The collapse of Neil Woodford's 3.7 billion ($4.7 billion) investment fund has left investors stranded. And any hope of a speedy exit has been quashed this week when Woodford he'll continue shutting out investors at least until the next update at the end of July.

The UK's financial regulator, the FCA has faced criticism for failing to spot how much his fund, which became a liquidity desert , was a risk to investors.

But not all the stocks in Woodford's portfolio are duds, according to brokerage Louis Capital Markets.

Louis Capital looked at the average analyst price target for those stocks, and calculated a potential upside of at least 150%.
