<https://www.letsassemble.com/money-manager-research/newfound-research-llc>[Tactical money manager Newfound Research](https://www.letsassemble.com/money-manager-research/newfound-research-llc) explains why portfolio drawdowns become more damaging as retirement nears and makes the case that baby boomers need a risk managed solution when it comes to investing.

“When we think about retirement specifically, many people’s savings are extremely back-loaded. The years leading up to retirement tend to be when a person has the most earning potential and can put the most money to work in their investment portfolio. As a result, [drawdowns that occur closer to retirement](http://www.wrapmanager.com/wealth-management-blog/make-your-retirement-savings-last-avoid-increasing-withdrawal-rates) can be significantly more devastating than drawdowns that occur earlier in a person’s career.”
