iShares International Treasury Bond is an open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks investment results that correspond to the price and yield performance, of the S&P/Citigroup International Treasury Bond Index Ex U.S. (the Index). The Index is a market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of bonds denominated in local currencies and issued by foreign governments in developed market countries outside the United States. As of Oct 31 2015, the Fund's total assets were $488,338,686 and the Fund's investment portfolio was valued at $467,886,120. We show 162 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our IGOV shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute IGOV market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing IGOV market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing IGOV'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 IGOV versus a peer is one thing; comparing
IGOV 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 IGOV can fluctuate over the course of history.
