DBS thrives on independent advice
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.DBS Management, the Huddersfield-based financial services group, yesterday announced a 26 per cent increase in first half pre-tax profits of pounds 1.3m. The profits rise, which also reflected a 26 per cent increase in turnover to pounds 33.8m, came after charging costs of almost pounds 260,000 as part of the company's move on to the Alternative Investment Market in July. DBS's turnover follows the company's positioning in the past year as the largest network of independent financial advisers in the UK.
Since September 1994, the company's number of advisers has grown from 1,700 to more than 2,100, boosted by its ability to offer effective and cheap administration and compliance for members in the wake of tougher financial rules for advisers.
