Will I outlive my money? Will my spouse be secure if I die? Will I be able to leave a legacy to my children?

If you’re in the Red Zone—those years between age 50 and retirement—these questions are almost certainly on your mind. But getting a straight answer to them is harder than it should be because the financial services industry is failing the people it’s intended to serve: People like you!

You’ve worked hard and taken risks to create the nest egg you’re counting on to support you in retirement. But how you manage that money going forward is even more important than it was before, because once you’re in the Red Zone you don’t have the same amount of time to make up those losses. How can you better avoid the pitfalls that can derail your retirement security? How can you try to lower your investment risk without sacrificing income and growth? How can you choose the best financial advisor for where you are in your financial life today?

Victory Lap pulls back the curtain on how the industry is run, to help you understand what’s available to you, and to educate you so that, no matter who your advisor is, you know what questions to ask them to be sure they are serving your best interests—and not the other way around.
