Financial Disclaimer

Effective date: April 2026 · QNT42 · hi@qnt42.com

1. No Investment Advice

QNT42 does not provide investment advice, financial advice, trading advice or any other form of advice. All content, signals, z-scores, information coefficients and analytical outputs made available through platform.qnt42.com or qnt42.com are provided for informational and research purposes only.

QNT42 is not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, financial analyst, financial bank, futures commission merchant or commodity trading advisor under any applicable law or regulation in any jurisdiction.

2. No Solicitation or Offer

Nothing contained on this platform or website constitutes a solicitation, recommendation, endorsement, or offer by QNT42 to buy or sell any securities, futures contracts, options, or other financial instruments. QNT42 does not make markets in any financial instruments and does not execute trades on behalf of clients.

3. Past Performance

Any historical signal performance, information coefficients (IC), simulated returns, Sharpe ratios or other performance metrics presented by QNT42 are based on historical data and hypothetical backtesting. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Backtested results do not represent actual trading and may not reflect the impact of material economic and market factors that could affect actual trading results.

Simulated or hypothetical performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike actual performance records, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact of certain market factors, including lack of liquidity and transaction costs.

4. Data Sources and Accuracy

QNT42 sources data from third-party providers including NASA, ESA, NOAA, FRED (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis), the IMF and SEC EDGAR. While QNT42 makes reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the data presented, QNT42 does not guarantee the completeness, accuracy or timeliness of any information and accepts no liability for any errors or omissions.

Satellite-derived signals (NTL, FIRMS, SAR, NDVI) are proxies of physical activity and do not directly measure production, output or financial performance. These signals are subject to data availability, cloud cover, sensor limitations and other technical constraints. They should be interpreted directionally and cross-referenced with fundamental and market data.

5. Information Coefficient (IC) and Statistical Validation

Information Coefficients and other statistical measures reported by QNT42 are computed using Spearman rank correlation between signal readings and forward commodity returns over the stated validation period. These statistics reflect historical relationships and are subject to regime changes, structural breaks and data limitations. Statistical significance does not guarantee future predictive power.

Walk-forward validation results are provided to demonstrate out-of-sample performance during the stated test period and do not constitute a guarantee of future signal quality.

6. Risk of Loss

Trading and investing in financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss. Commodity markets, in particular, are subject to extreme volatility, geopolitical events, supply disruptions and regulatory changes that may result in significant losses. Users of QNT42 signals should not invest capital that they cannot afford to lose and should seek independent professional advice before making any investment decisions.

7. Institutional Use Only

QNT42 is designed and intended for use by institutional investors, professional traders, quantitative analysts and accredited investors with the knowledge and experience to independently evaluate the suitability of any investment strategy. QNT42 is not intended for retail investors or members of the general public who do not have sufficient investment experience and knowledge.

8. No Fiduciary Duty

QNT42 does not act as a fiduciary for any user or client. Users of this platform are solely responsible for their own investment decisions and for determining the suitability of any information provided by QNT42 for their specific investment objectives, financial situation and risk tolerance.

9. Regulatory Status

QNT42 is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) or any other financial regulatory authority. Users are responsible for ensuring that their use of QNT42 signals complies with applicable laws and regulations in their jurisdiction.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, QNT42 and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special or exemplary damages arising from or in connection with the use of, or inability to use, the platform, its signals or any information provided therein, including but not limited to losses arising from trading decisions made in reliance on QNT42 outputs.
