Investor political money in the 2014 election cycle
Donors who listed Investor as their occupation account for $9,063,416 in itemized individual contributions in the 2014 FEC cycle. The slice covers 3,757 contributions from 1,498 donors. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $135,613,491, so 2014 is 6.7% of that roll. Investor is a job label on a federal receipt, not a license file and not a connected PAC.

Investor meeting the 2014 election cycle
2014 is a midterm federal cycle on the FEC calendar. Intersecting the Investor occupation grouping with that year produces $9,063,416, 3,757 lines, and 1,498 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 $6,050 per donor ($9,063,416 ÷ 1,498) and about $2,412 per contribution ($9,063,416 ÷ 3,757) describe this string in 2014. Lines per donor average about 2.5 (3,757 ÷ 1,498). Those ratios are arithmetic on the packet, not typical gifts and not a unique-person audit. Repeat givers raise the line count.
The 2014 election-cycle hub places Investor beside other occupation keys that year. Neither that hub nor this tie converts $9,063,416 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.
6.7% of the Investor all-cycle grouping
6.7% is $9,063,416 divided by $135,613,491. The leftover $126,550,075 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. A 6.7% 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.
Midterm solicitation volume can lift itemized counts. 3,757 lines still describe only receipts tagged Investor in 2014. The packet does not publish committee names inside the cell; those live on the occupation and cycle overlays. Do not treat 6.7% as proof that 2014 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 2014 apart
The Investor occupation page holds $135,613,491 and other years. The 2014 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 2014 — whenever $9,063,416 is quoted. Cite 3,757 contributions, 1,498 donors, 6.7% of $135,613,491, and FEC.gov. Do not convert 1,498 keys into licensed or enrolled people. Do not fold USAspending into the cell.
How to cite Investor × 2014
A complete claim names Investor and 2014, then $9,063,416, 3,757 contributions, 1,498 donors, and 6.7% 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 1,498-donor count is the net of filing choices in 2014: people who typed Investor increased the cell; people who typed a firm name or a neighboring title reduced it. $9,063,416 and the 6.7% 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.
2014 remains a midterm federal cycle. That calendar fact does not add dollars. The join stops at itemized individual receipts tagged Investor in 2014: $9,063,416 on 3,757 lines from 1,498 donors. About $2,412 per line and $6,050 per donor are means, not typical gifts. Repeat filers can sit in the 3,757 without raising unique people above 1,498.
