NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of Janus Capital Group Inc. (collectively, “JCG” or the “Company”) management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Such unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Events subsequent to the balance sheet date have been evaluated for inclusion in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements through the issuance date. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements that are presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Note 2 — Recent Accounting Guidance

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, which amends guidance for identifying the primary beneficiary in variable interest entities, requires ongoing assessments for purposes of identifying the primary beneficiary and eliminates the scope exception for qualifying special-purpose entities. In January 2010, the FASB deferred the provisions of this guidance primarily for entities with attributes of an investment company until the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board develop converged guidance on consolidation. This accounting guidance may otherwise have resulted in the consolidation of certain mutual funds, other pooled investment vehicles, separate accounts and subadvised relationships (collectively referred to as “investment products”). An Exposure Draft is expected to be published during the fourth quarter 2011.

In May 2011, the FASB issued an update regarding fair value measurements and disclosures. The amendments in the update result in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The update is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an update regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. This standard eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Under the updated guidance, an entity can elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. Each component of net income and each component of other comprehensive income, together with totals for comprehensive income and its two parts (net income and other comprehensive income), would be displayed under either alternative. The statement(s) must be presented with equal prominence as the other primary financial statements. This standard is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance related to the annual testing for goodwill impairment. The revised standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing reporting entities with the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this updated guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Investment securities are classified as follows:

Trading Securities

JCG periodically adds new investment strategies to its investment product offerings by providing the initial cash investment, or “seeding,” of these investment products. Seeded investment products are initially consolidated and the individual securities within the portfolio are accounted for as trading securities. JCG will consolidate such investment products as long as it holds a controlling interest in the investment product, defined as greater than 50% ownership. Upon deconsolidation, JCG continues to account for its investments in seeded products as trading securities if its ownership is between 20% and 49%. If its ownership is less than 20%, JCG accounts for its investments in seeded products as available-for-sale securities. JCG may redeem invested seed capital for a variety of reasons, including when third-party investments in the relevant product are sufficient to sustain the given investment strategy.

JCG also periodically invests in funds advised by the Company for purposes of economically hedging its mutual fund share awards to employees. These investments are accounted for as trading securities.

At September 30, 2011, investments classified as trading securities totaled $263.9 million, representing $192.1 million of seeded investment products and $71.8 million of investments related to economic hedging of mutual fund share awards. Seeded investment products represent $46.3 million of securities held in separately managed accounts and $145.8 million of securities held in the portfolios of funds advised by the Company. Trading securities are carried on JCG’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with changes in value recognized in investment (losses) gains, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

JCG implemented an economic hedge strategy in December 2008 covering the majority of trading securities related to initial cash investments in seeded products. The hedge strategy is designed to mitigate a portion of the net income volatility created by the mark-to-market accounting of these investment securities. The strategy primarily utilizes futures

6

contracts on various market indices to minimize volatility in earnings. These instruments are settled daily, with settlement amounts recognized in investment (losses) gains, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

JCG recognized the following net (losses) gains on the above noted hedged trading securities and associated derivative instruments (in millions):

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Net (losses) gains in earnings:
Hedged trading securities	$	(15.5	)	$	5.3		$	(12.9	)	$	3.4
Futures contracts	13.1			(5.1		)	8.5			(0.9		)
Total	$	(2.4	)	$	0.2		$	(4.4	)	$	2.5

Additionally, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, JCG recognized $12.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively, of investment losses related to the mark-to-market adjustments for the economic hedge of the mutual fund share awards. The corresponding mark-to-market adjustments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, were not recognized until the fourth quarter 2010 in conjunction with a correction in accounting treatment.

Available-for-Sale Securities

Investments in Advised Funds

At September 30, 2011, investments in advised funds totaled $11.4 million. Investments in advised funds are carried on JCG’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with changes in value recognized as gains and losses in other comprehensive (loss) income. Accumulated gains and losses are reclassified to earnings when the securities are sold on a specific identification basis. JCG periodically reviews the carrying value of investments in advised funds for impairment by evaluating the nature, duration and extent of any decline in fair value. If the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the carrying value of the security is written down to fair value through earnings. No impairment charges were recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Held-to-Maturity Securities

There were no held-to-maturity securities at September 30, 2011. At December 31, 2010, held-to-maturity securities totaled $93.1 million, primarily representing U.S. Treasury notes purchased in the second quarter 2010, which matured in August 2011. Held-to-maturity investments are carried on JCG’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at amortized cost, with corresponding interest income reflected as other income, net on JCG’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements

Measurements of fair value are classified within a hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability. Classification within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation hierarchy contains three levels:

·Level 1 — Valuation inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

·Level 2 — Valuation inputs are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other observable inputs directly or indirectly related to the asset or liability being measured.

