If you want exposure to what elected officials are trading, there are two ways to do that. For one, you could always track down what each member of Congress is buying and selling and tag along, such as Nancy Pelosi.

Just this week, it was announced that Nancy Pelosi, as reported by Seeking Alpha:
Exercised 50 call options on Alphabet with a $150 strike price purchased on Jan. 14, 2025. The initial purchase was worth between $250,001 and $500,000, and the exercised amount was worth between $500,001 and $1M. She also purchased 20 call options with a $150 strike price and an expiration date of Jan. 15, 2027. The purchase was made on Dec. 30, 2025.
Pelosi also purchased 20 call options on Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) that have a $120 strike price and an expiration date of Jan. 15, 2027. The purchase was made on Dec. 30, 2025.
In addition, she sold 20,000 shares of the Andy Jassy-led firm on Dec. 24, worth between $1,000,001 and $5M. She also exercised 50 call options that had a $150 strike price and were purchased on Jan. 14, 2025.
With her Apple (NASDAQ; AAPL) holdings, she sold 45,000 shares worth between $5,000,001 and $25M (on Dec. 24); purchased 20 call options with a $100 strike price and an expiration date of Jan. 15, 2027 (on Dec. 30); and contributed 28,200 shares to a Donor-Advised fund.
She also disclosed a new position in asset management firm AllianceBernstein, acquiring 25,000 shares worth between $1,000,001 and $5M on Jan. 16. Meanwhile, she sold 5,000 shares of PayPal on Dec. 30 worth between $250,001 and $500,000.
Pelosi also exercised her 50 call options on Tempus AI and Vistra, sold 10,000 shares of Walt Disney, and received 776 shares and cash in accordance with the Versant Media spin-off from Comcast.
In short, she made a fortune.
And while you and I can try to mirror that, many times we’re not able to.
That’s because your elected officials don’t have to disclose what they bought for about 30 to 45 days after the transaction, per the STOCK Act.
Part of the STOCK Act “Amends the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 (EGA) to require specified individuals to file reports within 30 to 45 days after receiving notice of a purchase, sale, or exchange which exceeds $1,000 in stocks, bonds, commodities futures, and other forms of securities and subject to any waivers and exclusions.”
Instead, you can try to mirror what elected officials are trading by using two ETFs, including:
Three days into his term, Trump signed a sweeping executive order to “reboot” the dollar. Now his plan is finally coming to fruition. And his old friend, Elon Musk, is leading the charge. Within weeks, America could have a new currency and life as we know it will never be the same.
The Unusual Whales Subversive Democratic Trading ETF (NANC) is an actively managed equity exchange-traded fund that builds its portfolio based on stocks bought or sold by Democratic members of the U.S. Congress and their families. The idea is to give investors exposure to the trading activity disclosed by these lawmakers.
NANC does not track a traditional index. Instead, its portfolio is constructed based on public disclosures of trades by Democratic lawmakers.
According to the NANC ETF Fact Sheet, “We have partnered with Unusual Whales to develop an ETF that will allow investors access to the near- real-time trading disclosures of members of Congress in both parties. NANC focuses on the Democratic Party. “
Unusual Whales Subversive Republican ETF (GOP)
The Unusual Whales Subversive Republican Trading ETF (GOP) is an actively managed U.S. equity ETF that seeks to reflect the stock trades publicly reported by Republican members of the U.S. Congress and their spouses.
Rather than following an index, GOP’s holdings are determined by disclosed trades from Republican lawmakers and spouses. This creates a diversified portfolio spanning sectors such as financials, technology, energy, and others.
Hedge fund legend Larry Benedict - who beat the S&P 500 by 18 times in 2025 and made clients $95 million during the 2008 crisis - says one ticker could sit at the center of major money flows beginning May 2026: TLT.
Benedict has seen a 4% move in TLT turn into a 117% gain for readers - but only when traded a very specific way. He's sharing his complete TLT playbook in a free briefing, including why he believes this is the best setup he's seen in years.
Attempting to even mirror the trades of Congress can be difficult.
Unfortunately, by the time the information becomes public, much of the opportunity may already be gone. After all, members of Congress don’t have to disclose what they bought for about 30 to 45 days after the transaction, per the STOCK Act.
However, ETFs like NANC and GOP offer a solution. These funds aggregate disclosed congressional trading activity into diversified portfolios, allowing investors to gain exposure to what lawmakers are buying and selling—without having to track every filing or trade.
