Govex Functions - One • To provide a simple, transparent and low cost method to track the GOVI • Government bonds are a significant component of even the most active managers portfolio • Significant time and expense is wasted on rebalancing these government bond portfolios • By investing in the GOVEX fund managers free up time for more value added activities • Costs of investing in and holding the GOVEX are as low, or lower, than costs that would be incurred through maintaining a portfolio of underlying bonds
