The funds in our "Magnificent Retirement Mutual Funds" list are among the best managed and best performing mutual funds available. If you are just finding out about our Top-Ranked Funds list, we welcome you!

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.

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

Invesco Summit R5 (SMITX - Free Report) has a 0.77% expense ratio and 0.63% management fee. SMITX 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 15.25% over the last five years, this fund clearly wins.

T. Rowe Price Dividend Growth Adviser (TADGX - Free Report) : 0.91% expense ratio and 0.49% management fee. TADGX 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 yearly returns of 10.15% over the last five years, TADGX is an effectively diversified fund with a long reputation of solidly positive performance.

Principal Mid Cap Growth J (PMGJX - Free Report) is an attractive large-cap allocation. PMGJX 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. PMGJX has an expense ratio of 0.97%, management fee of 0.65%, and annual returns of 10.39% over the past five years.
