Investing in mutual funds for retirement is never too late. And the Zacks Mutual Fund Rank can be an excellent tool for investors looking to invest in the best funds.

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.

BlackRock Advantage Large Cap Growth I

(CMVIX - Free Report) : 0.62% expense ratio and 0.57% management fee. CMVIX 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. With annual returns of 17.34% over the last five years, this fund is a winner.

Putnam Multi-Cap Core Fund Y

(PMYYX - Free Report) . Expense ratio: 0.72%. Management fee: 0.55%.
