Yesterday was, apparently, a big day in that Boris Johnson’s Brexit plans made it into the Euro-tunnel for negotiations. The UK markets went into a buying frenzy as suddenly the world is going to be saved. Thus the FTSE100 put on 0.8%, the FTSE All-Share (Neil Woodford’s benchmark for his Equity Income and Income Focus funds) put on a slightly more impressive 1.37% and the FTSE 250 raced away by 4.19%. Meanwhile Woodford’s unit trusts put on 4.27% (Equity Income) and 5.07% (Income Focus) in NAV per unit. All hail hero Boris.
