MarketWatch discusses whether people in their 50s should consider converting traditional 401(k) savings to Roth accounts, focusing on how to think about the decision when retirement is approaching.

The outlet highlights a personal experience in which a previous adviser allegedly led to a significant portion of the investor’s portfolio being lost, raising concerns about adviser selection and risk management.

The story frames the Roth conversion question as part of broader retirement planning, with an emphasis on individual circumstances and comfort with the strategy as people near retirement.
