We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for investing in Janus. As we write this letter at the close of the third quarter, the stock market has just posted its best September since 1939. Skeptics who think the economy is heading for a double-dip recession may call it a case of irrational exuberance. But we think that these “double dippers” underestimated the resiliency of corporate America. U.S. economic growth of around 2% over the next 15 months would not be terrific, but it doesn’t point to a collapsing economy. U.S. corporate profits and finances are in remarkably good shape, bolstered by unprecedented cost cuts, rising cash flows and balance sheets that are much healthier than a few years ago.
 
Of course, we understand that economic challenges remain. While the U.S. recession officially ended in June 2009, it hasn’t felt that way for millions of Americans. Nearly 15 million people remain out of work, and the economy isn’t generating enough jobs to significantly slash the unemployment rate. The new health care law, changes in tax policy and financial regulations are all weighing heavily on corporate confidence. The modest recoveries in retail sales and the housing market, meanwhile, leave economic growth below where it was a few years ago.
 
Despite these headwinds, we see opportunities in individual securities, and we’re confident that evaluating companies on their fundamentals is the way to prevail in this uncertain era. For investors with a long horizon, we suggest taking a balanced approach, holding a range of equities and fixed-income assets for the best potential risk-adjusted returns. Patience isn’t easy, but it can be rewarding.
 
Equities Have Room to Run
 
Even after the recent rally, stock valuations are compelling. Many large-cap U.S. stocks are trading at price-earnings multiples that are below average, especially when considered in the context of today’s low interest rates. Free cash flows are rising, indicating that companies are finding ways to grow in this environment. And dividends are back in vogue. More than 175 companies in the S&P 500® Index have initiated or raised dividends this year while only three have lowered or eliminated distributions. We believe that dividends are likely to provide a meaningful portion of the total expected returns from equities in the future and we like the financial discipline they impose upon corporate managers.
 
Foreign markets are providing significant new growth areas too. Rising household incomes in China, Eastern Europe and Latin America are boosting demand for imported goods. China may be putting the brakes on its economy, but its gross domestic product still soared 9.6% late in the period. In Europe, Germany continues to surprise on the upside, with the manufacturing and services purchasing indexes rising in October ahead of consensus forecasts.
 
Granted, high unemployment and a weak housing market are hindering a broad recovery. But stocks may not need a raging economy to move higher at this stage. Non-financial U.S. firms are sitting on more than $1.8 trillion in cash – money that may accelerate dividends, share buybacks, acquisitions or business investment, fueling higher stock prices. Consumer spending appears resilient for “affordable luxury” goods. And we’re seeing merger-and-acquisition activity pick up, a sign of improving investor sentiment. We can’t say when, but we believe the markets will eventually start to appreciate the value of fundamentally solid firms.
 
Finding Values in Bonds
 
Flows into fixed-income funds have surged by over $220 billion this year through September, prompting media buzz of a “bond bubble,” particularly at the short end of the Treasury curve, where yields have been flattening and are near record lows. Certain areas of the market have lost some luster in our view. However, we disagree with the notion of an across-the-board bond bubble. Low inflation data is supportive of current yields. And we continue to see value in investment grade and high-yield corporate credits, along with some foreign corporate bonds. High-yield bonds may also continue to benefit from investor demand for income in this low-rate climate.
 
Naturally, we’re always on the lookout for changes in expectations for inflation. Recent data points have been

disinflationary, and we expect inflation to trend between 1.0-1.5% over the next 12 months. But we remain concerned that inflation could ramp up quickly as the economy returns to a more normal footing, eventually leading to rate hikes and price pressure across the yield curve.
 
We’re closely monitoring the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) actions too. The Fed’s program to buy $600 billion in Treasuries (on top of existing asset purchases) is likely to stimulate the economy on the margin and be an uplifting force for “risk assets” like stocks and high-yield bonds. Yet pumping $110 billion a month into the system – essentially by printing money – comes with a tremendous amount of skepticism. The Fed runs the very real risk of creating new asset bubbles, sparking runaway inflation and further devaluing the dollar. It’s a risk we’re monitoring closely.
 
Looking Ahead
 
For investors, one issue now is whether to buy stocks and bonds through a passively managed index strategy or go with an active approach. Buying an index fund may certainly look appealing from a risk perspective. But the major indexes may prove to be a poor tool for risk management and preservation of capital, saddling investors with large stakes in companies that may have deteriorating fundamentals. This approach may be risky in such an uncertain and volatile climate, and some of the best opportunities may not be the companies that dominate an index. More than ever, we believe it’s critical to dig deep and evaluate companies on their fundamentals – cash flows, balance sheets, capital structures and credit strategies – in order to determine potential returns. In our view, it’s the only way to discover companies that will ultimately reward you, our shareholders.
 
Thanks again for your trust and confidence in Janus.
 
Sincerely,

U.S. Treasury securities are direct debt obligations issued by the U.S. Government. With government bonds, the investor is a creditor of the government. Treasury Bills and U.S. Government Bonds are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, are generally considered to be free of credit risk and typically carry lower yields than other securities. Bonds in a portfolio are typically intended to provide income and/or diversification. In general, the bond market is volatile. Bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.

Useful Information About Your Fund Report (unaudited)

 
Management Commentaries
 
The Management Commentaries in this report include valuable insight from each of the Fund’s managers as well as statistical information to help you understand how your Fund’s performance and characteristics stack up against those of comparable indices.
 
If a Fund invests in foreign securities, this report may include information about country exposure. Country exposure is based primarily on the country of domicile. However, the Funds’ managers may allocate a company to a country based on other factors such as location of the company’s principal office, the location of the principal trading market for the company’s securities, or the country where a majority of the company’s revenues are derived.
 
Please keep in mind that the opinions expressed by the Funds’ managers in the Management Commentaries are just that: opinions. They are a reflection of the managers’ best judgment at the time this report was compiled, which was September 30, 2010. As the investing environment changes, so could the managers’ opinions. These views are unique to each manager and aren’t necessarily shared by fellow employees or by Janus in general.
 
Fund Expenses
 
We believe it’s important for our shareholders to have a clear understanding of Fund expenses and the impact they have on investment return.
 
The following is important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears in each Fund’s Management Commentary within this Annual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for each Fund.
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (applicable to Class A Shares only); redemption fees, where applicable (and any related exchange fees); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares only); administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares only); administrative fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class I Shares only); and other Fund expenses. The example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The example is based upon an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six-month period from April 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010.
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line of the table in each example provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table in each example provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based upon each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus Capital”) has contractually agreed to waive each Fund’s total operating expenses, excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, if applicable, class-specific distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares only), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares only), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes and extraordinary expenses, including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses, to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012. Expenses in the examples reflect application of these waivers. Had the waivers not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher. More information regarding the waivers is available in the Funds’ prospectuses.

| SEPTEMBER 30, 2010


 

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees (where applicable) and any related exchange fees. These fees are fully described in the prospectus. Therefore, the second line of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Janus Global Real Estate Fund (unaudited)

             

Fund Snapshot
We believe global real estate investments can be a long-term source of wealth creation through attractive current income and substantial capital appreciation over time. We use intensive fundamental research in an effort to uncover companies with prime assets in strategic locations that practice disciplined capital allocation and show a clear ability to create value.

Performance Overview
 
Janus Global Real Estate Fund’s Class I shares returned 23.97%, while its benchmark, the FTSE/EPRA NAREIT Global Index, returned 18.24% for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2010. The Fund’s former primary benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index, returned 18.41%.
 
Market Environment
 
In last year’s letter, we described 2009 as “tumultuous,” a “roller-coaster” and “not a year for the faint of heart.” We also discussed lessons learned on issues ranging from the use of leverage to coping with fear in an investment environment where panic had taken hold. Our hope and anticipation then was that 2010 would prove a more “normal” year, marked by clear progress toward a sustainable global recovery and equity markets that once again traded on fundamentals. No such luck. In fact, even though there was certainly less volatility over the 12-month period, we feel as though we’re exiting the year in a thickening macroeconomic haze with perhaps even more uncertainty surrounding the global economy. This likely means more macro-driven markets.
 
Much of the macro debate continues to center on the policy responses to a lackluster and increasingly tenuous recovery, at least in the developed markets. And a big part of the problem, as we see it, has been the lack of coordination among developed-market governments/central banks, which often appear to be competing more than cooperating. Take, for example, the consensus view at period end that November 2010 will bring another round of quantitative easing in the U.S. This, not surprisingly, has led to steep declines in the U.S. dollar, which has roiled currency markets and sparked a first bout of government intervention from Japan and Brazil – not exactly a confidence-inspiring result for global markets. The only thing that has become abundantly clear to us from this latest episode is that not every country can have the cheapest currency and rely on an export-driven recovery.
 
But the biggest gap appears to be emerging in the varying reactions and approaches to sovereign debts and structural deficits. On one side, there are countries, most notably the U.K., where austerity measures have been introduced and there at least seems to be sufficient political and/or public will to implement change. On the other side are countries like the U.S., where the focus remains on improving the present, and postponing for as long as possible any economic hardship or sacrifice. Certainly, there are those, including several highly regarded economists, who sanction this latter approach, arguing both that all efforts for now should concentrate on stimulus and aggressively countering any potential deflationary pressures, and that the mounting public debt and stretched federal balance sheet can be addressed later. This sounds a bit like whistling past the graveyard to us.
 
The last major market issue we want to address is our bifurcated investment world, or emerging vs. developed markets. Put simply, the economic storm clouds hovering over the developed markets are largely absent in most emerging markets. In fact, in the three emerging markets where we’re most active – China, Brazil and India – the economic backdrop is quite constructive. No doubt, strong gross domestic product (GDP) growth, a rising consumer class, and healthy sovereign balance sheets are catalysts for a more attractive investment environment. This is not to say that these markets don’t have issues and potentially significant risks, or that they can operate in a vacuum; nor is it to imply that they can enjoy continued success if the developed world falls back into recession. But for now, we consider them to be the bright lights of our investment universe, and the macroeconomic contrasts to their developed counterparts could not be starker in our opinion.
 
Global Real Estate Overview
 
Global real estate outperformed the broader market in the 12-month period. We believe the bulk of the strong returns can be chalked up to the oversold conditions (attractive valuations) that existed at the start of the year.

But we also believe that to some degree the period marked a return by commercial real estate to its more traditional role in listed markets, which we view as a less volatile, somewhat uncorrelated asset class, with more port-in-the-storm than high-flying growth characteristics. Facilitating this return was the continued improvement in corporate balance sheets driven by a concerted move to more conservative debt levels. This de-leveraging process has been painful for the sector, but our hope is that management teams have learned their lesson on the perils excessive debt so that the next time a financial tsunami hits – and we’re quite certain there will be a next time – these companies should be better positioned to enjoy the value backstop that properly financed commercial real estate should provide.
 
Within the index, the U.S. and Canada were the best performers of the major developed markets. Hong Kong was also strong, while Japan and Europe, with the exception of Sweden and Switzerland, lagged. Pacing the U.S. was the multi-family sector, which continued to benefit from the “unbundling” effect as renters grew more comfortable with their job/financial prospects, almost no new supply was added, and the for-sale housing market was plagued by ongoing distress and uncertainty. Hong Kong landlords outperformed, as absorption and rents turned positive.
 
Of the emerging markets, Brazil was the standout. Its shopping center owners benefited from the solid growth in retail sales, a byproduct of the rising consumer class; and its homebuilders continued to execute well in our opinion, taking advantage of strong secular demand trends and extensive government-sponsored efforts to promote homeownership. India, on the other hand, was one of only a few geographies in the global index to finish the period in negative territory. Of the markets where the Fund is invested, India’s is the most nascent, and we believe many of its real estate management teams – several of which we view as among the most entrepreneurial we’ve encountered globally – are still learning to navigate the complexities of the public markets.
 
Strategy Overview
 
As in 2009, the Fund maintained a defensive posture with a strong focus on current income. Approximately two-thirds of its outperformance relative to the benchmark resulted from geographic allocation; the other third came from stock selection. Currency weightings and cash balances both subtracted from returns.
 
In regards to geography, our most beneficial investment decision was to maintain a sizable overweight position in the U.S.; the Fund averaged a 56% position, significantly higher than the 36% weighting in the Index. The strategy here – consistent with our thinking last year – was based on the following rationale: 1) reasonable valuations for U.S. real estate investment trusts (REITs); 2) a negatively biased macro outlook for the global economy, resulting in a view that there would be a continued “de-risking” of portfolios and a flight to quality, both of which typically favor the U.S.; 3) attractive yields of U.S. REITs on a relative basis, supporting a “paid-to-wait” thesis; and 4) the ability to gain significant international exposure through buy-rated U.S. equities. Given the significant overweight and the outperformance, it’s not surprising that seven of the top ten contributors were U.S. holdings.
 
While the U.S. accounted for nearly half of the upside from geographic allocation, a sizeable portion also came from one other overweight, Canada; two underweight positions, Australia and Japan; and a well-timed entry into India.
 
In terms of stock picking, our best results were generated in the U.S.; additional markets where we outperformed included the U.K., Brazil, China and Hong Kong. With the U.K., the solid results came more from our research and analyses leading us to select a good entry point, while the outperformance in Brazil and Hong Kong was almost all due to company selection (strong, bottom-up research). Similarly, the bulk of the upside from China resulted from stock picking.
 
On the negative side, we did a poor job of managing our currency exposures. Our biggest problem was too many U.S. dollars, as the greenback proved not-so-mighty, particularly in the last quarter. Further compounding the problem was our failure to anticipate strengthening in the euro and the yen; not only did we not anticipate strengthening, but we also thought that both currencies might actually weaken, even in the face of widely publicized policies espousing further easing in the U.S. Our other failure in this arena was not hedging the Fund’s lack of exposure to the Australian dollar. While the underweighting of Australia turned out to be the right strategy with regard to equity returns, currency losses wiped out a big portion of the outperformance. This one we should have gotten right, as we’re firm believers in the relative strength of commodity-led sovereigns, particularly those like Australia that are tied to China’s growth. Moreover, in hindsight, the rate increases in Australia were well telegraphed.
 
Our poor execution in the lodging sector was another significant negative. Not only did we have bad timing in re-entering the sector, but we also had subpar stock picking

once we began adding positions. Hotel stocks staged a formidable rally during the year, with many posting gains in excess of 40%. Unconvinced of the strength of both the sector and the broader economy, we mostly avoided the space and largely missed out on the move. Worse still, the few buys we did make turned out to be substantial underperformers, and all three of the Fund’s lodging holdings ended up hurting returns for the period.
 
Lastly, on strategy, we want to once again emphasize our focus on dividends. Current income has always been a key tenant of our investment philosophy, as we think it should be for any real estate strategy. A look back at the performance of listed real estate in developed markets over longer periods of time suggests that current income (dividends) should account for a substantial percentage of the total return from stabilized commercial real estate. Almost all of the Fund’s holdings pay a dividend, and how companies think about and execute on returning capital to shareholders is a critical component of our investment analysis/process.
 
Coming out of the financial crisis and what proved for many to be a lost decade in the equity markets, there seems to be more investor interest in dividends and yield. This added attention is likely to continue to gain momentum the longer we languish in what is effectively a zero-interest-rate environment. Accordingly, we believe dividend-paying stocks, including most real estate equities, should be a beneficiary of this trend, and we hope our long-standing commitment to current income boosts returns for our shareholders.
 
Derivatives
 
In order to capitalize on the volatility in the U.S. REIT sector, the Fund traded options during the period. We periodically sold short-duration, out-of-the-money put and call options in liquid, well-understood names, most core holdings of the Fund. The rationale behind this strategy was to generate additional income for shareholders while limiting risks to potentially having to buy or sell shares at what we viewed as attractive entry/exit prices. It’s anticipated that there will be additional opportunities to use this options strategy, although it’s difficult to imagine another stretch with the kind of elevated volatility that made selling options such a lucrative endeavor. Beyond this straight-forward, conservative approach, we don’t envision the Fund engaging in derivatives trading. The clear focus will remain on acquiring the best real estate equities across global markets at attractive prices. Please see the Derivative Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for a discussion of derivatives used by the Fund.
 
Outlook
 
Our outlook is for more volatility and more macro-driven markets. Hardly ideal for research-intensive, bottom-up stock pickers like us, but it reminds us of why we’re so partial to real estate, or more specifically commercial real estate. For one, it’s a relatively inefficient asset class when it comes to valuation, meaning there are almost always opportunities. Secondly, because “all real estate is local,” there are usually markets bucking the trend, and having a global mandate allows us to be sufficiently nimble to go to where we are finding suitable opportunities, and, equally important, steer clear of markets that are stretched or headed for a bad stage in the cycle. And finally, we believe well-managed, conservatively financed, strategically located hard assets with contractual cash flows (often inflation-indexed) are excellent vehicles for wealth preservation, especially in uncertain times.
 
We suspect that we will continue to confront a bifurcated investment universe, punctuated by ongoing de-leveraging, a muted recovery and limited growth prospects in the developed world; and a wide range of development and acquisition opportunities in fast-growing emerging markets. But no matter the geography, we will stick to the key tenants of our long-established investment philosophy: focused businesses, disciplined allocation of capital, compelling valuation, high barrier-to-entry markets, attractive/irreplaceable real estate assets, development/re-development expertise, and quality management.
 
Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Global Real Estate Fund.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Call 877.33JANUS(52687) (or 800.525.3713 if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) or visit janus.com/advisor/mutual-funds (or janus.com/allfunds if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for performance current to the most recent month-end.
 
Performance shown for Class A Shares at Maximum Offering Price (MOP) includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this charge and would have been lower had this charge been taken into account.

Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
For Class D Shares, Class I Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares, a 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 90 days or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.
 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses allocated to any class (excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, distribution and shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class S Shares), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012. The contractual waiver may be terminated at any time prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Returns shown include fee waivers, if any, and without such waivers, returns would have been lower.
 
The fees and expenses shown for all share classes except Class D Shares and Class T Shares were determined based on net assets as of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009. Expense information shown for Class D Shares and Class T Shares reflects estimated annualized expenses that the Fund share classes expect to incur during the fiscal year. Contractual waivers agreed to by Janus Capital, where applicable, are included under “Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund has a performance-based management fee that adjusts up or down based on the Fund’s performance relative to an approved benchmark index over a performance measurement period.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with nondiversification, investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), and derivatives. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
Foreign securities have additional risks including exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The prices of foreign securities held by the Fund, and therefore the Fund’s performance, may decline in response to such risks.
 
The Fund invests in REITs, which may be subject to a higher degree of market risk because of concentration in a specific industry, sector or geographic region. REITs may be subject to risks including, but not limited to: legal, political, liquidity, interest rate risks, a decline in the value of real estate, risks related to general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trust and defaults by borrowers. To the extent the Fund invests in foreign REITs, the Fund may be subject to fluctuations in currency rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
The Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets. In general, emerging market investments have historically been subject to significant gains and/or losses. As such, the Fund’s returns and NAV may be subject to volatility.
 
Due to certain investment strategies, the Fund may have an increased position in cash.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Net dividends reinvested are the dividends that remain to be reinvested after foreign tax obligations have been met. Such obligations vary from country to country.
 
The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets, measured at the time of purchase, in the type of securities described by its name.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class I Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009, after the reorganization of each class of Janus Adviser Global Real Estate Fund (the “JAD predecessor fund”) into corresponding shares of Janus Global Real Estate Fund. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the historical performance of each corresponding class of the JAD predecessor fund prior to the reorganization, calculated using the fees and expenses of the corresponding class of the JAD predecessor fund respectively, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010. The performance shown for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class I Shares. The performance shown reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have

been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class T Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009, after the reorganization of the JAD predecessor fund into Janus Global Real Estate Fund. Performance shown for Class T Shares for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the historical performance of the JAD predecessor fund’s Class I Shares prior to the reorganization, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class T Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class T Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class T Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class T Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.
 
Ranking is for Class I Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.
 
There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.
 
See Notes to Schedules of Investments for index definitions.
 
The Fund’s portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the indices. The indices are unmanaged and are not available for direct investment; therefore, their performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Janus Long/Short Fund (unaudited)

             

Fund Snapshot
We believe that building a portfolio of long positions across the globe and market cap spectrum with short positions used to hedge risk will drive returns over time with dampened volatility. We emphasize absolute return and downside protection by investing in long positions with a focus on dividend paying stocks. Short selling and call overwriting strategies are employed in an effort to hedge risk and increase income, respectively.

Performance Summary
 
Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Long/Short Fund. During the 12-month period ending September 30, 2010, the Fund’s Class I Shares returned 8.50%, versus the S&P 500 Index, the Fund’s primary benchmark, which returned 10.16%. The period was marked by a continued uncertain global economic environment, driven by sovereign debt concerns, particularly in the Southern European economies such as Greece and Spain, as well as a U.S. economy whose recovery remains stubbornly slow. As we write, there are signs of recovery, and we would expect to begin to see some employment growth, but given the magnitude of de-levering that continues to take place in the developed markets, we would expect developed market (specifically the U.S. and Western Europe) economic growth to remain relatively low, resulting in continued volatile equity markets. From our perspective, this provides an excellent opportunity to invest and generate strong returns, both on the long and the short side, because strong and weak companies will begin to be recognized for their company-specific fundamentals, both good and bad. We have in fact begun to see this dynamic, which has been an important aspect of the strong returns the Fund has delivered over the last year.
 
Before we discuss individual companies, we wanted to explain a few changes we have made and continue to make to the construction of the portfolio that we believe will help the Fund generate strong absolute returns with a lower degree of volatility. In fact, you may have already noticed the effect of those changes over the last six months.
 
When we opened Janus Long/Short Fund four years ago, it was designed to be generally between 40-60% net long in order to generate positive absolute returns over a market cycle, with substantially less volatility than the market. Given the since inception cumulative total return of the Fund of 9.74% vs. the S&P 500’s -1.71% through period end, we did in fact achieve this goal. However, following the market crisis that began in late 2007, the volatility of the market increased substantially and has remained high for the last three years. Furthermore, the market remains highly susceptible to macro fears, which often lead to very significant movements in the market, both up and down. It is our view that this dynamic is likely to persist for some time, which has led us to conclude that the returns of Janus Long/Short Fund were more volatile than we believe they should be for this type of fund. For this reason we have made a few important changes to the Fund that should allow us to continue to generate strong returns (alpha), while minimizing the market volatility (beta) such that the experience as a shareholder (and we are significant shareholders as well), will be a little smoother.
 
The first change we have made is to reduce the net long position of the portfolio to between 10% and 30%, on average. Essentially this should (and clearly has over the very volatile last few months) take much of the daily volatility out of the Fund. Please note however, there may be days that this isn’t the case. Stocks don’t always react as expected on any given day, but our goal is to continue to provide strong returns with lower volatility.
 
The second change we made is to increase the use of exchange traded funds (ETFs) on the short side. This is the primary reason we are comfortable reducing the net long position in the portfolio. By adding short ETFs, the objective is to dampen the effect of market and industry volatility, while still isolating the alpha of the individual name we are long. Please note, we are still shorting individual names, we are just adding more market hedges to mitigate the macro volatility around those names.
 
The third change is not so much a shift as it is an evolution of the strategy. Because we believe that dividend yield will be an increasingly important component of the total return of stocks (actually, they always have been important; the last 30 years or so have been an exception in our view, not a new paradigm), we have increasingly invested our long book in companies that have a strong commitment to returning cash to shareholders through dividends, and you should expect that a large portion of the total return of the Fund will come in the form of

(unaudited)

dividends (please note that the Fund will reinvest these dividends so the shareholder will not expect to see these dividends). The point is simply to explain where the total return of the Fund is coming from.
 
The last change is also evolutionary. We have always used options to generate cash returns, but again, with the lower level of net long, we can increasingly use options, both calls and puts to generate cash returns. It is important that you understand that the use of these options is to reduce risk, not increase it. Let us give you a couple of examples of how this works.
 
If we are long a company, we can sell a call option on that company and generate cash up front. In the event the stock does not achieve that level during the timeframe of the option period, the option expires worthless and we keep the option premium, which effectively looks like a dividend yield (in fact we can create a stream of income off the call premium that is as large or larger than the yield the company pays). In the event the stock appreciates through the level (or strike) of the option, we simply keep the return of both the stock to that level, plus the option premium, and walk away. For example, if a stock we owned sold at $22 and the strike price of the option was $25 and the option premium was a $1, the scenarios are as follows: if the stock does not go to $25, the Fund keeps the $1, which provides an immediate 4% annualized return. Furthermore, if the stock goes through $25, we still generate a return of 17.6% (13.6% from $22 to $25, plus the 4% premium). This strategy is called call overwriting, and it is a very effective way of generating absolute returns. We will also sell puts on companies we are willing to own at a lower level. For example, if we would like to own a stock at $20 but it is selling at $22, we can sell a put for say $1 with a strike price of $20. If the stock doesn’t fall to $20, the Fund keeps the $1 (a 5% effective yield). If it does fall to $20, we are effectively buying the stock at $19 ($20 less the $1 premium), and protecting the fund from the 9% decline from $22 to $20.
 
Our derivative positions contributed to overall performance during the period. Please see the Derivative Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for a discussion of derivatives used by the Fund.
 
We are confident that these changes and modifications to the portfolio will help the Fund generate the low volatility absolute returns typical of a long/short fund. Please note, however, this is not a market neutral fund. It does have exposure to the market, but we expect it to be lower than before given the changes to its principal investment strategy mentioned above. We will continue to strive to generate alpha through our stock picking on both the long and short side, as well as capture as much income as we can through dividends and option premiums. We hope you will be pleased with the results of this modification in structure.
 
What Worked and What did Not
 
During the period the following were weak performers for the Fund on the long side: Mylan Labs, Assured Guaranty, and St. Joe.
 
While Mylan, a generic pharmaceutical company, performed poorly during the period, we remain confident in its attractive valuation and opportunity to capitalize on the enormous number of pharmaceuticals becoming generic over the coming years. Assured Guaranty provides guarantee insurance for municipal bonds. Though there is no question that municipalities are feeling the effect of overspending early in the decade and now face reduced tax receipts to service their obligations, our work suggests the market overreacted to the magnitude of the risk. For this reason, we remain comfortable with the position which we believe is substantially undervalued. St. Joe was finally beginning to perform well as the new international airport in Panama City opened in May 2010. Unfortunately, May was also the month of the BP oil spill, which sapped investor confidence. We believe there is tremendous value in St. Joe, but it will have to start making more commercial real estate transactions before that value is likely to be realized.
 
On the positive side, United Continental Holdings (formerly UAL Corp.), CB Richard Ellis Group, Perrigo, and Indian retailer, Pantaloon Retail India were among the strong performing long positions.
 
The decision to own United Continental was based on the assumption that the market was pricing the risk of bankruptcy too high. Following the collapse of oil prices, we began to watch for an uptick in corporate travel, by far the most profitable form of travel. With United Continental leading the industry in capacity reduction and pricing for services once offered for free (baggage fees, as an example), we became not only confident that United Continental would avoid bankruptcy, but would in fact be surprisingly profitable. In fact, United Continental will likely earn this year roughly the amount that it shares were trading for just a year ago. CB Richard Ellis Group (CBG) is another company that was being priced for a high probability of bankruptcy. Though commercial real estate will take a long time to recover, transaction volumes, upon which CBG largely depends, have indeed begun to recover. Often times investors will cast aside entire groups of companies if the industry is unfavorable. We believe this

was the case with CBG, a high quality company serving a difficult industry. Perrigo is the largest over- the-counter (OTC) generic pharmaceutical company (think generic Motrin). Its value proposition for both retailers (better profitability) and consumers (lower price) has contributed to rapid and increasing market share. We expect that to continue.
 
Longtime investors of the Fund know that India has always been an important investment theme. Following a recent trip to India, it remains so. Pantaloon is capitalizing on the enormous opportunity for organized retail and continues to execute very well.
 
On the short side we generated strong returns from for-profit education stocks, Corinthian Colleges and ITT Education Services. Our thesis behind the for-profit education companies was that many of the companies are aggressively recruiting students without providing the education to make the investment worthwhile. The net result is taxpayer subsidized losses, a problem Congress is now carefully scrutinizing. We were also short SolarWorld, a German solar panel manufacturer suffering rapidly declining prices. We also successfully shorted (and remain short) the natural gas ETF, United States Natural Gas Fund, due to our continued belief that the price of natural gas will be flat to down for the foreseeable future.
 
Conclusion
 
We expect the equity markets to remain volatile. While the global economy is slowly recovering from the severe financial crisis of 2007, the root cause of that crisis, excessive leverage, has not fully been addressed. For this reason, we expect that the financial markets could be susceptible to periods of severe underperformance. As for Janus Long/Short Fund, we believe the Fund is well positioned to generate absolute returns, even in a period of sub-par equity market returns.
 
Thank you again for your investment in Janus Long/Short Fund.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Call 877.33JANUS(52687) or visit janus.com/advisor/mutual-funds for performance current to the most recent month-end.
 
Performance shown for Class A Shares at Maximum Offering Price (MOP) includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this charge and would have been lower had this charge been taken into account.
 
Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
For Class I Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares, a 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 90 days or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.

Janus Long/Short Fund (unaudited)

 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses allocated to any class (excluding any distribution and shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012. The contractual waiver may be terminated at any time prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Returns shown include fee waivers, if any, and without such waivers, returns would have been lower.
 
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses include dividends or interest on short sales, which are paid to the lender of borrowed securities. Such expenses will vary depending on whether the securities the Fund sells short pay dividends or interest and the amount of such dividends or interest.
 
The fees and expenses shown for all share classes except Class T Shares were determined based on net assets as of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009. Expense information shown for Class T Shares reflects estimated annualized expenses that the Fund share class expects to incur during the fiscal year. Contractual waivers agreed to by Janus Capital, where applicable, are included under “Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with nondiversification, investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), initial public offerings, derivatives, and short sales. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The Fund invests in REITs, which may be subject to a higher degree of market risk because of concentration in a specific industry, sector or geographic region. REITs may be subject to risks including, but not limited to: legal, political, liquidity, interest rate risks, a decline in the value of real estate, risks related to general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trust and defaults by borrowers. To the extent the Fund invests in foreign REITs, the Fund may be subject to fluctuations in currency rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country.
 
The use of short sales may cause the Fund to have higher expenses than those of other equity funds. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including a greater reliance on the investment team’s ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security. The Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale transaction. The Fund’s use of short sales in effect leverages the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund’s use of leverage may result in risks and can magnify the effect of any losses. There is no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
The Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets. In general, emerging market investments have historically been subject to significant gains and/or losses. As such, the Fund’s returns and NAV may be subject to volatility.
 
Foreign securities have additional risks including exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The prices of foreign securities held by the Fund, and therefore the Fund’s performance, may decline in response to such risks.
 
The Fund held approximately 12.7% of its total investments (long positions) in Indian securities as of September 30, 2010 and the Fund may have experienced significant gains or losses due, in part, to its investments in India. While holdings are subject to change without notice, the Fund’s returns and NAV may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in India.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class I Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009, after the reorganization of each class of Janus Adviser Long/Short Fund (the “JAD predecessor fund”) into corresponding shares of Janus Long/Short Fund. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the historical performance of each corresponding class of the JAD predecessor fund prior to the reorganization, calculated using the fees and expenses of the corresponding class of the JAD predecessor fund respectively, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class T Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009, after the reorganization of the JAD predecessor fund into Janus Long/Short Fund. Performance shown for Class T Shares for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the historical performance of the JAD predecessor fund’s Class I Shares prior to the reorganization, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class T Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class T Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class T Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual

funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.
 
Ranking is for Class I Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.
 
When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.
 
August 3, 2006 is the date used to calculate the since-inception Lipper ranking, which is slightly different from when the Fund began operations since Lipper provides fund rankings as of the last day of the month or the first Thursday after fund inception.
 
There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.
 
See Notes to Schedules of Investments for index definitions.
 
The Fund’s portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the indices. The indices are unmanaged and are not available for direct investment; therefore, their performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Notes to Financial Statements

 
The following section describes the organization and significant accounting policies and provides more detailed information about the schedules and tables that appear throughout this report. In addition, the Notes to Financial Statements explain the methods used in preparing and presenting this report.
 
1.  Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Janus Global Real Estate Fund and Janus Long/Short Fund (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are series funds. The Funds are part of Janus Investment Fund (the “Trust”), which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust offers thirty-eight funds which include multiple series of shares, with differing investment objectives and policies. The Funds invest primarily in equity securities. Each Fund in this report is classified as nondiversified, as defined in the 1940 Act.
 
Each Fund in this report offers multiple classes of shares in order to meet the needs of various types of investors. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain financial intermediaries may not offer all classes of shares.
 
Class A Shares and Class C Shares are generally offered through financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, traditional brokerage platforms, mutual fund wrap fee programs, bank trust platforms, and retirement platforms. The maximum purchase in Class C Shares is $500,000 for any single purchase.
 
Class D Shares are generally no longer being made available to new investors who do not already have a direct account with the Janus funds. The Shares are available only to investors who held accounts directly with the Janus funds as of July 6, 2009 and to immediate family members or members of the same household of an eligible individual investor. The Shares are not offered through financial intermediaries.
 
Class I Shares are available through certain financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, mutual fund wrap fee programs, managed account programs, asset allocation programs, and bank trust platforms, as well as certain retirement platforms. Class I Shares are also available to certain institutional investors including, but not limited to, corporations, certain retirement plans, public plans, and foundations/endowments.
 
Class R Shares are offered through financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, retirement platforms.
 
Class S Shares are offered through financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, retirement platforms and asset allocation, mutual fund wrap, or other discretionary or nondiscretionary fee-based investment advisory programs. In addition, Class S Shares may be available through certain financial intermediaries who have an agreement with Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus Capital”) or its affiliates to offer Class S Shares on their supermarket platforms.
 
Class T Shares are available through certain financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, mutual fund wrap fee programs, managed account programs, asset allocation programs, bank trust platforms, and certain retirement platforms. In addition, Class T Shares may be available through certain financial intermediaries who have an agreement with Janus Capital or its affiliates to offer Class T Shares on their supermarket platforms.
 
The following accounting policies have been followed by the Funds and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America within the investment management industry.
 
Investment Valuation
Securities are valued at the last sales price or the official closing price for securities traded on a principal securities exchange (U.S. or foreign) and on the NASDAQ National Market. Securities traded on over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets and listed securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the latest bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) obtained from one or more dealers transacting in a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Trustees. Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service. The evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service is an evaluation that reflects such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings. Short positions shall be valued in accordance with the same methodologies, except that in the event that a last sale price is not available, the latest ask price shall be used instead of a bid price. Foreign securities and currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate in effect as of the daily close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). When market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, or events or circumstances that may affect the value of portfolio securities held by the Funds are identified between the closing of their principal markets and the time the net asset value (“NAV”) is determined, securities may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the supervision of the Funds’ Trustees. Circumstances in which fair value pricing may be utilized include, but are not

48 | SEPTEMBER 30, 2010


 

 

limited to: (i) a significant event that may affect the securities of a single issuer, such as a merger, bankruptcy, or significant issuer specific development; (ii) an event that may affect an entire market, such as a natural disaster or significant governmental action; (iii) a nonsignificant event such as a market closing early or not opening, or a security trading halt; and (iv) pricing of a non-valued security and a restricted or non-public security. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service to value foreign equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the NYSE. Restricted and illiquid securities are valued in accordance with procedures established by the Funds’ Trustees.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for as of the date purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded as soon as the Trust is informed of the dividend, if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities may be subject to withholding taxes in foreign jurisdictions. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Income, as well as gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of total net assets.
 
Expenses
Each Fund bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf, as well as a portion of general expenses, which may be allocated pro rata to each Fund. Each class of shares bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf and, in addition, each class bears a portion of general expenses, which are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of total net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged against the operations of such class.
 
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Foreign Currency Translations
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held at the date of the financial statements. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and foreign currency translations arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities held at the date of the financial statements, resulting from changes in the exchange rates and changes in market prices of securities held.
 
Currency gains and losses are also calculated on payables and receivables that are denominated in foreign currencies. The payables and receivables are generally related to foreign security transactions and income.
 
Foreign currency-denominated assets and forward currency contracts may involve more risks than domestic transactions, including currency risk, political and economic risk, regulatory risk and equity risk. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Dividend Distributions
The Funds generally declare and distribute dividends of net investment income and realized capital gains (if any) annually. The majority of dividends and capital gains distributions from the Funds may be automatically reinvested into additional shares of that Fund, based on the discretion of the shareholder.
 
The Funds may make certain investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon funds available from operations. It is quite common for these dividends to exceed the REITs’ taxable earnings and profits, resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. If the Funds distribute such amounts, such distributions could constitute a return of capital to shareholders for federal income tax purposes.
 
Federal Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Funds intend to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance, the Funds adopted the provisions of “Income Taxes.” These provisions require an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a Fund’s tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense on the Statements of Operations.
 
These provisions require management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the Statute of Limitations, for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of and during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds have no examinations in progress and are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
 
Restricted Cash
As of September 30, 2010, Janus Long/Short Fund had restricted cash in the amount of $1,309,510. The restricted cash represents collateral received in relation to options contracts invested in by the Funds at September 30, 2010. The restricted cash is held at the Fund’s custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company. The carrying value of the restricted cash approximates fair value.
 
Valuation Inputs Summary
In accordance with FASB guidance, the Funds utilize the “Fair Value Measurements” to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and expand disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The Fair Value Measurement Standard does not require new fair value measurements, but is applied to the extent that other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. This standard emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments defined pursuant to this standard. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
 
Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing a security and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, and others.
 
Debt securities are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service and generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Securities traded on OTC markets and listed securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the latest bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) obtained from one or more dealers transacting in a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Trustees and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Other securities that are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy include, but are not limited to, preferred stocks, bank loans, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), warrants, swaps, investments in mutual funds, OTC options, and forward contracts. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service to value foreign equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the NYSE. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
 
Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing the security and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.

50 | SEPTEMBER 30, 2010


 

 

 
For restricted equity securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used in employing valuation techniques such as the market approach, the income approach, or the cost approach, as defined under the FASB Guidance. These are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
 
There have been no significant changes in valuation techniques used in valuing any such positions held by the Funds since the beginning of the fiscal year.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The summary of inputs used as of September 30, 2010 to value the Funds’ investments in securities and other financial instruments is included in the “Valuation Inputs Summary” and “Level 3 Valuation Reconciliation of Assets” (if applicable) in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.
 
In April 2009, FASB issued “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with Fair Value Measurements when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. Additionally, it amends the Fair Value Measurement Standard by expanding disclosure requirements for reporting entities surrounding the major categories of assets and liabilities carried at fair value. The required disclosures have been incorporated into the “Valuation Inputs Summary” in the Notes to Schedules of Investments. Management believes applying this guidance does not have a material impact on the financial statements.
 
The Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (the “Update”), effective September 30, 2010. This Update applies to a Fund’s disclosures about transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers. Disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for investments that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value hierarchy are summarized under the Level 2 and Level 3 categories listed above. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the period.
 
The Funds recognize transfers between the levels as of the beginning of the fiscal year.
 
2.  Derivative Instruments
 
The Funds may invest in various types of derivatives which may at times result in significant derivative exposure. A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. The Funds may invest in derivative instruments including, but not limited to: futures contracts, put options, call options, options on future contracts, options on foreign currencies, swaps, forward contracts, structured investments, and other equity-linked derivatives. A summary of derivative activity is reflected in the tables at the end of this section.
 
