Mission Statement
Making CapitolTrades.com free for the public reflects our core values of accountability and transparency while reinforcing the importance of a free market economy that is accessible to all.
We believe that through greater transparency, more informed individuals will enrich the system itself, therefore enabling a competitive market.
Equally, we support the STOCK Act (the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act) and its enforcement and development. This will deliver a better, faster reporting system, efficient penalties and a more accountable approach to preventing the misuse of insider information.
New trades and analytics are published as close to real-time as possible, providing you the most up-to-date STOCK Act information source available.
We leverage the vast 2iQ data factory to enrich every disclosed transaction with additional information and classifications.
We do not rely on automated processing alone - 2iQ´s data analysts take great care to ensure that the data we publish is always accurate.
Follow Capitol Trades on Twitter to get informed about new trades as soon as they are published.
Politician detail pages show their bio, committee memberships, tweets, trading activity and preferred sectors. Stock and committee detail pages complement the data with additional useful context.
Watch this space: we will constantly improve Capitol Trades with more useful features, and we add curated content to our 2iQ blog on a regular basis.
