Meet the woman who wants to own a share in every UK listed company

The Engagement Appeal's founder, Sheryl Cuisa, has a plan to follow in the footsteps of Wilma Soss and the other so-called Corporate Gadflies, who were pioneers in corporate activism in the 1940s. These women used shareholder meetings as platforms to advocate for gender equality and transparency in corporate boards.

Cuisia, who currently has about 700 companies in her portfolio and aims to have them all - and engage with as many of them as humanly possible, talks to FT Adviser editor Simoney Kyriakou about why she believes engagement is so vital.

Why people feel less safe than in 1994 (and what to do about it)

The Doomsday clock, which was created in 1945 by Einstein and Oppenheimer, and is run by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, said the world was at 90 seconds to midnight. This indicates how vulnerable we are globally to man-made threats. This year, as tensions rise, the world goes to the polls, new friendships are forged and old alliances are put under strain, ordinary people can indeed feel closer to midnight.

Are we safe? And if we are not, how can we plan for our futures, or for the next generations? Should we be worried about our portfolios or our supply of shotgun cartridges? When it comes to financial planning, how can advisers help shape clients' response to world events, rather than having them make knee-jerk reactions.

Talking to FT Adviser editor Simoney Kyriakou is Daffyd Rees, an award-winning business journalist by background, a former policy adviser to the UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and is now a senior adviser to leading UK and international companies for SEC Newgate.
