SEC 1913 (04-05) FOR SHAREHOLDERS OF (JANUS LOGO) JANUS MID CAP VALUE FUND JANUS SMALL CAP VALUE FUND
August 27, 2008 Dear Shareholder: The Board of Trustees for your Fund is requesting that you vote on a proposal to approve a new subadvisory agreement between your Fund's investment adviser, Janus Capital Management LLC ("Janus Capital"), and your Fund's current subadviser, Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell and Company, LLC ("PWM"). The proposed new subadvisory agreement will be substantially similarelect eight Trustees to serve on the current subadvisory agreement in place forBoard of Trustees of your Fund. The proposal arises because Janus Capital, which currently owns a 30% interest in PWM, has entered into an agreement to acquire an additional 50% interest in PWM. Under applicable law, this transaction could result in a change in control of PWM that could cause an automatic termination of the current subadvisory agreement. We are therefore seeking your approval of a new agreement so that PWM can continue to serve as your Fund's subadviser. The Board of Trustees for your Fund is also requesting that you vote on a proposal to approve an amended and restated investment advisory agreement between your Fund and its investment adviser, Janus Capital. The proposed amended and restated investment advisory agreement will make Janus Capital, rather than your Fund, responsible for paying PWM for its services as subadviser, which would be in line with industry standard regarding payment of subadvisory fees. The proposed amended and restated investment advisory agreement for Janus Small Cap Value Fund will also change that Fund's investment advisory fee structure from a fixed rate to a rate that adjusts up or down based upon the Fund's performance relative to its benchmark index, the Russell 2000(R) Value Index. (The current investment advisory agreement for Janus Mid Cap Value Fund already provides for a similar performance adjustment.) The Board of Trustees believes that moving to a fee schedule that moves up or down based upon the Fund's performance better aligns the interests of the Fund's managers with those of the shareholders of the Fund. Please read the Proxy Statement for a description of the performance-based fee structure you are being asked to approve. All other terms of the amended and restated investment advisory agreement will be substantially similar to the current investment advisory agreement in place for your Fund. These proposals will be presented to shareholders at a joint Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held October 30, 2008. For additional details abouton June 14, 2016. The proposal is briefly summarized below and in the proposals, please readSynopsis section that precedes the Questions and Answers section at the beginningenclosed joint proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”). The Proxy Statement includes a detailed discussion of the enclosed Proxy Statement,proposal, which you should read carefully. The Board of Trustees recommends that you vote to approve the proposal as wellpresented.

The proposal for your consideration applies to all Janus funds,and asks that shareholders elect eight Trustees to serve on the Board of Trustees. Six of the individuals you are being asked to consider for election currently serve on the Funds’ Board of Trustees and the remaining two nominees would become new Trustees upon election. Each nominee is considered “independent,” meaning that the nominee is not affiliated with the Funds’ adviser or its related entities, and if elected would serve as an “Independent Trustee.”

The Independent Trustees of the entire Proxy Statement. THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES OF EACH FUND BELIEVE THE PROPOSALS ARE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF SHAREHOLDERS AND HAVE RECOMMENDED THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSED NEW SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT AND THE PROPOSED AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT. Funds believe that the proposal is in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders and have recommended that shareholders vote “FOR” the proposal.

You can vote in one of four ways: - BY MAIL

By mailwith the enclosed proxy card; - BY INTERNET card(s);

SYNOPSIS

The following Questions and Answers aresynopsis is intended to provide an overview of the information provided in this Proxy Statementthe joint proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) and to summarize the proposalsproposal to be considered at the joint Special Meeting of Shareholders, or at any adjournment thereof. WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED? You are being askedor postponement thereof (the “Meeting”).

What is the purpose of this proxy solicitation?

The purpose of this proxy solicitation is to approve a new subadvisory agreement between Janus Capital Management LLC ("Janus Capital"), your Fund's investment adviser, and Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell and Company, LLC ("PWM"), your Fund's subadviser (the "New Subadvisory Agreement"). A formask shareholders of the proposed New Subadvisory Agreement is attached as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement. You are also being asked to approve an amended and restated investment advisory agreement between youreach Fund and Janus Capital, which has been amended to provide that Janus Capital would be responsible for compensating PWM for its services, rather than PWM being compensated directly by your Fund (the "Amended Advisory Agreement"). In addition, the Amended Advisory Agreement for Janus Small Cap Value Fund will change the investment advisory fee rate paid to Janus Capital from a fixed rate to a rate that adjusts up or down based upon the Fund's performance relative to its benchmark index, the Russell 2000(R) Value Index. A form of the proposed Amended Advisory Agreements for Janus Mid Cap Value Fund and Janus Small Cap Value Fund is attached as Exhibit B to this Proxy Statement. The following table identifies which Fund is entitled to vote on each proposal:
PROPOSALS ---------------------------------------------------------- 4 3 (AMENDED 1 2 (AMENDED ADVISORY (NEW SUB- (NEW SUB- ADVISORY AGREEMENT ADVISORY ADVISORY AGREEMENT REALLOCATION AND FUND AGREEMENT) AGREEMENT) REALLOCATION) PERFORMANCE FEE) ---- ---------- ---------- ------------- ---------------- Janus Mid Cap Value Fund............... X X Janus Small Cap Value Fund............... X X
If approved, the New Subadvisory Agreements and the Amended Advisory Agreements will take effect upon consummationelection of the transaction discussed below, which is anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2008. If the Amended Advisory Agreement is approved for Janus Small Cap Value Fund, the performance-based advisory fee structure is expected to take effect on the first day of the month following the approval; however, the first performance fee adjustment will not occur until one year after the new fee structure takes effect. 3 WHAT IS HAPPENING BETWEEN JANUS CAPITAL AND PWM? In 2003, Janus Capital acquired 30% of the outstanding ownership interests of PWM, and also obtained the right to purchase certain additional blocks of the outstanding ownership interests of PWM. The 70% of PWM that is not currently owned by Janus Capital is beneficially owned by several affiliates of PWM, including certain employees of PWM andeight members of their respective families (the "Sellers"). On July 7, 2008, Janus Capital and the Sellers entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), according to which Janus Capital will acquire an additional 50% of PWM (the "Pending Acquisition"), pending shareholder approval of various proposals. In connection with the consummation of the Pending Acquisition, PWM will change its name to "Perkins Investment Management LLC." Under the Purchase Agreement, certain current owners of PWM have retained a 20% beneficial interest in PWM. Janus Capital, however, has the right to acquire all or a portion of that retained interest under certain circumstances. Janus Capital expects PWM to serve as its domestic value equity investment platform (the "Value Platform"). Management of the Value Platform will be ultimately determined by a Board of Directors of PWM, which will be controlled by Janus Capital, together with Janus Capital Group Inc. ("JCGI"), (collectively "Janus"). This Board of Directors is separate and distinct from the Board of Trustees of the Funds. HOW WILL THE TRANSACTION BETWEEN JANUS CAPITAL AND PWM AFFECT MY FUND? Under applicable law,Funds (the “Board”).

Who are the Pending Acquisition may be deemednominees to be a sale of a "controlling block" of PWM's voting securitieselected Trustees?

You are being asked to elect eight Trustees to serve on the Board: Alan A. Brown, William D. Cvengros, Raudline Etienne, William F. McCalpin, Gary A. Poliner, James T. Rothe, William D. Stewart, and as a result, the consummationLinda S. Wolf. All nominees, other than Raudline Etienne and Gary A. Poliner, are currently Trustees of the Pending Acquisition could resultTrust and have served in an automatic terminationthat capacity since originally elected or appointed. Ms. Etienne and Mr. Poliner were unanimously approved by the Board to stand for election, upon a recommendation from the Trust’s Nominating and Governance Committee. Each of the current subadvisory agreements betweenTrustees and Ms. Etienne and Mr. Poliner are considered “independent,” meaning that the Trustees and nominees are not affiliated with Janus Capital and PWM. Therefore, shareholdersManagement LLC (“Janus Capital”), the Funds’ adviser, or its related entities (an “Independent Trustee”).

Why am I being asked to elect Trustees?

The Funds are not required to hold annual meetings or to elect Trustees annually. Since the last Trustee election in 2010, the Board has sought to maintain its size at eight members, with each serving as an Independent Trustee. Currently, the Board only has six members, all of whom are Independent Trustees. While the Board ordinarily can fill vacancies without a shareholder vote, under applicable laws new Trustees may not be appointed if after such appointment two-thirds of the Funds willTrustees would not have been elected by shareholders, which would be the case if Ms. Etienne and Mr. Poliner were appointed to the Board. Accordingly, you are being asked to approve new subadvisory agreements between Janus Capitalelect Ms. Etienne and PWM. ConsummationMr. Poliner and each currently serving Trustee as Independent Trustees (1) to return the Board to its normal size and (2) to provide the Board with flexibility going forward to replace Trustees as needed without the time and expense of unnecessary proxy solicitations.

Information about the Trustee nominees, including age, principal occupations during the past five years, and other information, such as the nominees’ experience, qualifications, attributes, or skills, is set forth in the Proxy Statement.

Additional Information

What is the recommendation of the Pending Acquisition is not expected to have any material impact on the principal investment policies, strategies, or risks of the Funds. Your current subadviser, including your current Portfolio Managers, will still be responsible for the day-to-day management of your Fund immediately following the transaction. In addition, the management fee rate paid by Janus Mid Cap Value Fund will not change as a result of the Pending Acquisition. If shareholders of Janus Small Cap Value Fund approve Proposal 4, the base management fee rate paid by that Fund will not change, but the performance-based fee adjustment may increase or decrease the rate of the advisory fee based on the Fund's performance relative to its benchmark index, the Russell 2000(R) Value Index. If approved by shareholders and if certain other conditions, as described in the Purchase Agreement or as otherwise agreed to by Janus Capital and PWM, are satisfied, the Pending Acquisition, the amended and restated investment advisory 4 agreements, and the subadvisory agreements are each expected to become effective in the fourth quarter of 2008. After the closing of the Pending Acquisition, the Funds intend to change their names to "Perkins Mid Cap Value Fund" and "Perkins Small Cap Value Fund," respectively. WHY AM I BEING ASKED TO APPROVE A NEW SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT? Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the structure of the Pending Acquisition could be deemed an "assignment" of the current subadvisory agreement between Janus Capital and PWM, which automatically terminates the current subadvisory agreement and requires approval of a new subadvisory agreement if PWM is to continue to serve as subadviser. The proposed New Subadvisory Agreement for your Fund is substantially similar to the current subadvisory agreement. The Board of Trustees has approved the New Subadvisory Agreements and authorized submission of each agreement to shareholders for approval. WHY AM I BEING ASKED TO APPROVE AN AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT? The Amended Advisory Agreement for your Fund will reallocate, from your Fund to Janus Capital, the obligation to compensate any subadviser engaged by Janus Capital for its services as subadviser. Under the current and proposed subadvisory relationship, PWM would continue to act as subadviser. In addition, the Amended Advisory Agreement for Janus Small Cap Value Fund will change that Fund's investment advisory fee structure from a fixed rate to a rate that adjusts up or down based upon the Fund's performance, as described in the question below. Shareholders of Janus Small Cap Value Fund should note that, if they approve the proposed Amended Advisory Agreement for that Fund, PWM's subadvisory fee rate will also adjust up or down in line with the performance fee, as Janus Capital will pay 50% of the advisory fee it receives from the Fund to PWM. These proposed amendments to the current advisory agreements require your approval of an Amended Advisory Agreement. WHY IS THE BOARD PROPOSING MOVING TO A PERFORMANCE-BASED FEE SCHEDULE FOR JANUS SMALL CAP VALUE FUND? The Board believes that a fee schedule that adjusts based upon the positive or negative performance of the Fund, relative to its benchmark index, better aligns the interests of the managers with those of the Fund's shareholders. It is possible, however, that the addition of a performance-based fee structure may not always align these interests. (The current investment advisory agreement for Janus Mid Cap Value Fund already provides for a performance adjustment.) Currently, Janus Small Cap Value Fund pays an advisory fee at a fixed annual rate. As proposed, the rate of investment advisory fee payable to Janus Capital would decrease when the Fund does not perform well, relative to its benchmark index, and would increase 5 during periods when the Fund outperforms its benchmark index. In addition, since PWM receives 50% of the advisory fee payable to Janus Capital, PWM's compensation for managing that Fund will also be subject to performance adjustments. Janus Capital and PWM believe that the proposed advisory fee structure will enable them to maintain the quality of services they provide to the Fund and to attract and retain talented investment personnel. WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES? Trustees?