The Funds may use derivative instruments for hedging (to offset risks associated with an investment, currency exposure, or market conditions) or for speculative (to seek to enhance returns) purposes. When the Funds invest in a derivative for speculative purposes, the Funds will be fully exposed to the risks of loss of that derivative, which may sometimes be greater than the cost of the derivative. The Funds may not use any derivative to gain exposure to an asset or class of assets prohibited by their investment restrictions from purchasing directly. The Funds’ ability to use derivative instruments may also be limited by tax considerations.
 
Investments in derivatives are generally subject to equity risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Investments in derivatives may not directly correlate with the price movements of the underlying instrument. As a result, the use of derivatives may expose the Funds to additional risks that they would not be subject to if they invested directly in the securities underlying those derivatives. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than otherwise would be the case. Derivatives can be volatile and may involve significant risks, including, but not limited to, counterparty risk, credit risk, currency risk, equity risk, index risk, interest rate risk, leverage risk, and liquidity risk.
 
Derivatives may generally be traded OTC or on an exchange. Derivatives traded OTC, such as structured notes, are agreements that are individually negotiated between parties and can be tailored to meet a purchaser’s needs. OTC derivatives are not guaranteed by a clearing agency and may be subject to increased credit risk.
 
In an effort to mitigate credit risk associated with derivatives traded OTC, the Funds may enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties whereby, subject to certain minimum exposure requirements, a Fund may require the counterparty to post collateral if the Fund has a net aggregate unrealized gain on all OTC derivative contracts with a particular counterparty. There is no guarantee that counterparty exposure is reduced and these arrangements are dependent on Janus Capital’s

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

ability to establish and maintain appropriate systems and trading.
 
In pursuit of their investment objectives, each Fund may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease exposure to the following market risk factors:
 
  •  Counterparty Risk – Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty or a third party will not fulfill its obligation to a Fund.
 
  •  Credit Risk – Credit risk is the risk an issuer will be unable to make principal and interest payments when due, or will default on its obligations.
 
  •  Currency Risk – Currency risk is the risk that changes in the exchange rate between currencies will adversely affect the value (in U.S. dollar terms) of an investment.
 
  •  Equity Risk – Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
 
  •  Index Risk – If the derivative is linked to the performance of an index, it will be subject to the risks associated with changes in that index. If the index changes, a Fund could receive lower interest payments or experience a reduction in the value of the derivative to below what the Fund paid. Certain indexed securities, including inverse securities (which move in an opposite direction to the index), may create leverage, to the extent that they increase or decrease in value at a rate that is a multiple of the changes in the applicable index.
 
  •  Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of fixed-income securities will generally decline as prevailing interest rates rise, which may cause a Fund’s NAV to likewise decrease, and vice versa.
 
  •  Leverage Risk – Leverage risk is the risk associated with certain types of leveraged investments or trading strategies pursuant to which relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of an investment. A Fund creates leverage by using borrowed capital to increase the amount invested, or investing in instruments, including derivatives, where the investment loss can exceed the original amount invested. Certain investments or trading strategies that involve leverage can result in losses that greatly exceed the amount originally invested.
 
  •  Liquidity Risk – Liquidity risk is the risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time that the seller would like or at the price that the seller believes the security is currently worth.
 
Equity-Linked Structured Notes
The Funds may invest in equity-linked structured notes. Equity-linked structured notes are derivative securities which are specially designed to combine the characteristics of one or more underlying securities and their equity derivatives in a single note form. The return and/or yield or income component may be based on the performance of the underlying equity securities, an equity index, and/or option positions. Equity-linked structured notes are typically offered in limited transactions by financial institutions in either registered or non-registered form. An investment in equity-linked structured notes creates exposure to the credit risk of the issuing financial institution, as well as to the equity risk of the underlying securities. There is no guaranteed return of principal with these securities and the appreciation potential of these securities may be limited by a maximum payment or call right. In certain cases, equity-linked structured notes may be more volatile and less liquid than less complex securities or other types of fixed-income securities. Such securities may exhibit price behavior that does not correlate with other fixed-income securities.
 
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
A forward foreign currency exchange contract (“forward currency contract”) is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. The Funds may enter into forward currency contracts for hedging purposes, including, but not limited to, reducing exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on foreign portfolio holdings and locking in the U.S. dollar cost of firm purchase and sale commitments for securities denominated in or exposed to foreign currencies. The Funds may also invest in forward currency contracts for nonhedging purposes such as seeking to enhance returns. The Funds are subject to currency risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives through their investments in forward currency contracts.
 
The gain or loss arising from the difference between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing a contract is included in “Net realized gain/(loss) from investment and foreign currency transactions” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
Forward currency contracts held by the Funds are fully collateralized by other securities, which are denoted on the accompanying Schedules of Investments (if applicable). The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its market value equals or exceeds the current market value of the

52 | SEPTEMBER 30, 2010


 

 

corresponding forward currency contracts. Such collateral is in the possession of the Funds’ custodian.
 
Futures Contracts
A futures contract is an exchange-traded agreement to take or make delivery of an underlying asset at a specific time in the future for a specific predetermined negotiated price. The Funds may enter into futures contracts to gain exposure to the stock market pending investment of cash balances or to meet liquidity needs. The Funds are subject to interest rate risk, equity risk, and currency risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives through their investments in futures contracts. The Funds may also use such derivative instruments to hedge or protect from adverse movements in securities prices, currency rates or interest rates. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the values of the contracts and the underlying securities, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations.
 
Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, and the daily variation margin is recorded as a receivable or payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities (if applicable). When a contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded as “Net realized gain/(loss) from futures contracts” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable), equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. Generally, futures contracts are marked-to-market (i.e., treated as realized and subject to distribution) for federal income tax purposes at fiscal year-end. Securities held by the Funds that are designated as collateral for market value on futures contracts are noted on the Schedules of Investments (if applicable). Such collateral is in the possession of the Funds’ custodian or with the counterparty broker.
 
With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
 
Options Contracts
An options contract provides the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a financial instrument at an agreed upon price. The Funds may purchase or write covered and uncovered put and call options on futures contracts and on portfolio securities for hedging purposes or as a substitute for an investment. The Funds are subject to interest rate risk, liquidity risk, equity risk, and currency risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives through their investments in options contracts. The Funds may use options contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates, the values of equities, or foreign currencies. The Funds may utilize American-style and European-style options. An American-style option is an option contract that can be exercised at any time between the time of purchase and the option’s expiration date. A European-style option is an option contract that can only be exercised on the option’s expiration date. The Funds may also purchase or write put and call options on foreign currencies in a manner similar to that in which futures or forward contracts on foreign currencies will be utilized. The Funds may also invest in long-term equity anticipation securities, which are long-term option contracts that can be maintained for a period of up to three years. Janus Global Real Estate Fund generally invests in options to hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings.
 
When an option is written, the Funds receive a premium and become obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. In writing an option, the Funds bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Funds could result in the Funds buying or selling a security at a price different from the current market value.
 
When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
 
The Funds may also purchase and write exchange-listed and OTC put and call options on domestic securities indices, and on foreign securities indices listed on domestic and foreign securities exchanges. Options on securities indices are similar to options on securities except that (1) the expiration cycles of securities index options are monthly, while those of securities options are currently quarterly, and (2) the delivery requirements are different. Instead of giving the right to take or make delivery of securities at a specified price, an option on a securities index gives the holder the right to receive a cash “exercise settlement amount” equal to (a) the amount, if any, by which the fixed exercise price of the option exceeds (in the case of a put) or is less than (in the case of a call) the closing value of the underlying index on the date of exercise, multiplied by (b) a fixed “index multiplier.” Receipt of this cash amount will depend upon the closing level of the securities index upon which the option is based being greater than, in the case of a call, or less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the index and the exercise price of the option times a specified multiple. The writer of the option is obligated, in return for the premium received, to make delivery of this amount.

Janus Alternative Funds | 53


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 
Options traded on an exchange are regulated and the terms of the options are standardized. Options traded OTC expose the Funds to counterparty risk in the event that the counterparty does not perform. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Funds’ exposure to the counterparty.
 
Holdings of the Funds designated to cover outstanding written options are noted on the Schedules of Investments (if applicable). Options written are reported as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “Options written at value” (if applicable).
 
Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gain/(loss) from options contracts” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
The following Funds recognized realized gains/(losses) from written options contracts during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 as indicated in the table below:

The risk in writing call options is that the Funds give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the options are exercised. The risk in writing put options is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the options are exercised. The risk in buying options is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the options are exercised. The use of such instruments may involve certain additional risks as a result of unanticipated movements in the market. A lack of correlation between the value of an instrument underlying an option and the asset being hedged, or unexpected adverse price movements, could render the Funds’ hedging strategy unsuccessful. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased or sold. There is no limit to the loss the Funds may recognize due to written call options.

Other Options
In addition to the option strategies described above, the Funds may purchase and sell a variety of options with non-standard payout structures or other features (“exotic options”). Exotic options are traded OTC and typically have price movements that can vary markedly from simple put or call options. The risks associated with exotic options are that they cannot be as easily priced and may be subject to liquidity risk. While some exotic options have fairly active markets, others are mostly thinly traded instruments. Some options are pure two-party transactions and may have no liquidity. The Funds may treat such instruments as illiquid and will limit their investments in such instruments to no more than 15% of a Fund’s net assets, when combined with all other illiquid investments of a Fund. The Funds may use exotic options to the extent that they are consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and investment policies, and applicable regulations.
 
The Funds may purchase and sell exotic options that have values which are determined by the correlation of two or more underlying assets. These types of options include,

but are not limited to, outperformance options, yield curve options or other spread options.
 
Swaps
A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. The Funds may utilize swap agreements as a means to gain exposure to certain common stocks and/or to “hedge” or protect their portfolios from adverse movements in securities prices or interest rates. The Funds are subject to equity risk and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives through investments in swap contracts. Swap agreements entail the risk that a party will default on its payment obligation to a Fund. If the other party to a swap defaults, a Fund would risk the loss of the net amount of the payments that it contractually is entitled to receive. If a Fund utilizes a swap at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, the swap may result in a loss to the Fund and reduce the Fund’s total return. Swap contracts of the Funds are reported as an asset or liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities (if applicable). Realized gains and losses of the Funds are reported in “Net realized gain/(loss) from swap contracts” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
Various types of swaps such as credit default (funded and unfunded), dividend, equity, interest rate, and total return swaps are described below.
 
Credit default swaps are a specific kind of counterparty agreement that allows the transfer of third-party credit risk from one party to the other. The Funds are subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives through their investments in credit default swap contracts. The Funds may enter into credit default swaps to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce their risk exposure to defaults of corporate and sovereign issuers, or to create exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed. With a credit default swap, one party in the swap is a lender and faces credit risk from a third party, and the counterparty in the credit default swap agrees to insure this risk in exchange for regular periodic payments. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as protection sellers or as protection buyers (undiscounted), is the notional value of the agreement. The risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty and by posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Funds to cover the Funds’ exposure to the counterparty.
 
Funded (notional value of contract paid up front) or unfunded (notional value only paid in case of default) credit default swaps are based on an index of credit default swaps (“CDXs”) or other similarly structured products. CDXs are designed to track segments of the credit default swap market and provide investors with exposure to specific reference baskets of issuers of bonds or loans. These instruments have the potential to allow an investor to obtain the same investment exposure as an investor who invests in an individual credit default swap, but with the potential added benefit of diversification. The CDX reference baskets are normally priced daily and rebalanced every six months in conjunction with leading market makers in the credit industry. The liquidity of the market for CDXs is normally subject to liquidity in the secured loan and credit derivatives markets. A fund investing in CDXs is normally only permitted to take long positions in these instruments.
 
Dividend swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive the changes in a dividend index point. The Funds gain exposure by either paying or receiving an amount in respect of an increase or decrease in the change of the relevant dividend index point based on a notional amount. For example, if a Fund took a long position on a dividend index swap, the Fund would receive payments if the relevant index point increased in value and would be obligated to pay if that index point decreased in value.
 
Equity swaps involve the exchange by two parties of future cash flow (e.g., one cash flow based on a referenced interest rate and the other based on the performance of stock or a stock index).
 
Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by two parties of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments).
 
Total return swaps involve an exchange by two parties in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both the income it generates and any capital gains over the payment period.
 
The Funds’ maximum risk of loss for equity swaps, interest rate swaps and total return swaps from counterparty risk or credit risk is the discounted value of the payments to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. The risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral to the Funds to cover the Funds’ exposure to the counterparty.
 
In accordance with FASB guidance, the Funds adopted the provisions for “Derivatives and Hedging,” which require

3.  Other investments and strategies
 
Additional Investment Risk
Unforeseen events in the equity and fixed-income markets may at times result in an unusually high degree of volatility in the markets, both domestic and international. These events and the resulting market upheavals may have an adverse effect on the Funds, such as a decline in the value and liquidity of many securities held by the Funds, unusually high and unanticipated levels of redemptions, an increase in portfolio turnover, a decrease in NAV, and an increase in Fund expenses. Such unforeseen events may make it unusually difficult to identify both investment risks and opportunities and could limit or preclude each Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The market’s behavior may at times be unpredictable. Therefore, it is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, and you could lose money.
 
Bank Loans
Janus Long/Short Fund may invest no more than 5% of the Fund’s net assets in bank loans, which include institutionally traded floating rate securities generally acquired as an assignment from another holder of, or participation interest in, loans originated by a bank or financial institution (the “Lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When investing in a loan participation, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the Lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the Lender of payments from the borrower. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. Assignments and participations involve credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. Interest rates on floating rate securities adjust with general interest rate changes and/or issuer credit quality. The interest rates paid on a floating rate security in which the Fund invests generally are readjusted periodically to an increment over a designated benchmark rate, such as the one-month, three-month, six-month, or one-year London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is a short-term interest rate that banks charge one another and is generally representative of the most competitive and current cash rates.
 
The Fund may have difficulty trading assignments and participations to third parties. There may be restrictions on transfer and only limited opportunities may exist to sell such securities in secondary markets. As a result, the Fund may be unable to sell assignments or participations at the desired time or may be able to sell only at a price less than fair market value. The Fund utilizes an independent third party to value individual bank loans on a daily basis.
 
The average monthly value of borrowings outstanding under bank loan arrangements and the related rate range during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 is indicated in the table below:

Borrowing
Janus Long/Short Fund may borrow money from banks for investment purposes to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. This practice is known as leverage. Currently, under the 1940 Act, the Fund may borrow from banks up to one-third of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) provided that it maintains continuous asset coverage of 300% with respect to such borrowings and sells (within three days) sufficient portfolio holdings to restore such coverage if it should decline to less than 300% due to market fluctuations or otherwise, even if disadvantageous from an investment standpoint. The Fund may also borrow money to meet redemptions in order to avoid forced, unplanned sales of portfolio securities or for other temporary or emergency purposes. This allows the Fund greater flexibility to buy and sell portfolio securities for investment or tax considerations, rather than for cash flow considerations.
 
The use of borrowing by Janus Long/Short Fund involves special risk considerations that may not be associated with other funds that may only borrow for temporary or emergency purposes. Because substantially all of the Fund’s assets fluctuate in value, whereas the interest obligation resulting from a borrowing will be fixed by the terms of the Fund’s agreement with its lender, the NAV per share of the Fund will tend to increase more when its portfolio securities increase in value and decrease more when its portfolio securities decrease in value than would otherwise be the case if the Fund did not borrow funds. In addition, interest costs on borrowings may fluctuate with changing market rates of interest and may partially offset or exceed the return earned on borrowed funds. Under adverse market conditions, the Fund might have to sell portfolio securities to meet interest or principal payments at a time when fundamental investment considerations would not favor such sales. The interest that the Fund must pay on borrowed money, together with any additional fees to maintain a line of credit or any minimum average balances required to be maintained, are additional costs that will reduce or eliminate any net investment income and may also offset any potential capital gains. Unless the appreciation and income, if any, on assets acquired with borrowed funds exceed the costs of borrowing, the use of

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

leverage will diminish the investment performance of the Fund compared with what it would have been without leverage. The Fund was not leveraged at September 30, 2010.
 
Counterparties
Fund transactions involving a counterparty are subject to the risk that the counterparty or a third party will not fulfill its obligation to a Fund (“counterparty risk”). Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition (i.e., financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency), market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether foreseen or not. A counterparty’s inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant financial loss to a Fund. A Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited recovery, and/or recovery may be delayed. The extent of a Fund’s exposure to counterparty risk in respect to financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
A Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk through participation in various programs including, but not limited to, lending its securities to third parties, cash sweep arrangements whereby a Fund’s cash balances are invested in one or more types of cash management vehicles, as well as investments in, but not limited to, repurchase agreements, debt securities, and derivatives, including various types of swaps, futures and options. A Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that Janus Capital believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. There is always the risk that Janus Capital’s analysis of a counterparty’s creditworthiness is incorrect or may change due to market conditions. To the extent that a Fund focuses its transactions with a limited number of counterparties, it will have greater exposure to the risks associated with one or more counterparties.
 
Exchange-Traded Funds
The Funds may invest in exchange-traded funds, which generally are index-based investment companies that hold substantially all of their assets in securities representing their specific index. As a shareholder of another investment company, a Fund would bear its pro rata portion of the other investment company’s expenses, including advisory fees, in addition to the expenses the Fund bears directly in connection with its own operations.
 
Exchange-Traded Notes
The Funds may invest directly in exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), which are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities whose returns are linked to a particular index and provide exposure to the total returns of various market indices, including indices linked to stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies. This type of debt security differs from other types of bonds and notes. ETN returns are based upon the performance of a market index minus applicable fees; no periodic coupon payments are distributed and no principal protections exist. ETNs do not pay cash distributions. Instead, the value of dividends, interest, and investment gains are captured in a Fund’s total return. The Funds will invest in these securities when desiring exposure to debt securities or commodities. When evaluating ETNs for investment, Janus Capital will consider the potential risks involved, expected tax efficiency, rate of return, and credit risk. When the Funds invest in ETNs, they will bear their proportionate share of any fees and expenses borne by the ETN. There may be restrictions on the Funds’ right to redeem their investment in an ETN, which is meant to be held until maturity. The Funds’ decision to sell their ETN holdings may be limited by the availability of a secondary market.
 
Floating Rate Loans
Janus Long/Short Fund may invest in floating rate loans. Floating rate loans are debt securities that have floating interest rates, which adjust periodically, and are tied to a benchmark lending rate, such as LIBOR. In other cases, the lending rate could be tied to the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks or the rate paid on large certificates of deposit traded in the secondary markets. If the benchmark lending rate changes, the rate payable to lenders under the loan will change at the next scheduled adjustment date specified in the loan agreement. Floating rate loans are typically issued to companies (“borrowers”) in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, and refinancings. Floating rate loan investments are generally below investment grade. Senior floating rate loans are secured by specific collateral of a borrower and are senior in the borrower’s capital structure. The senior position in the borrower’s capital structure generally gives holders of senior loans a claim on certain of the borrower’s assets that is senior to subordinated debt and preferred and common stock in the case of a borrower’s default. Floating rate loan investments may involve foreign borrowers, and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. Floating rate loans often involve borrowers whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and companies that are highly leveraged. The Fund may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. Floating rate loans may include fully funded term loans or revolving lines of credit.
 
Initial Public Offerings
The Funds may invest in initial public offerings (“IPOs”). IPOs and other investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on a Fund with a small

58 | SEPTEMBER 30, 2010


 

 

asset base. The Funds may not experience similar performance as their assets grow.
 
Interfund Lending
As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or the 1940 Act and rules promulgated thereunder, the Funds may be party to interfund lending agreements between the Funds and other Janus Capital sponsored mutual funds and certain pooled investment vehicles, which permit them to borrow or lend cash at a rate beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Outstanding borrowings from all sources totaling 10% or more of the borrowing Fund’s total assets must be collateralized at 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan; loans of less than 10% may be unsecured.
 
Mortgage Dollar Rolls
The Funds may enter into “mortgage dollar rolls.” In a “mortgage dollar roll” transaction, the Funds sell a mortgage-related security (such as a Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) security) to a dealer and simultaneously agree to repurchase a similar security (but not the same security) in the future at a predetermined price. The Funds will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments while the dealer holds the security. The difference between the sale price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to investment income.
 
The Funds’ obligations under a dollar roll agreement must be covered by cash, U.S. Government securities or other liquid high-grade debt obligations equal in value to the securities subject to repurchase by the Funds, maintained in a segregated account. To the extent that the Funds collateralize their obligations under a dollar roll agreement, the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act will not apply to such transactions. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, an underlying mortgage-backed security that is part of a dollar roll transaction may be considered illiquid.
 
Successful use of mortgage dollar rolls depends on the portfolio managers’ ability to predict interest rates and mortgage payments. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities the Funds are required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price.
 
Restricted Security Transactions
Restricted securities held by the Funds may not be sold except in exempt transactions or in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The risk of investing in such securities is generally greater than the risk of investing in the securities of widely held, publicly traded companies. Lack of a secondary market and resale restrictions may result in the inability of the Funds to sell a security at a fair price and may substantially delay the sale of the security. In addition, these securities may exhibit greater price volatility than securities for which secondary markets exist.
 
Securities Lending
The Funds may seek to earn additional income through lending their securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions on a short-term or long-term basis. Under procedures adopted by the Trustees, the Funds may seek to earn additional income by lending securities to qualified parties (typically brokers or other financial institutions) who need to borrow securities in order to complete certain transactions such as covering short sales, avoiding failures to deliver securities or completing arbitrage activities. There is the risk of delay in recovering a loaned security or the risk of loss in collateral rights if the borrower fails financially. Janus Capital makes efforts to balance the benefits and risks from granting such loans.
 
The Funds do not have the right to vote on securities while they are being lent; however, the Funds may attempt to call back the loan and vote the proxy if time permits. All loans will be continuously secured by collateral which may consist of cash, U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt, convertible securities, foreign currency and bank letters of credit, or such other collateral permitted by the SEC. Cash collateral may be invested as permitted by the 1940 Act and rules promulgated thereunder. Janus Capital intends to manage the cash collateral in an affiliated cash management vehicle and will receive an investment advisory fee for managing such assets.
 
The value of the collateral must be at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities that are denominated in U.S. dollars and 105% of the market value of the loaned securities that are not denominated in U.S. dollars. Loaned securities and related collateral are marked-to-market each business day based upon the market value of the loaned securities at the close of business, employing the most recent available pricing information. Collateral levels are then adjusted based upon this mark-to-market evaluation.
 
The borrower pays fees at the Funds’ direction to Deutsche Bank AG (the “Lending Agent”). The Lending Agent may retain a portion of the interest earned on the cash collateral invested. The cash collateral invested by the Lending Agent is disclosed on the Schedules of Investments (if applicable). The lending fees and the Funds’ portion of the interest income earned on cash collateral are included on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 
The Funds did not have any securities on loan during the period.
 
Securities Traded on a To-Be-Announced Basis
The Funds may trade securities on a to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA transaction, the Funds commit to purchasing or selling securities for which specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date in Ginnie Mae, Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and/or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“ Freddie Mac”) transactions.
 
Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Funds, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Funds enter into a TBA transaction, cash, U.S. Government securities or other liquid high-grade debt obligations are segregated in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.
 
Short Sales
The Funds may engage in “short sales against the box.” Short sales against the box involve either selling short a security that the Funds own or selling short a security that the Funds have the right to obtain, for delivery at a specified date in the future. The Funds may enter into short sales against the box to hedge against anticipated declines in the market price of portfolio securities. The Funds do not deliver from their portfolios the securities sold short and do not immediately receive the proceeds of the short sale. The Funds borrow the securities sold short and receive proceeds from the short sale only when they deliver the securities to the lender. If the value of the securities sold short increases prior to the scheduled delivery date, the Funds lose the opportunity to participate in the gain.
 
The Funds may also engage in other short sales. The Funds may engage in short sales when the portfolio managers anticipate that a security’s market purchase price will be less than its borrowing price. To complete the transaction, the Funds must borrow the security to deliver it to the purchaser and buy that same security in the market to return it to the lender. No more than 10% of Janus Global Real Estate Fund’s net assets may be invested in short positions (through short sales of stocks, structured products, futures, swaps, and uncovered written calls). Janus Global Real Estate Fund may engage in short sales “against the box” and options for hedging purposes that are not subject to this 10% limit. Janus Long/Short Fund is not subject to any such limit. Although the potential for gain as a result of a short sale is limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short less the cost of borrowing the security, the potential for loss is theoretically unlimited because there is no limit to the cost of replacing the borrowed security. There is no assurance the Funds will be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price. A gain or a loss will be recognized upon termination of a short sale. Short sales held by the Funds are fully collateralized by restricted cash or other securities, which are denoted on the accompanying Schedules of Investments (if applicable). The Funds are also required to pay the lender of the security any dividends or interest that accrues on a borrowed security during the period of the loan. Depending on the arrangements made with the broker or custodian, a Fund may or may not receive any payments (including interest) on collateral it has deposited with the broker. The Funds pay stock loan fees on assets borrowed from the security broker.
 
The Funds may also enter into short positions through derivative instruments, such as options contracts, futures contracts, and swap agreements, which may expose the Funds to similar risks. To the extent that the Funds enter into short derivative positions, the Funds may be exposed to risks similar to those associated with short sales, including the risk that the Funds’ losses are theoretically unlimited.
 
4.  Investment Advisory Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
Each Fund pays Janus Capital an investment advisory fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly. The following table reflects Janus Global Real Estate Fund’s “base” fee rate prior to any performance adjustment and Janus Long/Short Fund’s contractual investment advisory fee rate (expressed as an annual rate).

For Janus Global Real Estate Fund, the investment advisory fee rate is determined by calculating a base fee and applying a performance adjustment. The base fee rate is the same as the contractual investment advisory fee rate shown in the table above. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the base fee

depending on how well the Fund has performed relative to its benchmark index, as shown below:
 
           
Fund   Benchmark Index    
 
 
Janus Global Real Estate Fund
    FTSE EPRA/NAREIT
Global Index*
   
 
 
 
     
*
  The benchmark index was the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index prior to July 1, 2010.
 
Only the base fee rate applied until December 2008 for Janus Global Real Estate Fund, at which time the calculation of the performance adjustment applied as follows:
 
Investment Advisory Fee = Base Fee Rate +/- Performance Adjustment
 
The investment advisory fee rate paid to Janus Capital by the Fund listed above consists of two components: (1) a base fee calculated by applying the contractual fixed rate of the advisory fee to the Fund’s average daily net assets during the previous month (“Base Fee Rate”), 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 no Performance Adjustment is made until the performance-based fee structure has been in effect for at least 12 months and, accordingly, only the Fund’s Base Fee Rate applies for the initial 12 months. 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 will be equal to the time that has elapsed since the performance-based fee structure took effect. As noted above, any applicable Performance Adjustment began December 2008.
 
No Performance Adjustment is applied unless the difference between the Fund’s investment performance and the cumulative investment record of the Fund’s benchmark index is 0.50% or greater (positive or negative) during the applicable performance measurement period. The Base Fee Rate is subject to an upward or downward performance adjustment for every full 0.50% increment by which the Fund outperforms or underperforms its benchmark index. For Janus Global Real Estate Fund, the Performance Adjustment is made in even increments for every 0.50% difference in the investment performance of the Fund compared to the cumulative investment record of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (for periods prior to July 1, 2010) and the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Index (for periods commencing July 1, 2010). The aggregate of the Fund’s performance versus these two benchmark indices, respectively, is used for purposes of calculating the Performance Adjustment. 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 Rate and the Performance Adjustment, net assets are averaged over different periods (average daily net assets during the previous month for the Base Fee Rate, 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 is included in calculating both the performance of the Fund and the Fund’s benchmark index. The Base Fee Rate is calculated and accrued daily. The Performance Adjustment is calculated monthly in arrears and is accrued throughout the month. The investment fee is paid monthly in arrears. 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 Rate. In such circumstances, Janus Capital would reimburse the Fund.
 
The application of an expense limit, if any, will have a positive effect upon the Fund’s performance and may result in an increase in the Performance Adjustment. It is possible that the cumulative dollar amount of additional compensation ultimately payable to Janus Capital may, under some circumstances, exceed the cumulative dollar amount of management fees waived by Janus Capital.
 
The investment performance of the Fund’s Class A Shares (waiving the upfront sales load) for the performance measurement period is used to calculate the 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 load-waived Class A Shares against the cumulative investment record of the Fund’s benchmark index, Janus Capital applies the same Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) across each other class of shares of the Fund, as applicable.
 
It is not possible to predict the effect of the Performance Adjustment on future overall compensation to Janus Capital since it depends 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.

performance-based fees. The amount shown as advisory fees on the Statements of Operations reflects the Base Fee Rate plus/minus any Performance Adjustment.
 
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the Fund recorded a Performance Adjustment as indicated in the table below:
 
           
Fund   Performance Adjustment    
 
 
Janus Global Real Estate Fund
  $ 13,452    
 
 
 
Janus Services LLC (“Janus Services”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, is the Funds’ transfer agent. In addition, Janus Services provides or arranges for the provision of certain other administrative services including, but not limited to, recordkeeping, accounting, order processing, and other shareholder services for the Funds.
 
Class D Shares pay an annual administrative services fee of 0.12% of net assets. These administrative services fees are paid by the Shares of a Fund for shareholder services provided by Janus Services.
 
Janus Services receives an administrative services fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class R Shares and Class S Shares of the Funds for providing or arranging for the provision of, administrative services including, but not limited to, recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networked accounts, or other shareholder services provided on behalf of investors in Class R Shares and Class S Shares of the Funds, as applicable. Janus Services expects to use a significant portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan service providers, and other financial intermediaries for providing these services.
 
Janus Services receives an administrative services fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class T Shares of the Funds for providing or procuring administrative services to investors in Class T Shares of the Funds. These administrative services fees are paid by Class T Shares of the Funds to Janus Services, which uses some or all of such fees to compensate intermediaries for providing these services to their customers who invest in the Funds. Services provided by these financial intermediaries may include, but are not limited to, recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networked accounts, or other shareholder services provided by intermediaries on behalf of the shareholders of these Funds. Order processing includes the submission of transactions through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) or similar systems, or those processed on a manual basis with Janus. Janus Services or its affiliates may also pay fees for services provided by intermediaries to the extent the fees charged by intermediaries exceed the 0.25% of net assets charged to these Funds.
 
Certain, but not all, intermediaries may charge fees for administrative services, including recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networked accounts, or other shareholder services provided by intermediaries on behalf of the shareholders of the Funds. These administrative fees are paid by the Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares of the Funds to Janus Services, which uses such fees to reimburse intermediaries.
 
Janus Distributors LLC (“Janus Distributors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, is the distributor of the Funds. The Funds have adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan authorizes payments by the Funds at an annual rate, as determined from time to time by the Board of Trustees, of up to 0.25% of the Class A Shares average daily net assets, of up to 1.00% of the Class C Shares average daily net assets, of up to 0.50% of the Class R Shares average daily net assets, and of up to 0.25% of the Class S Shares average daily net assets. Payments under the Plan are not tied exclusively to actual distribution and shareholder service expenses, and the payments may exceed distribution and shareholder service expenses actually incurred by the Funds. If any of a Fund’s actual distribution and shareholder service expenses incurred during a calendar year are less than the payments made during a calendar year, the Fund will be refunded for the difference. Refunds, if any, are included in the “Distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees” in the Statements of Operations.
 
Janus Capital has agreed until at least February 1, 2012 to reimburse the Funds by the amount, if any, that such Fund’s normal operating expenses in any fiscal year, including the investment advisory fee, but excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, if applicable, class-specific distribution and shareholder servicing fees applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares, the administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares, brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes and extraordinary expenses (including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses), exceed the annual rates noted below. If applicable, amounts reimbursed to the Funds by Janus Capital are disclosed as “Excess Expense Reimbursement” on the Statements of Operations.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Plan”) for independent Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Funds. All deferred fees are credited to an account established in the name of the Trustees. The amounts credited to the account then increase or decrease, as the case may be, in accordance with the performance of one or more of the Janus funds that are selected by the Trustees. The account balance continues to fluctuate in accordance with the performance of the selected fund or funds until final payment of all amounts are credited to the account. The fluctuation of the account balance is recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and is shown as of September 30, 2010 on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset, “Non-interested Trustees’ deferred compensation,” and a liability, “Non-interested Trustees’ deferred compensation fees.” Additionally, the recorded unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is included in “Unrealized net appreciation/(depreciation) of investments, foreign currency translations and non-interested Trustees’ deferred compensation” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferred compensation expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 are included in “Non-interested Trustees’ fees and expenses” on the Statements of Operations. Trustees are allowed to change their designation of mutual funds from time to time. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the Deferred Plan. No deferred fees were distributed to any Trustee under the Deferred Plan during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
 
Certain officers of the Funds may also be officers and/or directors of Janus Capital. Such officers receive no compensation from the Funds, except for the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. The Funds reimburse Janus Capital for a portion of the compensation paid to the Chief Compliance Officer and certain compliance staff of the Trust. Total compensation of $429,795 was paid by the Trust during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. Each Fund’s portion is reported as part of “Other Expenses” on the Statements of Operations.
 
Class A Shares include a 5.75% upfront sales charge of the offering price of the Funds. The sales charge is allocated between Janus Distributors and financial intermediaries. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, Janus Distributors retained the following upfront sales charges:

Fund (Class A Shares)   Sales Charge    
 
 
Janus Global Real Estate Fund
  $ 4,841    
Janus Long/Short Fund
    2,300    
 
 
 
A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% will be deducted with respect to Class A Shares purchased without a sales load and redeemed within 12 months of purchase, unless waived, as discussed in the Prospectus. Any applicable CDSC will be 1.00% of the lesser of the original purchase price or the value of the redemption of the Class A Shares redeemed. There were no contingent deferred sales charges paid by redeeming shareholders of Class A Shares during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
 
Class C Shares include a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge paid by redeeming shareholders to Janus Distributors. The contingent deferred sales charge applies to shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The redemption price may differ from the net asset value per share. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, redeeming shareholders of Class C Shares paid the following contingent deferred sales charges:

Janus Global Real Estate Fund
  $ 141    
Janus Long/Short Fund

A 2.00% redemption fee may be imposed on Class D Shares, Class I Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares of the Funds, as applicable, held for 90 days or less. This fee is paid to the Funds rather than Janus Capital, and is designed to deter excessive short-term trading and to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with changes in the Funds’ asset levels and cash flow due to short-term money movements in and out of the Funds. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to Paid-in Capital.
 
Total redemption fees received by the Funds for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 are indicated in the table below:

The Funds’ expenses may be reduced by expense offsets from an unaffiliated custodian and/or transfer agent. Such credits or offsets are included in “Expense and Fee Offset” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable). The transfer agent fee offsets received during the period reduce “Transfer agent fees and expenses” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable). Custodian offsets received reduce “Custodian fees” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable). The Funds could have employed the assets used by the custodian and/or transfer agent to produce income if they had not entered into an expense offset arrangement.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of an SEC exemptive order and the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Funds may participate in an affiliated or non-affiliated cash sweep program. In the cash sweep program, uninvested cash balances of the Funds may be used to purchase shares of affiliated or non-affiliated money market funds or cash management pooled investment vehicles. The Funds are eligible to participate in the cash sweep program (the “Investing Funds”). Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC is an affiliated unregistered cash management pooled investment vehicle that invests primarily in highly-rated short-term fixed-income securities. Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC maintains a NAV of $1.00 per share and distributes income daily in a manner consistent with a registered 2a-7 product. There are no restrictions on the Funds’ ability to withdraw investments from Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC at will, and there are no unfunded capital commitments due from the Funds to Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC. As adviser, Janus Capital has an inherent conflict of interest because of its fiduciary duties to the affiliated cash management pooled investment vehicles and the Investing Funds.
 
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the following Funds recorded distributions from affiliated investment companies as affiliated dividend income, and had the following affiliated purchases and sales:

5.  Federal Income Tax
 
The tax components of capital shown in the table below represent: (1) distribution requirements the Funds must satisfy under the income tax regulations; (2) losses or deductions the Funds may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years; and (3) unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments for federal income tax purposes (reduced by foreign tax liability).
 
Other book to tax differences may consist of deferred compensation, derivatives and foreign currency contract adjustments. The Funds have elected to treat gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts as capital gains and losses, if applicable. Other foreign currency gains and losses on debt instruments are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
The Funds noted below have incurred “Post-October” losses during the period November 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010. These losses will be deferred for tax purposes and recognized during the next fiscal period.

Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are due to differing treatments for items such as net short-term gains, deferral of wash sale losses, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies, net investment losses and capital loss carryovers. Certain permanent differences such as tax returns of capital and net investment losses noted below have been reclassified to paid-in capital.

9.  Pending 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 in several state and federal jurisdictions 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. 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, two of which still remain: (i) claims by a putative class of shareholders of Janus Capital Group Inc. (“JCGI”) asserting claims on behalf of the shareholders against JCGI and Janus Capital (First Derivative Traders et al. v. Janus Capital Group Inc. et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland, MDL 1586, formerly referred to as Wiggins, et al. v. Janus Capital Group, Inc., et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland, Case No. 04-CV-00818); and (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).
 
In the First Derivative Traders case (action (i) above), a Motion to Dismiss was previously granted and the matter was dismissed in May 2007. Plaintiffs appealed that dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (“Fourth Circuit”). In May 2009, the Fourth Circuit reversed the order of dismissal and remanded the case back to the trial court for further proceedings. In June 2010, the United States Supreme Court agreed to review the Fourth Circuit’s decision. As a result of these developments at the Supreme Court, the trial court has stayed all further proceedings until the Supreme Court rules on the matter. In the Steinberg case (action (ii) above), the trial court entered an order on January 20, 2010, granting Janus Capital’s Motion for Summary Judgment and dismissing the remaining claims asserted against the company. However, in February 2010, Plaintiffs appealed the trial court’s decision with the Fourth Circuit.
 
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.
 
10.  New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, “Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements.” This Accounting Standards Update will

Janus Alternative Funds | 69


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 
 
enhance and clarify existing fair value measurement disclosures. The required disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this Accounting Standards Update will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
 
11.  Subsequent Event
 
Effective November 15, 2010, Janus Long/Short Fund changed its investment objective and its principal investment strategies. Janus Long/Short Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation with an emphasis on absolute returns. Under normal circumstances, the Fund generally pursues its investment objective by taking both long and short positions in domestic and foreign equity securities, including those in emerging markets, and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that invest primarily in equity securities. The Fund’s portfolio managers believe that a combination of long and short positions may provide positive returns regardless of market conditions through a complete market cycle and may offer reduced risk. The Fund will generally buy long securities that the portfolio managers believe will go up in price and will sell short ETFs and other equity securities the portfolio managers believe will go down in price. The Fund may, to a lesser degree, also take long and short positions in instruments that provide additional exposure to the equity markets, including options, futures, and other index-based instruments.
 
