Top 5
Republicans and Democrats compared
The table uses medians so that one outlier cannot decide a party's result. Independents appear in the both-party rankings, but there are too few of them to compare as a group.

How this ranking works
Each member is measured by a simulated $100,000 portfolio that buys each disclosed stock purchase and at-the-money calls on the underlyings of disclosed option purchases, on the first trading session after the filing became public. The portfolio rebalances when a new stock or option disclosure from the member becomes public and once each trading week, and it pays fees. The benchmark buys SPY with the same dollars on the same days.
The public filing date is the signal clock. A trade counts from the first day a reader could see the filing, so the delay between a trade and its disclosure is part of the result.
Questions
Which House member has the best stock trading record?
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA, House) does. Copying their 53 disclosed purchases from the 5-year window from the day each filing became public returned +235.6% from Mar 7, 2022 to Nov 7, 2026, against +80.7% for SPY over the same sessions.
How many House members beat the S&P 500?
11 of the 57 ranked House members did. A member is ranked once they have at least 10 disclosed purchases and 3 years of filings.
Are these the members' actual returns?
They are the returns of a simulated $100,000 portfolio that buys each disclosed stock purchase and at-the-money calls on the underlyings of disclosed option purchases, on the first trading session after the filing became public, with weekly maintenance and fees. Disclosures report amount ranges and can arrive up to 45 days after the trade, so this measures what a follower could have earned.
How often is this ranking updated?
Each member's backtest refreshes as new periodic transaction reports are filed. The backtests on this page were last refreshed on Nov 7, 2026.
