Sustainability Effects On Market Risk, Liquidity, And Expected Return
Keywords:
Expected Return; Market Risk; ESG; Liquidity; CAPMAbstract
The expected return of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange is examined in this study in relation to market risk, liquidity, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects. Inspired by conflicting empirical results and the growing importance of sustainability issues, the study employs a quantitative approach with balanced panel data from 100 businesses between 2022 and 2024. EViews 12 was used for panel regression, and model specification tests such as the Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier tests confirmed that the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) was the best estimator. The empirical findings show that, at the 5% significance level, market risk, ESG performance, and liquidity all have favorable and statistically significant effects on predicted return. These results are consistent with the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), Signaling Theory, and Liquidity Preference Theory, indicating that both sustainability and liquidity disclosures function as reliable market signals. The results provide useful information for investors and financial professionals looking to incorporate risk, sustainability, and liquidity into investment choices. They also add to the body of knowledge on asset pricing in emerging markets.
