Baupost Group Inc political money in the 2014 election cycle

The Baupost Group Inc employer grouping shows $3,144,700 in FEC itemized individual contributions for 2014. Seventy-five contribution lines from two donors make up that midterm cell. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $25,784,037, so 2014 is 12.2% of the fund key. This is a named investment employer, not the generic Investor or Investments occupation strings.

Key figures

  • $3,144,700 tagged Baupost Group Inc in the 2014 FEC cycle.
  • 75 contributions from 2 donors; about $41,929 per contribution.
  • 2014 is 12.2% of the grouping’s $25,784,037 all-cycle total.
  • Named fund key, not the generic Investor occupation string.

Two donor keys, 75 lines

Seventy-five receipts on two people-keys is a high lines-per-donor ratio: 37.5 on average. Dollars per line average about $41,929. Dollars per donor average about $1,572,350. That shape often appears when a small number of people give to many committees or when joint-fundraising and Super PAC receipts multiply Schedule A rows. The facts count the rows. They do not name the committees.

The $3,144,700 cell is still individual money tagged to this employer string. It is not the fund’s AUM, not a 13F, and not a PAC. Employees or principals who listed a different legal name sit in other keys.

Seventy-five Schedule A lines on two donor keys is a filing pattern that often puzzles first-time readers. Joint fundraising splits, contributions to many committees, and Super PAC receipts all multiply rows without multiplying people. The facts for 2014 are $3,144,700, 75 lines, 2 donors, 12.2% of $25,784,037. Dollars per line about $41,929 and dollars per donor about $1,572,350 are that arithmetic. They are not AUM and not a 13F position list.

12.2% of the Baupost Group Inc roll

Twenty-five million seven hundred eighty-four thousand thirty-seven dollars is the grouping across all cycles. $3,144,700 is 12.2% of that. A midterm taking about one-eighth of a named-fund key is a meaningful slice without being the lifetime figure. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 87.8%.

The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2014 from being folded silently into $25,784,037.

Named fund versus occupation labels

Investor and Investments pages collect people who did not type this firm. Summing those occupation cells with Baupost Group Inc would mix unrelated strings. The 2-donor count would become meaningless. Keep the keys separate.

2014 is a congressional cycle. Large individual receipts still flowed to federal committees that filed in the window. The overlay lists recipients. This page names both sides: Baupost Group Inc and 2014.

Exclusions

Hedge-fund PACs, independent expenditures, and state gifts are outside $3,144,700. USAspending awards to financial firms are a different government file. Shared “group” or “capital” language is not a payment chain from these 75 lines to any award.

Unitemized gifts are absent. Two donor keys are FEC matching results, not a confirmed household size.

Citing Baupost Group Inc × 2014

Name the fund string and the midterm: Baupost Group Inc, 2014, $3,144,700, 75 contributions, 2 donors, 12.2% of $25,784,037, source FEC.gov. Keep Investor and Investments occupation pages out of the total. Keep other named funds out of the total. Keep PAC disbursements out of the total. The overlay is where the 75 lines’ recipients appear.

The industry hub holds $25,784,037 and other years. The 2014 election-cycle hub places a two-donor, 75-line fund key next to occupation labels with hundreds of donors. The ties index holds other joins. USAspending awards to financial firms are a different dataset. Shared “group” language is not a trail from these two donor keys to those awards. Two keys are matching results, not a confirmed household size.

Two donor keys and 75 lines can coexist with a 12.2% year share of $25,784,037 because other cycles hold the rest of the named-fund roll. Cite Baupost Group Inc × 2014 as $3,144,700, 75 contributions, 2 donors, about $41,929 per line. Do not call that AUM. Do not call it the Investor occupation total.
