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.Rupert Pennant-Rea, the former deputy chairman of the Bank of England ousted after an extra-marital affair in March this year, has been confirmed as a part-time non-executive director of investment bank Caspian. Mr Pennant-Rea will work two days a week for the investment group, which was launched at the start of June by Christopher Heath, who founded Baring Securities and was once Britain's highest-paid company director.
Luxembourg-based Caspian intends to concentrate on agency broking, corporate finance and asset management in Latin American and Far Eastern emerging markets. The venture is funded from sources including Equitable Trust, Scottish Eastern Investment Trust and National Finance (a Thai investment bank) as well as the Cayzer shipping family. Before joining the Bank, Rhodesian-born Pennant-Rea, 47, was editor of The Economist.
