The Investment Funds Association (“IFA”) acknowledges the importance of compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the “MSA”).
Modern slavery as referred to in the MSA includes slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. IFA is committed to conducting itself without modern slavery in either its business or its supply chains and to being transparent in its approach, as is consistent with IFA’s obligations under the MSA.
After having reviewed the requirements of the MSA with regard to its business and supply chain, IFA considers that its business and supply chain are at low risk of involving instances of modern slavery. IFA is aware of the importance of its compliance with the MSA and the need to take into account the risk of modern slavery in IFA’s business.
This statement is made pursuant to Section 54(1) MSA and has been approved by the members of IFA. IFA will periodically review and, as appropriate, update this statement.
