iShares Russell 2000 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 2000 Value Index (the Index). The Index measures the performance of equity securities of Russell 2000 Index issuers with relatively lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth. 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 Mar 31 2015, the Fund's total assets were $6,900,245,933 and the Fund's investment portfolio was valued at $6,865,719,086. We show 948 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our IWN shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute IWN market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing IWN market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing IWN'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 IWN versus a peer is one thing; comparing
IWN 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 IWN can fluctuate over the course of history.
