SPDR Barclays Capital Short Term Treasury is an open-end investment management company. The Fund seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of an index that tracks the short-term (1-5 year remaining maturity) fixed rate, Treasury bond market. In seeking this objective, the Fund uses a replication strategy. As of June 30 2015, the Fund's total assets and investment porfolio totaled $57,478,170 and $57,276,967, respectively. We show 11 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our SPTS shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute SPTS market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing SPTS market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing SPTS'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 SPTS versus a peer is one thing; comparing
SPTS 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 SPTS can fluctuate over the course of history.
