SPDR Barclays Capital International Treasury Bond is an open-end investment management company. The Fund is engaged in providing investment results, which correspond to the price and yield performance of the Barclays Capital Global Treasury ex-US Capped Index. The Barclays Capital Global Treasury Ex-US Capped Index includes government bonds issued by investment-grade countries outside the United States, in local currencies, that have a remaining maturity of one year or more and are rated investment grade. As of June 30 2015, the Fund's total assets and investment porfolio totaled $1,484,057,292 and $1,431,374,043, respectively. We show 71 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our BWX shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute BWX market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing BWX market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing BWX'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 BWX versus a peer is one thing; comparing
BWX 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 BWX can fluctuate over the course of history.
