Portfolio Manager political contributions from Illinois

PORTFOLIO MANAGER joined to Illinois donor state

The inner join is occupation string plus donor state. PORTFOLIO MANAGER in one field and IL in the other produce $1,648,272, 765 contributions, and 91 donors. The occupation hub without Illinois is $28,899,687, 17,845 contributions, and 1,651 donors. The Illinois hub without this title mixes every other occupation that used IL as donor state.

Illinois’s dollar share is about 5.7% ($1,648,272 of $28,899,687). Its contribution share is about 4.3% (765 of 17,845). Its donor share is about 5.5% (91 of 1,651). Dollar share and donor share sit close together; contribution share sits a little lower, which is consistent with fewer, larger itemized gifts in the Illinois cell than in the national mix.

Dividing $1,648,272 by 765 contributions yields about $2,155 per gift in Illinois. Nationally, $28,899,687 divided by 17,845 contributions is about $1,619 per gift. Those averages are ratios. They are not medians and not typical ticket sizes.

A title with a large national dollar pile

PORTFOLIO MANAGER is among the larger occupation buckets in this packet wave: $28,899,687 from 1,651 donors. The label is typed by the contributor or the committee. It can cover buy-side managers, people who use the phrase loosely, and filers whose actual job title is longer. FUND MANAGER, ASSET MANAGER, or INVESTMENT MANAGER would sit in other occupation keys unless they were normalized into this slug, which this packet does not claim.

Seventeen thousand eight hundred forty-five contributions from 1,651 donors nationwide is about 11 itemized gifts per donor if divided evenly. Illinois’s 765 contributions from 91 donors is about 8 gifts per donor. Repeat giving still exists in the cell; it is simply less dense than the national occupation pattern on a per-person count.

Ninety-one Illinois donors, not a Chicago exchange census

The 91 unique donors behind $1,648,272 are people whose itemized records used PORTFOLIO MANAGER and IL. Donor state is the address on the receipt. It is not the location of the fund, the adviser, or the committee that received the money. Recipients can be anywhere FEC committees file.

Illinois campaign finance as a statewide page includes traders, attorneys, and every other IL-coded title. This tie isolates one occupation. Venture Capitalist donors in Illinois and Insurance Broker donors in Illinois are neighboring joins; their dollars are not inside $1,648,272.

Ninety-one Illinois donors are 5.5% of 1,651 national Portfolio Manager donors, almost the same as the 5.7% dollar share. The contribution share (4.3%) is the odd one out. Fewer lines carrying about the same dollar slice is how a $2,155 mean gift appears next to a $1,619 national mean without requiring a different donor-share story.

What 5.7% of the occupation does not prove

A mid-single-digit share of national Portfolio Manager dollars from Illinois does not mean Illinois caused those gifts, and it does not mean portfolio managers as a class funded a party. The two fields appear together on receipts. The join describes the overlap. It does not assign motive.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov are the only coverage here. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC treasuries are out of scope. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Illinois is not the only state with asset-management titles on FEC forms. This page holds PORTFOLIO MANAGER and IL. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT in Connecticut and INVESTMENT ANALYST in Pennsylvania are other joins in this packet wave. Their dollar figures are not inside $1,648,272.

Where to read each side of the join

Portfolio Manager donations carries the $28,899,687 national occupation total. Illinois campaign finance carries all IL-coded itemized individual activity. All occupations lists other titles. All FEC ties groups this Illinois pair beside other occupation-state pages so the $1,648,272 cell is not mistaken for either hub’s full total.

The occupation hub still holds the other 94.3% of Portfolio Manager-coded dollars. Opening only the Illinois tie would miss $27,251,415 that sits in other states ($28,899,687 minus $1,648,272). Use both hubs plus this join; do not substitute one for the others.

Questions

How much have Portfolio Manager donors in Illinois given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Portfolio Manager and state Illinois total $1,648,272, from 765 contributions and 91 donors. Nationwide, Portfolio Manager-coded receipts are $28,899,687 from 17,845 contributions and 1,651 donors. Illinois is about 5.7% of those dollars.

Does Portfolio Manager mean licensed investment advisers in Illinois?

The occupation string is PORTFOLIO MANAGER as entered on itemized filings. FEC aggregates do not verify Series licenses, SEC registration, or employer. The 91 Illinois donors and 1,651 national donors are people whose records used that label, not a headcount of registered advisers.

Are Illinois Portfolio Manager gifts larger than the national average?

In this join, $1,648,272 divided by 765 contributions is about $2,155 per gift, versus about $1,619 nationally ($28,899,687 / 17,845). Those figures are means, not medians. A few large itemized gifts can move the Illinois average without describing a typical check.

Is this money given to Illinois candidates?

Not necessarily. IL is the donor state on the contribution. The $1,648,272 can be received by any FEC-filing committee. This page does not break receipts by office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.
