iShares Russell 200 Growth 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 Top 200 Growth Index (the Growth Index). The Growth Index is a style factor weighted index that measures the performance of the capitalization growth sector of the United States equity market. The Growth Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Growth Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Growth Index. As of Mar 31 2015, the Fund's total assets were $660,469,572 and the Fund's investment portfolio was valued at $659,700,300. We show 205 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our IWY shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute IWY market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing IWY market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing IWY'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 IWY versus a peer is one thing; comparing
IWY 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 IWY can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching IWY by allowing them to research the IWY market cap history. |
