OMAH: Follows Berkshire Hathaway While Abandoning Warren Buffett's Principles

  • OMAH offers a high 15% distribution rate by selling call options on Berkshire's top holdings, but this leads to inevitable NAV decay over time. While OMAH may outperform in flat, volatile markets, its option-selling strategy contradicts Buffett's long-term value creation principles, and underperforms in bull markets. OMAH's higher management fees, and lack of access to Berkshire's cash and unique assets, make it less attractive as a long-term investment, compared to BRK.B.
