Investments donations in the 2010 FEC cycle

Investments as a label, 2010 as a cycle

Occupation equals INVESTMENTS and cycle equals 2010: the overlap is $1,719,815. Investor, private investor, and investment banker are other keys. This page does not add those finance titles together.

A 3.8% share of a $45.4 million bucket is a midterm slice of a large, vague string. Parent hubs: Investments donations and the 2010 election cycle. All FEC ties keeps the noun-as-title cell distinct from banker and advisor joins.

The occupation hub for Investments lists $45.4 million ($45,362,830) under the exact string INVESTMENTS. The 2010 election-cycle hub is a different cut: every occupation that filed in 2010, not only this label. This ties page is the cell where those two filters meet. All occupations and All FEC ties keep sibling joins in the same directory so a reader can move without mixing totals.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Investments in 2010 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $1.7 million. The occupation page and the 2010 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees and other cuts.

A noun in the occupation box

$45.4 million ($45,362,830) under INVESTMENTS is large because the word is common and imprecise. It is not assets under management and not a brokerage census. People who wrote investor or retired investor (if those strings exist) are other rows.

The 2010 slice is 3.8% of that noun bucket. Other cycle amounts are not in this packet and are not invented here.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $1,719,815. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $45,362,830. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Investments donations and the live 2010 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot.

Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $1,719,815. If a later harvest revises 1,261 or 652, revise the volume sentence and leave the occupation rollup ($45,362,830) unchanged unless that rollup moved too.

652 donors behind $1.7 million

652 donors and 1,261 receipts — about 1.9 lines per donor. Mean per donor about $2,638; mean per receipt about $1,364. A 652-donor file with a $2,638 mean can be top-heavy. No median is provided.

Midterm receipts can still include committees from adjacent presidential years. This packet does not split $1,719,815 by office or party.

1,261 is a receipt count. 652 is a distinct-donor count inside this occupation-cycle cell. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by the string. People who left the occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $1.7 million.

Do not upgrade the noun to an industry

Cite $1,719,815 as Investments in 2010, a filer-entered occupation word. Cite $45,362,830 as that word’s occupation total. Do not call either figure the securities industry’s political money.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. All occupations lists neighboring finance strings.

Dividing $1,719,815 by 1,261 receipts yields about $1,364 per line. Dividing by 652 donors yields about $2,638 per person in the cell. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income.

Not a holdings disclosure

Investments does not mean the filer disclosed a portfolio, a fund, or a 13F. It means the occupation box said INVESTMENTS. Personal financial disclosure forms for candidates are a different system.

No party split, no ranking of finance jobs. 1,261 receipts and 652 donors are the volume facts for this join.

FEC.gov individual contribution files carry the occupation as the filer typed it. This join does not recode INVESTMENTS into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a medical-board specialty. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string and do the mapping themselves.
