Investment Management political contributions in the 2012 FEC cycle

Investment Management and the 2012 cycle as two FEC filters

Occupation INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT and cycle 2012 produce $2,102,445, 658 contributions, and 365 donors. The occupation nationwide across cycles is $11,262,515. Dollar share for 2012 is 18.7%. 658 contributions from 365 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation. Contribution count is not a headcount of people who hold the job.

The join is a filter pair, not a causal story. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT is the two-word occupation. INVESTMENTS as a noun is a different page. The join is not a Form ADV AUM figure. LobbyVault does not merge those sibling strings. The 2012 cycle is an even-year FEC window, a presidential-year cycle in federal itemized receipts. This page does not add 2010 or 2014 dollars into the 2012 total. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and committee-to-committee transfers are outside $2,102,445.

18.7% of $11,262,515 is $2,102,445. That arithmetic uses only the occupation total and the cycle total in this packet. It is not a forecast and not a party split. Recipient committees may be anywhere; cycle is the FEC even-year window, not the donor’s state.

Investment Management as an occupation string

Investment Management donations is the occupation hub: $11,262,515 across cycles from filers who typed INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT. Sibling strings (INVESTMENTS, INVESTMENT MANAGER, and PRIVATE EQUITY) are not merged here. The occupation total is not an RIA AUM total, an SEC adviser census, or a merge with INVESTMENTS.

The 2012 cycle filter on Investment Management receipts

The 2012 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Investment Management. $2,102,445 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2012. It is not a 2010 or 2014 midterm-year filter.

658 contributions from 365 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation. The page does not publish an average gift. $2,102,445, 658, and 365 are the three cycle-side facts. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $2,102,445. Committee disbursements and independent expenditures are a different FEC schedule and are not a second way to count $2,102,445. Three numbers define the Investment Management × 2012 cell: dollars $2,102,445, contribution rows 658, unique donors 365. Share of occupation dollars is 18.7% of $11,262,515.

What the Investment Management–2012 join is not

Matching Investment Management with 2012 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Investment Management donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not an RIA AUM total, an SEC adviser census, or a merge with INVESTMENTS.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT is the two-word occupation. INVESTMENTS as a noun is a different page. The join is not a Form ADV AUM figure. LobbyVault does not merge those sibling strings. This join does not publish a party split, a recipient-committee list, or employer text.

Linked Investment Management and 2012 pages

Investment Management donations holds the $11,262,515 occupation total. The 2012 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Investment Management. All occupations places INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT beside other titles without merging sibling strings (INVESTMENTS, INVESTMENT MANAGER, and PRIVATE EQUITY). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $2,102,445 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Investment Management dollars ($11,262,515). Use the 2012 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $2,102,445, 658 contributions, 365 donors, 18.7% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use: Investment Management donations, the 2012 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties.

Investment Management 2012 as a dollar-share slice

2012 is a large slice of the Investment Management occupation dollars: 18.7% of $11,262,515 falls in this cycle ($2,102,445). That share is a cycle weight, not a claim that Investment Management giving peaked for a stated reason. $2.1 million is the same fact as $2,102,445 rounded to one decimal million, not a second extract. Do not add INVESTMENTS dollars into $2,102,445.

Researchers who need employer text or recipient committees should leave this join and open the Investment Management donations table. The 2012 cycle page is the even-year inventory. FEC.gov remains the controlling filing if extracts diverge.
