"Since 2001, for instance, individual and "soft money" contributions from privately held Fidelity and its employees have totaled $462,948, mainly to Republican causes, according to a database maintained by the Center for Responsive Politics in Washington. That's more than came from any of the 10 largest publicly held employers in the state, including Raytheon Co., EMC Corp., and Gillette Co."

4. They play both sides

Investment houses play both sides. E.g. Dem. Sen. John Corzine is former head of Goldman Sachs a privately held investment banker. They throw money at everyone (at least a little) early and often that way they have their bases covered regardless of who wins.
