Berkshire Hathaway is rated a buy, with recent underperformance attributed to cautious positioning and a large cash allocation now shifting under Greg Abel. Abel's portfolio pivots include $4.5B in Q2 buybacks at 140% of book value, $19.8B net equity purchases, and increased exposure to Alphabet and homebuilders. BRK.B's financials-heavy portfolio may benefit from sustained high-interest rates, while tech underweight could limit upside if technology momentum persists.
VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF has outperformed Berkshire Hathaway since its March 2025 IPO, delivering its 15% annual yield target. OMAH's portfolio is 10% Berkshire Hathaway and 90% “equal”-weighted top US Berkshire holdings, minimizing exposure to cash and capital-intensive businesses. The fund's options strategy—short-dated, out-of-the-money call and put spreads—generates high income while limiting downside and minimizing forced roll risk.
The VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF blends Berkshire Hathaway-style stock selection with a unique and aggressive options overlay. OMAH buys Berkshire's top 20 public stocks plus ~10% BRK.B and sells options against them for a 15% target. I rate it a Hold; it goes in the too-hard pile. The weighting misaligns with Berkshire on every holding but Chevron, underweighting Buffett's biggest bets and overweighting his smallest. Berkshire's look-through scores higher on nearly every metric except forward P/E.
Warren Buffett refuses to pay a dividend, yet one ETF promises investors a 15% annual payout built entirely around his portfolio. Understanding where that money actually comes from changes everything about how you should evaluate it.
Warren Buffett spent decades telling investors that costs are the enemy of compounding.
The VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF (NYSEARCA:OMAH) was built on a simple promise: own a basket that mirrors Warren Buffett's disclosed equity portfolio, write calls against it, and collect a targeted 15% annual income stream.
A new ETF mirrors Warren Buffett's stock picks and mails you a check every month, doing everything Buffett has famously refused to do for seven decades. The gap between admiring his portfolio and investing the way he actually invests turns out to be enormous.
VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF offers a 15% yield via an options strategy on Berkshire Hathaway's top holdings. OMAH's income and NAV have been stable, but its total returns lag peers and the S&P 500, especially during strong market rallies. The ETF's high expense ratio (0.95%) and lower Technology exposure limit its appeal versus lower-cost, better-performing competitors.
