Distant energy sources to the fore for US investment company (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wells fargo

'us investment company' is the definition.

'distant energy sources to the fore' is the wordplay.
'distant energy' becomes 'fargo' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'sources' becomes 'wells' (well is a kind of source).
'to the fore' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fargo' after 'wells' is 'WELLS FARGO'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for wells fargo that I've seen before include "Mail and transport company" , "carrying company" , "stage names" , "American company - with 23a" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
