SPDR Barclays Capital Investment Grade Floating Rate is an open-end investment management company. The Fund seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of an index that tracks the market for U.S. dollar-denominated, investment grade floating rate notes with maturities greater than or equal to one month and less than five years. In seeking this objective, the Fund uses a sampling strategy. As of June 30 2015, the Fund's total assets and investment porfolio totaled $395,116,990 and $391,687,375, respectively. We show 29 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our FLRN shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute FLRN market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing FLRN market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing FLRN'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 FLRN versus a peer is one thing; comparing
FLRN 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 FLRN can fluctuate over the course of history.
