Investments meeting the 2012 election cycle
2012 is a presidential federal cycle on the FEC calendar. Intersecting the Investments occupation grouping with that year produces $5,080,778, 2,125 lines, and 1,063 donor keys. Those three figures are the join. The occupation hub still holds $45,362,830 across all cycles in the aggregate. This page does not restate that hub without the year filter.
About $4,780 per donor ($5,080,778 ÷ 1,063) and about $2,391 per contribution ($5,080,778 ÷ 2,125) describe this string in 2012. Lines per donor average about 2.0 (2,125 ÷ 1,063). Those ratios are arithmetic on the packet, not typical gifts and not a unique-person audit. Repeat givers raise the line count.
The 2012 election-cycle hub places Investments beside other occupation keys that year. Neither that hub nor this tie converts $5,080,778 into a civic-engagement score. Named employers who share a workplace with people in this cell sit in industry rows if the legal name was used instead of the occupation word.
11.2% of the Investments all-cycle grouping
11.2% is $5,080,778 divided by $45,362,830. The leftover $40,282,052 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. A 11.2% year share is a piece of this grouping’s recorded history, not a ranked list of peak years — other years’ amounts are not in this packet except as that residual.
Presidential solicitation volume can lift itemized counts. 2,125 lines still describe only receipts tagged Investments in 2012. The packet does not publish committee names inside the cell; those live on the occupation and cycle overlays. Do not treat 11.2% as proof that 2012 was this occupation’s largest year in every dataset.
Investments is a plural noun, not the Investor key
INVESTMENTS is a distinct occupation grouping from INVESTOR and INVESTMENT MANAGER. FEC.gov stores what filers typed. Mixing the three keys would blur donor counts. Named funds used as employer sit in industry rows.
A person who typed Investments as a job or industry word is in this cell. A person who typed Investor is not added here. This page does not recode AUM or license status. The Investments string is the filter.
What Investments money in this cycle is not
The cell is not a fund PAC and not a rollup of all finance occupation keys. Independent expenditures about securities legislation are other FEC objects.
USAspending awards to asset managers are a different dataset. This join does not claim that Investments-coded gifts funded those awards. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Motive is outside the packet.
Pages that keep Investments and 2012 apart
The Investments occupation page holds $45,362,830 and other years. The 2012 election-cycle page holds that year’s occupation list. All occupations ranks neighboring job strings. All FEC ties lists other occupation–cycle pages so this cell is not mistaken for an industry–PAC join.
Keep both sides of the name — Investments and 2012 — whenever $5,080,778 is quoted. Cite 2,125 contributions, 1,063 donors, 11.2% of $45,362,830, and FEC.gov. Do not convert 1,063 keys into licensed or enrolled people. Do not fold USAspending into the cell.
How to cite Investments × 2012
A complete claim names Investments and 2012, then $5,080,778, 2,125 contributions, 1,063 donors, and 11.2% of $45,362,830, source FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts stay omitted. Independent expenditures stay omitted. Federal awards that mention a similar profession stay omitted.
The 1,063-donor count is the net of filing choices in 2012: people who typed Investments increased the cell; people who typed a firm name or a neighboring title reduced it. $5,080,778 and the 11.2% share travel with that net. They do not travel with a licensing board, a union roster, or a USAspending file. Quote the occupation hub for $45,362,830 and other cycles.
2012 remains a presidential federal cycle. That calendar fact does not add dollars. The join stops at itemized individual receipts tagged Investments in 2012: $5,080,778 on 2,125 lines from 1,063 donors. About $2,391 per line and $4,780 per donor are means, not typical gifts. Repeat filers can sit in the 2,125 without raising unique people above 1,063.
Committee-level rows inside the Investments cell are on the occupation and cycle tables, not restated here. Quote both sides of the join so a neighboring title string is not treated as this URL.
