Never has it been more important to read Wealth: Grow It, Protect It, Spend It, and Share It. More of us have created more wealth today than ever before; managing our retirement assets is increasingly our own responsibility; and America is bracing for the largest intergenerational transfer of wealth in history. Added to this are the recent financial scandals which have left us confused about who to trust for good investment and wealth management advice. And because most advisors are specialists, the critical task of integrating the varied aspects of wealth management falls on our shoulders. Written by Stuart Lucas, an experienced investment professional, Carnation Company heir, and now manager of his family’s fortune, Wealth:
• Helps you to ntegrate the financial and family aspects of wealth management into an actionable, coherent whole;
• Provides the tools and information you need to take charge of your wealth, so that your advisors and your money are working toward achieving your goals;
• Addresses family relationships and values, preparing your children for affluence, the motives of advisors, spending, philanthropy, taxes, estate planning, investment strategies, and more.
In short, Wealth is the definitive guide to optimizing your financial future. The lessons of Wealth apply whether you have $100,000 or $100,000,000, whether your goal is to safeguard assets to last your lifetime or to create a financial legacy that will continue for generations.

Understanding Family Wealth and Managing It Effectively, By
This review is from: Wealth: Grow It, Protect It, Spend It, and Share It (Hardcover)
Everyone dreams of financial ease. It turns out that living with ease takes a great deal of work, dsicipline, and planning. We all hope that we will be able to accumulate enough financial resources to not only take care of our old age, but to provide some things for our children. If our dreams are ambitious we want to accumulate enough resources to change the trajectory of our family's ensuing generations.We have all heard sad stories of people who attain sudden wealth and how it ends up destroying their lives. Other fortunes that have taken a lifetime of toil to build are quickly lost through any number of mistakes.

Much of this is due to inexperience and a complete lack of a financial education. Fortunately, the path of the wealthy has been trod by many and what works is well known.

This review is from: Wealth: Grow It, Protect It, Spend It, and Share It (Hardcover)
This is mainly about asset management. With the plethora of pieces put out on how to "make wealth," here is advice on how to maintain and preserve it. How assets are managed affects the other aspects of people's lives. "Wealth: Grow it, Protect it, Share it, Spend it," is written for a small audience. But due to coming demographical changes this audience may increase (albeit slightly) in the coming decades.Lucas's work and efforts in this book will help those who need it. This author was willing to share his positive approach, experience, and expertise with the public. He was born to money, being a descendant and heir of the carnation company. This is also a book from a financial manager who has experience and is currently involved in several organizations. The focus is for those in wealthy families understandably, with the orientation obviously toward families with significant amounts of assets. This will likely become a more common field of expertise in... Read more |
