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.

Fidelity Stock Selector Allocation Cap (FDSSX - Free Report) has a 0.5% expense ratio and 0.43% management fee. FDSSX is a Large Cap Growth mutual fund, and these funds invest in many large U.S. firms that are projected to grow at a faster rate than their large-cap peers. With yearly returns of 14.62% over the last five years, this fund clearly wins.

Janus Henderson Contrarian T (JSVAX) is a stand out amongst its peers. JSVAX 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. With five-year annualized performance of 13.63%, expense ratio of 0.76% and management fee of 0.49%, this diversified fund is an attractive buy with a strong history of performance.

JPMorgan Investor Growth Fund A (ONGAX). Expense ratio: 0.55%. Management fee: 0.05%. Five year annual return: 12.48%. ONGAX is part of the Large Cap Blend section, and these mutual funds most often invest in firms with a market capitalization of $10 billion or more. By investing in bigger companies, these funds offer more stability, and are often well-suited for investors with a "buy and hold" mindset.

These examples highlight the fact that there are some astonishingly good mutual funds out there. If your advisor has you in the good ones, bravo! If not, you may need to have a talk.
