Quant Radio: Copying Congressional Trades

Oct 18, 2024
10:49

In this episode, we dive into a fascinating strategy inspired by the stock trades of U.S. Congress members! With the 2012 Stock Act mandating transparency in Congressional trades, some investors are using public data to create algorithms that mirror these trades. We explore whether this strategy can really outperform the market, the ethical implications, and how risk management through inverse volatility weighting plays a role. Tune in to discover how access to public financial disclosures could offer insights that give you an edge in investing!
