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.

rAberdeen Trust, the fund manager, firmed to 123p as Scottish Value, which is endeavouring to shake-up the investment industry, abandoned its predatory intent by selling its 14.3 per cent stake. The sale occurred as Abtrust linked with Phoenix Home, a US insurer, for an American drive. Phoenix is buying convertible notes which could translate into a 17.1 per cent interest in Abtrust.

rEnviromed, the healthcare group, has almost eliminated debt by selling its dental equipment group side. Another disposal is near. It expects its diagnostic division to become its main earner. Profits will not be made this year but should start to flow next. Enviromed, where stake building is evident, has yet to impress. The shares fell 3p to 23p (after 17p). They were floated at 110p.
