 EFFECTIVENESS OF INVESTING IN THE STOCKS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY COMPANIES IN POLANDDaniluk Katarzyna Economic and Regional Studies (Studia Ekonomiczne i Regionalne), 2022, vol. 15, issue 01 Abstract: Subject and purpose of work: This study investigates the effectiveness of equity investment in renewable energy companies. The aim of the research is to compare the effectiveness of investing in the stocks of companies from the conventional and renewable energy sector on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Materials and methods: The research material consisted of the stock prices of selected energy companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange’s Main Market and NewConnect. Representative investment portfolios were created and their average monthly logarithmic rates of return, standard deviations and Sharpe ratios for the period 2013–2020 were examined. Results: The portfolios of renewable energy companies were characterised by higher risk, but also higher average returns; as a result, they achieved higher risk-adjusted efficiency ratios than the portfolios of conventional energy companies. Conclusions: Shares in renewable energy companies, despite a significant risk, can be an attractive form of investment, which is crucial for privately financing the energy transformation in Poland.
