Autopilot Hits $1.3 B AUM with Pelosi, Mullin Portfolios Challenging GOP ETF
Autopilot has amassed $1.3 billion in assets by offering portfolios that track Republican lawmakers’ stock trades, rivaling the GOP ETF’s broad legislative exposure. Its Pelosi and Mullin-focused funds now account for 40–45% of AUM, compared with the GOP ETF’s diverse member basket.
1. Rapid AUM Growth
Autopilot launched in 2022 with $2 million in assets and has scaled to over $1.3 billion AUM by enabling users to mirror individual congressional trades. The platform shifted focus from social investing with friends to tracking high-profile lawmakers like Nancy Pelosi and Markwayne Mullin.
2. Political Tracking vs. GOP ETF
Approximately 40–45% of Autopilot’s AUM is tied to single-politician funds, offering targeted exposure unlike the GOP ETF’s broad Republican member basket. Autopilot’s direct brokerage integrations allow investors to embed these niche portfolios seamlessly into existing accounts.
3. Diversified Portfolio Offerings
The remaining assets on Autopilot are split between user-created strategies (40%) and meme-themed portfolios (15%), including AI-driven Grok and Inverse Cramer ETFs. This customizable mix positions Autopilot as a competitive alternative to the GOP ETF’s legislative trading approach.
