Although issuances of sustainable debt are growing worldwide, there is a lack of studies that allow a better understanding the social bond issuances, particularly those with a gender focus, which are directly related to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals 5, 8, 9, and 10. This study addresses the identified knowledge gap by examining the overall state of the gender social bonds in the Latin American market between 2019 and 2022. The results revealed that a total of USD 1 billion was issued by 12 issuers conducting 14 issuances across six countries. Also, most issuances were financial corporations (58.4%) and supranational banks had a pivotal role in this market by being buyers and/or lead managers. As the first study conducted on this topic, this represents a milestone in sustainable finance research. Finally, this study will allow policy makers, regulators, and researchers to promote the issuance of gender social bonds.

The analysis of green bonds and the composition of portfolio investments has gained importance in recent research. The current global context of Sustainable Development Goals requires investors to be environmentally, politically, and socially sustainable, in which the financing of green innovations has occupied a central role. Through the Web of Science and Scopus databases, we focused on analyzing recent trends and further research on green bonds into portfolio investments. The study was performed on 102 studies using Tree of Science (ToS), VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix techniques. We recognize the principal authors and sources, the most influential studies, and the bibliography coupling of studies and authors to identify their importance in the topic analysis. In order to expand the green bond market, particularly at the small and medium enterprise level, more policy instruments are needed. Thus, this study provides an extensive understanding of the research status of the analysis of green bonds and portfolio investments research as an essential input for market participants, researchers, policymakers, and decision-makers.

“…Furthermore, the number of lines connecting co‐authors serves as a significant indicator of their relevance within the analyzed bibliographic dataset (González‐Ruiz et al, 2021). As these lines intersect and weave together, they create a mosaic of intellectual collaboration, showcasing the contributions of each researcher to the collective understanding of social finance.…”

Research on sustainable finance has experienced significant growth in recent years, but the exploration from a comprehensive perspective is still in its nascent stages. As of July 2023, our research revealed that this area remains relatively underexplored in the existing body of knowledge, leading to a notable lack of comprehensive research analyzing the current state‐of‐the‐art in the social finance arena. To address this gap, our study takes a pioneering approach by utilizing scientometrics and network analysis techniques, specifically employing VOSviewer and Bibliometrix in conjunction with Web of Science and Scopus databases. By merging data from both sources and removing duplicate entries, we established a consolidated database of 401 relevant studies. Through our analysis, we have identified prominent authors, sources, and the most influential studies in the social finance arena. Additionally, we examined the coupling of studies and authors to ascertain their significance in this emerging domain. The results have unveiled several prominent further research, including mainly social banking, Islamic finance, social innovation, the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic, impact investing, social impact bonds, and Sustainable Development Goals. By shedding light on the current landscape, our findings comprehensively understand the field's progress and potential directions. This insight is valuable for market participants, researchers, policymakers, and decision‐makers seeking to navigate and contribute to the evolving landscape of sustainable finance with a social focus. Furthermore, our innovative use of scientometrics and network analysis sets a precedent for future research exploring the complex interplay between finance, development, and sustainability.