·Level 3 — Valuation inputs are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

JCG’s Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements consist of exchange-traded equity and debt securities underlying separate accounts and consolidated mutual funds and shares of unconsolidated mutual funds. The underlying securities of mutual funds and separate accounts can be denominated in a foreign currency. The closing price of such securities may be adjusted to capture the effects of any post-closing activity impacting the markets in which they trade. These adjustments result in the securities being classified as Level 2 and can also result in significant movements of securities between Level 1 and Level 2. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, there were $0.4 million of net transfers out of Level 2 to Level 1 and $6.6 million of net transfers out of Level 1 to Level 2.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, there were $5.4 million of net transfers out of Level 2 to Level 1 and $6.7 million of net transfers out of Level 1 to Level 2.

JCG’s Level 3 recurring fair value measurements primarily represent redeemable noncontrolling interests. Redeemable noncontrolling interests in INTECH Investment Management LLC (“INTECH”) are measured at fair value using a

8

discounted cash flow methodology. Significant inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include forecasted operating results, discount rate and terminal multiple of future cash flows. Redeemable noncontrolling interests in Perkins Investment Management LLC (“Perkins”) are measured by a contractual formula intended to represent fair value. See Note 8 for further discussion of redeemable noncontrolling interests. Other long-term investments are measured using internal models and other available data.

The changes in carrying value of JCG’s recurring Level 3 fair value measurements are as follows (in millions):

	Other			Redeemable
	Long-Term			Noncontrolling
	Investments			Interests
Fair value at January 1, 2010	$	43.2		$	101.1
Distributions	(10.6		)	(9.3		)

Impairment of investments	(2.3		)	—
Change in fair value	—			20.0
Fair value at September 30, 2011	$	3.2		$	102.3

Nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements include goodwill and intangible assets. JCG measures the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets using a discounted cash flow model. Significant inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include JCG’s forecasted operating results, discount rate and terminal multiple of cash flows. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements of these assets and liabilities, such measurements have been classified as Level 3.

JCG’s held-to-maturity investment securities not held at fair value at December 31, 2010, primarily represented U.S. Treasury notes, which are carried at amortized cost. There were no held-to-maturity investment securities held at September 30, 2011.

Note 5 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets

JCG’s goodwill and intangible assets are summarized below (in millions):

Due to declines in JCG’s stock price and overall market conditions during the third quarter 2011, the Company undertook a review for potential impairment of goodwill and unamortized intangible assets and concluded that no impairment exists at September 30, 2011. In the event that global market conditions and JCG’s results of operations continue to deteriorate, further analysis will be undertaken, which may result in a material impairment charge.

Fair Value of Debt

The fair value of debt was determined using broker quotes and recent trading activity for each of the notes listed above.

5.875% Senior Notes

During the third quarter 2011, JCG retired its 5.875% Senior Notes at maturity. The 5.875% Senior Notes had a principal balance of $92.2 million, and this balance was settled in full by a cash payment on September 15, 2011.

6.250% Senior Notes

During the fourth quarter 2010, JCG exercised its call right on the $120.9 million carrying value of the 6.250% Senior Notes and retired the notes on January 14, 2011. Under the terms of the call, JCG was required to pay the present value of the principal and interest that would have been paid if the debt remained outstanding through scheduled maturity. As a result, JCG recognized a $9.9 million net loss on early extinguishment of debt in the first quarter 2011.

3.250% Convertible Senior Notes

In July 2009, JCG issued $170.0 million of 3.250% convertible senior notes (“convertible senior notes”), which pay interest semiannually on July 15 and January 15 of each year and mature on July 15, 2014, unless earlier converted. The convertible senior notes are convertible under certain circumstances into cash, shares of JCG common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of JCG common stock, at JCG’s election. The holders of the convertible senior notes have the right to require JCG to repurchase their notes for cash under certain circumstances. The original conversion rate of 71.3 shares of JCG common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible senior notes was adjusted during the third quarter 2011 as a result of the quarterly cash dividend paid on August 12, 2011, and will continue to be adjusted with future dividend payments above $0.04 per share on an annual basis. The adjusted conversion rate is 71.8 shares of JCG common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible senior notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $13.93 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The convertible senior notes are not callable by JCG.

Holders may convert their notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding April 15, 2014, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2009, if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding calendar quarter is greater

10

than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day; or (2) upon the occurrence of other specified events. On or after April 15, 2014, until maturity, holders may convert their notes regardless of the preceding circumstances. As of September 30, 2011, the conversion criteria of the convertible senior notes have not been satisfied.

