Fidelity is one of the most iconic names on Wall Street, and Fidelity mutual funds are among the most respected investment vehicles on the planet.

The asset manager, established just after World War II, was one of the early leaders in the employer-led retirement plan space after the 401(k) made its debut roughly 40 years ago.

Chances are you've owned a Fidelity product in some account or another across your investing life.

When it comes to picking the best Fidelity mutual funds, there's no universal answer to which option is at the top of the list.

Investing always involves a level of personalization based on your risk profile, your time horizon and how much capital you have to invest.

That said, there are two general principles that can quickly separate the good from the bad. They include:

An established and liquid fund: Each of the mutual funds on this list has a minimum of $8 billion in assets under management, so they're likely not going anywhere anytime soon.

Reasonable fees: Mutual funds tend to be more expensive than exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, because of regulatory and record-keeping costs. The best Fidelity mutual funds have no additional transaction fees, and some have expense ratios as low as many of the best cheap ETFs.

The following options are among the best Fidelity mutual funds because they satisfy both standards. And there is no minimum to invest in any of the funds listed here.

You should always do your own research and make sure you're investing based on what's best for your personal situation.

These nine investments all are standouts that might work for you if you're looking for the best Fidelity mutual funds right now.
