United States Gasoline Overview
The United States Gasoline Fund® LP (UGA) is an exchange-traded security that is designed to track the daily price movements of gasoline. UGA issues shares that may be purchased and sold on the NYSE Arca.
The investment objective of UGA is for the daily changes in percentage terms of its shares’ net asset value (NAV) to reflect the daily changes in percentage terms of the price of gasoline (also known as reformulated gasoline blendstock for oxygen blending, or "RBOB"), for delivery to the New York harbor, as measured by the daily changes in the price of UGA’s Benchmark Futures Contract, plus interest earned on UGA’s collateral holdings, less UGA’s expenses.
UGA’s Benchmark Futures Contract is the futures contract on gasoline as traded on the NYMEX that is the near month contract to expire. If the near month contract is within two weeks of expiration, the Benchmark will be the next month contract to expire.
UGA invests primarily in RBOB futures contracts, and to a lesser extent, in order to comply with regulatory requirements, risk mitigation measures (including those that may be taken by UGA, UGA’s futures commission merchants, counterparties or other market participants), liquidity requirements, or in view of market conditions, other gasoline-related futures contracts, forwards and swap contracts. These investments will be collateralized by cash, cash equivalents, and US government obligations with remaining maturities of two years or less.

The above frequency distribution chart presents information about the difference between the daily market price for shares of the Fund and the Fund's reported NAV. The amount that the Fund's market price is above the reported NAV is called the premium. The amount that the Fund's market price is below the reported NAV is called the discount. The market price is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the listing exchange, as of the time that the Fund's NAV is calculated (usually 4:00 pm Eastern time). The vertical axis of the chart shows the premium or discount expressed in basis points. The horizontal axis indicates the number of trading days in the period covered by the chart. Each bar in the chart shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated.
* A basis point is equal to 1/100th of 1%.
