Investment Manager receipts joined to the 2014 FEC cycle

Two keys, one cell: INVESTMENT MANAGER and 2014

This page filters FEC individual contributions on two fields at once: occupation = INVESTMENT MANAGER, cycle = 2014. The surviving dollars are $1,493,714. The surviving rows are 649. The surviving unique donors are 287. Unitemized receipts never carry a published occupation in this roll-up, so they never enter $1,493,714.

$23,820,299 is the occupation total on the extract, including other cycles not shown as headline figures here. 6.3% of that occupation total is the 2014 cell. That percentage is $1,493,714 divided by $23,820,299. It is not a share of all federal receipts and not a share of every 2014 donor. Use Investment Manager donations and 2014 election cycle for the unjoined tables.

Holding the occupation hub next to the 2014 cell

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 2014. $1,493,714 is the 2014 slice (6.3%). 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.

Employer is a different Schedule A field. This join does not group by employer, so $23,820,299 is not a company total and not an industry PAC total. An Investment Manager who listed a large employer still sits in the occupation string, not in an employer roll-up on this page. Cite employer pages separately if you need that cut.

How 2014 sits beside other even-year cycles

The 2014 value is the FEC two-year election cycle that closes on the 2014 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 $1,493,714 on 649 contributions from 287 donors.

State and local campaigns that never file with the FEC are outside $1,493,714. Independent expenditures are outside $1,493,714. Committee-to-committee transfers are outside this individual-contribution join. Keep the noun attached: itemized individual contributions with occupation INVESTMENT MANAGER in cycle 2014.

287 donors and 649 lines in the same cell

649 contributions and 287 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. 649 divided by 287 is the mean lines per donor in this cell; $1,493,714 divided by 287 is about $5,205 per donor; $1,493,714 divided by 649 is about $2,302 per line. Means are not medians. Large gifts pull the mean up. The packet does not publish a median.

Zero is not in this packet for any of the three measures. Do not write that most Investment Manager filers sat out 2014; non-givers never appear in contribution files. 287 is the count of people who itemized with this string in this cycle, not the count of people in the occupation.

A complete citation names occupation INVESTMENT MANAGER, cycle 2014, dollars $1,493,714, contribution lines 649, and unique donors 287. 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 649 as people. Keep all five tokens.

Source notes for the INVESTMENT MANAGER × 2014 cell

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 2014.

Amended reports, refunds, and memo reattribution can change disclosed totals after a snapshot. If the hubs disagree with this JSON, quote the hubs. The source note on this file is FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle.

Questions

What did people listing Investment Manager disclose in 2014?

Itemized individual contributions with occupation INVESTMENT MANAGER total $1,493,714 in the 2014 FEC cycle. LobbyVault counts 649 contributions and 287 unique donors in that cell. The occupation-wide total for the same string on this extract is $23,820,299, so 2014 is 6.3% of that roll-up. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Labels are filer-entered.

Is this page the same as the Investment Manager occupation hub?

No. $1,493,714 is the 2014 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 2014 election cycle. Adding other cycles here would invent dollars the packet does not list.

Does each contribution equal one Investment Manager donor?

The join lists 287 unique donors and 649 contribution lines for INVESTMENT MANAGER in 2014. A person can give more than once, so lines exceed donors. About $5,205 per donor and $2,302 per line are means from $1,493,714, not medians and not typical gifts. Name matching can split or merge people. This is not a job-census headcount.

Can I treat Investment Manager as a NAICS or BLS group?

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.
