Warren Buffett is perhaps the best investor the world has ever seen. There aren’t many that have been able to replicate the kind of success he’s achieved in the financial markets.
But VistaShares wants to change that.
The investment firm has recently launched the VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF (OMAH) that offers direct exposure to Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
With the launch of this new exchange-traded fund, VistaShares aims to help an average investor play stocks like the legendary Warren Buffett.
What else does OMAH offer to investors in 2025?
To help investors replicate Buffett’s strategy, the recently launched OMAH fund also offers direct exposure to the top 20 holdings of Berkshire Hathaway.
Additionally, there’s an options strategy tied to the VistaShares’ new ETF that targets an annual income of 15% as well.
VistaShares has launched the Target 15 Berkshire Select Income offering at a time when the US stocks are struggling to retain upward momentum amidst Trump tariffs and the escalating trade tensions between Washington and China.
Despite such a challenging macroeconomic backdrop, Berkshire has done fairly well this year.
It has even outperformed the benchmark index, and that too by a significant margin in recent months.
That’s what makes OMAH a particularly exciting investment for 2025.
Warren Buffett has a well-diversified portfolio
Warren Buffett, also known as the “Oracle of Omaha”, invests only in the premium quality, stable companies at a time when they’re undervalued.
It’s a strategy that stands to win in the current macro environment that’s mired in uncertainty, said Adam Patti, the chief executive of VistaShares in a CNBC interview this week.
Berkshire is beating the broader market this year also because it’s a “well-diversified portfolio,” he argued, adding the newly launched OMAH fund aims at producing similar results for investors.
However, the VistaShares ETF pays a synthetic dividend as well that BRK.B lacks, at the time of writing.
Buffett has offered a 20% annualised return since 1965
Berkshire’s largest holdings currently include a bunch of financial and bank stocks, including the Bank of America, Mastercard, Visa, and the US Bancorp.
Gaining exposure to these via the OMAH exchange-traded fund could significantly benefit investors this year as financials are broadly being seen as relatively insulated from Trump’s new tariffs.
Note that Warren Buffett has an exceptional track record in the financial markets.
Since taking over Berkshire Hathaway in 1965, he has delivered an annualised return of approximately 20% compared to a much lower 9.9% for the benchmark S&P 500 index.
This means that an investment of $10,000 with Buffett at the dawn of this century would be worth nearly $0.8 million today.
This remarkable performance makes him one of the most successful investors in history.
