Woodford and Newman earned £13.8m in dividends in year before collapse

Woodford and his business partner have taken £112m from the business since its inception in 2014

Neil Woodford, the former star fund manager whose investment firm collapsed late last year, earned around £13.8m in dividends alongside his business partner in its final full year of operation.

The figure, disclosed in accounts for the 12 months to 31 March 2019, brings the total Woodford and Craig Newman have earned from the business to £111.5m since its foundation in 2014. The accounts cover the period up to shortly before Woodford’s fund was suspended in June.
