Renaissance Technologies political money in the 2012 cycle

The Renaissance Technologies employer grouping records $3,044,050 in itemized individual contributions for the 2012 FEC cycle. Thirty-five contribution lines from nine donors make up that presidential-year cell. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $16,044,442, so 2012 is 19.0% of the key. This is a named quantitative-fund employer, not a generic Investments label and not a 2014 cut of the same firm.

Key figures

  • $3,044,050 tagged Renaissance Technologies in the 2012 FEC cycle.
  • 35 contributions from 9 donors; about $86,973 per contribution.
  • 2012 is 19.0% of the grouping’s $16,044,442 all-cycle total.
  • Named employer key, not a generic Investments occupation total.
  • Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

Nine donors in a presidential window

Nine people-keys and 35 lines average about 3.9 receipts per donor—close to the “few committees per person” pattern rather than a 30-line stack. Average line size is about $86,973. Average per donor is about $338,228. Those averages sit well above occupation keys and below some one-donor property keys. They describe this string in 2012.

The $3,044,050 is still individual receipts. It is not the fund’s returns, not employee headcount, and not a PAC. Staff who listed a different legal entity are in other rows.

Quantitative funds attract narratives that this table cannot carry: models, returns, and personalities. The FEC join carries $3,044,050, 35 lines, 9 donors, 19.0% of $16,044,442, for Renaissance Technologies in 2012. Nine keys and about $86,973 per line describe a small, high-average presidential cell. A 2014 join for the same industry key exists as a separate URL with separate cycle facts. This file does not overwrite 2012 with 2014.

19.0% of the Renaissance Technologies roll

Sixteen million forty-four thousand four hundred forty-two dollars is the grouping across all cycles. $3,044,050 is 19.0% of that. A presidential year taking about one-fifth of the key is a large slice. A 2014 Renaissance Technologies tie, if present in the catalog, is a different cycle cell and must not be substituted here.

The industry hub holds the running total. This page holds the 2012 intersection so the $3,044,050 is not lost inside $16,044,442.

Named quant shop versus sector words

Investor, Investments, and Corporation are other strings. Summing them with Renaissance Technologies would erase the 9-donor fact. Keep the employer key intact. 2012 is the calendar of a presidential election; it does not identify which ticket received these 35 lines. Recipients are on the overlay.

FEC employer fields are self-reported. “Renaissance Tech,” “RenTech,” and similar variants may or may not have rolled into this grouping. This page only claims the grouped key as stored.

Exclusions

Independent expenditures, committee PACs, and state gifts are outside $3,044,050. USAspending awards to technology or financial vendors are a different dataset. The word technologies in both places is not a funding path.

Unitemized gifts are absent. Nine donor keys are matching results inside this grouping for 2012.

How to cite Renaissance Technologies × 2012

State Renaissance Technologies, 2012, $3,044,050, 35 contributions, 9 donors, 19.0% of $16,044,442, from FEC individual-contribution aggregates. Do not fold Investor occupation dollars into that sentence. Do not treat 9 keys as the firm’s research staff. Do not treat the presidential calendar as a recipient list. Open the overlay for committees.

The industry hub holds $16,044,442. The 2012 cycle hub holds every employer string that year. The ties index holds other industry–cycle pages, including the 2014 Renaissance Technologies join. Independent expenditures and PACs are other schedules. USAspending technology or financial awards are another government file. The word technologies in both places is not a funding path from these 35 lines to those awards.

Nine donors and 35 lines totaling $3,044,050 is a small-N presidential cell with a large per-line average of about $86,973. The 19.0% share of $16,044,442 locates 2012 inside the named-fund history. Cite those numbers together. Leave models, returns, and the 2014 cycle cell on their own pages. FEC.gov individual aggregates are the source.

If this page is printed without the 9-donor count, $3,044,050 looks like an institution-level number. With the count, it looks like a small set of itemizers in a presidential window. Keep 35 lines, 9 donors, 19.0% of $16,044,442, and the overlay link in the same citation. That is the join: Renaissance Technologies and 2012, not a model and not a 2014 substitute.
