United States 12 Month Natural Gas Overview
The United States 12 Month Natural Gas Fund® LP (UNL) is an exchange-traded security that is designed to track the price movements of natural gas. UNL issues shares that may be purchased and sold on the NYSE Arca.
The investment objective of UNL is for the daily changes in percentage terms of its shares NAV to reflect the daily changes in percentage terms of the price of natural gas delivered at the Henry Hub Louisiana, as measured by the daily changes in the average of the prices of UNL's Benchmark Futures Contracts, less UNL's expenses.
UNL's Benchmark is the near month futures contract to expire and the contracts for the following 11 months, for a total of 12 consecutive months. If the near month futures contract is within two weeks of expiration, the Benchmark will be the next month contract to expire and the contracts for following 11 consecutive months. When calculating the daily movement of the average price of the 12 contracts, each contract month is equally weighted. The natural gas contract is natural gas delivered at the Henry Hub, Louisiana, and is traded on the NYMEX.
UNL invests primarily in listed natural gas futures contracts and other natural gas related futures contracts, and may invest in 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%.
