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.

Slater fund boosts Johnson Fry

Funds under management at Johnson Fry grew 51 per cent in the first half of the year, boosted by a unit trust fund run by Mark Slater, the 27-year- old son of former financier Jim Slater. The Johnson Fry Slater Growth Fund is attracting pounds 2m a week in new money and has mushroomed in 15 months from pounds 500,000 to pounds 88m. Small investors continue to pile into the fund, despite the fact that its exposure to small companies means it has lost pole position in the growth sector. It came 11th out of 160 growth funds in the year to July, having been number one a month earlier. Fund management profits at Johnson Fry grew from pounds 993,000 to pounds 1.76m but group profits slumped to pounds 800,000 from pounds 1.5m.
