# Cliff Asness **Cliff Asness** appears in this site as the payer of **$2,000,000.00** to **SLF PAC**, the spending committee of the [[Senate Leadership Fund]], on **6 October 2026** — four weeks before the midterm election. The identification comes from the filing itself rather than from matching a name: the row gives his employer as **AQR Capital Management** and his occupation as **founding and managing principal**, with an address at 750 Third Avenue, Floor 11, New York. AQR Capital Management is a quantitative investment firm. ## The filing | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Recipient | **SLF PAC**, FEC **C00571703** | | Document | file **2038456**, `F3XN`, coverage 2026-10-01 to 2026-10-14, received 2026-10-22T17:01:57 | | Line | **`SA11AI`** — itemised contribution from an individual | | Amount | **$2,000,000.00**, dated **2026-10-06** | | Entity type | `IND` | | Running aggregate on the row | **$2,000,000.00 — equal to the amount** | | Original or amended | **original**, not memo-coded | **The aggregate equalling the amount is the informative part**: on this committee's own running count, this is the **first money he has given it in the 2026 cycle**. See [[Asness 2M to SLF PAC October 2026]]. ## Context He has been a visible Wall Street political donor for years, and Fortune reported in January 2024 on his giving in that cycle's Republican presidential primary. This site records only what a filing shows, so nothing beyond the October 2026 row above is asserted here. ## See also - [[Asness 2M to SLF PAC October 2026]] · [[Senate Leadership Fund]] - [[Super PACs]] · [[Independent Expenditure]] · [[Donor Network Hub]]
