New affinity contract win
Lighthouse Group plc (AIM: LGT), the national financial adviser
of choice for Middle Britain, is pleased to announce that it has
agreed a new contract with the Public and Commercial Services Union
("PCS") to be the preferred provider of expert mortgage advice to
its members for an initial period of twelve months.
PCS is the UK's largest civil service union and represents a
membership of 180,000 civil servants.
This new contract extends the current contract with PCS to
provide their members with financial advice. It brings the number
of affinity partners that have appointed Lighthouse as their
preferred provider of mortgage and protection services to their
members to twelve, including Unite, the Royal College of Nurses,
Boundless, by CSMA, ATL, the Association of School and College
Leaders and the University and College Union.
Steven Foster from PCS Membership Benefits commented:
"Lighthouse Financial Advice provides our members with sound
financial advice as part of an all-round professional service. They
offer a broad range of products and their advisers are both
approachable and knowledgeable."
Malcolm Streatfield, Chief Executive Officer of Lighthouse Group
plc, commented: "The Board of Lighthouse are delighted to have
secured this partnership with PCS. We look forward to developing
our relationship over the coming months and working closely with
PCS members to assist them with their mortgage and borrowing
requirements.
"The Board remains committed to increasing our affinity
partnerships throughout the UK".

About Lighthouse Group plc
Lighthouse has been listed on AIM since 2000 as an integrated
financial services company for investors, coupled with significant
scale in terms of distribution through financial advisers and
wealth managers and its fully diversified business model.
As one of the UK's largest autonomous financial advice and
wealth management groups, Lighthouse provides a comprehensive range
of services to businesses and individuals and is retained by most
of the major trades unions and other affinity groups to advise
their combined memberships of over 6 million members.
The Group aims to increase its relationships with, and the
benefits it derives from, its relationships with affinity groups
and professional partners.
In addition to a wide range of financial advice, the Group has
developed innovative products to meet the specific needs of its
retail and corporate customers. These comprise:
Luceo Asset Management, launched in September 2016 to provide a
range of investment solutions to retail investors. The initial five
solutions comprise multi-manager, fund of fund, investment
portfolios matching to customers' agreed risk profiles, with
Octopus Investments Limited as the initial Investment Adviser. The
Luceo Fund range is available across a number of leading platforms,
including the Lighthouse Zurich Platform provided in partnership
with Zurich; and
The Lighthouse Pensions and Life Trusts, unbundled
multi-employer Master Trust products that provide cost-effective
and one-stop shop solutions for small- and medium- sized
enterprises ("SMEs"), to meet their obligations to establish
auto-enrolment compliant pension schemes for their employees by 31

death-in-service life assurance cover for all of their employees
aged between 16 and 65, for the same cost per benefit, at very
competitive rates, regardless of age, gender, location or
pre-existing medical conditions.

having principal operating offices in Stockport and Woodingdean,
near Brighton.
