Abstract

This study aims at assessing whether good governance practices decrease the volatility of companies traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX250). Our results suggest that, indeed, the more a company has good corporate governance practices, the more its beta (systematic risk) decreases. We found that the shareholders structure and the CEO and directors compensation are the most relevant practices contributing to the reduction of risk level. Our findings should enable financial market actors, in particular institutional investors and ethical funds, to make more appropriate choice.
