Self Employed Investments and the 2014 FEC cycle
The Self Employed Investments grouping recorded $973,282 in itemized individual contributions in the 2014 FEC cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 44 contributions from one donor. The label is a concatenated self-employment string, not a registered fund and not a census of independent investors. This page joins that occupation-style key to 2014 so a one-person cell can be read as an overlap rather than as a wealth-management ranking. One identity and 44 lines produced $973,282, about 20.8 percent of a $4,680,701 grouping — a high share of a modest stored history, not a fund ranking.
Key figures
- Self Employed Investments × 2014 equals $973,282 in itemized individual contributions.
- One donor made 44 contributions in that cell.
- 2014 is about 20.8% of the grouping’s $4,680,701 all-cycle total.
- The key is a concatenated self-employment string, not a fund.
- The page is a two-table join, not a motive claim.
One donor where Self Employed Investments meets 2014
A single contributor identity accounts for the entire $973,282. Forty-four itemized contributions still sit in the count, so the money arrived as many lines rather than one check. The join includes only rows whose employer or occupation text rolled up to Self Employed Investments and whose dates fall in 2014. Drop either filter and the dollar figure no longer applies.
Across cycles, the grouping totals $4,680,701. The 2014 window is about 20.8% of that running total — a high cycle share, in the same neighborhood as IDX and Oppenheimer Co cells in this batch. A high share with one filer is a concentration statistic, not a ranking of independent investors and not proof that a firm treasury wrote the checks.
What the concatenated string holds
FEC fields are free text. Self Employed Investments is a rollup of words filers typed together. People who wrote self-employed without Investments, or a fund name, or Investor as a title, may land on other keys. This join does not merge those spellings. Combining them with Entrepreneur or Philanthropist would invent a self-description total neither packet publishes.
Because one donor dominates 2014, the page is closer to a person-level timeline than to a census of independent investors. The industry hub’s $4,680,701 is the place to see the key without the 2014 filter. The overlay for Self Employed Investments 2014 is the row view of the 44 lines.
Treat $4,680,701 as the denominator for the 20.8% share, not as assets under management. A later cycle under this key would have its own donor count and must not inherit the one-donor fact from 2014.
44 lines from one identity
Dividing $973,282 by 44 contributions yields about $22,120 per itemized gift. Dividing by one donor yields $973,282 per donor. Contributions per donor are 44. Repeat itemization by recipient and report can produce dozens of lines without adding people. Those figures are arithmetic, not a median.
Forty-four contributions should not be mistaken for 44 investors. Recipients are not listed in this prose. Use the overlay table if you need rows. Mean gift size will move if any line is reclassified. Forty-four lines at about $22,120 each from one concatenated self-employment identity should be cited with the one-donor caveat whenever the $973,282 headline is repeated.
2014 as a filter, not an investor scoreboard
The 2014 election cycle hub holds every stored employer and occupation for that window. Self Employed Investments is one key inside it. No cycle-wide total appears in this packet, so this page does not state a national share. Midterm volume belongs on the cycle hub.
Open the 2014 election cycle to drop this filter and Self Employed Investments to drop the year. All FEC ties lists other joins, including Entrepreneur 2012, which keeps 217 donors on a different title key.
What a one-donor self-employment key does not prove
Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee activity sit outside $973,282. Federal award files are a different dataset. Sharing an investments phrase and a calendar year is not a funding trail from FEC gifts to contracts.
Correlation between a concatenated self-employment string and a midterm cycle is not causation. The records show one matched identity, 44 contributions, and a date window. Motive is not in the table.
Keeping one donor inside 2014
Start with $973,282, then Self Employed Investments 2014 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2014 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. That path keeps two filters and one cell.
One donor, 44 contributions, and a 20.8% share versus $4,680,701 belong to 2014. Carry any of them onto Entrepreneur or Philanthropist and the arithmetic stops being a fact from this packet. Self Employed Investments is concatenated text, not a registered adviser. Entrepreneur and Investor-style keys remain separate. About $22,120 per contribution is arithmetic for this midterm cell. Federal awards that mention investments in another database are not funded by these gifts.
Questions

- LobbyVault’s FEC.gov aggregates show $973,282 in itemized individual contributions for this grouping in the 2014 cycle, from 44 contributions and 1 donor. The sum is not a fund PAC total.
- Is this the same as Entrepreneur?
- No. Self Employed Investments is a concatenated string stored as its own key. Entrepreneur is a different occupation-style grouping with its own cycle cells. Combining them would invent a total neither packet publishes as a join.
- What share of this grouping is 2014?
- The grouping total stored across cycles is $4,680,701. The 2014 amount of $973,282 is about 20.8% of that figure.
- Where is the overlay for this join?
- Open Self Employed Investments 2014 for the cycle overlay, Self Employed Investments for the grouping hub, and the 2014 election cycle for the year without this filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.
