In an effort to beat contango the decay of exposure to oil when the futures curve is up sloping the fund takes a position in 12 different futures contracts, one for each upcoming month. This will mean it will have less sensitivity to short-term moves in spot oil. Investors should consider using limit orders to manage spreads. USL’s legal structure isn’t unusual in the commodities space, but it does change the tax structure and result in a K-1 at tax time.
