Timeline

1960

Neil Russell Woodford CBE (born March 1960) is a former fund manager and the founding partner of the defunct Woodford Investment Management.

Woodford was born in March 1960.

He was brought up in Berkshire and attended Maidenhead Grammar School.

His father was a printer.

1981

He graduated in Economics and Agricultural Economics from the University of Exeter in 1981.

Woodford began his career with the Reed Pension Fund and TSB.

1987

In 1987 he became a fund manager with Eagle Star, then moved to Invesco Perpetual in 1988.

He has also pursued postgraduate studies in Finance at the London Business School.

Woodford ran the Invesco Perpetual Income, and Invesco Perpetual High Income funds, with respectively £10.36 billion and £13.64 billion in assets.

1990

Woodford gained a reputation as Britain’s best fund manager during his 25 years at Invesco, where he avoided the worst effects of the 1990s dot-com bubble and the 2008 financial crisis.

He regarded himself as an active, long-term investor, holding shares for an average of about 15 years.

2012

Woodford was vocal over the 2012 proposed merger between British defence company BAE Systems and EADS, the European aerospace group, warning that unless there was a “substantial change” in BAE’s strategy, Invesco would have to consider “all options open to us”.

2013

In June 2013, in the 2013 Birthday Honours, Woodford was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for services to the economy.

2014

In April 2014, Woodford left his role as head of UK equities at Invesco Perpetual to set up Woodford Investment Management LLP.

2015

In April 2015, he launched Woodford Patient Capital Trust, a listed investment trust.

2016

In July 2016, he was awarded an honorary fellowship by the London Business School.

2017

Woodford Investment Management launched a second Equity Income Fund in April 2017, LF Woodford Income Focus.

Woodford owned 29% of the ill-fated Utilitywise.

2019

In March 2019, after two years of poor performance during which fund assets contracted by more than £5 billion, the Sunday Times carried out an investigation into the fund.

It found the fund held less than 20% of assets in FTSE 100 companies compared to over 50% when it was created, and over 20% of assets were in small Alternative Investment Market companies.

On 4 June 2019 trading in Woodford Investment Management’s largest fund (the Woodford Equity Income fund) was suspended.

There had been large withdrawals of funds by many investors.

Following this, St. James's Place plc terminated Woodford's contract to manage three of its funds, valued at £3.5 billion.

The FCA has launched a formal investigation into the suspension.

A Woodford spokesperson said: “We can confirm we have been contacted by the FCA, regarding its investigation relating to the events that led to the suspension … and will be co-operating fully with its investigation.”

On 15 October 2019 the fund board announced that Woodford's flagship fund, Woodford Equity Income Fund, was to be shut down and Woodford had been removed as investment manager.

The following day Woodford announced he would resign from his remaining investment funds and close his investment company in an orderly fashion.

On 3 June 2022, a case was filed against the fund's administrators Link Fund Solutions, claiming that they failed to properly supervise the investments.

Woodford's second marriage is with Madelaine White; they have two children.

Woodford lives in Dorset with a second home in Salcombe.

Woodford and his wife are keen horse riders and amateur showjumpers.
