| abstract | - Kahn Brothers Group's principals manage $1 billion in funds through its subsidiaries and affiliated investment businesses. Its investment advisory firm has $664 million in assets under management as of the end of calendar year 2013. Kahn was the oldest active money manager on Wall Street. He made his first trade—a short sale of a copper mining company—in the summer of 1929, months before the infamous market crash in October of that year. In addition, he, his sisters, and his brother were, collectively, the world's oldest living quartet of siblings. Kahn himself lived to 109. His sister, Helen Reichert (1901–2011), nicknamed "Happy", died seven weeks before her 110th birthday. The youngest sibling, Peter Keane (1910–2014), died at the age of 103. Kahn's other sister, Lee (1903–2005), died at the age of 101.
