One of the best for retirement funds are actually Index funds where you buy the S&P 500 index for example. You can’t beat the market with an ETF yet you won’t lose against the market like you likely will with a mutual fund!
I think an ETF generally does better than a mutual funds because ETF usually just tracks an index so it can be handled automatically resulting in very low fees, somewhere in the region of 0.5%. While mutual funds are still attempting to beat the market which causes higher fees somewhere closer to 2% plus often as much as 20% of your capital gains too.
