UK-based wealth manager Tavistock Investments has entered into a strategic agreement with Lighthouse Group to form a new investment management business.
Under the new initiative, the partners will develop and distribute investment products under Lighthouse’s Luceo brand.
The new venture’s product portfolio will include Tavistock’s capital protection products and may be further extended to include Tavistock’s model portfolio service and other investment solutions.
Currently, Lighthouse Group is said to have nearly £5bn of assets under advice and places around £1bn of new investment and pension fund investments on behalf of clients annually.
Lighthouse CEO Malcolm Streatfield said: “Tavistock has demonstrated its ability to establish an investment management business of scale since its inception in 2014 and I am delighted that we will be working together to develop additional high-quality investment solutions for the benefit of our mutual client bases.
“I believe that this will be the start of a successful working relationship between Lighthouse and Tavistock.”
