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.

The easiest way to judge a mutual fund's quality over time is by analyzing its performance, diversification, and fees. Using the Zacks Mutual Fund 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.

Columbia Dividend Income Fund Class I (GSFTX - Free Report) : 0.65% expense ratio and 0.53% management fee. GSFTX is a Large Cap Value fund. These funds invest in stocks with a market cap of $10 billion of more, but whose share prices do not reflect their intrinsic value. GSFTX has achieved five-year annual returns of an astounding 10.58%.

Loomis Sayles Growth Fund Y (LSGRX - Free Report) : 0.65% expense ratio and 0.5% management fee. LSGRX is a part of the Large Cap Growth mutual fund category, which invest in many large U.S. companies that are expected to grow much faster compared to other large-cap stocks. LSGRX, with annual returns of 12.22% over the last five years, is a well-diversified fund with a long track record of success.

Vanguard Diversified Equity Investor (VDEQX - Free Report) : 0.35% expense ratio and 0% management fee. VDEQX is a Large Cap Blend fund, targeting companies with market caps of over $10 billion. These funds offer investors a stability, and are perfect for people with a "buy and hold" mindset. With a five-year annual return of 10.2%, this fund is a well-diversified fund with a long track record of success.

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. But if that isn't the case, it might be time to have a conversation or reconsider this vitally important relationship.
