Morgan Stanley political money in the 2012 election cycle
The Morgan Stanley employer grouping records $2,065,553 in itemized individual contributions for the 2012 FEC cycle. One thousand one hundred twenty-three contribution lines from 535 donors make up that presidential-year cell. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $18,776,463, so 2012 is 11.0% of the key. This is a named bank-employer string, not a Wall Street sector total and not the Goldman Sachs join.

A wide employee-style pattern at a smaller dollar cell
Five hundred thirty-five donor keys and 1,123 lines average about 2.1 receipts per donor—fewer repeat lines than some occupation keys. Average line size is about $1,839. Average per donor is about $3,861. The dollar cell $2,065,553 is smaller than Goldman Sachs’s 2012 cell on that firm’s own page; those are different keys and must not be added together on this page as a combined “banks in 2012” fact.
Employer remains self-reported. Current staff, alumni, and stale fields can appear. 535 is not payroll headcount.
Bank-name keys can look alike until donor counts appear. Morgan Stanley × 2012 = $2,065,553 on 1,123 lines from 535 donors, 11.0% of $18,776,463. Five hundred thirty-five keys and about 2.1 lines each is a broad employee-style presidential pattern. Goldman Sachs 2012 is a different key with different cycle dollars on its own page. Do not add those cells here. PAC disbursements are not in the $2,065,553. Average line size about $1,839 describes this string in 2012.
11.0% of the Morgan Stanley roll
Eighteen million seven hundred seventy-six thousand four hundred sixty-three dollars is the grouping across all cycles. $2,065,553 is 11.0% of that. A presidential year taking about one-ninth of the key is a substantial slice without being the lifetime figure. Other years hold the remaining 89.0%.
The industry hub is the year index. This tie keeps 2012 visible with the 535-donor shape attached.
Named bank versus Investments
People who typed Investments or Investor are in those occupation keys. People who typed Morgan Stanley are here. Mixing them would blur 535 into a fake sector headcount. Keep the employer string intact.
Morgan Stanley PAC disbursements are committee reports. They are not $2,065,553. Independent expenditures are another schedule. Recipients of these individual lines are on the overlay.
Exclusions
Federal awards to financial firms in USAspending are a different dataset. A bank name in both systems is not a funding path from these receipts to those awards.
Unitemized gifts are absent. State contributions are absent. 1,123 is a federal itemized line count for this string in 2012.

Citing Morgan Stanley × 2012
Write Morgan Stanley, 2012, $2,065,553, 1,123 contributions, 535 donors, 11.0% of $18,776,463, from FEC individual-contribution aggregates. Do not fold Goldman Sachs or Merrill Lynch into that sentence. Do not treat 535 keys as payroll. Do not treat the presidential calendar as a recipient list. The overlay lists committees for the 1,123 lines.
The Morgan Stanley industry hub holds $18,776,463. The 2012 cycle hub places this bank string among occupation labels and concentrated named keys. The ties index holds other joins. Independent expenditures are another schedule. USAspending awards to financial firms are another government file. A bank name in both systems is not a funding path from these 535 donors to those awards.
Investor and Investments occupation pages collect people who did not type this firm. Keep them separate so the 535-donor count remains meaningful. Quote the 11.0% share so $2,065,553 is not mistaken for the lifetime Morgan Stanley-string total.
Five hundred thirty-five donors, 1,123 lines, $2,065,553, 11.0% of $18,776,463: that is Morgan Stanley × 2012. Goldman Sachs is a different key. Investor is a different key. PAC schedules are different objects. USAspending is a different government. Quote the 535-donor breadth with the 11.0% share. The overlay lists committees. Employer remains self-reported, so 535 is not payroll headcount.
