Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway shares have outperformed the S&P 500, with a 17% return YTD. Berkshire is the biggest holding in the VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF, which also includes top stocks like Apple, American Express, and Coca-Cola. CEO Adam Patti praises Buffett’s balanced portfolio on CNBC.

Berkshire Hathaway is one of 2025’s top performing stocks, with a 185% return over the past five years. Berkshire’s success is attributed to Buffett’s strategic trimming of stakes in big stocks like Apple. The S&P 500 has experienced volatility since Trump’s inauguration, with Berkshire outperforming the market.

Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway doesn’t pay dividends, as he reinvests cash for shareholder value. The lack of a dividend has been a concern for some shareholders, prompting the creation of the VistaShares ETF. The ETF aims to provide income through call options, catering to investors seeking income amidst market uncertainty.