The Board of Trustees recommends that you vote "FOR"“FOR” the proposals applicableproposal.

Who is eligible to your Fund. WHO WILL PAY FOR THE PROXY SOLICITATION? Janus Capital and PWM will jointly bear the costs associated with the Meeting and the proxy solicitation. Neither you nor your Fund will bear any of those costs. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND DO NOT APPROVE THE APPLICABLE PROPOSALS? If shareholders of a Fund do not approve the proposals applicable to their Fund, the current investment advisory and subadvisory agreements will remain in effect with respect to the Funds. The Board of Trustees will take such action as it deems to be in the best interest of the Funds, including potentially soliciting additional proxies. WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO VOTE? vote?

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

(All Janus funds)

Introduction

At the Meeting, shareholders of all Funds will be asked to elect eight individuals to constitute the Trust’s Board of Trustees. All nominees, other than Raudline Etienne and Gary A. Poliner, are currently Trustees of the Trust and have served in that capacity since originally elected or appointed. Ms. Etienne and Mr. Poliner were unanimously approved by the Board to stand for election, upon a recommendation from the Trust’s Nominating and Governance Committee.

The Funds are not required to hold annual meetings or to elect Trustees annually. Since the last Trustee election in 2010, the Board has sought to maintain its size at eight members, with each serving as a Trustee who is contingent uponnot an “interested” person (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) of the Trust or Janus Capital, the Funds’ investment adviser, (an “Independent Trustee”). Currently, the Board only has six members, all of whom are Independent Trustees. While the Board ordinarily can fill vacancies without a shareholder vote, under applicable laws new Trustees may not be appointed if after such appointment two-thirds of the Trustees would not have been elected by shareholders, which would be the case if Ms. Etienne and Mr. Poliner were appointed

4


to the Board. Accordingly, you are being asked to elect Ms. Etienne and Mr. Poliner and each currently serving Trustees as Independent Trustees (1) to return the Board to its normal size and (2) to provide the Board with flexibility going forward to replace Trustees as needed without the time and expense of unnecessary proxy solicitations.

The eight nominees for election as Trustees who receive the greatest number of votes from shareholders voting in person or by proxy at the Meeting will be elected as Trustees of the Trust. These eight nominees were selected after careful consideration by the Trust’s Nominating and Governance Committee, a committee consisting entirely of Independent Trustees, and the nominations were approved by all of the current Independent Trustees. Six of the eight nominees currently serve as Trustees of the Trust. Each nominee has consented to serve as a Trustee and to being named in this Proxy Statement. The persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card(s) will vote for the election of the nominees named below unless authority to vote for any or all of the nominees is withheld.

If elected, each Trustee will serve as a Trustee until the next meeting of the shareholders, if any, called for the purpose of electing Trustees or until the election and qualification of a successor. If a Trustee sooner dies, resigns, retires (required at end of calendar year in which the Trustee turns age 75), or is removed as provided in the organizational documents of the Trust, the Board may, in its discretion and subject to the 1940 Act, select another person to fill the vacant position. If any or all of the nominees should become unavailable for election at the Meeting due to events not now known or anticipated, the persons named as proxies will vote for such other nominee or nominees as the current Independent Trustees may recommend.

The Funds are not required, and do not intend, to hold annual shareholder meetings for the purpose of electing Trustees. Shareholders also have the right to call a meeting to remove a Trustee or to take other action described in the Trust’s organizational documents. Also, if at any time less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by the Trust’s shareholders, the Trustees then in office will promptly call a shareholder meeting for the purpose of electing Trustees.

The nominees for Trustees and their backgrounds are shown on the following pages. This information includes each nominee’s name, age, principal occupation(s) and other information about the nominee’s professional background, including other directorships the nominee holds or held, during the past five years. The address of each nominee is 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206. Each nominee, other than Raudline Etienne and Gary A. Poliner, is currently a trustee of Janus Aspen Series (“JAS”), another registered investment company advised by Janus Capital (JAS and the Trust, are collectively referred to herein as the “Janus Funds”). Collectively, the Janus Funds consist of 58 series as of March 31, 2016.

General Information Regarding the Board of Trustees

The Trust is governed by the Board of Trustees, which is responsible for and oversees the management and operations of the Trust and each of the Funds on behalf of Fund shareholders. Each member of the Board is an Independent Trustee, including the Board’s Chairman. The Board’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to, oversight of the Funds’ officers and service providers, including Janus Capital, which is responsible for the Trust’s day-to-day operations. The Trustees approve all of the agreements entered into with the Funds’ service providers, including the investment management agreements with Janus Capital and the Funds’ subadvisers. The Trustees

8


are also responsible for determining or changing the Funds’ investment objectives, policies, and available investment techniques, as well as for overseeing the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. In carrying out these responsibilities, the Trustees are assisted by the Trust’s independent auditor (who reports directly to the Trust’s Audit Committee), independent counsel, an independent fee consultant, and other specialists as appropriate, all of whom are selected by the Trustees. The Trustees also meet regularly with and without representatives of Janus Capital or its affiliates present.

The Trustees discharge their responsibilities collectively as a Board, as well as through Board committees, each of which operates pursuant to a Board-approved charter that delineates the specific responsibilities of that committee. For example, the Board as a whole is responsible for oversight of the annual process by which the Board considers and approves each Fund’s investment advisory agreement with Janus Capital, but specific matters related to oversight of the Funds’ independent auditors have been delegated by the Board to its Audit Committee, subject to approval of the Audit Committee’s recommendations by the Board. The members and responsibilities of each Proposal withinBoard committee are summarized below. In addition to serving on certain committees, the Chairman of the Board (“Board Chairman”) is responsible for presiding at all meetings of the Board, and has other duties as may be assigned by the Trustees from time to time. The Board Chairman also serves as the Board’s liaison to Janus Capital with respect to all matters related to the Funds that are not otherwise delegated to the chair of a Board committee. The Board has determined that this leadership structure is appropriate based on (1) the number of Funds overseen and the various investment objectives of those Funds; (2) the manner in which the Funds’ shares are marketed and distributed; and (3) the responsibilities entrusted to Janus Capital and its affiliates to oversee the Trust’s day-to-day operations, including the management of each Fund’s portfolio and the distribution of Fund shares. On an annual basis, the Board conducts a self-evaluation that considers, among other matters, whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively and whether, given the size and composition of the Board and each of its committees, the Trustees are able to oversee effectively the number of Janus Funds in the complex.

There were six regular meetings and four special meetings of the Trustees held during the previous 12 months ended December 31, 2015. Each Trustee attended all of these meetings with few exceptions during that 12-month period. Since the Trust is not required to convene annual shareholder meetings, there is no policy requiring Trustee attendance at such meetings.

The Board of Trustees proposed for election at the Meeting will be comprised of eight trustees. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted rules that require at least 75% of the board members of a fund to be “independent” in order for the fund to take advantage of certain exemptive rules under the 1940 Act. If the slate of nominees is approved by shareholders, 100% of the Board of Trustees will continue to be “independent.”

Committees of the Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees has six standing committees that perform specialized functions: an Audit Committee, a Brokerage Committee, an Investment Oversight Committee, a Legal and Regulatory Committee, a Nominating and Governance Committee, and a Pricing Committee. Each committee is comprised entirely of Independent Trustees and has a written charter that delineates its duties and powers. Each committee reviews and evaluates matters as specified in its charter and makes recommendations to the Trustees as it deems appropriate. Each committee may utilize the resources of counsel to the Independent Trustees and the Trust, independent auditors and other experts. The committees normally meet in conjunction with regular meetings of the Trustees but may convene at other times (in person or by telephone) as deemed appropriate or necessary. The membership and chairperson of each committee is appointed by the Trustees upon recommendation of the Trust’s Nominating and Governance Committee.

Audit Committee.    The Audit Committee reviews the Trust’s financial reporting process, the system of internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, Form N-CSR filings, and the audit process. The Committee’s review of the audit process includes, among other things, the recommendation of the appointment and compensation of the Trust’s independent auditor, which performs the audits of the Funds’ financial statements, oversight of the independent auditor, and pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services. The Committee receives annual representations from the Trust’s independent auditor as to its independence. Currently, the members of the Audit Committee are: William D. Cvengros (Chairman) and William D. Stewart. The Committee held six meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2015.

Brokerage Committee.    The Brokerage Committee reviews and makes recommendations regarding matters related to the Trust’s use of brokerage commissions and placement of Fund portfolio transactions, including policies regarding the allocation of brokerage commissions, directed brokerage, “step-out” arrangements and client commission arrangements. Currently, the members of the Brokerage Committee are: Alan A. Brown (Chairman), James T. Rothe, and William D. Stewart. The Committee held four meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2015.

Investment Oversight Committee.    The Investment Oversight Committee oversees the investment activities of the Funds. The Committee meets regularly with investment personnel at Janus Capital and any subadviser to a Fund to review the investment performance and strategies of the Funds in light of their stated investment objectives and policies. The Committee reviews various matters related to the operations of the Trust’s money market funds, including compliance with the Trust’s Money Market Fund Procedures and Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Currently, the members of the Investment Oversight Committee are: William F. McCalpin (Chairman), Alan A. Brown, William D. Cvengros, James T. Rothe, William D. Stewart, and Linda S. Wolf. Mr. Cvengros serves as the Lead Trustee for money

10


market matters. The Committee held five meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2015.

Legal and Regulatory Committee.    The Legal and Regulatory Committee oversees compliance with various procedures adopted by the Trust, reviews certain regulatory filings made with the SEC, and oversees, among other matters, the implementation and administration of the Trust’s Proxy Voting Guidelines. Currently, the members of the Legal and Regulatory Committee are: Linda S. Wolf (Chairman), Alan A. Brown, and William F. McCalpin. The Committee held eight meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2015.

Nominating and Governance Committee.    The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies and recommends individuals for Trustee membership, consults with Fund management and the Board Chairman in planning Trustee meetings, and oversees the administration of, and ensures compliance with, the Governance Procedures and Guidelines adopted by the Trustees, which includes review of, and proposed changes to, Trustee compensation. In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee leads the Trustees’ annual self-assessment process. Currently, the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are: James T. Rothe (Chairman), William F. McCalpin, and Linda S. Wolf. The Committee held eight meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2015.

Pricing Committee.    The Pricing Committee determines the fair value of restricted and other securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or that are deemed not to be reliable, pursuant to procedures adopted by the Trustees. The Committee also reviews other matters related to pricing the Funds’ securities. Currently, the members of the Pricing Committee are: William D. Stewart (Chairman), James T. Rothe, and Linda S. Wolf. The Committee held five meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2015.

Process for Identifying and Evaluating Trustee Nominees and Nominee Qualifications

The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board is responsible for identifying and nominating candidates for appointment as Trustees. As stated in the Committee’s charter, (1) the principal criterion for selection of candidates for the Board is the candidate’s ability to contribute to the overall functioning of the Board and to carry out the responsibilities of a Trustee, and (2) the Trustees should, collectively, represent a broad cross section of backgrounds, functional disciplines, and experience. In considering a potential candidate’s qualifications to serve as a Trustee, the Committee may also take into account a variety of other diverse criteria, including, but not limited to (i) knowledge of the investment company industry; (ii) relevant experience; (iii) educational background; (iv) reputation for high ethical standards and personal and professional integrity; (v) financial, technical or other expertise; (vi) time commitment to the performance of duties of a Trustee; (vii) stature commensurate with the responsibility of representing Fund shareholders; and (viii) if a candidate is nominated for an Independent Trustee position, that the person meets the

11


independence criteria established by the 1940 Act and the Governance Procedures and Guidelines adopted by the Trustees.

