Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research on mutual fund investments spanning from 2021 to 2025, with a focus on how these studies align with the objectives of knowledge management. Knowledge management plays a crucial role in financial decision-making by enabling better information dissemination, improving investor awareness, and fostering strategic financial planning. By examining key trends, influential authors, citation patterns, and methodological approaches, this paper sheds light on how mutual fund investment research contributes to knowledge creation, organization, and application. The findings highlight dominant theoretical frameworks, geographical biases, and methodological approaches in existing studies, offering insights into areas requiring further exploration. Additionally, research gaps and future directions are discussed to encourage a more comprehensive understanding of mutual fund investment behaviour and its integration into knowledge management systems. The study underscores the importance of integrating structured knowledge management practices in financial research to support investors, policymakers, and academic researchers in making informed investment decisions.
