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.Andy Pomfret has announced plans to step down as chief executive of the £20 billion-plus fund manager Rathbone Brothers next year, handing over to his recently recruited deputy, Philip Howell.
Pomfret, 53, joined the 271-year-old firm as its finance director in 1999.
He became chief executive in 2004 when funds under management stood at £7.7 billion.
Pomfret, who said he now wants to pursue a “plural career”, has been a non-executive director of Beazley and is currently on the board of Graphite Enterprise Trust. He was paid £602,000 last year and owns £2.1 million worth of shares as well as around another £500,000 in long-term incentive shares.
Howell joined Rathbones from rival Williams de Broe in March.
