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, one of the last remaining independent British merchant banks, delivered record half-year profits, but Win Bischoff (right) chairman, warned that conditions could become more uncertain. Pre-tax profits soared from pounds 85.6m to pounds 116m in the first half of the year. The bank blamed elections in both the UK and US for its caution, but it is still raising its interim dividend by a third to 6p, at the top end of forecasts. The investment banking arm saw profits rise to pounds 50.7m from pounds 41.7m and Schroders said it had gained several prominent new clients.
