What is Modern Slavery?
Modern slavery is a serious and often hidden crime in which people (including children) are exploited for personal and/or commercial gain. The impact can be devastating for the victims.
What is Human Trafficking?
Human trafficking is defined as arranging or facilitating the travel of another person with a view to exploitation and includes travel within a country, not just across international borders.
Staff must report concerns and any suspicions of modern slavery or human trafficking to the Chief Compliance Officer.
The Business
Dymon Asia is a leading Asia-focused alternative investment manager. Dymon Asia does not have a traditional manufacturing supply chain. Investment management is not considered high risk and we consider the services we provide are very unlikely to be affected by modern slavery. However, mechanisms for prevention are in place. Dymon Asia engages financial services-focused vendors to support the investment funds and vehicles it manages. This mainly includes the supply of fund administration services, trading and execution services and asset custody services. We also work with suppliers who support our office facilities.
We may terminate any contract at any time should any instances of modern slavery and/or human trafficking come to light.
We require appropriate right-to-work documentation for staff including temps, interns, and contract staff. No one under the legal minimum age for admission to work is employed.
We will continue to review and update our compliance approach as our businesses and inherent or perceived supplier risks change over time.
