| About Sprott Physical Gold Trust |
| Sprott Physical Gold Trust invests and holds substantially all of its assets in physical gold bullion. The Trust seeks to provide an exchange-traded investment alternative for investors interested in holding physical gold bullion without the inconvenience that is typical of a direct investment in physical gold bullion. The Trust invests primarily in long-term holdings of unencumbered, fully allocated, physical gold bullion and will not speculate with regard to short-term changes in gold prices. The Trust does not anticipate making regular cash distributions to unitholders. The Trust holds no assets that are subject to special arrangements arising from their illiquid nature. We show 5 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our PHYS shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute PHYS market cap on those dates. Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing share price, and the resulting changing PHYS market cap history over the course of time is important for investors interested in comparing PHYS'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 PHYS versus a peer is one thing; comparing PHYS 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 PHYS can fluctuate over the course of history. With this page we aim to empower investors researching PHYS by allowing them to research the PHYS market cap history. |