Consistent with the Trust’s organizational documents and procedures adopted by the Committee, the Committee will consider Trustee nominations made by shareholders. Shareholders of a Fund may submit names of potential candidates for consideration by the Committee by submitting their recommendations to the Trust’s Secretary, at the address of the principal executive office of the Trust, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Committee. A copy of such procedures is included as Appendix 1 to the Nominating and Governance Committee Charter attached to this Proxy Statement as wellAppendix A.

The Committee may use any process it deems appropriate for identifying and evaluating candidates for service as a Trustee, which may include, without limitation, personal interviews, background checks, written submissions by the candidates, third party references and the use of consultants, including professional recruiting firms, which the Committee utilized to assist its efforts to identify and evaluate potential nominees during its most recent search. The Committee will evaluate nominees for a particular vacancy using the same process regardless of whether the nominee is submitted by a Fund shareholder or identified by some other means. On an annual basis, the Board conducts a self-evaluation that considers, among other matters, the contributions of individual Trustees, whether the Board has an appropriate size and the right mix of characteristics, experiences and skills, and whether the age distribution and diversity among the Trustees is appropriate.

After completion of its process to identify and evaluate Trustee nominees, and after giving due consideration to all factors it deemed appropriate, the Committee approved for nomination, and recommended that the Trustees approve for nomination, the eight nominees identified below. The Committee believes that if elected, each of the nominees qualifies to serve as an Independent Trustee. Each nominee’s background is detailed above. The Committee and the Trustees considered the totality of the information available to them, and took into account the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills discussed below to conclude that each nominee should serve as a Trustee, in light of the Trust’s business and structure. In reaching these conclusions, the Committee and the Trustees, in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment, evaluated each nominee based on the criteria described above, and reviewed the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that each nominee presented, none of which by itself was considered dispositive.

Board Oversight of Risk Management

Janus Capital, as part of its responsibilities for the day-to-day operations of the Funds, is responsible for day-to-day risk management for the Funds. The Board, as part of its overall oversight responsibilities for the Funds’ operations, oversees Janus Capital’s risk management efforts with respect to the Funds. In the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, the Board also separately considers potential risks that may impact the Funds. The Board discharges its oversight duties and considers potential risks in a number of different ways, including, but not limited to, receiving reports on a regular basis, either directly or through an appropriate committee, from Janus Capital and its officers. Reports received include those from, among others, Janus Capital’s (1) senior managers responsible for oversight of global risk; (2) senior managers responsible for oversight of portfolio construction and trading risk; (3) Chief Compliance Officer; and (4) Director of Internal Audit. At the time these reports are presented, the Board or the committee receiving the report will, as it deems necessary, invite the presenter to participate in an executive session to discuss matters outside the presence of any other officers or representatives of Janus Capital or its affiliates. The Board also receives reports from other entities and individuals unaffiliated with Janus Capital, including reports from the Funds’ other service providers and from independent consultants hired by the Board.

13


Various Board committees also will consider particular risk items as the committee addresses items and issues specific to the jurisdiction of that committee. For example, the Pricing Committee will consider valuation risk as part of its regular oversight responsibilities, and similarly, the Brokerage Committee will consider counterparty risk associated with the Funds’ portfolio transactions. The Board also may be apprised of particular risk management matters in connection with its general oversight and approval of similar proposals by shareholdersvarious Fund matters brought before the Board.

The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer for the Funds (“Fund CCO”) who (1) reports directly to the Board and (2) provides a comprehensive written report annually and presents quarterly at the Board’s regular meetings. The Fund CCO, who also serves as Janus Capital’s Chief Compliance Officer, discusses relevant risk issues that may impact the Funds and/or Janus Capital’s services to the Funds, and routinely meets with the Board in private without representatives of Janus Adviser Mid Cap ValueCapital or its affiliates present. The Fund CCO also provides the Board with updates on the application of the Funds’ compliance policies and Mid Cap Value Portfolio, whichprocedures, including how these procedures are series, respectively,designed to mitigate risk and what, if any, changes have been made to enhance the procedures. The Fund CCO may also report to the Board on anad hocbasis in the event that he identifies issues associated with the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures that could expose the Funds to additional risk or adversely impact the ability of Janus Adviser Series ("JAD")Capital to provide services to the Funds.

The Board believes that its leadership structure permits it to effectively discharge its oversight responsibilities with respect to the Funds’ risk management process.

Compensation of Trustees

The Trust pays each Independent Trustee an annual retainer plus a fee for each regular in-person meeting of the Funds, at 1-800-628-8528. 7 PROPOSAL 1 AND PROPOSAL 2 APPROVE A NEW SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT BETWEEN JANUS CAPITAL AND PWM INTRODUCTION PWM currently servesTrustees attended, a fee for in-person meetings of committees attended if convened on a date other than that of a regularly scheduled meeting, and a fee for telephone meetings of the Trustees and committees. In addition, committee chairs and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees receive an additional supplemental retainer. Each current Independent Trustee also receives fees from other Janus funds for serving as subadviser to each Fund pursuant to a separate subadvisory agreement between PWMTrustee of those funds and those amounts are included below. Janus Capital each dated July 1, 2004 (each, together with any amendments thereto, a "Current Subadvisory Agreement"pays persons who are directors, officers, or "Agreement"). In 2003,employees of Janus Capital acquired 30%or any affiliate thereof, or any Trustee not considered an “independent” Trustee, for their services as Trustees or officers. All of the outstanding ownership interests of PWM, and also obtained the right to purchase certain additional blocksTrustees or nominees are “independent;” therefore, none of the outstanding ownership interests of PWM.Trustees are paid by Janus Capital. The 70% of PWM that is not currently ownedTrust and other funds managed by Janus Capital is beneficially owned by several affiliates of PWM, including certain employees of PWM and members of their respective families. On July 7, 2008, Janus Capital and the Sellers entered into a Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Janus Capital will acquire an additional 50% of PWM (as previously defined, the "Pending Acquisition"), pending shareholder approval of various proposals. In connection with the consummation of the Pending Acquisition, PWM will change its name to "Perkins Investment Management LLC."

The Trust’s Nominating and Governance Committee, which consists solely of Independent Trustees, annually reviews and recommends to the Independent Trustees any changes to compensation paid by the Funds to the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees also meet at least annually to review their fees in connection with the recommendations of the Nominating and Governance Committee, to ensure that retained interest under certain circumstances. such fees continue to be appropriate in light of the Trustees’ responsibilities as well as in relation to fees paid to trustees of other similarly situated mutual fund complexes.

