    Description:

    1888 Management is the family office of the Koch brothers -- Charles and David. The firm is named for the year the billionaires' grandfather, Hotze Koch, emigrated to America from the Netherlands. The investments of 1888 are aimed to consist mainly of senior bonds backed by auto loans, credit-card receivables, and personal loans. While its focus is investing directly in companies, 1888 Management oversees a mix of holdings -- including corporate bonds. The Koch brothers are major players in conservative politics as well as the heads of Koch Industries and have a current net worth of $95 billion combined, according to Bloomberg. 1888 Management has more than $2 billion under management, according to the report, although it holds less than $100 million in publicly traded stocks.
