Woodford Patient Capital Trust

Woodford Patient Capital Trust operates as a publicly listed investment vehicle, dedicated to long-term capital appreciation through early-stage and growth companies, predominantly within the United Kingdom. It focuses on unlisted and illiquid assets, embodying a "patient capital" philosophy to support innovative businesses over extended periods, thereby unlocking value in promising enterprises.

The trust was established in 2015 by Neil Woodford, a prominent fund manager. His founding insight addressed a market gap for patient capital, enabling innovative UK companies to mature and scale without premature pressure for short-term returns, reflecting his long-standing investment philosophy.

Its offering targets investors seeking exposure to a diversified portfolio of high-growth potential businesses, particularly those not yet accessible via mainstream public markets. The trust's vision is to be a crucial funding partner for emerging UK innovators, providing the stable capital base required to foster significant advancements and deliver substantial long-term returns.
