iShares S&P Europe 350 Index Fund is an open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of 350 stocks providing geographic and economic diversity over 10 market sectors, as represented by the Standard & Poor's Europe 350. The Index measures the performance of the stocks in continental Europe and the United Kingdom. The market capitalization of constituent companies is adjusted to reflect only those stocks available to foreign investors. As of Mar 31 2015, the Fund's total assets were $2,719,467,320 and the Fund's investment portfolio was valued at $2,704,451,639. We show 226 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our IEV shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute IEV market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing IEV market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing IEV'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 IEV versus a peer is one thing; comparing
IEV 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 IEV can fluctuate over the course of history.