MANAGEMENT AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS

Investment Adviser and are described in this Proxy Statement. The Board of Trustees has authorized the submission of the New Subadvisory Agreements to shareholders for approval with respect to their applicable Fund. Shareholders of Janus Mid Cap Value Fund will vote on Proposal 1 and shareholders of Janus Small Cap Value Fund will vote on Proposal 2. 8 INFORMATION CONCERNING THE SUBADVISER PWM, to be renamed "Perkins Investment Management LLC" following the consummation of the Pending Acquisition, is principally located at 311 S. Wacker Drive, Suite 6000, Chicago, Illinois 60606. PWM is a subsidiary of Janus Capital and is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")Administrator.    PWM and its predecessor have been in the investment management business since 1984. PWM also serves as investment adviser or subadviser to separately managed accounts and other registered investment companies. Janus Capital currently has a 30% ownership stake in PWM. As of March 31, 2008, PWM had $10 billion in assets under management. It is expected that, immediately following the Pending Acquisition, the same investment and senior management personnel will remain responsible for the day-to-day operations of PWM. Assuming the closing of the Pending Acquisition, PWM will be 80% owned by Janus Capital, located at 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206, and 20% owned by a newly formed limited liability company called "Omni Investment Holdings LLC," which in turn will be owned by certain principal employees of PWM, among others. PWM actsserves as the investment adviser or subadviser to other investment companies with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Funds. Information on those similar investment companies is set forth in Exhibit C to this Proxy Statement. PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF THE SUBADVISER. Information regarding the principal executive officers and directors of PWM is set forth below. Unless otherwise noted, the principal address for each person listed below, as it relates to his duties with PWM, is the same as that of PWM.
NAME POSITION WITH PWM ---- ----------------- Robert Perkins............... President, Manager Gregory Wolf................. Chief Operating Officer N. Theodore Hans............. Chief Compliance Officer Jeffrey Kautz................ Chief Investment Officer, Manager Gary Black*.................. Manager
--------------- * Principal address is 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206. Following the consummation of the Pending Acquisition, the composition of the seven-person Board of Directors of PWM will consist of three representatives from PWM and four representatives from Janus. COMPARISON OF THE CURRENT AND NEW SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS Each Current Subadvisory Agreement and the corresponding New Subadvisory Agreement are substantially similar, except for the proposed reallocation to Janus 9 Capital of the obligation to compensate PWM, or any subadviser engaged by Janus Capital. Differences also include dates of execution and termination provisions, and the New Subadvisory Agreements reflect the new name of PWM as "Perkins Investment Management LLC." A description of the Current and New Subadvisory Agreements follows. Subadvisory Services. Under the terms of each Current Subadvisory Agreement, PWM: (i) manages the investment operations of the Fund; (ii) keeps Janus Capital fully informed as to the valuation of assets of the Fund, its condition, investment decisions and considerations; (iii) maintains all books and records required under federal securities law relating to day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund; (iv) performs certain limited related administrative functions; and (v) provides the Trustees and Janus Capital with economic, operational, and investment data and reports. Additionally, PWM determines what securities and other assets of the Fund will be acquired, held, disposed of or loaned, in conformity with the investment objectives, policies, and restrictions established by the Trustees and set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The terms of each New Subadvisory Agreement relating to the provision of such advisory services are the same as those of each Current Subadvisory Agreement. Compensation. In return for the services provided, PWM is entitled to receive a subadvisory fee, paid by the Fund, that is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate equal to 50% of the investment advisory fee otherwise payable by each Fund to Janus Capital (calculated after any applicable performance fee adjustments, fee waivers, and expense reimbursements). Under the Current Subadvisory Agreement, the Fund pays the subadvisory fee directly to PWM. Under the New Subadvisory Agreement, Janus Capital, and not the Fund, pays PWM its subadvisory fee. Shareholders of Janus Small Cap Value Fund should note that, if they approve the proposed Amended Advisory Agreement for that Fund, PWM's subadvisory fee rate will also adjust up or down in line with the performance fee, as Janus Capital will pay 50% of the advisory fee it receives from the Fund to PWM. During the most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, Janus Mid Cap Value Fund and Janus Small Cap Value Fund paid subadvisory fees to PWM of $19,398,485 and $6,429,645, respectively. If the New Subadvisory Agreement had been in effect for Janus Mid Cap Value Fund, PWM would have received the same amount of fees with respect to the Fund except those fees would have been paid by the Fund to Janus Capital and Janus Capital in turn would have paid PWM. With respect to Janus Small Cap Value Fund, the following table summarizes the pro forma subadvisory fees based on the average net assets of the Fund that would have been paid by Janus Capital to PWM if the New Subadvisory Agreement had been in effect for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007. This information 10 assumes that the Performance Adjustment (as described further under Proposal 4) would have been in effect during the fiscal year and that it would have been calculated over the 36-month period ended October 31, 2007. The last column indicates the percentage increase or decrease of the fee that PWM would have received had the proposed performance-based fee arrangement been in effect during the period.
AVERAGE NET ASSETS PRO FORMA % INCREASE(+) (000'S) SUBADVISORY FEES OR DECREASE(-) ------------------ ---------------- -------------- $1,805,496 $4,651,234 -27.7%
In addition to the subadvisory fee paid to PWM for services provided to Janus Small Cap Value Fund, Janus Capital also pays PWM a fee equivalent to approximately one-half of the reduction in the advisory fee paid by Janus Small Cap Value Fund that Janus Capital agreed to in August 2004 in connection with the Assurance of Discontinuance entered into with the New York Attorney General. As a result, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, Janus Capital paid PWM an additional $352,127. Liability. Each Current Subadvisory Agreement provides that PWM, and any affiliate of PWM performing services for the Funds contemplated thereunder (including any managers, members, owners, directors, and officers of PWM and such affiliates), shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission taken with respect to the Fund, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of their respective duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of their respective obligations and duties under the Agreement, and except to the extent otherwise provided by law. The provisions of the New Subadvisory Agreements with respect to liability are the same as those of the Current Subadvisory Agreements. Termination of the Agreement. Each Current Subadvisory Agreement terminates automatically in the event of its assignment or upon the termination of the corresponding investment advisory agreement with Janus Capital. Each Current Subadvisory Agreement may be terminated, without penalty, either by the vote of a 1940 Act Majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities or by the Board, upon 60 days' written notice to PWM. Each Current Subadvisory Agreement may also be terminated, without penalty, by Janus Capital or the Trust: (i) by giving 60 days' written notice of termination to PWM; (ii) if PWM materially breaches any of the representations and warranties set forth in the Agreement and such breach is not cured within 20 days' of notice thereof; or (iii) if PWM becomes unable to discharge its duties and obligations under the Agreement. Additionally, each Agreement may be terminated by PWM (i) upon a material breach by Janus Capital of any of the obligations set forth in the Agreement, if such breach is not cured within 20 days after notice thereof, or (ii) upon three years' written notice. 11 Each New Subadvisory Agreement also terminates automatically in the event of its assignment or upon termination of the Fund's corresponding investment advisory agreement. Each New Subadvisory Agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, either by the shareholders of the Fund acting by vote of at least a majority of its outstanding voting securities, or by the Trustees, provided in either case that 90 days' advance written notice of termination be given to PWM at its principal place of business. Each New Subadvisory Agreement may also be terminated (i) by Janus Capital or by PWM at any time, without penalty, by giving 90 days' advance written notice of termination to the other party, or (ii) by Janus Capital or the Trust, without advance notice, if PWM becomes unable to discharge its duties and obligations under the New Subadvisory Agreement. Additional Information. Each Trustee is an "Independent Trustee," meaning that he or she is not an "interested person" (as defined by the 1940 Act) of the Trust. Each Current Subadvisory Agreement, dated July 1, 2004, as amended June 14, 2006, was last submitted to shareholders for approval on March 7, 2003 in connection with the reorganization of each Fund from another fund complex into the Janus fund complex. At a meeting of the Trustees held on December 14, 2007, the Trustees approved the continuation of each Current Subadvisory Agreement. Each Fund's Current Subadvisory Agreement continues in effect until February 1, 2009, and thereafter from year to year as long as such continuance is approved at least annually by a majority of the Independent Trustees, and by either a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or the Board of Trustees. In conjunction with their approval of the continuance of the Current Subadvisory Agreements, the Board noted that at a meeting held on November 6, 2007, they had previously approved the New Subadvisory Agreements and that such new agreements would not take effect unless approved by shareholders. A discussion of the Board's considerations and recommendations concerning the New Subadvisory Agreements at the November 6, 2007 board meeting follows below. Each New Subadvisory Agreement is contingent upon, and will become effective upon consummation of, the closing of the Pending Acquisition, subject to certain other conditions. Each Current Subadvisory Agreement will be in effect until it terminates in accordance with its terms, including or until the consummation of the transaction between PWM and Janus Capital. If approved, each New Subadvisory Agreement will be in effect for an initial term ending on February 1, 2009, and may continue in effect thereafter from year to year if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by either the Board of Trustees or the affirmative vote of a 1940 Act Majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund and, in either event, by the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for such purpose. BOARD APPROVAL AND RECOMMENDATION The Trustees of Janus Investment Fund, all of whom are Independent Trustees and none of whom has ever been affiliated with Janus Capital or PWM, considered 12 the New Subadvisory Agreements for the Funds. In the course of their consideration of the New Subadvisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees met in executive session and were advised by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by Janus Capital and PWM in response to requests of the Independent Trustees and their counsel. They also considered information provided by their independent fee consultant. Based on their evaluation of that information and other factors, on November 6, 2007, the Independent Trustees approved the New Subadvisory Agreement for each Fund, subject to shareholder approval. In considering whether to approve the New Subadvisory Agreements, the Board of Trustees noted that, except for the proposed reallocation to Janus Capital of the obligation to pay compensation to the subadviser, the New Subadvisory Agreements are substantially similar to the Current Subadvisory Agreements, which were most recently approved by them at a meeting held on December 20, 2006. The Board also met with representatives of PWM and considered the information provided by Janus Capital in preparation for the Trustees' consideration of advisory contracts at their meetings held in December 2007. The Board took into account the investment performance of PWM as subadviser to the Funds and concluded that such performance was acceptable. The Board considered information regarding the Pending Acquisition, including the allocation of control between Janus Capital and the other beneficial owners of PWM, and the potential impact of the Pending Acquisition on the finances and operation of PWM. The Board noted that Janus Capital had maintained a substantial ownership interest in PWM since 2003. The Board also noted Janus Capital's intention to build a Value Platform, to maintain each Fund's current investment philosophy, and to retain key investment personnel. Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES The Trustees' analysis of the nature, extent, and quality of PWM's services to the Funds took into account the investment objectives and strategies of the Funds and the knowledge the Trustees gained from their regular meetings with PWM throughout prior years with respect to the Funds. In addition, the Trustees reviewed PWM's resources and key personnel, especially those who would be providing investment management services to the Funds. The Trustees also considered other services to be provided to the Funds by PWM. Janus Capital advised the Board of Trustees that it expects that there will be no diminution in the scope and quality of advisory services provided to the Funds as a result of the Pending Acquisition or New Subadvisory Agreements. The Trustees concluded that the subadvisory relationship and arrangement was not expected to adversely affect the nature, extent or quality of services provided to the Funds, and that the Funds would continue to benefit from services provided under the New Subadvisory Agreements. They also concluded that the quality of PWM's services to the Funds has been adequate. In reaching their conclusions, the 13 Trustees considered: (i) information provided by Janus Capital and PWM in connection with the Trustees' consideration of the New Subadvisory Agreements; (ii) the key factors identified in materials previously provided to the Trustees by their independent counsel; (iii) that the New Subadvisory Agreements will not cause any change in the portfolio managers who handle the day-to-day management responsibilities for the Funds; and (iv) that there will be no change in the overall investment strategies of the Funds. They also concluded that PWM's financial condition was sound. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED The Trustees considered the subadvisory fee rates and fee structures under the New Subadvisory Agreements, as well as the overall fee structure of the Funds. The Trustees examined the fee information and expenses for the Funds in comparison to information for other comparable funds, as provided by Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper"), an independent provider of investment company data. In reviewing the data, the Trustees noted that, under the terms of the proposed Amended Advisory Agreements, the Funds' expense structures would now include payment to only Janus Capital for investment management services, as opposed to payment to both Janus Capital and PWM. The Trustees considered the methodology used by PWM in determining compensation payable to its portfolio managers and the competition for investment management talent. The Trustees also considered that, other than the potential impact of performance fees for Janus Small Cap Value Fund, there will be no change to the overall fees paid by the Funds or services provided to the Funds. The Trustees concluded that the estimated overall expense ratio of each class of shares of the Funds, taking into account any expense limitations, was comparable to or more favorable than the median expense ratios of their peers, and that the fees that the Funds will pay to Janus Capital (a portion of which Janus Capital will pay to PWM) are reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services to be provided, taking into account (1) the fees charged by other advisers and subadvisers for managing comparable mutual funds with similar strategies and (2) the impact of the performance-based fee structure, as applicable. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE The Trustees considered the performance results of the Funds over various time periods. They reviewed information comparing each Fund's performance with the performance of comparable funds and peer groups identified by Lipper, and with each Fund's benchmark index. They concluded that the performance of the Funds was acceptable under current market conditions. Although the performance of the Funds lagged benchmark indices for certain periods, the Trustees also concluded that Janus Capital and PWM had taken appropriate steps to address those instances of underperformance. 14 BENEFITS DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH PWM The Trustees also considered benefits that would accrue to the Funds from their relationship with PWM. The Trustees concluded that, other than the services to be provided by PWM pursuant to the New Subadvisory Agreements and the fees to be paid indirectly by the Funds for such services, the Funds, Janus Capital, and PWM may potentially benefit from their relationship with one another in other ways. They also concluded that success of their relationship could attract other business to Janus Capital and PWM or to other Janus funds, and that the success of Janus Capital and PWM could enhance each firm's ability to serve the Funds. After full consideration of the above factors, as well as other factors, the Trustees concluded that approving the New Subadvisory Agreement for each Fund was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees voted to approve the New Subadvisory Agreements and to recommend them to shareholders for their approval. REQUIRED VOTE Approval of each New Subadvisory Agreement requires the affirmative vote of a 1940 Act Majority of the Fund to which it applies, all share classes voting together as a single class. Implementation of each New Subadvisory Agreement referred to in Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 is contingent upon the approval of each Proposal within this Proxy Statement, as well as upon the approval of similar proposals on new subadvisory agreements and amended and restated investment advisory agreements by shareholders of Janus Adviser Mid Cap Value Fund, a series of JAD, and Mid Cap Value Portfolio, a series of JAS. Implementation of the New Subadvisory Agreements is also contingent upon the closing of the Pending Acquisition in addition to other conditions as described in the Purchase Agreement or otherwise agreed to by Janus Capital and PWM. If shareholders of a Fund do not approve the Proposal applicable to their Fund or if any other contingency is not met, the Current Subadvisory Agreements will remain in effect and the Board of Trustees will take such further action as it deems to be in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES OF THE TRUST UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE NEW SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT FOR YOUR FUND. PROPOSAL 3 AND PROPOSAL 4 -- GENERAL INFORMATION APPROVE AN AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOUR FUND AND JANUS CAPITAL INTRODUCTION Janus Capital currently serves as investment adviser to each Fund pursuant to a separate investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, 15 and Janus Capital, each dated July 1, 2004 (each, together with any amendments thereto, a "Current Advisory Agreement"). In conjunction with Janus Capital's Pending Acquisition of a greater ownership interest in its affiliated investment adviser, PWM, Janus Capital undertook a review of the structure of the advisory relationships currently in place between Janus Capital, PWM and the Janus funds subadvised by PWM, including the Funds. The proposed Amended Advisory Agreements would reallocate the obligation to compensate PWM for its services as subadviser from your Fund to Janus Capital. The proposed change is in line with subadvisory payment structures in the industry and allows Janus Capital to move to a more cohesive operating platform with respect to its subadvised funds, including the Funds. The proposed Amended Advisory Agreement for Janus Small Cap Value Fund will also change that Fund's investment advisory fee structure from a fixed rate to a rate that adjusts up or down based on the Fund's performance relative to its benchmark index, the Russell 2000(R) Value Index. The 1940 Act requires that shareholders approve material changes to the terms of an investment advisory agreement. Because the proposed changes reflected in the Proposals may be deemed to be material changes to the Current Advisory Agreement, you are being asked to approve an Amended Advisory Agreement for your Fund. A form of the proposed Amended Advisory Agreement for Janus Mid Cap Value Fund and Janus Small Cap Value Fund is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit B. Except for the reallocation of the obligation to pay a subadviser, under these proposals, and the addition of a performance-based advisory fee for Janus Small Cap Value Fund, each proposed Amended Advisory Agreement is substantially similar in all material respects as its corresponding Current Advisory Agreement. The Board of Trustees has authorized the submission of the Amended Advisory Agreement for each Fund to that Fund's shareholders for their approval. Shareholders of Janus Mid Cap Value Fund will vote on Proposal 3 and shareholders of Janus Small Cap Value Fund will vote on Proposal 4.

