Schwab U.S. Aggregate Bond is an open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the index). To pursue this investment objective, the fund typically seeks to match the total return of the index by generally investing in a representative sample of securities. As of Dec 31 2013, the Fund's total assets were $523,686,840 and the Fund's investment portfolio was valued at $518,827,615. We show 221 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our SCHZ shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute SCHZ market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing SCHZ market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing SCHZ'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 SCHZ versus a peer is one thing; comparing
SCHZ 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 SCHZ can fluctuate over the course of history.
