INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

Janus Henderson U.S. Sustainable Equity ETF seeks long-term growth of capital.

FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. Investors may pay brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries on their purchases and sales of Fund shares, which are not reflected in the table or in the example below.

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Management Fees	0.55%
Other Expenses(1)	0.00%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	0.55%

(1) Other Expenses are based on the estimated expenses that the Fund expects to incur.

EXAMPLE:

The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 Year		3 Years
$	56	$	176

Portfolio Turnover:  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. Because the Fund was not in operation during the most recent fiscal year, no portfolio turnover information is available as of the date of this Prospectus.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities that are economically tied to the U.S. The Fund seeks to invest in companies whose products and services are considered by Janus Capital as contributing to positive environmental or social change and sustainable economic development, including those that are strategically aligned with environmental and social megatrends such as climate change, resource constraints, growing populations, and aging populations. A security is deemed to be economically tied to the U.S. if one or more of the following tests are met: (i) the company is organized in, or its primary business office or principal trading market of its equity is located in the U.S., (ii) a majority of the company’s revenues are derived from the U.S. or (iii) a majority of the company’s assets are located in the U.S.

The Fund generally invests in a core group of 30-50 equity securities, which consist primarily of common stocks, but may also include other types of instruments, such as depository receipts and warrants. The Fund may also invest in equity securities of real estate-related companies, including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and similar REIT-like entities. The Fund will

1_½Janus Henderson U.S. Sustainable Equity ETF

invest primarily in larger, well-established companies but may also invest in mid- and small-sized companies. The Fund’s uninvested assets may be held in cash, cash equivalents, and/or affiliated or unaffiliated exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”).

The Fund is “actively managed” and does not seek to replicate the composition or performance of an index. In selecting investments, the portfolio managers employ a “bottom-up” approach that focuses on fundamental research and considers, among other factors, a company’s growth potential, competitive positioning, operational quality, and strategy. The portfolio managers may also consider factors such as a company’s historic and projected return on capital, balance sheets, and financial models. Except as noted below, in selecting each investment, the portfolio managers will also consider environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors that can create sustainable value, such as a company’s supply chain, reputation, brand value, and use of management incentives. Key ESG factors considered as part of the investment process include corporate governance, human capital and diversity, carbon footprint, and business ethics. The portfolio managers evaluate and apply ESG factors relying on a mix of third-party data and internally generated analyses. The portfolio managers do not apply these ESG factors in managing the Fund’s cash and cash equivalents.

To identify the universe of investible securities for the Fund, the portfolio managers first apply broad-based negative screens, which incorporate third-party inputs to seek to avoid securities of issuers that, in the determination of Janus Capital, are significantly engaged in or derive more than de minimis revenue from industries, activities, or assets considered by the portfolio managers to have a negative impact on society or the environment. A current list of such activities, which may evolve over time, follows:

• alcohol;

• animal testing (non-medical);

• armaments;

• chemicals of concern;

• contentious industries;

• fossil fuel extraction and refining;

• fossil fuel power generation;

• fur;

• gambling;

• genetic engineering;

• intensive farming;

• meat and dairy production;

• nuclear power;

• pornography;

• tobacco production; and

• United Nations global compact violators.

The Fund generally sells a stock if, in the portfolio managers’ opinion, there has been a regulatory, industry, or position-level change that may impair a company’s revenue growth. The Fund may also sell a stock if, in the portfolio managers’ opinion, the company’s business model no longer meets the sustainable investment criteria employed in managing the Fund.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

The biggest risk is that the Fund’s returns will vary, and you could lose money. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks, which tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices. The principal risks and special considerations associated with investing in the Fund are set forth below.

Market Risk.  The value of the Fund’s portfolio may decrease if the value of an individual company or security, or multiple companies or securities, in the portfolio decreases or if the portfolio managers’ belief about a company’s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies or securities perform, the value of the Fund’s portfolio could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, economic sector, or the market as a whole. Market risk may be magnified if certain social, political, economic, and other conditions and events (such as terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, natural disasters, epidemics and other pandemics, including the COVID-19 outbreak) adversely interrupt the global economy and financial markets.

