New ETF lets investors mirror Congress stock trades
Original: A new ETF would let you invest like a Congress member — from both sides of the aisle
A new exchange-traded fund is being launched that would let ordinary investors replicate the stock trades of members of the United States Congress, drawing on holdings and transactions reported by lawmakers from both parties. The fund taps into ongoing public interest in how politicians invest, and in persistent questions about whether lawmakers benefit from insider knowledge, a debate that has fueled calls for banning congressional stock trading.
Why now: Ongoing scrutiny of congressional stock trading and campaigns to ban the practice have made lawmaker investment data a hot topic for retail investors.
