iShares Growth Allocation is an open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the S&P Target Risk Growth Index (the Growth Allocation Index). The Growth Allocation Index seeks to measure the performance of an asset allocation strategy targeted to a growth-focused risk profile. The Fund is designed for investors seeking moderate capital appreciation and opportunity for current income and capital preservation. As of Jul 31 2015, the Fund's total assets were $461,860,246 and the Fund's investment portfolio was valued at $461,856,183. We show 317 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our AOR shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute AOR market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing AOR market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing AOR's market cap history versus its peers.
Many "beginner" or "novice" investors will look at one stock trading at a price of $10 per share and another trading at
a price of $20 per share and think the latter company is worth twice as much. Of course, that is a completely meaningless comparison without also knowing how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies,
and then calculating their respective market caps. Comparing the share price of AOR versus a peer is one thing; comparing
AOR market cap versus a peer is a completely different story.
Furthermore, via fluctuation both in per-share price and in the number of shares outstanding (via issuance of new shares over time, the repurchase of existing shares),
the market cap for a company like AOR can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching AOR by allowing them to research the AOR market cap history. |
