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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are congressional stock trades public information?
Yes. Under the STOCK Act of 2012, all members of Congress must publicly disclose stock transactions within 45 days of the trade. These filings are available through the Senate and House Electronic Financial Disclosure Systems.
Is it legal to copy the trades of politicians?
Yes. There is no law against following or replicating the publicly disclosed trades of members of Congress. However, disclosure delays of up to 45 days mean you are trading on delayed information.
How often is the data updated?
We process new disclosures daily as they are filed. Most politicians file within 30-45 days of their trade date. Our system aggregates data from both the Senate EFDS and House financial disclosure portals.
Do congressional trades really beat the market?
Multiple academic studies, including a well-known 2004 study by Alan Ziobrowski, found that U.S. Senators' stock picks outperformed the market by an average of 12% per year. More recent studies show the gap has narrowed but remains statistically significant.
What data do you track for each trade?
For each disclosed trade, we track the politician, party, state, trade date, disclosure date, ticker symbol, asset type, transaction type (buy/sell), and the estimated dollar range of the trade.
