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.

AMVESCAP, the fund management group formed from the merger of Invesco and AIM Management in 1997, yesterday dismissed rumours that it planned to give up its independence as it reported improved pre-tax profits of pounds 117.6m (pounds 73.4m) for the first half.

Amvescap shares recently rose on rumours that Goldman Sachs was about to bid for the group in an attempt to boost its asset management presence. Neither side commented on the rumours.
