The purpose was to make the MAX INDEX a reliable benchmark for institutional and private investors against which they can measure the performance of their own government bond portfolios. In developing the index, it was an important criterion that its composition should reflect the prevailing structure of the government bonds market, especially in terms of size and liquidity of bonds. Consequently, the index basket corresponds to a usual, passively managed and well diversified portfolio of government bonds.
