Leading Swiss online trading firm Swissquote has further expanded its Themes Trading lineup via the addition of US Congressional Trader.
Swissquote’s US Congressional Trader Index extracts crucial trading insights from the publicly disclosed holdings of congressional members, both Republican and Democrat, as financial opportunism knows no party lines.
Swissquote’s priority algorithm analyses stocks mentioned in trading disclosure documents, such as the Periodic Transaction Report (PTR). It also considers other factors such as aggregate participation in specific stocks, committee memberships, and length of congressional service.
Themes Trading is Swissquote’s collection of thematic portfolios, which allow traders not to buy individual stocks but assortments of stocks. Investors opting for this thematic investment are looking at what lies ahead and can therefore position their portfolio for faster growth and higher returns.
Swissquote introduced Themes Trading in September 2015. Back then, the service offered an initial set of 30 diverse themes, including global electric, cyber security, Greek recovery and fitness trends. The service offers investors to find opportunities in thematic investing, coupled with the highest possible transparency.
