The spectacular demise of the Woodford Equity Income Fund (WEIF) in 2019 has left investors short of billions of pounds. RGL Management has already filed an initial tranche of claims in The High Court on behalf of thousands of investors who suffered significant losses as a result of the WEIF’s collapse.
The RGL legal team has concluded that there is a strong case, not only against Link Fund Solutions (Link), which was the Authorised Corporate Director (ACD) of the WEIF, but also against Hargreaves Lansdown, the UK-based investment platform, for continuing to recommend investing in the Woodford fund even though it appears they knew of liquidity issues in the WEIF from November 2017.
You can still join the action if you lost money due to the Woodford collapse. Register your interest to join the case here.

Who is eligible to claim?
Anyone who invested in the Woodford Equity Income Fund is able to register with RGL as part of RGL Woodford Group Litigation.
Some investors may believe their case is not worth pursuing due to only investing a small amount. Rest assured, all claims are being looked at and assessed, regardless of the amount, when building the legal action.
What compensation are you entitled to?
Investors could be entitled to legal damages in respect of losses suffered after the Woodford Fund, managed by Neil Woodford, was suspended in June 2019 and subsequently wound up. These developments prevented investors from withdrawing their funds, resulting in billions of pounds of losses.
There will be claims for losses sustained directly as a result of the collapse of the Woodford Fund and also for “loss of opportunity” losses, suffered through missing out on alternative investments that, in stark contrast to the Woodford Fund, would have generated returns.
RGL offers market-leading deductions
RGL’s group action is the only one filing claims against Hargreaves Lansdown as well as Link, but we’re also in a position to offer the lowest deduction from gross proceeds – and only from a successful claim.

What is RGL investigating?

Will I recover my investment in the Woodford Fund?
RGL’s goal is to ensure those who invested in the Woodford Fund recover the compensation they deserve.
The views of a highly eminent QC from top chambers, One Essex Court, have been sought and the counsel’s conclusions are very promising from the perspective of investors. Legal causes of action of real substantive merit are available that, if proven, would entitle a reimbursement of losses suffered.
Teaming up with commercial litigation solicitors, Wallace LLP, a significant amount of work has been undertaken to assess the potential range of claims and compensation available to WEIF investors. This includes a legal analysis of the duties of Link as the Authorised Corporate Director (ACD) of the WEIF, and also of the information provided to investors in the WEIF through Hargreaves Lansdown’s Wealth 50 and, its precursor, the Wealth 150.
As a result of this work, the first claims have already been filed in Court.
