FEC individual gifts: Portfolio Manager in 2010

Why Portfolio Manager and 2010 share a page

Occupation and cycle are independent fields on the same itemized rows. Joining them does not create new receipts. It hides rows that fail either test. After both tests, Portfolio Manager in 2010 shows $1,233,226, 604 contributions, and 316 donors. The occupation extract without a cycle filter is $28,899,687.

Because labels are filer-entered, PORTFOLIO MANAGER is not a controlled vocabulary. A person can type PORTFOLIO MANAGER on one gift and a longer title on the next. Only the rows that match this string enter $1,233,226. See Portfolio Manager donations for the string’s all-cycle dollars and 2010 election cycle for the 2010 mix of every occupation.

Occupation-wide dollars for Portfolio Manager

The occupation-wide total for PORTFOLIO MANAGER on this extract is $28,899,687 ($28.9 million). That figure includes every indexed cycle for the same string, not only 2010. $1,233,226 is the 2010 slice (4.3%). PORTFOLIO MANAGER is a title string, distinct from INVESTMENT MANAGER, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, and FUND MANAGER. The join does not assign assets under management, a fund strategy, or an adviser registration from the title.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER is not recoded to a Standard Occupational Classification code on this page. Readers who want SOC or BLS employment counts need those agencies. FEC occupation is a free-text field. $28,899,687 inherits that messiness. The 2010 filter does not clean it.

The even-year window that holds $1.2 million

The 2010 value is the FEC two-year election cycle that closes on the 2010 federal election calendar. It is a reporting window on individual contribution records, not a single Election Day total and not a count of offices on the ballot. Receipts dated inside that cycle window stay here; receipts dated in another even-year cycle sit on that other join. Inside that window, Portfolio Manager accounts for $1,233,226 on 604 contributions from 316 donors.

The 2010 filter is the FEC cycle code on the aggregate, not a news-cycle. Primary, runoff, and general dates inside the window are not split in this packet. $1,233,226 is the window sum. Do not allocate it across months or offices without another table.

Donor identity versus contribution rows for PORTFOLIO MANAGER

604 contributions and 316 donors describe different units. A row is an itemized receipt line. A donor is a unique person inside this occupation–cycle filter as LobbyVault matches names. 604 divided by 316 is the mean lines per donor in this cell; $1,233,226 divided by 316 is about $3,903 per donor; $1,233,226 divided by 604 is about $2,042 per line. Means are not medians. Large gifts pull the mean up. The packet does not publish a median.

Repeat the units when you quote: $1,233,226 itemized individual contributions, 604 lines, 316 unique donors, occupation string PORTFOLIO MANAGER, FEC cycle 2010. Dropping the units is how a join gets rewritten as a headline about an industry bloc.

A complete citation names occupation PORTFOLIO MANAGER, cycle 2010, dollars $1,233,226, contribution lines 604, and unique donors 316. Omitting the occupation string makes the cycle look occupation-wide. Omitting the cycle makes the occupation hub look like a single-year figure. Omitting the donor count invites a reader to treat 604 as people. Keep all five tokens.

Caveats that travel with $1,233,226

This page is not a claim that donations fund federal spending. FEC individual contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets. The join here is occupation × cycle inside FEC.gov only. It is not a ranking of occupations, not medical or political advice, and not a statement that Portfolio Manager as a profession acted in concert in 2010.

Nothing on this page assigns a motive. Itemized receipts are legal disclosures. 316 people who typed PORTFOLIO MANAGER in 2010 produced $1,233,226. That sentence is complete. Adding “because” requires a source this packet does not contain.

Portfolio Manager donations is the all-cycle table for this string. 2010 election cycle is the all-occupation table for 2010. All occupations is the string inventory. All FEC ties is the join inventory. None of those pages authorizes adding $1,233,226 to a USAspending obligation total or ranking Portfolio Manager as more influential than another title.

Questions

How much Portfolio Manager money shows up in 2010 on FEC.gov?

Itemized individual contributions with occupation PORTFOLIO MANAGER total $1,233,226 in the 2010 FEC cycle. LobbyVault counts 604 contributions and 316 unique donors in that cell. The occupation-wide total for the same string on this extract is $28,899,687, so 2010 is 4.3% of that roll-up. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Labels are filer-entered.

How does $1,233,226 relate to $28,899,687?

No. $1,233,226 is the 2010 slice only. The occupation hub still shows $28,899,687 across the extract. This page is a join: occupation string plus even-year cycle. It is not a restatement of Portfolio Manager donations and not a restatement of 2010 election cycle. Adding other cycles here would invent dollars the packet does not list.

What do 316 donors and 604 lines mean?

The join lists 316 unique donors and 604 contribution lines for PORTFOLIO MANAGER in 2010. A person can give more than once, so lines exceed donors. About $3,903 per donor and $2,042 per line are means from $1,233,226, not medians and not typical gifts. Name matching can split or merge people. This is not a job-census headcount.

Is PORTFOLIO MANAGER a recoded occupation category?

No. The filter is the exact occupation string PORTFOLIO MANAGER as filers typed it. Nearby titles stay on other keys listed under all occupations. The string is not a NAICS code, not a BLS occupation, and not a PAC. See Portfolio Manager donations for this key’s all-cycle table and all FEC ties for other joins. Cite FEC.gov.
