There is never a wrong time to invest in mutual funds for retirement. So, if you're still looking for the best mutual funds, the Zacks Mutual Fund Rank can be a great guide.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 break down some of the mutual funds with the top Zacks Mutual Fund Rank and the lowest fees.American Beacon Large Cap Value Institutional (AADEX) has a 0.65% expense ratio and 0.55% management fee. AADEX is a part of the Large Cap Value category, and invests in equities with a market capitalization of $10 billion or more, but whose share prices do not reflect their intrinsic value. With yearly returns of 11.94% over the last five years, this fund clearly wins.Fuller & Thayler Behavioral Small Cap Investor (FTHNX). Expense ratio: 1.06%. Management fee: 0.6%. FTHNX is a Small Cap Blend mutual fund that usually targets companies with a market capitalization of less than $2 billion.
