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 our Zacks Rank, we've found three mutual funds that would be great additions to any long-term retirement investors' portfolios.

Rydex Nova Investor (RYNVX - Free Report) has a 1.35% expense ratio and 0.75% management fee. RYNVX is a Large Cap Growth option; these mutual funds purchase stakes in numerous large U.S. companies that are expected to develop and grow at a faster rate than other large-cap stocks. With yearly returns of 14.5% over the last five years, this fund clearly wins.

T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth R (RRMGX - Free Report) is a stand out amongst its peers. RRMGX is a Mid Cap Growth mutual fund. These funds aim to target companies with a market capitalization between $2 billion and $10 billion that are also expected to exhibit more extensive growth opportunities for investors than their peers. With five-year annualized performance of 12.17%, expense ratio of 1.27% and management fee of 0.61%, this diversified fund is an attractive buy with a strong history of performance.

AB Small Cap Growth Adviser (QUAYX - Free Report) . Expense ratio: 0.91%. Management fee: 0.75%. Five year annual return: 14.02%. QUAYX is one of many Small Cap Growth mutual funds; these funds tend to create their portfolios around stocks with market capitalization of less than $2 billion.
