Scott Peters’ Spouse Buys Over $1M in Audax Senior Loan Fund

A new Periodic Transaction Report filed with the U.S. House of Representatives shows that the spouse of Rep. Scott H. Peters (D-CA) purchased shares of the Audax Senior Loan Fund ST LP, an over-the-counter listed asset, in a transaction dated July 29, 2026.

The disclosure, submitted under the STOCK Act, lists the transaction amount in the highest reporting bracket available to filers: over $1,000,000. Members of Congress and their spouses are required to report trades like this within 45 days of execution, regardless of the size or nature of the underlying asset.

What Was Purchased

The asset involved, Audax Senior Loan Fund ST LP, is described in the filing itself using the standard category label ‘Pooled Investment Fund.’ This is the filer’s own characterization of the investment vehicle, not an outside assessment. Pooled investment funds of this type typically aggregate capital from multiple investors to deploy into senior secured loans or similar credit instruments, though the filing does not provide further detail on the fund’s specific holdings or strategy.

Because the transaction was made by Rep. Peters’ spouse rather than by the congressman directly, it still falls under the disclosure requirements that apply to a member’s immediate family. Spousal transactions are a routine category within STOCK Act filings and are reported using the same format as trades made by the member personally.

How This Fits the Disclosure Record

Our internal classification system tags this filing as a ‘congress buy,’ reflecting the fact that it represents a new purchase rather than a sale or exchange. The size of the transaction, landing in the over-$1,000,000 bracket, makes it one of the larger disclosed positions reported through this filing mechanism, though the exact dollar figure is not specified beyond that threshold.

There is no indication in the filing of any additional context, such as related sales, prior holdings in the same fund, or a stated rationale for the purchase. The report simply documents that the transaction occurred, when it occurred, who executed it, and the general size category involved.

Readers interested in tracking congressional trading activity should note that STOCK Act disclosures are a legal transparency requirement applicable to all members of Congress and their spouses or dependent children. Filing a Periodic Transaction Report is a routine compliance obligation, not evidence of any wrongdoing, and this report should be read strictly as a matter of public record rather than as commentary on the underlying investment.
