I thought I had read that Woodford Patient Capital Trust is being rejected from the FTSE 250 but I haven't been able to find out where it will go from there. Anyone?

You weren't imagining it.

It remains part of the All-Share Index and also presumably joins the Small-Cap Index..

Thanks, Alaric. I wonder whether this trust will ever recover. Up a trifle today but still over 50% off my purchase price.

Who knows. At the end of the day if you believe that the assets are reliably priced by the trust, then this represents a massive bargain.

Having read in the annual report how NAV is calculated and updated, i’ve decided it’s worth investing at the current price, and aim to hold until the discount to NAv narrows, which could either be obtained by a rising SP, or a falling NAV!

Best of luck with that. I don't think I have the courage to add.
