iShares Trust Russell 3000 Value Index Fund is an open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Russell 3000 Value Index (the Index). The Index measures the performance of the value sector of the United States equity market. The Index is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index. The Index is capitalization-weighted and measures the performance of equity securities of Russell 3000 Index issuers with relatively lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth. As of Mar 31 2015, the Fund's total assets and investment portfolio totaled $906,695,244 and $904,196,409, respectively. We show 460 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our IUSV shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute IUSV market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing IUSV market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing IUSV'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 IUSV versus a peer is one thing; comparing
IUSV 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 IUSV can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching IUSV by allowing them to research the IUSV market cap history. |
