But if you're just now discovering them, don't worry. When it comes to your retirement, it's never too late to start investing in the best.

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.

Janus Henderson Enterprise A (JDMAX - Free Report) : 1.11% expense ratio and 0.64% management fee. JDMAX 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. With annual returns of 12.8% over the last five years, this fund is a winner.

Oppenheimer Discovery R (ODINX - Free Report) : 1.33% expense ratio and 0.63% management fee. ODINX is one of many Small Cap Growth mutual funds; these funds tend to create their portfolios around stocks with market capitalization of less than $2 billion. ODINX, with annual returns of 12.3% over the last five years, is a well-diversified fund with a long track record of success.

BlackRock Advantage Large Cap Core S . Expense ratio: 0.72%. Management fee: 0.43%. Five year annual return: 10.19%. MSLRX is classified as a Large Cap Blend fund.
