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.Schroders yesterday promoted a senior investment manager to its board and announced two senior appointments in its investment business.
The changes came hard on the heels of problems at Fleming and Morgan Grenfell that have forced the two rival merchant banks to overhaul their fund management operations.
But Schroders said that its own moves were long planned and were not a response to any difficulties. They were also internal promotions.
John Govett, chairman of Schroder Investment Management, is joining the group board while David Salisbury and Hugh Bolland, the joint chief executives of the asset management business, both take a step upwards. Mr Salisbury is to be chairman and Mr Bolland chief executive of Schroder Investment Management from 1 January.
Jean Solandt is retiring as chairman of the London banking subsidiary and group managing director of financial markets, after reaching 60. He will be replaced as banking chairman by David Challen. Andrew Sykes and Mark Hopkinson are to be joint group managing directors for financial markets.
