VistaShares Launches S&P 100 ETF Targeting 15% Yields From Mega-Cap Stocks

VistaShares is tapping into 2025's hottest trend with a new ETF that promises high income from S&P 100 giants using options strategies, giving investors yield without abandoning blue-chip safety.

If you're looking for yield in 2025 but don't want to venture beyond the safety of mega-cap stocks, VistaShares thinks it has exactly what you need.

The firm just launched the VistaShares Target 15 S&P 100 Distribution ETF SIOO, a fund that aims to deliver a 15% annual distribution rate by running options strategies on the biggest names in the market. We're talking about the S&P 100 here, which covers about 70% of the S&P 500's market cap. These are the mega-caps everyone knows and loves.

The timing makes sense. Income-structured ETFs using options strategies have been pulling in cash even as large-cap stocks hit record highs. The appeal is straightforward: investors want exposure to blue-chip companies but with returns that look more like what you'd expect from riskier bets.

SIOO delivers that by actively managing a portfolio of S&P 100 giants while selling OEX options to generate income. VistaShares is also leaning on tax-advantaged approaches like Section 1256 options to keep the income engine running efficiently.

This launch extends VistaShares' remarkably fast growth trajectory. The firm crossed $800 million in ETF assets just a year after getting started. Another fund in its lineup, the Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF (OMAH), has also gained attention this year for its Buffett-inspired, high-yielding approach.

What VistaShares seems to have figured out is how to take traditional equity exposure and repackage it for a market that's hungry for income. In a world where yield is king but investors don't want to stray too far from familiar territory, that's a pretty compelling value proposition.
