Investment Manager and the 2010 election cycle on FEC.gov

The relationship: Investment Manager receipts inside 2010

The headline number is $1,442,731 ($1.4 million) for Investment Manager in 2010. Share of the occupation extract: 6.1% of $23,820,299. Contribution rows: 710. Unique donors: 352. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered, so spelling, punctuation, and job-title fashion all split people across keys.

A join is not a causal story. 710 lines in 2010 do not prove that Investment Manager as a labor category moved a race. They prove that this many itemized receipts carried this string in this cycle window. Open Investment Manager donations for the all-cycle occupation table, 2010 election cycle for the cycle table, all occupations for sibling strings, and all FEC ties for other two-dimension pages.

$23,820,299 is the all-cycle Investment Manager figure

The occupation-wide total for INVESTMENT MANAGER on this extract is $23,820,299 ($23.8 million). That figure includes every indexed cycle for the same string, not only 2010. $1,442,731 is the 2010 slice (6.1%). INVESTMENT MANAGER is a job-title string, distinct from PORTFOLIO MANAGER, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, FINANCIAL ADVISOR, and INVESTOR. Those are separate occupation keys. The join does not assign a Series 7, a fund AUM, or an employer from the title alone.

Sibling titles are not in $23,820,299 unless the filer typed INVESTMENT MANAGER exactly. That is why all occupations exists: so a reader can see neighboring strings without folding them into Investment Manager. Folding them here would invent a cluster the FEC field does not contain. Keep $23,820,299 attached to this string only.

Cycle 2010 as a filter on Investment Manager receipts

The 2010 value is the FEC two-year election cycle that closes on the 2010 federal election calendar. It is a reporting window on individual contribution records, not a single Election Day total and not a count of offices on the ballot. Receipts dated inside that cycle window stay here; receipts dated in another even-year cycle sit on that other join. Inside that window, Investment Manager accounts for $1,442,731 on 710 contributions from 352 donors.

Amended filings can move a receipt across a cycle boundary or change an occupation string. If FEC.gov later shows a different 2010 total for INVESTMENT MANAGER, the live hubs win. This JSON is a packet snapshot. Rewrite the cycle sentence when the extract moves; do not average old and new cells.

How to cite the 2010 donor and line counts

710 contributions and 352 donors describe different units. A row is an itemized receipt line. A donor is a unique person inside this occupation–cycle filter as LobbyVault matches names. 710 divided by 352 is the mean lines per donor in this cell; $1,442,731 divided by 352 is about $4,099 per donor; $1,442,731 divided by 710 is about $2,032 per line. Means are not medians. Large gifts pull the mean up. The packet does not publish a median.

If a later extract changes only the unique-donor count, keep $1,442,731 and 710 unless those moved too. The three measures can move independently when matching rules change. This page will not invent a fourth measure such as households or zip clusters.

A complete citation names occupation INVESTMENT MANAGER, cycle 2010, dollars $1,442,731, contribution lines 710, and unique donors 352. Omitting the occupation string makes the cycle look occupation-wide. Omitting the cycle makes the occupation hub look like a single-year figure. Omitting the donor count invites a reader to treat 710 as people. Keep all five tokens.

How to cite the join without overclaiming

This page is not a claim that donations fund federal spending. FEC individual contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets. The join here is occupation × cycle inside FEC.gov only. It is not a ranking of occupations, not medical or political advice, and not a statement that Investment Manager as a profession acted in concert in 2010.

Do not recode INVESTMENT MANAGER into an industry, a union, a PAC, or a NAICS sector on the strength of this page. Industry joins are other packets. PAC joins are other packets. This one stops at occupation and cycle. $1,442,731, 710, 352, $23,820,299, and 2010 are the usable figures.

Questions

How much Investment Manager money shows up in 2010 on FEC.gov?

Itemized individual contributions with occupation INVESTMENT MANAGER total $1,442,731 in the 2010 FEC cycle. LobbyVault counts 710 contributions and 352 unique donors in that cell. The occupation-wide total for the same string on this extract is $23,820,299, so 2010 is 6.1% of that roll-up. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Labels are filer-entered.

How does $1,442,731 relate to $23,820,299?

No. $1,442,731 is the 2010 slice only. The occupation hub still shows $23,820,299 across the extract. This page is a join: occupation string plus even-year cycle. It is not a restatement of Investment Manager donations and not a restatement of 2010 election cycle. Adding other cycles here would invent dollars the packet does not list.

What do 352 donors and 710 lines mean?

The join lists 352 unique donors and 710 contribution lines for INVESTMENT MANAGER in 2010. A person can give more than once, so lines exceed donors. About $4,099 per donor and $2,032 per line are means from $1,442,731, not medians and not typical gifts. Name matching can split or merge people. This is not a job-census headcount.

Is INVESTMENT MANAGER a recoded occupation category?

No. The filter is the exact occupation string INVESTMENT MANAGER as filers typed it. Nearby titles stay on other keys listed under all occupations. The string is not a NAICS code, not a BLS occupation, and not a PAC. See Investment Manager donations for this key’s all-cycle table and all FEC ties for other joins. Cite FEC.gov.
