Howard Lutz of Intercontinental Wealth Advisors Shares Professional Insights on Challenges of Family Wealth
Thought Leadership and First-Hand Experience Helps Families with Significant Means Establish Multigenerational, Values-Driven Legacies
SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Howard Lutz, Senior Vice President of Intercontinental Wealth Advisors offers caution and advice in this educational video, Family Wealth: Not Without its Challenges, recorded live at the Advisor Thought Leader Summit held Aug. 12 and 13, 2019 at Rockhurst University in Kansas City. "We work extensively with wealth creators who want to ensure that their values and resources are carried through to subsequent generations," said Lutz. "The reality is that 90 percent of family wealth is lost by the third generation. At Intercontinental, we are laser-focused on ensuring that our clients avoid that fate."
In his 15-minute Thought Leader Talk, Lutz discusses the primary issues of family wealth, including:
- Shared values
- Attitudes toward charitable giving
- Passing knowledge on to the next generations
- Preparation of children and grandchildren
- Current resources, investments and goals
He explains how the misalignment of goals across generations can create risk and provides advice to help with the challenge faced by older generations when it comes to how best to share and pass on the values that were inherent in the creation of the family's wealth.
