Sažetak
Fund performance has been a hot topic in the financial research
area, fair and correct evaluation of fund performance is of great
significance for fund investors and companies. However, most of
the relevant publications do not have any retrospective analysis
of this topic in terms of knowledge domain to show its development
trends and research concerns. To address this issue, two
effective bibliometric tools namely Citespace II (The 5.3.R4
Edition) and SciMat are used to analyze the knowledge domain of
this field in this paper. We have analyzed 979 articles related to
fund performance from Web of Science between 1966 and 2019
(July), the analysis content includes the current status, collaboration
network, co-citation network, and emerging trends of fund
performance research, then we have derived the following
desired conclusions: (1) In the last twenty years, there was a significant
increase in the publication and citation numbers of fund
performance research; especially, the relative research has
become interdisciplinary and internationalized. (2) “Mutual Fund
Performance”, “Fund Return”, “Investment Performance”, and
“Portfolio Selection” are the hottest topics in the fund performance
research. (3) “Small Fund” and “Investor Reaction” are the
two emerging trends in the fund performance research. To sum
up, there are two main contributions in this paper: First, we provide
a full bibliometric analysis about the fund performance
research. Second, we make the further development of fund performance
research easier and more clearly to show the directions
to learn and study for beginners.
