本文研究目的為透過基金經理人特徵與基金特徵來檢驗何者驅動基金從事ESG投資，透過OLS模型進行複迴歸分析，研究結果顯示基金經理人及基金特徵變數確實與基金從事ESG投資有關聯。
研究結果顯示：第一，基金經理人性別、從業總年資、工作經歷數量、學歷國籍、學歷制度、就讀財金專業領域、基金成立時間、規模、長短期報酬率與基金從事ESG整體面(ESG)投資之間有顯著關係。第二，基金經理人性別、學歷國籍、學歷制度、基金長短期報酬率和基金從事環境面(E)投資之間亦有顯著關係。最後，基金經理人性別、從業總年資、工作經歷數量、學歷、學歷國籍、就讀財金專業領域、基金成立時間、淨值、規模、長短期報酬率與基金從事公司治理面(G)投資之間有顯著關係存在。

This paper examines which characteristic of managers and funds will drive mutual funds to engage in ESG investment via OLS multiple regression models. The empirical results show that characteristic of managers and funds are indeed related to the funds engaged in ESG investment.
The empirical results are as fallows. First, managers’ gender, total years of seniority, number of career experience, degree (domestic or oversea), degree (public school in Taiwan), financial professional field of study, fund establishment time, scale, long-term and short-term returns can affect funds engaged in the ESG investment. Second, managers’ gender, degree (domestic or oversea), degree (public school in Taiwan), long-term and short-term returns of funds can also affect funds engaged in the environmental investment. Finally, the gender, total years of seniority, number of career experience, degree, degree (domestic or oversea), financial professional field of study, fund establishment time, net asset value, scale, long-term and short-term returns are also significant for funds engaged in corporate governance investment.
