CapitolRadar analysis
6 trades, with 5 purchases concentrated after 2024
VTEB, the Vanguard Tax-Exempt Bond ETF, has 6 tracked trades from 2024-01-22 through 2026-06-29. The activity consists of 5 buys and 1 sell by 1 distinct trader. The first recorded quarter, 2024 Q1, contains the only sale: 1 trade and 0 buys. The remaining disclosed activity is entirely purchases.
Trading was most concentrated in 2025 Q3, when 3 buys were reported. Another buy followed in 2025 Q4, and 1 additional buy appears in 2026 Q2. Those quarter-level counts account for all 6 tracked transactions. With only one trader and six total observations, this is a small sample and does not establish a broad congressional trading pattern around the fund.
1 trader accounts for the full VTEB record
Michael McCaul is the identified buyer, with 5 VTEB purchases and a most recent buy dated 2026-06-29. Because the dataset contains only 1 distinct trader, the activity reflects one person’s disclosures rather than participation by multiple congressional traders. The five purchases span three reported quarters: 3 in 2025 Q3, 1 in 2025 Q4 and 1 in 2026 Q2.
6 additional tickers appear alongside the buyer’s activity
The same buyer also purchased DFAI, META, BAX, KEYS, VTI and ALH. Each overlap represents 1 buyer because only one VTEB buyer is tracked. These co-purchases provide context on other disclosed holdings, but the supplied data does not include transaction sizes or establish a relationship among the securities.
Congressional disclosures can be filed up to 45 days after a transaction, so reported activity may not be current when published. Transaction amounts disclosed as ranges are estimates rather than exact values; no amount ranges were provided here. The limited count, single-trader sample and disclosure lag all constrain interpretation.
