Fund Details
The VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF (NYSEARCA:OMAH) holds a basket of stocks that follow Buffett's philosophy, including Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B), Bank of America (BAC), American Express (AXP), Coca-Cola (KO), and Chevron (CVX). It then applies a covered call options strategy on these holdings to generate additional income, boosting the total yield to 15%.
