Read MoreHide Full Article

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 best way to shortlist great mutual funds is to ensure solid performance, diversification, and low fees. Some are better than others, but utilizing the Zacks Mutual Fund Rank, we have identified three mutual funds that could be solid additions to one's retirement portfolio.

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 T. Rowe Price Value I (TRPIX). TRPIX is a Large Cap Value fund. These funds invest in stocks with a market cap of $10 billion of more, but whose share prices do not reflect their intrinsic value. This fund is a winner, boasting an expense ratio of 0.57%, management fee of 0.55%, and a five-year annualized return track record of 10.42%.

Heartland Value Fund Institutional (HNTVX - Free Report) is a stand out amongst its peers. HNTVX is a Small Cap Value mutual fund, investing in small companies with stock market valuation less than $2 billion. With five-year annualized performance of 12.23%, expense ratio of 0.91% and management fee of 0.75%, this diversified fund is an attractive buy with a strong history of performance.

Thornburg Global Opportunities R6 (THOGX). Expense ratio: 0.86%. Management fee: 0.83%. Five year annual return: 14.25%. THOGX is a Global - Equity mutual fund investing in bigger markets like the U.S., Europe, and Japan; these kinds of funds aren't limited by geography.

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.
