Abstract	This study tries to present a comprehensive overview of Mutual Fund research and pinpoints the broad trends in the field. The study uses bibliometric analysis techniques and a Systematic Literature Review to achieve the stated purpose. A bibliometric analysis was conducted to identify patterns and trends focusing on citation, co-authorship, and co-occurrence. The bibliometric analysis was conducted on 1506 articles from the top finance and economics journals accessed through the Scopus database over 35 years (1991-2025). Analytical tools such as Biblioshiny with R packages and VOS Viewer were utilized. The sharp increase in publications suggests a growing interest among researchers in Mutual fund model research. The current analysis reconciles several divergent findings from earlier studies on Mutual fund research, including the risk analysis and the low-risk anomaly. Also, it identifies potential research gaps for future studies.