Information concerning services provided by Janus Distributors LLC ("Janus Distributors"), the Funds' distributor, and Janus Services LLC ("Janus Services"), the Funds' transfer agent, each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, and a description of any fees paid by the Funds to Janus Distributors and Janus Services, is included under "Additional Information About the Funds -- Other Fund Service Providers" in this Proxy Statement. Liability. Each Fund's Current and Amended Advisory Agreement provides that Janus Capital shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission taken with respect to the Fund, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the agreement, and except to the extent otherwise provided by law. Termination of the Agreement. Each Fund's Current and Amended Advisory Agreement continues in effect from year to year so long as such continuance is specifically approved annually by a majority of the Funds' Independent Trustees, and by either a 1940 Act Majority of the outstanding voting securities of each Fund or the Board of Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for such purpose. Each Fund's Current and Amended Advisory Agreement: (i) may be terminated, without penalty, by the Fund or Janus Capital on 60 days' written notice; (ii) terminates automatically in the event of its assignment; and (iii) generally, may not be amended without the approval by vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Fund, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, and, to the extent required by the 1940 Act, the vote of a 1940 Act Majority of the outstanding voting securities of that Fund. Additional Information. The date of each Current Advisory Agreement between Janus Capital and each Fund, the date it was last considered and reviewed by the Trustees, the date when it was last approved by the shareholders of each 18 Fund, and the reason it was last submitted for shareholder approval are set forth below:
DATE OF DATE LAST DATE LAST CURRENT CONSIDERED BY SUBMITTED TO FUND AGREEMENT TRUSTEES SHAREHOLDERS REASON ---- ------------- ----------------- --------------- ------------- Janus Mid Cap Value Fund... July 1, 2004 December 14, 2007 January 9, 2006 Approval of as amended performance- February 1, based fee 2006 and June structure 14, 2006 Janus Small Cap Value Fund... July 1, 2004 December 14, 2007 March 7, 2003 Reorganization as amended of the Fund June 14, 2006 into the Janus funds complex
At a meeting of the Trustees held on December 14, 2007, the Trustees approved the continuation of the Current Advisory Agreement through February 1, 2009. In conjunction with their approval of the continuance of the Current Advisory Agreement, the Board noted that at a meeting held on November 6, 2007, they had previously approved the Amended Advisory Agreements and that such new agreements would not take effect unless approved by shareholders. A discussion of the Board's considerations and recommendations concerning the Amended Advisory Agreements at the November 6, 2007 board meeting follows below. The implementation of the Amended Advisory Agreements is contingent upon, and will become effective upon consummation of, the closing of the Pending Acquisition, subject to certain other conditions. The Current Advisory Agreements will be in effect until they terminate in accordance with their terms, including or until the consummation of the transaction between PWM and Janus Capital. If approved, the Amended Advisory Agreements will be in effect for an initial term ending on February 1, 2009, and may continue in effect thereafter from year to year if such continuation is specifically approved at least annually by either the Board of Trustees or the affirmative vote of a 1940 Act Majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund and, in either event, by the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for such purpose. BOARD APPROVAL AND RECOMMENDATION The Trustees considered the Amended Advisory Agreements for the Funds. In the course of their consideration of the Amended Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees met in executive session and were advised by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by Janus Capital in response to requests of the Independent Trustees and their counsel. They also considered information provided by their independent fee consultant. Based on their evaluation of that information 19 and other factors, on November 6, 2007, the Independent Trustees approved the Amended Advisory Agreement for each Fund, subject to shareholder approval. In considering whether to approve the Amended Advisory Agreements, the Board of Trustees noted that, except for the proposed reallocation to Janus Capital of the obligation to pay compensation to any subadviser, and the performance-based fee structure proposed for Janus Small Cap Value Fund, the Amended Advisory Agreements are substantially similar to the Current Advisory Agreements, which were most recently approved by them at a meeting held on December 20, 2006. The Board also met with representatives of Janus Capital and considered information provided by Janus Capital in preparation for the Trustees' consideration of advisory contracts at their meetings held in December 2007. The Board took into account the services provided by Janus Capital in its capacity as investment adviser to the Funds and concluded that the services provided were acceptable. Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES The Trustees reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Janus Capital, taking into account the investment objective and strategies of each Fund and the knowledge the Trustees gained from their regular meetings with management on at least a quarterly basis, and their ongoing review of information related to the Funds. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the resources and key personnel of Janus Capital, especially those who provide investment management services to the Funds. The Trustees also considered other services provided to the Funds by Janus Capital. Janus Capital also advised the Board of Trustees that it expects that there will be no diminution in the scope and quality of advisory services provided to the Funds as a result of the Amended Advisory Agreements. The Trustees concluded that the advisory relationship and arrangement was not expected to adversely affect the nature, extent or quality of services provided to the Funds, and that the Funds would continue to benefit from services provided under the Amended Advisory Agreements. They also concluded that the quality of Janus Capital's services to the Funds has been adequate. In reaching their conclusions, the Trustees considered: (i) information provided by Janus Capital for their consideration of the Amended Advisory Agreements; (ii) the key factors identified in materials previously provided to the Trustees by their independent counsel; and (iii) the reasonableness of the fees payable by shareholders of the Funds. They also concluded that Janus Capital's financial condition was sound. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED The Trustees considered the fee structure under the Amended Advisory Agreements, as well as the overall fee structure of the Funds. The Trustees examined the fee information and expenses for the Funds in comparison to information for other comparable funds, as provided by Lipper. In reviewing the data, the Trustees noted that the Funds' expense structures would now include 20 payment only to Janus Capital for investment management services, as opposed to payment to both Janus Capital and PWM. The Trustees considered the structure by which Janus Capital and PWM would be paid for their services, including the implementation of the new performance-based fee structure for Janus Small Cap Value Fund. The Trustees also considered the overall fees of the Funds for services provided to the Funds. The Trustees concluded that the estimated overall expense ratio of each class of shares of the Funds, taking into account any expense limitations, was comparable to or more favorable than the median expense ratios of their peers, and that the fees that the Funds will pay to Janus Capital (a portion of which Janus Capital will pay to PWM) are reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services to be provided, taking into consideration (1) the fees charged by other advisers and subadvisers for managing comparable mutual funds with similar strategies and (2) the impact of the performance-based fee structure, as applicable. PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS The Trustees considered the performance results of the Funds over various time periods. They reviewed information comparing each Fund's performance with the performance of comparable funds and peer groups identified by Lipper, and with each Fund's benchmark index. They concluded that the performance of the Funds was acceptable under current market conditions. Although the performance of the Funds lagged benchmark indices for certain periods, the Trustees also concluded that Janus Capital and PWM, as the Funds' subadviser, had taken appropriate steps to address those instances of underperformance. OTHER BENEFITS FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH JANUS CAPITAL The Trustees also considered benefits that would accrue to the Funds from their relationship with Janus Capital. The Trustees concluded that, other than the services to be provided by Janus Capital pursuant to the Amended Advisory Agreements and the fees to be paid by the Funds for such services, the Funds, Janus Capital and PWM may potentially benefit from their relationship with one another in other ways. They also concluded that success of their relationship could attract other business to Janus Capital and PWM or to other Janus funds, and that the success of Janus Capital and PWM could enhance each firm's ability to serve the Funds. After full consideration of the above factors, as well as other factors, the Trustees concluded that approving the Amended Advisory Agreement for each Fund was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees, all of whom are Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Amended Advisory Agreements and to recommend them to shareholders for their approval. 21 REQUIRED VOTE Approval of each Amended Advisory Agreement requires the affirmative vote of a 1940 Act Majority of the Fund to which it applies, all share classes voting together as a single class. Implementation of each Amended Advisory Agreement referred to in Proposal 3 and Proposal 4 is contingent upon the approval of each Proposal within this Proxy Statement, as well as upon the approval of similar proposals on new subadvisory agreements and amended and restated investment advisory agreements for shareholders of Janus Adviser Mid Cap Value Fund, a series of JAD, and Mid Cap Value Portfolio, a series of JAS. Implementation of the Amended Advisory Agreements is also contingent upon the closing of the Pending Acquisition in addition to other conditions as described in the Purchase Agreement or otherwise agreed to by Janus Capital and PWM. If shareholders of a Fund do not approve the proposal applicable to their Fund or if any other contingency is not met, the Current Advisory Agreements will remain in effect and the Board of Trustees will take such further action as it deems to be in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES OF THE TRUST UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED ADVISORY AGREEMENT FOR YOUR FUND. PROPOSAL 3 -- JANUS MID CAP VALUE FUND Janus Mid Cap Value Fund Compensation. The investment advisory fee rate payable by Janus Mid Cap Value Fund to Janus Capital is the same under the Current Advisory Agreement and the Amended Advisory Agreement. In return for the services provided to Janus Mid Cap Value Fund under its Current and Amended Advisory Agreements, the Fund pays a performance-based investment advisory fee. This fee consists of two components: (1) a base fee calculated by applying the contractual fixed rate of 0.64% to the Fund's average daily net assets during the previous month ("Base Fee"), plus or minus (2) a performance-fee adjustment ("Performance Adjustment") calculated by applying a variable rate of up to 0.15% (positive or negative) to the Fund's average daily net assets during the applicable performance measurement period. The performance measurement period generally is the previous 36 months, although when the Fund's performance-based fee structure has been in effect for at least 12 months, but less than 36 months, the performance measurement period equals the time that has elapsed since the performance-based fee structure took effect. Janus Mid Cap Value Fund's performance fee structure was effective in February 2006, with the first Performance Adjustment implemented in February 2007. Therefore, the performance measurement period began February 2006 and will add a month to each period until February 2009, at which time the performance measurement period will continue on a rolling 36-month basis. The Performance Adjustment may result in an increase or decrease in the investment advisory fee paid by Janus Mid Cap Value Fund, depending on the 22 investment performance of the Fund relative to its benchmark index, the Russell Midcap(R) Value Index, over the performance measurement period. No Performance Adjustment is applied unless the difference between the Fund's investment performance and the cumulative investment record of the Russell Midcap(R) Value Index is 0.50% or greater (positive or negative) during the applicable performance measurement period. For purposes of computing the Base Fee and the Performance Adjustment, net assets will be averaged over different periods (average daily net assets during the previous month for the Base Fee, versus average daily net assets during the performance measurement period for the Performance Adjustment). Performance of the Fund is calculated net of expenses, whereas the Russell Midcap(R) Value Index does not have any fees or expenses. Reinvestment of dividends and distributions are included in calculating the performance of both the Fund and the Russell Midcap(R) Value Index. The Base Fee is calculated and accrued daily. The Performance Adjustment is calculated monthly in arrears and is accrued evenly each day throughout the month. The investment advisory fee is paid monthly in arrears. The investment performance of the Fund's Investor Shares is used for purposes of calculating the Fund's Performance Adjustment. After Janus Capital determines whether the Fund's performance was above or below its benchmark index by comparing the investment performance of the Fund's Investor Shares against the cumulative investment record of the Russell Midcap(R) Value Index, Janus Capital applies the same Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) across each other class of shares of the Fund. It is not possible to predict the effect of the Performance Adjustment on future overall compensation to Janus Capital since it will depend on the performance of the Fund relative to the record of the Fund's benchmark index and future changes to the size of the Fund. Although the performance fee structure described above for Janus Mid Cap Value Fund is the same under both the Current Advisory Agreement and the Amended Advisory Agreement, the party obligated to pay any subadviser differs. Under the Current Advisory Agreement, Janus Mid Cap Value Fund is obligated to pay 50% of the investment advisory fee to Janus Capital and 50% to any subadviser. Under the Amended Advisory Agreement, Janus Mid Cap Value Fund pays the entire investment advisory fee to Janus Capital and Janus Capital in turn pays 50% of that fee to any subadviser. During the most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, Janus Mid Cap Value Fund paid advisory fees to Janus Capital of $19,398,485 and subadvisory fees to PWM of $19,398,485. If the Amended Advisory Agreement had been in effect, Janus Mid Cap Value Fund would have paid Janus Capital $38,796,970, from which Janus Capital would have paid PWM $19,398,485, the same amount PWM received under the Current Advisory Agreement. THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES OF THE TRUST UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED ADVISORY AGREEMENT. 23 PROPOSAL 4 -- JANUS SMALL CAP VALUE FUND Janus Small Cap Value Fund Compensation. The base rate of the investment advisory fee payable by Janus Small Cap Value Fund is the same under the Current Advisory Agreement and the Amended Advisory Agreement. In return for the services provided under the Current Advisory Agreement between Janus Capital and Janus Small Cap Value Fund, the Fund pays Janus Capital an investment advisory fee that is calculated daily and paid monthly based on the average daily net assets of the Fund, calculated at the annual rate of 0.72%. However, under the Fund's Amended Advisory Agreement, the base fee would be subject to adjustment up or down based on the Fund's performance relative to its benchmark index, the Russell 2000(R) Value Index. The only difference between the Current and Amended Advisory Agreement regarding the base fee payable by Janus Small Cap Value Fund relates to the party obligated to pay the fees associated with the services provided by any subadviser. Under the Current Advisory Agreement, Janus Small Cap Value Fund is obligated to pay 50% of the investment advisory fee to Janus Capital and 50% to any subadviser. Under the Amended Advisory Agreement, Janus Small Cap Value Fund pays the entire investment advisory fee to Janus Capital and Janus Capital in turn pays 50% of that fee to any subadviser. During the most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, Janus Small Cap Value Fund paid advisory fees to Janus Capital of $6,429,645 and subadvisory fees to PWM of $6,429,645. If the Amended Advisory Agreement, including application of any performance fee adjustments, had been in effect, Janus Small Cap Value Fund would have paid Janus Capital $9,302,468, from which Janus Capital would have paid PWM $4,651,234, the same amount PWM received under the Current Advisory Agreement. The proposed investment advisory fee to be paid to Janus Capital by the Fund will consist of two components: (1) a base fee calculated by applying the current contractual fixed-rate advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.72% to the Fund's average daily net assets during the previous month ("Base Fee"), plus or minus (2) a performance-fee adjustment ("Performance Adjustment") calculated by applying a variable rate of up to 0.15% (positive or negative) to the Fund's average daily net assets during the applicable performance measurement period. The performance measurement period generally will be the previous 36 months, although no Performance Adjustment will be made until the Amended Advisory Agreement has been in effect for at least 12 months. When the Amended Advisory Agreement has been in effect for at least 12 months, but less than 36 months, the performance measurement period will be equal to the time that has elapsed since the Amended Advisory Agreement took effect. The Base Fee is calculated and accrued daily. The Performance Adjustment is calculated monthly in arrears and is accrued evenly each day throughout the month. The investment advisory fee is paid monthly in arrears. 24 The Performance Adjustment may result in an increase or decrease in the investment advisory fee paid by the Fund, depending on the investment performance of the Fund relative to its benchmark index, the Russell 2000(R) Value Index, over the performance measurement period. No Performance Adjustment will be applied unless the difference between the Fund's investment performance and the cumulative investment record of the Russell 2000(R) Value Index is 0.50% or greater (positive or negative) during the applicable performance measurement period. Because the Performance Adjustment is tied to the Fund's performance relative to its benchmark index (and not its absolute performance), the Performance Adjustment could increase Janus Capital's fee even if the Fund's shares lose value during the performance measurement period, and could decrease Janus Capital's fee even if the Fund's shares increase in value during the performance measurement period. For purposes of computing the Base Fee and the Performance Adjustment, net assets will be averaged over different periods (average daily net assets during the previous month for the Base Fee, versus average daily net assets during the performance measurement period for the Performance Adjustment). Performance of the Fund is calculated net of expenses, whereas the Fund's benchmark index does not have any fees or expenses. Reinvestment of dividends and distributions are included in calculating the performance of both the Fund and the Russell 2000(R) Value Index. The investment performance of the Fund's Investor Shares will be used for purposes of calculating the Fund's Performance Adjustment. After Janus Capital determines whether the Fund's performance was above or below the Russell 2000(R) Value Index by comparing the investment performance of the Fund's Investor Shares against the cumulative investment record of the Russell 2000(R) Value Index, Janus Capital will apply the same Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) across each other class of shares of the Fund. The Trustees may determine that a class of shares of the Fund other than Investor Shares is the most appropriate for use in calculating the Performance Adjustment. If a different class of shares is substituted in calculating the Performance Adjustment, the use of that successor class of shares may apply to the entire performance measurement period so long as the successor class was outstanding at the beginning of such period. If the successor class of shares was not outstanding for all or a portion of the performance measurement period, it may only be used in calculating that portion of the Performance Adjustment attributable to the period during which the successor class was outstanding, and any prior portion of the performance measurement period would be calculated using the class of shares previously designated. Any change to the class of shares used to calculate the Performance Adjustment is subject to applicable law. It is currently the position of the staff of the SEC (the "Staff") that any changes to a class of shares selected for purposes of calculating the Performance Adjustment will require shareholder approval. If there is a change in the Staff's position, the Trustees intend to notify shareholders of such change in position at such time as the Trustees may determine that a change in such selected class is appropriate. 25 As previously noted, the Fund's benchmark index is the Russell 2000(R) Value Index. This index measures the performance of those Russell 2000(R) companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Trustees may from time to time determine that another securities index is a more appropriate benchmark index for purposes of evaluating the performance of the Fund. In that event, the Trustees may approve the substitution of a successor index for the Fund's benchmark index. However, the calculation of the Performance Adjustment for any portion of the performance measurement period prior to the adoption of the successor index will still be based upon the Fund's performance compared to its former benchmark index. Any change to the Fund's benchmark index for purposes of calculating the Performance Adjustment is subject to applicable law. It is currently the position of the Staff that any changes to the Fund's benchmark index will require shareholder approval. If there is a change in the Staff's position, the Trustees intend to notify shareholders of such change in position at such time as the Trustees may determine that a change in the Fund's benchmark index is appropriate. It is not possible to predict the effect of the Performance Adjustment on future overall compensation to Janus Capital since it will depend on the performance of the Fund relative to the record of its benchmark index and future changes to the size of the Fund. If the average daily net assets of the Fund remain constant during a 36-month performance measurement period, current net assets will be the same as average net assets over the performance measurement period and the maximum Performance Adjustment will be equivalent to 0.15% of current net assets. When current net assets vary from average net assets over the 36-month performance measurement period, the Performance Adjustment, as a percentage of current assets, may vary significantly, including at a rate more or less than 0.15%, depending upon whether the net assets of the Fund had been increasing or decreasing (and the amount of such increase or decrease) during the performance measurement period. Note that if net assets for the Fund were increasing during the performance measurement period, the total performance fee paid, measured in dollars, would be more than if the Fund had not increased its net assets during the performance measurement period. Suppose, for example, that the Performance Adjustment was being computed after the assets of the Fund had been shrinking. Applying the proposed monthly Base Fee of 1/12th of 0.72% of average daily net assets during the previous month, assume that average daily net assets during the 36-month performance measurement period were $500 million, but that average daily net assets during the preceding month were just $200 million. 26 The Base Fee would be computed as follows: $200 million x 0.72% / 12 = $120,000 If the Fund outperformed or underperformed its benchmark index by an amount which triggered the maximum Performance Adjustment, the Performance Adjustment would be computed as follows: $500 million x 0.15% / 12 = $62,500, which is approximately 1/12th of 0.375% of $200 million. If the Fund had outperformed its benchmark index, the advisory fee rate for that month would be a Base Fee of $120,000, plus a Performance Adjustment of $62,500, for a total fee of $182,500, which is approximately 1/12th of 1.095% of $200 million. If the Fund had underperformed its benchmark index, the advisory fee rate for that month would be a Base Fee of $120,000, minus a Performance Adjustment of $62,500, for a total fee of $57,500, which is approximately 1/12th of 0.345% of $200 million. Therefore, the total advisory fee rate for that month, as a percentage of average net assets during the preceding month, would be approximately 1/12th of 1.095% in the case of outperformance, or approximately 1/12th of 0.345% in the case of underperformance. Under extreme circumstances involving underperformance by a rapidly shrinking Fund, the dollar amount of the Performance Adjustment could be more than the dollar amount of the Base Fee. In such circumstances, Janus Capital would reimburse the Fund. By contrast, the Performance Adjustment would be a smaller percentage of current assets if the net assets of the Fund were increasing during the performance measurement period. Suppose, for example, that the Performance Adjustment was being computed after the assets of the Fund had been growing. Assume its average daily net assets during the 36-month performance measurement period were $500 million, but that average daily net assets during the preceding month were $800 million. The Base Fee would be computed as follows: $800 million x 0.72% / 12 = $480,000 If the Fund outperformed or underperformed its benchmark index by an amount which triggered the maximum Performance Adjustment, the Performance Adjustment would be computed as follows: $500 million x 0.15% / 12 = $62,500, which is approximately 1/12th of 0.094% of $800 million. If the Fund had outperformed its benchmark index, the advisory fee rate for that month would be a Base Fee of $480,000, plus a Performance Adjustment of 27 $62,500, for a total fee of $542,500, which is approximately 1/12th of 0.814% of $800 million. If the Fund had underperformed its benchmark index, the advisory fee rate for that month would be a Base Fee of $480,000, minus a Performance Adjustment of $62,500, for a total fee of $417,500, which is approximately 1/12th of 0.626% of $800 million. Therefore, the total advisory fee rate for that month, as a percentage of average net assets during the preceding month, would be approximately 1/12th of 0.814% in the case of outperformance, or approximately 1/12th of 0.626% in the case of underperformance. If approved for Janus Small Cap Value Fund and any other contingencies are met, the Amended Advisory Agreement described in this Proposal is expected to become effective on the first day of the month following the approval. However, as noted above, for the first 12 months after the effective date, only the Fund's Base Fee rate will apply. COMPARISON OF CURRENT AND PRO FORMA ADVISORY FEES DURING THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR The following table shows: (1) the dollar amount of the actual advisory fees paid by the Fund, before and after all applicable waivers, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007; (2) the dollar amount of the pro forma advisory fees that would have been paid by the Fund, before and after all applicable waivers, if the proposed performance-based fee structure had been in effect during such fiscal year; and (3) the difference between (i) the amount of the pro forma advisory fees, net of waivers, that would have been paid under the performance-based fee structure and (ii) the amount of the actual advisory fees paid, net of waivers, expressed as a percentage of the actual advisory fees' amount. Such percentage difference is positive when the amount of the pro forma advisory fees would have been larger than the amount of the actual advisory fees paid by the Fund, and negative when the amount of the pro forma advisory fees would have been smaller than the amount of the actual advisory fees paid by the Fund. For purposes of pro forma calculations, it is assumed that the Performance Adjustment would have been in effect during the entire fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 and that it would have been calculated over the full preceding 36-month performance measurement period.

