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 break down some of the mutual funds with the top Zacks Mutual Fund Rank and the lowest fees.

Fidelity Advisor Value Strategies K (FVSKX - Free Report) : 0.77% expense ratio and 0.68% management fee. FVSKX is a Global - Equity mutual fund investing in bigger markets like the U.S., Europe, and Japan; these kinds of funds aren't limited by geography. With annual returns of 12.91% over the last five years, this fund is a winner.

JPMorgan Large Cap Value Fund A (OLVAX - Free Report) : 0.93% expense ratio and 0.4% management fee. OLVAX 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. OLVAX, with annual returns of 12.09% over the last five years, is a well-diversified fund with a long track record of success.

PGIM QMA Large Cap Core Equity C (PTMCX - Free Report) is an attractive large-cap allocation. PTMCX is classified as a Large Cap Blend fund.
