Methodology note
This committee has significant jurisdiction over the defense sector. Members above flagged with a "Disclosed defense trades" badge have one or more Periodic Transaction Reports (PTRs) covering companies in that sector. The label does not imply legal violation — Members are permitted to hold and trade individual securities under current law, including via managed accounts. Trades shown are disclosed PTR filings; the conflict assessment is our analytical lens on them.
