I see the irony as being elsewhere.

Yes, Woody "called" this, but to make 10%, 20% on his (former) housebuilders in a day or two doesn't get close to making up for c.50% losses. Start at 100, fall to 50, a 20% rise gets you back to 60. Go Woody.

The irony is the gating - as an investor, you had absolutely no choice whether to punt on the GE result, good or bad. You were gated before it was even called. And completely stuck in. And not even able to hedge (by eg shorting the housebuilders ahead of a Corbyn minority govnt) because you didn't know what WEIF still held.

My sympathy is limited as anyone with 5 minutes to spare should have been out ahead of Kent CC. But this really shouldn't be seen as "Woody was right all along".

It is ironic as Woodford was positioning himself on UK stocks on the basis that Brexit would be resolved and the UK economy would come good.

Woodford Equity Income Fund holders have lost out again, through the forced sale of their liquid holdings at awful prices. All liquid stocks sold before the UK bounces on the clear majority election result. You couldn't make it up really!

Seems winding up the unquoteds and illiquid stocks is going to be slow and painful. No surprises there

PJT ought to be doing better than that - tho some of the junk at the bottom truly is junk.

BlackRock - have they sold the housebuilders before today I wonder! FTSE up 75, no comparison to the 10-15% gains on them today.

Hundreds of thousands of investors trapped in the Woodford Equity Income Fund should get around half their money back in January, Link has announced.

The FCA has approved its plan to wind up the fund, with a final valuation of assets set to take place on Jan. 17. The first payout will be made on or around Jan. 20, it said, with the fund’s name changing to LF Equity Income Fund.

BlackRock, which is selling the more liquid assets on behalf of Link, has sold 56% of the fund, totaling 1.65 billion pounds ($2.12 billion), Link said.

BlackRock has reinvested the funds in assets including stock index and money market instruments.

However, Link added that PJT Partners, which is selling the less liquid assets, was still exploring opportunities to sell them.

Anyone want to start a new thread for "SUPP"? I don't really feel bothered, but it will be interesting to watch progress. Ideally it should be premium-moderated, I guess.

@Andy - 12 months, same rate, and the previous restrictions removed - a lot more favourable than I'd have expected.

I won't be in long however. WPCT's problems remain, not least where on earth they'll ever realise any cash to return to shareholders.

Specto,


I fully expected it would be, they didn't really have a choice did they? when you owe a £100 it's your problem, when you owe £100 million it's the bank's problem etc.

Only from EDIN - PLI keeping him it seems, Invesco too.

Interestingly, EDIN's board have gone for the very underperforming geezer at MAJE to take over. Really quite weaselly, though saving a tenth of a % on fees.

From The Times, today:

The independent board of Patient Capital picked Schroders to replace Mr Woodford’s firm in October. It is understood that the asset management group could officially assume responsibility for managing the trust this week.

To be called "Schroder UK Public Private Trust".

Exactly just can not get away from the fact that looking for quick gains involves exposing yourself to big losses and even with the best stop loss strategies you can not get away from that basic fact.

tim - yes, it takes years of experience! And also one's aims evolve. At my age I'm not interested in outperforming a rising market (it means taking on more risk) but I do want to do better than a falling market, meanwhile collecting the dividends, as you say.

Trackers are just boring: maybe in my dotage I'll have no other choice, though.

Interesting Jonwig.

I have invested for over 30 years and been on here for 20 years would like to think I have progressed beyond beginner ,have had long periods of success as well as a few big losses like many on here.These days I look for a steady performance rather than trying to make spectacular gains as I once did with options and futures.

Was no big fan of trackers always saw them as a bit of a cop out but a few years ago I did a fair bit of research over various different time periods and market conditions I found they did consistently well.With funds generally you get periods where one fund does really well but then it underperforms, often for years the Woodford fund being an extreme example.Like anything if you can spot those trends early then you could do much better than trackers but thats a big IF.The other area that came out well was investment trusts with decades of dividend growth and capital growth.

"Low cost trackers are better for beginners."

I follow closely the comments sections of FT articles, and if any single idea can be taken away, it's that these are the chosen homes for City professionals.

Maybe a dozen or so posters here would disagree: a a private investor with experience and a bit of aptitude can avoid the landmines, such as Woodford.

But a comment form someone that "A man must know his limitations" needs to be set against his claim on the previous thread:

careful - 10 Oct 2019 - 09:21:54 - 10598 of 11151
70% discount to net assets, how tempting is that.
irresistible for a shrewed long term patient investor.

Not all beginners progress to the next stage.

'A man must know his limitations.'



Compared with the equity income sector the FTSE index has outperformed over the last 3, 5 and 10 year time periods.
