Backing Britain - how does that work for investors?
We have all been urged to back British businesses by various chancellors recently, but this goes much further than simply shopping locally. We need to look at our investment strategies, too.

Rees-Mogg is a doyenne of angel investing and a specialist commentator on the early stage entrepreneurial market in the UK.

How to understand the economy of nature
In 2020, the former BoE governor Mark Carney said the bank's objective was that "every professional financial decision will need to take climate change into account". Since then we have seen regulatory action on removing greenwashing from the investment process, a consumer duty obligation to have more open conversations with clients about their investment choices and a global push politically and economically to tackle climate change. But what about more immediate, tangible effects that can be seen in investing directly to tackle environmental degradation? How can the natural economy align to individual financial plans as well as to the wider economy? Here to discuss these things with FT Adviser editor Simoney Kyriakou is Will McDonald, an independent consultant and a sustainability and public policy expert.

From Nasa to Income Protection: what lessons can we learn from AI advances
In this episode of the Editor's Podcast, Simoney Kyriakou, editor of FT Adviser, talks about artificial intelligence - two words one can hardly escape hearing or reading, it seems.

She is joined by a tech enthusiast, Dr Christian Westermann to consider how financial services can use AI better. He worked on NASA and the ESA space missions in the 1990s, building satellite-based instruments, working on signal detection, and trying to understand the origin of our solar system with the use of physics, data & modelling.
