Investment Banking political money — 2014 cycle

The Investment Banking × 2014 intersection

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string INVESTMENT BANKING. The other is the 2014 federal election cycle. The match is $236,382, built from 199 contributions and 109 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. 2014 is a midterm FEC window. 199 contributions from 109 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation.

The join is a filter pair, not a causal story. INVESTMENT BANKING is a function noun used as occupation, not the person-title INVESTMENT BANKER. Those remain separate keys. The join does not verify desk, Series registrations, or employer. A function word on a contribution is not a bank’s committee spending. Firm PACs stay outside this occupation-cycle filter. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and committee-to-committee transfers are outside $236,382. FEC individual receipts are not USAspending.gov awards; this page does not treat campaign gifts as federal spending.

The Investment Banking occupation hub behind $6,137,543

Investment Banking donations is the occupation hub: $6,137,543 ($6.1 million) across cycles from filers who typed INVESTMENT BANKING. Sibling strings (INVESTMENT BANKER, BANKER, and FINANCE) are not merged here. The occupation total is not a bulge-bracket revenue figure, a FINRA census, or a bank PAC.

2014’s $236,382 sits inside $6,137,543. Because 3.9% is the cycle’s share of occupation dollars, the leftover outside 2014 is $5,901,161 (96.1%). Open the occupation hub for the all-cycle table. This tie keeps 2014 as the second dimension.

2014 as the cycle side of the Investment Banking join

The 2014 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Investment Banking. $236,382 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2014. A midterm FEC window. It is not a 2012 presidential window and not a later presidential cycle.

199 contributions from 109 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation. About 1.8 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $1,188; mean per donor about $2,169. Those means are arithmetic on the 2014 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $236,382.

Caveats on INVESTMENT BANKING in 2014

Matching Investment Banking with 2014 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Investment Banking donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a bulge-bracket revenue figure, a FINRA census, or a bank PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. INVESTMENT BANKING is a function noun used as occupation, not the person-title INVESTMENT BANKER. Those remain separate keys. The join does not verify desk, Series registrations, or employer. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $236,382 funded USAspending obligations.

Linked Investment Banking and 2014 tables

Investment Banking donations holds the $6,137,543 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Investment Banking. All occupations places INVESTMENT BANKING beside other titles without merging sibling strings (INVESTMENT BANKER, BANKER, and FINANCE). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $236,382 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Investment Banking dollars ($6,137,543). Use the 2014 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $236,382, 199 contributions, 109 donors, 3.9% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

How $236,382 sits under $6,137,543

Subtract $236,382 from $6,137,543 and the residual is $5,901,161 in other even-year cycles for the same occupation string, not a different title. 3.9% in 2014 leaves 96.1% of Investment Banking dollars outside this page.

Do not treat the residual as a named year. This packet only publishes 2014 as the cycle dimension. The occupation hub is the place for the full $6,137,543 series.
