The Financial Conduct Authority has issued a warning notice against former star manager Neil Woodford, nearly five years after his fund collapsed, for failing to address liquidity concerns.

Woodford had a “defective and unreasonably narrow understanding of his responsibilities for managing liquidity risks”, according to a warning notice issued by the watchdog on 11 April.
