The relationship between politicians and stock markets has been historically fraught, to say the least. Despite heavy scrutiny and occasional controversies, politicians on both sides of the aisle continue to invest heavily (and sometimes quite actively) in various companies' stocks over the years - so much so that there are specialized ETFs designed to track their trades, so that everyday market participants can buy them and follow along.
One of these is the Unusual Whales Subversive Republican Trades ETF (KRUZ), which invests in stocks purchased or sold by Republican members of Congress. KRUZ is up 5% on a YTD basis, compared to 6.5% for the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX).
