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.

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.

MassMutual Premier Sm/Mid Cap Op I (MSOOX): 0.64% expense ratio and 0.57% management fee. MSOOX is a Small Cap Blend mutual fund, and usually targets stocks with market caps of less than $2 billion, letting investors diversify their funds among other kinds of small-cap equities. With annual returns of 13.22% over the last five years, this fund is a winner.

Janus Henderson Global Research Institutional (JAWGX - Free Report) is a stand out amongst its peers. JAWGX is a Global - Equity mutual fund. These funds invest in large markets like the U.S., Europe, and Japan, and operate with very few geographical limitations With five-year annualized performance of 15.06%, expense ratio of 0.81% and management fee of 0.63%, this diversified fund is an attractive buy with a strong history of performance.

Nuveen LargeCap Value Retire (TRLCX) is an attractive large-cap allocation.
