Macro & thematic positioning
Each quarter we map the factors, themes, sectors and geographies we expect to outperform — defining target exposures and the universe positions are built from.
A hybrid long-short equity fund. A systematic research engine, under discretionary control.

700+ proprietary and external signals across value, quality, growth, sentiment, options activity, alternative data and institutional flow — ranked by mispricing probability with in-house ML models.
Every candidate runs through Sentry, our in-house AI research platform, where theses are stress-tested and portfolio impact is quantified before capital moves.
Risk, factor exposure and correlation are modelled continuously and actively managed. Exposure and beta envelopes are mandate-defined and detailed in offering documents.
Markets resolve one branch at a time. We trade bottlenecks, asymmetric information and conditional probabilities — each node a state of the world, each edge the odds of getting there. The lattice is how we reason about it, and the name the firm was built on.
A broad set of proprietary and external signals feeds our ML models. Sentry, our in-house AI research platform, sits above them and handles the qualitative layer.
Ilay oversees portfolio management, quantitative research and technology infrastructure at Binomial. He architected the firm's entire research and risk stack from first principles — including Sentry, a proprietary AI system for quantitative modeling, risk diagnostics and financial workflow automation — as well as custom factor-exposure models, systematic screening engines, and ML-based capital-allocation frameworks.
Prior to Binomial, he held roles in financial engineering, investment banking, software engineering and quantitative research, advising on equities, derivatives and structured products. Alongside his institutional experience, he has actively managed equities and options for more than six years before formalizing the strategy inside Binomial.
BS in Finance & Mathematics, Bocconi University (full scholarship, Merit Award). MS in Machine Learning & Computer Science in progress at Reichman University. Plans to pursue a PhD in Mathematics or Quantum Computing.
