3 Top-Ranked Mutual Funds for Your Retirement


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.

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.

American Century One Chce

(AOVIX): 0.01% expense ratio and 0% management fee. AOVIX is an Allocation Balanced mutual fund. Allocation Balanced funds look to invest across asset types, like stocks, bonds, and cash, and including precious metals or commodities is not unusual; these funds are mostly categorized by their respective asset allocation. With annual returns of 11.35% over the last five years, this fund is a winner.

American Funds Growth Portfolio 529A

(CGPAX) is a stand out amongst its peers. CGPAX 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 12.2%, expense ratio of 0.39% and management fee of 0%, this diversified fund is an attractive buy with a strong history of performance.

Fidelity Advisor Capital Development I

(FDEIX) is an attractive large-cap allocation. FDEIX 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. FDEIX has an expense ratio of 0.7%, management fee of 0.67%, and annual returns of 18.13% over the past five years.

These examples highlight the fact that there are some astonishingly good mutual funds out there. If your advisor has you in the good ones, bravo! If not, you may need to have a talk.
