Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is one of the most powerful politicians in America.
She’s also one of the best individual investors in the world.
A now-suspended Twitter account that used to track her trades noted in October 2021 that she’d managed a 69% annualized return over the trailing 10 years.
In 2021, though she was the top Democrat and she outperformed the S&P 500 Index by a decent margin, Pelosi trailed five Republican Members of Congress.
Dan Crenshaw of Texas, John Curtis of Utah, French Hill of Arkansas, and Brian Mast of Florida occupied the four spots just ahead of her.
Topping the list of Congress’s best investors in 2021 was Austin Scott of Georgia.
The highest-ranking Senator for 2021 was Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who ranked No. 19 overall of 35 total members of the House of Representatives and the Senate who beat the S&P.
That’s 35 solid investors out of a total of 635 Representatives and Senators.
