Why Congressional Stock Trades Matter
Information Asymmetry
Members of Congress sit on committees that oversee industries they invest in. They receive classified briefings and shape legislation that directly impacts stock prices, creating an inherent information advantage.
Proven Outperformance
Academic research consistently shows that congressional stock portfolios outperform market benchmarks. A landmark 2004 study found senators beat the market by 12% annually — far exceeding chance.
Public Accountability
The STOCK Act of 2012 requires all members of Congress to disclose trades within 45 days. Tracking these disclosures helps hold elected officials accountable and ensures transparency in public service.
