3 Magnificent Mutual Funds to Maximize Your Retirement Portfolio

There is never a wrong time to invest in mutual funds for retirement. So, if you're still looking for the best mutual funds, the Zacks Mutual Fund Rank can be a great guide.

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

If you are looking to diversify your portfolio, consider

BNY Mellon Natural Resources A

(DNLAX). DNLAX is a Sector - Energy mutual fund, which encompasses a wide range of vastly changing and vitally important industries throughout this massive global sector. This fund is a winner, boasting an expense ratio of 1.17%, management fee of 0.75%, and a five-year annualized return track record of 18.13%.

Fidelity Advisor Capital Development O

(FDETX) is a stand out amongst its peers. FDETX 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. With five-year annualized performance of 15.64%, expense ratio of 0.54% and management fee of 0.53%, this diversified fund is an attractive buy with a strong history of performance.

T.Rowe Price Integrat US SMID Core

(TQSMX). Expense ratio: 0.87%. Management fee: 0.64%. Five year annual return: 12.12%. TQSMX is a Small Cap Blend mutual fund, allowing investors a way to diversify their funds among various types of small-cap stocks.

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.
