It is never too late to invest in mutual funds for retirement. As such, if you plan to invest in some of the best funds, the Zacks Mutual Fund Rank can provide you with valuable guidance.

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.

Here are the funds that have achieved the Zacks Mutual Fund Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and have low fees.

Arrow Managed Futures Strategy I (MFTNX - Free Report) : 1.27% expense ratio and 0.85% management fee. MFTNX 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. With annual returns of 10.38% over the last five years, this fund is a winner.

AQR Large Cap Multi Style R6 (QCERX): 0.3% expense ratio and 0.25% management fee. QCERX is classified as a Large Cap Blend fund. More often than not, Large Cap Blend mutual funds invest in companies with a market cap of over $10 billion. Buying stakes in bigger companies offer these funds more stability, and are well-suited for investors with a "buy and hold" mindset. With yearly returns of 15.61% over the last five years, QCERX is an effectively diversified fund with a long reputation of solidly positive performance.

Pzena Emerging Markets Value Inv (PZVEX). Expense ratio: 1.43%. Management fee: 1%. Five year annual return: 11.09%. PZVEX is a Non US - Equity fund. Many of these funds like to allocate across emerging and developed markets, and will often focus on all cap levels.
