He warned that too many City fund managers are focused on short-term performance instead of understanding how businesses could be better run for the long haul, and urged institutions to engage with firms instead of simply selling shares if they have concerns. 'The overall picture has to be one of ownership, not one of trading,' he says.

'It's completely mad,' he says. 'Business people need to think: Hang on a minute, when I think about creating value for owners, I need to remember that the shareholders are millions of people.
