The Woodford Scandal; and why it really matters…

This event has now taken place

When

Tuesday, April 5th, 12pm to 1.30pm UK time.

Where

Online symposium via Zoom.

Format

There'll be a great line-up of speakers plus ample scope for discussion and debate.

Why you should attend...

There has been much talk and many pages written about the Woodford scandal.

 

It’s a scandal that centres around a rockstar fund manager’s fall from grace; a scandal that leads to life-changing financial losses that have shattered the lives of thousands of investors; a scandal that has rocked the investment world and the regulatory framework that’s supposed to govern it. 

 

The purpose of this event is to deal with 4 key questions: 

 

      #1 – What happened?

      #2 – Who’s to blame for what happened?

      #3 – How might the thousands of victims get the justice and compensation they deserve?

      #4 – What changes are needed to help ensure that nothing like it ever happens again?

 

The speaker line-up includes: 

 

  • Mark Bishop, Leader, Connaught Action Group

  • Meriel Hodgson-Teall, Associate Solicitor at the law firm Leigh Day, who is working on the case

  • Owen Walker, Journalist at the FT and author of “Built on a Lie: The Rise and Fall of Neil Woodford and the Fate of Middle England’s Money”

  • Sunil Chadda, Project Manager at Punter Southall Analytics

 

Our speakers will bring to life what has been Europe’s biggest investment scandal for over a decade; and that’s saying something!

 

Here’s some recent media coverage about the scandal:

Calls grow for FCA to end “deafening silence” as Woodford update “adds insult to injury”
