Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Janus Capital Group Inc. (“Janus”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital Group Partners, Inc. (“CGPI”), has adopted a stock trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, to facilitate the ongoing repurchase of Janus common stock under Janus’ previously-announced stock repurchase program.

A 10b5-1 plan permits a company to repurchase its common stock during times when it would not normally be in the market due to possible possession of nonpublic information. A broker will have the authority to repurchase Janus shares in accordance with the specific prearranged terms of the plans, without further direction from Janus or CGPI, during Janus’ trading blackout period that exists prior to its second quarter earnings release.

The information in this Current Report is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
