The easiest way to judge a mutual fund's quality over time is by analyzing its performance, diversification, and fees. Using our Zacks Rank of over 19,000 mutual funds, we've identified three outstanding mutual funds that are ideally suited to help long-term investors pursue and achieve their retirement investing goals.

Let's take a look at some of the highest Zacks Ranked mutual funds with the lowest fees.

BlackRock Advantage Large Cap Growth I (CMVIX - Free Report) has a 0.62% expense ratio and 0.57% management fee. CMVIX 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. With yearly returns of 12.49% over the last five years, this fund clearly wins.

Victory Sycamore Small Company Opportunity R (GOGFX - Free Report) : 1.44% expense ratio and 0.76% management fee. GOGFX is a Small Cap Value fund, and these funds are known for investing in companies with market caps under $2 billion.
