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.

RBB Free Market US Equity

(FMUEX - Free Report) has a 0.54% expense ratio and 0.49% management fee. FMUEX is an All Cap Growth mutual fund with holdings across small, medium, and large-cap levels in order to increase diversification. With yearly returns of 18.24% over the last five years, this fund clearly wins.

Northern Income Equity

(NOIEX - Free Report) . Expense ratio: 0.49%. Management fee: 0.46%.
