Read MoreHide Full Article

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 best way to shortlist great mutual funds is to ensure solid performance, diversification, and low fees. Some are better than others, but utilizing the Zacks Mutual Fund Rank, we have identified three mutual funds that could be solid additions to one's retirement portfolio.

Here are the funds that have achieved the Zacks Mutual Fund Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and have low fees.

Wells Fargo Disciplined US Core A

(EVSAX - Free Report) has a 0.84% expense ratio and 0.35% management fee. EVSAX 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 15.62% over the last five years, this fund clearly wins.

Fidelity Advisor New Insights Z

(FZANX - Free Report) is a stand out amongst its peers. FZANX 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 five-year annualized performance of 16.18%, expense ratio of 0.54% and management fee of 0.28%, this diversified fund is an attractive buy with a strong history of performance.

John Hancock Disciplined Value I

(JVLIX - Free Report) . Expense ratio: 0.77%. Management fee: 0.61%. Five year annual return: 12.12%. JVLIX is a Large Cap Value mutual fund, which invests in stocks with a market cap of $10 billion of more, but whose share prices do not reflect their intrinsic value.
