Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks United States Natural Gas Fund, LP names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 27, 2026: 55 risks under these headings, as written.3
- Investment Risk
- The NAV of UNG’s shares relates directly to the daily changes in the price of the Benchmark Futures Contract and other assets held by UNG and fluctuations in the prices of these assets could materially adversely affect an investment in UNG’s shares. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results; all or substantially all of an investment in UNG could be lost.
- Economic conditions impacting natural gas.
- Other natural gas demand-related factors.
- Natural disasters, public health disruptions (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), and international armed conflicts could impact the price of commodities and/or the value, pricing and liquidity of UNG’ investments or assets which, in turn, could cause the loss of your investment in UNG.
- Historical performance of UNG and the Benchmark Futures Contract is not indicative of future performance.
- Correlation Risk
- The market price at which investors buy or sell shares may be significantly less or more than NAV.
- Daily percentage changes in UNG’s NAV may not correlate with daily percentage changes in the price of the Benchmark Futures Contract.
- Daily percentage changes in the price of the Benchmark Futures Contract may not correlate with daily percentage changes in the spot price of natural gas.
- The correlation between changes in prices of the Benchmark Futures Contract and the spot price of natural gas may at times be only approximate. The degree of imperfection of correlation depends upon circumstances such as variations in the speculative natural gas market, supply of and demand for Futures Contracts (including the Benchmark Futures Contract) and Other Natural Gas-Related Investments, and technical influences in natural gas futures trading.
- Natural forces in the natural gas futures market known as “backwardation” and “contango” may increase UNG’s tracking error and/or negatively impact total return.
The other 45 risks
- Accountability levels, position limits, and daily price fluctuation limits set by the exchanges have the potential to cause tracking error, by limiting UNG’s investments, including its ability to fully invest in the Benchmark Futures Contract, which means that changes in the price of shares could substantially vary from the changes in the price of the Benchmark Futures Contract.
- Risk mitigation measures that could be imposed by UNG’s FCMs have the potential to cause tracking error by limiting UNG’s investments, including its ability to fully invest in the Benchmark Futures Contract and other Futures Contracts, which means that the changes in the price of UNG’s shares could substantially vary from changes in the price of the Benchmark Futures Contract.
- An investor’s tax liability may exceed the amount of distributions, if any, on its shares.
- An investor’s allocable share of taxable income or loss may differ from its economic income or loss on the shares.
- Items of income, gain, deduction, loss and credit with respect to shares could be reallocated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and UNG could be liable for U.S. federal income tax, if the IRS does not accept the assumptions and conventions applied by UNG in allocating those items, with potential adverse consequences for an investor.
- UNG could be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which may substantially reduce the value of the shares.
- UNG is organized and operated as a limited partnership in accordance with the provisions of the LP Agreement and applicable state law, and therefore, UNG has a more complex tax treatment than traditional mutual funds.
- If UNG is required to withhold tax with respect to any non-U.S. shareholders, the cost of such withholding may be borne by all shareholders.
- The impact of changes in U.S. federal income tax laws on UNG is uncertain.
- OTC Contract Risk
- UNG will be subject to credit risk with respect to counterparties to OTC contracts entered into by UNG.
- Valuing OTC derivatives may be less certain than valuing exchange-traded and/or cleared financial instruments.
- UNG’s rights under an OTC contract may be restricted by regulations.
- The use of swap agreements may expose UNG to early termination risk, which could result in significant losses to UNG.
- UNG is not leveraged, but it could become leveraged if it had insufficient assets to completely meet its margin or collateral requirements relating to its investments.
- UNG may temporarily limit the offering of Creation Baskets.
- Certain of UNG’s investments could be illiquid, which could cause large losses to investors at any time or from time to time.
- UNG is not actively managed and its investment objective is to track the Benchmark Futures Contract so that the average daily percentage change in UNG’s NAV for any period of 30 successive valuation days will be within plus/minus ten percent (10%) of the average daily percentage change in the price of the Benchmark Futures Contract over the same period.
- UNG may not meet the listing standards of NYSE Arca, which would adversely impact an investor’s ability to sell shares.
- The NYSE Arca may halt trading in UNG’s shares, which would adversely impact an investor’s ability to sell shares.
- The liquidity of UNG’s shares may also be affected by the withdrawal from participation of Authorized Participants, which could adversely affect the market price of the shares.
- Shareholders that are not Authorized Participants may only purchase or sell their shares in secondary trading markets, and the conditions associated with trading in secondary markets may adversely affect investors’ investment in the shares.
- The lack of an active trading market for UNG’s shares may result in losses on an investor’s investment in UNG at the time the investor sells the shares.
- Limited partners and shareholders do not participate in the management of UNG and do not control USCF, so they do not have any influence over basic matters that affect UNG.
- Limited partners may have limited liability in certain circumstances, including potentially having liability for the return of wrongful distributions.
- USCF’s LLC Agreement provides limited authority to the Non-Management Directors, and any Director of USCF may be removed by USCF’s parent company, which is wholly owned by The Marygold Companies, Inc., a controlled public company where the majority of shares are owned by Nicholas D. Gerber along with certain of his family members and certain other shareholders.
- There is a risk that UNG will not earn trading gains sufficient to compensate for the fees and expenses that it must pay and as such UNG may not earn any profit.
- UNG is subject to extensive regulatory reporting and compliance.
- Regulatory changes or actions, including the implementation of new legislation, are impossible to predict but may significantly and adversely affect UNG.
- UNG is not a registered investment company so shareholders do not have the protections of the 1940 Act.
- Trading in international markets could expose UNG to credit and regulatory risk.
- UNG and USCF may have conflicts of interest, which may permit them to favor their own interests to the detriment of shareholders.
- UNG could terminate at any time and cause the liquidation and potential loss of an investor’s investment and could upset the overall maturity and timing of an investor’s investment portfolio.
- UNG does not expect to make cash distributions.

Optimum Strategies Action
On April 6, 2022, USO and USCF were named as defendants in an action filed by Optimum Strategies Fund I, LP, a purported investor in call option contracts on USO (the “Optimum Strategies Action”). The action was in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut at Civil Action No. 3:22-cv-00511.
The Optimum Strategies Action asserted claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act (“CUSA”). It purported to challenge statements in registration statements that became effective in February 2020, March 2020, and on April 20, 2020, as well as public statements between February 2020 and May 2020, in connection with certain extraordinary market conditions and the attendant risks that caused the demand for oil to fall precipitously, including the COVID-19 global pandemic and the Saudi Arabia-Russia oil price war. The complaint was seeking damages, interest, costs, attorney’s fees, and equitable relief.
