The Baupost Group Inc employer grouping shows $614,900 in FEC itemized individual contributions for 2012. Twenty-three contributions from 2 donors make up that cycle cell.

Key figures

  • Baupost Group Inc × 2012 is $614,900 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 23 contributions from 2 donors.
  • 2012 is about 2.4% of the grouping’s $25,784,037 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a hedge-fund NAICS total and not a Baupost PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Baupost Group Inc crossed with 2012

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Baupost Group Inc and 2012 — sum to $614,900. Twenty-three itemized contributions and 2 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the Baupost Group Inc hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Twenty-three 2012 lines from two donor keys sit under the Baupost Group Inc legal-suffix string. The Inc. suffix is part of the stored employer text. Dropping it would point at a different key. Two identities are not a census of a Boston investment partnership. 13F holdings are not this table. BAUPOST, BAUPOST GROUP without Inc, and generic INVESTOR or HEDGE FUND occupation strings are other keys.

2.4% of the Baupost Group Inc roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $25,784,037 ($25.8 million). The 2012 slice of $614,900 is about 2.4% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 97.6%. Treating 2012 as the Baupost Group Inc FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $25,784,037 as the denominator for the 2.4% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $25,784,037.
