摘要

如果一家公司的活动与捐赠基金的慈善使命背道而驰,那么捐赠基金应该向这家公司投资多少?我提出了描述这类投资决策的第一个模型。我介绍了一种名为“使命对冲”的策略,与传统的社会责任投资相比,基金会可能会从向不受欢迎的公司倾斜投资中受益,从而使资金可用性与需求保持一致。我描述了推动基金会投资决策的权衡。通过利用特殊的公司风险,通常分散在利润最大化的投资组合中,基金会可能会发现,不良行为者提供了对冲特定任务风险的好机会。(凝胶g11, g14, l31, m14)

Divest, Disregard, or Double Down? Philanthropic Endowment Investments in Objectionable Firms
How much, if at all, should an endowment invest in a firm whose activities run counter to the charitable missions the endowment funds? I offer the first model characterizing this type of investment decision. I introduce a strategy called “mission hedging,” where—in contrast to traditional socially responsible investing—foundations may benefit from skewing investment toward the objectionable firm in order to align funding availability with need. I characterize the trade-offs driving foundation investment decisions. By leveraging the idiosyncratic firm risk typically diversified away in profit-maximizing portfolios, foundations may find that bad actors provide good opportunities to hedge mission-specific risks. (JEL G11, G14, L31, M14)
