摘要
This paper investigates the performance of Shariah and conventional stock portfolios in India during the period 2001-2017 by using asset pricing models. We first examine the influence of Shariah investment principles on the stock returns' cross-section. Then we assess the overall risk of Shariah and conventional portfolios, focusing also on financial crises. We provide evidence of a positive Shariah effect on stock returns in India. Therefore, Shariah stocks offer higher returns than non-Shariah stocks. We also find that Shariah portfolios have lower risk than unconstrained conventional ones. Overall our results reveal that both portfolios have similar performance, but the Shariah portfolio has a lower level of risk. Finally, the results clearly indicate that the volatility of the Shariah portfolio is lower during the crisis period.
