The fund was established in 2015 and was managed by Woodford Investment Management led by Neil Woodford until December 2019 when the fund came under the management of Schroders.[5][6]

Among other early stage investments, through its portfolio company, Industrial Heat, the trust is the world's largest institutional investor in the pseudoscientific Cold Fusion technology.[7]

The trust changed its name from Woodford Patient Capital Trust to Schroders UK Public Private Trust on 16 December 2019[5] and was renamed to Schroders Capital Global Innovation Trust in April 2023.[8]
