USL Factset Analytics Insight
USL doesn't measure up in size and liquidity to its big sister USO—few funds do—but it brings an alternative futures strategy to the table that's had some success. USL has a viable asset base and trades with adequate liquidity in retail quantities. While USO excels in both areas, USL offers 12 reasons to choose it instead. In an effort to beat contango—the decay of exposure to oil when the futures curve is upsloping—the fund takes a position in 12 different futures contracts, one for each upcoming month. In contrast, USO (and our benchmark) puts all its eggs in the near-month basket, making it more sensitive to contango. The tradeoff: USL has less sensitivity to short-term moves in spot oil.
