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 investors' portfolios.
Let's take a look at some of our top-ranked mutual funds with the lowest fees.
Neuberger Berman Social Responsible R6(NRSRX) has a 0.59% expense ratio and 0.54% management fee. NRSRX 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 14.05% over the last five years, this fund clearly wins.
Alger Focus Equity Y(ALGYX). Expense ratio: 0.6%. Management fee: 0.52%. ALGYX is a Large Cap Growth mutual fund, and these funds invest in many large U.S. firms that are projected to grow at a faster rate than their large-cap peers. This fund has managed to produce a robust 19.69% over the last five years.
American Funds Global Growth R6(RGGGX). Expense ratio: 0.01%. Management fee: 0%. Five year annual return: 9.51%. RGGGX 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.