Management has evaluated whether any other events or transactions occurred subsequent to September 30, 2010 and through the date of issuance of the Funds’ financial statements and determined that there were no other material events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 
 
 
To the Trustees and Shareholders
of Janus Investment Fund:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Janus Global Real Estate Fund and Janus Long/Short (two of the funds constituting Janus Investment Fund, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at September 30, 2010 and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Advisory Agreements During The Period
 
At a meeting of the Trustees held on December 11, 2009, the Trustees, each of whom is an Independent Trustee, meaning he or she is not an “interested person” (as defined by the 1940 Act) of the Trust or Janus Capital and its affiliates, voted unanimously to approve an amended and restated investment advisory agreement between Janus Capital and Janus Global Real Estate Fund (the “Amended Advisory Agreement”), that changed the benchmark index from the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Index, and authorized the submission of the Amended Advisory Agreement to the Fund’s shareholders for approval. Shareholders of the Funds approved the Amended Advisory Agreement at a special meeting of Shareholders held on June 10, 2010. The Amended Advisory Agreement took effect on or about July 1, 2010.
 
In approving the change in the benchmark index for the Fund, the Trustees considered various information provided by Janus Capital, including, among other information: (1) comparative data showing the one-year and since inception performance of the Fund, the Developed Index and the Global Index; (2) a chart that compared the returns of the Developed Index and Global Index from the Fund’s inception through September 30, 2009, which showed that the returns of the Fund have corresponded more closely to those of the Global Index over the period; (3) a chart that compared the performance of the Fund against both the Developed Index and the Global Index for the most recent one-year period, which showed that the two benchmarks have performed differently at times over that period; and (4) the Fund’s past and expected investment in foreign securities.
 
The Trustees also met in executive session with their independent legal counsel to review and discuss the proposed change in the benchmark index, and considered information and analysis provided by the Trustees’ independent fee consultant.
 
In considering whether to approve the Amended Advisory Agreement, the Board of Trustees noted that, except for the change in the benchmark index, the Amended Advisory Agreement was substantially similar to the current Investment Advisory Agreement, which was most recently approved by them at a meeting held on December 11, 2009, and the Board took note of their findings with respect to that approval. The Board took into account the services provided by Janus Capital in its capacity as investment adviser to the Fund and concluded that the services provided were acceptable.
 
Based on its consideration of all information it deemed relevant, the Board of Trustees concluded that the Global Index, which includes exposure to emerging markets, is a more appropriate benchmark index for evaluating the Fund’s performance.

Explanations of Charts, Tables and
Financial Statements (unaudited)

 
 
 
1.  Performance Overviews
 
Performance overview graphs compare the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each Fund (from inception) with one or more widely used market indices. The hypothetical example does not represent the returns of any particular investment.
 
When comparing the performance of a Fund with an index, keep in mind that market indices do not include brokerage commissions that would be incurred if you purchased the individual securities in the index. They also do not include taxes payable on dividends and interest or operating expenses incurred if you maintained a Fund invested in the index.
 
Average annual total returns are also quoted for each Fund. Average annual total return is calculated by taking the growth or decline in value of an investment over a period of time, including reinvestment of dividends and distributions, then calculating the annual compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same result had the rate of growth been constant throughout the period. Average annual total return does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
 
Pursuant to federal securities rules, expense ratios shown in the performance chart reflect subsidized and unsubsidized ratios for the past fiscal year. The total annual fund operating expenses ratio is gross of any fee waivers, reflecting a Fund’s unsubsidized expense ratio. The net annual fund operating expenses ratio (if applicable) includes contractual waivers of Janus Capital and/or Janus Services and reflects a Fund’s subsidized expense ratio. Both the total annual fund operating expenses ratio and net annual fund operating expenses ratio are estimated for the fiscal year. The ratios also include expenses indirectly incurred by a Fund as a result of investing in other investment companies or pooled investments, which are not reflected in the “Financial Highlights” of this report. As a result, these ratios may be higher or lower than those shown in the “Financial Highlights” in this report. 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
2.  Schedules of Investments
 
Following the performance overview section is each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. This schedule reports the industry concentrations and types of securities held in each Fund on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are usually listed by type (common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. Government obligations, etc.) and by industry classification (banking, communications, insurance, etc.). Holdings are subject to change without notice.
 
The value of each security is quoted as of the last day of the reporting period. The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies is converted into U.S. dollars.
 
If a Fund invests in foreign securities, it will also provide a summary of investments by country. This summary reports each Fund’s exposure to different countries by providing the percentage of securities invested in each country. The country of each security represents the country in which the company is incorporated. Each Fund’s Schedule of Investments relies upon the industry group and country classifications published by Bloomberg L.P.
 
2a. Forward Currency Contracts
 
A table listing forward currency contracts follows each Fund’s Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Forward currency contracts are agreements to deliver or receive a preset amount of currency at a future date. Forward currency contracts are used to hedge against foreign currency risk in the Funds’ long-term holdings.
 
The table provides the name of the foreign currency, the settlement date of the contract, the amount of the contract, the value of the currency in U.S. dollars and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the change in currency exchange rates from the time the contract was opened to the last day of the reporting period.
 
2b. Futures
 
A table listing futures contracts follows each Fund’s Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Futures contracts are contracts that obligate the buyer to receive and the seller to deliver an instrument or money at a specified price on a specified date. Futures are used to hedge against adverse movements in securities prices, currency risk or interest rates.
 
The table provides the name of the contract, number of contracts held, the expiration date, the principal amount, value and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the marked-to-market amount for the last day of the reporting period.
 
2c. Options
 
A table listing written options contracts follows each Fund’s Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Written options contracts are contracts that obligate a Fund to sell or purchase an underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. Options are used to hedge against

Janus Alternative Funds | 73


 

 
Explanations of Charts, Tables and
Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 
 
adverse movements in securities prices, currency risk or interest rates.
 
The table provides the name of the contract, number of contracts held, the expiration date, exercise price, value and premiums received.
 
3.  Statements of Assets and Liabilities
 
These statements are often referred to as the “balance sheets.” It lists the assets and liabilities of the Funds on the last day of the reporting period.
 
The Funds’ assets are calculated by adding the value of the securities owned, the receivable for securities sold but not yet settled, the receivable for dividends declared but not yet received on stocks owned and the receivable for Fund shares sold to investors but not yet settled. The Funds’ liabilities include payables for securities purchased but not yet settled, Fund shares redeemed but not yet paid and expenses owed but not yet paid. Additionally, there may be other assets and liabilities such as unrealized gain or loss on forward currency contracts.
 
The section entitled “Net Assets Consist of” breaks down the components of the Funds’ net assets. Because the Funds must distribute substantially all earnings, you will notice that a significant portion of net assets is shareholder capital.
 
The last section of this statement reports the net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the Funds’ net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding.
 
4.  Statements of Operations
 
These statements detail the Funds’ income, expenses, gains and losses on securities and currency transactions, and appreciation or depreciation of current Fund holdings.
 
The first section in this statement, entitled “Investment Income,” reports the dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the Funds.
 
The next section reports the expenses incurred by the Funds, including the advisory fee paid to the investment adviser, transfer agent fees and expenses, and printing and postage for mailing statements, financial reports and prospectuses. Expense offsets and expense reimbursements, if any, are also shown.
 
The last section lists the increase or decrease in the value of securities held in the Funds. The Funds will realize a gain (or loss) when they sell their position in a particular security. An unrealized gain (or loss) refers to the change in net appreciation or depreciation of the Funds during the reporting period. “Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) on Investments” is affected both by changes in the market value of Fund holdings and by gains (or losses) realized during the reporting period.
 
5.  Statements of Changes in Net Assets
 
These statements report the increase or decrease in the Funds’ net assets during the reporting period. Changes in the Funds’ net assets are attributable to investment operations, dividends, distributions and capital share transactions. This is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the Funds’ net asset size to change during the period.
 
The first section summarizes the information from the Statements of Operations regarding changes in net assets due to the Funds’ investment performance. The Funds’ net assets may also change as a result of dividend and capital gains distributions to investors. If investors receive their dividends in cash, money is taken out of the Funds to pay the distribution. If investors reinvest their dividends, the Funds’ net assets will not be affected. If you compare each Fund’s “Net Decrease from Dividends and Distributions” to the “Reinvested dividends and distributions,” you will notice that dividend distributions had little effect on each Fund’s net assets. This is because the majority of Janus investors reinvest their distributions.
 
The reinvestment of dividends is included under “Capital Share Transactions.” “Capital Shares” refers to the money investors contribute to the Funds through purchases or withdrawals via redemptions. “Redemption Fees” (if applicable) refers to the fee paid to the Funds for shares held for 90 days or less by a shareholder. The Funds’ net assets will increase and decrease in value as investors purchase and redeem shares from the Funds.
 
6.  Financial Highlights
 
This schedule provides a per-share breakdown of the components that affect each Fund’s NAV for current and past reporting periods. Not only does this table provide you with total return, it also reports total distributions, asset size, expense ratios and portfolio turnover rate.
 
The first line in the table reflects the NAV per share at the beginning of the reporting period. The next line reports the net investment income per share, which comprises dividends and interest income earned on securities held by the Funds. Following is the total of gains/(losses), realized and unrealized. Dividends and distributions are then subtracted to arrive at the NAV per share at the end of the period. The next line reflects the average annual total return reported the last day of the period. The total

74 | SEPTEMBER 30, 2010


 

 

 
 
return may include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, the total return may differ from the total return reflected for shareholder transactions.
 
Also included are the expense ratios, or the percentage of average net assets that were used to cover operating expenses during the period. Expense ratios vary across the Funds within the Trust for a number of reasons, including the differences in management fees, the frequency of dividend payments and the extent of foreign investments, which entail greater transaction costs.
 
The Funds’ expenses may be reduced through expense-reduction arrangements. These arrangements may include the use of balance credits or transfer agent fee offsets. The Statements of Operations reflect total expenses before any such offset, the amount of the offset and the net expenses. The expense ratios listed in the Financial Highlights reflect total expenses prior to any expense offset (gross expense ratio) and after the expense offsets (net expense ratio). Both expense ratios reflect expenses after waivers (reimbursements), if applicable.
 
The ratio of net investment income/(loss) summarizes the income earned less expenses, divided by the average net assets of a Fund during the reporting period. Don’t confuse this ratio with a Fund’s yield. The net investment income ratio is not a true measure of a Fund’s yield because it doesn’t take into account the dividends distributed to the Fund’s investors.
 
The next figure is the portfolio turnover rate, which measures the buying and selling activity in a Fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the asset size of a Fund, the nature of the Fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager. A 100% rate implies that an amount equal to the value of the entire portfolio is turned over in a year; a 50% rate means that an amount equal to the value of half the portfolio is traded in a year; and a 200% rate means that an amount equal to the value of the portfolio is traded every six months.

Janus provides access to a wide range of investment disciplines.
 
Alternative
Janus alternative funds seek to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle with lower correlation to equity markets than traditional investments.
 
Asset Allocation
Janus’ asset allocation funds utilize our fundamental, bottom-up research to balance risk over the long term. From fund options that meet investors’ risk tolerance and objectives to a method that incorporates non-traditional investment choices to seek non-correlated sources of risk and return, Janus’ asset allocation funds aim to allocate risk more effectively.
 
Core
Janus core funds seek investments in more stable and predictable companies. These funds look for a strategic combination of steady growth and for certain funds, some degree of income.
 
Fixed Income
Janus bond funds attempt to provide less risk relative to equities while seeking to deliver a competitive total return through high current income and appreciation. Janus money market funds seek capital preservation and liquidity with current income as a secondary objective.
 
Global & International
Janus global and international funds seek to leverage Janus’ research capabilities by taking advantage of inefficiencies in foreign markets, where accurate information and analytical insight are often at a premium.
 
Growth
Janus growth funds focus on companies believed to be the leaders in their respective industries, with solid management teams, expanding market share, margins and efficiencies.
 
Risk Managed
Our risk-managed funds seek to outperform their respective indices while maintaining a risk profile equal to or lower than the index itself. Managed by INTECH (a Janus subsidiary), these funds use a mathematical process in an attempt to build a more “efficient” portfolio than the index.
 
Value
Janus value funds invest in companies they believe are poised for a turnaround or are trading at a significant discount to fair value. The goal is to gain unique insight into a company’s true value and identify and evaluate potential catalysts that may unlock shareholder value.

Co-Chief Investment Officers’ Market Perspective (unaudited)

Co-Chief Investment Officer

Co-Chief Investment Officer
 

 
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for investing in Janus. As we write this letter at the close of the third quarter, the stock market has just posted its best September since 1939. Skeptics who think the economy is heading for a double-dip recession may call it a case of irrational exuberance. But we think that these “double dippers” underestimated the resiliency of corporate America. U.S. economic growth of around 2% over the next 15 months would not be terrific, but it doesn’t point to a collapsing economy. U.S. corporate profits and finances are in remarkably good shape, bolstered by unprecedented cost cuts, rising cash flows and balance sheets that are much healthier than a few years ago.
 
Of course, we understand that economic challenges remain. While the U.S. recession officially ended in June 2009, it hasn’t felt that way for millions of Americans. Nearly 15 million people remain out of work, and the economy isn’t generating enough jobs to significantly slash the unemployment rate. The new health care law, changes in tax policy and financial regulations are all weighing heavily on corporate confidence. The modest recoveries in retail sales and the housing market, meanwhile, leave economic growth below where it was a few years ago.
 
Despite these headwinds, we see opportunities in individual securities, and we’re confident that evaluating companies on their fundamentals is the way to prevail in this uncertain era. For investors with a long horizon, we suggest taking a balanced approach, holding a range of equities and fixed-income assets for the best potential risk-adjusted returns. Patience isn’t easy, but it can be rewarding.
 
Equities Have Room to Run
 
Even after the recent rally, stock valuations are compelling. Many large-cap U.S. stocks are trading at price-earnings multiples that are below average, especially when considered in the context of today’s low interest rates. Free cash flows are rising, indicating that companies are finding ways to grow in this environment. And dividends are back in vogue. More than 175 companies in the S&P 500® Index have initiated or raised dividends this year while only three have lowered or eliminated distributions. We believe that dividends are likely to provide a meaningful portion of the total expected returns from equities in the future and we like the financial discipline they impose upon corporate managers.
 
Foreign markets are providing significant new growth areas too. Rising household incomes in China, Eastern Europe and Latin America are boosting demand for imported goods. China may be putting the brakes on its economy, but its gross domestic product still soared 9.6% late in the period. In Europe, Germany continues to surprise on the upside, with the manufacturing and services purchasing indexes rising in October ahead of consensus forecasts.
 
Granted, high unemployment and a weak housing market are hindering a broad recovery. But stocks may not need a raging economy to move higher at this stage. Non-financial U.S. firms are sitting on more than $1.8 trillion in cash – money that may accelerate dividends, share buybacks, acquisitions or business investment, fueling higher stock prices. Consumer spending appears resilient for “affordable luxury” goods. And we’re seeing merger-and-acquisition activity pick up, a sign of improving investor sentiment. We can’t say when, but we believe the markets will eventually start to appreciate the value of fundamentally solid firms.
 
Finding Values in Bonds
 
Flows into fixed-income funds have surged by over $220 billion this year through September, prompting media buzz of a “bond bubble,” particularly at the short end of the Treasury curve, where yields have been flattening and are near record lows. Certain areas of the market have lost some luster in our view. However, we disagree with the notion of an across-the-board bond bubble. Low inflation data is supportive of current yields. And we continue to see value in investment grade and high-yield corporate credits, along with some foreign corporate bonds. High-yield bonds may also continue to benefit from investor demand for income in this low-rate climate.
 
Naturally, we’re always on the lookout for changes in expectations for inflation. Recent data points have been

Continued

disinflationary, and we expect inflation to trend between 1.0-1.5% over the next 12 months. But we remain concerned that inflation could ramp up quickly as the economy returns to a more normal footing, eventually leading to rate hikes and price pressure across the yield curve.
 
We’re closely monitoring the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) actions too. The Fed’s program to buy $600 billion in Treasuries (on top of existing asset purchases) is likely to stimulate the economy on the margin and be an uplifting force for “risk assets” like stocks and high-yield bonds. Yet pumping $110 billion a month into the system – essentially by printing money – comes with a tremendous amount of skepticism. The Fed runs the very real risk of creating new asset bubbles, sparking runaway inflation and further devaluing the dollar. It’s a risk we’re monitoring closely.
 
Looking Ahead
 
For investors, one issue now is whether to buy stocks and bonds through a passively managed index strategy or go with an active approach. Buying an index fund may certainly look appealing from a risk perspective. But the major indexes may prove to be a poor tool for risk management and preservation of capital, saddling investors with large stakes in companies that may have deteriorating fundamentals. This approach may be risky in such an uncertain and volatile climate, and some of the best opportunities may not be the companies that dominate an index. More than ever, we believe it’s critical to dig deep and evaluate companies on their fundamentals – cash flows, balance sheets, capital structures and credit strategies – in order to determine potential returns. In our view, it’s the only way to discover companies that will ultimately reward you, our shareholders.
 
Thanks again for your trust and confidence in Janus.
 
Sincerely,

Please consider the charges, risks, expenses and investment objectives carefully before investing. For a prospectus containing this and other information, please call Janus at 877.33JANUS (52687) or download the file from janus.com/info. Read it carefully before you invest or send money.
 
U.S. Treasury securities are direct debt obligations issued by the U.S. Government. With government bonds, the investor is a creditor of the government. Treasury Bills and U.S. Government Bonds are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, are generally considered to be free of credit risk and typically carry lower yields than other securities. Bonds in a portfolio are typically intended to provide income and/or diversification. In general, the bond market is volatile. Bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.

Useful Information About Your Fund Report (unaudited)

 
Management Commentaries
 
The Management Commentaries in this report include valuable insight from each of the Funds’ managers as well as statistical information to help you understand how your Fund’s performance and characteristics stack up against those of comparable indices.
 
If a Fund invests in foreign securities, this report may include information about country exposure. Country exposure is based primarily on the country of domicile. However, the Funds’ managers may allocate a company to a country based on other factors such as location of the company’s principal office, the location of the principal trading market for the company’s securities, or the country where a majority of the company’s revenues are derived.
 
Please keep in mind that the opinions expressed by the Funds’ managers in the Management Commentaries are just that: opinions. They are a reflection of the managers’ best judgment at the time this report was compiled, which was September 30, 2010. As the investing environment changes, so could the managers’ opinions. These views are unique to each manager and aren’t necessarily shared by fellow employees or by Janus in general.
 
Fund Expenses
 
We believe it’s important for our shareholders to have a clear understanding of Fund expenses and the impact they have on investment return.
 
The following is important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears in each Fund’s Management Commentary within this Annual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for each Fund.
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (applicable to Class A Shares only); redemption fees, where applicable (and any related exchange fees); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares only); administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares only); administrative fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class I Shares only); and other Fund expenses. The example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The example is based upon an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six-month period from April 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010.
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line of the table in each example provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table in each example provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based upon each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus Capital”) has contractually agreed to waive each Fund’s total operating expenses, excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, if applicable, class-specific distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares only), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares only), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes and extraordinary expenses, including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses, to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012. Expenses in the examples reflect application of these waivers. Had the waivers not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher. More information regarding the waivers is available in the Funds’ prospectuses.

| SEPTEMBER 30, 2010


 

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees (where applicable) and any related exchange fees. These fees are fully described in the prospectus. Therefore, the second line of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fund Snapshot
We take a global approach to identify high quality or improving businesses in the life sciences sector trading at a discount to our estimate of intrinsic value. We believe the rapidly growing global health-care sector offers fertile opportunities for differentiated research. We believe what sets us apart is the quality of our team, the depth of our research and our commitment to delivering superior long-term results for our clients.

Performance Overview
 
Janus Global Life Sciences Fund’s Class T Shares outperformed the Fund’s primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, rising 12.65% versus the Index’s 12.25% gain during the eleven-month period ended September 30, 2010. The Fund also significantly outperformed the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Health Care Index, the Fund’s secondary benchmark, which rose 7.96% during the period.
 
Sector Overview
 
The MSCI World Health Care Index significantly lagged the recovery of the MSCI World Index during the eleven-month period. Some of the headwinds facing the sector include uncertainty on pending U.S. healthcare reform implementation and the drag of austerity measures in Europe (which resulted in higher than normal drug price cuts in the region). The U.S. has also been weighed down by lower utilization rates, as consumers cut back on discretionary health-care spending (e.g., doctor visits, prescription filling) amid still high unemployment levels, higher copays and the expiration of extended insurance (COBRA) benefits.
 
Despite their relative weakness, health-care stocks received a boost late in the period from increased merger and acquisition activity, as evidenced by the Sanofi-Aventis bid for Genzyme, one of the few remaining large cap biotechnology companies and one of our top holdings. Another important announcement was Pfizer’s acquisition of King Pharmaceuticals, a specialty pharmaceutical company with a strong pain franchise. We think this “bolt on” merger trend will continue, as large pharmaceutical companies seek to bolster their pipelines and supplement growth with new products and complementary franchise.
 
Investment Strategy
 
The Fund seeks to uncover opportunities that span the life sciences spectrum, including stocks in the biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, health care services, and medical technology arenas. Our bottom-up fundamental approach utilizes extensive proprietary research in an effort to discover the best investment ideas across the globe.
 
Portfolio Composition
 
The Fund includes companies that can be categorized into three conceptual groups: core growth, emerging growth and opportunistic investments. In general, about half of the portfolio is invested in core growth holdings (companies with dominant franchises that generate strong, consistent free cash flow). Emerging growth companies (those with new products that we believe can drive earnings acceleration) represent 20-30% of the portfolio. The remaining weighting consists of opportunistic investments, exemplified by companies suffering from what we feel are short-term issues that should resolve over time.
 
Stocks That Aided Returns
 
Many of the Fund’s top contributors were concentrated in the biotechnology sector and fit into one of our key themes: investing in companies addressing high unmet medical needs. Examples include Human Genome Sciences (potential to launch the first new therapy for Lupus in over 50 years) and Dendreon (launching Provenge for prostate cancer, the first cancer therapy to directly harness the immune system to fight cancer cells). In the device area, HeartWare International has developed the HVAD, a potential best in class artificial heart pump for the treatment of severe heart failure. We believe this product could significantly improve survival rates versus standard drug therapy alone while also enhancing quality of life.
 
As mentioned previously, Genzyme received a take-out offer from Sanofi-Aventis. The bid verified our thesis that the company has valuable assets with several enzyme replacement therapies that are crucial for survival. We also believe Genzyme has resolved most of the manufacturing problems, which hampered the company in 2009, allowing for a near-term return to growth.

Stocks That Weighed on Returns
 
Several of our detractors failed to meet revenue or earnings expectations. Gilead Sciences suffered a larger than expected hit from U.S. health-care reform and European austerity measures. Athenahealth suffered from weak utilization trends (due largely to the economy and high unemployment) which weighed on near-term revenues. AMAG Pharmaceuticals sold off due to a weaker than expected launch for FeraHeme, weighed down by reimbursement changes in the dialysis setting and lingering safety concerns.
 
On the regulatory front, biotechnology holding XenoPort, Inc. declined significantly after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) delayed approval of its restless leg syndrome drug due to concerns about animal toxicity. Roche Pharmaceuticals, Inc. suffered from a variety of pipeline setbacks, most notably, disappointing clinical data for Taspoglutide for diabetes.
 
Risk Management
 
The Fund continues with its “value at risk” approach as part of a comprehensive risk management framework. This approach focuses our attention on downside risks, especially those arising from binary events (such as clinical trial announcements or regulatory decisions) that can lead to significant share price volatility. In practice, this means we limit the position size of any one holding so that, in a worst-case scenario, the estimated adverse impact from a particular event should not exceed 1% of the Fund’s performance. The Fund may also utilize options and futures contracts in an attempt to mitigate risks and enhance the performance of the portfolio.* (Please see “Notes to Financial Statements” for information about the hedging techniques used by the Fund.)
 
Looking Ahead
 
We continue to view valuations as extremely attractive throughout the healthcare sector. After underperforming for 6 of the last 7 years, health care stocks are trading at historically wide discounts to the rest of the market. In a world with low interest rates, pharmaceutical dividend yields are near 15-year highs.
 
While we recognize the near term challenges for the sector, we continue to find a range of attractive opportunities and believe the slower growth this year should lead to easier revenue growth comparables next year. We believe the long-term drivers of healthcare spending remain intact, including aging populations, rising life expectancies, and higher standards of living globally. We continue to favor companies addressing high unmet medical needs or helping to control rising healthcare costs.
 
Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Global Life Sciences Fund.

Performance shown for Class A Shares at Maximum Offering Price (MOP) includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this charge and would have been lower had this charge been taken into account.
 
Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
For Class D Shares, Class I Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares, a 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 90 days or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.
 
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses include dividends or interest on short sales, which are paid to the lender of borrowed securities. Such expenses will vary depending on whether the securities the Fund sells short pay dividends or interest and the amount of such dividends or interest.
 
Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), derivatives, and short sales. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
Foreign securities have additional risks including exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The prices of foreign securities held by the Fund, and therefore the Fund’s performance, may decline in response to such risks.
 
This Fund invests in certain industry groups, which may react similarly to market developments (resulting in greater price volatility), and may have significant exposure to foreign markets (which include risks such as currency fluctuation and political uncertainty).
 
The Fund invests in REITs, which may be subject to a higher degree of market risk because of concentration in a specific industry, sector or geographic region. REITs may be subject to risks including, but not limited to: legal, political, liquidity, interest rate risks, a decline in the value of real estate, risks related to general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trust and defaults by borrowers. To the extent the Fund invests in foreign REITs, the Fund may be subject to fluctuations in currency rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
The use of short sales may cause the Fund to have higher expenses than those of other equity funds. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including a greater reliance on the investment team’s ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security. The Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale transaction. The Fund’s use of short sales in effect leverages the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund’s use of leverage may result in risks and can magnify the effect of any losses. There is no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Net dividends reinvested are the dividends that remain to be reinvested after foreign tax obligations have been met. Such obligations vary from country to country.
 
The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets, measured at the time of purchase, in the type of securities described by its name.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Global Life Sciences Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Global Life Sciences Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different.

Janus Global Research Fund (unaudited)

             

Fund Snapshot
Our analyst-driven, team-refined investment process attempts to capture the value of our research and manage investment risk. We believe that a portfolio reflecting our team’s best ideas can deliver superior risk-adjusted results.
          Team-Based Approach
Led by Jim Goff,
Director of Research

 
Performance Overview
 
For the eleven-month period ended September 30, 2010, Janus Global Research Fund’s Class T Shares returned 18.67%, as compared to a 11.21% return for its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Growth Index. We are pleased with our performance during the period.
 
Economic Overview
 
Despite the weak economy, we have found corporate margins, earnings and free cash flow were strong. Corporate cash levels were at a 50-year high, but, investment as a share of gross domestic product was at a 50-year low. With some signs of policy certainty and more confidence, we believe the economy could strengthen. One plausible scenario we see is that corporations increase employment, wages, and capital spending while mergers, stock buybacks and dividends rise, fueled by low rates from the bond market. With an improving corporate sector, we think consumer confidence should improve, resulting in higher spending. Ultimately, this scenario should benefit the stock market. We think the starting point is good, as the market has focused on the uncertainty of the situation and priced in a lot of bad news. Valuation and history have been on the stock market’s side. There appear to be modest expectations, and the gap between earnings yields and Treasury yields is as high as it has been in 30 years. Stocks have tended to do well after extended periods of poor performance. Historically, after a significant up move in the stock market, flows into equities improved.
 
Sector Views
 
Based on our seven research sectors within the MSCI World Growth Index, industrials had the strongest relative performance followed by consumer. Our bottom-up approach puts us in touch with thousands of companies and industry participants, and we use those conversations, surveys and other research tools to gain a broader outlook on sectors.
 
Communications
 
The strength of the advertising recovery surprised the market, although our surveys and research had anticipated much of this improvement. As advertisers returned to the task of brand building, they shifted spending to the successful combination of television and Internet. As the line between these medium further blurs, we expect the demand for traditional media content to grow. On the distribution side, mobile data usage accelerated, driven by the increased penetration of smartphones and other new devices. Tower companies benefited because mobile operators must add network capacity to their networks.
 
Consumer
 
We saw strength in both high-end retailers and low-end retailers, but there was weakness in the middle. High unemployment pushed middle-market shoppers toward the low-end retailers. Sales were heavily event- or holiday-driven with consumers showing little resistance to paying full price for discretionary items. This explained good back-to-school numbers and we believe was a sign that consumers will be out shopping for the holidays. In Europe, demand was largely resilient and stable, despite the feared impact from sovereign debt volatility and austerity plans. Emerging market demand also remained strong but we are watchful of inflation in those markets.
 
Energy
 
We remained bullish long-term on oil prices, but cautious on some near-term areas. Near-term concerns include i) below normal global economic growth, ii) high levels of inventory and iii) spare productive capacity. Global political uncertainty may support oil prices but given inventory levels, we likely need global demand to pick up for prices to strengthen. Longer term, we believe that as the global economy normalizes, oil demand will indeed pick up and sop up these excesses. The well documented woes of the natural-gas market continued. Economic weakness depressed demand while new technology unlocked large volume growth potential.

Financials
 
The passage of U.S. financial reform and reduced uncertainty about global capital standards under the Basel 3 guidelines provided some regulatory clarity, but the economic uncertainty continued to weigh on the sector. Financials struggled to show significant profit growth in the face of modest loan demand, and a historically low and flattening yield curve. On the positive side, credit quality continued to improve, and merger and acquisition activity increased. We also saw greater strength in Europe than many thought possible during the most concerning days of the sovereign debt crisis this spring.
 
Health Care
 
Generally speaking, health care stocks were cheap and unloved by investors. After terrible performance over the summer due to fears about health care utilization and more broadly about a double-dip recession, it felt as if investors became more comfortable about the outlook. Some of the lower utilization reduction stemmed from fewer cases of H1N1, from plan changes, and from the expiration of extended insurance coverage, or COBRA, for those who lost jobs. Some of these issues should be mitigated as we get into 2011. Still, we were not convinced these factors explained the full story. Some of the issues, such as low employment, increased cost shifting to patients and overall economic conditions may linger.
 
Industrials
 
The industrial data late in the period was positive and the probability of a double-dip recession declined. All regions of the world experienced positive growth. Even in Europe, despite austerity programs. Export-driven Germany more than offset the weakness of the much smaller markets of Italy and Greece. The ongoing recovery benefited the industrials sector and its cyclical exposure. Even the worst hit end-market, construction, appeared to have bottomed. Existing home sales and construction in the U.S. remained depressed, but showed early signs of a recovery.
 
Technology
 
Long-term, the key theme in technology remained the cautious information technology (IT) spending by corporations and longer term trends favoring those companies that can earn a larger share of the money spent on new technology. This caution seemed more acute in Europe than in the U.S. Shorter term, however, an important theme was what we call “tablet mania.” The sweeping success of the iPad has broad implications for the sector beyond just for Apple Inc. The iPad will likely have the most successful first year in terms of adoption of any product. This success and likely appearance of competent competitors puts long-term pressure on the traditional infrastructure of Windows-based PCs and the components suppliers to this area; while opening up opportunities for those companies that are able to address this growing market.
 
Holdings Overview
 
Our relative outperformance during the period was largest in the technology, industrial and financial sectors, although all seven research sectors contributed.
 
Within technology, ARM Holdings PLC was a top contributor. The U.K.-based semiconductor intellectual property licensing company has experienced increasing royalty revenues from the growth in smart phones, which routinely use ARM-based chips.
 
Apple, Inc. also moved steadily higher during the period. The computer and mobile device maker has continued to demonstrate sales strength in its international markets and market share gains in all of its product segments.
 
Aggreko PLC moved sharply higher during the period. We feel the U.K. provider of temporary power solutions will benefit from power shortages in emerging markets, particularly in Africa, which has suffered from significant under-investment in power plants because of high capital costs and risks.
 
Individual detractors included health-care holding, Myriad Genetics, Inc. The molecular diagnostic equipment company’s ability to penetrate ends markets, particularly in obstetrics/gynecology and oncology, was not as strong as we had hoped. In addition, the company’s products were more economically sensitively than we anticipated. We sold the position.
 
Roche Pharmaceuticals, Inc. also weighed on performance. The Switzerland-based company was hit by several drug pipeline setbacks, but we continue to consider it as one of the best positioned pharmaceutical companies with strong long-term prospects.
 
Financial reform weighed on Morgan Stanley’s shares. The financial holding company continued to repair its balance sheet from the financial crisis and demonstrated good growth in both capital and underwriting in its investment banking business. We believe Morgan Stanley will continue to gain market share and that management is focused on capital allocation and unlocking value across its businesses.

Conclusion
 
We are committed to the success of Janus Global Research Fund – as managers and as investors. Janus analysts and I have substantial funds in Janus’ U.S. and global research portfolios. We believe this alignment with our shareholders is a good reminder of our commitment to our process. We have a top-notch investment team and a disciplined and repeatable investment process that attempts to capture the value of our research in a highly diversified portfolio. We will go through some periods of underperformance, but by staying disciplined, we hope to reward long-term investors with continued strong risk-adjusted returns.
 
Thank you for your investment in Janus Global Research Fund.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Call 877.33JANUS(52687) (or 800.525.3713 if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) or visit janus.com/advisor/mutual-funds (or janus.com/allfunds if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for performance current to the most recent month-end.
 
Performance shown for Class A Shares at Maximum Offering Price (MOP) includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this charge and would have been lower had this charge been taken into account.
 
See important disclosures on the next page.

Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
For Class D Shares, Class I Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares, a 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 90 days or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.
 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses allocated to any class (excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, distribution and shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class S Shares), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012. The contractual waiver may be terminated at any time prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Returns shown include fee waivers, if any, and without such waivers, returns would have been lower.
 
Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. Contractual waivers agreed to by Janus Capital, where applicable, are included under “Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund has a performance-based management fee that adjusts up or down based on the Fund’s performance relative to an approved benchmark index over a performance measurement period.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and derivatives. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The Fund invests in REITs which may be subject to a higher degree of market risk because of concentration in a specific industry, sector or geographic region. REITs may be subject to risks including, but not limited to: legal, political, liquidity, interest rate risks, a decline in the value of real estate, risks related to general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trust and defaults by borrowers. To the extent the Fund invests in foreign REITs, the Fund may be subject to fluctuations in currency rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country.
 
Foreign securities have additional risks including exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The prices of foreign securities held by the Fund, and therefore the Fund’s performance, may decline in response to such risks.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
The Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets. In general, emerging market investments have historically been subject to significant gains and/or losses. As such, the Fund’s returns and NAV may be subject to volatility.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Net dividends reinvested are the dividends that remain to be reinvested after foreign tax obligations have been met. Such obligations vary from country to country.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Global Research Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Global Research Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares, reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations of waivers.

Class I Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class I Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class I Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.
 
February 28, 2005 is the date used to calculate the since-inception Lipper ranking, which is slightly different from when the Fund began operations since Lipper provides fund rankings as of the last day of the month or the first Thursday after fund inception.
 
Ranking is for Class T Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.
 
There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.
 
Janus Global Research Fund compares its performance to the MSCI World Growth Index, and such benchmark index is used to calculate the Fund’s performance-based adjustment to the investment advisory fee for periods after January 1, 2007. Prior to January 1, 2007, the Fund’s benchmark index was the Russell 1000® Growth Index.
 
See Notes to Schedules of Investments for index definitions.
 
The Fund’s portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the indices. The indices are unmanaged and are not available for direct investment; therefore, their performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Janus Global Select Fund (unaudited)

             

Fund Snapshot
We believe that investing in companies that are creating value by generating a positive or improving economic profit margin will allow us to best grow the Fund’s capital over time. We take an opportunistic approach, seeking companies that are mispriced relative to their long term economic profit growth potential, regardless of market capitalization or geography.

Performance Overview
 
For the eleven-month period ended September 30, 2010, Janus Global Select Fund’s Class T Shares returned 21.96% outperforming its primary benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index, which returned 10.12% and outperforming its secondary benchmark, the Russell 3000 Growth Index, which returned 14.86% for the same period.
 
Strategy Overview
 
To begin we’d like to thank our investors for the opportunity to manage your hard earned savings. It is a responsibility we take with grave seriousness and focus. We appreciate your continued trust and commitment to the Fund and its strategy and will continue to scour the globe for what we believe to be the best ideas that can compound value creation for us all over time.
 
We think it is helpful to review the Fund’s strategy before discussing the market’s behavior over the past few months. Simply put, we look to find the most undervalued companies on the planet that are also doing things to create value that aren’t represented in the current stock price. This approach tends to lead us to areas that are seeing heavy selling pressure or are generally out of favor. We believe that a strategy that focuses on exploiting the widest differences between stock prices and their underlying value is the best way to create value and grow our capital over time. We find it challenging to outperform by owning just consistent growers or just the stocks whose names you are likely very familiar with given they are very well picked over (and therefore theoretically correctly priced).
 
The key criteria we use to determine whether and how a company can create value is to focus on return on invested capital (ROIC) and return on equity (ROE). We look to buy businesses that are undervalued relative to the company’s ability to earn returns on its capital that exceed its cost of capital (often referred to as its WACC or weighted average cost of a company’s debt and equity capital). However, it is not just enough to find cheap stocks. We need to find stocks which we believe have the ability to sustain or improve the trajectory of returns on capital over time.

With that as a backdrop, we think the most striking anomaly in the market has been the high level of correlation (all falling or rising similarly) among stocks. This means that the market is not distinguishing between stocks. The last time we saw correlations this high was near the market bottom of 2008. We get excited about times like this because it is generally a good set up for stock pickers. As correlations decline we expect those stocks with the best fundamentals and that are the most highly undervalued to outperform. As a result we have been concentrating the portfolio into these ideas like we did at the end of 2008 and early 2009.
 
Regarding valuation, we prefer to invest in stocks trading below book or below invested capital that we believe fit within our ROIC analysis described earlier. Historically, these types of stocks are some of the best performers. Given the high level of correlation in the market, we have been able to find more stocks than usual that are both trading below book (or invested capital) and ones we believe to have a clear path to improving returns on capital. As a result, the Fund has been adding to those positions, or initiating new positions into those ideas. Conversely, we are selling or trimming stocks that, in our opinion, have expressed themselves and that no longer offer as attractive risk-reward in our view. By trimming more fully valued stocks to reinvest into undervalued stocks, we attempt to keep the overall portfolio at its maximum discount to intrinsic value (the sum of our estimation of what each stock in the portfolio is worth. The Fund’s discount to its intrinsic value is therefore the sum of the current stock values or prices relative to our target prices). This is the overriding discipline used to sell stocks.

Performance Overview
 
Semiconductor maker Atmel Corp. was the Fund’s top contributor with a gain of 113.98%. We invested in Atmel, a long-term holding, based on a restructuring effort to improve profits and market share gains in its core microcontroller markets. The thesis is playing out with a successful restructuring followed by many new design wins in its various end markets one of which is the emerging tablet computing market. Some estimates have the tablet market going from close to zero units at the start of this year to potentially 70 million units next year. This investment is a good example of our research process, which finds businesses that we believe are creating value that is not reflected in the current price. We know this means we could be early into a name, but we are willing to be patient as long as our thesis continues to play out.
 
