    After 16 years at the helm of the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries, Rob Sinclair is set to step down. The man who - by his own admission - is partly responsible for the introduction of the retail distribution review has been a familiar figure for advisers for many years. He talks to FT Adviser editor Simoney Kyriakou about advocating for mortgage advisers post-credit crunch, why it is important to create a working climate where you can "debate things" and argue in a powerful and constructive way, and to have a clear, sharp focus on what the outcomes should be.

    'If we always stick to middle-aged rich people it narrows down the conversation'

    Research by consultancy McKinsey has found that, in the case of ethnic and cultural diversity, there is a strong business case for companies whose senior management was more culturally and ethnically diverse. It found that, in 2019, top-quartile companies outperformed those in the fourth one by 36 per cent in profitability, slightly up from 33 per cent in 2017 and 35 per cent in 2014. So how can improved representation boost UK financial services performance and improve outcomes for Britain’s consumers? On this podcast, Atlyn Forde, founder and chief executive of Communicate Inclusively, talks to FT Adviser editor Simoney Kyriakou about her mission to empower organisations to achieve transformative DE&I success through Forde's change-maker programme.

    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. The FTAdviser Podcast is designed to inform regulated UK advisers on a range of topics, covering investments, pensions, regulation and other key issues. Hosted on Acast.

    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.
