Arguably, the most famed investors in their field, they each have exceptional long-term records. Frost has managed £7.4bn Artemis Income since 1 January 2002, joined in October 2003 by co-manager Gosden.
Woodford built up his reputation at Invesco Perpetual from the late 1980s, before going in alone last year with the formation of his own firm, Woodford Investment Management.
