$2,513,905 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the grouping Investments. FEC.gov aggregates count 2,008 contributions from 573 donors. The same string totals $48,858,468 across every cycle in this table, so the 2008 cell is about 5.15% of the lifetime bucket. Investments is a noun used as an occupation or employer. It is not a statement of portfolio size. The key is not a household AUM total and not a brokerage PAC.

- Investments × 2008: $2,513,905 in itemized individual contributions.
- 2,008 contributions from 573 donors; about $1,251.94 per gift and $4,387.27 per donor.

Investments as stored noun × cycle 2008
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Investments and 2008 — sum to $2,513,905. The cell holds 2,008 itemized contributions and 573 unique donors. 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 Investments hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Investments is a noun used as an occupation or employer. It is not a statement of portfolio size. INVESTOR, INVESTMENT MANAGER, and INVESTMENT BANKER remain other keys. This page is the noun Investments. Open Investments 2008 for the overlay rows, Investments for other cycles, and the 2008 election cycle for other employer strings.
Dividing $2,513,905 by 2,008 contributions yields about $1,251.94 per itemized gift. Dividing by 573 donors yields about $4,387.27 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 3.5. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical salary.
2008 Investments dollars versus the lifetime key
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $48,858,468. The 2008 slice of $2,513,905 is about 5.15% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 94.85%. Treating 2008 as the entire Investments FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $48,858,468 as the denominator for the 5.15% 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 2008 from being folded silently into $48,858,468.

Questions
- How much did Investments donors give in 2008?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $2,513,905 in itemized individual contributions for the Investments grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 2,008 contributions and 573 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $48,858,468 all-cycle figure.
- What share of Investments FEC money is 2008?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $48,858,468. The 2008 cell of $2,513,905 is about 5.15% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 94.85% on the industry hub. Do not treat 2008 as the whole Investments story.
- Is Investments the same as Investor?
- No. Investments and Investor are different occupation strings on FEC forms and different LobbyVault pages. This 2008 cell uses only Investments. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Investments hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Where is the overlay for the Investments 2008 join?
- Open Investments 2008 for the cycle overlay, Investments for the grouping hub, and the 2008 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON names the join; the overlay holds the rows.
