FIDELITY INVESTMENTS as FEC employer text: $10.2 million
Contributors who listed FIDELITY INVESTMENTS on federal itemized receipts account for $10,182,560, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 18,403 contributions from 871 donors. FIDELITY INVESTMENTS is a two-word fund-company string as typed, not a NAICS investment-advice total, and not Fidelity’s PAC or fund-family AUM. GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY and MORGAN STANLEY & CO INC are sibling firm-name rows. Packet facts for this page are $10,182,560, 18,403 contributions, and 871 donors, with top employer FIDELITY INVESTMENTS. Unitemized gifts never appear in that total. LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov individual receipts, not fund assets under management and not NAICS investment advice.
Key figures
- FIDELITY INVESTMENTS as FEC employer text totals $10,182,560 from 871 donors.
- 18,403 contribution lines sit under that two-word firm string.
- INVESTOR and INVESTMENTS without Fidelity are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS investment sector or firm PAC.
A consumer fund brand in the employer box
LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Filers often type FIDELITY INVESTMENTS rather than FMR LLC or a legal subsidiary. The $10,182,560 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not Fidelity’s disclosed PAC spending, not mutual-fund assets, and not a NAICS 5239 or 52392 rollup of investment advice and related services.
People who typed FIDELITY, FMR, a brokerage subsidiary, or INVESTMENTS without the Fidelity name sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into this two-word string. Former employees who still write FIDELITY INVESTMENTS share the cluster with current staff.
871 donors and 18,403 lines
871 unique donors produced 18,403 FIDELITY INVESTMENTS contribution lines totaling $10,182,560. That is on the order of 21 itemized receipts per donor. Unique-donor count sits between thinner historic-broker rows and larger payroll clusters in this dollar band. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $10,182,560 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 18,403 lines are expected.
INVESTMENTS and INVESTOR are different keys
INVESTMENTS, INVESTOR, PRIVATE INVESTOR, and Self/Investor are occupation-style or generic-title rows. Combining them with FIDELITY INVESTMENTS would mix a firm name with people who described their work without naming Fidelity. This page stays at $10,182,560 for the two-word brand only.
Occupation pages show titles stored beside FIDELITY INVESTMENTS — advisor, analyst, retired — as typed. BANKER still holds people who put that title in the employer box instead of this company.
Donor table without fund-flow inference
The FIDELITY INVESTMENTS donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a 401(k) product, a fund vote, or a motive to that line. The FEC field is not an HR export.
Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the brand string. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

FMR, FIDELITY, and INVESTOR remain other keys
FIDELITY INVESTMENTS is not FMR LLC, not the one-word FIDELITY, and not the generic title INVESTOR. Those strings sit on other keys. The $10,182,560 total, 18,403 contribution lines, and 871 donors describe this two-word brand only. PRIVATE INVESTOR and Self/Investor remain occupation-style rows. GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY is a sibling firm-name row.
Unitemized gifts, state races, fund AUM, and the company PAC stay outside the $10,182,560. Occupation pages show titles beside FIDELITY INVESTMENTS. Former employees who still type the two-word name remain in the 871. The FEC field is not an HR export and not NAICS 5239.

Researchers who want an investment-industry recode must list INVESTOR, PRIVATE INVESTOR, Self/Investor, and FMR as separate additions. The $10,182,560 figure does not absorb those rows. It stays on FIDELITY INVESTMENTS as 871 donors and 18,403 lines. Fund AUM is a different dataset. Follow recipient committees on the FIDELITY INVESTMENTS donor table.

Staff who typed only BANKER sit in that occupation-style row instead. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.
- How many unique donors listed FIDELITY INVESTMENTS?
- The rollup counts 871 donors and 18,403 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count — on the order of 21 itemized receipts per donor. This is not an employee headcount from the company. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only.
