Investments political contributions from Massachusetts

Investments and Massachusetts as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation INVESTMENTS and donor state MA produce $1,754,038, 1,828 contributions, and 180 donors. The occupation hub is $45,362,830, 31,959 contributions, and 3,656 donors. Massachusetts’s dollar share is about 3.9%; contribution share about 5.7% (1,828 of 31,959); donor share about 4.9% (180 of 3,656). One hundred eighty Massachusetts donors are about 4.9% of 3,656 national donors; 1,828 contributions are about 5.7% of 31,959 national rows; dollars are about 3.9% of $45,362,830.

INVESTOR, PORTFOLIO MANAGER, and INVESTMENT ADVISOR, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Investments total. Do not stack INVESTMENTS with INVESTOR or PORTFOLIO MANAGER into a single Massachusetts professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

180 Massachusetts donors produced 1,828 contributions, about 10.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 8.7 rows per donor nationally (31,959 contributions from 3,656 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Massachusetts cell is about $960, against about $1,419 nationwide. Massachusetts’s about 3.9% dollar share from 1,828 rows trails the 5.7% contribution share — a smaller-mean slice of a high-mean national occupation.

INVESTMENTS as a workplace-word string

INVESTMENTS is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a Series license, a fund, or an AUM figure. One word on the form is the filter. The $45,362,830 national total is INVESTMENTS only. 3,656 donors produced 31,959 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 31,959 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Massachusetts (MA). Three thousand six hundred fifty-six national donors make INVESTMENTS a mid-size occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state MA.

Massachusetts on the Investments state side

180 Massachusetts donors produced 1,828 contributions totaling $1,754,038. Donor state MA is the address on the record, not proof of a Massachusetts license, and not a limit to Massachusetts candidates. MA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Massachusetts fund, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,754,038.

The Massachusetts campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MA. This join is only INVESTMENTS. The Investments occupation hub without Massachusetts still holds about 96.1% of the $45,362,830. Massachusetts’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MA. INVESTMENTS is only this filter.

What the Investments–Massachusetts join is not

This page does not measure assets under management, merge investor dollars, or claim that Investments-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. INVESTMENTS is not INVESTOR even when filers meant a capital occupation. This cell is not the New Jersey Investments pair.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. INVESTMENTS is not a securities-license extract. Donor state MA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Fund names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Investments filter

Subtract the Massachusetts dollars on this page from the national INVESTMENTS occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded INVESTMENTS in every other state combined. That remainder ($43,608,792) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 180 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 1,828 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,754,038 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Massachusetts dollars, or only the INVESTMENTS national total, drops a key. One hundred eighty donors producing 1,828 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,754,038 headline.

Investments donations holds the $45,362,830 national occupation total. Massachusetts campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. New Jersey has a separate Investments occupation-state tie in this same slice; do not add those dollars here.
