Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

PEOPLE baffled by personal pension choices should take comfort from the fact that their confusion is shared by insurers.

Personal Pension Management sent a questionnaire to 97 British insurers asking them to provide details of the self-invested pension plans (Sipps) that they offered. More than half of those who replied were unaware of the existence of these schemes.

The few insurers who gave intelligent replies included Britannia Life, Eagle Star, Friends Provident, London & Manchester, National Provident Institution and Scottish Equitable.
