The Scoreboard
Members ranked by The Spread — how the timing of their disclosed transactions compares with simply holding the market over the same 90 trading days.
Read this before reading the table. Congress discloses transactions, not holdings — no share counts, no cost basis, no portfolio. A real portfolio return therefore cannot be computed from this data by anyone. What can be computed is timing: for each disclosed trade, the security's return over the next 90 trading days minus the S&P 500's return over the same span, signed by direction (a purchase gains from a rise, a sale from a decline avoided), weighted by the midpoint of the filed dollar range.
A wide spread means the disclosed trades were well timed. It is not proof of anything else. Small samples swing wildly, luck exists, and a member's broker or financial adviser may be making every decision. The full formula and its limits are on Methodology.
The baseline — all disclosed trades, everyone
Across every priced transaction in the database, the average excess return is close to zero. Congressional trading as a whole does not beat the market by much in this data. The table below shows the distribution around that average — in both directions.
361 member-years match — 184 above the market, 176 below, averaging +0.1%.

Only transactions in securities we have price history for can be scored, and a member-year needs at least three of them to appear at all. Members whose trades are in funds, bonds, or unlisted assets are therefore absent — absence from this table is not a clean record, and presence on it is not an accusation. Definitions: The Spread.
