Citadel Investment Group and the 2008 FEC election cycle

Citadel Investment Group crossed with 2008

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Citadel Investment Group and 2008 — sum to $255,355. 126 itemized contributions and 66 unique donors produced it. 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 Citadel Investment Group hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Sixty-six donors and 126 Citadel Investment Group lines in 2008 sit under the three-word stored name. A shorter CITADEL key is a neighbor if filers omitted Investment Group. The 2008 cell is $255,355 of a $39,678,815 all-cycle roll, so most of the grouping lives in other even-year windows. Assets under management are not this table. CITADEL, CITADEL LLC, CITADEL SECURITIES, and generic HEDGE FUND or TRADER occupation strings are other keys.

0.6% of the Citadel Investment Group roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $39,678,815 ($39.7 million). The 2008 slice of $255,355 is about 0.6% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 99.4%. Treating 2008 as the Citadel Investment Group FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $39,678,815 as the denominator for the 0.6% 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 $39,678,815.

126 contributions from 66 donors

Dividing $255,355 by 126 contributions yields about $2,027 per itemized gift. Dividing by 66 donors yields about $3,869 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 1.9. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

66 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Citadel Investment Group 2008 holds the rows.

2008 as the cycle dimension

The 2008 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Citadel Investment Group is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2008 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Citadel Investment Group to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $255,355 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 126 contributions, the 66 unique donors, and the 0.6% share of $39,678,815.

Limits of the Citadel Investment Group × 2008 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $255,355. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is not a securities NAICS total and not a Citadel PAC.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 66 donors, and 126 contributions. CITADEL, CITADEL LLC, CITADEL SECURITIES, and generic HEDGE FUND or TRADER occupation strings are other keys. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing Citadel Investment Group and 2008 together

Start with $255,355, then Citadel Investment Group 2008 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2008 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Citadel Investment Group, 2008, $255,355, 126 contributions, 66 donors, 0.6% of $39,678,815, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 0.6% share, the 66-donor count, and the $2,027 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.
