The Stock Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act requires U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives to publicly file and disclose any financial transaction within 45 days of its occurrence. We download those disclosures, parse them for stock trades, fetch the stock's performance in the time following the transaction, and calculate each politician's cumulative return from their trades.
Congress Long-Short Strategy
U.S. Congress
This strategy tracks the performance of stocks that have been purchased or sold by members of U.S. Congress (or their family). It takes a long position in stocks that have been purchased, and a short position in stocks which have been sold. This strategy is weighted based on the reported size of the transactions and employs leverage with 130% long exposure and 30% short exposure, with weekly rebalancing.