Because the convertible senior notes may be wholly or partially settled in cash, the proceeds were required to be bifurcated into debt and equity components. The $125.7 million initial debt component was determined by discounting future contractual cash flows at a 10.0% rate, which is consistent with the estimated market rate at the time of issuance for similar senior notes with no conversion option. The debt component will accrete up to the face value over the five-year expected term through interest expense. The unamortized discount at September 30, 2011, is $27.3 million and is being amortized over the remaining period of 33 months. The $44.3 million (or $27.9 million, net of deferred taxes) initial equity component was determined using the difference between the proceeds and the debt component. The fair value of the convertible notes in the above table is based on the outstanding principal balance, while the carrying value represents the outstanding principal balance exclusive of the unamortized discounts. Interest expense related to the convertible senior notes includes interest on the outstanding principal balance as well as amortization of capitalized issuance costs and totaled $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Interest Rate Adjustment Covenant

All of JCG’s senior notes, excluding the convertible senior notes, are subject to an interest rate adjustment covenant that provides that the interest rate payable will increase by 25 basis points for each level that the Company’s debt rating is decreased by Moody’s Investors Service Inc. (“Moody’s”) from Baa3 or by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) Rating Service from BBB-, up to a maximum increase of 200 basis points. If the interest rate has been adjusted upward as a result of either Moody’s or S&P decreasing its rating, then for each level of a subsequent rating increase, the interest payable will be decreased by 25 basis points, but in no event to a rate less than the interest rate payable on the date of issuance of the respective notes. The interest rate adjustment covenant will permanently terminate if the Company’s debt ratings increase to Baa2 (or higher) by Moody’s and BBB (or higher) by S&P, with a stable or positive outlook regardless of any subsequent decrease in the ratings by either or both rating agencies. S&P increased JCG’s credit rating to BBB- on January 10, 2011, resulting in a 25 basis point decrease in the interest rate payable on all of JCG’s senior notes, excluding the convertible senior notes.

Credit Facility

At September 30, 2011, JCG had a $100 million, unsecured, revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and swingline lender. Under the Credit Facility, the financing leverage ratio could not exceed 4.00x and the interest coverage ratio must have equaled or exceeded 3.50x. In addition, long-term assets under management must have exceeded $100.0 billion. At September 30, 2011, JCG was in compliance with all covenants and there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility.

On October 14, 2011, JCG entered into a three-year, $250 million, unsecured, revolving credit facility (the “new Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and swingline lender. The new Credit Facility replaces the above Credit Facility, which matured on October 3, 2011. Under the new Credit Facility, the financing leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.00x and the interest coverage ratio must equal or exceed 4.00x.

Capital Lease Obligations

JCG’s capital lease obligations represent leased computer equipment. The carrying value of the obligations at September 30, 2011, totaled $1.6 million and is included in other accrued liabilities and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The related lease terms extend through 2016.

11

Note 7 — Income Tax Contingencies

As of September 30, 2011, JCG had $10.2 million of accrued reserves for income tax contingencies, including interest. During the third quarter 2011, JCG decreased its income tax contingency reserves by $4.0 million as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations, creating a net tax benefit of $2.5 million. JCG anticipates that its income tax contingency reserves will decrease by approximately $4.8 million in the next 12 months, primarily from the expiration of statutes of limitations and the resolution of audits. Accrued reserves for income tax contingencies are presented in other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 8 — Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests that are not subject to put rights are classified in permanent equity. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are classified in mezzanine equity and are measured at estimated fair value as of the balance sheet date. Earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests that are and are not subject to put rights are combined in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisitions of entities in which JCG holds an existing controlling interest are treated as a reduction of noncontrolling interests in an amount equal to the purchase price.

Noncontrolling Interests That Are Not Subject to Put Rights

Noncontrolling interests that are not subject to put rights consist of undistributed earnings related to third-party investors in consolidated investment products and certain INTECH and Perkins ownership interests granted to employees. Undistributed earnings attributable to such INTECH and Perkins ownership interests totaled $4.9 million at September 30, 2011. Certain of the INTECH and Perkins ownership interests granted to employees become subject to put rights upon vesting at which time such interests are reclassified to redeemable noncontrolling interests.

In May 2011 and June 2010, INTECH purchased ownership interests held by INTECH employees for $0.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively. These ownership interests represent less than 1% of total INTECH ownership interests and were not subject to put rights.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable noncontrolling interests consist of INTECH and Perkins ownership interests that are currently puttable to JCG or will become puttable at certain future dates, and undistributed earnings of $5.9 million attributable to such interests as of September 30, 2011. Changes in fair value of redeemable noncontrolling interests are recognized as increases or decreases to redeemable noncontrolling interests with an offsetting charge to retained earnings.

