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 take a look at some of our top-ranked mutual funds with the lowest fees.

WCM Focused Intl Equity Instl (WCMVX): 0.86% expense ratio and 0.85% management fee. WCMVX is a Non US - Equity option, focusing their investments acoss emerging and developed markets, and can often extend across cap levels too. With annual returns of 14.8% over the last five years, this fund is a winner.

Janus Henderson Contrarian R (JCNRX - Free Report) is a stand out amongst its peers. JCNRX 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. With five-year annualized performance of 11.7%, expense ratio of 1.36% and management fee of 0.49%, this diversified fund is an attractive buy with a strong history of performance.

Victory Global Energy Transition Y (RSNYX): 1.15% expense ratio and 1% management fee. RSNYX is a Sector - Energy mutual fund, which encompasses a wide range of vastly changing and vitally important industries throughout this massive global sector. The fund is mainly invested in equities, has a long reputation of salutary performance, and has yearly returns of 39.9% over the last 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.
