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.SHARES in Amvescap, the fund management group, fell 18 per cent last week hurt by plunging stock markets. In fact, the company reported sparkling first half earnings growth of 55 per cent boosted by gains in markets during that period.
Robust growth and low inflation has lifted the value of many money managers' portfolios.
Amvescap was formed last year following the merger of Aim Management Group and Atlanta-based Invesco. Earlier this year it bought LGT Asset Management for about $1.3bn.
Last month the company announced plans to cut about 600 jobs as it folds LGT into its existing funds business.
