WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 2, 2019 / LGBTQ Loyalty Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK:LFAP) ("LGBTQ Loyalty" or "the Company"), a financial methodology and media company that quantifies corporate equality alignment with the LGBTQ community, announced today new details ahead of the launch of its anticipated methodology Index. In collaboration with big data analytics company, Fuzzy Logix, the Company has secured the ticker symbol LGBTQ100 -- a benchmark LGBTQ index to be listed on Thomson Reuters, New York Stock Exchange and the Bloomberg Terminal. The official launch listings are scheduled for late October 2019, following the completion of the LGBTQ adult survey currently being administered nationwide by The Harris Poll as part of an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) methodology process for the Company's anticipated LGBTQ100 Index launch.
"LGBTQ100 is one of those examples where socially responsible investing also delivers market outperformance," commented Aashu Virmani, EVP of Sales and Marketing at Fuzzy Logix. "With the right combination of fundamental and ESG metrics, arrived at through deep analytics, this methodology will allow people to invest with their values, and seek alpha at the same time. Bottom line is that equality pays, as we have learned through this process," he added.
"We're grateful to our financial analyst firm, Fuzzy Logix, who have been integral in the development of this first-ever U.S. preference index as it nears an official launch into the North American marketplace," said Bobby Blair, CEO of LGBTQ Loyalty. "Based on our research, we envision this index will fundamentally move forward economic and social impact investing," he added.
The LGBTQ Preference Index methodology is the first U.S. index to survey a representative group of LGBTQ adults to determine the nation's best performing corporations dedicated to advancing equality. LGBTQ Loyalty board member former U.S. Congressman Barney Frank added, "Giving LGBTQ people, and our friends and allies a chance to put their money where their hearts and mouths are is a very important next step in the fight for full equality."

Noted as a long-serving and senior member of congress from 1981-2013, Barney served as Chair of the House Financial Services Committee from 2007-2010 and is prominently known as co-author of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (signed into law, July 2010). An author, professor and political advocate since the 1960's, Congressman Frank is also recognized as the first member of congress to acknowledge his gay identity, which he announced voluntarily in 1987.
"Having Barney Frank, a financial policy and community advocate, sharing his support in this video along with his service as board of director is a privilege and testament to the level of impact we envision achieving at LGBTQ Loyalty to advance equality," said Bobby Blair, CEO.
LGBTQ Loyalty is expected to announce more details on index-related company milestones in Q4 2019.