--------------- * As described in this Proxy Statement, any Performance Adjustment included in calculating the Pro Forma Advisory Fees for the Fund is based on the investment performance of the Fund's Investor Shares versus the Fund's benchmark index over the 36-month period ended October 31, 2007. 28 HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE The following hypothetical examples illustrate the application of the Performance Adjustment for the Fund. The examples assume that the average daily net assets of the Fund remain constant during a 36-month performance measurement period. The Performance Adjustment would be a smaller percentage of current assets if the net assets of the Fund were increasing during the performance measurement period, and a greater percentage of current assets if the net assets of the Fund were decreasing during the performance measurement period. All numbers in the examples are rounded to the nearest hundredth percent. The net assets of the Fund as of the fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and October 31, 2007 were $2,080,013,273 and $1,587,531,145, respectively. The monthly maximum positive or negative Performance Adjustment of 1/12th of 0.15% of average net assets during the prior 36 months occurs if the Fund outperforms or underperforms its benchmark index by 5.50% over the same period. The Performance Adjustment is made in even increments for every 0.50% difference in the investment performance of the Fund compared to the investment record of the Russell 2000(R) Value Index. EXAMPLE 1: FUND OUTPERFORMS ITS BENCHMARK BY 5.50% If the Fund has outperformed the Russell 2000(R) Value Index by 5.50% during the preceding 36 months, the Fund would calculate the investment advisory fee as follows:
PERFORMANCE TOTAL ADVISORY FEE BASE FEE RATE ADJUSTMENT RATE RATE FOR THAT MONTH ------------- --------------- ------------------- 1/12th of 0.72% 1/12th of 0.15% 1/12th of 0.87%
EXAMPLE 2: FUND PERFORMANCE TRACKS ITS BENCHMARK If Fund performance has tracked the performance of the Russell 2000(R) Value Index during the preceding 36 months, the Fund would calculate the investment advisory fee as follows:
PERFORMANCE TOTAL ADVISORY FEE BASE FEE RATE ADJUSTMENT RATE RATE FOR THAT MONTH ------------- --------------- ------------------- 1/12th of 0.72% 0.00% 1/12th of 0.72%
EXAMPLE 3: FUND UNDERPERFORMS ITS BENCHMARK BY 5.50% If the Fund has underperformed the Russell 2000(R) Value Index by 5.50% during the preceding 36 months, the Fund would calculate the investment advisory fee as follows:
PERFORMANCE TOTAL ADVISORY FEE BASE FEE RATE ADJUSTMENT RATE RATE FOR THAT MONTH ------------- --------------- ------------------- 1/12th of 0.72% 1/12th of -0.15% 1/12th of 0.57%
29 Under the terms of the Fund's Current Subadvisory Agreement, PWM is entitled to receive a subadvisory fee, paid by the Fund, that is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate equal to 50% of the investment advisory fee paid by the Fund to Janus Capital (calculated after any fee waivers and expense reimbursements). This means that, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Advisory Agreement, the subadvisory fee rate for fees paid by Janus Capital to PWM will adjust up or down in line with the advisory fee rate for fees paid by the Fund to Janus Capital, based on the performance of the Fund's Investor Shares relative to the Russell 2000(R) Value Index. If Proposal 4 is not approved, PWM will continue to receive a subadvisory fee from the Fund that is equal to 50% of the advisory fee otherwise paid by the Fund to Janus Capital under the Current Advisory Agreement (thereby reducing Janus Capital's advisory fee by 50%), which currently equates to 0.36% of the Fund's average daily net assets. It is important to note that if shareholders of Janus Small Cap Value Fund approve Proposal 4, any fees paid by the Fund under the Amended Advisory Agreement will be paid in their entirety to Janus Capital and Janus Capital will in turn compensate any subadviser. Under current agreements, the Fund pays 50% of its investment advisory fee to Janus Capital and 50% to PWM. COMPARISON OF CURRENT AND PRO FORMA EXPENSES The following tables describe the shareholder fees and annual fund operating expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund under the current fee structure and proposed performance-based fee structure, without giving effect to any fee waivers. For purposes of pro forma calculations, it is assumed that the Performance Adjustment would have been in effect during the entire fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, and that it would have been calculated over a full 36-month performance measurement period. The fees and expenses shown were determined based upon average net assets as of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007. For the 36-month period ended October 31, 2007, the Fund underperformed the Russell 2000(R) Value Index and the fiscal year-end average daily net assets were lower than the trailing 36-month average daily net assets, resulting in the pro forma management fee shown in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table below. Shareholder fees are those paid directly from your investment and may include sales loads, redemption fees or exchange fees. Annual fund operating expenses are paid out of the Fund's assets and include fees for portfolio management, maintenance of shareholder accounts, shareholder servicing, accounting and other services. You do not pay these fees directly but, as the examples show, these costs are borne indirectly by all shareholders. The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into an expense waiver agreement with Janus Services with respect to Institutional Shares of Janus Small Cap Value Fund. Pursuant to that waiver agreement, Janus Services has agreed to waive transfer agency fees applicable to and paid by Janus Small Cap Value Fund's 30 Institutional Shares by any amount by which total operating expenses exceed 0.79% of average daily net assets through March 1, 2009, as described in a footnote to the Annual Fund Operating Expense table below. As a result of the expense waiver agreement, the actual Total Annual Operating Expenses for Institutional Shares of the Fund may be less than the amount listed in the table below.

