SPDR S&P Emerging Markets Small Cap is an open-end investment management company. The SPDR S&P Emerging Markets Small Cap ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of an index that tracks the small capitalization segment of global emerging market countries. In seeking this objective, the Fund uses a sampling strategy. As of Sept 30 2015, the Fund's total assets and investment portfolio totaled $407,089,941 and $404,337,301, respectively. We show 68 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our EWX shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute EWX market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing EWX market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing EWX'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 EWX versus a peer is one thing; comparing
EWX 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 EWX can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching EWX by allowing them to research the EWX market cap history. |
