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.

Schroders, Britain's biggest remaining investment bank, slumped 7 per cent last week, hurt by recent declines in the Asian stock market. Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng Index fell 6.5 per cent last week. In March Schroders took a pounds 32m charge to set against 220 Asian job cuts and exposure to potential losses in the region. To add to its woes, the company was rated 60th out of 66 pension fund managers in a survey compiled last month by Caps, a service that measures fund performance. Against an average return of 16.6 per cent, Schroders turned in a return that was lower than 14 per cent.
