If you are lucky enough to discover our list of Top-Ranked Funds for the first time, it's never too late to start investing with the best, especially when it comes to your retirement.

The easiest way to judge a mutual fund's quality over time is by analyzing its performance, diversification, and fees. Using our Zacks 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 #1 (Strong Buy) Zacks Rank and have low fees.

Oppenheimer Gold & Special Mineral R (OGMNX - Free Report) has a 1.42% expense ratio and 0.68% management fee. Sector - Precious Metal funds like OGMNX normally invest in stocks focused on the mining and production of precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. With yearly returns of 10.94% over the last five years, this fund clearly wins.

JPMorgan Large Cap Growth A (OLGAX - Free Report) is a stand out amongst its peers. OLGAX 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 five-year annualized performance of 13.81%, expense ratio of 0.93% and management fee of 0.45%, this diversified fund is an attractive buy with a strong history of performance.

MSIF Global Quality Portfolio I (MGQIX - Free Report) is an attractive large-cap allocation. MGQIX 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.
