Fidelity Contrafund (MUTF: FCNTX ), despite its generally positive reputation, represents a risk that retirees cannot afford to take in the opinion of Seeking Alpha contributor Eric Nelson, an advisor with Servo Wealth Management. The essential problem is that retirees have just one chance to get it right, and can’t afford the risks of style drift or underperformance that any active manager presents.
