Abstract
A large number of studies examine the safe-haven characteristics of different asset classes. However, this paper addresses a lack of systematic literature reviews and bibliometric analyses with a sound theoretical viewpoint the safe-haven assets literature by focusing on 1305 studies published in top-tier journals during 2013–2026 from the Scopus database. We observe that safe-haven assets-related studies predominantly emerge during periods of crises and rising economic uncertainty, such as the COVID-19 crisis. We find that there are no true safe-haven assets. The ability of a particular asset to function as a safe-haven depends on the economic conditions, sources of crisis, and other factors. Finally, the paper provides directions for future research.
