I can’t see the Woodford: The fees!
Here at the lang cat port authority we’ve been receiving quite a few questions on the much hyped forthcoming Woodford fund launch. What’s the cheapest platform on which investors can access the fund? Who’s secured superclean terms? If a provider doesn’t secure preferential terms, does it really matter? Our answer, rather disappointingly I imagine, is: […]
