Vanguard Russell 2000 Value Index Fund is an open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of small-capitalization value stocks in the United States. The fund is designed to track the performance of the Russell 2000A® Value Index. The index is designed to measure the performance of small-capitalization value stocks in the United States. It attempts to replicate the target index by investing its assets in the stocks that make up the index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index. As of Aug 31 2013, the Fund's investments portfolio was valued at $95,844,000. We show 2 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our VTWV shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute VTWV market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing VTWV market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing VTWV'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 VTWV versus a peer is one thing; comparing
VTWV 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 VTWV can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching VTWV by allowing them to research the VTWV market cap history. |
