Abstract

Based on the data of China's open-end stock funds and partial stock funds from 2009 to 2020, we take the implementation of green credit guidelines (GCG) as a quasi-natural experiment and investigate the impact of green credit policies on the net value crash risks of fund holding heavily polluting enterprise stocks. The results show that green credit policies will significantly increase the net value crash risks of fund holding heavily polluting enterprise stocks. Green credit policies increase the net value crash risks of fund holding heavily polluting enterprise stocks by increasing investor redemptions. Further tests show that better fund performance and higher portfolio concentration weaken the positive impact of green credit policies on the net value crash risks of fund holding heavily polluting enterprise stocks, and higher proportion of institutional investors strengthens the positive impact of green credit policies on the net value crash risks of fund holding heavily polluting enterprise stocks. This study supplements the literature on green credit policies and funds, and provides policy guidance for regulators.
