Politicians trade on insider information — legally.
Members of Congress sit on committees that shape policy, regulate industries, and move markets. They trade stocks based on what they know, and they consistently outperform the market.
Research from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that Congressional leaders outperform the market by up to 47% annually. Here's what that looks like in practice:

The data is public. The filings are buried in government databases, delayed, and hard to read.
We turn it into actionable intelligence. Scored, analyzed, and delivered straight to you.
How it works
From Congress filing to your portfolio in five steps
Politicians are required to disclose
Under the STOCK Act, every member of Congress must publicly report their stock trades within 45 days. This isn't optional, it's federal law. These filings are public record, but they're buried across government databases in formats most people never see.
We gather every trade
Our system monitors all 535 Congress members, both House and Senate, and automatically pulls every new filing the moment it's published. No trade slips through the cracks.
We analyze and filter only the best
Not every trade is worth your attention. We score each one based on committee positions, trade size, timing, and sector relevance. Only the trades with real insider signal make it to your feed, complete with deep context explaining why it matters.
You get notified instantly
When a high-score trade is published, you receive an email alert straight to your inbox. No need to check the site. The best trades come to you.
You profit
Review the analysis, check the data, and make your own informed investment decisions. You're trading with the same information Congress uses, just a few weeks behind their filing.

Asymmetric risk — built in
When politicians bet big, they tend to be right. The wins are much larger than the losses, creating a natural edge.

Not all trades are equal. We score every one.
Each disclosure is graded on committee jurisdiction, position size, political timing, and peer convergence — so you know exactly how strong the signal is.
Standard disclosure. No strong committee connection. Worth tracking for pattern recognition over time.
Committee member with relevant sector exposure and a meaningful position size. Moderate signal.
Senior member in direct jurisdiction of the company's sector. Large disclosed position. Strong signal.
Committee chair, direct jurisdiction, maximum position size. These are rare, and historically the highest conviction calls.
These results don't happen overnight
Congress members think in quarters, not hours. The best returns come from conviction plays held over months, not day trades. This is a long-term intelligence advantage.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before getting started
Yes, completely. Under the STOCK Act, every member of Congress is required to publicly disclose their stock trades. We organize and analyze that public data. Nothing more. Following their trades is no different from reading any other public financial filing.
No. Kapitol.ai is an information and research platform, not a financial advisor. We track, analyze, and present Congressional trading data, but we never tell you what to buy or sell. Any investment decision you make is entirely your own.
Yes. Kapitol.ai provides data and analysis to help you make informed decisions, but all investment risk is yours. We strongly recommend doing your own research before acting on any trade. Past performance of Congressional trades does not guarantee future results.
Not at all. Every trade alert comes with plain-English context explaining who traded, what they bought, why it might matter, and our insider score rating. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced investor, the analysis is designed to be immediately actionable.
Yes. Cancel anytime with no questions asked. Your access continues until the end of your billing period. No long-term contracts, no hidden fees, no cancellation hoops.
All trade data comes from official Congressional financial disclosures filed under the STOCK Act. We aggregate filings from both the House and Senate, then enrich each trade with market data, committee context, and our proprietary insider score analysis.
Our system monitors government filings continuously. Once a new disclosure is published, it goes through our curation process (scoring, context analysis, and quality review) and you receive an email alert. Most trades are published within hours of the original filing.
