Fintech Converges with Investment and Risk: A Bibliometric Review

The rapid growth of fintech is revolutionizing the delivery, access, and management of financial services. It also presents new risks and opportunities for investment. Despite growing scholarly interest, current research often remains fragmented and continues to explore technological innovation, investment behavior, and risk management in isolation without fully addressing their interrelated dynamics. This lack of integration has hindered a comprehensive understanding of how fintech transforms financial ecosystems and subsequent decision-making processes. By conducting a systematic literature review, study addresses the research gap by examining key developments, trends, and patterns within this field through bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer 1.6.20 and Biblioshiny 2025. From the perspectives of authors, affiliations, papers, and journals, this investigation identifies publication trends, key contributors, and geographic distribution. The results also indicate that numerous areas warrant further investigation, such as sustainability, inclusion, risk management, technologies, and behavioral traits. The review provides a more comprehensive understanding of how fintech is affecting investment practices and risk considerations by consolidating findings and analyses. It underscores substantial prospects for future research and fosters a more comprehensive academic dialogue, thereby facilitating the advancement of more informed, responsive, and forward-thinking fintech strategies in financial management.
