Investment Management donations in the 2008 FEC cycle

Investment Management as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $1,255,972, 690 contributions, and 372 donors. 2008 is a two-word money-desk cell with a few hundred donors. The occupation hub rolls every cycle that used this spelling. The 2008 election-cycle hub rolls every occupation that filed that cycle. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

Investment Management is a two-word money-desk label as typed. Nearby strings — INVESTMENT MANAGER, FUND MANAGEMENT, ASSET MANAGEMENT, and INVESTMENTS — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $1,255,972 or $11,262,515. A filer who wrote Investment Manager sits in a different occupation hub.

2008’s dollar share is 11.2% ($1,255,972 of $11,262,515). The remainder sits in other cycles on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $1,255,972.

The Investment Management string across cycles

Under the exact label INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, harvested individual contributions sum to $11.3 million ($11,262,515). The 2008 cell is 11.2% of that occupation total. The FEC file does not verify RIA registration, a CFA charter, or a named-fund seat. A share in a presidential cycle is a slice, not proof that the remaining dollars sat in any particular other year. Those other years are not in this packet.

Investment Management is not an SEC registrant census and not a family-office directory. Open Investment Management donations for the $11,262,515 roll. Open the 2008 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures.

2008 receipts and donors

Inside the 2008 cell, 690 itemized contributions map to 372 donors. That is about 1.9 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $1,820; dollars per donor average about $3,376. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

Presidential-year volume can mix primary, general, and other receipts dated to 2008. This packet does not split $1,255,972 by those stages or by party. The 2008 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Investment Management row. 372 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2008, not a turnout figure.

How to read the two dollar columns

Keep $1,255,972 attached to 2008 and $11,262,515 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2008 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award, a research grant, or a USAspending obligation. Quote $1,255,972 with both nouns: Investment Management and 2008.

What the Investment Management–2008 join does not claim

Occupation labels are filer-entered. Investment Management is not an SEC registrant census and not a family-office directory. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $1.3 million. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

No motive, no vote, no ranking of occupations. Not a Form ADV roster, not a 13F, and not a fund AUM ranking. Use All occupations to compare other labels; use All FEC ties for other joins. 690 receipts and 372 donors are the volume facts for this join.

Questions

How much did investment management filers donate in 2008?

Filers who wrote Investment Management on FEC individual contribution records itemized $1,255,972 in the 2008 cycle, across 690 receipts from 372 donors. That cell is 11.2% of $11,262,515 harvested under the same exact occupation string. Nearby spellings are counted on other occupation pages.

Is Investment Management the same as Investment Manager?

No. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT is a two-word industry-or-desk stamp. Investment Manager, Fund Management, and Investments are other keys. Mixing them would invent a combined asset-management total that is not a packet fact. Figures are FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. Investment Management in 2008 is $1,255,972 on 690 receipts from 372 donors.

What is an occupation-cycle join on LobbyVault?

It is the overlap of one self-reported occupation key and one even-numbered FEC cycle. The occupation hub holds $11.3 million for this string across cycles. The cycle hub holds every occupation that filed in 2008. This page reports only the overlapping cell, $1.3 million, so the two dimensions are not restated as one table.

Does the 2008 Investment Management total include PACs or party committees?

$1,255,972 is an aggregate of individual contributions whose occupation field matches this string. It is not PAC independent spending, not committee-to-committee transfers, and not a party split. This packet has no party field. Open the Investment Management donations hub or the 2008 election cycle hub for committee-level rows.
