Investment Advisor political contributions from Pennsylvania

A dollar-heavy Pennsylvania cell

Filter FEC individual receipts to occupation INVESTMENT ADVISOR and contributor state Pennsylvania and the dollars are $4,039,112. That is about 23% of $17,194,878 nationally. Pennsylvania’s 348 contributions are about 2% of 18,694. Its 64 donors are about 4% of 1,619. Dollars and activity counts diverge sharply: a small set of itemized gifts carries nearly a quarter of the label’s money.

Average itemized gift in the Pennsylvania slice is about $11,607 ($4,039,112 / 348). That average describes this filter. It is not a typical account-fee or a typical political gift for everyone who advises on investments in the state.

Three hundred forty-eight Pennsylvania INVESTMENT ADVISOR gifts are about 2% of 18,694 nationally. Sixty-four of 1,619 donors is about 4%. Dollars ($4,039,112 of $17,194,878) are about 23%. Activity share and dollar share disagree on purpose; that disagreement is the join. INVESTMENTS as one word is a different occupation.

INVESTMENT ADVISOR nationwide

One thousand six hundred nineteen donors used INVESTMENT ADVISOR on receipts totaling $17,194,878 across 18,694 gifts. The phrase can look like a regulated job title; on FEC forms it is still free text. The Commission does not match filers to SEC or state adviser registrations.

Investments, investor, and banker are neighboring strings with their own pages. This join does not add them. Most INVESTMENT ADVISOR donors (1,619 minus 64) and receipts (18,694 minus 348) sit outside Pennsylvania even while the state holds about 23% of dollars.

Sixty-four Pennsylvania donors

Sixty-four unique Pennsylvania donors produced 348 INVESTMENT ADVISOR-tagged contributions totaling $4,039,112. Repeat itemization is present but the dollar mass rests on large checks. The Pennsylvania campaign-finance hub places this title beside laborer and other PA occupations so a finance string is not mistaken for the state’s overall giving pattern.

Contributor state is the address on the receipt. An adviser to Pennsylvania clients who files from another state is absent. A Pennsylvania address with this occupation string is enough for the $4,039,112.

LABORER in Pennsylvania is the high-volume trades counterpart on the same state hub. INVESTMENT ADVISOR is the low-volume finance counterpart. They should not be blended into a Pennsylvania giving story. Each join is two columns: this string, this state, these three numbers.

What the join refuses to claim

Occupation did not cause the contributions, and the contributions are not a measure of assets under management. The table does not map dollars to Pennsylvania candidates. $4,039,112 is labeled itemized individual giving under two FEC fields.

A licensed-sounding title the FEC does not license

Pennsylvania INVESTMENT ADVISOR at $4,039,112 from 64 donors and 348 gifts is about 23% of $17,194,878 nationally and about 2% of 18,694 contributions. Average gift about $11,607. That is a concentration cell in a mid-size finance string, not an SEC registration list. INVESTMENTS (the one-word shorthand) has separate NC, TX, and IL joins and a $45,362,830 national total — a different bucket.

Sixty-four donors producing 348 receipts means repeat giving exists, but dollars are still check size. The occupation’s other 1,555 donors (1,619 minus 64) and 18,346 gifts sit outside Pennsylvania and account for $17,194,878 minus $4,039,112.

Sixty-four Pennsylvania donors, 348 gifts, $4,039,112, about 23% of $17,194,878 and about 2% of 18,694 contributions. Average gift about $11,607. SEC registration is not checked. INVESTMENTS as a one-word shorthand is a different occupation with other state ties. LABORER in Pennsylvania is the high-volume counterpart on the same state hub. Keep the finance concentration cell on its own three numbers.

Questions

How much did Pennsylvania Investment Advisor donors give in FEC data?

Donors listing occupation INVESTMENT ADVISOR with a Pennsylvania address reported $4,039,112 in itemized individual contributions, from 64 donors and 348 receipts. That is about 23% of the occupation’s national $17,194,878 but about 2% of its 18,694 contributions. The join is not a roster of registered advisers.

Why so few contributions for so much money?

Pennsylvania has 348 of 18,694 INVESTMENT ADVISOR contributions and $4,039,112 of $17,194,878. Average itemized gift in the join is about $11,607. A small number of large receipts raises dollar share far above receipt share. That is a property of the filter, not a typical gift size for the occupation.

Are these SEC-registered investment advisers?

The FEC does not certify registration. INVESTMENT ADVISOR is a filer-entered string used by 1,619 donors nationally totaling $17,194,878. This Pennsylvania page reports the subset with contributor state PA: 64 donors, 348 gifts, $4,039,112.

Did the money go to Pennsylvania candidates?

The join does not map recipients. It filters donor state Pennsylvania and occupation INVESTMENT ADVISOR. A Pennsylvania-addressed donor can give to any FEC committee. Committee receipts are required to trace the $4,039,112 The packet totals for this join remain the occupation–state filter described above, with no extra dollar figures beyond those facts.
