The easiest, most reliable way to judge a mutual fund's quality over time is by analyzing its performance, diversification, and fees.

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

If you are looking to diversify your portfolio, consider Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure IR (GLPIX). GLPIX is classified as a Sector - Energy mutual fund.

This fund is a winner, boasting an expense ratio of 1.16%, management fee of 0.96%, and a five-year annualized return track record of 27.41%.
