Based on
Trade disclosures by members of Congress
Summary
Members of the US Congress are required to disclose their stock trades, usually within 45 days. Each Monday, our model identifies 10 companies and constructs an equal-weighted portfolio, selecting primarily based on the size of purchases members of Congress disclosed in recent weeks, after size and liquidity filters. The methodology is continuously refined as we learn more from the data.
Details
Keep in mind
- Live tracking started on Sep 21, 2026.
- Earlier weeks are a hypothetical backtest.
- Trades are disclosed weeks after they happen, so the list follows the disclosures, not the trades.
- Reported amounts are ranges, not exact figures, and a few large trades can dominate.
- The list often leans towards large technology companies.
Questions about Capitol

No. Capitol is a tracked model portfolio: a record of how its list has done, not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold anything. This list is information from public STOCK Act disclosures, not investment advice. Past results don't predict future ones.
In the Quantral app, on the web, iOS and Android, and through Quantral's MCP server in Claude or ChatGPT. The app shows the current list, what came in and went out in the latest update, and the week-by-week record. Strategies are for paid subscribers, and plans start with a 7-day free trial.
Before a strategy goes live, we run its rule over past weeks to show how the list would have done. We computed those weeks after the fact, so they carry hindsight that the live record does not. The chart marks where the live record starts.

Returns and stats are before trading costs. Broker fees, currency conversion and price spreads would lower them; at about 0.1% per buy or sell and this strategy's weekly changes, that is roughly 3.2% a year. All 111 weeks are a hypothetical backtest, computed after the fact with a rule chosen using the same history, and don't reflect actual trading.
