iShares Core 10+ Year USD Bond ETF (the “Fund”) (formerly the iShares Core Long-Term USD Bond ETF) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. dollar-denominated bonds that are rated either investment grade or highyield with remaining maturities greater than ten years, as represented by the Barclays US Universal 10+ Year Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. As of Feb 28 2015, the Fund's total assets were $276,154,914 and the Fund's investment portfolio was valued at $272,976,466. We show 164 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our IGLB shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute IGLB market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing IGLB market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing IGLB'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 IGLB versus a peer is one thing; comparing
IGLB 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 IGLB can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching IGLB by allowing them to research the IGLB market cap history. |
