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.

James Capel and Samuel Montagu, two of the best-known names in UK financial markets, are to be merged into a new entity, HSBC Investment Banking. Announcing the biggest shake-up of its investment banking operations since it bought the stockbroking firm James Capel in 1984, HSBC said the move would eliminate confusion and highlight the powerful parent.

HSBC said it would drop the James Capel and Samuel Montagu names for Continental European business, opting instead for HSBC Investment Banking. Capel and Montagu will be preserved for business within the UK but will be prefixed with HSBC. Keith Harris, the former head of Montagu, will become the chief executive of HSBC Investment Bank.
