Interview Question on Sustainability Index
I found many Morgan Stanley recent interview questions. For the role of " Sustainable Finance or Utilities Equity Research Associate" and similar.
It is related to the S&P Global Clean Energy Transition Index . Here is the link : https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/indices/sustainability/sp-global-clean-energy-transition-index/?#overview
Study the index for trading jobs also.
"In 2023, clean energy stocks dropped about 20% while the global stock market went up about 22%. Why did clean energy do so badly, and what would you buy or avoid in clean energy today?"
One answer is that Interest rates went up almost everywhere in the world . And clean energy projects (solar farms, wind farms) cost a lot upfront and pay back slowly over 20+ years. When borrowing gets expensive, those projects become much less profitable. Meanwhile, the broader market was lifted by AI/tech stocks that don't have this problem.