12

INTECH

On February 19, 2010, pursuant to contractual obligations, JCG acquired an additional 3% interest in INTECH from the two founding members for $31.4 million. This transaction reduced the two founders’ aggregate ownership interest to approximately 2% of INTECH. Each founder is entitled to retain his remaining INTECH shares outstanding until his death unless he is terminated for cause or leaves voluntarily while not in good standing. An INTECH founder will be considered to be in good standing if he voluntarily leaves after providing 12 months’ prior notice and cooperates with the transition. Each of the two INTECH founding members has the option annually to require JCG to purchase from him his remaining ownership interest of INTECH at fair value. The following table discloses the effect on equity as a result of JCG’s acquisition of the additional 3% interest in INTECH (in millions):

	Nine months ended		Nine months ended
	September 30, 2011		September 30, 2010
Net income attributable to controlling interest	$	47.8	$	53.2
Decrease in JCG retained earnings from acquisition of noncontrolling interest	—		(29.1		)
Change from net income (controlling interest) and acquisitions of noncontrolling interest	$	47.8	$	24.1

Total INTECH ownership interests held by the two founders have an estimated value of approximately $16.5 million as of September 30, 2011. Ownership interests held by other INTECH employees subject to put rights have an estimated value of approximately $3.2 million as of September 30, 2011.

Perkins

JCG has the option to acquire the majority of the 22.2% noncontrolling interest of Perkins at fair value (as described below) on the third, fifth, seventh and each subsequent annual anniversary of December 31, 2008 (“closing”), the date JCG acquired a majority ownership in Perkins. The noncontrolling owners of Perkins have the option to require JCG to purchase any or all of their remaining ownership interests on the fourth and sixth anniversary of closing at fair value. The total Perkins noncontrolling interest subject to put rights has an estimated value of approximately $80.8 million as of September 30, 2011, based on a contractual formula driven by revenue and investment performance of products managed by Perkins. The formula is intended to represent fair value.

Note 9 — Long-Term Incentive Compensation

JCG granted $62.5 million in long-term incentive awards during the first nine months of 2011, which generally vest and will be expensed ratably over a four-year period. The 2011 awards consisted of $26.8 million of restricted stock (2.1 million shares at a weighted average grant-date fair value of $12.61 per share) and $35.7 million of mutual fund share awards.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, JCG recognized $(1.1) million and $1.6 million of long-term incentive compensation (benefit) expense related to mark-to-market adjustments of mutual fund share awards. The corresponding mark-to-market adjustments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, were not recognized until the fourth quarter 2010 in conjunction with a correction in accounting treatment.

Note 10 — Other Income, Net

The components of other income, net are as follows (in millions):

	Three months ended					Nine months ended
	September 30,					September 30,
	2011		2010			2011		2010

Other, net	0.1		0.4			0.2		1.0
Total	$	1.4	$	0.5		$	1.8	$	1.4

Note 11 — Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to JCG common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share adjusts the weighted average shares outstanding by the dilutive impact of shares underlying stock options and unvested restricted stock awards. The following is a summary of the earnings per share calculation (in millions, except per share data):

	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Net income attributable to JCG common shareholders:	$	27.4	$	32.5	$	107.2	$	94.0
Basic earnings per share attributable to JCG common shareholders:
Weighted average common shares outstanding	182.6		180.0		182.3		179.7
Basic earnings per share	$	0.15	$	0.18	$	0.59	$	0.52
Diluted earnings per share attributable to JCG common shareholders:
Weighted average common shares outstanding	182.6		180.0		182.3		179.7
Dilutive effect of stock options and unvested restricted stock using the treasury stock method	1.4		2.4		1.9		2.5
Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding	184.0		182.4		184.2		182.2
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.15	$	0.18	$	0.58	$	0.52
Dividends per share	$	0.05	$	—	$	0.10	$	0.04

The following stock options and unvested restricted stock are anti-dilutive and have not been included in the weighted average diluted shares outstanding calculation (in millions):

	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 30,		September 30,
	2011	2010	2011	2010
Stock options	10.8	11.4	10.8	11.4
Unvested restricted stock	2.1	—	1.8	0.5

14

All shares held in the JCG Employee Stock Ownership Plan are treated as outstanding for purposes of computing basic earnings per share. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not include the impact of the convertible senior notes because the effect would be anti-dilutive as the conversion criteria have not been satisfied.

Note 12 — Litigation and Other Regulatory Matters

JCG is periodically involved in various legal proceedings and other regulatory matters. Although there can be no assurances based on information currently available, management believes that it is probable that the ultimate outcome of each of the actions described below and other matters that are pending or threatened will not have a material adverse effect on JCG’s consolidated financial condition. JCG has a litigation accrual of $1.5 million at September 30, 2011, for all pending litigation matters.

