There is never a wrong time to invest in mutual funds for retirement. So, if you're still looking for the best mutual funds, the Zacks Mutual Fund Rank can be a great guide.

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

Invesco Growth and Income Y

(ACGMX - Free Report) has a 0.54% expense ratio and 0.36% management fee. ACGMX 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 14.72% over the last five years, this fund clearly wins.

John Hancock Disciplined Value NAV

(JDVNX - Free Report) : 0.64% expense ratio and 0.61% management fee. JDVNX is a part of the Large Cap Value category, and invests in equities with a market capitalization of $10 billion or more, but whose share prices do not reflect their intrinsic value. JDVNX, with annual returns of 14.91% over the last five years, is a well-diversified fund with a long track record of success.

Neuberger Berman Mid Cap Growth R6

(NRMGX - Free Report) is an attractive large-cap allocation. NRMGX is a Mid Cap Growth mutual fund. These funds aim to target companies with a market capitalization between $2 billion and $10 billion that are also expected to exhibit more extensive growth opportunities for investors than their peers. NRMGX has an expense ratio of 0.59%, management fee of 0.54%, and annual returns of 11.02% over the past five years.

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.
