Cover Story: Do “green” stocks with lower carbon intensity truly provide a reliable safe haven for investors during oil price shocks? This groundbreaking study examines the constituent stocks of the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong and reveals that low-carbon stocks—commonly perceived as the darlings of sustainable investing—tend to exhibit higher volatility than their high-carbon counterparts, such as those in the utilities and energy sectors. By mapping the intricate web of connectedness among carbon intensity, oil price shocks, and external factors, the study challenges conventional ESG wisdom and uncovers why the pursuit of stable and sustainable returns is more complex than it appears. The findings of this study also offer valuable insights for both individual and institutional investors as they strategize around carbon investments. View this paper
