The Wallet

💸Ever feel like you should be saving more for uncertainties, but just never manage to? Or perhaps you dream of freedom and the option of retiring earlier? Maybe you feel like you work hard but just don’t earn enough money?

💸The first five months of the year marked the worst start for the S&P 500 since 1970, and inflation has surfaced as one of the most significant risks to the economy. With this increased volatility in both our economy and financial markets, it can be difficult to make sense of it all.  

That’s why today’s episode gives you a market overview and outlook. For this, we invited Axelle, an Equity Product Specialist Manager at Carmignac, to help us gain an understanding of what is currently driving stock markets and consider the outlook for the future.

💸 Do you think companies should care more about climate change and reducing the gender pay gap? 

💸 Did you know that every share you own gives you a vote in company decisions?

💸 Have you heard of shareholder activism? Amazon shareholders rejected 15 motions on worker rights and environment.

If you feel like you have no control over the way corporates run our economies – you’re not alone. Merryn Somerset-Webb, Editor-in-chief of Moneyweek and columnist for Financial Times, noticed how disengaged people were feeling about capitalism, and thus decided to dig deeper and look at ways in which we can return power to the ultimate owners of corporations – the shareholders. While most of us own stakes in companies, we fail to exercise the power that brings – and in this episode, Merryn talks about why it’s time that changed.
