But if you're just now discovering them, don't worry. When it comes to your retirement, it's never too late to start investing in the best.

Great performance, diversification, and low fees: it's a pretty simple formula for a great mutual fund. Some are better than others, but utilizing our Zacks Rank, we have identified three mutual funds that would make great additions to long-term investors' portfolios.

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

If you are looking to diversify your portfolio, consider Fidelity Growth Strategies Fund K (FAGKX - Free Report) . FAGKX is an All Cap Growth mutual fund. In order to increase diversification, these funds have holdings across small, medium, and large-cap levels. This fund is a winner, boasting an expense ratio of 0.41%, management fee of 0.38%, and a five-year annualized return track record of 10.5%.

BMO Large-Cap Growth Fund I : 0.54% expense ratio and 0.35% management fee. MLCIX 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. MLCIX, with annual returns of 13.4% over the last five years, is a well-diversified fund with a long track record of success.

American Funds Washington Mutual Investors R3 (RWMCX - Free Report) : 0.92% expense ratio and 0.23% management fee.
