Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement
Financial Year Ending March 2027
QantX Ltd | Approved by the Board of Directors | 11 May 2026
Introduction
This statement is published by QantX Ltd (“the Company”) [in accordance with section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 / on a voluntary basis, as the Company considers transparency on this matter to be consistent with its values and governance standards]. It sets out the steps taken by the Company during the financial year ending March 2027 to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not occurring in its business or supply chains.
- Organisation and Supply Chains
QantX Ltd is a UK-based investment firm focused on IP-led technology investments across deep tech, cleantech, life sciences, and advanced materials. The Company identifies, evaluates, and manages investments in early-stage businesses, with a primary focus on the South and South West of the United Kingdom.
Our direct operations are conducted by a small team based in the UK. Our principal third-party relationships comprise:
- Professional advisers (legal, accounting, tax, and regulatory)
- Technology and software providers
- Office facilities and infrastructure providers
- Financial intermediaries and custodians
We do not manufacture goods, operate production facilities, or maintain complex international supply chains. Our operations are service-based and concentrated in the United Kingdom.
- Policies
The Company has adopted a Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy setting out its commitment to preventing modern slavery in its operations and supply chains. The policy applies to all employees, directors, contractors, consultants, and third parties acting on the Company’s behalf.
The policy is reviewed annually by senior management and sits alongside the Company’s Whistleblowing Policy, Code of Conduct, ESG and Responsible Investment Policy, and Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy.
- Due Diligence
We conduct proportionate due diligence on third parties with whom we engage, having regard to the nature of their business, their geographic footprint, and any indicators of elevated risk. For higher-risk relationships, we may request additional information, including evidence of the counterparty’s own modern slavery controls.
As part of our investment evaluation process, we consider human rights and labour standards where material to the risk profile of a prospective investee company. This is particularly relevant for businesses operating in sectors or geographies with known risks of exploitative working conditions. We engage with management teams on these matters and expect portfolio companies to adopt appropriate policies.
- Risk Assessment
We assess the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chain by reference to:
- The sector and industry in which counterparties operate
- The geographic locations in which work is performed or services are delivered
- The nature of services provided
- The size, structure, and governance of the counterparty
- Any prior incidents, adverse media, or regulatory findings
On the basis of this assessment, we consider the risk of modern slavery in the Company’s direct operations and immediate supply chain to be low. Our principal suppliers are UK-based professional services firms subject to their own regulatory and professional obligations. We will continue to apply appropriate vigilance and update our assessment as our activities and supply chain evolve.
We recognise that portfolio companies may operate in sectors or geographies with a higher inherent risk profile. We factor human rights considerations into our investment due diligence and ongoing engagement with investee businesses.
- Key Performance Indicators
During the financial year ending March 2027, the Company:
- Completed modern slavery due diligence reviews for all new supplier and counterparty engagements
- Identified no incidents or credible reports of modern slavery or human trafficking in its operations or supply chain
- Reviewed and updated its Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy
- Ensured all employees and relevant personnel received awareness guidance on modern slavery risks
- Training and Awareness
All employees and relevant personnel are expected to familiarise themselves with the Company’s Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy. The Company provides guidance on recognising the signs of modern slavery and the steps to take if a concern is identified. Awareness of modern slavery risks forms part of the induction process for new staff.
Reporting Concerns
Concerns may be raised with any member of senior management or through the Company’s whistleblowing procedure, which provides for confidential and, where appropriate, anonymous reporting. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. No individual will suffer detriment for raising a concern in good faith.
APPROVAL
This statement has been approved by the Board of Directors of QantX Ltd.

RISK SUMMARY – NMPI
Estimated reading time: 2 min
Due to the potential for losses, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) considers this investment to be very complex and high risk.
What are the key risks?
1. You could lose all the money you invest
- If the business offering this investment fails, there is a high risk that you will lose all your money. Businesses like this often fail as they usually use risky investment strategies.
- Advertised rates of return aren’t guaranteed. This is not a savings account. If the issuer doesn’t pay you back as agreed, you could earn less money than expected or nothing at all. A higher advertised rate of return means a higher risk of losing your money. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
- These investments are very occasionally held in an Innovative Finance ISA (IFISA). While any potential gains from your investment will be tax free, you can still lose all your money. An IFISA does not reduce the risk of the investment or protect you from losses.
2. You are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong
- The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), in relation to claims against failed regulated firms, does not cover investments in unregulated collective investment schemes. You may be able to claim if you received regulated advice to invest in one, and the adviser has since failed. Try the FSCS investment protection checker here.
- Protection from the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) does not cover poor investment performance. If you have a complaint against an FCA-regulated firm, FOS may be able to consider it. Learn more about FOS protection here.
3. You are unlikely to get your money back quickly
- This type of business could face cash-flow problems that delay payments to investors. It could also fail altogether and be unable to repay any of the money owed to you.
- You are unlikely to be able to cash in your investment early by selling your investment. In the rare circumstances where it is possible to sell your investment in a ‘secondary market’, you may not find a buyer at the price you are willing to sell.
- You may have to pay exit fees or additional charges to take any money out of your investment early.
4. This is a complex investment
- This kind of investment has a complex structure based on other risky investments, which makes it difficult for the investor to know where their money is going.
- This makes it difficult to predict how risky the investment is, but it will most likely be high.
- You may wish to get financial advice before deciding to invest.
5. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
- Putting all your money into a single business or type of investment for example, is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well.
- A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments.
