(UNG) United States Natural Gas - Overview

The United States Natural Gas Fund LP (UNG) is a U.S.-based commodity-focused ETF that seeks exposure to natural-gas price movements by holding front-month futures contracts traded on NYMEX, ICE Futures Europe and ICE Futures U.S. The fund rolls its positions to the next-month contract when the current near-month is within two weeks of expiration, aiming to maintain continuous market exposure.

As of the most recent quarter (Q4 2025), UNG reported an expense ratio of 0.78% and assets under management of roughly $1.2 billion. The fund’s 12-month total return was +9.4%, driven by a 15% rise in the Henry Hub spot price amid tighter U.S. storage levels (≈1.3 billion MMcf, down 7% YoY) and robust LNG export demand to Europe and Asia. Additionally, the natural-gas market has been in a modest backwardation phase, which has partially offset roll-cost drag for UNG.
