The S&amp;P 500 has experienced extreme short-term volatility since President Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration on January 20. Even after a recent recovery, the S&amp;P is still down 8% since the start of Trump&#8217;s second term.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The market has been momentum driven for many years, the switch has flipped and we&#8217;re looking at quality in terms of exposure, and Berkshire Hathaway has performed incredibly well this year, handily outperforming the S&amp;P 500,&#8221; Patti said.<\/p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway famously doesn&#8217;t pay a dividend, with Buffett holding firm over many decades in the belief that he can re-invest cash to create more value for shareholders. In a letter to shareholders in February, Buffett wrote that Berkshire shareholders &#8220;can rest assured that we will forever deploy a substantial majority of their money in equities \u2014 mostly American equities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The lack of a dividend payment has been an issue over the years for some shareholders at Berkshire who do want income from the market, according to Patti, who added that his firm conducted research among investors in designing the ETF. &#8220;Who doesn&#8217;t want to invest like Buffett, but with income?&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>So, in addition to being tied to the performance of Berkshire and the stock picks of Buffett, the VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF is designed to produce income of 15% annually through a strategy of selling call options and distributing monthly payments of 1.25% to shareholders.\u00a0This income strategy has become more popular in the ETF space, with more asset managers launching funds to capture income opportunities and more investors adopting the approach amid market volatility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2025\/04\/26\/warren-buffett-berkshire-top-stock-picks-new-etf-fund.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a year that hasn&#8217;t been kind to many big-name stocks, Warren Buffett&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway is standing near the top.
