Abstract
Investor preferences have long been analyzed to improve both portfolio management and
company investor relations. The entry of new individuals investing combined with the economic
uncertainty brought by COVID-19 is likely to show new investor preferences. This thesis
examines the relationship between individual investors ownership and companies’ ESG scores to
see if there is a heighten ESG preference for this class of investors. Results suggest that while
ESG is a component of individual investors preference, it does not fully explain their trading
decisions.
Key Words: ESG, individual investors preferences, e-trading, COVID-19
