Global pension scheme investments: An insightful bibliometric analysis

The pension scheme is fundamental for social security systems worldwide and is crucial for people's well-being. Investing in these systems is very important as it helps to improve living standards. When people retire, having a good pension gives them confidence and security, which is good for the economy. It's essential to improve pension schemes to help people with lower incomes have a better living standard. This has led to more academic research being done recently. The goal of this article is to analyze existing research to understand new trends and future research opportunities. The study looked at 547 publications from the Web of Science database from 1995 to 2023, using tools like Biblioshiny, VOSviewer, and Datawrapper to analyze key articles, authors, countries, and institutions in terms of how much they were published and how influential they were. The study also looked at how these different factors related to each other. The research focused on important terms and how they have changed over time. There was also a specific investigation into finance.

Some important trends in the studies included the best investment strategies, income momentum, and risk management.
