INVESTOR occupation totals in FEC bulk data

Fewer lines, higher dollars per line

116,247 itemizations is a thinner transaction stack than many professional labels. Against $135,613,491, the mean is about $1,167 per contribution. Against 11,422 donors, the mean is about $11,873 per donor record. About 10 contributions per donor is the repeat rate.

That shape is dollar-heavy relative to line count. It still includes small itemizations; a mean above $1,000 does not mean every gift was that size. The packet has no median.

Retired people, fund principals, and informal investors may all type INVESTOR. The FEC box does not encode accredited-investor status or assets under management.

INVESTOR versus INVESTMENTS

INVESTMENTS is a separate occupation page. Some donors describe their work as a noun (investor) and some as a field (investments). Combining the keys without showing both source totals would mix strings the bulk file kept apart. This overlay cites only $135,613,491, 116,247 contributions, and 11,422 donors.

FINANCE, BANKER, and FOUNDER are also separate. A person who wrote INVESTOR on one gift and FINANCE on another appears in both occupation totals for those lines.

What the donor count can support

11,422 donor records used INVESTOR on matching itemizations. That is not a count of people in the capital markets. Name variants and multiple addresses can split records. This overlay does not de-duplicate beyond the FEC contributor record.

Employer may list a fund, “self,” or a holding company. Employer is not one of the three packet facts. Industry pages group employer categories and will not equal this occupation total. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $135.6 million. That compact figure is the same headline amount as the full dollar total on this page, rounded to one decimal place in millions.

Using the hub as a public record

Open the INVESTOR occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to compare INVESTOR with INVESTMENTS, FINANCE, and BANKER. Do not read party from the occupation column.

Source: FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts are outside $135,613,491. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $135.6 million. That compact figure is the same headline amount as the full dollar total on this page, rounded to one decimal place in millions.

Limits

The harvested facts have no cycle year. Live hub filters may change displayed sums. Occupation remains donor-supplied text. These three numbers do not measure market power or coordinated fund giving.

Researchers comparing occupation keys should keep INVESTOR on its own line with its own dollar, contribution, and donor facts. The occupations index is the inventory of neighboring strings. Industry pages remain an employer-side cut and should not be added to this occupation total. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so $135.6 million is itemized activity for this string in the loaded extract. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $135.6 million. That compact figure is the same headline amount as the full dollar total on this page, rounded to one decimal place in millions.

INVESTOR as a person-noun next to INVESTMENTS

INVESTOR is $135.6 million on 116,247 itemizations from 11,422 donor records. Mean line size is about $1,167, higher than most professional labels in this harvest, with about 10 itemizations per donor. INVESTMENTS is a field-name key with its own $45,362,830. FINANCE and BANKER are also separate. Combining those four into “capital markets” is a research cluster, not an FEC field.

Accredited-investor status is not in the occupation box. Informal investors and fund principals can share INVESTOR. 11,422 is a contributor-record count. Industry pages will not equal $135,613,491. Keep the filter exact and cite all three facts when the question is this string’s size in the bulk extract. INVESTOR is the person-noun. Eleven thousand four hundred twenty-two donor records and 116,247 itemizations produced $135.6 million. INVESTMENTS is the field-name with $45.4 million of its own. Adding them requires a methods sentence. Accredited status is not in the box. Informal investors and fund principals can share the noun. Exact-string citation avoids that mix-up.

Questions

How much have INVESTOR-occupation donors given?

Occupation INVESTOR is attached to $135,613,491 in LobbyVault’s FEC bulk index, from 116,247 contributions and 11,422 donor records. The total is itemized occupation money, not a census of investors. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. The live hub may apply cycle filters; this packet is the harvested occupation key.

Is INVESTMENTS included in the INVESTOR total?

No. INVESTMENTS is a separate occupation string. This page covers INVESTOR only: $135,613,491, 116,247 contributions, and 11,422 donors. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. The live hub may apply cycle filters; this packet is the harvested occupation key.

What is the average investor contribution in this file?

$135,613,491 divided by 116,247 itemizations is about $1,167 per contribution. Divided by 11,422 donors, the mean is about $11,873 per donor record. Both are means, not medians. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. The live hub may apply cycle filters; this packet is the harvested occupation key.

Does INVESTOR mean the donor works at a hedge fund?

No. The occupation field is free text. Informal investors, retired investors, and fund professionals may all use the word. Employer, when filled, is a different column. The matching contribution count is 116,247 and the matching donor-record count is 11,422. Those three numbers are occupation-string totals from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault, not a licensed roster and not a party split.