EXAMPLES: THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES ARE BASED ON EXPENSES WITHOUT WAIVERS, AS SHOWN IN THE TABLES ABOVE. These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund, under both the current fee structure and the proposed fee structure, with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated, reinvest all dividends and distributions, and then redeem all your shares at the end of each period. Since no sales load applies, the results apply whether or not you redeem your shares at the end of the periods shown. The examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses without waivers remain the same. The pro forma calculations assume that the Performance Adjustment had been in effect for a 36-month period as of the end of 31 the last fiscal year. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

--------------- (1) The Fund may charge a fee to cover the cost of sending a wire transfer for redemptions, and your bank may charge an additional fee to receive the wire. For more information, please refer to the respective prospectus. (2) For shares purchased through an intermediary, your financial intermediary may charge you a separate or additional fee for purchases and redemptions of shares. (3) All expenses are shown without the effect of expense offset arrangements. Pursuant to such arrangements, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce the custodian and transfer agent expenses. (4) The "Management Fee" is the investment advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to Janus Capital as of the end of the fiscal year. Any Performance Adjustment included in calculating the Pro Forma Management Fee is based on the investment performance of the Fund's Investor Shares versus the Russell 2000(R) Value Index over the 36-month period ended October 31, 2007. Once the Performance Adjustment is determined, it is applied across each other class of shares of the Fund. (5) Included in Other Expenses is an administrative services fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Fund to compensate Janus Capital for providing certain administrative services including, but not limited to, recordkeeping and registration functions. (6) "Acquired Fund" means any underlying fund (including, but not limited to, exchange-traded funds) in which the Fund invests or has invested during the period. Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown may not correlate to the Fund's ratio of gross expenses to average net assets appearing in the Fund's financial statements, which reflect the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include Acquired Fund fees and expenses. (7) All expenses are stated without contractual expense waivers by Janus Services LLC. Janus Services LLC has contractually agreed to waive the transfer agency fees applicable to the Fund's Institutional Shares as necessary to ensure that the total expense ratio does not exceed an annual rate of 0.79% of average daily net assets (excluding items not normally considered operating expenses such as legal claims and expenses, litigation costs, and any indemnification related thereto), until March 1, 2009. * The Pro Forma numbers shown for each class of shares of the Fund include a pro forma management fee calculated as described in the text and related footnotes that accompany the fee table above. ADDITIONAL BOARD CONSIDERATIONS Over the past few years, the Independent Trustees and their independent fee consultant, in consultation with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees, have continued to explore the possibility of modifying the fee structure for certain Janus funds to provide for a Base Fee for each of those funds at the same rate as its current advisory fee rate, and a performance-based adjustment that would increase or decrease the fee based on whether the fund's total return performance exceeds or lags a stated relevant benchmark index. 32 Working with Janus Capital to develop a performance structure that was acceptable to Janus Capital, the Independent Trustees were seeking to provide a closer alignment of the interests of Janus Capital with those of the Fund and its shareholders. They believe that the fee structure proposed for the Fund will achieve that objective. Included as part of their analysis of the overall performance fee structure, the Trustees, in consultation with their independent fee consultant, considered the appropriate performance range that would result in the maximum and minimum Performance Adjustment of up to 0.15% (positive or negative) of the Fund's average daily net assets during the applicable performance measurement period. The Trustees reviewed information provided by Janus Capital and prepared by their independent fee consultant with respect to an appropriate deviation of excess/under returns relative to the Fund's benchmark index, taking into consideration expected tracking error of the Fund, expected returns and potential risks and economics involved for Janus Capital, PWM and the Fund's shareholders. The Trustees also reviewed the structure of performance fees applied by other Janus funds. As described above, the Performance Adjustment that will be added to or subtracted from the Base Fee as a result of the Fund's performance, relative to its benchmark index, is a variable of up to 0.15% of average net assets during the performance measurement period. Importantly, the performance is computed after deducting the Fund's operating expenses (including advisory fees), which means that, in order to receive any upward adjustment from the Base Fee, Janus Capital and PWM must deliver a total return after expenses that exceeds the return of the benchmark index, which does not incur any expenses. The Trustees determined that the benchmark index specified in the Amended Advisory Agreement for purposes of computing the Performance Adjustment is appropriate for the Fund based on a number of factors, including that the index is broad-based and is composed of securities of the types in which the Fund may invest. The Trustees believe that divergence between the Fund's performance and performance of the index can be attributed, in part, to the ability of the portfolio managers in making investment decisions within the parameters of the Fund's investment objective and investment policies and restrictions. The Trustees determined that Investor Shares of the Fund is the most appropriate class for use in calculating the Fund's Performance Adjustment. In making that determination, the Trustees considered the fee structure and expenses paid by each class of shares of the Fund, any fees paid to or retained by Janus Capital or its affiliates, and the distribution channel for each class of shares. The time periods to be used in determining any Performance Adjustment were also judged to be of appropriate length to ensure proper correlation and to prevent fee adjustments from being based upon random or insignificant differences between the performance of the Fund and of the index. In that regard, the Trustees concluded that it would be appropriate for there to be no adjustment from the Base Fee for the first 12 months after the effective date of the Amended Advisory 33 Agreement and that, once implemented, the Performance Adjustment should reflect only the Fund's performance subsequent to that effective date. Moreover, the Trustees believed that, upon reaching the thirty-sixth month after the effective date, the performance measurement period should be fully implemented, and that the Performance Adjustment should thereafter be based upon a 36-month rolling performance measurement period. In addition to considering the performance fee structure reflected in the Amended Advisory Agreement, in approving that agreement the Trustees followed the process, considered the factors, and reached the conclusions described above under "Proposal 3 and Proposal 4 -- General Information -- Board Approval and Recommendation." THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES OF THE TRUST UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED ADVISORY AGREEMENT.

JANUS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC By: -------------------------------------- JANUS INVESTMENT FUND By: -------------------------------------- B-6 SCHEDULE A PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT PERKINS MID CAP VALUE FUND [Beginning with the Base Fee payable for February 2006 and in month 13 from the amended date of this Agreement, t][T]he Base Fee shall be adjusted monthly based upon the investment performance of the Fund's Investor Shares in relation to the cumulative investment record of the Fund's benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index (the "Index"), over the "Performance Period" (such adjustment being referred to herein as the "Performance Adjustment"). The "Performance Period" is defined as the shorter of (a) the period from [February 1, 2006][the date of this Agreement] through the end of the month for which the fee is being calculated, and (b) the 36 month period preceding the end of the month for which the fee is being calculated[ (beginning February 1, 2006).] The Performance Adjustment shall be calculated by subtracting the investment record of the Index from the investment performance of the Fund's Investor Shares. If there is less than a 0.50% difference (plus or minus) between the investment performance of the Fund's Investor Shares and the investment record of the Index, the Fund pays JCM the Base Fee with no adjustment. If the difference between the investment performance of the Fund's Investor Shares and the investment record of the Index is 0.50% or greater during any Performance Period, the Base FeeShareholder Recommendations will be subject to an upward or downward performance adjustment of 1/12 of 0.01875% for every full 0.50% increment by which the Fund's Investor Shares outperform or underperform the Index. The maximum percentage used in calculating the Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) in any monthkept on file until active recruitment is 1/12 of 0.15%. The Performance Adjustment is applied against the Fund's average daily net assets during the Performance Period. PERKINS SMALL CAP VALUE FUND [Beginning with the Base Fee payable for 2008 and in month 13 from the date of this Agreement, the Base Fee shall be adjusted monthly based upon the investment performance of the Fund's Investor Shares in relation to the cumulative investment record of the Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000(R) Value Index (the "Index"), over the "Performance Period" (such adjustment being referred to herein as the "Performance Adjustment"). The "Performance Period" is defined as the shorter of (a) the period from the date of this Agreement through the end of the month for which the fee is being calculated, and (b) the 36 month period preceding the end of the month for which the fee is being calculated.] [The Performance Adjustment shall be calculated by subtracting the investment record of the Index from the investment performance of the Fund's Investor Shares. If there is less than a 0.50% difference (plus or minus) between the investment performance of the Fund's Investor Shares and the investment record of the Index, the Fund pays JCM the Base Fee with no adjustment. If the difference between the B-7 investment performance of the Fund's Investor Shares and the investment record of the Index is 0.50% or greater during any Performance Period, the Base Fee will be subject to an upward or downward performance adjustment of 1/12 of 0.01364% for every full 0.50% increment by which the Fund's Investor Shares outperform or underperform the Index. The maximum percentage used in calculating the Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) in any month is 1/12 of 0.15%. The Performance Adjustment is applied against the Fund's average daily net assets during the Performance Period.] PERKINS MID CAP VALUE FUND AND PERKINS SMALL CAP VALUE FUND For purposes of computing the Base Fee and the Performance Adjustment, net assets are averaged over different periods (average daily net assets during the relevant month for the Base Fee versus average daily net assets during the Performance Period for the Performance Adjustment). The Base Fee is calculated and accrued daily. The Performance Adjustment is calculated monthly in arrears and is accrued evenly each day throughout the month. The investment advisory fee is paid monthly in arrears. The average daily net asset value of the Fund, or any class thereof, shall be determined in the manner set forth in the Trust's Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, Amended and Restated Bylaws and registration statement, each as may be amended from time to time. The investment performance of the Fund's Investor Shares will be the sum of: (1) the change in Investor Shares' net asset value ("NAV") per share during the Performance Period; plus (2) the value of the Investor Shares' cash distributions per share accumulated to the end of the Performance Period; plus (3) the value of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed realized long-term capital gains accumulated to the end of the Performance Period; expressed as a percentage of Investor Shares' NAV per share at the beginning of the Performance Period. For this purpose, the value of distributions per share of realized capital gains, of dividends per share paid from investment income and of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed realized long-term capital gains shall be treated as reinvested in Investor Shares at the NAV in effect at the close of business on the record date for the payment of such distributions and dividends and the date on which provision is made for such taxes, after giving effect to such distributions, dividends and taxes. The investment record of the Index will be the sum of: (1) the change in the level of the Index during the Performance Period; plus B-8 (2) the value, computed consistently with the Index, of cash distributions made by companies whose securities comprise the Index accumulated to the end of the Performance Period; expressed as a percentage of the Index level at the beginning of the Performance Period. For this purpose, cash distributions on the securities which comprise the Index shall be treated as reinvested in the Index at least as frequently as the end of each calendar quarter following the payment of the dividend. The Trustees have initially designated Investor Shares to be used for purposes of determining the Performance Adjustment. From time to time, the Trustees may, by vote of the Trustees of the Trust voting in person, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any such parties, determine that a class of shares of the Fund other than Investor Shares is the most appropriate for use in calculating the Performance Adjustment. If a different class of shares ("Successor Class") is substituted in calculating the Performance Adjustment, the use of that Successor Class of shares for purposes of calculating the Performance Adjustment may apply to the entire Performance Period so long as such Successor Class was outstanding at the beginning of such period. If the Successor Class of shares was not outstanding for all or a portion of the Performance Period, it may only be used in calculating that portion of the Performance Adjustment attributable to the period during which such Successor Class was outstanding and any prior portion of the Performance Period shall be calculated using the class of shares previously designated.

