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.
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 the Zacks Mutual Fund 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 top Zacks Mutual Fund Rank and the lowest fees.
Columbia Dividend Income Fund R (CDIRX - Free Report) : 1.15% expense ratio and 0.53% management fee. CDIRX is a Large Cap Value mutual fund, which invests in stocks with a market cap of $10 billion of more, but whose share prices do not reflect their intrinsic value. With annual returns of 9.15% over the last five years, this fund is a winner.
ClearBridge Large Cap Growth IS (LSITX - Free Report) is a stand out amongst its peers. LSITX 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 10.53%, expense ratio of 0.66% and management fee of 0.61%, this diversified fund is an attractive buy with a strong history of performance.
Oak Ridge Dividend Growth I (ORDNX - Free Report) : 0.97% expense ratio and 0.75% management fee. ORDNX is a Large Cap Blend fund, targeting companies with market caps of over $10 billion.
