The Woodford Campaign Group is for investors that have lost money as a result of the Woodford scandal.

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 has led 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 the Woodford Campaign Group is to get full answers to 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?

Frequently asked questions

No – our group meetings are free to attend.

No – you can be involved as much or as little as you want

We are always seeking to build consensus around our North Star Question which is “What is best for the consumer?”

No – we welcome and want a wide range of views; you’ll be free to “say it as you see it”

We have monthly Zoom meetings for some of our Groups that last just 1 hour, so it’s not too onerous at all. Furthermore, there is no need for you to make every meeting, just those that are convenient for you. 

Other Group meetings will take place by special arrangement.

Each of the Groups has one or more campaign objective. If you want to be involved in helping to drive a particular campaign forward you can; but there is no compulsion to do so. 

Yes you can. We would hope that as time went by you would want to participate in our activity but there is no compulsion for you to do so

Generally speaking we follow these steps; always building consensus through frank and open discussion as we go and always seeking to work together in a constructive, cooperative and collaborative manner:

  • Step 1: We identify a part of the financial services sector that we believe could function in a better way for the consumer
  • Step 2: We reach out to people with subject-matter expertise in that particular part of the market who might be keen to work collaboratively with others to help improve the way that part of the market functions

  • Step 3: We organise and mobilise the volunteers into a solution-orientated Group

  • Step 4: We facilitate the development of the Group’s objectives and a pragmatic campaign strategy to achieve those objectives

  • Step 5: We liaise with relevent members of the press, regulators, parliamentarians, government officials, leading academics, thought leaders and so on to create supportive engagement, analysis and insight

  • Step 6: We implement the campaign strategy, which is normally a combination of activities such as research, producing White Papers, running Thought Leadership events, responding to consultations, holding meetings with key decision-makers and influencers, raising awareness through the press and so on

  • Step 7: We continue to facilitate the ongoing development of the Group’s work

Yes, please do. The TTF has grown by word of mouth so we would appreciate you doing whatever you can to let people you know have a chance to get involved. Please forward them a link to this web page so they can read about what we are doing and decide for themselves if they want to be included.
