The Renaissance Technologies employer grouping records $3,044,050 in itemized individual contributions for the 2012 FEC cycle. Thirty-five contribution lines from nine donors make up that presidential-year cell. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $16,044,442, so 2012 is 19.0% of the key. This is a named quantitative-fund employer, not a generic Investments label and not a 2014 cut of the same firm.

- 35 contributions from 9 donors; about $86,973 per contribution.

Nine donors in a presidential window
Nine people-keys and 35 lines average about 3.9 receipts per donor—close to the “few committees per person” pattern rather than a 30-line stack. Average line size is about $86,973. Average per donor is about $338,228. Those averages sit well above occupation keys and below some one-donor property keys. They describe this string in 2012.
The $3,044,050 is still individual receipts. It is not the fund’s returns, not employee headcount, and not a PAC. Staff who listed a different legal entity are in other rows.
Quantitative funds attract narratives that this table cannot carry: models, returns, and personalities. The FEC join carries $3,044,050, 35 lines, 9 donors, 19.0% of $16,044,442, for Renaissance Technologies in 2012. Nine keys and about $86,973 per line describe a small, high-average presidential cell. A 2014 join for the same industry key exists as a separate URL with separate cycle facts. This file does not overwrite 2012 with 2014.
19.0% of the Renaissance Technologies roll
Sixteen million forty-four thousand four hundred forty-two dollars is the grouping across all cycles. $3,044,050 is 19.0% of that. A presidential year taking about one-fifth of the key is a large slice. A 2014 Renaissance Technologies tie, if present in the catalog, is a different cycle cell and must not be substituted here.
The industry hub holds the running total. This page holds the 2012 intersection so the $3,044,050 is not lost inside $16,044,442.
