    Will investors benefit from Woodford being axed and what happens next?

    Will investors benefit from Woodford being axed and what happens next?
    Neil Woodford's Equity Income Fund, which has locked in investors' money since June, will never reopen – the star fund manager has seen his empire toppled.

    Editor Simon Lambert, assistant editor Lee Boyce and host Georgie Frost, ask: what is next for investors and what lessons will be learnt?

    We also talk about where it went wrong and what it could mean for the investment industry.

    Elsewhere, we reveal what makes a 'comfortable' retirement – and what changes you can make to ensure that you are doing enough to secure one.

    We reveal whether you can find rare quarters from the US in your change while visiting.

    Meanwhile, a reader asks whether they need to come clean to their car insurer as they're about to tick over the mileage they quoted when they started their annual policy.

    What have we learnt from the Woodford fiasco - and will anything change?

    What have we learnt from the Woodford fiasco - and will anything change?
    t’s been more than a month since Britain’s most high profile fund manager Neil Woodford was embarrassingly forced to close the doors to his flagship fund.

    Since then, investors have been unable to sell out and this week - after the first 28 days of closure rolled round - Woodford Equity Income locked savers in for another four weeks.

    Over the past month, Woodford, his business, its associates and the entire fund management industry have been thrown under the spotlight, but ultimately, will all this fuss and fiasco make any difference?

    On this week’s podcast, Simon Lambert, Georgie Frost and Alex Sebastian look at what next for the investment world, what has changed and whether once the noise dies down it will simply be back to business as usual.

    Can we learn anything from the Woodford mess?

    Are there other investments we should be looking at?

    Is this just another reason to ditch active management for passive funds?

    Will we still continue to love our star managers?

    All this and more comes under the microscope, as the team look to Woodford and beyond and consider the business of making money from making other people’s money.
