The iShares MSCI International Developed Size Factor ETF (the “Fund”) is an open-end managment investment company. The Fund seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of international developed large- and mid-capitalization stocks with relatively smaller average market capitalization, as represented by the MSCI World ex USA Risk Weighted 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 Jul 31 2015, the Fund's total assets were $4,983,448 and the Fund's investment portfolio was valued at $4,973,665. We show 1 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our ISZE shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute ISZE market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing ISZE market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing ISZE'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 ISZE versus a peer is one thing; comparing
ISZE 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 ISZE can fluctuate over the course of history.
