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.

PERPETUAL, the award-winning unit trust group, is to launch its first investment trust, a Japanese trust, writes Maria Scott. This week's political uncertainty in Japan has not dented its enthusiasm.

The minimum subscription to the Perpetual Japanese Investment Trust will be pounds 500 and there will be a savings scheme, expected to accept minimum contributions of pounds 20 a month.

The trust will be managed by Scott McGlashan, who manages Perpetual's Japanese Growth Fund. This trust ranked third out of 66 Japanese trusts over five years. The trust will invest mainly in smaller Japanese companies. Perpetual aims to

raise pounds 60m and the deadline for applications is 2 July.

Prospectuses are available from Perpetual Portfolio Management, 48 Hart Street, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire RG9 2AZ and Cazenove & Co, 12 Tokenhouse Yard, London EC2R 7AN.
