In 1985, the Stuart family sold Carnation to Nestle, the Swiss-based global food giant.
Today, Lucas is Chairman of Wealth Strategist Partners LLC, an investment advisory firm that provides an outsourced Chief Investment Officer service for individuals and families (including his own) of significant net worth. An accomplished speaker and educator, Lucas designed and teaches the Private Wealth Management program, exclusively for wealth owners, at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

During the 1980s, Lucas worked for Wellington Management Company, serving for three years as General Manager of the firm’s European business operations and before that as Assistant Portfolio Manager of a Forbes Honor Roll mutual fund.

The Definitive Guide to Strategic Wealth Management: Completely Updated for Today’s Realities--Financial and Personal
- Help your descendants flourish and sustain family wealth across generations
- For everyone who has inherited wealth, created wealth, or aspires to wealth
Lucas helps you take charge of your family’s investment process; hold advisors accountable; control spending; and plan taxes, estates, and philanthropy. But this plain-spoken book covers far more than money. Drawing on his work with hundreds of wealthy individuals, Lucas helps you build a flourishing family culture: one that inspires your descendants to remain productive, useful, and fulfilled.
Stuart Lucas’s Wealth has proven itself as the world’s most valuable guide to wealth management for individuals, families, business owners, and the “upwardly affluent.” Now, Lucas has extensively revised Wealth to fully reflect the recent dramatic changes in the financial world in order to help even more people protect and grow their wealth.
Singularly well positioned to write this book, Lucas is an heir to the Carnation Company fortune and is Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of Wealth Strategist Partners. As designer and leader of the University of Chicago’s Private Wealth Management program, he has taught more than 500 members of the world’s wealthiest families how to manage their family enterprises through challenging times.
Wealth highlights the key drivers that help family enterprises substantially improve the odds of success. Lucas offers up-to-date, sage advice on integrating business and family, taking charge of your investment process, and evaluating “expert” advice with confidence and appropriate skepticism. In plain language, he explains how the interplay of spending, tax, estate planning, philanthropy, and investing can help you achieve a prudent mix of growth and spending for your lifetime, even multiple generations.
Recognizing the crucial importance of developing family “human capital,” this new edition of Wealth includes robust and actionable guidance for building a culture that encourages each family member to flourish, while reinforcing shared family values.

Maximize the odds of achieving financial security and growth after fees and taxes

Leverage success and stability to overcome conflict and strengthen your family system
