SAN FRANCISCO & BOSTON & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- VistaShares, an innovative asset manager seeking to disrupt the status quo in thematic exposures, income investing, and more, today announced another significant addition to its ETF lineup with the launch of the VistaShares Target 15™ USA Quality Income ETF (QUSA).
'The universe of factor ETFs is massive, with over $100 billion in investor dollars across the range of available funds. But to this point, there were no ETFs that provided factor-driven exposures with an equity options overlay..." Adam Patti, VistaShares.

The Fund is the first to provide investors with an equity portfolio made up of U.S. stocks exhibiting strong quality characteristics with an actively managed options overlay that aims to achieve an annual income target of 15%, distributed 1.25% monthly.
'The universe of factor ETFs is massive, with over $100 billion in investor dollars across the range of available funds. But to this point, there were no ETFs that provided factor-driven exposures with an equity options overlay. We're thrilled to be first to market with QUSA as the next addition to our Target 15™ lineup of funds,' said Adam Patti, CEO of VistaShares.
QUSA joins the VistaShares Target 15™ Berkshire Select Income ETF (OMAH) in the VistaShares family. OMAH provides investors with exposure to an equity portfolio designed to reflect a select group of the publicly disclosed investments of Berkshire Hathaway while also building in an actively managed options overlay that aims to achieve the same annual income target of 15% (distributed 1.25% monthly).
Since launching in early March of 2025, OMAH has performed as designed and has quickly grown to over $100 million in AUM.
Also like the OMAH ETF, QUSA seeks to generate income primarily through the use of options strategies involving options contracts on its Underlying Securities. These strategies are overseen by the highly experienced options trading team at Tidal Financial Group, with Jay Pestrichelli, the Chief Trading Officer at Tidal Financial Group and the portfolio manager of many other highly acclaimed Income ETFs, in the role of lead portfolio manager for the QUSA options overlay.
'With OMAH, we introduced a way for investors to unlock the income component that has long been missing from exposure to Berkshire Hathaway. Now, with QUSA, we're bringing attractive income potential to the well-established world of factor investing,' added Patti. 'A core equity exposure can now simultaneously deliver high monthly income potential. It is nothing short of a game changer when it comes to introducing greater efficiencies into the portfolio construction process.'

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
The Distribution rate is the estimated payout an investor would receive if the most recently declared distribution, which includes option income, remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate is calculated by multiplying an ETF's Distribution per Share by twelve (12), and dividing the resulting amount by the ETF's most recent NAV. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and does not represent its total return. Distributions are not guaranteed.
The Distribution rate and 30-Day SEC Yield is not indicative of future distributions, if any, on the ETFs. In particular, future distributions on any ETF may differ significantly from its Distribution Rate or 30-Day SEC Yield. You are not guaranteed a distribution under the ETFs. Distributions for the ETFs (if any) are variable and may vary significantly from month to month and may be zero. Accordingly, the Distribution Rate and 30-Day SEC Yield will change over time, and such change may be significant. The distribution may include a combination of ordinary dividends, capital gain, and return of investor capital, which may decrease a fund's NAV and trading price over time. As a result, an investor may suffer significant losses to their investment. These distribution rates caused by unusually favorable market conditions may not be sustainable. Such conditions may not continue to exist and there should be no expectation that this performance may be repeated in the future.
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.
