RE: Buy congress critters.

There is a fund and an App that mimics Nancy Pelosi’s stock investments.

Unusual Whales Subversive Democratic ETF (NANC)

Overview: Launched on February 7, 2023, by Subversive Capital in partnership with Unusual Whales, the Unusual Whales Subversive Democratic ETF (ticker: NANC) tracks stock trades disclosed by Democratic members of Congress and their spouses, with a notable nod to Nancy Pelosi due to her high-profile trading history.

Methodology:

Utilizes data from congressional financial disclosures required under the STOCK Act of 2012, which mandates reporting within 45 days.

Invests in a portfolio of stocks purchased by Democratic lawmakers, weighted by factors like trade size and frequency, though not an exact replica of Pelosi’s trades alone—it’s broader but heavily influenced by her activity.
Top holdings include tech giants like Microsoft (~10%), Amazon, Apple, and Nvidia, reflecting her known bets on Big Tech.

Performance: Since inception, NANC has gained ~30% (through early 2025), outpacing the S&P 500’s ~24% over the same period. In 2024, it reportedly surged 54%, beating many hedge funds.

Expense Ratio: 0.75%, higher than broad-market ETFs but typical for niche strategies.

Why It Mimics Pelosi: While not exclusively her portfolio, Pelosi’s trades (via her husband) are a significant driver due to their volume and success, making NANC a practical way to follow her investment patterns indirectly.

There is also an App that Mimics Nacny Pelosi’s investments.

App: Autopilot

Overview: Autopilot, launched in January 2023 by founders including Christopher Josephs, is an investment app that allows users to automatically replicate the stock trades of prominent figures, with Nancy Pelosi as a flagship portfolio. It evolved from the viral “Pelosi Tracker” X account (
@PelosiTracker_
).

Methodology:

Pulls data from congressional disclosures and executes trades in users’ linked brokerage accounts when new filings are public (up to a 45-day lag).

The “Pelosi Tracker” portfolio specifically mirrors trades disclosed by Paul Pelosi, who manages the family’s investments. It’s not a fund but a tool to copy trades directly.

Focuses on high-conviction trades (e.g., recent or large positions) to maximize potential outperformance.

Performance: The Pelosi portfolio on Autopilot gained 45% in 2023 and 54% in 2024, outperforming the S&P 500 (24% in 2023). Over $175 million has been invested via this feature by late 2024.

Cost: Free for one portfolio (e.g., Pelosi’s); $29/quarter or $100/year for multiple portfolios and auto-trading.

Why It Mimics Pelosi:

Unlike NANC, Autopilot offers a direct, trade-by-trade replication of Pelosi’s disclosed moves, making it the closest mimic of her personal strategy.