Wireless tower company Crown Castle International (CCI) Co., another long-term holding, also posted strong returns during the period. We are attracted to the company’s strong barriers to entry and historically stable cash flows inherent in its business model. This stock is a good example of the importance of focusing on fundamentals when other investors are selling with indifference. During 2008, CCI dropped from the mid $40s to below $10 per share on concerns about its leverage. We added to the position during the 80 percent drop based upon our analysis of the stability of its cash flows. The stock moved back to near its all-time highs, as the demand drivers of their business came in better than investors were expecting. On top of this, a new company is potentially raising money to start a new wireless network, which could contribute a new source of growth to CCI. The combination of strong underlying fundamentals with the potential for a major new customer helped drive the stock meaningfully higher.
 
Canadian mining company Ivanhoe Mines, Ltd.’s shares rallied 117.40% during the period. Ivanhoe, which owns gold and copper mines in Mongolia, is a good example of the type of grassroots research that we try to perform on all of our investments. In 2009, a group of us traveled nearly 10,000 miles to the Gobi Desert in Mongolia to perform our own analysis on the site. We hired an external geologist to accompany us to provide his own opinion on the potential size of the deposit. Instead of just listening to what management wanted to tell us about their key mine’s (Oyu Tolgoi) potential, we needed to “kick the tires” ourselves. Our due diligence gave us a high level of confidence in the potential for this deposit and we initiated a position during the middle of 2009. We believe the market is just now coming to appreciate the potential size of the reserve base of this deposit, which has been the key factor driving the stock higher.
 
Individual detractors included financial holding company Morgan Stanley (MS), which underperformed given investor concern over the impact of the recently signed Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation along with the impact that potentially shutting down investment banks’ proprietary trading desks will have on fundamentals. We understand these concerns, but believe them to be more than accounted for in the stock’s below book valuation as of period end. We have long believed that the stock was getting no credit for its investment bank (relative to the value of the wealth management business) and that the changes to the industry going forward will not impact MS’s business model as much as its stock price indicated as of period end. Longer term, we expect the changes to lead to a business that can generate higher returns on capital with less volatility.
 
Research In Motion, Ltd. (RIM), the manufacturer of the popular BlackBerry mobile phones, underperformed due to concerns around rising competitive pressure from both Apple and the broad Android ecosystem. Even though these competitive pressures have not prevented RIM from exceeding investor expectations in recent earnings announcements, the stock underperformed nonetheless. While we believe the stock is attractive from a valuation point of view, we sold the position to reinvest the proceeds into what we consider to be better risk-reward ideas.
 
Banco Santander S.A., a bank based in Spain with operations throughout the world, underperformed given the concerns around its exposure to sovereign debt in Europe. While we see value in the shares given their exposure to growth markets such as Brazil and what we believe to be manageable exposure to the sovereign debt in question, we sold the position in order to reduce the Fund’s exposure to the volatility associated with the European sovereign concerns during the summer. We are finding value in European financials broadly, but chose to use the proceeds of this sale to fund ideas, which offered better risk-rewards in our opinion.
 
Derivatives
 
During the period, the Fund was long and short options on individual stocks and indices. The objectives of the derivative strategies are to generate income for the Fund and to reduce the impact of a downside move in the market. Derivatives added to the Fund’s performance moderately during the period. Please see the Derivative Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for a discussion of derivatives used by the Fund.

Outlook
 
Finally, while we are cognizant of the ongoing volatility in the indicators of economic strength and weakness, we think equities have largely factored this uncertainty into currently cheap prices. If one looks at metrics such as the earnings yield on the S&P 500 Index or the dividend yield on the S&P 500 compared to the 10-year treasury yield, we are at levels not seen since the 1950s. Further, corporations are flush with cash (cash as a percentage of gross domestic product is at a 7-year high). As corporations redeploy this cash into investments that yield more than current money market yields, this should support equity prices. Potential areas of reinvestment could come in the form of increased capital spending, hiring, higher dividends and buybacks or an accelerated pace of acquisitions. All of these outcomes are supportive of equity prices.
 
Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Global Select Fund.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.

Performance shown for Class A Shares at Maximum Offering Price (MOP) includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this charge and would have been lower had this charge been taken into account.

Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses allocated to any class (excluding the distribution and shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012. The contractual waiver may be terminated at any time prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Returns shown include fee waivers, if any, and without such waivers, returns would have been lower.
 
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses include dividends or interest on short sales, which are paid to the lender of borrowed securities. Such expenses will vary depending on whether the securities the Fund sells short pay dividends or interest and the amount of such dividends or interest.
 
Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. Contractual waivers agreed to by Janus Capital, where applicable, are included under “Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with nondiversification, investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, derivatives, and short sales. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
Foreign securities have additional risks including exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The prices of foreign securities held by the Fund, and therefore the Fund’s performance, may decline in response to such risks.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
The use of short sales may cause the Fund to have higher expenses than those of other equity funds. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including a greater reliance on the investment team’s ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security. The Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale transaction. The Fund’s use of short sales in effect leverages the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund’s use of leverage may result in risks and can magnify the effect of any losses. There is no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful.
 
The Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets. In general, emerging market investments have historically been subject to significant gains and/or losses. As such, the Fund’s returns and NAV may be subject to volatility.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Global Select Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Global Select Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class I Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class I Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class I Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.

Fund Snapshot
We seek to identify strong businesses with sustainable competitive advantages and improving returns on capital. We believe what sets us apart is the depth of our research, our willingness to focus our investments where we feel we have a research edge, and our commitment to delivering superior long-term results for our clients.
          (BARNEY WILSON PHOTO)

portfolio manager

 
Performance Overview
 
During the eleven-months ended September 30, 2010, Janus Global Technology Fund’s Class T Shares returned 21.56%. By comparison, the Fund’s primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, returned 12.25% while the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Information Technology Index, returned 9.38%.
 
Sector Overview
 
The MSCI World Information Technology Index modestly outperformed the MSCI World Index during the period. After touching its lowest level since September 2009 in early July, the Index finished the period strongly to return near levels last seen in May. Despite the market downturn in May and June and pullback in August, the year was characterized by an improved environment for technology stocks. Most well-positioned companies have delivered attractive year-over-year revenue and free-cash-flow growth.
 
While the outlook for the overall environment for technology stocks depends on growth in the global economy, we believe that we have identified a number of market share gainers whose stocks we think are likely to perform better than the overall technology sector. In particular, we favor market-share gainers in computer, mobile devices, enterprise software, networking equipment and electronic connectors. We feel there is growing recognition that certain companies are secular winners, namely ARM Holdings PLC and Atmel Corp., which were each over 100% higher during the period. Increased mobility in computing and increased use of the touch interface drove these stocks considerably higher.
 
In addition, we think the success of Apple’s iPad tablet is evidence that the traditional PC supply chain continues to struggle. In our opinion, the success and likely appearance of what we feel are competent competitors should put long-term pressure on the infrastructure of Windows-based PCs and the components suppliers to this area, and opens opportunities for those companies that address this growing market.
 
After months of component shortages, the supply chain is finally catching up to demand. We think we should be back in a normal environment by the end of the year. Inventory levels and pricing continue to look healthy in our opinion; so, we expect an orderly return to equilibrium in the supply chain, even though the consensus view differs. The technology sector dynamics typically favor those companies with the scale and resources to integrate product and offer comprehensive solutions, or to companies with successful niche products. At either end of the spectrum, these companies may have the ability to gain market share in what may turn out to be slow markets.
 
Long-term, a key theme in technology is the cautious IT spending by corporations and longer term trends favoring those companies that can earn a larger share of the money spent on new technology. This caution seemed more acute in Europe than in the U.S. However, we believe valuations in technology as of period end were not demanding, especially among the large capitalization stocks that have compelling market share gains. Several of our key investment themes remain, including smart phones and the proliferation of mobile computing devices; companies that can offer software as a service through the internet; and connectors which are not dazzling tech but can offer a sensible and stable market; and companies with well-protected recurring revenues. Some U.S. component suppliers looked inexpensive to us compared to their Asian competitors, given our view that the supply chain should avoid major price pressure as capacity comes on-line. Some semiconductor stocks also reflected a worse than expected downturn in the pricing cycle as of period end.
 
Contributors to Performance
 
ARM Holdings PLC, the U.K.-based semiconductor intellectual property licensing company, has experienced increasing royalty revenues from the growth in smart

phones and revenue licensing from semiconductor manufacturers. The company’s dominant market share in low-powered, mobile devices gives it a competitive advantage, because it is difficult for clients to change to different providers once a relationship has been established due to the technology challenges involved.
 
Atmel Corp., a semiconductor company, restructured some of its manufacturing facilities, which has resulted in higher profit margins, and it has gained market share with its micro-controller devices in our view. In addition, Atmel’s products enable touch functionality in products like mobile device Android and PC tablets.
 
Apple continued to demonstrate sales strength in its international markets and market share gains in many of its key product segments. We feel the computer and mobile device maker’s growth surge is in the early stages internationally. In addition, it is at the beginning of a major product upgrade that should add to its growth prospects, as the company continues to leverage its vertical integration to innovate its product portfolio. We like the company’s historical durable franchise, long-term growth prospects and demonstrated ability to win in various economic environments.
 
Detractors from Performance
 
Among individual detractors, medical technology company athenahealth, Inc. weighed on performance. We feel the leading software provider for managing physicians’ practices has an attractive growth business in electronic health records and is poised for dramatic growth.
 
Another medical technology holding, Myriad Genetics, was also among key detractors. Myriad is a small-to-mid sized company that provides molecular diagnostics for identifying a variety of diseases, including breast cancer. We believe Myriad is a leading company in gene-based diagnostics that could help in the prevention of various diseases.
 
Internet company Yahoo!, Inc. was also weak during the period. We believe the display advertising market will show attractive growth.
 
Derivatives
 
We initiated positions in futures contracts in order to help mitigate the risks and potentially enhance the performance of the Fund. During the period, these positions in aggregate detracted modestly from performance. (Please see “Notes to Financial Statements” for information about the hedging techniques used by the Fund.)
 
Conclusion
 
We focus on anticipating change, trying to determine which companies are going to win on a multi-year basis in the product marketplace, and on finding companies where we feel the price of the stock is below the value of the cash flows of the company. Our goal is to leverage the strong, independent research foundation of Janus in order to uncover what we believe are the best investment opportunities for our shareholders.
 
Thank you for your investment in Janus Global Technology Fund.

Janus Global Technology Fund (unaudited)

 
Performance shown for Class A Shares at Maximum Offering Price (MOP) includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this charge and would have been lower had this charge been taken into account.
 
Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
For Class D Shares, Class I Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares, a 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 90 days or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.
 
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses include dividends or interest on short sales, which are paid to the lender of borrowed securities. Such expenses will vary depending on whether the securities the Fund sells short pay dividends or interest and the amount of such dividends or interest.
 
Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, derivatives, and short sales. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
Foreign securities have additional risks including exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The prices of foreign securities held by the Fund, and therefore the Fund’s performance, may decline in response to such risks.
 
This Fund may at times have significant exposure to certain industry groups, which may react similarly to market developments (resulting in greater price volatility). The Fund also may have significant exposure to foreign markets (which include risks such as currency fluctuation and political uncertainty).
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
The use of short sales may cause the Fund to have higher expenses than those of other equity funds. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including a greater reliance on the investment team’s ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security. The Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale transaction. The Fund’s use of short sales in effect leverages the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund’s use of leverage may result in risks and can magnify the effect of any losses. There is no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Net dividends reinvested are the dividends that remain to be reinvested after foreign tax obligations have been met. Such obligations vary from country to country.
 
The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets, measured at the time of purchase, in the type of securities described by its name.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Global Technology Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Global Technology Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class I Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class I Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different.

Performance Overview
 
Janus International Equity Fund’s Class I Shares returned 13.21% over the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2010, while its primary benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 3.27% and its secondary benchmark, the MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. Index, returned 8.00% during the period.
 
Portfolio Management Changes
 
During the period, the Fund’s management changed. Co-portfolio managers Julian McManus, Guy Scott and Carmel Wellso began overseeing the Fund on June 3 and replaced Brent Lynn, who had served as interim manager since May 7, when the former manager Laurent Saltiel left the firm for another opportunity.
 
Market Overview
 
After reaching its highest level since September of 2008 in mid-April, the MSCI EAFE Index fell significantly during May. The Index subsequently managed to rebound off its lows to finish with a modest gain for the period. Within the Index, consumer staples, materials and consumer discretionary were the best performing sectors, while financials, utilities and energy lagged. Europe outperformed Asia despite negative returns in Greece, Ireland, Spain, Italy and Portugal. Japan also had negative returns during the period, which dragged the Pacific region lower. Emerging markets, led by India, significantly outperformed developed markets during the period.
 
Strategy Overview
 
Extreme pessimism over sovereign debt led to low valuations in the European financial sector. Support from the governments of the 16 euro nations and the European Central Bank helped re-instill confidence and higher credit ratings, which we felt added a floor in those markets. We viewed the pessimism as over-done and added several what we deem as high-quality European banks. Among our additions was a Spain-based bank, which we considered to have one of the most conservative managements in Europe. The bank has historically generated higher returns on equity than peers, and we like that approximately half of its profits come from fast-growing Latin American countries. Another new name is a U.K. bank, which we believe is over-capitalized.
 
We saw increasing bifurcation between high quality economies such as in France, Germany and Hong Kong and those at at-risk – Greece, Portugal and Ireland. At the margins, we increased our European exposure at the expense of Asia, where we think some country valuations are over-extended. A strengthening yen late in the period also weighed on Japan, which has a high percentage of exporters. We remained underweight in Japan. Brazil’s economy remained strong and one of the drivers of global growth. We continued to look for opportunities to gain exposure to Brazilian companies with strong balance sheets.
 
Our holdings in financials, industrials and consumer staples were the largest contributors to relative performance. Our largest contributor was U.K.-based Aggreko PLC, which rose 123% during the period. The company, which makes and ships large generators that can power sports stadiums, factories or even cities for a short length of time, has benefited from strong demand in emerging markets. Africa, which has suffered from significant under-investment in power plants because of high capital costs and risks, has been among its strongest markets.
 
Chaoda Modern Agriculture, a Hong Kong-based agricultural company that grows and sells crops, breeds and sells livestock, and sells ancillary food products, was also a key contributor. We exited the position, because we felt the stock’s valuation was appropriate.
 
Detractors included our holdings in materials, consumer discretionary and telecommunications. The Fund’s top individual detractor was Man Group, a U.K. investment manager which has suffered from performance issues in its main hedge fund. We felt the fund’s underperformance was likely to continue, so we sold the position.

Singapore-based Raffles Education also declined significantly. We decided to sell the holding based on lack of sufficient visibility into its mainland China investments. U.S.-based Monsanto, a provider of agricultural products for farmers, was also weak after one of the company’s largest products suffered from pricing pressure from Chinese competition that was not anticipated. We also exited this position.
 
Derivatives
 
During the period, we took advantage of what we perceived to be a significant undervaluation of Jupiter Telecommunications, a holding, by selling put options on the stock. We believed that these options either would expire worthless, netting us a profit from the trade, or compel us to buy more shares at a lower price. At the time of the trade, with the stock trading below our estimate of intrinsic value, we were willing to buy additional shares at a lower price. Please see the Derivatives Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for a discussion of the derivatives used by the Fund.
 
Outlook
 
Stock correlations rose significantly during the period, particularly in Europe where sovereign debt concerns weighed similarly on most stocks. As fears ease, we believe correlations will revert back to their mean levels, which will increase the importance of stock selection. We also think concerns over sovereign debt risk are too severe, and we are seeing signs that the probability of a double-dip global recession is coming down. In Europe, interest rates are being kept low to help stimulate growth for the weaker countries, which should benefit Germany where economic growth is accelerating. We remain cautious on Portugal, Ireland and Greece due to weakness in their fiscal conditions and anticipate their sovereign debt spreads will remain high relative to risk-free rates. We also continue to see a strongly developing consumer market in Asia, where we remain invested in attractively valued opportunities.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Call 877.33JANUS(52687) (or 800.525.3713 if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) or visit janus.com/advisor/mutual-funds (or janus.com/allfunds if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for performance current to the most recent month-end.
 
Performance shown for Class A Shares at Maximum Offering Price (MOP) includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this charge and would have been lower had this charge been taken into account.

Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
For Class D Shares, Class I Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares, a 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 90 days or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.
 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses allocated to any class (excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, distribution and shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012. The contractual waiver may be terminated at any time prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Returns shown include fee waivers, if any, and without such waivers, returns would have been lower.
 
The fees and expenses shown for all share classes except Class D Shares and Class T Shares were determined based on net assets as of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009. Expense information shown for Class D Shares and Class T Shares reflects estimated annualized expenses that the Fund share classes expect to incur during the fiscal year. Contractual waivers agreed to by Janus Capital, where applicable, are included under “Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund has a performance-based management fee that adjusts up or down based on the Fund’s performance relative to an approved benchmark index over a performance measurement period.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, and derivatives. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The Fund invests in REITs which may be subject to a higher degree of market risk because of concentration in a specific industry, sector or geographic region. REITs may be subject to risks including, but not limited to: legal, political, liquidity, interest rate risks, a decline in the value of real estate, risks related to general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trust and defaults to borrowers. To the extent the Fund invests in foreign REITs, the Fund may be subject to fluctuations in currency rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
Foreign securities have additional risks including exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The prices of foreign securities held by the Fund, and therefore the Fund’s performance, may decline in response to such risks.
 
The Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets. In general, emerging market investments have historically been subject to significant gains and/or losses. As such, the Fund’s returns and NAV may be subject to volatility.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Net dividends reinvested are the dividends that remain to be reinvested after foreign tax obligations have been met. Such obligations vary from country to country.
 
The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets, measured at the time of purchase, in the type of securities described by its name.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class I Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009, after the reorganization of each class of Janus Adviser International Equity Fund (the “JAD predecessor fund”) into corresponding shares of Janus International Equity Fund. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the historical performance of each corresponding class of the JAD predecessor fund prior to the reorganization, calculated using the fees and expenses of the corresponding class of the JAD predecessor fund respectively, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010. The performance shown for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class I Shares. The performance shown reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.

If Class T Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different.

Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.
 
Ranking is for Class I Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.
 
There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.
 
See Notes to Schedules of Investments for index definitions.
 
The Fund’s portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the indices. The indices are unmanaged and are not available for direct investment; therefore, their performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.
 
November 30, 2006 is the date used to calculate the since-inception Lipper ranking, which is slightly different from when the Fund began operations since Lipper provides fund rankings as of the last day of the month or the first Thursday after fund inception.

During the eleven-month period ended September 30, 2010, Janus Overseas Fund’s Class T Shares returned 23.51%. Its primary benchmark, the MSCI All-Country World ex-U.S. Index returned 8.91%, and its secondary benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 4.58%.
 
Despite continued economic uncertainty and rising concerns about government spending, global markets moved higher during the period. The Fund also rose and outperformed its indices. While I am pleased with the short-term performance of the Fund, I remain focused on long-term investing which I strongly believe is the best way to create long-term value for fund holders. I am confident in our research process and optimistic about the longer term prospects for the companies in the Fund.
 
Economic Update
 
My expectations for reasonably strong global economic growth in 2010 turned out to be overly optimistic. In the second half of 2009, U.S. and European economies were showing signs of a significant rebound, driven by central bank easing, fiscal stimulus, and inventory restocking. Momentum slowed, however, in the spring and summer of 2010, particularly in the U.S. I underestimated the difficulty for the U.S. to generate a sustainable recovery in face of housing market weakness, high unemployment, regulatory uncertainty and limited government capacity to provide additional fiscal stimulus. Although, in recent months, export strength has boosted economic activity in Germany and some Northern European countries, many of the key developed world economies appeared weak and fragile. I believe many businesses still have limited visibility into 2011, and the path back to sustained global economic growth remains uncertain.
 
In contrast to the conditions in developed markets, emerging countries, particularly China, stood out as pillars of strength. Globalization, urbanization, and infrastructure development remained powerful structural drivers of growth in emerging economies. The financial systems in China, India, Brazil, and other key emerging markets generally suffered minimal damage during the 2008 crisis. In addition, China has significant capacity to use fiscal spending to support its economy in the case of another global downturn.
 
Sovereign balance sheets, particularly for European countries, became a focus for the markets. Clearly significant risks exist for Greece and other over-leveraged countries and sovereign financing difficulties could impact global markets. Yet I believe that measures taken by Spain, the U.K. and other key European countries to address government finances are important positive steps that will yield long-term benefits. I believe that sovereign balance sheets will remain a critical issue for markets over the medium-term. The U.S. and Japan eventually will be forced to tackle difficult fiscal questions to stabilize their own government finances.
 
Portfolio Positioning
 
In addition to core holdings in growth-oriented international franchises, the Fund maintained significant positions in a number of “special situations” stocks. During the period, the Fund owned stocks such as airline companies Delta Air Lines, Inc., Continental Airlines, Inc., Deutsche Lufthansa A.G., and British Airways PLC; auto companies Ford Motor Co. and Daimler A.G.; refining companies Valero Energy Corp. and Petroplus Holdings A.G.; and financial companies Bank of America Corp. and Deutsche Bank A.G. In these “special situations” stocks, I believe that the market misunderstands the value of these franchises and that structural changes, such as capacity reductions, will lead to higher than expected medium term profitability even though revenue growth may be limited.
 
Although it is within the guidelines of the Fund, our positions in the U.S. warrant discussion. Janus Overseas Fund is opportunistic and often has had some investments in special situations companies and in the U.S. In the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis and subsequent global economic downturn, I found a much greater number of special situations and many of them

happened to be U.S.-based companies. As a result, I significantly increased our U.S. exposure rose.
 
Emerging market stocks also remain an important part of Janus Overseas Fund. I expect economic growth in China, India, Brazil and other key emerging markets to significantly outpace the U.S. and Western countries for many years. In an environment of rapidly expanding economies, I believe that emerging markets will continue to offer some of the most exciting opportunities for investment in great growth companies.
 
In a difficult market environment with considerable economic uncertainty, I have attempted to maintain a strong valuation discipline. When some of our favorite long-term growth franchises, such as outsourcing logistics company Li & Fung, Ltd. and semiconductor intellectual property company ARM Holdings PLC approached our valuation targets, I cut the positions despite strong business fundamentals and promising long-term prospects. I also try to apply a strong valuation discipline in assessing investments in companies with a high degree of economic cyclicality. I believe that the market fears about the state of the global economy have created the opportunity to buy some economically-sensitive companies at quite attractive valuations.
 
Contributors to Performance
 
On a geographic basis, holdings in the U.S., U.K., and Hong Kong were significant contributors to performance during the period. Holdings in Switzerland, China and South Korea had the largest negative contribution by geography. On a sector basis, our investments in consumer discretionary companies, industrial companies, and technology companies had the greatest positive impact on performance. Investments in energy detracted from performance.
 
Currency added modestly to the Fund’s absolute performance and slightly added to performance relative to its primary benchmark, the MSCI All-Country World ex-U.S. Index. Please see the Derivative Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for a discussion of derivatives used by the Fund.
 
U.K.-based ARM Holdings PLC was the largest contributor to performance during the period. Analyst Garth Yettick’s tremendous multi-year, in-depth research on the company and semiconductor industry gave us the conviction to own a significant position in ARM. Competitive advantages in designing low-power semiconductor processors and widespread acceptance from semiconductor customers positioned the company to grow rapidly during the period across a wide variety of end markets including smartphones, autos and appliances.
 
U.S. auto manufacturer Ford Motor Co. was the second largest contributor to performance and three U.S. airlines – Delta, Continental, and United – were also large contributors to performance during the period. These stocks are examples of the special situations I mentioned earlier. Superb, detailed research by analysts Guy Scott and Dan Porter on Ford and by Guy Scott and analyst Kris Kelley on the airlines convinced us to own large positions in these stocks. Ford’s earlier efforts to restructure its balance sheet, cut fixed costs, and invest in new products transformed the company into a more competitive and profitable manufacturer in our opinion. Prudent balance sheet management, cost cutting, and a strong focus on limiting capacity growth is also transforming profitability at the airlines.
 
Li & Fung, the Fund’s biggest position at the end of the fiscal period, was the third largest contributor to performance. We held a large position in Li & Fung because of analyst Andy Tam’s terrific in-depth research on the company and on the logistics outsourcing industry. Li & Fung’s scale, huge network of supplier relationships, and strong balance sheet have allowed the company to take advantage of significant growth opportunities.
 
Detractors from Performance
 
Switzerland-based refinery company Petroplus was the largest detractor during the period. The stock suffered in an environment of low European refining margins due to the weak European and global economy, significant excess refining capacity and high levels of refined product inventories. Despite a difficult near-term environment, I believe that refining margins will rise over time as demand growth, particularly from Asia, combined with limited refining supply growth brings down excess inventories. I believe Petroplus management is prudently managing the company’s cash flows and the stock is trading at a depressed asset valuation.
 
U.S.-based internet company Yahoo!, Inc. was the second largest detractor during the period. Weighing on the stock were concerns about advertising revenues in a weak economic environment and fears that powerful internet players such as Google and Facebook will erode Yahoo’s competitive position. I believe that Yahoo’s core U.S. business remains intact, that its partnership with Microsoft can yield significant benefits, and that the market is undervaluing its China and Japan investments.
 
Japan-based financial services company Nomura Holdings Inc. was the third largest detractor in the period. A weak

Janus Global & International Funds | 59

Japanese economy and equity market and skepticism about the company’s overseas expansion strategy pressured the stock. Despite a difficult macro environment, I believe that the market valuation does not reflect Nomura’s powerful investment banking and retail financial services franchise in Japan or the potential increase in profitability from a better stock market environment.
 
Investment Strategy and Outlook
 
During good markets but especially during difficult ones, conviction in our investments is critical. My conviction to buy or to hold positions comes from our team’s tremendous, in-depth fundamental research. Janus’ investment team travels millions of miles every year, meeting with companies and their competitors, suppliers and customers. I believe these meetings help us understand our companies better and lay the foundation for high-conviction investments.
 
Despite volatile markets and a relatively bleak near-term picture for the global economy, I remain optimistic about the long-term. I am excited about the prospects for our companies to improve their competitive positions and to grow revenues and profits. I have not changed my investment approach. I believe the best way to generate solid long-term returns is through high-conviction, long-term investments in what I consider are world-class companies with exciting prospects and undeservedly low valuations.
 
Although the performance of the markets and the Fund was positive over the past eleven months, the future performance of the Fund could be considerably worse or perhaps negative. I certainly do not envision another period like the 2008 crisis, but I also recognize the futility of attempting to predict short-term market trends. As a fellow fund holder of Janus Overseas Fund, I share your pain during periods of net asset value (NAV) decline. More importantly, as steward of your money, I take my responsibility very seriously. I recognize that you have entrusted me and Janus with your hard-earned savings. As manager of the Fund, my sole focus is to deliver strong, long-term performance for you. I will perform this job to the best of my ability.
 
Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Overseas Fund.

Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
For Class D Shares, Class I Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares, a 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 90 days or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.
 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses allocated to any class (excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, distribution and shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012. The contractual waiver may be terminated at any time prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Returns shown include fee waivers, if any, and without such waivers, returns would have been lower.
 
Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. Contractual waivers agreed to by Janus Capital, where applicable, are included under “Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund has a performance-based management fee that adjusts up or down based on the Fund’s performance relative to an approved benchmark index over a performance measurement period.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings and derivatives. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
Foreign securities have additional risks including exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The prices of foreign securities held by the Fund, and therefore the Fund’s performance, may decline in response to such risks.
 
Janus Overseas Fund held approximately 11.8% of its investments in Indian securities as of September 30, 2010, and the Fund may have experienced significant gains or losses due, in part, to its investments in India. While holdings are subject to change without notice, the Fund’s returns and NAV may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in India.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Net dividends reinvested are the dividends that remain to be reinvested after foreign tax obligations have been met. Such obligations vary from country to country.
 
The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets, measured at the time of purchase, in the type of securities described by its name.

Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class I Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.

Janus Worldwide Fund (unaudited)

             

Fund Snapshot
The Janus Worldwide Fund invests globally seeking companies that we believe have a sustainable competitive advantage, high or improving returns on capital and long-term growth.

Performance Overview
 
During the eleven-month period ended September 30, 2010, Janus Worldwide Fund’s Class T Shares returned 17.08%. Its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index, returned 8.69%.
 
Despite an environment of continued economic uncertainty and rising concerns about global government finances, global markets rose during the period. The Fund also rose and outperformed its index. While I am pleased with the short-term performance of the Fund, I remain focused on long-term investing, which I strongly believe is the best way to create long-term value for fundholders.
 
Economic Update
 
My expectations for reasonably strong global economic growth in 2010 turned out to be overly optimistic. In the second half of 2009, U.S. and European economies were showing signs of a significant rebound, driven by central bank easing, fiscal stimulus, and inventory restocking. Momentum slowed, however, in the spring and summer of 2010, particularly in the U.S. I underestimated the difficulty for the U.S. to generate a sustainable recovery in face of housing market weakness, high unemployment, regulatory uncertainty, and limited government capacity to provide additional fiscal stimulus. Although, in recent months, export strength has boosted economic activity in Germany and some Northern European countries, many of the key developed world economies appear weak and fragile. I believe many businesses still have limited visibility into 2011, and the path back to sustained global economic growth remains uncertain.
 
In contrast to the conditions in developed markets, emerging countries, particularly China, stood out as pillars of strength. Globalization, urbanization and infrastructure development remain powerful structural drivers of growth in emerging economies. The financial systems in China, India, Brazil and other key emerging markets generally suffered minimal damage during the 2008 crisis. In addition, China has significant capacity to use fiscal spending to support its economy in the case of another global downturn.
 
Sovereign balance sheets, particularly for European countries, became a focus for the markets. Clearly significant risks exist for Greece and other over-leveraged countries and sovereign financing difficulties could impact global markets. Yet I believe that measures taken by Spain, the U.K. and other key European countries to address government finances are important positive steps that will yield long-term benefits. I believe that sovereign balance sheets will remain a critical issue for markets over the medium-term. The U.S. and Japan eventually will be forced to tackle difficult fiscal questions to stabilize their own government finances.
 
Portfolio Positioning
 
I took over as interim manager of Janus Worldwide Fund in May, 2010. I have attempted to manage the Fund using the same general investment philosophy and risk parameters as the previous manager, Laurent Saltiel. In order to emphasize stock selection, broad constraints exist on country and sector exposure. I am focused on making long-term investments in companies with strong competitive advantages, high returns on capital, high cash flow generation and attractive growth opportunities.
 
The Fund has significant holdings in emerging markets, although total emerging market exposure is internally limited to 20 percent of the portfolio. I expect economic growth in China, India, Brazil and other key emerging markets to significantly outpace the U.S. and Western countries for many years. In an environment of rapidly expanding economies, I believe that emerging markets will offer some of the most exciting opportunities for investment in great growth companies.
 
In a difficult market environment with considerable economic uncertainty, I attempted to maintain a strong valuation discipline. I cut or sold positions in the Fund as they approached our valuation targets, even when underlying fundamentals at the companies remained strong. I also sold some of our smaller positions and

reduced the number of holdings in the Fund to focus on our highest conviction ideas.
 
Contributors to Performance
 
In keeping with the Fund’s investment approach, stock selection had a much greater impact on performance than geographic or sector weightings. On a geographic basis, holdings in the U.S., U.K., and China were important contributors to performance during the period. Holdings in Singapore and France had negative contributions. On a sector basis, our investments in industrials companies, energy companies and consumer staples companies were meaningful contributors to performance. Investments in utilities companies, telecom companies, and consumer discretionary companies had only marginal contribution.
 
Please see the Derivative Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for a discussion of derivatives used by the Fund.
 
Aggreko PLC, a U.K. based supplier of temporary power generating units, was the largest contributor to performance during the period. Analyst Andy Tam’s superb in-depth research on the company and the temporary power industry gave us the conviction to own a significant position in Aggreko. By far the largest global supplier of temporary power units, Aggreko was able to take advantage of strong demand to diversify beyond Africa into new markets such as Indonesia and Bangladesh.
 
Canada-based Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, Inc., the world’s largest fertilizer producer, was the second largest contributor to performance during the period. Analyst Matt Hochstetler’s terrific detailed research on the company and the global fertilizer industry convinced us to hold a large position in Potash Corp. The global leader in potash fertilizer, Potash Corp. benefited from a tighter supply and rising emerging market demand for potash and from a takeout offer from Australian mining conglomerate BHP Billiton.
 
U.S. based technology company, Apple, Inc., was the third largest contributor to performance during the period. We held a large position in Apple because of analyst Alan Bezoza’s tremendous in-depth research on the company and on the entire mobile device and personal computer universe. During the period, the iPad, the iPhone and international divisions generated extraordinary sales growth for Apple.
 
Detractors from Performance
 
Singapore-based education company, Raffles Education Corp., Ltd., was the largest detractor during the period. The stock suffered as Chinese government restrictions on college enrollment limited the number of students at Raffles’ China campus. We believe the Raffles campus near Beijing is attractive to students and retains significant growth potential.
 
U.K.-based hedge fund manager Man Group PLC was the second largest detractor during the period. Poor performance from Man Group’s largest fund resulted in a decline in assets and performance fees. I sold the position due to concerns about the company’s growth prospects.
 
U.S.-based education software company Blackboard, Inc. was the third largest detractor during the period. The stock was pressured by concerns about schools’ ability to spend on software in a time of budget shortfalls. We believe that Blackboard’s competitive advantages and leading products in software solutions for education position the company for long-term growth.
 
Investment Strategy and Outlook
 
During good markets but especially during difficult ones, conviction in our investments is critical. My conviction to buy or to hold positions comes from our team’s tremendous, in-depth fundamental research. Janus’ investment team travels millions of miles every year, meeting with companies and their competitors, suppliers and customers. I believe these meetings help us understand our companies better and lay the foundation for high-conviction investments.
 
As interim manager of Janus Worldwide Fund, I am working very closely with the investment team to get what we believe are the best ideas into the portfolio while Janus is undertaking a comprehensive search for a permanent replacement.
 
Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Worldwide Fund.

Performance shown for Class A Shares at Maximum Offering Price (MOP) includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this charge and would have been lower had this charge been taken into account.
 
Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
For Class D Shares, Class I Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares, a 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 90 days or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.
 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses allocated to any class (excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, distribution and shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012. The contractual waiver may be terminated at any time prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Returns shown include fee waivers, if any, and without such waivers, returns would have been lower.
 
Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. Contractual waivers agreed to by Janus Capital, where applicable, are included under “Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund has a performance-based management fee that adjusts up or down based on the Fund’s performance relative to an approved benchmark index over a performance measurement period.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings and derivatives. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
Foreign securities have additional risks including exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The prices of foreign securities held by the Fund, and therefore the Fund’s performance, may decline in response to such risks.
 
The Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets. In general, emerging market investments have historically been subject to significant gains and/or losses. As such, the Fund’s returns and NAV may be subject to volatility.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Net dividends reinvested are the dividends that remain to be reinvested after foreign tax obligations have been met. Such obligations vary from country to country.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Worldwide Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Worldwide Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares, reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class I Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations

or waivers. If Class I Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class I Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.
 
May 16, 1991 is the date used to calculate the since–inception Lipper ranking, which is slightly different from when the Fund began operations since Lipper provides fund rankings as of the last day of the month or the first Thursday after fund inception.
 
Ranking is for Class T Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return or yield, and therefore the ranking for the period.
 
There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

The Fund’s portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the indices. The indices are unmanaged and are not available for direct investment; therefore, their performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Notes to Financial Statements

 
The following section describes the organization and significant accounting policies and provides more detailed information about the schedules and tables that appear throughout this report. In addition, the Notes to Financial Statements explain the methods used in preparing and presenting this report.
 
1.  Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Janus Global Life Sciences Fund, Janus Global Research Fund, Janus Global Select Fund (formerly named Janus Orion Fund), Janus Global Technology Fund, Janus International Equity Fund, Janus Overseas Fund and Janus Worldwide Fund (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are series funds. The Funds are part of Janus Investment Fund (the “Trust”), which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. On November 1, 2009, Janus Global Life Sciences Fund, Janus Global Research Fund, Janus Global Select Fund, Janus Global Technology Fund, Janus Overseas Fund and Janus Worldwide Fund changed their fiscal year end from October 31 to September 30. Accordingly, these financial statements include information for the eleven-month period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. The Trust offers thirty-eight funds which include multiple series of shares, with differing investment objectives and policies. The Funds invest primarily in equity securities. Each Fund in this report is classified as diversified, as defined in the 1940 Act, with the exception of Janus Global Select Fund, which is classified as nondiversified.
 
Each Fund in this report offers multiple classes of shares in order to meet the needs of various types of investors. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain financial intermediaries may not offer all classes of shares.
 
Class A Shares and Class C Shares are generally offered through financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, traditional brokerage platforms, mutual fund wrap fee programs, bank trust platforms, and retirement platforms. The maximum purchase in Class C Shares is $500,000 for any single purchase.
 
Class D Shares are generally no longer being made available to new investors who do not already have a direct account with the Janus funds. The Shares are available only to investors who held accounts directly with the Janus funds as of July 6, 2009 and to immediate family members or members of the same household of an eligible individual investor. The Shares are not offered through financial intermediaries.
 
Class I Shares are available through certain financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, mutual fund wrap fee programs, managed account programs, asset allocation programs, and bank trust platforms, as well as certain retirement platforms. Class I Shares are also available to certain institutional investors including, but not limited to, corporations, certain retirement plans, public plans, and foundations/endowments.
 
Class R Shares are offered through financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, retirement platforms.
 
Class S Shares are offered through financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, retirement platforms and asset allocation, mutual fund wrap, or other discretionary or nondiscretionary fee-based investment advisory programs. In addition, Class S Shares may be available through certain financial intermediaries who have an agreement with Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus Capital”) or its affiliates to offer Class S Shares on their supermarket platforms.
 
Class T Shares are available through certain financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, mutual fund wrap fee programs, managed account programs, asset allocation programs, bank trust platforms, and certain retirement platforms. In addition, Class T Shares may be available through certain financial intermediaries who have an agreement with Janus Capital or its affiliates to offer Class T Shares on their supermarket platforms.
 
The following accounting policies have been followed by the Funds and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America within the investment management industry.
 
Investment Valuation
Securities are valued at the last sales price or the official closing price for securities traded on a principal securities exchange (U.S. or foreign) and on the NASDAQ National Market. Securities traded on over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets and listed securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the latest bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) obtained from one or more dealers transacting in a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Trustees. Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service. The evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service is an evaluation that reflects such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings. Short positions shall be valued in accordance with the same methodologies, except that in the event that a last sale price is not available, the latest ask price

120 | September 30, 2010


 

 

shall be used instead of a bid price. Foreign securities and currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate in effect as of the daily close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). When market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, or events or circumstances that may affect the value of portfolio securities held by the Funds are identified between the closing of their principal markets and the time the net asset value (“NAV”) is determined, securities may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the supervision of the Funds’ Trustees. Circumstances in which fair value pricing may be utilized include, but are not limited to: (i) a significant event that may affect the securities of a single issuer, such as a merger, bankruptcy, or significant issuer specific development; (ii) an event that may affect an entire market, such as a natural disaster or significant governmental action; (iii) a nonsignificant event such as a market closing early or not opening, or a security trading halt; and (iv) pricing of a non-valued security and a restricted or non-public security. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service to value foreign equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the NYSE. Restricted and illiquid securities are valued in accordance with procedures established by the Funds’ Trustees.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for as of the date purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded as soon as the Trust is informed of the dividend, if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities may be subject to withholding taxes in foreign jurisdictions. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Income, as well as gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of total net assets.
 
