Bakgrund: Under de senaste åren har svenska investerares intresse för hållbara investeringar ökat. Tidigare studier har genomförts för att identifiera vem den hållbara investeraren är, varför de väljer att investera hållbart och hur de går till väga. Däremot finns det fortfarande behov av vidare forskning på den svenska marknaden varav en kunskapslucka identifierats. Syfte: Syftet är att via en kvantitativ studie undersöka vilka demografiska faktorer som kännetecknar svenska, hållbara investerare. Studien ämnar även att undersöka vilka motiv och tillvägagångssätt som ligger till grund för hållbara investeringsbeslut på den svenska finansmarknaden. Metod: Studien har tillämpat en kvantitativ metod, deduktiv ansats, och en ickeexperimentell tvärsnittsdesign. Det empiriska materialet samlades in via en digital enkätundersökning via ett bekvämlighetsurval. Undersökningen resulterade i totalt 469 användbara svar som sedan analyserades via regressionsanalyser. Resultat: För de demografiska faktorerna är det endast kön som har ett 5 procent signifikant samband med den beroende variabeln. Resultatet visar även att samtliga undersökta motiv och tillvägagångssätt, med undantag för flockbeteende, har ett 5 procent signifikant samband med den beroende variabeln. Slutsats: Ambitionen med studien var att öka förståelsen för hållbara investeringar från den privata investerarens perspektiv. Således har studien bidragit med en förståelse för vem den svenska, hållbara investeraren är, hur den går till väga och varför den investerar hållbart. / Background: In recent years, Swedish investors have shown an increasing interest in sustainable investments. Previous studies have been conducted to identify who the sustainable investor is, why the investor chooses to invest sustainably and what strategy he or she uses. However, there is a need of further research in the Swedish market, whereof a knowledge gap has been identified.  Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate what demographic factors that characterize Swedish, sustainable investors. The study also intends to examine the motives and strategies used in the sustainable investment decision. Methodology: The study has applied a quantitative method, deductive approach, and a non-experimental cross-sectional design. The empirical material was conducted via a digital survey based on convenience sampling. The survey resulted in a total of 469 useful responses which were then analyzed via regression analyzes. Results:  The result shows that the demographic factor gender is the only independent variable with a 5 percent significant impact on the dependent variable. The result also shows that all examined motives and strategies, with the exception of herding, have a 5 percent significant impact on the dependent variable.  Conclusion: The aim of the study was to increase the understanding of sustainable investments from the perspective of the private investor. Thereby, the study contributes with an understanding of who the Swedish, sustainable investor is, what strategy the investor uses and why the investor invests sustainably.
