Today, Socially Responsible financial investment has taken on particular importance. Investors normally select their most profitable investments, but over the years they have appreciated that companies develop Socially Responsible policies. Financial indices have also created Socially Responsible versions.

Different strategies will be tested to demonstrate that there are no significant differences between the performance of the portfolio composed by Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) stocks and those composed by ordinary stocks.
