Introduction

Ever wonder what the market's most informed players are doing with their money? Whether it's company insiders or members of Congress, these individuals often have access to crucial information that can significantly impact stock prices. That’s where Surmount’s market insights come into play. Our platform gives you access to insider and congressional trade data, helping you stay ahead of the curve and make informed investment decisions.

In this blog, we’ll dive deep into why tracking these trades matters, how Surmount makes it easy, and how you can use this data to build a smarter, more resilient investment strategy.

Why Insider and Congressional Trades Matter

Insiders, like executives and key stakeholders, and members of Congress often have access to non-public information about companies or industries. When these individuals make trades, they do so with a level of confidence grounded in information the average investor doesn’t have access to.

By following their trades, you can gain early insights into potential stock movements before the rest of the market catches on. For instance, if an insider is buying up shares in their company, it might indicate they believe the stock is undervalued or that a positive development is on the horizon. Similarly, trades by Congress members can reflect future legislative impacts on specific industries.

According to a study by the University of Michigan, Insiders, particularly corporate executives and directors, consistently outperform the market—sometimes by as much as 20%. This is largely due to their access to privileged information about their companies. Imagine tapping into that kind of potential with your portfolio!