Market Timing Litigation

Following the market timing investigations by the New York Attorney General and the SEC in 2003, JCG and certain affiliates were named as defendants in a consolidated lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Baltimore, Maryland (Case No. MDL No. 1586, 04-MD-15863). Five amended complaints were originally filed in these coordinated proceedings and only one complaint remains: 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). On January 20, 2010, the U.S. District Court entered orders dismissing the remaining claims asserted against JCG and its affiliates by fund investors in the Steinberg matter; however, plaintiffs appealed the decision in February 2010. JCG expects a decision from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in the first half of 2012. As a result of these events, JCG and its affiliates are the remaining defendants, in some capacity, in the action described above.

After a trial court dismissal and subsequent appeal, the previously reported litigation matter of First Derivative Traders et al. v. Janus Capital Group Inc., et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland, MDL 1586, a putative class of shareholders of JCG asserting claims against JCG and Janus Capital Management LLC, was resolved in JCG’s favor by the U.S. Supreme Court in June 2011.

Other Regulatory Matters

As previously disclosed on JCG’s Form 8-K dated November 23, 2010, JCG received a governmental inquiry regarding an insider trading investigation. JCG is cooperating fully with that inquiry. JCG has not been accused of any wrongdoing, and the government confirmed that JCG is not a target of its investigation into potential insider trading.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

JCG provides investment management, administration, distribution and related services to individual and institutional investors through mutual funds, other pooled investment vehicles, separate accounts and subadvised relationships (collectively referred to as “investment products”) in both domestic and international markets. Over the last several years, JCG has expanded its business to become a more diversified manager with increased product offerings and distribution capabilities. JCG offers three distinct types of investment advisory services, including fundamental equity (includes growth and core equity, global and international equity and value investment disciplines), fixed income and mathematical equity, through its primary subsidiaries, Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus”), INTECH Investment Management LLC (“INTECH”) and Perkins Investment Management LLC (“Perkins”). Each of JCG’s three primary subsidiaries specializes in specific investment styles and disciplines. JCG’s investment products are distributed through three channels: retail intermediary, institutional and international. Each distribution channel focuses on specific investor groups and the unique requirements of each group.

Revenues are generally based upon a percentage of the market value of assets under management and are calculated as a percentage of the daily average asset balance in accordance with contractual agreements with the Company’s investment products or clients. Certain investment products are also subject to performance fees, which vary based on a product’s relative performance as compared to a benchmark index over a specified period of time and the level of assets subject to such fees. Assets under management primarily consist of domestic and international equity and debt securities. Accordingly, fluctuations in domestic and international financial markets, relative investment performance, sales and redemptions of investment products, and changes in the composition of assets under management are all factors that have a direct effect on JCG’s operating results.

Third Quarter 2011 Summary

Average assets under management for the third quarter 2011 of $155.9 billion decreased $15.7 billion, or 9.1%, from the second quarter 2011, primarily as a result of unfavorable market conditions and long-term net outflows. Third quarter 2011 revenues of $236.9 million decreased $27.1 million, or 10.3%, from the second quarter 2011 and included $4.2 million of negative performance fees incurred on certain mutual funds during the third quarter 2011. The Company achieved an operating margin of 31.3% and net income of $0.15 per diluted share in the third quarter 2011.

Investment Performance

Investment products are generally evaluated based on their investment performance relative to other investment products with similar disciplines and strategies or benchmark indices.

·16%, 67% and 81% of complex-wide mutual fund assets ranked in the top half of their Lipper categories on a one-, three- and five-year total return basis, respectively, as of September 30, 2011.

·10%, 63% and 79% of the Company’s fundamental equity mutual fund assets ranked in the top half of their Lipper categories on a one-, three- and five-year total return basis, respectively, as of September 30, 2011.

·57%, 100% and 100% of the Company’s fixed income mutual fund assets ranked in the top half of their Lipper categories on a one-, three- and five-year total return basis, respectively, as of September 30, 2011.

·76%, 40% and 64% of the Company’s mathematical equity strategies surpassed their respective benchmarks, net of fees, over the one-, three- and five-year periods, respectively, as of September 30, 2011.

Assets Under Management and Flows

Valuation

The value of assets under management is derived from the cash and investment securities held by JCG’s investment products. Investment security values are determined using unadjusted or adjusted quoted market prices and independent third-party price quotes in active markets. For debt securities with maturities of 60 days or less, the amortized cost method is used to determine the value. Securities for which market prices are not readily available or are considered unreliable are internally valued using appropriate methodologies for each security type or by engaging third-party specialists. The value of the majority of the securities underlying JCG’s investment products is derived from readily available and reliable market price quotations.

