A thin key with high dollars per line

31,959 itemizations against $45,362,830 implies about $1,419 per contribution. 3,656 donor records imply about $12,408 per donor and about 9 contributions per donor record. Compared with INVESTOR, this string has fewer lines and a higher mean gift in this extract.

The two keys are not a ranking of the same people. Donors choose investor or investments. This overlay cites only $45,362,830, 31,959 contributions, and 3,656 donors.

Investment manager, investments, and private investments may split across strings if normalization did not collapse them. This page is the INVESTMENTS match.

Occupation versus capital-markets industry

Industry pages group employer categories. A person in investments at a family office and a person at a broker-dealer can share this occupation word and split across industries. Adding occupation and industry dollars double-counts.

FINANCE, BANKER, and INVESTOR are neighboring occupation keys. A combined “investing” headline would be a research construct, not a single FEC field.
