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.Artemis Income has grown rapidly since it was merged with a similar ABN Amro product in September 2002, following a merger of the two fund managers. It has proved popular with investors using up their ISA allowances in the run-up to the end of the tax year on 5 April.
Philippa Gee, of independent financial adviser Torquil Clark, said the fee increase was not justified. "Initial calculations show that this could mean an additional £3.75m a year for Artemis. Surely the bigger the fund gets, the lower the charges should be?"
However, Nick Wells of Artemis said the charge was simply being brought into line with its other actively managed funds.
