Our Story
Zillionaire Investments and project alpha where founded on a simple idea that still guides every arm of the firm today: sophisticated market expertise should be paired with absolute transparency and genuine partnership. Over the years that principle has expanded into a connected ecosystem—commodity-trading pool, fund-management division, investors’ club, proprietary trading firm, and high-frequency trading desk—each reinforcing the others while giving clients and partners multiple ways to participate in the same culture of performance and openness.
At the core of the enterprise is the Project Alpha commodity trading pool, a rolling limited partnership capped at fifty million dollars to keep the strategy nimble. The pool concentrates on the most liquid, volatility-rich futures markets—S&P 500, NASDAQ, crude oil, and gold—executed through an intraday price-action program refined across more than a decade and a half of live trading.
Every position is entered and exited manually, typically within five to fifteen minutes, allowing the desk to harvest small pieces of directional momentum hundreds of times per session while avoiding the overnight risk that plagues many macro funds. Investors receive a twelve-percent annualized preferred return, paid out in monthly one-percent installments, after which profits are shared; there are no management fees and no long lock-ups, only a renewable thirty-day commitment. A secure portal streams real-time positions, P&Ls, and risk metrics so partners can watch their capital work minute by minute.
Alongside the pool operates the broader fund-management division, which structures and oversees bespoke vehicles for family offices and institutional allocators who require tailored mandates or diversified sleeves. Leveraging the same risk infrastructure that underpins Project Alpha, the division can layer systematic hedges, allocate across multiple asset classes, or carve out volatility buckets while still honoring the firm’s ethos of daily transparency and co-invested alignment.
Supporting both is the Zillionaire Investors Club, an invite-only community that treats capital providers as collaborators rather than spectators. Weekly strategy briefings, live trading room access, and curated educational summits give members an inside view of desk thinking and an open channel to challenge it. The Club also serves as an incubator for new strategies, seeding promising ideas from its members, resident traders and data scientists before they graduate into standalone funds.
Those traders arrive through the proprietary trading firm, a separate but tightly integrated entity that scouts talent, provides capital, and supplies the technological backbone for discretionary and quantitative teams. Desks seat their traders on ultra-low-latency VPS infrastructure—built under the TradeHost brand—collocated near major exchange data centers yet remotely accessible from Zillionaire’s Brooklyn headquarters. In exchange for performance fees, the firm covers clearing, market data, and risk management, creating a funnel of fresh strategies and execution expertise that continually enriches the flagship pool and bespoke mandates.
The most technologically demanding layer is the high-frequency trading operation, which specializes in market making and micro-correlation arbitrage among U.S. equity-index futures. Using bespoke C++ engines, FPGA-accelerated market-data handlers, and cross-connected links to CME and ICE matching engines, the HFT desk monitors tick-level order-flow imbalances across the S&P 500, NASDAQ, Dow Jones, and Russell 2000 complexes. When three indices align in momentum but a fourth lags, the engine fires sub-millisecond orders to capture that spread. Though the strategy runs at machine speed, human traders supervise it from the proprietary desk, feeding edge cases back into the discretionary program and ensuring that risk never drifts beyond predefined heat limits.
By weaving these operations together—transparent commodity pool, adaptive fund structures, an engaged investors’ community, a talent-rich prop desk, and a cutting-edge HFT unit—Zillionaire Investments delivers something rare in modern finance: institutional-grade performance delivered with the candor of a neighborhood bank. Every new product, every trading algorithm, and every capital call starts with the same promise made on day one: we earn only when our partners do, and we show them everything in real time while we earn it.
