1888 Investments

1888 Investments was founded in 2014. Charles Koch established the office to centralize management of family wealth generated by Koch Industries. The structure also incorporates participation from Julia Koch and Chase Koch. The firm allocates across direct private equity, public markets, and alternative strategies. Asset classes include private equity, real estate, natural resources, and infrastructure. Geographic focus remains North America. Confirmed positions include a stake in Circle Internet Group. The office employs a lean team led by Trent May as Chief Investment Officer and President and Christopher Welker as President and Chief Operating Officer. Additional vehicles include the 1888 Feeder-Fund and coordination with Stand Together entities. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The office maintains separation between investment activities and the broader Koch philanthropic network anchored by the Charles Koch Foundation and Stand Together.