Expenses
Each Fund bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf, as well as a portion of general expenses, which may be allocated pro rata to each Fund. Each class of shares bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf and, in addition, each class bears a portion of general expenses, which are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of total net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged against the operations of such class.
 
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Foreign Currency Translations
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held at the date of the financial statements. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and foreign currency translations arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities held at the date of the financial statements, resulting from changes in the exchange rates and changes in market prices of securities held.
 
Currency gains and losses are also calculated on payables and receivables that are denominated in foreign currencies. The payables and receivables are generally related to foreign security transactions and income.
 
Foreign currency-denominated assets and forward currency contracts may involve more risks than domestic transactions, including currency risk, political and economic risk, regulatory risk and equity risk. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Dividend Distributions
The Funds generally declare and distribute dividends of net investment income and realized capital gains (if any) annually. The majority of dividends and capital gains distributions from the Funds may be automatically reinvested into additional shares of that Fund, based on the discretion of the shareholder.
 
The Funds may make certain investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon funds available from operations. It is quite common for these dividends to exceed the REITs’ taxable earnings and profits, resulting in the excess

Janus Global & International Funds | 121


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. If the Funds distribute such amounts, such distributions could constitute a return of capital to shareholders for federal income tax purposes.
 
Federal Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Funds intend to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.
 
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance, the Funds adopted the provisions of “Income Taxes.” These provisions require an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a Fund’s tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense on the Statements of Operations.
 
These provisions require management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the Statute of Limitations, for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of and during the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds have no examinations in progress and are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
 
Restricted Cash
As of September 30, 2010, Janus Global Select Fund, Janus Overseas Fund and Janus Worldwide Fund had restricted cash in the amounts of $3,035,729, $17,200,000 and $1,050,000, respectively. The restricted cash represents collateral received in relation to options contracts invested in by the Funds at September 30, 2010. The restricted cash is held at the Fund’s custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company. The carrying value of the restricted cash approximates fair value.
 
Valuation Inputs Summary
In accordance with FASB guidance, the Funds utilize the “Fair Value Measurements” to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and expand disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The Fair Value Measurement Standard does not require new fair value measurements, but is applied to the extent that other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. This standard emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments defined pursuant to this standard. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
 
Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing a security and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, and others.
 
Debt securities are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service and generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Securities traded on OTC markets and listed securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the latest bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) obtained from one or more dealers transacting in a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Trustees and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Other securities that are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy include, but are not limited to, preferred stocks, bank loans, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), warrants, swaps, investments in mutual funds, OTC options, and forward contracts. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service to value foreign equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the NYSE. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
 
Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or

122 | September 30, 2010


 

 

deemed less relevant (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing the security and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
 
For restricted equity securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used in employing valuation techniques such as the market approach, the income approach, or the cost approach, as defined under the FASB Guidance. These are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
 
There have been no significant changes in valuation techniques used in valuing any such positions held by the Funds since the beginning of the fiscal period or fiscal year.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The summary of inputs used as of September 30, 2010 to value the Funds’ investments in securities and other financial instruments is included in the “Valuation Inputs Summary” and “Level 3 Valuation Reconciliation of Assets” (if applicable) in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.
 
In April 2009, FASB issued “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with Fair Value Measurements when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. Additionally, it amends the Fair Value Measurement Standard by expanding disclosure requirements for reporting entities surrounding the major categories of assets and liabilities carried at fair value. The required disclosures have been incorporated into the “Valuation Inputs Summary” in the Notes to Schedules of Investments. Management believes applying this guidance does not have a material impact on the financial statements.
 
The Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (the “Update”), effective September 30, 2010. This Update applies to a Fund’s disclosures about transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers. Disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for investments that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value hierarchy are summarized under the Level 2 and Level 3 categories listed above. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the period.
 
The Funds recognize transfers between the levels as of the beginning of the fiscal period or fiscal year.
 
2.  Derivative Instruments
 
The Funds may invest in various types of derivatives which may at times result in significant derivative exposure. A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. The Funds may invest in derivative instruments including, but not limited to: futures contracts, put options, call options, options on future contracts, options on foreign currencies, swaps, forward contracts, structured investments, and other equity-linked derivatives. A summary of derivative activity is reflected in the tables at the end of this section.
 
The Funds may use derivative instruments for hedging (to offset risks associated with an investment, currency exposure, or market conditions) or for speculative (to seek to enhance returns) purposes. When the Funds invest in a derivative for speculative purposes, the Funds will be fully exposed to the risks of loss of that derivative, which may sometimes be greater than the cost of the derivative. The Funds may not use any derivative to gain exposure to an asset or class of assets prohibited by their investment restrictions from purchasing directly. The Funds’ ability to use derivative instruments may also be limited by tax considerations.
 
Investments in derivatives are generally subject to equity risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Investments in derivatives may not directly correlate with the price movements of the underlying instrument. As a result, the use of derivatives may expose the Funds to additional risks that they would not be subject to if they invested directly in the securities underlying those derivatives. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than otherwise would be the case. Derivatives can be volatile and may involve significant risks, including, but not limited to, counterparty risk, credit risk, currency risk, equity risk, index risk, interest rate risk, leverage risk, and liquidity risk.
 
Derivatives may generally be traded OTC or on an exchange. Derivatives traded OTC, such as structured notes, are agreements that are individually negotiated between parties and can be tailored to meet a purchaser’s needs. OTC derivatives are not guaranteed by a clearing agency and may be subject to increased credit risk.
 
In an effort to mitigate credit risk associated with derivatives traded OTC, the Funds may enter into collateral

Janus Global & International Funds | 123


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

agreements with certain counterparties whereby, subject to certain minimum exposure requirements, a Fund may require the counterparty to post collateral if the Fund has a net aggregate unrealized gain on all OTC derivative contracts with a particular counterparty. There is no guarantee that counterparty exposure is reduced and these arrangements are dependent on Janus Capital’s ability to establish and maintain appropriate systems and trading.
 
In pursuit of their investment objectives, each Fund may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease exposure to the following market risk factors:
 
  •  Counterparty Risk – Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty or a third party will not fulfill its obligation to a Fund.
 
  •  Credit Risk – Credit risk is the risk an issuer will be unable to make principal and interest payments when due, or will default on its obligations.
 
  •  Currency Risk – Currency risk is the risk that changes in the exchange rate between currencies will adversely affect the value (in U.S. dollar terms) of an investment.
 
  •  Equity Risk – Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
 
  •  Index Risk – If the derivative is linked to the performance of an index, it will be subject to the risks associated with changes in that index. If the index changes, a Fund could receive lower interest payments or experience a reduction in the value of the derivative to below what the Fund paid. Certain indexed securities, including inverse securities (which move in an opposite direction to the index), may create leverage, to the extent that they increase or decrease in value at a rate that is a multiple of the changes in the applicable index.
 
  •  Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of fixed-income securities will generally decline as prevailing interest rates rise, which may cause a Fund’s NAV to likewise decrease, and vice versa.
 
  •  Leverage Risk – Leverage risk is the risk associated with certain types of leveraged investments or trading strategies pursuant to which relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of an investment. A Fund creates leverage by using borrowed capital to increase the amount invested, or investing in instruments, including derivatives, where the investment loss can exceed the original amount invested. Certain investments or trading strategies that involve leverage can result in losses that greatly exceed the amount originally invested.
 
  •  Liquidity Risk – Liquidity risk is the risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time that the seller would like or at the price that the seller believes the security is currently worth.
 
Equity-Linked Structured Notes
The Funds may invest in equity-linked structured notes. Equity-linked structured notes are derivative securities which are specially designed to combine the characteristics of one or more underlying securities and their equity derivatives in a single note form. The return and/or yield or income component may be based on the performance of the underlying equity securities, an equity index, and/or option positions. Equity-linked structured notes are typically offered in limited transactions by financial institutions in either registered or non-registered form. An investment in equity-linked structured notes creates exposure to the credit risk of the issuing financial institution, as well as to the equity risk of the underlying securities. There is no guaranteed return of principal with these securities and the appreciation potential of these securities may be limited by a maximum payment or call right. In certain cases, equity-linked structured notes may be more volatile and less liquid than less complex securities or other types of fixed-income securities. Such securities may exhibit price behavior that does not correlate with other fixed-income securities.
 
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
A forward foreign currency exchange contract (“forward currency contract”) is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. The Funds may enter into forward currency contracts for hedging purposes, including, but not limited to, reducing exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on foreign portfolio holdings and locking in the U.S. dollar cost of firm purchase and sale commitments for securities denominated in or exposed to foreign currencies. The Funds may also invest in forward currency contracts for nonhedging purposes such as seeking to enhance returns. The Funds are subject to currency risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives through their investments in forward currency contracts.
 
The gain or loss arising from the difference between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing a contract is included in “Net realized gain/(loss) from investment

124 | September 30, 2010


 

 

and foreign currency transactions” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
Forward currency contracts held by the Funds are fully collateralized by other securities, which are denoted on the accompanying Schedules of Investments (if applicable). The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its market value equals or exceeds the current market value of the corresponding forward currency contracts. Such collateral is in the possession of the Funds’ custodian.
 
Futures Contracts
A futures contract is an exchange-traded agreement to take or make delivery of an underlying asset at a specific time in the future for a specific predetermined negotiated price. The Funds may enter into futures contracts to gain exposure to the stock market pending investment of cash balances or to meet liquidity needs. The Funds are subject to interest rate risk, equity risk, and currency risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives through their investments in futures contracts. The Funds may also use such derivative instruments to hedge or protect from adverse movements in securities prices, currency rates or interest rates. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the values of the contracts and the underlying securities, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations.
 
Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, and the daily variation margin is recorded as a receivable or payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities (if applicable). When a contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded as “Net realized gain/(loss) from futures contracts” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable), equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. Generally, futures contracts are marked-to-market (i.e., treated as realized and subject to distribution) for federal income tax purposes at fiscal year-end. Securities held by the Funds that are designated as collateral for market value on futures contracts are noted on the Schedules of Investments (if applicable). Such collateral is in the possession of the Funds’ custodian or with the counterparty broker.
 
With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
 
Options Contracts
An options contract provides the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a financial instrument at an agreed upon price. The Funds may purchase or write covered and uncovered put and call options on futures contracts and on portfolio securities for hedging purposes or as a substitute for an investment. The Funds are subject to interest rate risk, liquidity risk, equity risk, and currency risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives through their investments in options contracts. The Funds may use options contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates, the values of equities, or foreign currencies. The Funds may utilize American-style and European-style options. An American-style option is an option contract that can be exercised at any time between the time of purchase and the option’s expiration date. A European-style option is an option contract that can only be exercised on the option’s expiration date. The Funds may also purchase or write put and call options on foreign currencies in a manner similar to that in which futures or forward contracts on foreign currencies will be utilized. The Funds may also invest in long-term equity anticipation securities, which are long-term option contracts that can be maintained for a period of up to three years. The Funds generally invest in options to hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings.
 
When an option is written, the Funds receive a premium and become obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. In writing an option, the Funds bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Funds could result in the Funds buying or selling a security at a price different from the current market value.
 
When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
 
The Funds may also purchase and write exchange-listed and OTC put and call options on domestic securities indices, and on foreign securities indices listed on domestic and foreign securities exchanges. Options on securities indices are similar to options on securities except that (1) the expiration cycles of securities index options are monthly, while those of securities options are currently quarterly, and (2) the delivery requirements are different. Instead of giving the right to take or make delivery of securities at a specified price, an option on a securities index gives the holder the right to receive a cash “exercise settlement amount” equal to (a) the amount, if any, by which the fixed exercise price of the option exceeds (in the case of a put) or is less than (in the case of a call) the closing value of the underlying index on the date of exercise, multiplied by (b) a fixed “index multiplier.” Receipt of this cash amount will depend upon the closing level of the securities index upon which

Janus Global & International Funds | 125


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

the option is based being greater than, in the case of a call, or less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the index and the exercise price of the option times a specified multiple. The writer of the option is obligated, in return for the premium received, to make delivery of this amount.
 
Options traded on an exchange are regulated and the terms of the options are standardized. Options traded OTC expose the Funds to counterparty risk in the event that the counterparty does not perform. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Funds’ exposure to the counterparty.
 
Holdings of the Funds designated to cover outstanding written options are noted on the Schedules of Investments (if applicable). Options written are reported as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “Options written at value” (if applicable).
 
Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gain/(loss) from options contracts” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
The following Funds recognized realized gains/(losses) from written options contracts during the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 as indicated in the table below:

The risk in writing call options is that the Funds give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the options are exercised. The risk in writing put options is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the options are exercised. The risk in buying options is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the options are exercised. The use of such instruments may involve certain additional risks as a result of unanticipated movements in the market. A lack of correlation between the value of an instrument underlying an option and the asset being hedged, or unexpected adverse price movements, could render the Funds’ hedging strategy unsuccessful. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased or sold. There is no limit to the loss the Funds may recognize due to written call options.

Other Options
In addition to the option strategies described above, the Funds may purchase and sell a variety of options with non-standard payout structures or other features (“exotic options”). Exotic options are traded OTC and typically have price movements that can vary markedly from simple put or call options. The risks associated with exotic options are that they cannot be as easily priced and may be subject to liquidity risk. While some exotic options have fairly active markets, others are mostly thinly traded instruments. Some options are pure two-party transactions and may have no liquidity. The Funds may treat such instruments as illiquid and will limit their investments in such instruments to no more than 15% of a Fund’s net assets, when combined with all other illiquid investments of a Fund. The Funds may use exotic options to the extent that they are consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and investment policies, and applicable regulations.
 
The Funds may purchase and sell exotic options that have values which are determined by the correlation of two or more underlying assets. These types of options include, but are not limited to, outperformance options, yield curve options or other spread options.
 
Swaps
A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. The Funds may utilize swap agreements as a means to gain exposure to certain common stocks and/or to “hedge” or protect their portfolios from adverse movements in securities prices or interest rates. The Funds are subject to equity risk and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives through investments in swap contracts. Swap agreements entail the risk that a party will default on its payment obligation to a Fund. If the other party to a swap defaults, a Fund would risk the loss of the net amount of the payments that it contractually is entitled to receive. If a Fund utilizes a swap at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, the swap may result in a loss to the Fund and reduce the Fund’s total return. Swap contracts of the Funds are reported as an asset or liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities (if applicable). Realized gains and losses of the Funds are reported in “Net realized gain/(loss) from swap contracts” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
Various types of swaps such as credit default (funded and unfunded), dividend, equity, interest rate, and total return swaps are described below.
 
Credit default swaps are a specific kind of counterparty agreement that allows the transfer of third-party credit risk from one party to the other. The Funds are subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives through their investments in credit default swap contracts. The Funds may enter into credit default swaps to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce their risk exposure to defaults of corporate and sovereign issuers, or to create exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed. With a credit default swap, one party in the swap is a lender and faces credit risk from a third party, and the counterparty in the credit default swap agrees to insure this risk in exchange for regular periodic payments. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as protection sellers or as protection buyers (undiscounted), is the notional value of the agreement. The risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty and by posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Funds to cover the Funds’ exposure to the counterparty.
 
Funded (notional value of contract paid up front) or unfunded (notional value only paid in case of default) credit default swaps are based on an index of credit default swaps (“CDXs”) or other similarly structured products. CDXs are designed to track segments of the credit default swap market and provide investors with exposure to specific reference baskets of issuers of bonds or loans. These instruments have the potential to allow an investor to obtain the same investment exposure as an investor who invests in an individual credit default swap, but with the potential added benefit of diversification. The CDX reference baskets are normally priced daily and rebalanced every six months in conjunction with leading market makers in the credit industry. The liquidity of the market for CDXs is normally subject to liquidity in the secured loan and credit derivatives markets. A fund investing in CDXs is normally only permitted to take long positions in these instruments.
 
Dividend swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive the changes in a dividend index point. The Funds gain exposure by either paying or receiving an amount in respect of an increase or decrease in the change of the

Janus Global & International Funds | 127

relevant dividend index point based on a notional amount. For example, if a Fund took a long position on a dividend index swap, the Fund would receive payments if the relevant index point increased in value and would be obligated to pay if that index point decreased in value.
 
Equity swaps involve the exchange by two parties of future cash flow (e.g., one cash flow based on a referenced interest rate and the other based on the performance of stock or a stock index).
 
Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by two parties of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments).
 
Total return swaps involve an exchange by two parties in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both the income it generates and any capital gains over the payment period.
 
The Funds’ maximum risk of loss for equity swaps, interest rate swaps and total return swaps from counterparty risk or credit risk is the discounted value of the payments to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. The risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral to the Funds to cover the Funds’ exposure to the counterparty.
 
In accordance with FASB guidance, the Funds adopted the provisions for “Derivatives and Hedging,” which require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 
3.  Other investments and strategies
 
Additional Investment Risk
Unforeseen events in the equity and fixed-income markets may at times result in an unusually high degree of volatility in the markets, both domestic and international. These events and the resulting market upheavals may have an adverse effect on the Funds, such as a decline in the value and liquidity of many securities held by the Funds, unusually high and unanticipated levels of redemptions, an increase in portfolio turnover, a decrease in NAV, and an increase in Fund expenses. Such unforeseen events may make it unusually difficult to identify both investment risks and opportunities and could limit or preclude each Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The market’s behavior may at times be unpredictable. Therefore, it is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, and you could lose money.
 
Counterparties
Fund transactions involving a counterparty are subject to the risk that the counterparty or a third party will not fulfill its obligation to a Fund (“counterparty risk”). Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition (i.e., financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency), market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether foreseen or not. A counterparty’s inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant financial loss to a Fund. A Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited recovery, and/or recovery may be delayed. The extent of a Fund’s exposure to counterparty risk in respect to financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
A Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk through participation in various programs including, but not limited to, lending its securities to third parties, cash sweep arrangements whereby a Fund’s cash balances are invested in one or more types of cash management vehicles, as well as investments in, but not limited to, repurchase agreements, debt securities, and derivatives, including various types of swaps, futures and options. A Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that Janus Capital believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. There is always the risk that Janus Capital’s analysis of a counterparty’s creditworthiness is incorrect or may change due to market conditions. To the extent that a Fund focuses its transactions with a limited number of counterparties, it will have greater exposure to the risks associated with one or more counterparties.
 
Exchange-Traded Funds
The Funds may invest in exchange-traded funds, which generally are index-based investment companies that hold substantially all of their assets in securities representing their specific index. As a shareholder of another investment company, a Fund would bear its pro rata portion of the other investment company’s expenses, including advisory fees, in addition to the expenses the Fund bears directly in connection with its own operations.
 
Exchange-Traded Notes
The Funds may invest directly in exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), which are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities whose returns are linked to a particular index and provide exposure to the total returns of various market indices, including indices linked to stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies. This type of debt security differs from other types of bonds and notes. ETN returns are based upon the performance of a market index minus applicable fees; no periodic coupon payments are distributed and no principal protections exist. ETNs do not pay cash distributions. Instead, the value of dividends, interest, and investment gains are captured in a Fund’s total return. The Funds will invest in these securities when desiring exposure to debt securities or commodities. When evaluating ETNs for investment, Janus Capital will consider the potential risks involved, expected tax efficiency, rate of return, and credit risk. When the Funds invest in ETNs, they will bear their proportionate share of any fees and expenses borne by the ETN. There may be restrictions on the Funds’ right to redeem their investment in an ETN, which is meant to be held until maturity. The Funds’ decision to sell their ETN holdings may be limited by the availability of a secondary market.
 
Initial Public Offerings
The Funds may invest in initial public offerings (“IPOs”). IPOs and other investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on a Fund with a small asset base. The Funds may not experience similar performance as their assets grow.
 
Interfund Lending
As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or the 1940 Act and rules promulgated thereunder, the Funds may be party to interfund lending agreements between the Funds and other Janus Capital sponsored mutual funds and certain pooled investment vehicles, which permit them to borrow or lend cash at a rate beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Outstanding borrowings from all sources totaling 10% or more of the borrowing Fund’s total assets must be collateralized at 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan; loans of less than 10% may be unsecured.

132 | September 30, 2010


 

 

 
Restricted Security Transactions
Restricted securities held by the Funds may not be sold except in exempt transactions or in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The risk of investing in such securities is generally greater than the risk of investing in the securities of widely held, publicly traded companies. Lack of a secondary market and resale restrictions may result in the inability of the Funds to sell a security at a fair price and may substantially delay the sale of the security. In addition, these securities may exhibit greater price volatility than securities for which secondary markets exist.
 
Securities Lending
The Funds may seek to earn additional income through lending their securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions on a short-term or long-term basis. Under procedures adopted by the Trustees, the Funds may seek to earn additional income by lending securities to qualified parties (typically brokers or other financial institutions) who need to borrow securities in order to complete certain transactions such as covering short sales, avoiding failures to deliver securities or completing arbitrage activities. There is the risk of delay in recovering a loaned security or the risk of loss in collateral rights if the borrower fails financially. Janus Capital makes efforts to balance the benefits and risks from granting such loans.
 
The Funds do not have the right to vote on securities while they are being lent; however, the Funds may attempt to call back the loan and vote the proxy if time permits. All loans will be continuously secured by collateral which may consist of cash, U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt, convertible securities, foreign currency and bank letters of credit, or such other collateral permitted by the SEC. Cash collateral may be invested as permitted by the 1940 Act and rules promulgated thereunder. Janus Capital intends to manage the cash collateral in an affiliated cash management vehicle and will receive an investment advisory fee for managing such assets.
 
The value of the collateral must be at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities that are denominated in U.S. dollars and 105% of the market value of the loaned securities that are not denominated in U.S. dollars. Loaned securities and related collateral are marked-to-market each business day based upon the market value of the loaned securities at the close of business, employing the most recent available pricing information. Collateral levels are then adjusted based upon this mark-to-market evaluation.
 
The borrower pays fees at the Funds’ direction to Deutsche Bank AG (the “Lending Agent”). The Lending Agent may retain a portion of the interest earned on the cash collateral invested. The cash collateral invested by the Lending Agent is disclosed on the Schedules of Investments (if applicable). The lending fees and the Funds’ portion of the interest income earned on cash collateral are included on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
The Funds did not have any securities on loan during the period.
 
Short Sales
The Funds may engage in “short sales against the box.” Short sales against the box involve either selling short a security that the Funds own or selling short a security that the Funds have the right to obtain, for delivery at a specified date in the future. The Funds may enter into short sales against the box to hedge against anticipated declines in the market price of portfolio securities. The Funds do not deliver from their portfolios the securities sold short and do not immediately receive the proceeds of the short sale. The Funds borrow the securities sold short and receive proceeds from the short sale only when they deliver the securities to the lender. If the value of the securities sold short increases prior to the scheduled delivery date, the Funds lose the opportunity to participate in the gain.
 
The Funds may also engage in other short sales. The Funds may engage in short sales when the portfolio managers and/or investment personnel anticipate that a security’s market purchase price will be less than its borrowing price. To complete the transaction, the Funds must borrow the security to deliver it to the purchaser and buy that same security in the market to return it to the lender. No more than 10% of a Fund’s net assets may be invested in short positions (through short sales of stocks, structured products, futures, swaps, and uncovered written calls). The Funds may engage in short sales “against the box” and options for hedging purposes that are not subject to this 10% limit. Although the potential for gain as a result of a short sale is limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short less the cost of borrowing the security, the potential for loss is theoretically unlimited because there is no limit to the cost of replacing the borrowed security. There is no assurance the Funds will be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price. A gain or a loss will be recognized upon termination of a short sale. Short sales held by the Funds are fully collateralized by restricted cash or other securities, which are denoted on the accompanying Schedules of Investments (if applicable). The Funds are also required to pay the lender of the security any dividends or interest that accrues on a borrowed security during the period of the loan. Depending on the arrangements made with the broker or custodian, a Fund may or may not receive any payments (including interest)

on collateral it has deposited with the broker. The Funds pay stock loan fees on assets borrowed from the security broker.
 
The Funds may also enter into short positions through derivative instruments, such as options contracts, futures contracts, and swap agreements, which may expose the Funds to similar risks. To the extent that the Funds enter into short derivative positions, the Funds may be exposed to risks similar to those associated with short sales, including the risk that the Funds’ losses are theoretically unlimited.
 
4.  Investment Advisory Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
Each Fund pays Janus Capital an investment advisory fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly. The following table reflects certain Funds’ “base” fee rates prior to any performance adjustment and certain Funds’ contractual investment advisory fee rates (expressed as an annual rate).

For Janus Global Research Fund, Janus International Equity Fund, Janus Overseas Fund and Janus Worldwide Fund, the investment advisory fee rate is determined by calculating a base fee and applying a performance adjustment. The base fee rate is the same as the contractual investment advisory fee rate shown in the table above. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the base fee depending on how well each Fund has performed relative to its benchmark index, as shown below:
 
           
Fund   Benchmark Index    
 
 
Janus Global Research Fund
    MSCI World Growth Index    
Janus International Equity Fund
    MSCI EAFE® Index    
Janus Overseas Fund
    MSCI All Country World    
      ex-U.S. IndexSM    
Janus Worldwide Fund
    MSCI World IndexSM    
 
 
 
At the “Special Meeting” of the shareholders of Janus Overseas Fund held on July 14, 2010, shareholders of the Fund approved an amended and restated investment advisory agreement between Janus Investment Fund, on behalf of the Fund, and Janus Capital, changing the Fund’s investment advisory fee structure from an annual fixed rate of 0.64% of average daily net assets to an annual rate of 0.64% that adjusts up or down based upon the performance of the Fund’s Class A Shares (waiving the upfront sales load) relative to the Fund’s benchmark index, the MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. IndexSM.
 
Only the base fee rate applied until January 2007 for Janus Global Research Fund, February 2007 for Janus Worldwide Fund, and December 2007 for Janus International Equity Fund and will apply until November 2011 for Janus Overseas Fund, at which time the calculation of the performance adjustment applies as follows:
 
Investment Advisory Fee = Base Fee Rate +/- Performance Adjustment
 
The investment advisory fee rate paid to Janus Capital by each of the Funds listed above consists of two components: (1) a base fee calculated by applying the contractual fixed rate of the advisory fee to the Fund’s average daily net assets during the previous month (“Base Fee Rate”), 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 no Performance Adjustment is made until the performance-based fee structure has been in effect for at least 12 months (15 months for Janus Overseas Fund) and, accordingly, only the Fund’s Base Fee Rate applies for the initial 12 months (15 months for Janus Overseas Fund). When the performance-based fee structure has been in effect for at least 12 months (15 months for Janus Overseas Fund), but less than 36 months, the performance measurement period will be equal to the time that has elapsed since the performance-based fee structure took effect. As noted above, any applicable Performance Adjustments began January 2007 for Janus Global Research Fund, February 2007 for Janus Worldwide Fund, and December 2007 for Janus International Equity Fund and will apply until November 2011 for Janus Overseas Fund.
 
No Performance Adjustment is applied unless the difference between the Fund’s investment performance and the cumulative investment record of the Fund’s benchmark index is 0.50% or greater (positive or negative) during the applicable performance measurement period. The Base Fee Rate is subject to an upward or downward performance adjustment for every full 0.50% increment by which a Fund outperforms or underperforms its benchmark index. Because the Performance

134 | September 30, 2010


 

 

Adjustment is tied to a 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 Rate and the Performance Adjustment, net assets are averaged over different periods (average daily net assets during the previous month for the Base Fee Rate, versus average daily net assets during the performance measurement period for the Performance Adjustment). Performance of a Fund is calculated net of expenses, whereas a Fund’s benchmark index does not have any fees or expenses. Reinvestment of dividends and distributions is included in calculating both the performance of a Fund and the Fund’s benchmark index. The Base Fee Rate is calculated and accrued daily. The Performance Adjustment is calculated monthly in arrears and is accrued throughout the month. The investment fee is paid monthly in arrears. 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 Rate. In such circumstances, Janus Capital would reimburse the applicable Fund.
 
The application of an expense limit, if any, will have a positive effect upon a Fund’s performance and may result in an increase in the Performance Adjustment. It is possible that the cumulative dollar amount of additional compensation ultimately payable to Janus Capital may, under some circumstances, exceed the cumulative dollar amount of management fees waived by Janus Capital.
 
The investment performance of a Fund’s Class A Shares (waiving the upfront sales load) for the performance measurement period is used to calculate the Performance Adjustment. For performance measurement periods prior to July 6, 2009, certain Funds calculated their Performance Adjustment by comparing the performance of Class T Shares (formerly named Class J Shares) against the investment record of each Fund’s respective benchmark index. For periods beginning July 6, 2009, the investment performance of a Fund’s load-waived Class A Shares for the performance measurement period is used to calculate the Performance Adjustment. Because the Performance Adjustment is based on a rolling 36-month performance measurement period, calculations based solely on the performance of a Fund’s load-waived Class A Shares will not be fully implemented for 36 months after July 6, 2009. During this transition period, the Fund’s performance will be compared to a blended investment performance record that includes the Fund’s Class T Shares (formerly named Class J Shares) performance (the prior share class used for performance calculations) for the portion of the performance measurement period prior to July 6, 2009, and the Fund’s load-waived Class A Shares for the remainder of the period. At the conclusion of the transition period, the Fund’s Class T Shares will be eliminated from the Performance Adjustment calculation, and the calculation will be based solely upon the Fund’s load-waived Class A Shares. After Janus Capital determines whether a particular Fund’s performance was above or below its benchmark index by comparing the investment performance of the Fund’s load-waived Class A Shares, or Class T Shares (formerly named Class J Shares) as the case may be, against the cumulative investment record of the Fund’s benchmark index, Janus Capital applies the same Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) across each other class of shares of the Fund, as applicable.
 
It is not possible to predict the effect of the Performance Adjustment on future overall compensation to Janus Capital since it depends on the performance of each Fund relative to the record of the Fund’s benchmark index and future changes to the size of each Fund.
 
The Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information contain additional information about performance-based fees. The amount shown as advisory fees on the Statements of Operations reflects the Base Fee Rate plus/minus any Performance Adjustment.
 
During the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the following Funds recorded a Performance Adjustment as indicated in the table below:
 
           
    Performance

    (722,034)    
 
 
 
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, Janus Global Research Fund and Janus Worldwide Fund recorded Performance Adjustments of $185,305 and $(1,603,452), respectively. During the two-month period ended September 30, 2009 and as of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, Janus International Equity Fund recorded Performance Adjustments of $19,042 and $77,192, respectively.
 
Janus Services LLC (“Janus Services”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, is the Funds’ transfer agent. In addition, Janus Services provides or arranges for the provision of certain other administrative services including, but not limited to, recordkeeping, accounting, order processing, and other shareholder services for the Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 
Prior to February 16, 2010, certain Funds paid Janus Services an asset-weighted average annual fee based on the proportion of the Fund’s total net assets sold directly and the proportion of the Fund’s net assets sold through intermediaries for Class J Shares, the initial share class. The applicable fee rates were 0.12% of net assets on the proportion of assets sold directly and 0.25% on the proportion of assets sold through intermediaries for Class J Shares, the initial share class.
 
Class D Shares of the Funds pay an annual administrative services fee of 0.12% of net assets. These administrative services fees are paid by the Shares of each Fund for shareholder services provided by Janus Services.
 
Janus Services receives an administrative services fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class R Shares and Class S Shares of the Funds for providing or arranging for the provision of, administrative services including, but not limited to, recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networked accounts, or other shareholder services provided on behalf of investors in Class R Shares and Class S Shares of the Funds, as applicable. Janus Services expects to use a significant portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan service providers, and other financial intermediaries for providing these services.
 
Janus Services receives an administrative services fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class T Shares of the Funds for providing or procuring administrative services to investors in Class T Shares of the Funds. These administrative services fees are paid by Class T Shares of the Funds to Janus Services, which uses some or all of such fees to compensate intermediaries for providing these services to their customers who invest in the Funds. Services provided by these financial intermediaries may include, but are not limited to, recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networked accounts, or other shareholder services provided by intermediaries on behalf of the shareholders of these Funds. Order processing includes the submission of transactions through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) or similar systems, or those processed on a manual basis with Janus. Janus Services or its affiliates may also pay fees for services provided by intermediaries to the extent the fees charged by intermediaries exceed the 0.25% of net assets charged to these Funds.
 
Certain, but not all, intermediaries may charge fees for administrative services, including recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networked accounts, or other shareholder services provided by intermediaries on behalf of the shareholders of the Funds. These administrative fees are paid by the Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares of the Funds to Janus Services, which uses such fees to reimburse intermediaries.
 
Janus Distributors LLC (“Janus Distributors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, is the distributor of the Funds. The Funds have adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan authorizes payments by the Funds at an annual rate, as determined from time to time by the Board of Trustees, of up to 0.25% of the Class A Shares average daily net assets, of up to 1.00% of the Class C Shares average daily net assets, of up to 0.50% of the Class R Shares average daily net assets, and of up to 0.25% of the Class S Shares average daily net assets. Payments under the Plan are not tied exclusively to actual distribution and shareholder service expenses, and the payments may exceed distribution and shareholder service expenses actually incurred by the Funds. If any of a Fund’s actual distribution and shareholder service expenses incurred during a calendar year are less than the payments made during a calendar year, the Fund will be refunded for the difference. Refunds, if any, are included in the “Distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees” in the Statements of Operations.
 
Janus Capital has agreed until at least February 1, 2012 to reimburse certain Funds by the amount, if any, that such Fund’s normal operating expenses in any fiscal year, including the investment advisory fee, but excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, if applicable, class-specific distribution and shareholder servicing fees applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares, the administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares, brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes and extraordinary expenses (including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses), exceed the annual rates noted below. If applicable, amounts reimbursed to the Funds by Janus Capital are disclosed as “Excess Expense Reimbursement” on the Statements of Operations.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Plan”) for independent Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the

annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Funds. All deferred fees are credited to an account established in the name of the Trustees. The amounts credited to the account then increase or decrease, as the case may be, in accordance with the performance of one or more of the Janus funds that are selected by the Trustees. The account balance continues to fluctuate in accordance with the performance of the selected fund or funds until final payment of all amounts are credited to the account. The fluctuation of the account balance is recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and is shown as of September 30, 2010 on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset, “Non-interested Trustees’ deferred compensation,” and a liability, “Non-interested Trustees’ deferred compensation fees.” Additionally, the recorded unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is included in “Unrealized net appreciation/(depreciation) of investments, foreign currency translations and non-interested Trustees’ deferred compensation” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferred compensation expenses for the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 are included in “Non-interested Trustees’ fees and expenses” on the Statements of Operations. Trustees are allowed to change their designation of mutual funds from time to time. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the Deferred Plan. No deferred fees were distributed to any Trustee under the Deferred Plan during the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
 
For the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, Janus Capital assumed $54,830 and $8,636, respectively, of legal, consulting and Trustee costs and fees incurred by the funds in the Trust and Janus Aspen Series together with the Trust (the “Portfolios”), in connection with the regulatory and civil litigation matters discussed in Note 11. These non-recurring costs were allocated to all Portfolios based on the Portfolios’ respective net assets as of July 31, 2004. Unless noted otherwise in the financial highlights, the effect of these non-recurring costs assumed by Janus Capital are included in the ratio of gross expenses to average net assets and were less than 0.01%. No fees were allocated to the Portfolios that commenced operations after July 31, 2004. Additionally, all future non-recurring costs will be allocated to the Portfolios based on the Portfolios’ respective net assets on July 31, 2004. These “Non-recurring costs” and “Costs assumed by Janus Capital” are shown on the Statements of Operations.
 
Certain officers of the Funds may also be officers and/or directors of Janus Capital. Such officers receive no compensation from the Funds, except for the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. The Funds reimburse Janus Capital for a portion of the compensation paid to the Chief Compliance Officer and certain compliance staff of the Trust. Total compensation of $401,114, $429,795, $357,283 and $276,484 was paid by the Trust during the eleven-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2010 and the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, October 31, 2009, and July 31, 2009, respectively. Each Fund’s portion is reported as part of “Other Expenses” on the Statements of Operations.
 
Class A Shares include a 5.75% upfront sales charge of the offering price of the Funds. The sales charge is allocated between Janus Distributors and financial intermediaries. During the eleven-month fiscal year or period ended September 30, 2010, Janus Distributors retained the following upfront sales charges:

A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% will be deducted with respect to Class A Shares purchased without a sales load and redeemed within 12 months of purchase, unless waived, as discussed in the Prospectus. Any applicable CDSC will be 1.00% of the lesser of the original purchase price or the value of the redemption of the Class A Shares redeemed. There were no contingent deferred sales charges paid by redeeming shareholders of Class A Shares during the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
 
Class C Shares include a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge paid by redeeming shareholders to Janus Distributors. The contingent deferred sales charge applies to shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The redemption price may differ from the net asset value per share. During the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, redeeming shareholders of Class C Shares paid the following contingent deferred sales charges:

and Class T Shares of the Funds, as applicable, held for 90 days or less. This fee is paid to the Funds rather than Janus Capital, and is designed to deter excessive short-term trading and to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with changes in the Funds’ asset levels and cash flow due to short-term money movements in and out of the Funds. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to Paid-in Capital. Effective for Class D Shares, Class I Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares purchased on or after January 28, 2011, a 2.00% redemption fee may apply if you sell Shares of Janus Global Select Fund held for 90 days or less.
 
Total redemption fees received by the Funds for the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 are indicated in the table below:

The Funds’ expenses may be reduced by expense offsets from an unaffiliated custodian and/or transfer agent. Such credits or offsets are included in “Expense and Fee Offset” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable). The transfer agent fee offsets received during the period reduce “Transfer agent fees and expenses” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable). Custodian offsets received reduce “Custodian fees” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable). The Funds could have employed the assets used by the custodian and/or transfer agent to produce income if they had not entered into an expense offset arrangement.
 
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of an SEC exemptive order and the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Funds may participate in an affiliated or non-affiliated cash sweep program. In the cash sweep program, uninvested cash balances of the Funds may be used to purchase shares of affiliated or non-affiliated money market funds or cash management pooled investment vehicles. The Funds are eligible to participate in the cash sweep program (the “Investing Funds”). Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC is an affiliated unregistered cash management pooled investment vehicle that invests primarily in highly-rated short-term fixed-income securities. Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC maintains a NAV of $1.00 per share and distributes income daily in a manner consistent with a registered 2a-7 product. There are no restrictions on the Funds’ ability to withdraw investments from Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC at will, and there are no unfunded capital commitments due from the Funds to Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC. As adviser, Janus Capital has an inherent conflict of interest because of its fiduciary duties to the affiliated cash management pooled investment vehicles and the Investing Funds.
 
During the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, respectively, the following Funds recorded distributions from affiliated investment companies as affiliated dividend income, and had the following affiliated purchases and sales:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 
Other book to tax differences may consist of deferred compensation, derivatives and foreign currency contract adjustments. The Funds have elected to treat gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts as capital gains and losses, if applicable. Other foreign currency gains and losses on debt instruments are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
The Funds noted below have incurred “Post-October” losses during the period November 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010. These losses will be deferred for tax purposes and recognized during the next fiscal period.

Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are due to differing treatments for items such as net short-term gains, deferral of wash sale losses, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies, net investment losses and capital loss carryovers. Certain permanent differences such as tax returns of capital and net investment losses noted below have been reclassified to paid-in capital.

10.  Fund Acquisition
 
On July 6, 2009, Janus Global Select Fund (formerly named Janus Orion Fund), Janus Overseas Fund and Janus Worldwide Fund acquired all of the net assets of Janus Adviser Orion Fund, Janus Adviser International Growth Fund and Janus Adviser Worldwide Fund, respectively, pursuant to separate plans of reorganization approved by the Trustees of Janus Investment Fund. The reorganization involved certain funds that were a series of the Janus Adviser Series trust (“JAD Trust”) being merged into various corresponding funds of the Trust. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the series of the JAD Trust for the series of the Trust. The table below reflects the merger activity.

11.  Pending 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 in several state and federal jurisdictions 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. 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, two of which still remain: (i) claims by a putative class of shareholders of Janus Capital Group Inc. (“JCGI”) asserting claims on behalf of the shareholders against JCGI and Janus Capital (First Derivative Traders et al. v. Janus Capital Group Inc. et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland, MDL 1586, formerly referred to as Wiggins, et al. v. Janus Capital Group, Inc., et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland, Case No. 04-CV-00818); and (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).
 
In the First Derivative Traders case (action (i) above), a Motion to Dismiss was previously granted and the matter was dismissed in May 2007. Plaintiffs appealed that dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (“Fourth Circuit”). In May 2009, the Fourth Circuit reversed the order of dismissal and remanded the case back to the trial court for further proceedings. In June 2010, the United States Supreme Court agreed to review the Fourth Circuit’s decision. As a result of these developments at the Supreme Court, the trial court has stayed all further proceedings until the Supreme Court rules on the matter. In the Steinberg case (action (ii) above), the trial court entered an order on January 20, 2010, granting Janus Capital’s Motion for Summary Judgment and dismissing the remaining claims asserted against the company. However, in February 2010, Plaintiffs appealed the trial court’s decision with the Fourth Circuit.
 
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.

12.  New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, “Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements.” This Accounting Standards Update will enhance and clarify existing fair value measurement disclosures. The required disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this Accounting Standards Update will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
 
13.  Subsequent Event
 
Management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to September 30, 2010 and through the date of issuance of the Funds’ financial statements and determined that there were no material events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 
 
 
To the Trustees and Shareholders
of Janus Investment Fund:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Janus Global Life Sciences Fund, Janus Global Research Fund, Janus Global Select Fund (formerly named Janus Orion Fund), Janus Global Technology Fund, Janus International Equity Fund, Janus Overseas Fund and Janus Worldwide Fund (seven of the funds constituting Janus Investment Fund, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at September 30, 2010 and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Advisory Agreement During The Period
 
Performance-Based Advisory Fee Proposal – Janus Overseas Fund
 
At a meeting of the Trustees held on December 11, 2009, the Trustees, each of whom is an Independent Trustee, meaning he or she is not an “interested person” (as defined by the 1940 Act) of the Trust or Janus Capital and its affiliates, voted unanimously to approve an amended and restated investment advisory agreement between Janus Capital and Janus Overseas Fund (the “Amended Advisory Agreement”) and authorized the submission of the Amended Advisory Agreement to the Fund’s shareholders for approval. Shareholders of the Fund approved the Amended Advisory Agreement at special meetings of Shareholders held on July 14, 2010. As discussed below, the Amended Advisory Agreement, as approved, includes an advisory fee payable to Janus Capital that will adjust up or down based on the Fund’s total return performance as compared to the performance of the Fund’s benchmark index. The Amended Advisory Agreement took effect on August 1, 2010.
 
Consideration of the Performance Fee Structure
 
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 performance fee structure, which would include a “Base Fee Rate” for each of those funds at the same rate as the current advisory fee rate, and a Performance Adjustment applied to that rate that would increase or decrease the fee based on whether the fund’s total return performance exceeds or lags a stated relevant benchmark index.
 
Working with Janus Capital to develop a performance fee 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. The Trustees believe that the fee structure included in the Amended Advisory Agreement 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 maximum and minimum that would result in the 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 a Fund’s benchmark index, taking into consideration expected tracking error of the Fund, expected returns and potential risks and economics involved for Janus Capital and the Fund’s shareholders. The Trustees also reviewed the structure of performance fees applied by other Janus funds. The Trustees also considered the fact that for purposes of computing the Performance Adjustment, the Fund’s 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 Rate, Janus Capital 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 manager in making investment decisions within the parameters of the Fund’s investment objective and investment policies and restrictions.

The Trustees also judged the time periods to be used in determining any Performance Adjustment 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 its benchmark index. In that regard, the Trustees concluded that it would be appropriate for there to be no adjustment to the Base Fee Rate for at least the first 15 months, after the effective date of the performance-based fee structure outlined in the Amended Advisory 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 thirty-six month rolling performance measurement period.
 
In considering the Amended Advisory Agreement, and the performance fee structure reflected in the Amendment, 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.
 
In considering whether to approve the Amended Advisory Agreement, the Board of Trustees noted that, except for the performance-based fee structure, the Amended Advisory Agreement was substantially similar to the current Investment Advisory Agreement, which was most recently approved by them at a meeting held on December 11, 2009, and the Board took note of their findings with respect to that approval. The Board took into account the services provided by Janus Capital in its capacity as investment adviser to the Fund and concluded that the services provided were acceptable.
 
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 the 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 Fund. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the resources and key personnel of Janus Capital, especially those who provide investment management services to the Fund. The Trustees also considered other services provided to the Fund 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 Fund as a result of the Amended Advisory Agreement.
 
The Trustees concluded that the Amended Advisory Agreement for the Fund was not expected to adversely affect the nature, extent or quality of services provided to the Fund, and that the Fund would continue to benefit from services provided under the Amended Advisory Agreement. They also concluded that the quality of Janus Capital’s services to the Fund has been adequate. In reaching their conclusions, the Trustees considered: (i) information provided by Janus Capital for their consideration of the Amended Advisory Agreement; (ii) the key factors identified in materials provided to the Trustees by their independent counsel; and (iii) the reasonableness of the fees payable by shareholders of the Fund. 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 Agreement, as well as the overall fee structure of the Fund. The Trustees examined the fee information and expenses for the Fund in comparison to information for other comparable funds, as provided by Lipper.
 
The Trustees considered the structure by which Janus Capital would be paid for their services, including the implementation of the new performance-based fee structure for the Fund. The Trustees also considered the overall fees of the Fund for services provided to the Fund.
 
The Trustees concluded that the estimated overall expense ratio of the Fund was comparable to or more favorable than the median expense ratio of its peers, and that the fees that the Fund will pay to Janus Capital 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 for managing comparable mutual funds with similar strategies, and (2) the impact of the performance-based fee structure, as applicable.
 
Performance of the Fund
 
The Trustees considered the performance results of the Fund over various time periods. They reviewed information comparing the Fund’s performance with the performance of comparable funds and peer groups identified by Lipper, and with the Fund’s benchmark index. They concluded that the performance of the Fund was acceptable under current market conditions. Although the performance of the Fund may have lagged benchmark indices for certain periods, the Trustees also concluded that the manner in

152 | September 30, 2010


 

 

 
 
which Janus Capital addressed those instances of underperformance was appropriate.
 
Other Benefits from the Relationship with Janus Capital
 
The Trustees also considered benefits that would accrue to the Fund from its relationship with Janus Capital. The Trustees concluded that, other than the services to be provided by Janus Capital pursuant to the Amended Advisory Agreement and the fees to be paid by the Fund for such services, the Fund and Janus Capital may potentially benefit from their relationship with one another in other ways. They also concluded that success of the relationship between the Fund and Janus Capital could attract other business to Janus Capital or to other Janus funds, and that the success of Janus Capital could enhance the firm’s ability to serve the Fund. They also concluded that Janus Capital may potentially benefit from the receipt of proprietary and third-party research products and services to be acquired through commissions paid on portfolio transactions of the Fund or other funds in the Janus complex, and that the Fund may potentially benefit from Janus Capital’s receipt of those products and services, as well as research products and services acquired through commissions paid by other clients of Janus Capital. The Trustees further concluded that Janus Capital’s use of “soft” commission dollars to obtain proprietary and third-party research products and services was consistent with regulatory requirements and guidelines and was likely to benefit the Fund.
 
After full consideration of the above factors, as well as other factors, the Trustees concluded that approving the Amended Advisory Agreement for the Fund was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Financial Statements (unaudited)

 
 
 
1.  Performance Overviews
 
Performance overview graphs compare the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each Fund (from inception) with one or more widely used market indices. The hypothetical example does not represent the returns of any particular investment.
 
When comparing the performance of a Fund with an index, keep in mind that market indices do not include brokerage commissions that would be incurred if you purchased the individual securities in the index. They also do not include taxes payable on dividends and interest or operating expenses incurred if you maintained a Fund invested in the index.
 
Average annual total returns are also quoted for each Fund. Average annual total return is calculated by taking the growth or decline in value of an investment over a period of time, including reinvestment of dividends and distributions, then calculating the annual compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same result had the rate of growth been constant throughout the period. Average annual total return does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
 
Pursuant to federal securities rules, expense ratios shown in the performance chart reflect subsidized and unsubsidized ratios for the past fiscal year. The total annual fund operating expenses ratio is gross of any fee waivers, reflecting a Fund’s unsubsidized expense ratio. The net annual fund operating expenses ratio (if applicable) includes contractual waivers of Janus Capital and/or Janus Services and reflects a Fund’s subsidized expense ratio. Both the total annual fund operating expenses ratio and net annual fund operating expenses ratio are estimated for the fiscal year. The ratios also include expenses indirectly incurred by a Fund as a result of investing in other investment companies or pooled investments, which are not reflected in the “Financial Highlights” of this report. As a result, these ratios may be higher or lower than those shown in the “Financial Highlights” in this report. 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
2.  Schedules of Investments
 
Following the performance overview section is each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. This schedule reports the industry concentrations and types of securities held in each Fund on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are usually listed by type (common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. Government obligations, etc.) and by industry classification (banking, communications, insurance, etc.). Holdings are subject to change without notice.
 
The value of each security is quoted as of the last day of the reporting period. The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies is converted into U.S. dollars.
 
If a Fund invests in foreign securities, it will also provide a summary of investments by country. This summary reports each Fund’s exposure to different countries by providing the percentage of securities invested in each country. The country of each security represents the country in which the company is incorporated. Each Fund’s Schedule of Investments relies upon the industry group and country classifications published by Bloomberg L.P.
 
2a. Forward Currency Contracts
 
A table listing forward currency contracts follows each Fund’s Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Forward currency contracts are agreements to deliver or receive a preset amount of currency at a future date. Forward currency contracts are used to hedge against foreign currency risk in the Funds’ long-term holdings.
 
The table provides the name of the foreign currency, the settlement date of the contract, the amount of the contract, the value of the currency in U.S. dollars and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the change in currency exchange rates from the time the contract was opened to the last day of the reporting period.
 
2b. Futures
 
A table listing futures contracts follows each Fund’s Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Futures contracts are contracts that obligate the buyer to receive and the seller to deliver an instrument or money at a specified price on a specified date. Futures are used to hedge against adverse movements in securities prices, currency risk or interest rates.
 
The table provides the name of the contract, number of contracts held, the expiration date, the principal amount, value and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the marked-to-market amount for the last day of the reporting period.
 
2c. Options
 
A table listing written options contracts follows each Fund’s Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Written options contracts are contracts that obligate a Fund to sell or purchase an underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. Options are used to hedge against

154 | September 30, 2010


 

 

 
 
adverse movements in securities prices, currency risk or interest rates.
 
The table provides the name of the contract, number of contracts held, the expiration date, exercise price, value and premiums received.
 
3.  Statements of Assets and Liabilities
 
These statements are often referred to as the “balance sheets.” It lists the assets and liabilities of the Funds on the last day of the reporting period.
 
The Funds’ assets are calculated by adding the value of the securities owned, the receivable for securities sold but not yet settled, the receivable for dividends declared but not yet received on stocks owned and the receivable for Fund shares sold to investors but not yet settled. The Funds’ liabilities include payables for securities purchased but not yet settled, Fund shares redeemed but not yet paid and expenses owed but not yet paid. Additionally, there may be other assets and liabilities such as unrealized gain or loss on forward currency contracts.
 
The section entitled “Net Assets Consist of” breaks down the components of the Funds’ net assets. Because the Funds must distribute substantially all earnings, you will notice that a significant portion of net assets is shareholder capital.
 
The last section of this statement reports the net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the Funds’ net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding.
 
4.  Statements of Operations
 
These statements detail the Funds’ income, expenses, gains and losses on securities and currency transactions, and appreciation or depreciation of current Fund holdings.
 
The first section in this statement, entitled “Investment Income,” reports the dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the Funds.
 
The next section reports the expenses incurred by the Funds, including the advisory fee paid to the investment adviser, transfer agent fees and expenses, and printing and postage for mailing statements, financial reports and prospectuses. Expense offsets and expense reimbursements, if any, are also shown.
 
The last section lists the increase or decrease in the value of securities held in the Funds. The Funds will realize a gain (or loss) when they sell their position in a particular security. An unrealized gain (or loss) refers to the change in net appreciation or depreciation of the Funds during the reporting period. “Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) on Investments” is affected both by changes in the market value of Fund holdings and by gains (or losses) realized during the reporting period.
 
5.  Statements of Changes in Net Assets
 
These statements report the increase or decrease in the Funds’ net assets during the reporting period. Changes in the Funds’ net assets are attributable to investment operations, dividends, distributions and capital share transactions. This is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the Funds’ net asset size to change during the period.
 
The first section summarizes the information from the Statements of Operations regarding changes in net assets due to the Funds’ investment performance. The Funds’ net assets may also change as a result of dividend and capital gains distributions to investors. If investors receive their dividends in cash, money is taken out of the Funds to pay the distribution. If investors reinvest their dividends, the Funds’ net assets will not be affected. If you compare each Fund’s “Net Decrease from Dividends and Distributions” to the “Reinvested dividends and distributions,” you will notice that dividend distributions had little effect on each Fund’s net assets. This is because the majority of Janus investors reinvest their distributions.
 
The reinvestment of dividends is included under “Capital Share Transactions.” “Capital Shares” refers to the money investors contribute to the Funds through purchases or withdrawals via redemptions. “Redemption Fees” (if applicable) refers to the fee paid to the Funds for shares held for 90 days or less by a shareholder. The Funds’ net assets will increase and decrease in value as investors purchase and redeem shares from the Funds.
 
6.  Financial Highlights
 
This schedule provides a per-share breakdown of the components that affect each Fund’s NAV for current and past reporting periods. Not only does this table provide you with total return, it also reports total distributions, asset size, expense ratios and portfolio turnover rate.
 
The first line in the table reflects the NAV per share at the beginning of the reporting period. The next line reports the net investment income per share, which comprises dividends and interest income earned on securities held by the Funds. Following is the total of gains/(losses), realized and unrealized. Dividends and distributions are then subtracted to arrive at the NAV per share at the end of the period. The next line reflects the average annual total return reported the last day of the period. The total

return may include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, the total return may differ from the total return reflected for shareholder transactions.
 
Also included are the expense ratios, or the percentage of average net assets that were used to cover operating expenses during the period. Expense ratios vary across the Funds within the Trust for a number of reasons, including the differences in management fees, the frequency of dividend payments and the extent of foreign investments, which entail greater transaction costs.
 
The Funds’ expenses may be reduced through expense-reduction arrangements. These arrangements may include the use of balance credits or transfer agent fee offsets. The Statements of Operations reflect total expenses before any such offset, the amount of the offset and the net expenses. The expense ratios listed in the Financial Highlights reflect total expenses prior to any expense offset (gross expense ratio) and after the expense offsets (net expense ratio). Both expense ratios reflect expenses after waivers (reimbursements), if applicable.
 
The ratio of net investment income/(loss) summarizes the income earned less expenses, divided by the average net assets of a Fund during the reporting period. Don’t confuse this ratio with a Fund’s yield. The net investment income ratio is not a true measure of a Fund’s yield because it doesn’t take into account the dividends distributed to the Fund’s investors.
 
The next figure is the portfolio turnover rate, which measures the buying and selling activity in a Fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the asset size of a Fund, the nature of the Fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager. A 100% rate implies that an amount equal to the value of the entire portfolio is turned over in a year; a 50% rate means that an amount equal to the value of half the portfolio is traded in a year; and a 200% rate means that an amount equal to the value of the portfolio is traded every six months.

Janus provides access to a wide range of investment disciplines.
 
Alternative
Janus alternative funds seek to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle with lower correlation to equity markets than traditional investments.
 
Asset Allocation
Janus’ asset allocation funds utilize our fundamental, bottom-up research to balance risk over the long term. From fund options that meet investors’ risk tolerance and objectives to a method that incorporates non-traditional investment choices to seek non-correlated sources of risk and return, Janus’ asset allocation funds aim to allocate risk more effectively.
 
Core
Janus core funds seek investments in more stable and predictable companies. These funds look for a strategic combination of steady growth and for certain funds, some degree of income.
 
Fixed Income
Janus bond funds attempt to provide less risk relative to equities while seeking to deliver a competitive total return through high current income and appreciation. Janus money market funds seek capital preservation and liquidity with current income as a secondary objective.
 
Global & International
Janus global and international funds seek to leverage Janus’ research capabilities by taking advantage of inefficiencies in foreign markets, where accurate information and analytical insight are often at a premium.
 
Growth
Janus growth funds focus on companies believed to be the leaders in their respective industries, with solid management teams, expanding market share, margins and efficiencies.
 
Risk Managed
Our risk-managed funds seek to outperform their respective indices while maintaining a risk profile equal to or lower than the index itself. Managed by INTECH (a Janus subsidiary), these funds use a mathematical process in an attempt to build a more “efficient” portfolio than the index.
 
Value
Janus value funds invest in companies they believe are poised for a turnaround or are trading at a significant discount to fair value. The goal is to gain unique insight into a company’s true value and identify and evaluate potential catalysts that may unlock shareholder value.

Co-Chief Investment Officers’ Market Perspective (unaudited)

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for investing in Janus. As we write this letter at the close of the third quarter, the stock market has just posted its best September since 1939. Skeptics who think the economy is heading for a double-dip recession may call it a case of irrational exuberance. But we think that these “double dippers” underestimated the resiliency of corporate America. U.S. economic growth of around 2% over the next 15 months would not be terrific, but it doesn’t point to a collapsing economy. U.S. corporate profits and finances are in remarkably good shape, bolstered by unprecedented cost cuts, rising cash flows and balance sheets that are much healthier than a few years ago.
 
Of course, we understand that economic challenges remain. While the U.S. recession officially ended in June 2009, it hasn’t felt that way for millions of Americans. Nearly 15 million people remain out of work, and the economy isn’t generating enough jobs to significantly slash the unemployment rate. The new health care law, changes in tax policy and financial regulations are all weighing heavily on corporate confidence. The modest recoveries in retail sales and the housing market, meanwhile, leave economic growth below where it was a few years ago.
 
Despite these headwinds, we see opportunities in individual securities, and we’re confident that evaluating companies on their fundamentals is the way to prevail in this uncertain era. For investors with a long horizon, we suggest taking a balanced approach, holding a range of equities and fixed-income assets for the best potential risk-adjusted returns. Patience isn’t easy, but it can be rewarding.
 
Equities Have Room to Run
 
Even after the recent rally, stock valuations are compelling. Many large-cap U.S. stocks are trading at price-earnings multiples that are below average, especially when considered in the context of today’s low interest rates. Free cash flows are rising, indicating that companies are finding ways to grow in this environment. And dividends are back in vogue. More than 175 companies in the S&P 500® Index have initiated or raised dividends this year while only three have lowered or eliminated distributions. We believe that dividends are likely to provide a meaningful portion of the total expected returns from equities in the future and we like the financial discipline they impose upon corporate managers.
 
Foreign markets are providing significant new growth areas too. Rising household incomes in China, Eastern Europe and Latin America are boosting demand for imported goods. China may be putting the brakes on its economy, but its gross domestic product still soared 9.6% late in the period. In Europe, Germany continues to surprise on the upside, with the manufacturing and services purchasing indexes rising in October ahead of consensus forecasts.
 
Granted, high unemployment and a weak housing market are hindering a broad recovery. But stocks may not need a raging economy to move higher at this stage. Non-financial U.S. firms are sitting on more than $1.8 trillion in cash – money that may accelerate dividends, share buybacks, acquisitions or business investment, fueling higher stock prices. Consumer spending appears resilient for “affordable luxury” goods. And we’re seeing merger-and-acquisition activity pick up, a sign of improving investor sentiment. We can’t say when, but we believe the markets will eventually start to appreciate the value of fundamentally solid firms.
 
Finding Values in Bonds
 
Flows into fixed-income funds have surged by over $220 billion this year through September, prompting media buzz of a “bond bubble,” particularly at the short end of the Treasury curve, where yields have been flattening and are near record lows. Certain areas of the market have lost some luster in our view. However, we disagree with the notion of an across-the-board bond bubble. Low inflation data is supportive of current yields. And we continue to see value in investment grade and high-yield corporate credits, along with some foreign corporate bonds. High-yield bonds may also continue to benefit from investor demand for income in this low-rate climate.
 
Naturally, we’re always on the lookout for changes in expectations for inflation. Recent data points have been

Continued

disinflationary, and we expect inflation to trend between 1.0-1.5% over the next 12 months. But we remain concerned that inflation could ramp up quickly as the economy returns to a more normal footing, eventually leading to rate hikes and price pressure across the yield curve.
 
We’re closely monitoring the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) actions too. The Fed’s program to buy $600 billion in Treasuries (on top of existing asset purchases) is likely to stimulate the economy on the margin and be an uplifting force for “risk assets” like stocks and high-yield bonds. Yet pumping $110 billion a month into the system – essentially by printing money – comes with a tremendous amount of skepticism. The Fed runs the very real risk of creating new asset bubbles, sparking runaway inflation and further devaluing the dollar. It’s a risk we’re monitoring closely.
 
Looking Ahead
 
For investors, one issue now is whether to buy stocks and bonds through a passively managed index strategy or go with an active approach. Buying an index fund may certainly look appealing from a risk perspective. But the major indexes may prove to be a poor tool for risk management and preservation of capital, saddling investors with large stakes in companies that may have deteriorating fundamentals. This approach may be risky in such an uncertain and volatile climate, and some of the best opportunities may not be the companies that dominate an index. More than ever, we believe it’s critical to dig deep and evaluate companies on their fundamentals – cash flows, balance sheets, capital structures and credit strategies – in order to determine potential returns. In our view, it’s the only way to discover companies that will ultimately reward you, our shareholders.
 
Thanks again for your trust and confidence in Janus.
 
Sincerely,

U.S. Treasury securities are direct debt obligations issued by the U.S. Government. With government bonds, the investor is a creditor of the government. Treasury Bills and U.S. Government Bonds are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, are generally considered to be free of credit risk and typically carry lower yields than other securities. Bonds in a portfolio are typically intended to provide income and/or diversification. In general, the bond market is volatile. Bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.

Useful Information About Your Fund Report (unaudited)

 
Management Commentaries
 
The Management Commentaries in this report include valuable insight from each of the Funds’ managers as well as statistical information to help you understand how your Fund’s performance and characteristics stack up against those of comparable indices.
 
If a Fund invests in foreign securities, this report may include information about country exposure. Country exposure is based primarily on the country of domicile. However, the Funds’ managers may allocate a company to a country based on other factors such as location of the company’s principal office, the location of the principal trading market for the company’s securities, or the country where a majority of the company’s revenues are derived.
 
Please keep in mind that the opinions expressed by the Funds’ managers in the Management Commentaries are just that: opinions. They are a reflection of the managers’ best judgment at the time this report was compiled, which was September 30, 2010. As the investing environment changes, so could the managers’ opinions. These views are unique to each manager and aren’t necessarily shared by fellow employees or by Janus in general.
 
Fund Expenses
 
We believe it’s important for our shareholders to have a clear understanding of Fund expenses and the impact they have on investment return.
 
The following is important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears in each Fund’s Management Commentary within this Annual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for each Fund.
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (applicable to Class A Shares only); redemption fees, where applicable (and any related exchange fees); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares only); administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares only); administrative fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares only); and other Fund expenses. The example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The example is based upon an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six-month period from April 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010.
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line of the table in each example provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table in each example provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based upon each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus Capital”) has contractually agreed to waive certain Funds’ total operating expenses, excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, if applicable, class-specific distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares only), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares only), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes and extraordinary expenses, including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses, to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012 and until February 16, 2011 for Janus Research Core Fund. Expenses in the examples reflect application of these waivers. Had the waivers not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher. More information

| SEPTEMBER 30, 2010


 

regarding the waivers is available in the Funds’ prospectuses.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees (where applicable) and any related exchange fees. These fees are fully described in the prospectus. Therefore, the second line of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Performance Overview
 
Janus Balanced Fund’s Class T Shares returned 9.38% for the eleven-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared with a 10.66% return by the Balanced Index, an internally-calculated secondary benchmark. The Balanced Index is composed of a 55% weighting in the S&P 500 Index, the Fund’s primary benchmark, and a 45% weighting in the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund’s other secondary benchmark, which returned 12.25% and 7.63%, respectively.
 
Portfolio Manager Comments
 
Healthy corporate balance sheets and improving profitability helped drive strong performance for both equity markets and corporate credit over the past eleven months, particularly in cyclical industries like consumer discretionary and industrials. We saw echoes of this corporate strength in the better U.S. economic numbers during the latter part of the period. But economic growth was still relatively weak in terms of where it usually is at this point in a typical recovery. We were encouraged by the expanding business activity and continue to think economic growth will be positive. We still believe the U.S. and global economies face many challenges but think this will likely translate into economic growth that is uneven and below long-term averages, particularly in the U.S. and other developed countries. Emerging markets are likely to be a leading source of this growth until more developed regions work through some of these challenges and as domestic demand for these developing countries matures.
 
Correlations across individual stocks and sectors remained somewhat elevated and volatility increased as investors balanced better-than-expected corporate profits with the uncertain political and economic environment. However, we saw some stability and signs of life in the corporate sector while consumer spending remained relatively soft. Companies were starting to do a little more with the large sums of cash sitting on their balance sheets – like returning it to shareholders in the form of dividends and/or increasing capital expenditures. Although we did take a more cyclical stance in the portfolio during the period, we still believe the challenging environment elevates the importance of finding efficient value-creating global businesses.
 
Two key themes in the bond market continue to be: the U.S. Government’s support of the U.S. mortgage market through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and continued disinflation. Long-term interest rates declined amid mixed economic data, tame inflation and growing speculation of another round of quantitative easing (QE2) by the Federal Reserve (Fed) late in the period. The 10-year U.S. Treasury finished the period near its lowest level since March 2009 while short-term rates held fairly steady, resulting in further flattening of the yield curve. Although the decline in rates provided a favorable backdrop for fixed income markets during the period, interest rate volatility remained somewhat elevated; suggesting the downtrend in interest rates is not likely to last. Corporate credit spreads narrowed, driving this segment’s strong relative performance. Meanwhile, agency mortgage backed securities (MBS) spreads widened, which weighed on the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s relative results. The commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) and high yield topped the list of performers within fixed income.
 
Our research and recent discussions with management teams across various industries pointed to a steady progression in business spending and orders for large U.S. multinational companies, leading us to lower our exposure in more defensive securities and raise our exposure to companies in generally more cyclical industries, such as industrials. We also added to some consumer discretionary stocks in anticipation of a rebound in the consumer that may follow the increased business activity. Shifting to a more cyclical stance aided the Fund’s relative performance towards the end of the period as consumer discretionary and industrials were among the top performing sectors within the S&P 500 Index. Stocks in the U.S. finished the volatile period with solid gains, turning in their best September performance since 1939.

Small- and mid-cap growth companies outperformed other asset classes during the eleven months. Large-cap or mega-cap stocks lagged during the period, which given the growth tilt of the Fund’s equity sleeve, played a role in its underperformance relative to the U.S. market.
 
We favored companies with a large emerging market presence as we believe these markets will see strong growth in per capita income and a maturing middle class over the long term. Our equity holdings in consumer staples and to some extent industrials fit this category quite well as a large portion of their revenue growth comes from developing countries. Mobility and growing demand for smart phones remained a theme in the equity sleeve and we have favored companies with exposure to different aspects of this trend, from manufacturers to semiconductors and service providers. Within financials, we continued to see healing in the financial system and were holding positions in firms we think will do well in a tighter regulatory environment, despite their recent underperformance. Banks continued to improve their capital structures and we feel that many of our holdings are well capitalized and could benefit from a recovery in the U.S. consumer.
 
We were using bonds of real estate investment trusts (REITs) over investing in CMBS in an effort to garner real estate exposure within the fixed income sleeve. In addition, we were overweight lower rated credits, such as BBB’s and BB’s during the period. From a sector perspective, we moved more into generally late-cycle areas, such as media, hospitality and lodging, late in the period and were more defensive around cable companies and utilities. We also were favoring shorter duration holdings, those less sensitive to interest rate movements, during the period in anticipation of higher long-term rates.
 
Performance Summary
 
The Fund’s underperformance relative to the Balanced Index was in part due to our underweighting in equities earlier in the period and weak relative performance of our equity allocation. We had taken our equity weighting down from roughly 57% to around 50% by mid period given our cautious stance on the U.S. economy and overall equity markets. Over the latter part of the period, we put more cash to work, increasing the equity weighting to around 56% while increasing the fixed income weighting from 40% to roughly 44%. Our more bullish stance towards the end of the period was predicated on improving macro data points and seeing an increase in business activity at the individual company level. We think the risk of a double-dip recession and a deflationary spiral are lower than they were earlier in the year, especially since the Federal Reserve has continued to indicate its willingness to do whatever it takes to fight deflation – even if it means sparking a little inflation.
 
Within the equity sleeve, weak performing selections within financials and health care drove much of this sleeve’s underperformance relative to the S&P 500 Index while industrials and consumer discretionary stocks provided the largest boost. Turning to fixed income, our significant overweighting in corporate credit and zero MBS holdings contributed the most to this sleeves outperformance relative to the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. On a negative note, our underweighting in U.S. Treasuries and zero exposure to CMBS detracted modestly.
 
Equity Detractors
 
A variety of issues from European sovereign debt exposure to a slumping consumer and uncertainty surrounding the impact of financial reform have weighed on shares of Morgan Stanley and Bank of America (BAC) over the last several months. We believe investment bank/brokerage firm Morgan Stanley has a very good wealth management business which we think will become an increasing percentage of the overall company’s earnings. We think BAC can work through the challenges resulting from a low interest rate environment and that it can continue to generate earnings and build capital Ultimately, we expect BAC to be in a position to return capital to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases.
 
Equity Contributors
 
Philip Morris International, a maker of tobacco products, was a top position in the Fund at period end. We like the company’s very attractive dividend yield, strong balance sheet and historic ability to generate free cash flows. We also think the company has pricing power and growth prospects through expansion in emerging markets. Apple, Inc. was another top contributor amid continued market share gains in the personal computers, smart phones and other new product areas, namely the iPad. We believe the company continued to execute well amid positive product momentum and better-than-expected revenues. Apple’s stock price remained attractive to us given the cash on the company’s large cash position, strong and improving margins and long-term earnings growth potential.
 
Fixed Income Detractors

companies, drove much of the underperformance in the name as the long-end of the curve outperformed. We think the company has a strong management team and like that it has been focused on paying down acquisition-related debt. Given the tight spreads at which the company’s long maturities were trading, we felt the short end offered a better value.
 
American Express, though technically a bank holding company, is largely viewed as a credit card company. More upbeat macroeconomic data helped our holdings rebound late in the period, but not enough to keep it from being a detractor for the eleven months. The company’s results have largely been driven by consumer spending volumes. American Express could benefit from what we believe to be pent-up consumer demand, even in a slow economy. As such, we maintained our position in the name. Management’s focus on paying down debt is also attractive to us.

Vancouver, Canada-based Teck Resources focuses on metallic coal mining is a good example of a fallen angel, in our view, that ran into trouble and subsequently recovered through its focus on paying down debt and strengthening its financial position. After the company’s bonds were upgraded to investment grade, which occurred in the second quarter of 2010, we decided to hold onto our position after getting a sense of management “s desire to take out the remaining non-investment grade, high coupon bonds still outstanding.
 
Conditions within the banking sector improved during the third quarter as overall bad loans and write-offs declined. As a result, GE Capital witnessed fewer write-offs in its most recent quarterly report, benefiting from tighter credit standards. GE Capital was also helped by improving office rents and demand for equipment, which appeared to be stabilizing. We like the company given its focus on paying down debt and improving its credit profile. We think GE Capital was still relatively inexpensive through period end and is well positioned to benefit from a pickup in capital expenditures and M&A activity.
 
Outlook
 
We remain committed to finding companies with strong free cash flows, improving margins and leaner capital structures. We like companies that run more efficiently because of the potential for them to generate higher free cash flows and earn greater returns on the capital deployed. We think this combination generally provides firms with the flexibility to return cash to shareholders, perhaps in the form of dividends, without sacrificing their growth prospects and debt repayment. With interest rates low, credit spreads still relatively wide and healthy corporate balance sheets equities and corporate credit remain relatively attractive. We continue to see little value in agency MBS and government agencies. We believe our strengths lie in our fundamental bottom-up analysis and robust risk management across both fixed income and equities. We believe we can effectively apply these strengths and create value for our shareholders over the long term.
 
Thank you for investing in Janus Balanced Fund.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.

Performance shown for Class A Shares at Maximum Offering Price (MOP) includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this charge and would have been lower had this charge been taken into account.

Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses allocated to any class (excluding the distribution and shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012. The contractual waiver may be terminated at any time prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Returns shown include fee waivers, if any, and without such waivers, returns would have been lower.
 
Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. Contractual waivers agreed to by Janus Capital, where applicable, are included under “Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with non-investment grade debt securities, investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), and derivatives. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The Fund invests in REITs, which may be subject to a higher degree of market risk because of concentration in a specific industry, sector or geographic region. REITs may be subject to risks including, but not limited to: legal, political, liquidity, interest rate risks, a decline in the value of real estate, risks related to general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trust and defaults by borrowers. To the extent the Fund invests in foreign REITs, the Fund may be subject to fluctuations in currency rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
Funds that invest in bonds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds owned by the Fund. Unlike owning individual bonds, there are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of bond funds. The return of principal is not guaranteed due to net asset value fluctuation that is caused by changes in the price of specific bonds held in the Fund and selling of bonds within the Fund by the portfolio managers.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Balanced Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Balanced Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class I Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class I Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class I Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.
 
Ranking is for Class T Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.

  Effective July 9, 2009, the Fund changed its secondary benchmark index from the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index to the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Janus Capital believes that the new secondary benchmark index provides a more appropriate representation of the Fund’s investments. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged market value weighted index for U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade debt issues, including government, corporate, mortgage-backed, and asset-backed securities with maturities of at least one year.

Janus Contrarian Fund (unaudited)

             

Fund Snapshot
We believe a bottom-up process, focused on non-consensus, contrarian investment ideas will drive strong risk-adjusted returns over time. Through our deep fundamental analysis, we seek to identify high-quality businesses, regardless of market capitalization or geography, and capitalize on asymmetrical risk/reward opportunities.

Performance Overview
 
Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Contrarian Fund. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the Fund’s Class T Shares had a return of 19.81%, exceeding the 12.25% return of the S&P 500 Index, the Fund’s primary benchmark.
 
Though the period was in aggregate a strong one for equity returns, it was also marked by tremendous volatility. In May, 2010, the market suffered a severe correction as macro fears around the sovereign debt crisis overshadowed any signs of improvement in economic growth. Unfortunately, the issue of excessive leverage is not going away anytime soon. Peak debt and trough interest rates are a dangerous combination that unfortunately confront many countries in Europe, the U.S., and Japan. Though I expect markets to remain volatile, and would not be surprised to see a period of sub-par equity returns due to the combined effects of sluggish economic growth and debt reduction, I nonetheless believe that excellent investment opportunities are increasingly prevalent as investors shun equities as an asset class. In fact, the search for safety in yield, which has led to a massive shift in flows from equities into bonds, has resulted in exceptionally attractive dividend yields for equities. As I will discuss in greater detail, I would expect that strong total returns will come from high dividend yielding stocks as investors return to equities but demand a greater return of their capital through dividends.
 
Dividends
 
In last year’s letter I spent some time discussing themes I have been focusing on. To briefly refresh, the themes were 1) capitalizing on growing consumerism in Asia, 2) capitalizing on increasing demand for infrastructure in Asia, and 3) capitalizing on the opportunity for dividend yield compression to drive capital gains. The Fund continues to be positioned for these themes, which are in fact playing out. In this letter I would like to expand on the dividend theme, because it is becoming a much more important structural aspect of Janus Contrarian Fund and is actually providing an increasingly compelling global investment opportunity. As a shareholder or potential shareholder, you will likely see a growing portion of the total return of the Fund generated by dividends.
 
While yield in and of itself is rarely the only reason for inclusion in the portfolio, I firmly believe that yield will be a more important part of the total return of equities than has been the case for the last 30 years. For this reason, when looking for stocks that are materially undervalued, I am increasingly looking for a sizable dividend yield as well, which allows the portfolio to be paid while it waits for investor sentiment to turn. Given the size of some of the yield opportunities, the yield itself can provide an adequate total return, even before capital appreciation. A new holding, Telecom Italia, is an example of this. Although I believe it is materially undervalued and the opportunity for capital appreciation is significant, the Fund will generate close to a 5% annualized return simply waiting for the value to be recognized.
 
The total return of a stock is the capital gain of the stock itself combined with its dividend yield (if there is one). Over approximately the last 100 years, the average annual return of stocks has been around 7-8% and the dividend yield has represented almost half of that. This is important because if we are in fact entering a period of normal or even subnormal returns, the return of capital that comes through yield will become increasingly important. Why? Consider this. The total return of the S&P 500 Index in the last 10 years is roughly zero. However, a portfolio of 4% yielding stocks would have generated a 40% return without reinvestment over this period, meaning the portfolio could have suffered a 40% capital loss and not have lost money. The annual head start in total returns that dividends provide, combined with the compounding effect of their reinvestment, is glaringly obvious when capital gains in stocks are minimal or negative.
 
There is nothing new about dividends. They have always been part and parcel to a successful investing strategy. However, over the last 30 years, dividends have essentially fallen out of style, often losing out to share repurchases

Janus Contrarian Fund (unaudited)

Why? During the equity bull market of the 80’s, 90’s, and the middle of the 00’s, company managers were rewarded for growth in earnings per share, irrespective of the real economic impact of that decision. By reducing the shares, even when purchasing overvalued stock, earnings per share increased. This strategy continued at an increasing rate right up to the summer of 2007 when both the stock market and share repurchases in the U.S. reached a historic high. I find this statistic rather unsettling. How was it that company management, whose primary duty is to reinvest shareholder cash flow at the highest rate possible, collectively reinvested the most capital at the highest level for stock prices in history? The answer is that companies do not in fact have the best record of reinvesting cash flows at the highest rate of return, which is a very good reason why they should give it back to shareholders. The unfortunate consequence of this period has been billions of dollars of wasted shareholder value.
 