2_½Janus Henderson U.S. Sustainable Equity ETF

Sustainable Investment Risk.  The Fund follows a sustainable investment approach by investing in companies that relate to certain sustainable development themes and demonstrate adherence to ESG practices. Accordingly, the Fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting similar business or businesses within the same economic sector. Additionally, due to its exclusionary criteria, the Fund may not be invested in certain industries or sectors. As a result, the Fund may be overweight or underweight in certain industries or sectors relative to its benchmark index, which may cause the Fund’s performance to be more or less sensitive to developments affecting those sectors. In addition, since sustainable and ESG investing takes into consideration factors beyond traditional financial analysis, the investment opportunities for the Fund may be limited at times. Sustainability and ESG-related information provided by issuers and third parties, upon which the portfolio managers may rely, continues to develop, and may be incomplete, inaccurate, use different methodologies, or be applied differently across companies and industries. Further, the regulatory landscape for sustainable and ESG investing in the United States is still developing and future rules and regulations may require the Fund to modify or alter its investment process. Similarly, government policies incentivizing companies to engage in sustainable and ESG practices may fall out of favor, which could potentially limit the Fund’s investment universe. There is also a risk that the companies identified through the investment process may fail to adhere to sustainable and/or ESG-related business practices, which may result in the Fund selling a security when it might otherwise be disadvantageous to do so. There is no guarantee that sustainable investments will outperform the broader market on either an absolute or relative basis.

Industry and Sector Risk.  Although the Fund does not concentrate its investments in specific industries or industry sectors, it emphasizes certain themes and megatrends. As a result, at times, it may have a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting similar business or businesses within the same economic sector or that benefit from the same megatrend. Companies in the same industry or economic sector or that benefit from the same megatrend may be similarly affected by economic or market events, making the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments than funds that invest more broadly. As the Fund’s portfolio becomes more concentrated, the Fund is less able to spread risk and potentially reduce the risk of loss and volatility. In addition, the Fund may be overweight or underweight in certain industries or sectors relative to its benchmark index due to its ESG focus, which may cause the Fund’s performance to be more or less sensitive to developments affecting those sectors.

Management Risk.  The Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio and is therefore subject to the risk that the portfolio managers may not be successful in identifying investment opportunities that are aligned with the sustainable investment approach that the Fund employs. The Fund may underperform its benchmark index or other funds with similar investment objectives.

Small- and Mid-Sized Companies Risk.  The Fund’s investments in securities issued by small- and mid-sized companies, which can include smaller, start-up companies offering emerging products or services, may involve greater risks than are customarily associated with larger, more established companies. Securities issued by small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more volatile and somewhat more speculative than securities issued by larger or more established companies and may underperform as compared to the securities of larger or more established companies.

Liquidity Risk.  The Fund may invest in securities or instruments that do not trade actively or in large volumes and may make investments that are less liquid than other investments. Also, the Fund may make investments that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Investments that are illiquid or that trade in lower volumes may be more difficult to value. When there is no willing buyer and investments cannot be readily sold at the desired time or price, the Fund may have to accept a lower price or may not be able to sell the security or instrument at all. Investments in foreign securities, particularly those of issuers located in emerging market countries, tend to have greater exposure to liquidity risk than domestic securities. In unusual market conditions, even normally liquid securities may be affected by a degree of liquidity risk (i.e., if the number and capacity of traditional market participants is reduced). An inability to sell one or more portfolio positions can adversely affect the Fund’s value or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities.

Real Estate Securities Risk.  The Fund’s performance may be affected by the risks associated with investments in real estate-related companies. The value of real estate-related companies’ securities is sensitive to changes in real estate values and rental income, property taxes, interest rates, tax and regulatory requirements, supply and demand, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the company. Investments in REITs involve the same risks as other real estate investments. In addition, a REIT could fail to qualify for tax-free pass-through of its income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) or fail to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which could produce adverse economic consequences for the REIT and its investors, including the Fund.

3_½Janus Henderson U.S. Sustainable Equity ETF

Exchange-Traded Funds Risk.  The Fund may invest in ETFs for temporary liquidity purposes and to manage duration and cash positioning. ETFs are typically open-end investment companies which may seek to track the performance of a specific index or be actively managed. ETFs are traded on a national securities exchange at market prices that may vary from the net asset value of their underlying investments. Accordingly, there may be times when an ETF trades at a premium or discount to its NAV. As a result, the Fund may pay more or less than NAV when it buys ETF shares, and may receive more or less than NAV when it sells those shares. When the Fund invests in an ETF, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will also bear a pro rata portion of the ETF’s expenses. Additionally, when purchasing or selling shares of an ETF, the Fund may pay commissions or other trading costs as part of the transaction. The Fund is also subject to the risks associated with the securities in which the ETF invests.

New/Smaller Sized Fund Risk.  Because the Fund is relatively new, it has a limited operating history and a small asset base. The Fund’s performance may not represent how the Fund is expected to or may perform in the long term if and when it becomes larger. If a new or smaller fund were to fail to attract sufficient assets to achieve or maintain economies of scale, performance may be negatively impacted, and any resulting liquidation could create negative transaction costs for the Fund and tax consequences for investors.