The pricing policies for mutual funds advised by JCG’s subsidiaries (the “Funds”) are established by the Funds’ Independent Board of Trustees and are designed to test and validate fair value measurements. Responsibility for pricing securities held within separate and subadvised accounts may be delegated by separate or subadvised clients to JCG or another party.

Assets Under Management and Flows

Total Company assets under management of $141.0 billion at September 30, 2011, decreased $19.8 billion, or 12.3%, from September 30, 2010. The decrease was driven by total Company long-term net outflows of $13.0 billion and net market depreciation of $6.8 billion.

Fundamental equity long-term net outflows were $3.8 billion in the third quarter 2011 compared with $1.8 billion in the third quarter 2010. The increase in net outflows quarter-over-quarter was primarily driven by underperformance in fundamental equity and lower demand for active equity strategies.

JCG continues to make progress toward building out its fixed income franchise, with positive long-term net inflows of $2.1 billion in the third quarter 2011 compared to $1.0 billion in the third quarter 2010.

Mathematical equity strategies continue to deliver positive relative investment performance, which has led to a decline in redemptions. Mathematical equity long-term net outflows were $0.7 billion in the third quarter 2011 and $2.1 billion in the third quarter 2010.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2010

Revenues

Performance fee revenue is derived from certain mutual funds and separate accounts. The decrease in total performance fee revenue from $5.1 million in the third quarter 2010 to negative $3.1 million in the third quarter 2011 was primarily due to negative performance fees incurred on certain mutual funds during the third quarter 2011. These negative mutual fund performance fees totaled $4.2 million and were driven by underperformance compared to the mutual funds’ respective benchmarks. Mutual fund performance fees represent up to a positive or negative 15 basis point adjustment to the base management fee.

At September 30, 2011, $32.9 billion of mutual fund assets were subject to performance fees. As approved by mutual fund shareholders, additional mutual fund assets representing $20.4 billion at September 30, 2011, will become subject to performance fees over the next three months. Had these additional mutual fund assets been subject to performance fees for the third quarter 2011, an incremental $11.8 million in negative performance fees would have been recognized in the current quarter.

Expenses

Employee compensation and benefits decreased $5.1 million, or 6.7%, principally due to lower investment team incentive compensation as a result of lower profits and a change in the compensation plan. Effective July 1, 2011, JCG adopted a new investment team compensation plan designed to link variable compensation to profits. The previous investment team incentive compensation plan was linked to individual long-term investment performance and also tied the aggregate level of compensation to revenue.

Long-term incentive compensation decreased $4.3 million, or 20.8%, primarily as a result of the vesting of awards granted in previous years and a decline of $1.7 million in expense related to Perkins senior profit interest awards based on a decline in performance, partially offset by new awards granted in 2011. The Perkins senior profit interest awards have a formula-driven terminal value based on revenue growth and relative investment performance of investment products managed by Perkins.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.7 million, or 17.3%, primarily as a result of lower amortization of deferred commissions from a decrease in sales of certain mutual fund shares.

General, administrative and occupancy expenses declined $16.1 million, or 38.9%, primarily due to $13.6 million of client reimbursements related to two significant fund administrative errors in the third quarter 2010.

Interest expense declined $2.9 million, or 18.2%, primarily as a result of a 25 basis point decrease in the interest rates payable on all of JCG’s senior notes, excluding the convertible senior notes, as a result of Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) Rating Service increasing JCG’s credit rating to BBB- on January 10, 2011.

Net investment losses totaling $23.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 include a $12.8 million loss from mark-to-market adjustments on the mutual fund share award economic hedge and $21.6 million of mark-to-market losses on trading securities. The mark-to-market losses on trading securities were partially offset by $13.1 million of gains generated by an economic hedging strategy implemented in late 2008, covering the majority of seed capital. The hedging strategy utilizes futures contracts to mitigate a portion of the earnings volatility created by the mark-to-market accounting of seed capital investments. JCG may modify or discontinue the hedging strategy at any time.

JCG’s income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 includes the reversal of $4.0 million and $14.1 million of income tax contingency reserves, respectively, as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations, creating a net tax benefit of $2.5 million and $9.0 million, respectively.

Noncontrolling interests in net income decreased from $2.9 million to negative $0.1 million primarily due to $2.8 million of losses associated with the noncontrolling interest in consolidated investment products, partially offset by higher Perkins earnings.

21

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Revenues

Investment management fees increased $37.5 million, or 6.1%, primarily as a result of the 5.2% increase in average assets under management driven by favorable market conditions in the fourth quarter 2010 and first half of 2011. Revenue increased at a higher rate than average assets due to a product mix shift towards higher yielding products.

The decrease in performance fee revenue from $14.1 million to negative $2.5 million was primarily due to negative performance fees earned on certain mutual funds driven by a decline in performance combined with the impact of the additional mutual funds which became subject to performance fees in 2011.

