Warren Buffett’s value-driven investment strategy has long been admired by both Wall Street professionals and everyday investors. Buffett's disciplined approach has consistently outperformed the market, even as economic cycles shift and market sentiment wavers. As inflationary pressures and interest rate uncertainty continue to rattle the S&P 500 Index ($SPX), investors are increasingly turning to Berkshire Hathaway’s (BRK.B) Class B shares for stability. These shares have surged 7% year-to-date (YTD), significantly outperforming the broader market.

Yet for all of Berkshire’s strengths, one thing it has never offered is a dividend, leaving income-focused investors on the sidelines. That’s changing with the arrival of the VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF (OMAH), a new exchange-traded fund launched in March 2025. OMAH not only holds Berkshire Hathaway shares but also invests in a curated selection of stocks from Buffett’s own portfolio. With OMAH already attracting more than $275 million in assets under management (AUM), investors are clearly taking notice.

The VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF gives investors a straightforward way to follow Warren Buffett’s well-known investing style while aiming for a strong 15% yearly payout. The latest payout was $0.24 per share, which works out to an annual yield that’s hard to find elsewhere. The fund’s 30-day SEC yield is 0.69% while the yearly dividend is $0.73 per share, or a 3.83% annual yield. OMAH maintains this by putting money into the 20 biggest stocks in Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio, along with direct investments in Berkshire itself. The fund also uses an options strategy to help keep income coming in regularly.

The fund's portfolio includes 73 holdings total, each chosen to match Buffett’s approach. The top 10 make up a large part of the fund, including Apple (AAPL) at 10.5%, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) at 9.76%, and American Express (AXP) at 8.74%. Other major allocations include Coca-Cola (KO) at 6.03%, Bank of America (BAC) at 5.57%, Occidental Petroleum (OXY) at 4.94%, Chevron (CVX) at 4.99%, Kroger (KR) at 4.87%, VeriSign (VRSN) at 4.61%, and Chubb (CB) at 4.5%. This lineup allows investors a simple way to have pieces of the same companies Buffett owns, all in one fund.
