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.

PHILLIP Thorpe, chief executive of the Investment Management Regulatory Organisation, has called for more openness from regulators, writes Caroline Merrell.

The demand for greater transparency from the Personal Investment Authority and the Securities and Investments Board came as Imro published its first quarterly performance report. Imro regulates fund managers, unit trust companies and some life assurance companies.

'We believe that being committed to investor protection demands greater openness on the part of the regulators, as well as those being regulated,' Mr Thorpe said.

The report said that of the 184 complaints to Imro in the first quarter, 71, questioned the suitability of the products sold.