APPENDIX D

5% BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF OUTSTANDING SHARES

As of March 31, 2016, the officers and Trustee nominees as a group owned approximately 3.2% of Class D Shares of INTECH Emerging Markets Managed Volatility Fund, 8.8% of Class D Shares of INTECH International Managed Volatility Fund, 2.0% of Class T Shares of INTECH International Managed Volatility Fund, 1.6% of Class D Shares of INTECH U.S. Managed Volatility Fund, 1.2% of Class D Shares of Janus Adaptive Global Allocation Fund, 18.3% of Class D Shares of Janus Diversified Alternatives Fund, 1.9% of Class I Shares of Janus Global Allocation Fund – Conservative, 2.6% of Class I Shares of Janus Global Allocation Fund – Growth, 4.9% of Class I Shares of Janus Global Allocation Fund – Moderate, 1.4% of Class I Shares of Janus Global Technology Fund, 74.0% of Class I Shares of Janus Global Unconstrained Bond Fund, 13.6% of Class A Shares of Janus Growth and Income Fund, 1.2% of Class I Shares of Janus Growth and Income Fund, 8.1% of Class D Shares of Janus International Equity Fund, 19.7% of Class T Shares of Janus International Equity Fund, 4.3% of Class D Shares of Janus Multi-Sector Income Fund, 1.3% of Class T Shares of Janus Multi-Sector Income Fund, 4.4% of Class D Shares of Janus Real Return Fund, 12.6% of Class N Shares of Perkins Global Value Fund, 1.2% of Class T Shares of Perkins Global Value Fund, 16.5% of Class D Shares of Perkins International Value Fund, 23.3% of Class N Shares of Perkins International Value Fund, 47.8% of Class T Shares of Perkins International Value Fund, 14.6% of Class D Shares of Perkins Large Cap Value Fund, 10.5% of Class I Shares of Perkins Large Cap Value Fund, 4.6% of Class D Shares of Perkins Select Value Fund, 72.5% of Class I Shares of Perkins Select Value Fund, 6.1% of Class D Shares of Perkins Value Plus Income Fund, 5.5% of Class I Shares of Perkins Value Plus Income Fund, and less than 1% of the outstanding Shares of any other class of each of the other Funds in this proxy statement. In addition, an investment by Janus Capital’s funds of funds may comprise a significant percentage of a share class or Fund. As of March 31, 2016, the percentage ownership of any person or entity owning 5% or more of the outstanding Shares of any class of the Funds is listed below. Any person or entity that beneficially owns, directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25% of the voting securities of a company is presumed to “control” such company. Accordingly, to the extent that a person or entity is identified as the beneficial owner of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund, or is identified as the record owner of more than 25% of a Fund and has voting and/or investment powers, that person or entity may be presumed to control such Fund. A controlling shareholder’s vote could have a more significant effect on matters presented to shareholders for approval than the vote of other Fund shareholders.

To the best knowledge of the Trust, as of March 31, 2016, no other person or entity owned beneficially 5% or more (or beneficially owned more than 25%) of the outstanding Shares of any class of the Funds, except as shown. As of March 31, 2016, William H. Gross, portfolio manager of Janus Global Unconstrained Bond Fund, is

D-1


deemed to control the Fund by virtue of owning more than 25% of the outstanding Shares of that Fund. In addition, as of March 31, 2016, Robert Perkins, co-portfolio manager of Perkins Select Value Fund, is deemed to control the Fund by virtue of owning more than 25% of the outstanding Shares of that Fund. To the extent that Janus Capital, an affiliate, or an individual, such as a Fund’s portfolio manager(s), owns a significant portion of the Shares of any class of a Fund or a Fund as a whole, the redemption of those Shares may have an adverse effect on the Fund, a share class, and/or its shareholders. Janus Capital may consider the effect of redemptions on such Fund and the Fund’s other shareholders in deciding whether to redeem its Shares. In certain circumstances, Janus Capital’s or JCGI’s ownership may not represent beneficial ownership. To the best knowledge of the Trust, entities other than Janus Capital shown as owning more than 25% of the outstanding Shares of a class of a Fund are not the beneficial owners of such Shares, unless otherwise indicated.

--------------- * Officers are elected

Please detach at least annually by the Trustees for a one-year term and may also be elected from time to time by the Trustees for an interim period. ** Mr. Iseman resigned his positions with Janus Capital Group Inc. and its subsidiaries effective April 2008. E-4 EXHIBIT F LEGAL MATTERS In the fall of 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Office of the New York State Attorney General ("NYAG"), the Colorado Attorney General ("COAG"), and the Colorado Division of Securities ("CDS") announced that they were investigating alleged frequent trading practices in the mutual fund industry. On August 18, 2004, Janus Capital announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC, the NYAG, the COAG, and the CDS related to such regulators' investigations into Janus Capital's frequent trading arrangements. A number of civil lawsuits were brought against Janus Capital and certain of its affiliates, the Janus funds, and related entities and individuals based on allegations similar to those announced by the above regulators and were filed in several state and federal jurisdictions. Such lawsuits alleged a variety of theories for recovery including, but not limited to, the federal securities laws, other federal statutes (including ERISA), and various common law doctrines. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these actions to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (the "Court") for coordinated proceedings. On September 29, 2004, five consolidated amended complaints were filed with the Court that generally include: (i) claims by a putative class of investors in certain Janus funds asserting claimsperforation before mailing.

JANUS INVESTMENT FUNDPROXY
JOINT SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 14, 2016

This Proxy is solicited on behalf of the investor class (Marini, et al. v.Trustees of Janus Investment Fund, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland, Case No. 04-CV-00497); (ii) derivative claims by investors in certain Janus funds ostensibly on behalf of such funds (Steinberg et al. v. Janus Capital Management, LLC et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland, Case No. 04-CV-00518); (iii) claims on behalf of participants in the Janus 401(k) plan (Wangberger v. Janus Capital Group Inc., 401(k) Advisory Committee, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland, Case No. JFM-05-2711); (iv) claims brought on behalf of shareholders of Janus Capital Group Inc. ("JCGI") on a derivative basis against the Board of Directors of JCGI (Chasen v. Whiston, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland, Case No. 04-MD-00855); and (v) claims by a putative class of shareholders of JCGI asserting claims on behalf of the shareholders (Wiggins, et al. v. Janus Capital Group, Inc., et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland, Case No. 04-CV-00818). Each of the five complaints initially named JCGI and/or Janus Capital as a defendant. In addition, the following were also named as defendants in one or more of the actions: Janus Investment Fund ("JIF"), Janus Aspen Series ("JAS"), Janus Adviser Series ("JAD"), Janus Distributors LLC, Enhanced Investment Technologies, LLC ("INTECH"), Bay Isle Financial LLC ("Bay Isle"), Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell and Company, LLC ("Perkins"), the Advisory Committee of the Janus 401(k) plan, and the current or former directors of JCGI. On August 25, 2005, the Court entered orders dismissing most of the claims asserted against Janus Capital and its affiliates by fund investors in the Marini and Steinberg cases (actions (i) and (ii) above) except certain claims under Sec- F-1 tion 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). A currently pending Motion for Summary Judgment is seeking dismissal of the remaining claims. On August 15, 2006, the Wangberger complaint in the 401(k) plan class action (action (iii) above) was dismissed by the Court with prejudice. The plaintiff appealed that dismissal decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, which recently remanded the case back to the Court for further proceedings. The Court also dismissed the Chasen lawsuit (action (iv) above) against JCGI's Board of Directors without leave to amend. Finally, a Motion to Dismiss the Wiggins suit (action (v) above) was granted and the matter was dismissed in May 2007. However, in June 2007, Plaintiffs appealed that dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. That appeal is currently pending. In addition to the lawsuits described above, the Auditor of the State of West Virginia ("Auditor"), in his capacity as securities commissioner, has initiated administrative proceedings against many of the defendants in the market timing cases (including JCGI and Janus Capital) and, as a part of its relief, is seeking disgorgement and other monetary relief based on similar market timing allegations (In the Matter of Janus Capital Group Inc. et al., Before the Securities Commissioner, State of West Virginia, Summary Order No. 05-1320). The respondents in these proceedings collectively sought a Writ of Prohibition in state court, which was denied. Their subsequent Petition for Appeal was also denied. Consequently, in September 2006, JCGI and Janus Capital filed their answer to the Auditor's summary order instituting proceedings and requested a hearing. A status conference was held on June 28, 2007, during which the parties were ordered to submit their proposed scheduling order. To date, no scheduling order has been entered in the case. In addition to the pending Motion to Discharge Order to Show Cause, JCGI and Janus Capital, as well as other similarly situated defendants, continue to challenge the statutory authority of the Auditor to bring such an action. During 2007, two lawsuits were filed against Janus Management Holdings Corporation ("Janus Holdings"), an affiliate of JCGI, by former Janus portfolio managers, alleging that Janus Holdings unilaterally implemented certain changes to compensation in violation of prior agreements (Edward Keely v. Janus Holdings, Denver District Court, Case No. 2007CV7366; Tom Malley v. Janus Holdings, Denver District Court, Case No. 2007CV10719). These complaints allege some or all of the following claims: (1) breach of contract; (2) willful and wanton breach of contract; (3) breach of good faith and fair dealing; and (4) estoppel. Janus Holdings filed Answers to these complaints denying any liability for these claims and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations. Additional lawsuits may be filed against certain of the Janus funds, Janus Capital, and related parties in the future. Janus Capital does not currently believe that these pending actions will materially affect its ability to continue providing services it has agreed to provide to the Janus funds.