Exchange Listing and Trading Issues Risk.  Although Fund shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”), there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will develop or be maintained. The lack of an active market for Fund shares, as well as periods of high volatility, disruptions in the creation/redemption process, or factors affecting the liquidity of the underlying securities held by the Fund, may result in the Fund’s shares trading at a premium or discount to its NAV. Trading in Fund shares may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Fund shares inadvisable. In addition, trading is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange’s “circuit breaker” rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the Fund’s listing will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.

Fluctuation of NAV and Market Price Risk.  The NAV of the Fund’s shares will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s securities holdings. The market prices of the Fund’s shares will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in the Fund’s NAV and supply and demand of shares on the Exchange. Volatile market conditions, an absence of trading in shares of the Fund, or a high volume of trading in the Fund, may result in trading prices in the Fund’s shares that differ significantly from the Fund’s NAV. Additionally, during a “flash crash,” the market prices of the Fund’s shares may decline suddenly and significantly resulting in Fund shares trading at a substantial discount to NAV. Such a decline may not reflect the performance of the portfolio securities held by the Fund. Flash crashes may cause Authorized Participants and other market makers to limit or cease trading in the Fund’s shares for temporary or longer periods, which may result in an increase in the variance between market prices of the Fund’s shares and the Fund’s NAV. Shareholders could suffer significant losses to the extent that they sell shares at these temporarily low market prices.

It cannot be predicted whether Fund shares will trade below, at or above the Fund’s NAV. Further, the securities held by the Fund may be traded in markets that close at a different time than the Exchange. Liquidity in those securities may be reduced after the applicable closing times. Accordingly, during the time when the Exchange is open but after the applicable market closing or, fixing settlement times, bid-ask spreads and the resulting premium or discount to the Fund shares’ NAV is likely to widen. Similarly, the Exchange may be closed at times or days when markets for securities held by the Fund are open, which may increase bid-ask spreads and the resulting premium or discount to the Fund shares’ NAV when the Exchange re-opens. The Fund’s bid-ask spread and the resulting premium or discount to the Fund’s NAV may also be impacted by the liquidity of the underlying securities held by the Fund, particularly in instances of significant volatility of the underlying securities.

Authorized Participant Risk.  The Fund may have a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). Only APs who have entered into agreements with the Fund’s distributor may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. These APs have no obligation to submit creation or redemption orders and, as a result, there is no assurance that an active trading market for the Fund’s shares will be established or maintained. This risk may be heightened to the extent that the securities underlying the Fund are traded outside of a collateralized settlement system. In that case, APs may be required to post collateral on certain trades on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants), which only a limited number of APs may be willing or able to do. Additionally, to the extent that those APs exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and no other AP is able to step forward to create and redeem in either of these cases, shares may trade like closed-end fund shares at a premium or a discount to NAV and possibly face delisting.

MANAGEMENT

Investment Adviser:  Janus Capital Management LLC

Portfolio Managers:  Hamish Chamberlayne, CFA, is Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund, which he has co-managed since inception. Aaron Scully, CFA, is Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund, which he has co-managed since inception.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES

The Fund is an actively-managed Exchange-Traded Fund (“ETF”). Unlike shares of traditional mutual funds, shares of the Fund are not individually redeemable and may only be purchased or redeemed directly from the Fund at NAV in large increments called “Creation Units” through APs. Janus Capital may modify the Creation Unit size with prior notification to the Fund’s APs. See the ETF portion of the Janus Henderson website for the Fund’s current Creation Unit size. The Fund may issue Creation Units in exchange for cash or portfolio securities (and an amount of cash), and generally redeems Creation Units in exchange for portfolio securities (and an amount of cash) that the Fund specifies each day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Fund shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund. Shares of the Fund are listed and trade on the Exchange, and individual investors can purchase or sell shares in much smaller increments for cash in the secondary market through a broker-dealer. These transactions, which do not involve the Fund, are made at market prices that may vary throughout the day and differ from the Fund’s NAV. As a result, you may pay more than NAV (at a premium) when you purchase shares, and receive less than NAV (at a discount) when you sell shares, in the secondary market.

Investors purchasing or selling shares in the secondary market may also incur additional costs, including brokerage commissions and an investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Fund (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). Historical information regarding the Fund’s bid/ask spread, when available, can be accessed on the Fund’s website at janushenderson.com/performance by selecting the Fund.

TAX INFORMATION

The Fund’s distributions are generally taxable, and will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account (in which case you may be taxed at ordinary income tax rates upon withdrawal of your investment from such account). A sale of Fund shares may result in a capital gain or loss.

PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL  INTERMEDIARIES

If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), Janus Capital and/or its affiliates may pay broker-dealers or intermediaries for the sale and/or maintenance of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
