Trader political contributions from Connecticut

The Trader–Connecticut intersection

Occupation TRADER and donor state CT produce $649,998, 568 contributions, and 91 donors. The occupation hub is $11,610,856, 19,193 contributions, and 1,507 donors. Connecticut’s dollar share is about 5.6%; contribution share about 3.0% (568 of 19,193); donor share about 6.0% (91 of 1,507). Ninety-one Connecticut donors sit inside 1,507 national TRADER donors. Dollars ($649,998 of $11,610,856) run ahead of contribution share (568 of 19,193).

EQUITY TRADER, BOND TRADER, and PORTFOLIO MANAGER, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack TRADER with EQUITY TRADER or PORTFOLIO MANAGER into a single Connecticut professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

91 Connecticut donors produced 568 contributions, about 6.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 12.7 rows per donor nationally (19,193 contributions from 1,507 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Connecticut cell is about $1,144, against about $605 nationwide. Connecticut’s $649,998 from 568 rows is a large-mean slice. Fairfield County lore is not in the packet. The state key is CT for every row in this cell.

TRADER as a markets occupation string

TRADER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a Series license, a desk, or an asset class. The $11,610,856 national total is TRADER only. 1,507 donors produced 19,193 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 19,193 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Connecticut (CT). Nineteen thousand one hundred ninety-three national contributions make TRADER a mid-volume bucket. This tie locates the Connecticut overlap.

Connecticut as donor state

91 Connecticut donors produced 568 contributions totaling $649,998. Donor state CT is the address on the record, not proof of a Connecticut license, and not a limit to Connecticut candidates. CT is the address on the itemized record. Ninety-one unique donors is not a Greenwich trader directory and not a map of which campaigns received the $649,998.

The Connecticut campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CT. This join is only TRADER. The Trader occupation hub without Connecticut still holds about 94.4% of the $11,610,856. Connecticut’s state hub includes every occupation coded to CT. TRADER is only this filter.

What not to infer from Trader plus Connecticut

This page does not count FINRA registrants, rank funds, or claim that Trader-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. TRADER is not INVESTMENT ADVISOR and not FINANCIAL SERVICES even when filers meant adjacent roles.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. TRADER is not a FINRA or hedge-fund extract. Donor state CT is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. CRD numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Trader filter

Subtract the Connecticut dollars on this page from the national TRADER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded TRADER in every other state combined. That remainder ($10,960,858) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 91 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 568 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $649,998 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Connecticut dollars, or only the TRADER national total, drops a key. Ninety-one donors producing 568 contributions totaling $649,998 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.
