All but one of the top 10 holdings were blue chip names and the same is true of many of the newly announced holdings, such as HSBC, Capita and Legal & General.
Buy other names will be unfamiliar to many investors. For example, Mr Woodford has bought shares in Allied Minds, an American investment company that is listed in London with a market value of £400m.
The fund also owns shares in Velocys, previously known as Oxford Catalysts Group, which is listed on the junior Aim market with a value of about £265m. It accounts for 0.55pc of Woodford Equity Income.
Another holding is Gagfah, a German residential property company, which makes up 1pc of the fund.
It is extremely unusual, perhaps unprecedented, for a fund to publish a complete list of its holdings. Mr Woodford has said that his new firm is committed to transparency in its dealings with investors.
You can see the fund list at https://woodfordfunds.com/the-woodford-equity-fund/fullportfolio , although you will need to register with your email address.
The fund was launched last month and has already attracted more than £1.6bn from investors. Separately, the company also managed money for St James's Place, the wealth manager.
