Abstract
This study is the first to examine the performance of technical trading in tradeable Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) indices. We employ a number of popular trend-following and mean-reverting technical trading rules and find that trend-following technical trading rules offer very little predictive power or significant returns to investors. However the mean-reverting technical trading rules do offer significant returns, even after controlling for data-snooping, risk, transaction costs and out-of-sample testing. Therefore our results add to the literature by showing that mean-reverting technical trading rules offer substantial predictive power in SRI indices, but traditional trend-following rules offer very little predictive power.
