SELF EMPLOYED INVESTMENTS

One donor where Self Employed Investments meets 2014

A single contributor identity accounts for the entire $973,282. Forty-four itemized contributions still sit in the count, so the money arrived as many lines rather than one check. The join includes only rows whose employer or occupation text rolled up to Self Employed Investments and whose dates fall in 2014. Drop either filter and the dollar figure no longer applies.

Across cycles, the grouping totals $4,680,701. The 2014 window is about 20.8% of that running total — a high cycle share, in the same neighborhood as IDX and Oppenheimer Co cells in this batch. A high share with one filer is a concentration statistic, not a ranking of independent investors and not proof that a firm treasury wrote the checks.

What the concatenated string holds

FEC fields are free text. Self Employed Investments is a rollup of words filers typed together. People who wrote self-employed without Investments, or a fund name, or Investor as a title, may land on other keys. This join does not merge those spellings. Combining them with Entrepreneur or Philanthropist would invent a self-description total neither packet publishes.

Because one donor dominates 2014, the page is closer to a person-level timeline than to a census of independent investors. The industry hub’s $4,680,701 is the place to see the key without the 2014 filter. The overlay for Self Employed Investments 2014 is the row view of the 44 lines.

Treat $4,680,701 as the denominator for the 20.8% share, not as assets under management. A later cycle under this key would have its own donor count and must not inherit the one-donor fact from 2014.

Questions

How much FEC money is tied to Self Employed Investments in 2014?

LobbyVault’s FEC.gov aggregates show $973,282 in itemized individual contributions for this grouping in the 2014 cycle, from 44 contributions and 1 donor. The sum is not a fund PAC total.

Is this the same as Entrepreneur?

No. Self Employed Investments is a concatenated string stored as its own key. Entrepreneur is a different occupation-style grouping with its own cycle cells. Combining them would invent a total neither packet publishes as a join.

What share of this grouping is 2014?

The grouping total stored across cycles is $4,680,701. The 2014 amount of $973,282 is about 20.8% of that figure.

Where is the overlay for this join?

Open Self Employed Investments 2014 for the cycle overlay, Self Employed Investments for the grouping hub, and the 2014 election cycle for the year without this filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.
