The VistaShares Target 15™ Berkshire Select Income ETF (OMAH) Passes the $100 Million AUM Mark

Investors have responded to fund’s approach allowing them to “Invest like Buffett” while active options overlay seeks an annual income target of 15%

VistaShares, an innovative asset manager seeking to disrupt the status quo in thematic exposures, income investing, and more, is today celebrating the news that its VistaShares Target 15™ Berkshire Select Income ETF (OMAH) has passed $100 million in assets under management.

OMAH began trading on March 5th of this year, meaning the fund passed this significant milestone in just its first two months of trading.

OMAH has brought an entirely new approach to the fast-growing category of equity- and options-powered strategies as it provides investors with exposure to an equity portfolio designed to reflect a select group of the publicly disclosed investments of Berkshire Hathaway while an actively managed options overlay aims to achieve an annual income target of 15%, distributed 1.25% monthly.

“We built OMAH to be a core equity holding with the added benefit of monthly income potential,” said Adam Patti, CEO of VistaShares. "We’ve been thrilled with the investor response to the fund and look forward to continuing to educate the marketplace on how an approach like this can fit into both core equity and income portfolios.”

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. For a prospectus or summary prospectus with this and other information about the Fund, please call (844) 875-2288. Read the prospectus or summary prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

Index / Strategy Risks. The Index’s holdings are derived from publicly available data, which may be delayed relative to the then current portfolio of Berkshire Hathaway. Consequently, the Fund’s holdings, which are based on the Index, may not accurately reflect Berkshire Hathaway’s most recent publicly-disclosed investment positions and may deviate substantially from its actual current Portfolio. The equity securities represented in the Index are subject to a range of risks, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in Market conditions, increased competition, and evolving regulatory environments, all of which could adversely affect their performance.

Focused Portfolio Risk. The Fund will hold a relatively focused portfolio that may contain exposure to the securities of fewer issuers than the portfolios of other ETFs. Holding a relatively concentrated portfolio may increase the risk that the value of the Fund could go down because of the poor performance of one or a few investments.

Distribution Risk. Although the Fund has an annual income target, the Fund intends to distribute income on a monthly basis. There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution in any given month.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes.

Options Contracts Risk. The use of options contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.

Equity Market Risk. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from specific issuers. The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value.

U.S. Government and U.S. Agency Obligations Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. U.S. Government obligations include securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, such as the U.S. Treasury.

New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective Investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.

Newer Sub-Adviser Risk. VistaShares is a recently formed entity and has limited experience with managing an exchange-traded fund, which may limit the Sub-Adviser’s effectiveness.
