The past decade has witnessed a mounting interest in socially responsible mutual funds. In fact, socially responsible investment (SRI) has become quite popular, attracting increasing investment flows and moving from a niche market to a mainstream investment strategy. According to a survey by The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment, the assets under management of SRI mutual funds increased by 1,000% between 1994 and 2013. Recent growth has also been relevant: between 2016 and 2018, the value of investments managed by professional asset managers increased 34%, with sustainable investment accounting for more than 50% of total professionally managed assets in Canada, Australia and New Zealand in early 2018, almost half in Europe, 26% in the United States and 18% in Japan (GSI, 2019).

This paper investigates the value relevance of banking capital structure voluntary choices, their determinants, and the preferred debt / equity policy models, using a unique survey-based dataset gathered through a face-to-face interview, conducted to a sample of 51 Portuguese banks’ CEOs (89.5% survey response rate), over the 1989-1998 period. Survey participants, elicited ownership structure control rights, growth opportunities, reputation in banking markets, financial flexibility, information signaling, and debt tax-shields, as some of the most relevant capital structure determinants at the bank level. The supervisory and regulatory discipline was indicated as the more influential external determinant for capital structure choice. A majority of 60 percent of state-owned bank CEOs declared a preference for following pre-determined guidelines on bank funding as capital structure policy model. Almost 53 percent of the privately-owned bank CEOs revealed a significant preference for the tradeoff capital structure policy model. The pecking order and the market-timing theories received moderate to weak preference. The paper extends the literature, providing field evidence that capital structure choice does matter for bank value, and may it be explained within the framework of the conventional corporate capital structure theory.