Expenses

Long-term incentive compensation decreased $7.5 million, or 12.5%, primarily as a result of the vesting of awards granted in previous years and a decline of $4.6 million in expense related to Perkins senior profit interest awards, partially offset by new awards granted in 2011 and a $1.6 million mark-to-market adjustment for changes in fair value of mutual fund share awards. Long-term incentive awards granted during 2011 totaled $62.5 million and will generally be recognized ratably over a four-year period.

Marketing and advertising declined $7.5 million, or 26.8%, primarily due to $9.1 million of fund proxy costs included in the prior year period for the election of the mutual fund trustees for JCG’s domestic mutual funds.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $4.1 million, or 13.9%, primarily as a result of lower amortization of deferred commissions from a decrease in sales of certain mutual fund shares.

General, administrative and occupancy expenses declined $15.5 million, or 15.8%, primarily due to $13.6 million of client reimbursements related to two significant fund administrative errors in the third quarter 2010.

Interest expense declined $8.0 million, or 16.9%, primarily as a result of a 25 basis point decrease in the interest rates payable on all of JCG’s senior notes, excluding the convertible senior notes, as a result of S&P increasing JCG’s credit rating to BBB- on January 10, 2011.

Net investment losses totaling $23.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 include an $11.3 million loss from mark-to-market adjustments on the mutual fund share award economic hedge and $19.1 million of mark-to-market losses on trading securities. The mark-to-market losses on trading securities were partially offset by $8.4 million of gains generated by an economic hedging strategy implemented in late 2008, covering the majority of seed capital. The hedging strategy utilizes futures contracts to mitigate a portion of the earnings volatility created by the mark-to-market accounting of seed capital investments. JCG may modify or discontinue the hedging strategy at any time.

JCG recognized a $9.9 million net loss on early extinguishment of debt in the first quarter 2011 as a result of exercising its call right on the 6.250% Senior Notes. Under the terms of the call, JCG was required to pay the present value of the principal and interest that would have been paid if the debt had remained outstanding through its scheduled maturity.

JCG’s income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 includes the reversal of $4.0 million and $14.1 million of income tax contingency reserves, respectively, as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations, creating a net tax benefit of $2.5 million and $9.0 million, respectively.

Goodwill and Unamortized Intangible Assets

Due to declines in JCG’s stock price and overall market conditions during the third quarter 2011, the Company undertook a review for potential impairment of goodwill and unamortized intangible assets and concluded that no impairment exists at September 30, 2011. In the event that global market conditions and JCG’s results of operations continue to deteriorate, further analysis will be undertaken which may result in a material impairment charge.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

A summary of cash flow data for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in millions):

	2011			2010
Cash flows provided by (used for):
Operating activities	$	150.3		$	144.9
Investing activities	54.8			(129.7		)
Financing activities	(248.9		)	(51.9		)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	(43.8		)	(36.7		)
Balance beginning of period	373.2			324.7
Balance end of period	$	329.4		$	288.0

On an annual basis, JCG’s cash flow from operations historically has been positive and sufficient to fund ordinary operations and capital requirements. Fluctuations in operating cash flows are attributable to changes in net income and working capital items, which can vary from period to period based on the amount and timing of cash receipts and payments. The increase in cash flow from operations from the comparable prior year period was driven by higher revenues as a result of the increase in average assets under management.

Cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, includes purchases, sales and maturities of investments as well as economic hedging and vesting of mutual fund share awards. Purchases of investments totaling $158.2 million include $93.0 million from the seeding of new investment products in the second quarter 2011. Sales and maturities of investments totaling $218.0 million include the maturity of $93.1 million of U.S. Treasury notes, which were purchased in the second quarter 2010 and matured in August 2011, and proceeds of $32.6 million from the disposal of structured investment vehicle securities in the first quarter 2011. Cash used for investing activities for the comparable prior year period primarily represents $121.7 million for the net purchase of investments.

Cash used for financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily represents the repayment of $213.1 million principal amount of long-term debt for $223.0 million, $12.1 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests and $18.6 million of dividends paid to stockholders. Cash used for financing activities for the comparable prior year period primarily represents $31.4 million for the purchase of an additional 3% interest in INTECH combined with $12.2 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests and $7.4 million of dividends paid to stockholders.

