Pelosi's indicators may become a distant memory; what stocks does the congressional stock queen currently hold?

85-year-old Nancy Pelosi ( announced recently that she will end her 20th term at the end of 2026 and will not seek re-election, officially retiring from Congress. This marks the end of her nearly 40-year political career, and the “Pelosi Indicator” based on her publicly traded records will continue to be publicly available until the end of her term.

What is the “Pelosi Indicator”?

The “Pelosi Indicator” is an informal term in the investment community that refers to the stock trading activities of former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and their impact on the market. Pelosi and her husband Paul Pelosi have long been viewed as “indicator players” in the stock market, as their investment portfolio performance often outperforms the broader market (such as the S&P 500 index), which has sparked widespread discussion and follow-on effects.

Pelosi's trading records stem from the U.S. STOCK Act of 2012, which requires congressional members to publicly disclose securities transactions over $1,000 within 45 days. Pelosi's trades are particularly noteworthy because her investment returns far exceed the S&P 500 index, earning her the nickname “Pelosi Effect” among investors. Many believe this may be due to her informational advantage as a high-ranking politician, such as the impact of legislative trends on industries.

Pelosi's performance this year is 37%, far higher than the S&P's 14%.

According to pelositracker's statistics, its performance year-to-date has reached 37.3%, far exceeding the S&P 500's 14.4%.

What are Pelosi's current holdings?

Taking Broadcom as a case study, it purchased call options with an exercise price of 80 dollars in June 2024, and the price has now reached 349 dollars.

Her annual salary as a congresswoman is only about $174,000, and even if she becomes the Speaker of the House, it only increases to $223,500, which is just a drop in the bucket compared to her asset returns. This also highlights the importance of continuous investment.
