Morningstar has released ratings changes for several key mutual funds used to fund retirement.

Morningstar rates mutual funds on their ability to outperform markets on a risk-adjusted basis over the long term. The Chicago-based firm has five tiers to their rating: three positive ratings, called the Morningstar Medalists (Gold, Silver and Bronze), and a neutral and negative rating.
