If you’re a fan of Warren Buffett and want to track the stocks in the Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) portfolio, then there’s one exchange-traded fund (ETF) that you may want to consider investing in. The VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF (NYSE Arca:OMAH) launched earlier this year, and the fund gives investors exposure to Berkshire stock as well as to the top 20 holdings in Berkshire’s portfolio.
Its primary goal is to generate income, followed by capital appreciation. The top three holdings in the ETF are Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Berkshire Hathaway, and American Express (NYSE:AXP). Those holdings combine for close to 29% of the fund’s overall weight.
For Buffett fans, this can be the ultimate ETF to add to your portfolio. You don’t have to worry about keeping track of which stocks Berkshire is buying and selling. And you also get exposure to Berkshire stock as well, which has been doing well; it has risen by 20% over the past year.
One unattractive feature about the fund, however, is that its expense ratio is fairly high at 0.95%. But with the fund’s goal being to achieve annual income of 15%, that may not be too bad. The fund is utilizing options to help generate high monthly income. And one feature that income investors will certainly like is that the fund’s distributions are made on a monthly basis.
If you want some monthly income and love Buffett stocks, this could be a great ETF to add to your portfolio today and hang on to for the long haul.
