£ CADBURY Nelson Peltz burst into the consciousness of most UK investors when his hedge fund revealed a stake in confectioner Cadbury in 2007, pushing for a spin-off of flagship brands and overseeing a 57 per cent jump in the firm's share price.

£ MONDELEZ At US multinational confectioner Mondelez, Nelson Peltz took a 2.8 per cent stake before securing a seat on the board and driving a 124 per cent boost in the firm's share price.

£ PROCTER & GAMBLE After famously building a 1.5 per cent stake at US consumer goods group Procter & Gamble in 2017, Nelson Peltz fought a proxy fight for a board seat and presided over an 85 per cent surge in its share price. He stepped down from the role last year.
