The Fund seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of common stocks of companies that are characterized by high dividend yields. The Fund is an exchange-traded share class of Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund, which employs a passive management or indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index (the Index).

We show 1 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our VYM shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute VYM market cap on those dates. Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing share price, and the resulting changing VYM market cap history over the course of time is important for investors interested in comparing VYM'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 VYM versus a peer is one thing; comparing VYM 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 VYM can fluctuate over the course of history. With this page we aim to empower investors researching VYM by allowing them to research the VYM market cap history. |