Uses of Cash

Expected short-term uses of cash include ordinary operating expenditures, dividend payments, income tax payments, and interest and principal payments on outstanding debt. JCG may from time to time use available cash for acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. In addition, JCG may repurchase its outstanding debt securities and common stock through cash purchases, in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. JCG has not repurchased any of its common stock since 2008 and any future stock repurchases would require authorization from the Board of Directors, which could be provided at any time at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Any repurchases of debt securities or common stock will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

23

Dividend

On October 18, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share, payable on November 14, 2011, to stockholders of record on October 31, 2011. This quarterly rate represents an annualized dividend payout of $0.20 per share of common stock. The first and second 2011 quarterly dividends were paid on May 13, 2011 and August 12, 2011, respectively, to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 2, 2011, and July 29, 2011, respectively. Subject to the declaration by the Board of Directors, the next regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share will be paid on February 14, 2012, to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 3, 2012.

Interest Rate Adjustment Covenant

All of JCG’s senior notes, excluding the convertible senior notes, are subject to an interest rate adjustment covenant that provides that the interest rate payable will increase by 25 basis points for each level that the Company’s debt rating is decreased by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) from Baa3 or by S&P from BBB-, up to a maximum increase of 200 basis points. If the interest rate has been adjusted upward as a result of either Moody’s or S&P decreasing its rating, then for each level of a subsequent rating increase, the interest payable will be decreased by 25 basis points, but in no event to a rate less than the interest rate payable on the date of issuance of the respective notes. Subsequent to the retirement of the 5.875% Senior Notes on September 15, 2011, for each 25 basis point increase or decrease, JCG’s interest expense will now increase or decrease by approximately $1.1 million on an annualized basis. The interest rate adjustment covenant will permanently terminate if the Company’s debt ratings increase to Baa2 (or higher) by Moody’s and BBB (or higher) by S&P, with a stable or positive outlook regardless of any subsequent decrease in the ratings by either or both rating agencies. S&P increased JCG’s credit rating to BBB- on January 10, 2011, resulting in a 25 basis point decrease in the interest rate payable on all of JCG’s senior notes, excluding the convertible senior notes.

Other Sources of Liquidity

Shelf Registration

The Company has an effective Shelf Registration Statement with the SEC that allows it to offer for sale an indeterminate amount of preferred stock and additional common stock and debt securities.

24

Credit Facility

At September 30, 2011, JCG had a $100 million, unsecured, revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and swingline lender. Under the Credit Facility, the financing leverage ratio could not exceed 4.00x and the interest coverage ratio must have equaled or exceeded 3.50x. The breach of these financial covenants would have resulted in a default under the Credit Facility and would have prevented JCG from borrowing under the Credit Facility. In addition, long-term assets under management must have exceeded $100.0 billion. At September 30, 2011, JCG was in compliance with all covenants and there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility.

The covenants and the calculation of the ratios, as defined in the Credit Facility, were as follows (in millions):

	Last Four
	Quarters Ended
	September 30, 2011
Net income attributable to JCG	$	173.1
Add back:
Interest expense	55.2
Income tax provision	88.9
Depreciation and amortization	35.0
Noncash amortization of long-term incentive compensation	75.6
Unrealized gains or losses on investments	(11.7		)
Other nonrecurring cash charges	3.4
Noncash gain on sale of SIV securities	(5.8		)
Cash paid for deferred commissions and mutual fund share awards	(41.0		)
Adjusted net income	$	372.7
Debt (including capital leases and letters of credit)	$	594.6
Leverage Ratio (debt divided by adjusted net income)	1.60
Cannot exceed 4.00
Interest Coverage Ratio (adjusted net income divided by last four quarters interest expense)	6.8
Must equal or exceed 3.50
Minimum assets under management
Ending long-term assets under management (in billions)	$	139.5
Must exceed $100.0 billion

On October 14, 2011, JCG entered into a three-year, $250 million, unsecured, revolving credit facility (the “new Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and swingline lender. The New Credit Facility replaces the above Credit Facility, which expired on October 3, 2011. Under the new Credit Facility, the financing leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.00x and the interest coverage ratio must equal or exceed 4.00x.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company has had no material changes in its exposure to market risks from that previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2011, JCG’s management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed by the Company to seek to ensure that it records, processes, summarizes and reports in a timely manner the information it must disclose in reports that it files with or submits to the SEC. Richard M. Weil, Chief Executive Officer, and Bruce L. Koepfgen, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and participated in management’s evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, Messrs. Weil and Koepfgen concluded that as of the date of their evaluation, JCG’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There has been no change in JCG’s internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the third quarter 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, JCG’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

See Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 12 — Litigation and Other Regulatory Matters.

Item 1A.     Risk Factors

The Company has had no material changes in its risk factors from those previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Item 2.     Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

JCG has not repurchased any of its common stock since the third quarter 2008, and any future stock repurchases would require authorization from the Board of Directors, which could be provided at any time at the Board of Director’s discretion. JCG does not repurchase stock from employees under a withholding program to cover taxes. Tax withholdings on vesting employee stock-based compensation are satisfied by selling shares in the open market.
