Ilan is an investing expert, Aussie entrepreneur and co-founder of BetaShares ETFs - a local born and bred manager of exchange traded funds (‘ETFs’).

Since humble beginnings in 2010, BetaShares has grown to be one of the leading ETF managers in the Australian market, and now manage $5.7 billion of investor’s money across 46 funds which trade on the ASX. Needless to say, Ilan knows what it takes to start small, and grow big.

Ilan is passionate about sharing his knowledge and experiences in a clear, practical, and no-frills way to help investors who don’t know where to start, or just at the beginning, power on their own path.

Ilan is also a Principal at Apex Capital Partners, an investment firm which provides venture capital to exceptional founders who are revolutionising the financial services landscape. Ilan is a Director of Sellable, a property technology company providing Australian real estate owners with a new way of selling their homes. Prior to Apex, Ilan worked at global strategy consultants The Boston Consulting Group, focusing primarily on Private Equity and Financial Services. He started his career in Venture Capital, and was involved in building one of Australia’s first venture capital funds.

Ilan lives in Sydney with his family which includes his Bernese Mountain Dog, Lottie. He’s also a self-confessed sneakerhead and is starting to run out of cupboard space to house his growing collection of limited edition sneakers. Ilan has a Bachelor of Commerce and Laws from the University of New South Wales.
