The Oldest Money Managers

1. Irving Kahn

The oldest active investment broker on Wall Street, and early disciple of Benjamin Graham – who created the methodology of value investing – was Irving Kahn. The New York City native jump started his career as a broker in 1929, when he made his first trade, merely a few months before the collapse that led to the Great Depression. After several decades of intense labour and gaining stock market wisdom, he founded his own investment firm: Kahn Brothers Group, Inc. And although his oldest son Thomas took on the role of president at the business, Kahn continued to work until his last day. Therefore, at 109, he takes the crown as the oldest money manager.
