2010 FEC cycle — Investment Advisor occupation totals

Both filters: INVESTMENT ADVISOR and cycle 2010

The 2010 × Investment Advisor join is a database match, not a narrative about a profession. $549,093 entered the extract because itemized receipts carried occupation INVESTMENT ADVISOR and cycle 2010 at the same time. 498 is the matching line count. 247 is the matching donor-key count. $17,194,878 is what remains when the cycle filter is lifted for the same occupation string.

Dividing $549,093 by 498 yields about $1,103 per contribution. Dividing by 247 yields about $2,223 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.0 (498 ÷ 247). Those ratios describe this string in 2010, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

Occupation is not a license check. INVESTMENT ADVISOR uses the -or spelling as typed. Investment Adviser with -er is a different key if stored separately. Registration is not verified. Independent expenditures and USAspending tables do not feed $549,093. Source: FEC.gov.

How FEC stores Investment Advisor as an occupation

What the occupation side includes: itemized individual receipts tagged INVESTMENT ADVISOR, summing to $17,194,878 across harvested cycles, of which $549,093 is the 2010 cell. What it excludes: other occupation strings, unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee filings that are not individual contribution aggregates.

Mean about $2,223 per donor in 2010 should be quoted with both inputs ($549,093 and 247). Dropping 247 turns the mean into an unsourced claim. INVESTMENT ADVISOR uses the -or spelling as typed. Investment Adviser with -er is a different key if stored separately. Registration is not verified.

Per-gift and per-donor dollars in 2010

About $1,103 per contribution is $549,093 divided by 498. About $2,223 per donor is $549,093 divided by 247. About 2.0 gifts per donor is 498 divided by 247. Three ratios, three jobs. Dropping any input turns the ratio into an unsourced claim.

2010 as a midterm cycle dates the window. Live occupation hubs can move as amended individual reports arrive. If a live hub disagrees with $549,093 or $17,194,878, the newer FEC extract controls.

$549,093 versus $17,194,878

Never write that Investment Advisor gave $17,194,878 in 2010. $17,194,878 is the all-cycle occupation total. Never write that the occupation’s only year is 2010 unless 3.2% is 100%, which it is not here. $549,093 is the 2010 cell. The two columns are labeled cycleTotal and occupationTotal in the packet for that reason.

3.2% is the only legitimate bridge between the columns. It is a quotient, not a second source. Independent expenditures still sit outside both columns.

FEC receipts are not federal awards

USAspending publishes federal obligations by agency and place. FEC publishes campaign finance. $549,093 does not become an award total because a year appears in both systems. $17,194,878 does not become an award total because an occupation string can be compared with a NAICS title in a researcher’s head. This page never claims receipts funded federal awards.

Internal links remain the four packet hrefs only. No other path is cited. Independent expenditures remain outside the dollar columns used here. INVESTMENT ADVISOR uses the -or spelling as typed. Investment Adviser with -er is a different key if stored separately. Registration is not verified.

Why this page is not a Investment Advisor directory

This page is not a directory of Investment Advisor professionals, not a membership list, and not an SEC RIA census, a FINRA representative file, or a firm AUM roster. 247 is a donor-key count inside one FEC aggregate. Most people who use a similar job title never appear in $549,093.

The four packet links are the only hrefs used: Investment Advisor donations, the 2010 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties. No other URL is cited. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Investment Advisor, cycle 2010, $549,093 itemized, 498 contributions, 247 donors, 3.2% of $17,194,878. INVESTMENT ADVISOR uses the -or spelling as typed. Investment Adviser with -er is a different key if stored separately. Registration is not verified. Financial Advisor, Wealth Manager, Investment Adviser, and Broker stay on other occupation pages. The 2010 election cycle hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

What a reader may not do with $549,093: treat it as payroll, treat 247 as a workforce census, treat 3.2% as a share of 2010 national receipts, or treat the cell as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links. Mean about $1,103 per contribution and $2,223 per donor remain attached to 498 and 247. About 2.0 lines per donor remains 498 divided by 247.
