Buffett-Inspired ETF Beats Berkshire With 15% Yield in 2025
The VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF holds Berkshire, Apple, and Amex while outpacing BRK since March 2025.
If you love Warren Buffett's picks but wish Berkshire Hathaway paid a dividend, there's now an ETF built exactly for you. The VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF bundles Berkshire stock alongside other Buffett favorites — Apple and American Express — and targets a 15% annual yield. That's the kind of income Berkshire itself would never generate on purpose.
Since March 2025, Berkshire's own shares have returned roughly 3%. The VistaShares fund has topped that figure, giving income-focused traders a reason to look beyond plain BRK exposure. When a yield-generating wrapper outpaces the source material, that's worth paying attention to.

The 15% yield target is the headline, but the real story is the portfolio construction. Owning Berkshire, Apple, and Amex in one income-generating vehicle lets you ride Buffett's conviction bets while collecting distributions those underlying stocks don't actually pay — or pay at much lower rates. The fund likely uses options overlays or similar income strategies to manufacture that yield, which is standard in this ETF category.
For retail traders, the tradeable angle is straightforward: if you've been sitting on BRK shares waiting for income that never comes, this ETF gives you a comparable equity exposure with a yield that actually shows up in your account. The tradeoff, as always with high-yield covered-call-style funds, is potential cap on upside during a ripping bull run. Know what you're buying.
