Neil Woodford was the UK-s most celebrated fund manager. Savers who invested -1,000 with him in 1988 saw their money increase to -25,000 over 25 years. At the peak of his career he was managing -33 billion for hundreds of thousands of investors.
When he started his own fund management company in 2014, within just a few weeks it had attracted -5bn from his loyal fan base, including some of the City of London-s biggest hitters. Life was good. Away from work he was collecting high-performance supercars and chunky designer watches; he was rarely out of the saddle of his favourite horse.
