Most elected official, holding high office that could influence the finances of individual companies listed on stock exchanges, hold their investment portfolio in blind trusts. This means the fiduciary of the blind trusts runs everything regarding investment buying and selling within the bind trust without regards to any input from the owner or output to the owner.
Supposedly, investors who have stocks and bonds in a blind trust are so removed from it, they wouldn't even know what they owned.