The net effect of this, as I highlighted in my letter of 2009, will be a demand for yield, thereby resulting in strong absolute returns for companies with a strong commitment to returning cash to shareholders through dividends. Importantly, this will result in yield being a more important factor in valuation than has been the case for the last few decades. The reason for this is when considering yield, one considers the yield in comparison to other alternative asset classes that generate a return of capital, such as bonds or real estate. There is a point where the yield is so attractive relative to the alternatives that it will act as a support for valuation. Furthermore, a very high yield can act as a catalyst for capital appreciation. This is what I refer to as yield compression. If a company’s fundamentals suggest a lower yield is warranted, the resulting impact is capital appreciation of the stock.
 
While return of capital through yield is an important way of returning cash to shareholders, there are occasions when a dividend is simply not appropriate, the most common being for companies that have excessive leverage. For heavily indebted companies, the best use of shareholder capital is to reduce debt, thereby strengthening the financial condition of the company. United Continental Holdings (formerly UAL Corp.), a very important contributor to the return of the Fund over the last year, is an example. United Continental has long teetered on the edge of financial solvency. Paying a dividend now would not in any way be the best way of returning cash to shareholders. For United Continental, reducing debt and minimizing or eliminating the risk of bankruptcy was by far the best form of increasing shareholder value. While I expect the dividend yield of Janus Contrarian Fund to grow, it will never be the case that all holdings in the portfolio will pay a dividend at any point in time. This is because some of the holdings in the Fund are in a turn-around mode.
 
What Worked and What Didn’t
 
During the period, the most important contributors to the Fund were United Continental, CB Richard Ellis, Kinder Morgan, and two Indian companies – JSW Steel, and ICICI Bank. The decision to own United Continental was based on the assumption that the market was pricing the risk of bankruptcy too high. Following the collapse of oil prices, we began to watch for an uptick in corporate travel, by far the most profitable form of travel. With United Continental leading the industry in capacity reduction and pricing for services once offered for free (baggage fees, as an example), we became not only confident that United Continental would avoid bankruptcy, but would in fact be surprisingly profitable. In fact, United Continental will likely earn this year roughly the amount that its shares were trading for just a year ago. CB Richard Ellis (CBG) is another company that was being priced for a high probability of bankruptcy. Though commercial real estate will take a long time to recover, transaction volumes, upon which CBG largely depends, have indeed begun to recover. Oftentimes investors will cast aside entire groups of companies if the industry is unfavorable. We believe this was the case with CBG, a high quality company serving a difficult industry. Kinder Morgan is one of the longest held positions in the portfolio and it continued to grow profitably and return cash to shareholders.
 
Longtime investors of the Fund know that India has always been an important investment theme. Following my most recent trip to India, it remains so. JSW Steel is one of the most rapidly growing steel manufacturers in the world and is moving to be one of the most profitable. ICICI Bank continued to grow its loan book and improve its profitability.
 
On the other side of the equation, the worst performing position was Mylan Labs, a generic pharmaceutical company. While it performed poorly during the period, I remain confident in its attractive valuation and opportunity to capitalize on the enormous number of pharmaceuticals becoming generic over the coming years. Assured Guaranty is another company that performed poorly during the period. Assured provides guarantee insurance for municipal bonds. Though there is no question that municipalities are feeling the effect of overspending early in the decade and are now faced with reduced tax receipts to service their obligations, our work suggests the market has over-reacted to the magnitude of the risk. For

this reason, I remain comfortable with the position which I believe is substantially undervalued.
 
Derivatives
 
I wanted to speak briefly about the use of derivatives. Derivatives, primarily options, are used in the portfolio to generate income (through selling calls, and selling puts), to have exposure to a position without owning it (generally selling a put to buy a call – often referred to as stock replacement), and periodically to hedge market risk (generally by buying puts in market indices, such as the S&P 500). The purpose of the option strategy is an attempt to generate income and reduce the risk in the portfolio. During the period, this strategy aided relative results.
 
Please see the Derivative Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for a discussion of derivatives used by the Fund.
 
Conclusion
 
The investing climate remains challenging and I fully expect that to continue. Following a multi-decade period of disinflation, many developed economies find themselves with high absolute leverage and, in my view, interest rates that are more likely to trend higher than lower. Unfortunately, peak debt and trough interest rates are a very dangerous combination because the debt a country can service is directly related to interest rates. To the degree they trend higher, the ability to service the debt goes down and forces de-levering. Add in the daunting financial obligations of the aging societies that characterize most of the Western world, and it is clear the coming decade could prove very economically challenging, likely leading to continued volatility in equity markets.
 
However, following a terrible decade for equity returns, many equities are now very attractively valued, particularly when comparing dividend yield to alternatives such as bonds. Equities are always riskier than bonds given their subordinate position in a company’s capital structure, but I believe there are many examples of high quality equities that actually offer better yield and less downside risk than bonds. This may seem counterintuitive, but as investors have poured into bonds due to their perceived “safety”, prices have actually been bid up (and yields bid down) to levels that leave little room for error. As a contrarian, when one side of the ship becomes crowded, I tend to find the other side offers a better risk- reward. In general, as more investors flood out of equities as an asset class, the more attractive their relative valuations become. For this reason, despite the uneven nature of the global economy, I believe investment opportunities remain abundant. Thank you again for your continued investment in Janus Contrarian Fund.

Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses allocated to any class (excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, distribution and shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012. The contractual waiver may be terminated at any time prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Returns shown include fee waivers, if any, and without such waivers, returns would have been lower.
 
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses include dividends or interest on short sales, which are paid to the lender of borrowed securities. Such expenses will vary depending on whether the securities the Fund sells short pay dividends or interest and the amount of such dividends or interest.
 
Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. Contractual waivers agreed to by Janus Capital, where applicable, are included under “Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund has a performance-based management fee that adjusts up or down based on the Fund’s performance relative to an approved benchmark index over a performance measurement period.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with nondiversification, undervalued or overlooked companies, investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), and derivatives. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The Fund invests in REITs, which may be subject to a higher degree of market risk because of concentration in a specific industry, sector or geographic region. REITs may be subject to risks including, but not limited to: legal, political, liquidity, interest rate risks, a decline in the value of real estate, risks related to general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trust and defaults by borrowers. To the extent the Fund invests in foreign REITs, the Fund may be subject to fluctuations in currency rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
The use of short sales may cause the Fund to have higher expenses than those of other equity funds. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including a greater reliance on the investment team’s ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security. The Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale transaction. The Fund’s use of short sales in effect leverages the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund’s use of leverage may result in risks and can magnify the effect of any losses. There is no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful.
 
The Fund held approximately 21.7% of its investments in Indian securities as of September 30, 2010, and the Fund has experienced significant gains due, in part, to its investments in India. While holdings are subject to change without notice, the Fund’s returns and NAV may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in India.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Contrarian Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Contrarian Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.

Class I Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class I Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class I Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.
 
Ranking is for Class T Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.
 
There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.
 
See Notes to Schedules of Investments for index definitions.
 
The Fund’s portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the indices. The indices are unmanaged and are not available for direct investment; therefore, their performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Fund Snapshot
We believe that investing in companies with predictable and sustainable growth can drive consistent returns and allow us to outperform our benchmark and peers over time with moderate risk. We seek to identify mid-cap companies with high quality management teams that wisely allocate capital to fund and drive growth over time.

Performance Overview
 
During the 11 months ended September 30, 2010, Janus Enterprise Fund’s Class T Shares returned 23.02%. Meanwhile, the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, returned 23.21%.
 
Economic Overview
 
U.S. equities recorded strong gains during the 11-month period ended September 30, 2010. A continuation of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s accommodative monetary policy and upbeat economic news paced strong returns during the first half of the period. After reaching its highest level since August of 2008 in late April, the Russell Midcap Growth Index dipped to its lowest level since February in June. Concerns over sovereign debt contagion in Europe, austerity measures that could slow global growth and deteriorating data in U.S. housing, jobs and consumer confidence weighed on investor sentiment. However, the Index rebounded strongly later in the period on modestly improving economic data, indicating the economic recovery continued.
 
Asset Class Overview
 
Small- and mid-cap stocks significantly outperformed large caps during the period with mid-cap growth stocks performing similarly with value. Within the Russell Midcap Growth Index, telecommunications, consumer discretionary and information technology were the best performing sectors, while utilities, energy and financials were relative underperformers.
 
Strategy Overview
 
Correlations between stocks remained elevated during the period as investors appeared focused on asset classes, rather than individual stocks. In such an environment, distinguishing ourselves through stock picking is challenging. Therefore, we continued to reduce the Fund’s number of holdings without significantly changing the risk profile of the Fund in an attempt to better emphasize the names in which we have the highest conviction.
 
We also believe valuations between growth and value stocks are historically narrow, which should make faster growing companies selling at minimum or zero premiums to the overall market a logical focus for investors. In addition, small-cap stocks were trading at historically higher levels relative to large caps. These trends make us comfortable holding names believed to be higher quality, mid-cap companies with growth potential having a bias to the larger end of our market capitalization range.
 
Within the Fund, we were overweight in information technology, particularly electronic equipment and semiconductors with holdings such as Atmel Corp. and ARM Holdings PLC. Our positioning does not reflect a bullish bet on the technology hardware cycle, but rather our view that consumer hardware remains a growth industry driven by innovation, increased electronic content and the emergence of a semiconductor consumer in Asia. At period end, we felt many of the companies have competitive advantages that were ignored by the market. Finally, while many serve volatile end markets, we believe their strong balance sheets with high cash balances may help them weather challenging times. We were also overweight in health care, because there are drug companies and medical device makers that we believe exhibit healthy secular growth dynamics without the patent risk that large-cap pharmaceuticals face.
 
Our holdings and underweight in consumer discretionary were the largest detractors relative to the index during the period followed by our holdings in health care. Individual detractors included Ultra Petroleum Corp., which was negatively impacted by falling natural gas prices. We consider this energy company the lowest-cost producer of natural gas in the U.S., which is particularly critical in a time of low prices for the commodity.
 
Symantec Corp., a leading provider of computer security software, disappointed investors with somewhat lower-than-expected profit margins. We like the company’s competitive position and feel its new CEO will be able to

Janus Growth & Core Funds | 35

better monetize its intellectual property. The company’s valuation as of period end was also undemanding, in our opinion, relative to its prospects.
 
Online printing company VistaPrint N.V. also declined late in the period. The company saw a slowdown in its European market, which we attribute to the macroeconomic environment. We feel its competitive position is still strong and its addressable market remains large. We believe VistaPrint’s business model, which manages thousands of small-volume orders using high-volume printing presses, provides unusual scale and a competitive advantage.
 
Contributors included our holdings and overweight in telecommunications followed by our holdings in energy and materials. Among individual contributors, Atmel Corp. rose almost 114% during the period. The semiconductor company has benefited from a restructuring program and increased investment in its micro-controller business, which has performed well. In addition, the company’s touch platform has proved to be among the best for PC tablets, a new significant growth market within technology.
 
ARM Holdings PLC, the U.K.-based semiconductor intellectual property licensing company, saw its shares jump 154% during the period. The company has experienced increasing royalty revenues from the growth in smart phones and revenue licensing from semiconductor manufacturers. We believe ARM’s dominant market share in low-powered, mobile devices gives it a competitive advantage, as it is difficult for clients to change technology providers once a relationship has been established.
 
Wireless tower communications company Crown Castle International was also a key contributor, as it benefited from growing numbers of tenants on its towers. We think this could continue as wireless service providers work to upgrade their networks in order to meet growing demand for data transmission. We also believe Crown will be able to improve its free cash flow and generate strong returns on invested capital. Its predictable, long-term contract-driven revenue base remains attractive to us.
 
During the period, we initiated forward currency contracts in an attempt to mitigate some of the foreign exchange rate exposure. Please see the Derivative Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for a discussion regarding the use of forward currency contracts by the Fund.
 
Outlook
 
Economic readings continued to be mixed. While the economy has been clearly growing, it has not grown as robustly as it has exiting other post-war recessions. Housing, whether measured by starts, inventory levels, or price, remained weak, and demand for consumer credit has been generally soft. However, emerging market economies continued to grow, driving demand for U.S. exports, and corporate balance sheets have been healthy and cash rich. As of the time of this writing, the U.S. Federal Reserve was considering a second round of quantitative easing in an attempt to lower long-term interest rates and trigger a self-sustaining economic expansion. The consequences of such activity on the inflation and growth rates are difficult to predict, given the lack of detail around the plan and the unique circumstances of our current macroeconomic situation.
 
Given the high level of uncertainty in the economy, the stock market has generally been reactive to the most recent macro data points. Many more stocks have been rising and falling together, with more consideration of the macroeconomic fundamentals than company-specific fundamentals in our view.
 
This has created a myopic market that appears more focused on equities as an asset class rather than on individual securities. Because equities have been trading with such a high degree of correlation, we believe individual stock opportunities have been overlooked. These high levels of correlation are, in our opinion, unlikely to persist when there is a greater degree of clarity in the macroeconomic outlook, whether that clarity is positive or negative. Once the outlook is clearer, investors can again focus on company-specific fundamentals.
 
One metric we consider is the spread in multiples between the 20% of stocks in the market with the highest growth rates and the 20% of stocks in the market with the lowest growth rates. All else equal, the stocks with the highest growth rates should trade at substantial multiple premiums to those with the lowest growth rate. In fact, in general, the multiples today, on forward earnings, have been nearly identical. If these growth companies have high and sustainable returns on capital, they should outperform lower growth, lower return businesses when purchased at nearly the same earnings multiple. Less correlation across the stock market is a key element to drive this outcome.
 
At Janus, while we operate with an awareness, appreciation, and opinion regarding the economy, we believe our strength is our ability to distinguish the securities we think will outperform over the long term. We believe by investing in high return growth companies at valuations that are very reasonable relative to lower growth, lower return companies, we should be able to deliver good risk-adjusted returns. The Janus research team is focused on finding those individual company opportunities.
 
Thank you for your investment in Janus Enterprise Fund.

Performance shown for Class A Shares at Maximum Offering Price (MOP) includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this charge and would have been lower had this charge been taken into account.
 
Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses allocated to any class (excluding the distribution and shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012. The contractual waiver may be terminated at any time prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Returns shown include fee waivers, if any, and without such waivers, returns would have been lower.
 
Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. Contractual waivers agreed to by Janus Capital, where applicable, are included under “Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), and derivatives. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Enterprise Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Enterprise Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class I Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class I Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class I Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.
 
Ranking is for Class T Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.
 
September 3, 1992 is the date used to calculate the since-inception Lipper ranking, which is slightly different from when the Fund began operations since Lipper provides fund rankings as of the last day of the month or the first Thursday after fund inception.
 
See Notes to Schedules of Investments for index definitions.
 
The Fund’s portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the index. The index is unmanaged and is not available for direct investment; therefore, its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Fund Snapshot
We seek to invest in superior business models that exhibit high returns on capital and excess cash flow generation. We focus our analysis on companies we believe have large potential total addressable markets that trade at attractive valuations. We manage focused portfolios that leverage the most compelling large-cap growth ideas of the research team.

Performance Overview
 
For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2010, the Fund’s Class S Shares returned 1.43% versus a return of 12.65% for the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The Fund’s secondary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, returned 10.16% over the same period. This underperformance was largely driven by weak performing selections within financials and industrials. Our holdings in health care and consumer discretionary also detracted from relative results. In terms of contributors, our stock selection in materials and an overweight in telecommunication services aided comparable returns, as did our underweight in energy.
 
Portfolio Manager Comments
 
Uncertainty over the U.S. and global economies drove market volatility during the period as the influence of macroeconomic factors continued to outweigh individual company performance and overall better-than-expected earnings releases. Despite the volatility, U.S. equity markets and the Fund turned in gains during the period. Concerns over the health of the U.S. and global economies, along with the resulting elevated correlations across stock prices remain a dominant theme in the market and have somewhat handicapped the Fund’s relative performance over the year in our view. In addition, large sums of money still sit on the sidelines or in U.S. Treasuries and other fixed income investments. We think strong money flows into fixed income assets over the past several months and the overall hesitation of investors to move into equities have contributed to a difficult market for large-cap equities overall.
 
We continue to believe the individual businesses we own are executing very well as evidenced by strong free cash flows and growing customer bases. For instance, many of our holdings continued to gain market share, demonstrate pricing power and generate high free cash flows. But their valuations have not followed this strong performance. In fact, reactions have been somewhat asymmetric. Companies that beat expectations across the board saw their stocks rise only a few points, while firms that missed the consensus earnings numbers witnessed relatively sharp declines in their stock prices. We think this reflects risk aversion more so than it reveals a healthy spirit of skepticism and that over time, stock prices of our holdings will more closely reflect the long-term cash flow streams and performance of the underlying businesses, which we think will continue to improve.
 
While we are disappointed that the market has not rewarded our holdings for recent strong operating results, we do not focus on short-term results. Our investment philosophy is to invest with conviction in companies that we believe have a multiyear opportunity to grow the value of their enterprises. We do this by focusing on how companies are executing against their long-term strategies. We believe investing with this approach is the best strategy for generating long-term returns for our investors. Despite short-term periods of irrationality, over the long term, stocks tend to move in line with the cash flow generation and strategic execution of businesses.
 
Global companies positioned to benefit from growth in emerging markets, particularly in Asia, remain attractive to us. Some of these include financial services firms, mining companies and consumer product companies. Concerns over financial regulations and reforms and a flattening yield curve have continued to weigh on brokerage companies, such as Charles Schwab, and banks, like Bank of America. While the environment has been somewhat difficult and uncertain for these companies, we believe that these, and our other holdings within the space, are well capitalized and have strong franchises with a history of generating good returns. We believe the market is wrongly discounting the current interest rate and regulatory environment into perpetuity. Companies with differentiated brands, pricing power and a strong and growing market presence, such as Apple and Anheuser-Busch InBev, continued to be top holdings within the portfolio through period end. Anheuser-Busch InBev has been able to raise its prices, improve its free cash flows and pay down debt, while Apple continued its growth, particularly abroad. Crown Castle International has seen

demand for space on its towers rise amid growing demand from wireless carriers to expand and improve network capacity. We remain focused on finding companies we believe have a competitive advantage and strong growth prospects over a multiyear period. We continuously and rigorously test our thesis against new data points and if appropriate, redeploy capital when we think a thesis has been violated. Exiting our long-term position in Research In Motion (RIM), which has been a winner for the Fund overall, is an example of this discipline. While we believe RIM could still be a big beneficiary of growing smart phone usage, we saw a more difficult pricing and competitive environment for the company and felt there were more appealing options elsewhere.
 
Due to certain circumstances and market conditions, we may initiate positions in call and put options in an attempt to hedge risk and generate income for the portfolio. During the period we sold put and call options on individual stocks we owned with the net effect on the Fund being slightly positive. (Please see “Notes to Financial Statements” for information about the hedging techniques used by the Fund.)
 
Stocks that Detracted from Performance
 
Wireless communication device maker RIM trended lower during the period amid disappointing results. As we mentioned above, we decided to sell our position in favor of more compelling opportunities that provide exposure to the trend in the mobile and wireless space.
 
Exposure to the euro and patent risks weighed on shares of Gilead Sciences during the period. We think this biotechnology company has attractive cash flows and growth potential. While we trimmed our exposure during the period, we have confidence in management’s ability to ensure profitability over the long term.
 
Bank of America (BAC), a bank and financial holding company and new position during the period, was another detractor amid continuing concerns over financial reform. We still believe the company has a dominant banking and brokerage franchise. While a lack of clarity surrounding capital requirements and the regulatory environment could continue to represent a headwind for BAC, we think the company is well capitalized with a strong low-cost deposit franchise and in a position to increase loan volume and generate strong returns from its brokerage operations.
 
Stocks that Contributed to Performance
 
Apple Inc. has been a long-term holding in the portfolio and remained a top position largely because of its highly successful line of differentiated mobile computing products, from the iPad to the iPhone, and because of its growing market share in personal computers. The company continues to execute well in our view and may be in the early stages of its market share gains globally. We see Apple continuing to be a dominant player in the smart phone market; its hardware and software integration remains a key driver of its market share gains in the personal computing space.
 
Global brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI) remained a top holding through period end as well. We believe the company continues to execute well and has seen improving pricing power. We think ABI is well positioned and has a strong management team with a history of controlling costs and improving margins.
 
Oracle Corp., an enterprise software company, remains an attractive holding to us because of its recurring maintenance contracts, dominant market share and pricing power. We believe this combination positions it to do well in a variety of economic environments.
 
Outlook
 
Looking ahead, our economic outlook has not changed. We do not expect the U.S. economy to slip into a “double-dip” recession, but we do not see strong economic growth either. Emerging markets are likely to be key drivers of global growth over the near term. It remains unclear to us when money flows could begin to move away from bonds and more towards equities. We think the strong rally in bonds, the resulting low yields and investors’ demand for higher returns make this transition inevitable, but timing remains uncertain. In the meantime, our main focus continues to be individual stock selection and finding companies that are gaining market share profitably. While a better economic backdrop would be a nice tailwind for our holdings, we continue to look for opportunities with company-specific drivers that suggest a long-term distinct competitive advantage, both in the U.S. and abroad.
 
Thank you for your investment in Janus Forty Fund. We look forward to reporting results in the future.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.

Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses allocated to any class (excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, distribution and shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012. The contractual waiver may be terminated at any time prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Returns shown include fee waivers, if any, and without such waivers, returns would have been lower.
 
The fees and expenses shown for all share classes except Class T Shares were determined based on net assets as of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009. Expense information shown for Class T Shares reflects estimated annualized expenses that the Fund share class expects to incur during the fiscal year. Contractual waivers agreed to by Janus Capital, where applicable, are included under “Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund has a performance-based management fee that adjusts up or down based on the Fund’s performance relative to an approved benchmark index over a performance measurement period.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with nondiversification, investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, and derivatives. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
The Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets. In general, emerging market investments have historically been subject to significant gains and/or losses. As such, the Fund’s returns and NAV may be subject to volatility.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Class A Shares of the Fund commenced operations on July 6, 2009, after the reorganization of Class A Shares of Janus Adviser Forty Fund (the “JAD predecessor fund”) into Class A Shares of the Fund. Performance shown for Class A Shares reflects the performance of the JAD predecessor fund’s Class A Shares from September 30, 2004 to July 6, 2009, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class A Shares of the JAD predecessor fund, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers, and the historical performance of the JAD predecessor fund’s Class S Shares (formerly named Class I Shares) from August 1, 2000 to September 30, 2004 (prior to the reorganization).

Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.
 
Ranking is for Class S Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.
 
There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

The Fund’s portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the indices. The indices are unmanaged and are not available for direct investment; therefore, their performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Janus Fund (unaudited)

             

Fund Snapshot
We seek to create a diversified portfolio of high quality large-cap growth companies with a strong emphasis on assessing an opportunity’s risk/reward and potential downside first. We look for durable franchises with consistent and growing free cash flows, high and improving returns on capital, diversified revenue streams and properly incentivized management teams.

Performance Review
 
For the eleven-month period ended September 30, 2010, Janus Fund’s Class T Shares returned 12.10%, underperforming its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 14.20%. The Fund also underperformed its secondary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 12.25%. The Fund underperformed its other benchmark, the Core Growth Index, an internally calculated, hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices that combines total returns from the Russell 1000 Growth Index (50%) and the S&P 500 Index (50%), which returned 13.23% during the period. The underperformance came roughly equally from stock selection and sector weighting. Major detractors relative to the index were our substantial underweight in the consumer discretionary sector and some of our stock picks in financials and health care. An overweight in energy offset our relatively stronger performing holdings within the sector. Our holdings within telecommunications provided the largest boost to relative results during the period.
 
Portfolio Manager Comments
 
Stocks in the U.S. finished the volatile period with the S&P 500 Index turning in solid gains, including its best September performance since 1939. Economic data was mixed while corporate earnings continued to top expectations. Helping sentiment improve late in the period was some upbeat data on the economy. In this environment, mega-cap growth companies underperformed other asset classes with low double-digit returns. Despite the solid returns, U.S. equity markets remained relatively range bound. Correlations among stock prices remain relatively high and poor equity market returns over the last decade have helped to fuel the somewhat negative backdrop for stocks in general. More recently, we have seen little differentiation between the valuation premiums of growth and value stocks, a rare occurrence. And perhaps more telling of the mood of investors has been the little delineation between high and low quality stocks. We think this combination has been a key driver of the Fund’s recent underperformance. Historically, on average growth stocks have traded at a valuation premium over value stocks because of their faster growth. The narrowing of this premium in the current environment seems to suggest investors do not believe there will be much growth. We believe this is too pessimistic, especially for the stocks we own. We believe the current disconnect between the stock price of what we consider to be high quality companies and our estimate of their intrinsic values creates opportunities for long-term investors.
 
While the Fund posted solid returns, we were disappointed by its underperformance. We continue to believe that our fundamental stock picking process has identified very compelling companies with attractive risk/reward scenarios. For example, the top 25 positions in Janus Fund (which comprise about 65% of the assets) traded at meaningful discounts to the market at period end while offering faster earnings growth, higher returns on capital and better free cash flow yields in our view. As equity market correlations subside from near-record levels, we remain hopeful that the market will recognize good growth at attractive valuations and the reward from bottom up stock picking could be meaningful again. Until then, we will continue to search for well positioned companies with attractive valuations.
 
Based on our fundamental belief, we continue to focus on companies we believe have durable franchises with sustainable advantages, predictable and visible cash flow streams and operated by shareholder friendly management teams with the right incentives. Good companies are able to allocate capital prudently and protect their margin structures through an economic cycle. But those characteristics in a vacuum do not necessarily create an attractive investment opportunity. A good company becomes a good stock when there is a misunderstanding that causes the equity to be mispriced.

54 | SEPTEMBER 30, 2010


 

 
(unaudited)

These misunderstandings broadly fall into three categories for us:
 
1.) A lifecycle transition, when a company is pursuing a new strategy to boost value creation and the market has not yet priced that in,
 
2.) management quality and incentives, when a leadership team is able to consistently create value in unanticipated ways that the market misses, and
 
3.) short term noise, when the market is focused on a temporary hiccup that creates a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
 
Apple and Oracle fit into the first category and remained large holdings in the portfolio at period end. We also favor shareholder friendly management teams, like the one at Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI), who we believe has historically allocated capital prudently and efficiently. We believe the incentive structure at ABI has created a culture dedicated to creating value in unanticipated ways.
 
Overall, corporate balance sheets are in great shape and companies were starting to do more with the large sums of cash sitting on their books. We continued to see a trend towards higher dividends, particularly among growth stocks, and greater merger & acquisitions activity (M&A), both of which we think are a positive for equity markets. Dividends may be primed to make a comeback in the minds of growth investors and management teams after a 20-year lull that saw share repurchases dominate thinking. And for good reason: dividends have a long history of making up a large portion of the total return for equities, particularly in range-bound markets. Not all dividends are created equal, however, as some companies are more efficient capital allocators and generate higher returns on that capital than others.
 
During the period, the Fund was long and short options on some individual stocks and indices. The objectives of the derivative strategies are to generate income for the Fund and reduce the impact of a potential downside move in the market. Derivatives added to the Fund’s performance moderately during the period. (Please see “Notes to Financial Statements” for information about the hedging techniques used by the Fund.)
 
Individual Detractors from Performance
 
Our weakest performers in the period were QUALCOMM, Baxter International, Gilead Sciences, Cisco Systems and Petroleo Brasileiro.
 
Qualcomm struggled as competition gained some modest ground in their chipset business and average selling prices of customer devices fell in their licensing business. Given the headwinds, we decided to exit the position. Baxter International underperformed as pricing pressures arose due to industry supply growth in their plasma protein franchise; a proposed merger between two industry participants which we believe would have resulted in a more rational supply/demand balance in the industry was denied by regulators. As a result, we exited that position.
 
Gilead Sciences faced investor doubts about their pipeline opportunities outside of the core HIV franchise. We continue to believe that Gilead’s HIV franchise has innovation opportunities, that the company will innovate in adjacent markets and that they will return capital to shareholders. Cisco Systems struggled as overall demand moderated following a rapid rebound off the depressed levels of 2008 and early 2009 and competitors gained share in a few niche areas. We continue to believe that the growth of mobile data will drive robust demand for network equipment and that Cisco will maintain a leading share of that profit pool. Finally, Petrobras was weak in front of a substantial capital raise tied to the next phase of its development effort in the deep waters offshore of Brazil whereby the Brazilian government transferred exploration assets to the company but also determined the price Petrobras would have to pay. We have exited that position to focus on oil and gas players with less government influence.
 
Individual Contributors to Performance
 
Our five top performers were Apple, Crown Castle International, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Oracle and EOG Resources.
 
Three of the top five contributors have been beneficiaries of explosive growth in digital data – Apple by providing the devices consumers prefer in communicating and consuming information, Crown Castle in providing the cell towers that mobile data travel over and Oracle in offering the databases, middleware and applications to keep track of the burgeoning information flow. Anheuser-Busch InBev, the Fund’s largest holding at period end, continued to execute on its U.S. integration, Brazilian growth strategy and brand building marketing push. Finally, EOG Resources, long perceived to be only a natural gas exploration and production company, has been moving quickly toward a 50/50 production profile between oil and gas, leveraging proprietary technology to tap horizontal oil from U.S. shale assets at unexpectedly high recovery rates.

Outlook
 
The global economy still seems to be on a fragile footing in our opinion, with private sector deleveraging being more than offset by fiscal and monetary stimulus. We don’t share the market’s enthusiasm for nominal liquidity provided by quantitative easing and worry that nearly all countries are trying to export their way to growth at once. We believe this collection of global policy responses heightens long-term inflation risk, distorts the allocation of capital and increases trade tensions.
 
That said, at period end we were of the opinion that the companies in the portfolio had healthy balance sheets, lean cost structures and flexible strategies that could allow them to perform under a variety of macroeconomic outcomes. While there is no guaranteed performance outcome, in a sustained recovery, we believe the firms we favor have a greater chance of surprising on incremental margins and returns. In a plateau or even a double-dip, we feel they have the liquidity to take advantage of weaker competitors. In aggregate, our holdings, which have ranged between 60 and 80 stocks, present what we believe are the best risk/reward opportunities available in the large-cap growth investing universe.
 
Thank you for your investment in Janus Fund.

Contractual waivers agreed to by Janus Capital, where applicable, are included under “Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund has a performance-based management fee that adjusts up or down based on the Fund’s performance relative to an approved benchmark index over a performance measurement period.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings and derivatives. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
The use of short sales may cause the Fund to have higher expenses than those of other equity funds. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including a greater reliance on the investment team’s ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security. The Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale transaction. The Fund’s use of short sales in effect leverages the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund’s use of leverage may result in risks and can magnify the effect of any losses. There is no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class I Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class I Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class I Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.
 
Ranking is for Class T Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.

Janus Growth and Income Fund (unaudited)

             

Fund Snapshot
We seek to generate capital appreciation and income through investing in a diversified portfolio of equities and income-generating assets. We primarily focus our analysis on larger, well-established companies with predictable, sustainable earnings growth and high returns on capital.

Performance Overview
 
For the eleven-month period ended September 30, 2010, Janus Growth and Income Fund’s Class T Shares returned 8.79% as compared to a 12.25% return for the Fund’s primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, and a 14.20% return for it its secondary benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.
 
Portfolio Manager Comments
 
The past eleven months can be categorized by a strengthening corporate sector, uneven economic growth and elevated correlations across stocks and sectors. Volatility increased as investors balanced better-than-expected corporate profits with an uncertain economic environment. However, we saw some stability and signs of life in the corporate sector later in the period while consumer spending remained relatively soft. Corporate health remained strong and companies were starting to do a little more with the large sums of cash sitting on their balance sheets – like returning it to shareholders in the form of dividends and/or increasing capital expenditures. At the margin, economic data in the U.S. was a little more upbeat, mainly in the latter part of the period, but still somewhat weak in terms of where it usually is at this point in a typical economic recovery. The same can be said for Europe, which saw some better-than-expected improvements late in the period. While we were encouraged by the expanding business activity and a little more bullish on the economy, we still believe the U.S. and global economies face many challenges that are likely to result in more muted growth over the near term. Emerging markets are likely to be a leading source of this growth until more developed regions work through some of these challenges and as domestic demand for these developing countries matures. Although we did take a more cyclical stance in the portfolio later in the period, we still believe the challenging environment elevates the importance of finding efficient value-creating global businesses.
 
Our research and recent discussions with management teams pointed to a steady progression in business spending and orders for large U.S. multinational companies, leading us to lower our exposure in more defensive names and raise our exposure to companies in generally more cyclical industries, such as industrials. We also added to some consumer discretionary stocks in anticipation of a rebound in the consumer that may follow the increased business activity. Stocks in the U.S. finished the volatile period with solid gains, turning in their best September performance since 1939. Small- and mid-cap growth companies outperformed other asset classes during the eleven months. Large-cap or mega-cap stocks lagged during the period, which given the Fund’s large-cap growth tilt, played a role in its underperformance relative to the U.S. market.
 
We favored companies with a large emerging market presence as we believe these markets will see strong growth in per capita income and a maturing middle class over the long term. Our holdings in consumer staples and to some extent industrials fit this category quite well as a large portion of their revenue growth comes from developing countries. Mobility and growing demand for smart phones remained a theme in the portfolio and we have favored companies with exposure to different aspects of this trend, from manufacturers to semiconductors and service providers. Within financials, we continued to see healing in the financial system and were holding positions in firms we think will do well in a tighter regulatory environment, despite their recent underperformance. Banks continue to improve their capital structures and we feel that many of our holdings are well capitalized and could benefit from a recovery in the U.S. consumer.
 
Our more bullish stance towards the end of the period was predicated on improving macro data points and seeing an increase in business activity at the individual company level. We think the risk of a double-dip recession and a deflationary spiral are lower than they were earlier in the year, especially since the Federal Reserve has continued to indicate its willingness to do whatever it

takes to fight deflation – even if it means sparking a little inflation. In terms of equities, we believe valuations were very reasonable at period end. Dividend and free cash flow yields on stocks were relatively attractive compared to U.S. Treasuries. In some cases, we have seen the dividend yield on a stock exceed the yield on the same company’s corporate debt. Because equity positions in companies generally offer growth opportunities, we think this makes a compelling case for owning stocks, particularly dividend payers. After what has been nearly 20 years of dividends taking a backseat to capital gains in the minds of most investors and given the potential for the challenging investment environment to linger, we believe dividends will return to play a more prominent role in the total returns provided by equities.
 
Detractors
 
A variety of issues from European sovereign debt exposure to a slumping consumer and uncertainty surrounding the impact of financial reform have weighed on shares of Morgan Stanley and Bank of America (BAC) over the last several months. We believe investment bank/brokerage firm Morgan Stanley has a very good wealth management business which will become an increasing percentage of the overall company’s earnings. We think BAC can work through the challenges resulting from a low interest rate environment and that it can continue to generate earnings and build capital. Ultimately, we expect BAC to be in a position to return capital to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases.
 
Enterprise software company Cisco Systems declined during the period. The company continued to take market share in its core router and switching businesses as well as grow its presence in adjacent markets. As network traffic grows 50% per year, we believe Cisco’s revenue growth expectations of 12-17% are achievable. We view Cisco as a high quality, well managed company that has been gaining market share and whose share price does not reflect the company’s growth opportunity.
 
Contributors
 
Apple, Inc. was the top contributor amid continued market share gains in the personal computers, smart phones and other new product areas, namely the iPad. We believe the company continued to execute well amid positive product momentum and better-than-expected revenues. Apple’s stock price remained attractive to us given the company’s large cash position, strong and improving margins and long term earnings growth.
 
Oracle Corp., an enterprise software company, remains an attractive holding to us because of its recurring maintenance contracts, historically dominant market share and pricing power. When it comes to IT spending, Oracle’s products and services are generally the least discretionary item, or less prone to be cut by businesses.
 
Philip Morris International, a maker of tobacco products, was a top position in the Fund at period end. We like the company’s very attractive dividend yield, strong balance sheet and historic ability to generate free cash flows. We also think the company has pricing power and growth prospects through expansion in emerging markets.
 
Outlook
 
We remain committed to finding companies with strong free cash flows, improving margins and leaner capital structures. We like companies that run more efficiently because of the potential for them to generate higher free cash flows and earn greater returns on the capital deployed. We think this combination generally provides firms with the flexibility to return cash to shareholders, perhaps in the form of dividends, without sacrificing their growth prospects. With interest rates low and investors’ need for higher returns to meet their long-term savings goals, equities remain an appealing option in our view.

Performance shown for Class A Shares at Maximum Offering Price (MOP) includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this charge and would have been lower had this charge been taken into account.
 
Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses allocated to any class (excluding the distribution and shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012. The contractual waiver may be terminated at any time prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Returns shown include fee waivers, if any, and without such waivers, returns would have been lower.
 
Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. Contractual waivers agreed to by Janus Capital, where applicable, are included under “Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with undervalued or overlooked companies, investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), and derivatives. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The Fund invests in REITs which may be subject to a higher degree of market risk because of concentration in a specific industry, sector or geographic region. REITs may be subject to risks including, but not limited to: legal, political, liquidity, interest rate risks, a decline in the value of real estate, risks related to general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trust and defaults by borrowers. To the extent the Fund invests in foreign REITs, the Fund may be subject to fluctuations in currency rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Growth and Income Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Growth and Income Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class I Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class I Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class I Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.
 
Ranking is for Class T Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.

Janus Research Core Fund (unaudited)

             

Fund Snapshot
Analyst-driven, team-refined investment process attempts to capture the value of our research and manage investment risk. We believe a portfolio reflecting our team’s best ideas can deliver superior risk-adjusted results.
          Team Based Approach
Led by Jim Goff,
Director of Research

 
Performance Overview
 
For the 11-month period ended September 30, 2010, Janus Research Core Fund’s Class T Shares returned 9.23%, as compared to a 12.25% return for its primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, and a 14.20% return for its secondary benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.
 
Economic Overview
 
Despite the weak economy, corporate margins, earnings and free cash flow were strong. Corporate cash levels were at a 50-year high, but, investment as a share of gross domestic product was at a 50-year low. With some signs of policy certainty, and more confidence, we believe the economy could strengthen. One plausible scenario we see is that corporations increase employment, wages, and capital spending; while mergers, stock buybacks, and dividends rise, fueled by low rates from the bond market. With an improving corporate sector, we think consumer confidence should improve, resulting in higher spending. Ultimately, this scenario should benefit the stock market. We think the starting point is good, as the market has focused on the uncertainty of the situation, and priced in a lot of bad news. Valuation and history have been on the stock market’s side. There appear to be modest expectations, and the gap between earnings yields and Treasury yields is as high as it has been in 30 years. Stocks have tended to do well after extended periods of poor performance. Historically, after a significant increase in the stock market, flows into equities have improved.
 
Sector Views
 
Based on our seven research sectors, industrials had the strongest relative performance, followed by consumer. Our bottom-up approach puts us in touch with thousands of companies and industry participants, and we use those conversations, surveys and other research tools to gain a broader outlook on sectors.
 
Communications
 
The strength of the advertising recovery surprised the market; although our surveys and research had anticipated much of this improvement. As advertisers returned to the task of brand building, they shifted spending to the successful combination of television and Internet. As the line between these medium further blurs, we expect the demand for traditional media content to grow. On the distribution side, mobile data usage accelerated, driven by the increased penetration of smartphones and other new devices. Tower companies benefited because mobile operators must add network capacity to their networks.
 
