Steven Robert Binetter is an experienced investment professional in the New York area, bringing nearly twenty years of expertise across public markets and private investments. From August 2015 through May 2025, he worked at Marshall Wace in New York—initially as a Portfolio Manager and, beginning in 2023, as a Partner. Marshall Wace is a global long/short equity hedge fund overseeing roughly $70 billion. During his tenure, Binetter served as the only investment-side representative on the U.S. Management Committee and delivered strong, repeatable returns at scale. Binetter joined Marshall Wace when the firm managed about $15 billion and employed around 25 people in the U.S. Soon after arriving in 2015, he launched the Global Industrials strategy—referred to internally as the Eureka Fund—starting with roughly $200 million in gross market value. By the end of 2016, the strategy had grown to approximately $1.5 billion. Between 2017 and 2025, Eureka operated between $3 billion and $7 billion in gross market value. He built and led a seven-person investment team that saw minimal turnover, with only two departures over a decade. The portfolio typically maintained about three-quarters exposure to the U.S. and one-quarter to international markets. His coverage spanned industrials and business services, which consistently represented more than half the book, along with technology, media and telecommunications, consumer, non-bank financials, and life science tools. In addition to fundamental investing, he developed systematic and quantamental sub-strategies intended to enhance alpha generation and strengthen risk management. He also chaired Marshall Wace’s quarterly New York–based investment team meeting, helping integrate research, portfolio construction, and risk oversight across the group. From January 2021 to May 2025, Binetter also served as Co-Portfolio Manager of the MW XO Digital Finance Fund, a $450 million private investment vehicle. He played a central role in marketing, launching, and running the fund, and sourced, researched, and managed more than half of the invested capital. Notable investments included Circle, Human Interest, Lukka, TRM Labs, and Accelerant. His work for the fund reflected a broader focus on the convergence of financial services and technology—particularly companies developing data infrastructure, compliance solutions, and insurance capabilities for institutional clients. Before joining Marshall Wace, Binetter spent eight years at Eminence Capital in New York, from August 2007 to May 2015. He began as a Research Associate, became an Analyst in 2009, and was promoted to Portfolio Manager in 2013. Eminence, a long/short equity hedge fund managing around $7 billion, entrusted him with direct responsibility for up to 25 active positions, including trading oversight and sizing decisions.

Stephen Straz grew up believing that authentic craftsmanship comes from patience and doing each task properly. As a kid, he was often the one who stayed behind to finish what he started, and that steady commitment became the foundation of his work. Those early habits still guide how Stephen Straz approaches every project today. He leads Straz Builders LLC on the South Shore of Massachusetts, operating from offices in Marshfield and Pembroke. His company focuses on custom luxury homes, renovations, sustainable and energy-efficient communities, and real estate investments across the South Shore, Greater Boston, Cape Cod, and other parts of New England. Stephen holds a Massachusetts Unrestricted Construction Supervisor’s License, a Class A CDL with hazmat and passenger endorsements, and licenses in hoisting and hydraulics. From 2018 to 2020, he managed about $12 million in real estate holdings, including roughly $4 million in active construction and around $2 million raised from outside investors. One notable accomplishment during that time was the complete renovation and sale of 130 Gray Street in Arlington, which sold for $1.3 million, landing $130,000 above the asking price. His design approach begins with understanding how people live in their homes. He considers natural light, storage, and movement through each space to create layouts that balance practicality and comfort. A detail he often incorporates is a long horizontal window placed in the kitchen backsplash, a simple feature that adds depth and light without relying on trends. Stephen stays closely involved from initial zoning meetings to the final walk-through, keeping communication clear and preventing avoidable delays. His work spans new construction, high-end renovations, and investment properties throughout Plymouth County, Norfolk County, Cape Cod, and the Lake Winnipesaukee region. His familiarity with coastal zoning, local codes, and energy standards helps him anticipate challenges across different markets. He builds trust with homeowners by clearly outlining costs, timelines, and milestones. Investors receive organized proposals that outline budgets, schedules, contingencies, and market-driven reasoning. On-site, he leads with consistency, respect, and a strong focus on safety and accountability. Outside of work, he enjoys time outdoors with his family and stays active through a variety of recreational and competitive activities. For Stephen Straz, each project reflects a long-term commitment to honest communication, practical design, and dependable results.
