London in the lead
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.The City of London is confirmed as Europe's leading financial centre - but the US investment banking giants that operate there outranked the Brits in the latest investment analysts' survey, out yesterday, writes JohnWillcock.
Stephen Parker, managing director of Tempest Consultants, which conducted the 1995 Ranking of European Larger Company Investment Analysts among Europe's leasing fund managers and finance directors, said there was "some amazement" in the City about the results. "It's one thing to hear about it, it's another to see it set down in black and white. The big US investment banks have organised their research teams along pan-European lines for some time now, and this shows through," Mr Parker said.
