What investment analyst donors give in federal races

A small analyst pool under $6.1 million

$6,133,673 is the occupation-level dollar total. 4,060 is the itemization count. 341 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $1,511 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $17,987 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 12 itemizations per donor record. Four thousand-plus lines from 341 donor records is a concentrated research-title pattern: fewer people than many occupation strings with similar dollars.

Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no party split, and no cycle series. A few large lines can lift $1,511 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

Mean dollars per donor record sit toward the high side in this dollar band. Because the headcount is 341, a handful of large itemizations can move the occupation total more than they would in a two-thousand-person pool.

How analyst titles splinter in FEC text

Buy-side and sell-side analysts can share this string. The FEC does not code coverage universe, CFA status, or employer type on the occupation field.

FEC Form 3 (candidate committees) and Form 3X (PACs and party committees) collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no drop-down of job titles and no license check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals INVESTMENT ANALYST after indexing. ANALYST, FINANCIAL ANALYST, and RESEARCH ANALYST remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to INVESTMENT ANALYST.

What 341 donor records can and cannot show

341 donor records used INVESTMENT ANALYST on at least one matching itemization. 341 donor records is a thin census. Treat it as a count of contributor records that used this exact title, not as a count of working investment analysts.

A person who listed INVESTMENT ANALYST on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Occupation is stored per transaction, not as a lifetime identity field. Address variants can also split one human into more than one donor record.

Occupation versus finance industry pages

Industry pages on LobbyVault group employer-side categories. An investment analyst at an asset manager and one at a bank share this occupation string if they typed INVESTMENT ANALYST. Adding $6,133,673 to an industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations. Use one filter at a time unless you are tracing a single row.

Open the INVESTMENT ANALYST occupation page for the indexed line list. Use the occupations index to place this string next to neighboring labels. Independent expenditures are not contributions and are not inside $6,133,673.

How to cite the investment analyst key

A usable public-record citation names the exact string: INVESTMENT ANALYST itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $6,133,673 on 4,060 contributions from 341 donor records. Add that the figure is itemized occupation money. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total.

Source: FEC Form 3/3X schedules. The facts do not encode party. Recipient committees are a different join. Occupation is not a CFA roster and not a securities-industry total.

Reading INVESTMENT ANALYST as a prefixed title

INVESTMENT ANALYST in this extract is $6,133,673 on 4,060 itemizations from 341 donor records, or $6.1 million in compact millions. Those dollars are itemized activity on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules; this guide does not invent a fourth occupation-level fact. Analyst is a crowded noun in FEC files; the INVESTMENT prefix is what isolates this key. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not a NAICS industry code and not a verified roster.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $1,511 per contribution and about $17,987 per donor record, with roughly 12 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. ANALYST, FINANCIAL ANALYST, and RESEARCH ANALYST remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to INVESTMENT ANALYST. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $6,133,673. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals INVESTMENT ANALYST, dollars equal $6,133,673, contributions equal 4,060, donors equal 341. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the occupation column.

Researchers who need cycle cuts, employer text, or recipient lists should leave this guide and open the live occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Compact millions ($6.1 million) are the same headline amount as $6,133,673, rounded to one decimal place. Keep the contribution count and the donor-record count in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the shape of INVESTMENT ANALYST in this extract. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.

Questions

How much have investment analyst donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list INVESTMENT ANALYST sum to $6,133,673 across 4,060 contributions and 341 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data. The total is an exact-string occupation filter. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

Is generic ANALYST included?

No. ANALYST is a different occupation key. This page covers INVESTMENT ANALYST only: $6,133,673, 4,060 contributions, and 341 donors. Combining them would invent a total the packet does not publish. The occupation field is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code.

Why is the donor count only 341?

That is the distinct-record tally inside this exact label. Many analysts file FINANCIAL ANALYST or ANALYST and never appear here. Mean dollars per donor record are about $17,987 on $6,133,673. Cite the three packet facts with the exact occupation string. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts are outside this total.

Where can I inspect the itemizations?

The INVESTMENT ANALYST occupation page lists indexed lines. Confirm amounts on FEC.gov. The occupation total remains $6,133,673. Confirm surprising amounts on the committee report at FEC.gov. Occupation matching is exact-string only. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. Industry pages group employers, not this occupation string.
