Just so you know, Mutual funds aren´t for everyone. Personally, I wouldn´t invest in them unless I had to. For more detail on that, just do a search for where I´ve addressed this question in other answers.
However to answer your question, there are several rankings of mutual funds. Here are some of the sources with appropriate link.
Lots of sources for Mutual fund reports that you´re looking for. Here are some.

Hello,
I completely agree with wanting to invest your money. Afterall, what's the point of making money if you can't make more money with your money (got that?)? Anyway, I've tried all different investments from stocks and bonds to IRA's, 401k's, and real estate. I'm really a big fan of diversification.
However, the only investment I've really been happy with so far is real estate. Over the past 5 years, I've bought 3 different properties (all have tenants, and I'm making more than the mortgage payments on 2 properties).
The 3rd property I got was using Carleton Sheets no money down methodology (he's a GURU in real estate, and yes, his methods do work!). You can actually buy a property for absolutely nothing down (NO MONEY FROM YOUR OWN POCKET). I payed over $500 for his course 3 years ago, and I just saw it online for $9.95!!!! This is a steal at $9.95 (I'm actually going to buy it for my friends for Christmas). It was featured on TV, so I got the website from there.
Before you invest in anything, I highly suggest the Carleton sheets course. http://www.alllsite.info/real-estate.php

BTW: Consider where you're asking for investment advise. Total strangers. Be very care full. Watch out for stock tips or Real Estate get rich schemes.
