OMAH Distribution — Quick Facts
  • By the record: 18 payments since March 27, 2025, of which 11 fell in the twelve months to October 4, 2026, totalling $2.57 per share, and a prior-year comparison has to wait until the record is two years deep — close to 15% of the ~$17.53 share price.
  • Pays: monthly.
  • First paid: March 2025.
  • What it is: a fund holding Berkshire Hathaway and its top disclosed stock picks, with an option overlay engineered to distribute 15% a year — income from a portfolio famous for paying none.
  • The irony: Warren Buffett has refused to pay a dividend for sixty years, arguing the cash compounds better retained. OMAH converts his holdings into exactly what he declines to provide.
  • The catch: a fixed 15% target means the options must sell whatever upside it takes — and in months when income falls short, the difference is your own capital coming back.

OMAH targets a 15% annualized distribution rate regardless of what its holdings earn; shortfalls are met with return of capital, which erodes NAV over time if the target outruns the portfolio.

Buffett's Stocks, Un-Buffett's Strategy

OMAH's pitch is irresistible on its face: own Berkshire and the Buffett constellation — Apple, American Express, Coca-Cola — and receive 15% a year from the market's most famous non-payers. The machinery is a covered-call overlay plus a fixed distribution target, and that target is the detail to understand: when option income falls short of 15%, the fund pays you from principal anyway.

Target-rate funds trade certainty of checks for uncertainty of what's left underneath. If the underlying portfolio compounds faster than the target drains it, everyone wins; if not, the NAV erodes on schedule. One year in, the jury is out — the backtest above will keep the honest score, and this guide explains the mechanics.

When Is OMAH's Next Ex-Dividend Date?

OMAH pays monthly. The exact date of each payout is announced by the fund only shortly beforehand, so no site can promise the next date — but the live schedule box above shows the most recent ex-dividend date and the expected window for the next one, computed from OMAH's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.

OMAH's Record So Far

OMAH — the VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF — began paying in March 2025 and has delivered its monthly checks on schedule since, currently around 23 cents. The distributions do exactly what the label promises; the interesting question lives entirely in the NAV.

The Target-Rate Bargain

Most income funds pay what they earn; target funds earn what they can and pay what they promised. That inversion produces wonderfully predictable checks and pushes all the uncertainty into principal. Against a portfolio as strong as Buffett's picks, the bet isn't crazy — those businesses compound hard — but 15% is a demanding hurdle even for them, and every shortfall month quietly shrinks the machine.

Where OMAH Fits

For income investors who want blue-chip quality with maximum monthly cash and understand the target-rate mechanics. The philosophical opposite of just owning KO (Buffett's own famous holding) and letting the raises compound. Next expected date on the live calendar.

Return of Capital, Demystified

Target-rate funds run on ROC by design — here's how to judge whether the trade is working.
