Congressional disclosures

What is the STOCK Act?

The STOCK Act (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act), signed into law in 2012, requires all members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to publicly report personal securities transactions exceeding $1,000 within 45 days of the transaction date. These reports — called Periodic Transaction Reports (PTRs) — are filed with the Senate Office of Public Records and the House Clerk, and are available as public record. The law was intended to prevent members of Congress from trading on non-public information obtained through their official duties.

What do these disclosures show?

Each PTR discloses the date of the transaction, the asset traded (stock ticker or description), whether it was a purchase or sale, and a broad dollar range (e.g. $1,001–$15,000 or $100,001–$250,000). Exact transaction amounts are not required. Disclosures cover trades made by the member, their spouse, and dependent children. InvestorLens aggregates these public filings so you can browse the reported trading activity of individual Congress members in one place — for educational research purposes only. Disclosure does not imply wrongdoing of any kind.

Note: PTR data shown is sourced from publicly filed disclosures. Filings may be amended; always consult the official House and Senate disclosure portals for the definitive record. This is not investment advice.
