Some investors, known as insiders, have access to important company information before it is made public. When they buy or sell shares, other investors often take notice—assuming these trades reflect valuable insights. This is why insider trading activity is required to be disclosed publicly.

But another group’s trades draw just as much attention: members of the US Congress.

The Unusual Whales Subversive Republican Trading ETF (NYSE:GOP) tracks the stocks held by Republican members of Congress. It charges a 0.75% fee. The sectors with the largest weight are: technology 24.15%, financials 16.32%, industrials 13.96%, energy 11.77%, and healthcare 7.40%. The top holdings include:

  • JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM): 4.49%.

On the other hand, the Unusual Whales Subversive Democratic Trading ETF (NYSE:NANC) tracks stocks held by Democratic members of Congress. It charges a 0.74% fee. The fund’s largest sector weights are Technology (39.46%), Communication Services (13.22%), Health Care (11.18%), Consumer Cyclicals (9.90%), Consumer Defensive (8.79%), and Financials (8.55%).
