Frequency Distribution of Premiums and Discounts
The performance data quoted above represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Investment return and value of the Fund shares will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Recent quarter end performance data.
Description
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 net asset value. 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 horizontal axis of the chart shows the premium or discount expressed in basis points. The vertical 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 unit that is equal to 1/100th of 1% and is used to denote the change in a financial instrument.

USO® is not a mutual fund or any other type of Investment Company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is not subject to regulation thereunder.
This investment is not suitable for all investors.
Commodity trading is highly speculative. Commodities and futures generally are volatile and are not suitable for all investors. USO is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Investing in USO subjects you to the risks of the oil industry. These risks could result in large fluctuations in the price of USO's units. An investor may lose all or substantially all of an investment in USO. Funds that focus on a single sector generally experience greater volatility.
The Benchmark Oil Futures Contract does not correlate exactly with the spot price of light, sweet crude oil and this could cause the changes in the price of the units to substantially vary from the changes in the spot price of light, sweet crude oil. Therefore, you may not be able to effectively use USO to hedge against crude oil-related losses or as a way to indirectly invest in crude oil. For further discussion of these and additional risks associated with an investment in USO units, click here.
Units of USO may be purchased or sold throughout the day through any brokerage account, which will result in typical brokerage commissions. Investors buy and sell units in the secondary market (i.e., not directly from USO). Only authorized purchasers may trade directly with USO, in minimum blocks of 100,000 units.
