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.

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 investors' portfolios.

Let's learn about some of Zacks' highest ranked mutual funds with low fees you may want to consider.

If you are looking to diversify your portfolio, consider Hartford Real Asset F (HRLFX). HRLFX is an Allocation Balanced mutual fund. Allocation Balanced funds look to invest across asset types, like stocks, bonds, and cash, and including precious metals or commodities is not unusual; these funds are mostly categorized by their respective asset allocation. This fund is a winner, boasting an expense ratio of 0.9%, management fee of 0.8%, and a five-year annualized return track record of 11.37%.

Invesco Summit P (SMMIX): 0.83% expense ratio and 0.63% management fee. SMMIX is a part of the Large Cap Growth mutual fund category, which invest in many large U.S. companies that are expected to grow much faster compared to other large-cap stocks. SMMIX, with annual returns of 12.38% over the last five years, is a well-diversified fund with a long track record of success.

Artisan Global Value Investor (ARTGX - Free Report) : 1.26% expense ratio and 0.99% management fee. ARTGX is a Global - Equity mutual fund, which invests their assets in large markets, leveraging the global economy. With a five-year annual return of 15.52%, this fund is a well-diversified fund with a long track record of success.

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.
