本研究は、香港上場企業を対象に、ESGファンドからの資金流入が企業の資金調達行動に与える影響を分析。アクティブファンドは約28ベーシスポイントの負債コスト削減をもたらし、パッシブファンドも約15ベーシスポイントの削減効果があることを発見。また、環境・ガバナンス要素が最も強力であり、グリーンボンド発行を約5%増加させることを示した。

This paper analyzes how ESG fund capital flows affect corporate financing decisions for Hong Kong-listed firms. Active ESG fund ownership reduces the average cost of debt by 28 basis points through engagement, while passive funds reduce it by 15 basis points via signaling and liquidity. Environmental and governance dimensions boost green bond issuance by about 5%.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of how capital flows from funds incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governance criteria affect the financing decisions of corporations listed in Hong Kong. The research design employs a robust multi-method empirical strategy to dissect the distinct mechanistic pathways through which actively managed and passively managed ESG funds exert their influence. Key findings reveal that active ESG fund ownership is associated with a substantial reduction in the average cost of debt for firms (approximately twenty-eight basis points), primarily facilitated through direct engagement and governance improvements. Passively managed ESG funds also demonstrate a significant effect, leading to a fifteen basis point decrease in borrowing costs, largely mediated by market signaling and liquidity enhancement mechanisms, with these impacts typically observed within a six-month window following portfolio adjustments. Furthermore, the environmental and governance dimensions of ESG emerge as the most potent factors, correlating with an approximate five percent increase in the issuance of green bonds as a proportion of total debt. This study contributes fresh empirical evidence on the financial materiality of sustainable investing within the unique context of an advanced emerging market and offers actionable implications for corporate financial strategy and regulatory policy.
