Woodford is a private investment group focused on special situations, growth investments and strategic opportunities.
We deploy proprietary capital into selected private and public companies and manage the resulting investments, contractual rights and related assets. Our approach combines long-term investment with active strategic involvement, particularly where businesses are undergoing growth, restructuring or transformation.
Depending on the opportunity, Woodford may invest through equity, debt or other corporate financing structures. These activities are undertaken for Woodford’s own account as principal and form part of the management of its proprietary investment portfolio.
