Investment policy and the 'social conscience.' (editorial)
Article Abstract:
Many corporate investors are concerned that the companies or institutions in which they invest may be involved with countries or businesses that lack 'social conscience'. For example, a company may not wish to invest in corporations that are financially involved in countries that encourage racial segregation, are politically repressive, are involved in nuclear weaponry, permit industrial pollution, or permit killing of endangered species. Decisions about corporate investments and relationships should depend on three major considerations: (1) the company should clearly define what its policy will be on social or political issues, and the depth of its concern about these issues; (2) the degree and nature of involvement that companies or institutions have in specific foreign countries should be determined; and (3) the reliability of informationregarding these activities should be ascertained.

Ex-dividend day pricing in New Zealand
Article Abstract:
The testing for the presence of a tax clientele effect consistent with prior tests for the same effect was studied using a sample from a particular tax regime period in New Zealand. Companies included in the study could pay either or both taxable and non-taxable dividends. Previous results were inconclusive and this was attributed to the various testing methods and sample formation used. The results showed the presence of a tax clientele effect in the New Zealand market for the given time period.
