Here are the funds that have achieved the Zacks Mutual Fund Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and have low fees.

Columbia Dividend Income Fund R5 (CDDRX - Free Report) has a 0.6% expense ratio and 0.53% management fee. CDDRX 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 yearly returns of 10.65% over the last five years, this fund clearly wins.

GQEFX 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 13.98% over the last five years, GQEFX is an effectively diversified fund with a long reputation of solidly positive performance.

Vanguard Capital Opportunity Admiral (VHCAX - Free Report) : 0.36% expense ratio and 0.35% management fee. VHCAX 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.
