If you are lucky enough to discover our list of Top-Ranked Funds for the first time, it's never too late to start investing with the best, especially when it comes to your retirement.

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 learn about some of Zacks' highest ranked mutual funds with low fees you may want to consider.

Principal Large Cap Growth I Institutional (PLGIX - Free Report) : 0.68% expense ratio and 0.6% management fee. PLGIX is a Large Cap Growth mutual fund, and these funds invest in many large U.S. firms that are projected to grow at a faster rate than their large-cap peers. PLGIX has achieved five-year annual returns of an astounding 16.43%.

Sarofim Equity Fund (SRFMX - Free Report) : 0.7% expense ratio and 0.5% management fee. SRFMX 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 yearly returns of 10.91% over the last five years, SRFMX is an effectively diversified fund with a long reputation of solidly positive performance.

AllianzGI Convertible Fund Admiral (ANNAX - Free Report) : 0.91% expense ratio and 0.57% management fee.
