Does Fidelity Investments include FIDELITY?

Not in $517,746. Only FIDELITY INVESTMENTS is in this cell. FIDELITY, FMR, FIDELITY MGMT, and FIDELITY BROKERAGE are other keys unless they grouped to this exact string. LobbyVault does not merge them into a sector total on this page. Exact-match grouping is the method.

No. FEC individual contributions and USAspending awards do not fund each other in this dataset. $517,746 is Schedule A itemized giving grouped to FIDELITY INVESTMENTS. The packet publishes no award amount and no contract identifier. Cite FEC.gov. FIDELITY INVESTMENTS in 2008 is $517,746 on 589 itemized receipts from 234 donors; the all-cycle grouping is $10,182,560.

Fidelity Investments political money — 2008 cycle

589 itemized individual contributions from 234 donors sum to $517,746 for Fidelity Investments in the 2008 cycle on FEC.gov. That cell is the join of the employer string FIDELITY INVESTMENTS and the two-year 2008 window. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $10,182,560 (5.1% in this window). The page explains the relationship between those two dimensions; it is not a Fidelity PAC, an AUM figure, or a securities NAICS total.

Two keys: FIDELITY INVESTMENTS and 2008

Drop either key and the number changes. Drop 2008 and the Fidelity Investments hub shows $10,182,560. Drop Fidelity Investments and the 2008 hub shows every other stored employer for that window — a total this packet does not publish. Keep both keys and the extract returns $517,746 on 589 lines from 234 donors. Cite FEC.gov for the intersection; do not treat either hub as a substitute for the join.

FIDELITY INVESTMENTS is the stored employer. Short FIDELITY and FMR strings are other keys if they grouped separately. Exact string matching is the method. FIDELITY, FMR, FIDELITY MGMT, and FIDELITY BROKERAGE are not rolled into $517,746. LobbyVault does not recode filer text into NAICS. Cite FEC.gov.

Section 1 states the relationship. Later sections unpack the lifetime grouping, the receipt arithmetic, the two-year window, and the caveats. The overlay Fidelity Investments 2008 is the row view of this cell.

Lifetime Fidelity Investments dollars versus the 2008 slice

$10,182,560 minus $517,746 leaves $9,664,814 in other cycles, or 94.9% of the stored book. 5.1% is the 2008 share. A share is a quotient, not a trend claim. This packet has no prior-cycle dollar for comparison, so no percent change is stated. Other even-year amounts are not invented here.

$10,182,560 is not revenue, not assets, and not a political budget. It is the sum of itemized individual contributions that grouped to FIDELITY INVESTMENTS in this table. The Fidelity Investments hub is the place to see other years. This tie exists so 2008 is not swallowed by that lifetime figure.

Volume inside the Fidelity Investments 2008 cell

About $879 per contribution and about $2,213 per donor follow from dividing $517,746 by 589 and by 234. Lines per donor average about 2.5. High line counts relative to identities usually mean repeat gifts; low line counts can mean fewer repeats. Those readings are still arithmetic, not a donor strategy. They are not medians and not a party split.

This page does not name donors. 234 is a count. Retirees and relatives can share a stored workplace. Unitemized gifts are absent. PAC disbursements are a different FEC table and are not inside $517,746.

2008 is a two-year FEC tag

On FEC.gov, 2008 is a presidential cycle covering two calendar years. Searchers who want a single November figure will not find that split here. Both years of the window can feed $517,746. Dates live on the overlay, not in this snapshot. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number.

Caveats that travel with the dollars

The page is not a Fidelity PAC, an AUM figure, or a securities NAICS total. Sharing Fidelity Investments and 2008 does not create a federal award. USAspending is a different dataset. Do not add $517,746 to obligation totals. Do not treat $517,746 as proof of influence. A join is two fields. Independent expenditures and PAC disbursements remain outside this cell.

If FEC.gov or the live hubs later show a different $517,746, 589, or 234, the newer extract wins. Neighboring strings — FIDELITY, FMR, FIDELITY MGMT, and FIDELITY BROKERAGE — remain other pages. This file stays on one employer/industry grouping and one cycle.
