Investor political money in the 2012 election cycle

Investor meeting the 2012 election cycle

2012 is a presidential federal cycle on the FEC calendar. Intersecting the Investor occupation grouping with that year produces $16,733,214, 6,459 lines, and 2,841 donor keys. Those three figures are the join. The occupation hub still holds $135,613,491 across all cycles in the aggregate. This page does not restate that hub without the year filter.

About $5,890 per donor ($16,733,214 ÷ 2,841) and about $2,591 per contribution ($16,733,214 ÷ 6,459) describe this string in 2012. Lines per donor average about 2.3 (6,459 ÷ 2,841). 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 Investor beside other occupation keys that year. Neither that hub nor this tie converts $16,733,214 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.

12.3% of the Investor all-cycle grouping

12.3% is $16,733,214 divided by $135,613,491. The leftover $118,880,277 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. A 12.3% 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. 6,459 lines still describe only receipts tagged Investor in 2012. The packet does not publish committee names inside the cell; those live on the occupation and cycle overlays. Do not treat 12.3% as proof that 2012 was this occupation’s largest year in every dataset.

Investor is a typed label, not a license

FEC.gov does not verify that a filer who typed INVESTOR manages a portfolio, holds a Series license, or belongs to any trade group. The grouping is whatever occupation text grouped to this key. Named funds, family offices, and bank titles sit in other rows if those words were used instead.

INVESTMENTS and INVESTMENT MANAGER are neighboring occupation keys when indexed. Mixing them with INVESTOR would blur donor counts. This page stays on the Investor string. A retired person who typed Investor is in; a fund employee who typed the firm name is usually out.

What Investor money in this cycle is not

The cell is not a census of high-net-worth households, not a hedge-fund PAC, and not independent expenditures about financial legislation. SEC Form ADV headcounts and FINRA registries do not feed this aggregate.

USAspending awards to asset managers are a different dataset. This join does not claim that Investor-coded gifts funded federal financial awards. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Motive is outside the packet.

Pages that keep Investor and 2012 apart

The Investor occupation page holds $135,613,491 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 — Investor and 2012 — whenever $16,733,214 is quoted. Cite 6,459 contributions, 2,841 donors, 12.3% of $135,613,491, and FEC.gov. Do not convert 2,841 keys into licensed or enrolled people. Do not fold USAspending into the cell.

How to cite Investor × 2012

A complete claim names Investor and 2012, then $16,733,214, 6,459 contributions, 2,841 donors, and 12.3% of $135,613,491, 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 2,841-donor count is the net of filing choices in 2012: people who typed Investor increased the cell; people who typed a firm name or a neighboring title reduced it. $16,733,214 and the 12.3% 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 $135,613,491 and other cycles.

2012 remains a presidential federal cycle. That calendar fact does not add dollars. The join stops at itemized individual receipts tagged Investor in 2012: $16,733,214 on 6,459 lines from 2,841 donors. About $2,591 per line and $5,890 per donor are means, not typical gifts. Repeat filers can sit in the 6,459 without raising unique people above 2,841.

Questions

How much did Investor-tagged donors give in 2012?

What share of the Investor grouping is 2012?

12.3%: $16,733,214 of $135,613,491. Other years’ amounts are not listed in this packet except as the leftover $118,880,277 on the occupation hub. A year share is not a ranking of peak cycles.

Does this include people who listed a company instead of Investor?

Usually not. Named firms are other industry keys. Neighboring titles are other occupation keys. This cell is the grouped Investor string in 2012. Mixing keys would blur the 2,841-donor count.

Do Investor donations fund federal awards?
