Trading Update and Notice of Results

 

Lighthouse Group plc (AIM: LGT), the national financial advisory group, is pleased to provide a trading update for the six months ended 30 June 2017.

 

The Group, which is the preferred financial adviser to 19 affinity partners with a combined membership of more than 6 million individuals, has continued to trade positively in the first half of 2017, in line with management's expectations and significantly ahead of the comparator period for the six months ended 30 June 2016. Gross revenues and adviser productivity benefited from the Group's affinity relationships and from the increasing focus on the benefits of pensions freedom and flexibility by individuals and corporates within the UK.

 

Assets under management sponsored by Luceo Asset Management Limited, the Group's wholly-owned subsidiary, increased from £8 million to over £20 million with investment flows now approaching £1 million per week. The Board expects this to increase further as the year develops and with the launch of additional products later in the year.

 

The Group continues to maintain a strong balance sheet and the Financial Conduct Authority has recently agreed to remove the capital asset restrictions imposed in 2012 at the height of the Arch cru and Keydata product issues within the UK Financial Services market. This underlines the progress made in recent years. Net cash at 30 June 2017 amounted to £8.1 million (30 June 2016: £7.5 million).

 

The Board is pleased with trading to date in 2017 and is confident of further progress over the remainder of the year.

 

Lighthouse Group will be announcing its half year results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017, on 5 September 2017.
