In Indonesia, the SRI portfolio and Islamic
financial investments are named SRI-KEHATI and
the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII). Both have relatively
significant growth. Based on data on the Indonesia
Stock Exchange, the SRI-KEHATI Index and JII as
of November 21, 2018, the SRI-KEHATI Index ranks
2.12 basis points and JII at 3.57 basis points.
This study uses a quantitative approach and
portfolio performance models (Jensen measurement,
Treynor Index, and Sharpe Index) as performance
indicators, with the current portfolio hypothesis that
SRI portfolios have better performance than
conventional performance.
2 LITERATURE REVIEW
The ethical investment that develops in Indonesia is
sharia investment which aligned with ethical
investment because it develops values in investment
activities (Toni, 2004). Meanwhile, in the West,
ethical investment places more emphasis on
environmental and social issues, such as war,
environmental destruction, and the use of alternative
energy. At the same time, sharia emphasizes the
criteria of haram and halal such as alcohol, gambling,
usury practices and others.
Sjöström (2012), summarizes the findings of
studies that compare SRI with conventional funds
undertaken between 2008 to 2010 into four groups,
that are, (i) neutral performance ; (ii) positive
performance; negative performance; and (iv) mixed
performance. (Sjöström, 2012) also concludes that
there is no standard SRI concept, Spanish SRI fund is
defined differently to an Australian SRI fund, and a
Shariah fund may include different investment
criteria than an environmental and so on. His finding
is there's positive performance of SRI compared to
conventional investment. Although studies that have
reported negative results for SRI are in the minority,
those results are not disqualified.
The inherent differences between Islamic and SRI
funds regarding the restrictions applied to both funds
make it difficult to theorize which fund should
perform better or worse. Islamic funds are
characterized by strict limitations such as a
purification process and the exclusion of investment
in interest-bearing securities, which SRI funds are not
subjected. On the portfolio theory, it could be likely
that Islamic funds will underperform SRI and
conventional funds because fewer investment
alternatives exist (restricted diversification) for
Islamic funds and may also have an adverse selection
effect on the fund's financial performance.
Alternatively, Islamic funds could outperform SRI
and conventional funds because less diversification
exposes them to more systemic risk, or possibly that
fund managers have a small number of funds to
choose from and will be careful in selecting securities
(Alam, Tang, & Rajjaque, 2013).
The literature has previously compared SRI, and
conventional funds, Islamic and conventional funds,
and there exists sparse literature on the comparative
performance of SRI and Islamic funds with
Abdelsalam, Duygun, Matallín-Sáez, & Tortosa-
Ausina (2014) pointing out that no other research had
been carried out in that domain before their study.
They find that a difference in performance between
SRI and Islamic funds is only visible when funds are
divided into several quantiles classifying their
performance from best to worst. However, their
findings do not point to one conclusion and similar to
the debate regarding Islamic and conventional funds,
the comparative performance literature for Islamic
and SRI funds has no clear consensus (Boo, Ee, Li, &
Rashid, 2017; Reddy et al., 2017).
3 METHODOLOGY
This study refers to a performance approach with
comparative risk adjustment where the results show
that the SR portfolio based on current research is that
SRI portfolios have better performance than
conventional performance using quantitative
approaches and portfolio performance models of
Jensen measurement, Treynor Index and Sharpe
Index. The data used is the performance of SRI and
JII in 2015-2018 and uses the interest rate from Bank
Indonesia and monthly calculations.
3.1 Jensen Index
Portfolio performance measurement using the Jensen
method is based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model
(CAPM). (Hudori, 2015). The equation of measuring
the performance of the Treynor method measures the
differences from the average portfolio return with the
expected portfolio return value obtained from the
CAPM calculation results (Sutawisena, 2011;
Hudori, 2015). Treynor, what is considered as
fundamental risk-adjusted is systematic risk, by
modifying it to reflect the superiority or priority of
investment managers in forecasting security prices.
Jensen believes that good portfolio performance is a
portfolio that has a portfolio performance that
exceeds market performance following its systematic
risk. The first risk-adjusted model of equilibrium used
