Schroder UK Private Public Trust (ex-WPCT) – FY Numbers And An Attack Of BSE

Schroder UK Public Private Trust (SUPP) – the former Woodford Patient Trust (WPCT) announced its results for full year 2022 on Monday. The news was not good and it seems that the answer is to cut its ties with every adviser, change its name and blame Woodford (not unfairly, in my humble opinion, if rather late in the day). I covered the other Monty Python style nonsense HERE but this is what struck  me about the results.

DISGRACE: SUPP (Former WPCT) Results - The End Of An Error As History (Disgracefully) Repeats And Butterfingers Resigns (Or Was He Pushed?)

You just couldn’t make this up. Even Monty Python would struggle to think of this one! Yesterday’s full year results statement from Schroder UK Public Private Trust (SUPP – and ex- the Woodford Patient Capital Trust, WPCT) is a hoot as the Ouzo Beckons in large quantity for me. This all relates to the appointment, in the wake of Woodford, of one Raymond Abbott to the Board of (then) WPCT by the then Chair, Susan Searle. A good read of THIS will fill in all the details…..indeed, I would modestly suggest that it is vital to understand what follows, as I asked then whether he really was a safe pair of hands or just Butterfingers.

Schroder UK Public Private Trust (Former Woodford Patient Capital) – 2021 Results And Why The Shares Have Much Further To Fall

The Schroder UK Public Private Trust (SUPP) (formerly Woodford Patient Capital Trust, WPCT) announced its full year results for calendar 2021 on Thursday. The headline was that NAV was, after the company’s three-monthly recalculation with regard to its unlisted dross, 48.08p – strongly up from 35p at FY20. So good news?

Schroder UK Public Private Trust (formerly WPCT) – Annual Report: Monster write-downs but still a Bargepole

Schroder UK Public Private Trust (SUPP) – formerly Neil Woodford’s Patient Capital Trust (WPCT) has released its Annual Report for FY20 and the shocking write-downs are all too apparent, although no surprise to ShareProphets as we warned of this all along. The good news is that the gearing has been paid off and the company now finds itself with over 3% cash now that investee Kymab has been sold. But the red ink is everywhere, and led to another severe drop in NAV as write-down after write-down took their toll.

Schroder UK Public Private Trust – formerly WPCT – Shocking Revaluation as Reality Begins to Bite at Rutherford

Schroder UK Public Private Trust (SUPP) – formerly Neil Woodford’s Patient Capital Trust (WPCT) – slipped out a new but unaudited net asset value statement yesterday at 3.32pm and it was shocking: it wiped another 20% off the previously stated NAV to bring the official figure down to just 35.01p per share. That, against the fantasy 89.07p when the flagship Woodford fund, Woodford Equity Income, was gated on 3 June 2019.

Schroder UK Public Private Trust (Woodford’s WPCT) completes asset sale to Rosetta Capital: shareholders screwed again

Neil Woodford’s shambolic Patient Capital Trust (WPCT) – now Schroder UK Public Private Trust (SUPP) after Woodford’s disgrace – has announced the completion of an asset sale to bring in £52.9 million. In theory this is good news, but since the original sale was announced as being at a 19% discount and the vast majority of the cash is being used to part-pay the bank there really isn’t much to celebrate for shareholders.

SUPP

Former Woodford Patient Capital Trust, now Schroder UK Public Private Trust agrees massively discounted asset sale. How can NAV be believed?

Schroder UK Public Private Trust (SUPP) – the former Woodford Patient Capital Trust has today announced the sale of seven assets for a total of £51.9 million. Well done, you might say – until you read that this represents as discount of some 19% to the forex adjusted (as at 25 January) valuations as at 30 September 2020. Not so hot, all of a sudden.

SUPP

Former WPCT, Schroder UK Public Private Trust writes down £14m Ombu Investment to just £4m following transfer

Oh dear, oh dear. Neil Woodford’s former Woodford Patient Capital Trust (WPCT) now under new management as Schroder UK Public Private Trust (SUPP) has announced this morning a 71% hit to its investment in Ombu, knocking £10 million off NAV. This follows the acquisition of Ombu by HP Environmental Technologies Fund (HPET), in which SUPP now has a stake.

SUPP (former WPCT): Former Woodford Equity Income Fund dumps entire stake

In its FY19 report and accounts, Schroder UK Public Private Trust (SUPP) – the former Woodford Patient Capital (WPCT) announced a NAV per share of 49.46p per share. With a hotchpotch of cash-guzzling investments, no income and an almighty overdraft, even before the impact of Covid-19 it was clear there would be casualties to come, and it largest holding was the joke that is Rutherford Health (RUTH) whose valuation is clearly absurd and only supported by Neil Woodford’s policy of overpaying, it was clear to us at ShareProphets that the stated NAV was a total fiction. Now the former Woodford Equity Income Fund (WEIF) has dumped its entire stake.

SUPP

I kid you not Schroders thinks the former WPCT medium risk although it admits investors are CERTAIN to lose money!

This is an amaingly honest yet utterly dishonest admission from Schroders which managesthe  Schroders UK Public Private Trust (SUPP), the dog formerly known as the Woodford Patient Capital Trust (WPCT).  It is also a damning indictment of the disgraced Neil Woodford. Schroders has published a new Key Information Document, a KID.

SUPP

Former WPCT, now Schroder UK Public Private Trust January update: gearing down (just) but at what cost as investors await another round of Red Pen

Neil Woodford’s former Patient Capital Fund, now in the hands of Schroder under its new name (but not new performance!) Schroder UK Public Private Trust (SUPP) has released the January month-end update. Not as delayed at the 2019 year-end update which took almost two full months to appear), this is still remarkably late and it is easy to see why.

SUPP

Woodford Patient Capital Trust as was, year end data finally out and its diabolical & unreal

For all the chatter from certain City folks with degrees in Chemistry, and others, about how a new name and a new management team would transform the fortunes of the Woodford Patient Capital Trust (WPCT), the belated release of the December 31 2019 factsheet shows what a diabolical mess the vehicle now known as the Schroders UK Public Private Trust (SUPP) is in. Is it beyond redemption? Have the City establishment stopped pretending yet?

SUPP

Link in the frame as the shadow of Neil Woodford still looms over his old Patient Capital fund

The shadow of disgraced fund manager Neil Woodford still overhangs the Woodford Patient Capital Trust (WPCT), now renamed Schroder UK Public Private Trust (SUPP), as a line in the sand approaches fast. Of course, the same applies to Link which still seems to be the formal fund manager which appears to have been happy to sign off on any old rubbish to bolster the fund’s official NAV.

ECOB reminds me of OPTI (although the scale of announcements are far greater and have actual numbers attached). I've viewed both businesses as having a interesting product and plausible business model but neither have actually delivered on that.How is ECOB picking up these contracts? They are so diverse, both geographically and it terms of languages spoken etc - where is the common thread that enables them to deliver these? It doesn't strike me that they would likely have a expansive international sales operation.I'd be a lot more comfortable if they were getting more projects off ground in Albania and the wider Balkan region as they would be able to technically and operationally serve such projects much more easily and really prove out the product.
