I've been a big fan of Neil Woodford for 25+ years, and done very well out of his unit trusts. See the chart in the article where he's returned close to 2863 % in around 29 years compared to just over 1037% on the FTSE All Share index
He's launching a new fund which would likely suit certain people looking for income from equities.
I think it also plays to his strengths of UK equity income investing - unlike Woodford Capital investment trust, where he seems to have strayed from his core skill sets, for now at least
Suits my stage of life and what I'm looking for at the moment.
Worth a look...
================================================
New: CF Woodford Income Focus Fund
Overview
Neil Woodford’s new CF Woodford Income Focus Fund has a primary aim of generating a high income that will grow over time. It also has the potential to provide some capital growth.
The manager will seek to provide income of 5p per share per annum once the fund is fully up and running (the launch price is £1 per share). However, with new funds it can take time for income to build so investors will need to be patient while the income record is established. Remember there are no guarantees any specific level of dividend will be achieved.
What can you expect from the fund?
To deliver a high income Neil Woodford will invest in a range of larger, predominantly UK-based, high-yielding companies; some of these will be companies he has invested in for many years. The portfolio will be relatively concentrated, consisting of approximately 50 companies, allowing each investment to contribute significantly to performance, though this approach increases risk. He also has the flexibility to invest in companies of all sizes, including higher risk smaller companies.
