Investments Advisor money in the 2012 FEC cycle

$1,001,158 in itemized individual contributions is the FEC.gov join between the occupation INVESTMENTS ADVISOR and the 2012 election cycle. That cell covers 172 contributions from 80 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $5,102,747, so 2012 is 19.6% of the labeled roll. This page is the occupation-and-cycle match, not an RIA census, a Form ADV file, or a FINRA registered-rep roster.

Key figures

  • $1,001,158 tagged Investments Advisor in the 2012 FEC cycle.
  • 172 contributions from 80 donors; about $5,821 per contribution.
  • 2012 is 19.6% of the occupation’s $5,102,747 all-cycle total.
  • Occupation string, not a license census, firm PAC, or USAspending award file.
  • Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by occupation and cycle.

Investments Advisor as occupation, 2012 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation INVESTMENTS ADVISOR and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $1,001,158, 172 contributions, and 80 donors. INVESTMENTS ADVISOR in 2012 is a plural-noun spelling. FEC.gov does not recode it to Investment Advisor. The occupation hub is $5,102,747 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2012 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2012’s dollar share is 19.6% ($1,001,158 of $5,102,747). The remainder, $4,101,589, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. Eighty donor keys and 172 lines carrying about a million dollars is a concentrated advisory cell with a high mean. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $1,001,158.

The plural spelling across every cycle on file

$5,102,747 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2012. Investment Advisor, Financial Advisor, and Investments are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $5,102,747 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Investments Advisor donations for the $5,102,747 roll. Open the 2012 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures.

80 donors and a high mean gift

Dividing $1,001,158 by 172 contributions yields about $5,821 per gift. Dividing by 80 donors yields about $12,514 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.1 (172 ÷ 80). Those ratios describe this string in 2012, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

80 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2012. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 80 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2012 receipts beside this cell. Investment Advisor (singular) is a different spelling if stored separately. This join keeps the plural INVESTMENTS ADVISOR string.

What Investments Advisor dollars in 2012 are not

A 19.6% share of Investments Advisor-coded dollars from 2012 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2012 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $1,001,158 as itemized individual receipts tagged INVESTMENTS ADVISOR in 2012, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Investments Advisor × 2012

A complete claim names Investments Advisor and 2012, then $1,001,158, 172 contributions, 80 donors, and 19.6% of $5,102,747, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 80 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Investments Advisor and 2012—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $5,821 and mean per donor $12,514 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2012 hub, and Investment Advisor as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $4,101,589 outside 2012. Most of the $5,102,747 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Investment Advisor, Financial Advisor, and Investments are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of INVESTMENTS ADVISOR on this page. Gifts per donor in 2012 average about 2.1. That ratio is 172 divided by 80, not a measure of turnout.
