It is never too late to invest in mutual funds for retirement. As such, if you plan to invest in some of the best funds, the Zacks Mutual Fund Rank can provide you with valuable guidance.How can you tell a good mutual fund from a bad one? It's pretty basic: if the fund is diversified, has low fees, and shows strong performance, it's a keeper. Of course, there's a wide range, but using the Zacks Mutual Fund Rank, we've found three mutual funds that would be great additions to any long-term retirement investors' portfolios.Let's learn about some of Zacks' highest ranked mutual funds with low fees you may want to consider.American Funds Growth and Income Portfolio 529 E (CGNEX): 0.6% expense ratio and 0% management fee. CGNEX is part of the Large Cap Blend section, and these mutual funds most often invest in firms with a market capitalization of $10 billion or more. By investing in bigger companies, these funds offer more stability, and are often well-suited for investors with a "buy and hold" mindset. With annual returns of 9.86% over the last five years, this fund is a winner.ProFunds Semicond UltraSector Investor (SMPIX): 1.48% expense ratio and 0.75% management fee. SMPIX is a Sector - Tech mutual fund, allowing investors to own a stake in a notoriously volatile sector with a much more diversified approach. SMPIX, with annual returns of 49.86% over the last five years, is a well-diversified fund with a long track record of success.Ivy Large Cap Growth A (WLGAX): 0.89% expense ratio and 0.6% management fee. WLGAX is a Large Cap Growth option; these mutual funds purchase stakes in numerous large U.S. companies that are expected to develop and grow at a faster rate than other large-cap stocks. The fund is mainly invested in equities, has a long reputation of salutary performance, and has yearly returns of 16.9% over the last five years.We hope that your investment advisor (if you use one) has you invested in one or all of the top-ranked mutual funds we've reviewed.
