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.IT TAKES a stout-hearted investor to put his money into both the insurance and property sectors, but the gamble may be worth taking over the next few months on Sun Alliance. Although its credit rating was recently downgraded by Moody's, the company has a relatively strong capital position and solvency ratio compared with other insurance composites.
But most important is its high exposure to the domestic UK insurance market, where premium rates are already starting to improve after the long slump. The recovery has been so rapid that it has taken most analysts by surprise.
As important, however, is what happens in the housing market. If the volume of transactions starts to rise next year, Sun Alliance should be a big beneficiary because it is one of the largest household insurers. In which case, the dividend potential is considerable.
