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.
Here are the funds that have achieved the Zacks Mutual Fund Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and have low fees.
Goldman Sachs US Equity Dividend & Premier IR (GVIRX): 0.75% expense ratio and 0.69% management fee. GVIRX 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 11.59% over the last five years, this fund is a winner.
Glenmede International Secured Options Portfolio (NOVIX). Expense ratio: 0.96%. Management fee: 0.55%. NOVIX is a Non US - Equity fund. Many of these funds like to allocate across emerging and developed markets, and will often focus on all cap levels. This fund has managed to produce a robust 11.49% over the last five years.
Hennessy Cornerstone Growth Institutional (HICGX): 1% expense ratio and 0.74% management fee. HICGX is an All Cap Growth mutual fund investing in a wide variety of equities, no matter the size of the company and as long as the firm exhibits growth characteristics. With a five-year annual return of 13.09%, this fund is a well-diversified fund with a long track record of success.
