I have one question, is a fund like Woodford Equity Income Fund as
mentioned the same as an ETF, Exchange Traded Fund, as we know them ?
I suspect the difference might be that the UK funds invest directly
into the company and here the ETFs just buy the shares on the exchange
and put the shares into their fund together with shares of multiple companies.

If there is such a difference, then it would be quicker to get out of ETFs.
