The easiest, most reliable way to judge a mutual fund's quality over time is by analyzing its performance, diversification, and fees.

Let's break down some of the mutual funds with the top Zacks Mutual Fund Rank and the lowest fees.

Fidelity Advisor Semiconductors I (FELIX - Free Report) : 0.74% expense ratio and 0.52% management fee. FELIX is part of the Sector - Tech mutual fund category that invests in technology and lets investors own a stake in a notoriously volatile sector, but with a much more diversified approach. With annual returns of 19.25% over the last five years, this fund is a winner.
