Political ProfileWhere SCHW sits in Washington
[object Object]
STRUCTURAL: Strong committee alignment (Senate Finance, House Ways & Means) and concentrated lobbying ($140K). EVIDENTIARY: Zero corporate insider buys in 180 days (`get_corporate_insider_signal.total_buys`), mixed congressional trading, and executive branch holdings (Trump, Chavez-DeRemer) are passive. Net: High regulatory density offset by lack of directional trading conviction.
