Executive Edition

Week of 2026-09-15

Fourteen disclosures surfaced this week, all sales — led by Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh unwinding a position in a private analytics firm worth up to $5 million.

The Big Picture

Every transaction in this batch is a sale. Not a single purchase was disclosed across any of the three officials who reported activity. The most significant dollar amounts come from Federal Reserve Governor and Chairman Kevin Warsh, who disclosed the liquidation of several private fund interests and a stake in a private company. Four of the fourteen filings arrived far beyond the STOCK Act's 45-day window, all from the same official at the Department of Transportation.

This Week's Notable Trades

By the Numbers

Late to File

Under the STOCK Act, executive-branch officials must disclose a qualifying trade within 45 days of the trade date. Sean McMaster, Administrator of the Federal Highway Administration, disclosed four sales of ASGN, Inc. (ASGN) on June 11, 2026. The underlying trades took place on August 11 and August 22, 2025 — placing each disclosure between 293 and 304 days late. This is a disclosure-timing matter; no finding of wrongdoing is implied.

All-time: Across all executive-branch STOCK Act filings in the database, 88.3% have been filed late — 28,876 of 32,716 total transactions. The officials with the highest all-time late-filing counts are Donald J. Trump (22,845 late filings), Mitchell M. Zais (284), Nuria Fernandez (278), Linda E. McMahon (259), and Gina M. Raimondo (206).

The Fine Print

Data derived from public STOCK Act disclosures. Disclosure date is not the trade date (filings lag 30-45 days). Dollar figures are disclosed ranges, not exact amounts. Conflict-of-interest flags are heuristic "potential overlaps," not assertions of wrongdoing. Not investment advice.