Consumer
 
We saw strength in both high-end and low-end retailers, but there was weakness in the middle. High unemployment pushed middle-market shoppers towards the low-end retailers. Sales were heavily event- or holiday-driven, with consumers showing little resistance to paying full price for discretionary items. This explained good back-to-school numbers, and we believe was a sign that consumers will be out shopping for the holidays. In Europe, demand was largely resilient and stable, despite the feared impact from sovereign debt volatility and austerity plans.
 
Energy
 
We remained bullish long-term on oil prices, but cautious on some near-term areas. Near-term concerns include i) below normal global economic growth, ii) high levels of inventory and iii) spare productive capacity. Global political uncertainty may support oil prices, but given inventory levels, we likely need global demand to pick up for prices to strengthen. Longer term, we believe that as the global economy normalizes, oil demand will indeed pick up and sop up these excesses. The well documented woes of the natural-gas market continued. Economic weakness depressed demand, while new technology unlocked large volume growth potential.
 
Financials
 
The passage of U.S. financial reform and reduced uncertainty about global capital standards under the Basel 3 guidelines provided some regulatory clarity, but the economic uncertainty continued to weigh on the sector. Financials struggled to show significant profit growth in the face of modest loan demand, and a historically low and flattening yield curve. On the positive side, credit

quality continued to improve, and merger and acquisition activity increased.
 
Health care
 
Generally speaking, health care stocks were cheap and unloved by investors. After terrible performance over the summer due to fears about health care utilization, and more broadly about a double-dip recession, it felt as if investors became more comfortable about the outlook. Some of the lower utilization reduction stemmed from fewer cases of H1N1, from plan changes, and from the expiration of extended insurance coverage, or COBRA, for those who lost jobs. Some of these issues should be mitigated as we get into 2011. Still, we were not convinced these factors explained the full story. Some of the issues, such as low employment, increased cost shifting to patients and overall economic conditions may linger.
 
Industrials
 
The industrial data late in the period was positive and the probability of a double-dip recession declined. All regions of the world experienced positive growth, even in Europe, despite austerity programs. The ongoing recovery benefited the industrials sector and its cyclical exposure. Even the worst hit end-market, construction, appeared to have bottomed. Existing home sales and construction in the U.S. remained depressed, but showed early signs of a recovery.
 
Technology
 
Long-term, the key theme in technology remained the cautious information technology (IT) spending by corporations, and longer term trends favoring those companies that can earn a larger share of the money spent on new technology. Shorter term, an important theme was what we call “tablet mania.” The sweeping success of the iPad has broad implications for the sector beyond just for Apple, Inc. The iPad will likely have the most successful first year adoption of any product. This success, puts long-term pressure on the traditional infrastructure of Windows-based PCs and the components suppliers to this area; while opening up opportunities for those companies that are able to address this growing market.
 
Holdings Overview
 
Detractors relative to the index included our holdings in industrials, financials and health care. Our three largest individual detractors were in financials.
 
Bank of America suffered from disappointing revenue growth and concerns over the impact of financial regulatory reform. We consider the bank to be one of the top franchises in U.S. deposits, wealth management and mortgage banking. In addition, we think it has attractive return on tangible common equity potential and is well positioned to benefit from further improvement in credit conditions and capital levels.
 
Financial reform also weighed on Morgan Stanley’s shares. The financial holding company continued to repair its balance sheet from the financial crisis and demonstrated good growth in both capital and underwriting in its investment banking business. We believe Morgan Stanley will continue to gain market share and that management is focused on capital allocation and unlocking value across its businesses.
 
In addition, JPMorgan Chase & Co. was among key detractors. One of the largest banks in the U.S., JPMorgan has leading market shares in retail banking, investment banking, credit cards, asset management and mortgage banking among others.
 
Contributors included our holdings in technology and communications. Individual contributors included oil and gas exploration and production company EOG Resources, Inc., which posted strong returns. Our thesis had been that the market didn’t fully appreciate the value of its horizontal shale oil and liquids efforts. EOG gave a comprehensive view of these assets during their analyst day early in 2010, and much of that upside was captured. Although we believed EOG had additional upside, we sold the position in order to make room for other ideas.
 
Another contributor, wireless tower company Crown Castle International Corp. generated strong returns. Driving Crown Castle’s strong returns on its towers has been rising demand for wireless bandwidth. We think this can continue and that the market has not recognized the potential growth the company could generate.
 
Apple, Inc. also moved steadily higher during the period. The computer and mobile device maker has continued to demonstrate sales strength in its international markets and market share gains in all of its product segments.

Outlook
 
We are committed to the success of Janus Research Core Fund – as managers and as investors. Janus analysts and I have substantial funds in Janus’ U.S. and global research portfolios. We believe this alignment with our shareholders is a good reminder of our commitment to our process. We have a top-notch investment team and a disciplined and repeatable investment process that attempts to capture the value of our research in a highly diversified portfolio. We will go through some periods of underperformance, but by staying disciplined and when needed by staying above the panic, we hope to reward long-term investors with continued strong risk-adjusted returns.
 
Thank you for your investment in Janus Research Core Fund.

Performance shown for Class A Shares at Maximum Offering Price (MOP) includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this charge and would have been lower had this charge been taken into account.
 
Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses allocated to any class (excluding the distribution and shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to certain limits until at least February 16, 2011. The contractual waiver may be terminated at any time prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Returns shown include fee waivers, if any, and without such waivers, returns would have been lower.
 
Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. Contractual waivers agreed to by Janus Capital, where applicable, are included under “Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), and derivatives. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The Fund invests in REITs, which may be subject to a higher degree of market risk because of concentration in a specific industry, sector or geographic region. REITs may be subject to risks including, but not limited to: legal, political, liquidity, interest rate risks, a decline in the value of real estate, risks related to general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trust and defaults by borrowers. To the extent the Fund invests in foreign REITs, the Fund may be subject to fluctuations in currency rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Research Core Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Research Core Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class I Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class I Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class I Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.
 
Ranking is for Class T Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.

Janus Research Fund (unaudited)

             

Fund Snapshot
Our analyst-driven, team-refined investment process attempts to capture the value of our research, and manage investment risk. We believe that a portfolio reflecting our team’s best ideas can deliver superior risk-adjusted results.
          Team Based Approach
Led by Jim Goff
Director of Research

 
Performance Overview
 
For the eleven-month period ended September 30, 2010, Janus Research Fund’s Class T Shares returned 17.40%, as compared to a 14.20% return for its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, and a 12.25% return for its secondary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. We were pleased with our performance during the period.
 
Economic Overview
 
Despite the weak economy, corporate margins, earnings and free cash flow were strong. Corporate cash levels were at a 50-year high, but, investment as a share of gross domestic product was at a 50-year low. With some signs of policy certainty, and more confidence, we believe the economy could strengthen. One plausible scenario we see is that corporations increase employment, wages, and capital spending; while mergers, stock buybacks, and dividends rise, fueled by low rates from the bond market. With an improving corporate sector, we think consumer confidence should improve, resulting in higher spending. Ultimately, this scenario should benefit the stock market. We think the starting point is good, as the market has focused on the uncertainty of the situation, and priced in a lot of bad news. Valuation and history have been on the stock market’s side. There appear to be modest expectations, and the gap between earnings yields and Treasury yields is as high as it has been in 30 years. Stocks have tended to do well after extended periods of poor performance. Historically, after a significant increase in the stock market, flows into equities have improved.
 
Sector Views
 
Based on our seven research sectors, industrials had the strongest relative performance, followed by consumer. Our bottom-up approach puts us in touch with thousands of companies and industry participants, and we use those conversations, surveys and other research tools to gain a broader outlook on sectors.
 
Communications
 
The strength of the advertising recovery surprised the market; although our surveys and research had anticipated much of this improvement. As advertisers returned to the task of brand building, they shifted spending to the successful combination of television and Internet. As the line between these medium further blurs, we expect the demand for traditional media content to grow. On the distribution side, mobile data usage accelerated, driven by the increased penetration of smartphones and other new devices. Tower companies benefited because mobile operators must add network capacity to their networks.
 
Consumer
 
We saw strength in both high-end and low-end retailers, but there was weakness in the middle. High unemployment pushed middle-market shoppers towards the low-end retailers. Sales were heavily event- or holiday-driven, with consumers showing little resistance to paying full price for discretionary items. This explained good back-to-school numbers, and we believe was a sign that consumers will be out shopping for the holidays. In Europe, demand was largely resilient and stable, despite the feared impact from sovereign debt volatility and austerity plans.
 
Energy
 
We remained bullish long-term on oil prices, but cautious on some near-term areas. Near-term concerns include i) below normal global economic growth, ii) high levels of inventory and iii) spare productive capacity. Global political uncertainty may support oil prices, but given inventory levels, we likely need global demand to pick up for prices to strengthen. Longer term, we believe that as the global economy normalizes, oil demand will indeed pick up and sop up these excesses. The well documented woes of the natural-gas market continued. Economic weakness depressed demand, while new technology unlocked large volume growth potential.
 
Financials
 
The passage of U.S. financial reform and reduced uncertainty about global capital standards under the Basel 3 guidelines provided some regulatory clarity, but the economic uncertainty continued to weigh on the sector. Financials struggled to show significant profit growth in

the face of modest loan demand, and a historically low and flattening yield curve. On the positive side, credit quality continued to improve, and merger and acquisition activity increased.
 
Health care
 
Generally speaking, health care stocks were cheap and unloved by investors. After terrible performance over the summer due to fears about health care utilization, and more broadly about a double-dip recession, it felt as if investors became more comfortable about the outlook. Some of the lower utilization reduction stemmed from fewer cases of H1N1, from plan changes, and from the expiration of extended insurance coverage, or COBRA, for those who lost jobs. Some of these issues should be mitigated as we get into 2011. Still, we were not convinced these factors explained the full story. Some of the issues, such as low employment, increased cost shifting to patients and overall economic conditions may linger.
 
Industrials
 
The industrial data late in the period was positive and the probability of a double-dip recession declined. All regions of the world experienced positive growth. Even in Europe, despite austerity programs. The ongoing recovery benefited the industrials sector and its cyclical exposure. Even the worst hit end-market, construction, appeared to have bottomed. Existing home sales and construction in the U.S. remained depressed, but showed early signs of a recovery.

Long-term, the key theme in technology remained the cautious information technology (IT) spending by corporations, and longer term trends favoring those companies that can earn a larger share of the money spent on new technology. Shorter term, an important theme was what we call “tablet mania.” The sweeping success of the iPad has broad implications for the sector beyond just for Apple, Inc. The iPad will likely have the most successful first year adoption of any product. This success, puts long-term pressure on the traditional infrastructure of Windows-based PCs and the components suppliers to this area; while opening up opportunities for those companies that are able to address this growing market.
 
Holdings Overview
 
Our relative outperformance during the period was largest in technology followed by energy and consumer. Our three largest individual contributors were in technology.
 
ARM Holdings PLC was a top contributor. The U.K.-based semiconductor intellectual property licensing company has experienced increasing royalty revenues from the growth in smart phones, which routinely use ARM-based chips.
 
Apple, Inc. also moved steadily higher during the period. The computer and mobile device maker has continued to demonstrate sales strength in its international markets and market share gains in all of its product segments.
 
Semiconductor maker Atmel Corp. was also a key contributor. We remain attracted to the company given its potential to generate high returns on capital and accelerating free cash flows. We think the company’s microcontroller products can continue to take market share.
 
Detractors relative to the index included our holdings in health care, financials and communications. Within health care, Myriad Genetics, Inc. was weak. The molecular diagnostic equipment company’s ability to penetrate ends markets, particularly in obstetrics/gynecology and oncology, was not as strong as we had hoped. In addition, the company’s products were more economically sensitive than we anticipated; we sold the position.
 
Roche Pharmaceuticals, Inc. also weighed on performance. The Switzerland-based company was hit by several drug pipeline setbacks, but we continued to consider it as one of the best positioned pharmaceutical companies with strong long-term prospects.
 
Security software maker Symantec Corp. was another key detractor. We sold Symantec during the period because of a number of developments which reduced our confidence in management’s abilities to deliver the levels of free cash flow which we had previously forecast.

Performance shown for Class A Shares at Maximum Offering Price (MOP) includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this charge and would have been lower had this charge been taken into account.
 
Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund has a performance-based management fee that adjusts up or down based on the Fund’s performance relative to an approved benchmark index over a performance measurement period.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), and derivatives. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The Fund invests in REITs, which may be subject to a higher degree of market risk because of concentration in a specific industry, sector or geographic region. REITs may be subject to risks including, but not limited to: legal, political, liquidity, interest rate risks, a decline in the value of real estate, risks related to general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trust and defaults by borrowers. To the extent the Fund invests in foreign REITs, the Fund may be subject to fluctuations in currency rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Research Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Research Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class I Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, the initial share class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class I Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class I Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.
 
Ranking is for Class T Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.
 
May 6, 1993 is the date used to calculate the since-inception Lipper ranking, which is slightly different from when the Fund began operations since Lipper provides fund rankings as of the last day of the month or the first Thursday after fund inception.
 
There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

Fund Snapshot
We believe a fundamentally-driven investment process focused on identifying smaller cap companies with differentiated business models and sustainable competitive advantages will drive outperformance against our benchmark and peers over time. Identifying strong small cap companies with the potential to hold our positions as they grow into the mid cap space allows us the flexibility to capture a longer growth period in a company’s life cycle.

Performance Overview
 
For the 11-month period ended September 30, 2010, Janus Triton Fund’s Class T Shares returned 26.74%. Meanwhile, the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth Index, returned 24.09%.
 
Last year, we communicated to you that our mission is to invest in companies that we believe are in control of their own destiny and not solely reliant upon an economic recovery to generate strong financial results. As we reflect on the past year, we believe we were able to fulfill this mission as many of our investments were able to not only weather the downturn but also emerge in even stronger positions with promising outlooks.
 
Deleveraging and its Impact on the Economy
 
Our opinion remains that the overall economy faces many challenges and, as we have suggested in the past, the transition from a leveraging environment (consumers taking on more debt) to a deleveraging environment (consumers paying down debt) will likely have a dampening effect on overall economic growth. Despite this tepid view of the economy, we believe there are always unique and exciting opportunities in the domestic small cap growth segment of the market given the innovation and ingenuity present in the U.S. We believe our research process and philosophy are well-suited to this environment and we continue to find high-quality, small-cap growth companies in which to invest your capital.
 
In terms of the deleveraging process, we believe more time is required for it to run its course. Household debt as a percentage of disposable income continues on a downward trajectory but still remains at elevated levels relative to historical standards. At the end of the second quarter of 2010, household debt as a percentage of disposable income stood at 119%, which is down from a peak of 130% at the end of the third quarter of 2007 but above the average of 75% since the early 1950s. Quite simply, consumers are forsaking consumption in favor of debt repayment. The savings rate as of August 2010 has increased to 5.8%, which is significantly above the low single digit (1 to 3%) range experienced during the middle part of the decade that helped create the credit bubble. Consumers are also faced with additional challenges, most notably high rates of unemployment and a prolonged housing malaise that continues to pressure housing values. As a result, consumer confidence measures remain at depressed levels that are more indicative of a recessionary environment than an expansionary one.
 
However, against this challenged backdrop, our research process has been able to uncover companies that are not only performing well but are actually setting records in terms of revenue and profit generation. Polaris Industries, Inc. is a great example of a company that defies logic with its record-setting results. Polaris is a U.S. manufacturer of recreational products – ATV’s, side-by-sides, snowmobiles, and motorcycles. Despite the highly discretionary nature of its products and the challenging consumer environment, Polaris is on track in 2010 to deliver the highest level of sales and profits in the company’s history. Polaris has delivered over 25% revenue growth through the first three quarters of the year and over 50% earnings per share growth. The company has been able to deliver record results primarily from market share gains as a result of continued product innovation, product line extensions, and new market and international expansion efforts. In addition, Polaris has revolutionized its supply chain and manufacturing capability with its Max Velocity Program that enables its dealer network to order product two times per month versus the industry standard of two times per year. This enables Polaris and its dealers to stock the most desired products and always keep inventory current and fresh. We believe the company’s manufacturing and supply chain are key differentiators that will enable Polaris to perform well despite the overall industry headwinds.

Opportunities in the Industrial Sector
 
Our research efforts in the industrial sector have uncovered some equally unique growth opportunities. The overall industrial economy, while much improved from the nadir of early 2009, remains below peak levels experienced in late 2007 and still faces challenges due to depressed economic activity. Industrial capacity utilization has improved to the mid 70% range but, like consumer confidence, this level is more indicative of a recessionary environment than an expansionary one. While many of our industrial holdings are more sensitive to the vagaries of the macro environment, we believe the true measure of performance should be measured over a business cycle. To this end, we have found many investment opportunities within the industrial sector that we consider to be “cyclical share gainers” by having the ability to generate strong performance and above average market growth over the business cycle. The common thread among these companies is their historical ability to capitalize on the macro weakness and not only weather but potentially prosper from the downturn.
 
Our investments in the industrial distribution sector help illustrate this point. MSC Industrial Direct Co. is a national distributor of industrial products for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) supplies. The overall industry is characterized by an extremely fragmented competitive set which can create opportunities for well-capitalized companies such as MSC. While MSC certainly had to endure its share of pain during the initial phases of the recession, the company has once again emerged as a clear leader in our opinion, taking market share and delivering record results. In its most recent quarter, MSC set a quarterly revenue record and profits are almost back to peak levels. The performance is impressive when compared to Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization figures, which are still below the peak results set in 2007. While our investment in MSC has not been a linear ride, our research and patience have certainly paid off. We believe patience can be a key virtue of successful investing, especially when analyzing companies that exhibit an element of cyclicality and a higher degree of sensitivity to the broader macro environment. To this end, we believe our disciplined process coupled with our long-term time horizon leads us to many unique growth opportunities that others may miss.
 
A couple of our Industrial holdings were key detractors from portfolio performance during the period. Ritchie Brothers Auctioneers, Inc. (RBA) is a global industrial auction company with size and scale advantages that are paramount to the overall competitive position of the auction business model. RBA declined modestly during the period despite a relatively stable top-line, which was offset by increased investment in the business model (new information technology platform and more sales professionals) by the management team. As a result, earnings should likely decline in 2010 but we believe these investments will help position the company for continued success as it attempts to further increase its market share from the single digit percentage range. We continue to hold our position and believe patience is justified for this high-quality company and business model.
 
Key Contributors and Detractors
 
Atmel Corp., a holding in the Fund since late 2007, rose almost 114% in the period to make it a key contributor. The semiconductor maker recently completed the final steps in a multi-year restructuring through which it divested high-cost fabrication plants and low-margin business units. The microcontroller unit that remains is an excellent business in our opinion with high margins, strong growth prospects, and improving returns on capital. Additionally, a newly introduced product called maXTouch is gaining significant market share in devices that incorporate touch screens. We believe that the outlook for Atmel remains very good.
 
Euronet Worldwide, Inc., a global provider of electronic payment solutions, was a detractor during the period. Given Euronet’s global presence and foreign currency exposure, reported results are sensitive to changes in foreign exchange rates. This created a headwind during the first half of 2010, as the U.S. dollar began to appreciate against other currencies. Euronet was also impacted by a regulatory change in Poland that reduced the revenue and profit generation of its ATM network in this country. Despite these issues, we believe Euronet’s fundamental competitive position and global growth prospects remain promising.
 
Blackboard, Inc. also weighed on performance during the period. Despite some operational issues in the quarter ending June 2010 we continue to be excited about the Fund’s investment in Blackboard owing to the company’s dominant competitive position, recurring revenue business model, and large addressable market. Low customer churn coupled with the company’s historical ability to consistently raise prices demonstrate the value customers see in Blackboard’s products. As with Ritchie Brothers, we continue to hold our position in Blackboard and believe patience is justified for this high quality company and business model.

Final Thoughts
 
Our goal is to build an all weather portfolio that can deliver attractive risk adjusted returns through a variety of macro environments. To this end, we continue to rely on an investment process centered on companies we believe have sustainable competitive advantages, large addressable markets, high quality business models, and attractive risk-reward profiles. While we think the macro environment poses challenges in the near-term, this will certainly not always be the case. We believe our research process and philosophy are well positioned to capitalize on investment opportunities even as the U.S. experiences lower levels of growth relative to its history.
 
Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Triton Fund.

Janus Triton Fund (unaudited)

 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses allocated to any class (excluding the distribution and shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares), administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to certain limits until at least February 1, 2012. The contractual waiver may be terminated at any time prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Returns shown include fee waivers, if any, and without such waivers, returns would have been lower.
 
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses include dividends or interest on short sales, which are paid to the lender of borrowed securities. Such expenses will vary depending on whether the securities the Fund sells short pay dividends or interest and the amount of such dividends or interest.
 
Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. Contractual waivers agreed to by Janus Capital, where applicable, are included under “Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses.” 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, derivatives, short sales, and companies with relatively small market capitalizations. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The use of short sales may cause the Fund to have higher expenses than those of other equity funds. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including a greater reliance on the investment team’s ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security. The Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale transaction. The Fund’s use of short sales in effect leverages the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund’s use of leverage may result in risks and can magnify the effect of any losses. There is no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful.
 
Due to certain investment strategies, the Fund may have an increased position in cash.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Triton Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Triton Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for the periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class I Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class I Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class I Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.
 
February 28, 2005 is the date used to calculate the since-inception Lipper ranking, which is slightly different from when the Fund began operations since Lipper provides fund rankings as of the last day of the month or the first Thursday after fund inception.
 
Ranking is for Class T Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.
 
There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.
 
See Notes to Schedules of Investments for index definitions.
 
The Fund’s portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the index. The index is unmanaged and is not available for direct investment; therefore, its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Fund Snapshot
We seek to invest in superior business models that exhibit high returns on capital and excess cash flow generation. We focus our analysis on companies we believe have large potential total addressable markets that trade at attractive valuations. We manage focused portfolios that leverage the most compelling large-cap growth ideas of the research team.

Performance Overview
 
For the eleven-month period ended September 30, 2010, the Fund’s Class T Shares returned 5.84% versus a return of 14.20% for the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The Fund’s secondary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, returned 12.25% over the same period. This underperformance was largely driven by weak performing selections within financials and industrials. Our holdings in consumer discretionary and health care also detracted from relative results. In terms of contributors, our stock selection in information technology, materials and an overweight in telecommunication services aided comparable returns.
 
Portfolio Manager Comments
 
Uncertainty over the U.S. and global economies drove market volatility during the period as the influence of macroeconomic factors continued to outweigh individual company performance and overall better-than-expected earnings releases. Despite the volatility, U.S. equity markets and the Fund turned in gains during the period. Concerns over the health of the U.S. and global economies, along with the resulting elevated correlations across stock prices remain a dominant theme in the market and have somewhat handicapped the Fund’s relative performance over the year in our view. In addition, large sums of money still sit on the sidelines or in U.S. Treasuries and other fixed income investments. We think strong money flows into fixed income assets over the past several months and the overall hesitation of investors to move into equities have contributed to a difficult market for large-cap equities overall.
 
We continue to believe the individual businesses we own are executing very well as evidenced by strong free cash flows and growing customer bases. For instance, many of our holdings continued to gain market share, demonstrate pricing power and generate high free cash flows. But their valuations have not followed this strong performance. In fact, reactions have been somewhat asymmetric. Companies that beat expectations across the board saw their stocks rise only a few points, while firms that missed the consensus earnings numbers witnessed relatively sharp declines in their stock prices. We think this reflects risk aversion more so than it reveals a healthy spirit of skepticism and that over time, stock prices of our holdings will more closely reflect the long-term cash flow streams and performance of the underlying businesses, which we think will continue to improve.
 
While we are disappointed that the market has not rewarded our holdings for recent strong operating results, we do not focus on short-term results. Our investment philosophy is to invest with conviction in companies that we believe have a multiyear opportunity to grow the value of their enterprises. We do this by focusing on how companies are executing against their long-term strategies. We believe investing with this approach is the best strategy for generating long-term returns for our investors. Despite short-term periods of irrationality, over the long term, stocks tend to move in line with the cash flow generation and strategic execution of businesses.
 
Global companies positioned to benefit from growth in emerging markets, particularly in Asia, remain attractive to us. Some of these include financial services firms, mining companies and consumer product companies. Concerns over financial regulations and reforms and a flattening yield curve have continued to weigh on brokerage companies, such as Charles Schwab, and banks, like Bank of America. While the environment has been somewhat difficult and uncertain for these companies, we believe that these, and our other holdings within the space, are well capitalized and have strong franchises with a history of generating good returns. We believe the market is wrongly discounting the current interest rate and regulatory environment into perpetuity. Companies with differentiated brands, pricing power and a strong and growing market presence, such as Apple and Anheuser-Busch InBev, continued to be top holdings within the portfolio through period end. Anheuser-Busch InBev has been able to raise its prices, improve its free cash flows and pay down debt, while Apple continued its growth, particularly abroad. Crown Castle has seen demand for

space on its towers rise amid growing demand from wireless carriers to expand and improve network capacity. We remain focused on finding companies we believe have a competitive advantage and strong growth prospects over a multiyear period. We continuously and rigorously test our thesis against new data points and if appropriate, redeploy capital when we think a thesis has been violated. Exiting our long-term position in Research In Motion (RIM), which has been a winner for the Fund overall, is an example of this discipline. While we believe RIM could still be a big beneficiary of growing smart phone usage, we saw a more difficult pricing and competitive environment for the company and felt there were more appealing options elsewhere.
 
Due to certain circumstances and market conditions, we may initiate positions in call and put options in an attempt to hedge risk and generate income for the portfolio. During the period we sold put and call options on individual stocks we owned with the net effect on the Fund being slightly positive. (Please see “Notes to Financial Statements” for information about the hedging techniques used by the Fund.)
 
Stocks that Detracted from Performance
 
Wireless communication device maker RIM trended lower during the period amid disappointing results. As we mentioned above, we decided to sell our position in favor of more compelling opportunities that provide exposure to the trend in the mobile and wireless space.
 
Exposure to the euro and patent risks weighed on shares of Gilead Sciences, Inc. during the period. We think this biotechnology company has attractive cash flows and growth potential. While we trimmed our exposure during the period, we have confidence in management’s ability to ensure profitability over the long term.
 
Bank of America (BAC), a bank and financial holding company and new position during the period, was another detractor amid continuing concerns over financial reform. We still believe the company has a dominant banking and brokerage franchise. While a lack of clarity surrounding capital requirements and the regulatory environment could continue to represent a headwind for BAC, we think the company is well capitalized with a strong low-cost deposit franchise and in a position to increase loan volume and generate strong returns from its brokerage operations.
 
Stocks that Contributed to Performance
 
Apple, Inc. has been a long-term holding in the portfolio and remained a top position largely because of its highly successful line of differentiated mobile computing products, from the iPad to the iPhone, and because of its growing market share in personal computers. The company continues to execute well in our view and may be in the early stages of its market share gains globally. We see Apple, Inc. continuing to be a dominant player in the smart phone market; its hardware and software integration remains a key driver of its market share gains in the personal computing space.
 
Global brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI) remained a top holding through period end as well. We believe the company continues to execute well and has seen improving pricing power. We think ABI is well positioned and has a strong management team with a history of controlling costs and improving margins.
 
Oracle Corp., an enterprise software company, remains an attractive holding to us because of its recurring maintenance contracts, dominant market share and pricing power. We believe this combination positions it to do well in a variety of economic environments.
 
Outlook
 
Looking ahead, our economic outlook has not changed. We do not expect the U.S. economy to slip into a “double-dip” recession, but we do not see strong economic growth either. Emerging markets are likely to be key drivers of global growth over the near term. It remains unclear to us when money flows could begin to move away from bonds and more towards equities. We think the strong rally in bonds, the resulting low yields and investors’ demand for higher returns make this transition inevitable, but timing remains uncertain. In the meantime, our main focus continues to be individual stock selection and finding companies that are gaining market share profitably. While a better economic backdrop would be a nice tailwind for our holdings, we continue to look for opportunities with company-specific drivers that suggest a long-term distinct competitive advantage, both in the U.S. and abroad.
 
Thank you for your investment in Janus Twenty Fund. We look forward to reporting results in the future.

Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund has a performance-based management fee that adjusts up or down based on the Fund’s performance relative to an approved benchmark index over a performance measurement period.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with nondiversification, investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings and derivatives. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
The Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets. In general, emerging market investments have historically been subject to significant gains and/or losses. As such, the Fund’s returns and NAV may be subject to volatility.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Twenty Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Twenty Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.

Fund Snapshot
We believe that investing in small companies with recurring revenue and that are poised for growth will allow us to outperform our benchmark and peers over time. We emphasize businesses with strong management teams, long-term earnings growth and an attractive risk/reward.

Performance Overview
 
For the 11-month period ended September 30, 2010, Janus Venture Fund’s Class T Shares returned 21.72%. The Fund’s primary and secondary benchmarks, the Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned 23.36% and 21.60%, respectively, over the same period.
 
Portfolio Management Update
 
We assumed portfolio management responsibility of the Fund on July 1, 2010. We were fortunate to have worked closely with Will Bales, the prior portfolio manager, throughout our careers at Janus and believe the portfolio management transition has been relatively seamless. To give you some background, we both began our careers as small-cap research analysts covering stocks across all sectors. We have over 20 years of combined experience analyzing and investing in small-cap growth companies. We have also had the privilege of managing Janus Triton Fund since July 1, 2006. Like the Fund, Janus Triton Fund invests primarily in small-cap companies but has more flexibility to move up market into the mid-cap space. We believe our broad and diverse experience has prepared us well as stewards of your capital.
 
We have made modest changes to the portfolio since July 1, including reducing the number of holdings by approximately 10% and increasing the weighted average market capitalization of the portfolio from $1.2 billion to approximately $1.5 billion. However, the one thing that will not change is our commitment to the application of in-depth research to uncover what we believe are the best small-cap growth companies in the U.S.
 
Investment Process and Philosophy
 
Our investment philosophy centers on the concept of sustainable competitive advantage. Over 20 years of combined experience in the small-cap space has taught us that smaller companies that demonstrate success inevitably face competition; for this reason, we believe it’s crucial that we construct a portfolio of companies that will be able to defend their positions against this competition. We prefer companies that have differentiated products or services that benefit from high barriers to entry, and that have the ability to consistently increase the prices that they charge.
 
Another key tenant of our investment philosophy is a belief that there is no substitute for quality. We gravitate to companies that have recurring revenues, high operating leverage, improving returns on capital and management teams with proven track records of success. Over the long-term, we believe high-quality companies are much more likely to create shareholder value than low quality companies.
 
Uncovering companies with sustainable competitive advantages is only half the battle. An equally important component of our investment process is how we construct the portfolio. Owing to the inherent volatility in the small-cap space, we believe a diversified portfolio of 80 to 120 stocks with a maximum initial position size of 3% is the best way to fulfill our goal of generating strong risk-adjusted returns. A focus on valuation and each individual security’s risk-reward profile are key components of our portfolio construction process.
 
Over the last 10 years we have come to appreciate that in small-cap investing knowing what to look out for is equally as important as knowing what to look for. If we can avoid the pitfalls and hazards that can trip up other investors we believe that we will be ahead of the game. The co-PM structure centered on collaboration is designed to minimize mistakes and force discipline around our process and philosophy.
 
Key Detractors and Contributors
 
Our holdings in information technology weighed on performance relative to the Fund’s benchmark. Among individual detractors, online printing company VistaPrint N.V. declined late in the period. The company saw revenue growth decelerate in its European market causing June quarter revenues and forward guidance to come in lower

than expectations. Despite this disappointment, we believe that the company’s competitive advantage is still solidly intact, that its addressable market remains very large, and that the business model is of high quality. We added to the position after the revenue shortfall.
 
Genoptix, Inc., a laboratory service company focused on the hematology market, posted lower-than-expected revenues for two consecutive quarters. Lower health-care volumes combined with competitive pressures were the primary culprits. We decided to exit the position in favor of what we felt were better opportunities.
 
Intermap Technologies Corp., which is building a large database of high-resolution 3D mapping data, also weighed on performance. Management turnover and a deteriorating balance sheet caused us to sell the Fund’s position in Intermap.
 
Among positive contributors, semiconductor manufacturer Atmel Corp. returned almost 114% during the period. The company recently completed the final steps in a multiyear restructuring through which it divested high cost fabrication plants and low-margin business units. The microcontroller unit that remains is an excellent business in our opinion with high margins, strong growth prospects, and improving returns on capital. Additionally, a newly introduced product called maXTouch has gained significant market share in devices that incorporate touch screens. We believe that the outlook for Atmel remains very good.
 
SXC Health Solutions Corp., a pharmacy benefit manager (PBM), was also a key contributor. SXC’s transparent, transaction based business model has led to strong organic growth and new customer wins. In addition, we believe the company has successfully augmented its overall market position and growth profile through acquisitions of smaller competitors. Given the coming wave of generic drug conversion and fragmented competitive set, we believe SXC is well positioned for continued growth.
 
LPS Brasil Consultoria de Imoveis S.A. also rose significantly. This Brazil-based real estate brokerage and consulting services firm has benefited from the housing shortage and increased activity driven by the Brazilian Government stimulus programs.
 
Derivatives
 
The Fund employed some basic derivative strategies during the period. These strategies included selling put and call options at or around our research-driven target prices in an effort to generate income and exercise price discipline for purchases and sales of the underlying stock or security. We also utilized long put options in some cases in an effort to hedge downside risk in individual positions. After taking over management on July 1, we closed out all derivative positions and did not put in place any new positions. Please see the Derivative Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for a discussion of derivatives used by the Fund.
 
Final Thoughts
 
We believe the economic recovery faces many challenges as the deleveraging process (consumers foregoing consumption in favor of debt repayment) acts as an impediment to strong economic growth. The consumer, which plays a pivotal role in the overall health and growth of the domestic economy, faces numerous headwinds. The U.S. economy continues to experience high rates of unemployment coupled with a prolonged slump in the housing market. As a result, Consumer Confidence levels remain depressed and are more indicative of recessionary levels than expansionary ones. However, despite a less favorable macro climate, our research continues to uncover what we believe are exciting growth companies that are demonstrating resilience and growth.
 
Our goal is to find companies that can perform well and deliver strong financial results regardless of the macro environment– we want to find companies that can perform great in a good environment and good in a bad environment. Given the large universe of small-cap stocks, we believe there are ample opportunities to find what we consider high quality small-cap growth companies regardless of macro conditions. As stewards of your capital, we remain committed to finding these unique growth companies.
 
In closing, we would like to express our thanks to Will Bales for his guidance and leadership. We owe Will a tremendous debt of gratitude for his role as our mentor in small-cap growth investing. Will’s patience and understanding have been an invaluable part of helping us hone our investment process and philosophy. We have learned many valuable lessons along the way and believe they will serve us well as portfolio managers of the Fund.
 
Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Venture Fund.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Call 877.33JANUS(52687) (or 800.525.3713 if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) or visit janus.com/advisor/mutual-funds (or janus.com/allfunds if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for performance current to the most recent month-end.
 
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses include dividends or interest on short sales, which are paid to the lender of borrowed securities. Such expenses will vary depending on whether the securities the Fund sells short pay dividends or interest and the amount of such dividends or interest.

Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, derivatives, short sales, and companies with relatively small market capitalizations. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
The use of short sales may cause the Fund to have higher expenses than those of other equity funds. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including a greater reliance on the investment team’s ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security. The Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale transaction. The Fund’s use of short sales in effect leverages the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund’s use of leverage may result in risks and can magnify the effect of any losses. There is no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Venture Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Janus Venture Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested.
 
Ranking is for Class T Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.
 
There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.
 
See Notes to Schedules of Investments for index definitions.
 
The Fund’s portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the indices. The indices are unmanaged and are not available for direct investment; therefore, their performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.
 
See “Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements.”
 
Effective July 1, 2010, Chad Meade and Brian Schaub are co-portfolio managers of Janus Venture Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements

 
The following section describes the organization and significant accounting policies and provides more detailed information about the schedules and tables that appear throughout this report. In addition, the Notes to Financial Statements explain the methods used in preparing and presenting this report.
 
1.  Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Janus Balanced Fund, Janus Contrarian Fund, Janus Enterprise Fund, Janus Forty Fund, Janus Fund, Janus Growth and Income Fund, Janus Research Core Fund, Janus Research Fund, Janus Triton Fund, Janus Twenty Fund and Janus Venture Fund (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are series funds. The Funds are part of Janus Investment Fund (the “Trust”), which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. On November 1, 2009, all of the Funds, except Janus Forty Fund, changed their fiscal year end from October 31 to September 30. Accordingly, these financial statements include information for the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. The Trust offers thirty-eight funds which include multiple series of shares, with differing investment objectives and policies. The Funds invest primarily in equity securities. Each Fund in this report is classified as diversified, as defined in the 1940 Act, with the exception of Janus Contrarian Fund, Janus Forty Fund and Janus Twenty Fund, which are classified as nondiversified.
 
Each Fund in this report offers multiple classes of shares in order to meet the needs of various types of investors. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain financial intermediaries may not offer all classes of shares.
 
Class A Shares and Class C Shares are generally offered through financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, traditional brokerage platforms, mutual fund wrap fee programs, bank trust platforms, and retirement platforms. The maximum purchase in Class C Shares is $500,000 for any single purchase.
 
Class D Shares are generally no longer being made available to new investors who do not already have a direct account with the Janus funds. The Shares are available only to investors who held accounts directly with the Janus funds as of July 6, 2009 and to immediate family members or members of the same household of an eligible individual investor. The Shares are not offered through financial intermediaries.
 
Class I Shares are available through certain financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, mutual fund wrap fee programs, managed account programs, asset allocation programs, and bank trust platforms, as well as certain retirement platforms. Class I Shares are also available to certain institutional investors including, but not limited to, corporations, certain retirement plans, public plans, and foundations/endowments.
 
Class R Shares are offered through financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, retirement platforms.
 
Class S Shares are offered through financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, retirement platforms and asset allocation, mutual fund wrap, or other discretionary or nondiscretionary fee-based investment advisory programs. In addition, Class S Shares may be available through certain financial intermediaries who have an agreement with Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus Capital”) or its affiliates to offer Class S Shares on their supermarket platforms.
 
Class T Shares are available through certain financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, mutual fund wrap fee programs, managed account programs, asset allocation programs, bank trust platforms, and certain retirement platforms. In addition, Class T Shares may be available through certain financial intermediaries who have an agreement with Janus Capital or its affiliates to offer Class T Shares on their supermarket platforms.
 
The following accounting policies have been followed by the Funds and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America within the investment management industry.
 
Investment Valuation
Securities are valued at the last sales price or the official closing price for securities traded on a principal securities exchange (U.S. or foreign) and on the NASDAQ National Market. Securities traded on over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets and listed securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the latest bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) obtained from one or more dealers transacting in a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Trustees. Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service. The evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service is an evaluation that reflects such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings. Short positions shall be valued in accordance with the same methodologies, except that in the event that a last sale price is not available, the latest ask price shall be used instead of a bid price. Foreign securities and currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate in effect as of the daily close of

172 | September 30, 2010


 

 

the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). When market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, or events or circumstances that may affect the value of portfolio securities held by the Funds are identified between the closing of their principal markets and the time the net asset value (“NAV”) is determined, securities may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the supervision of the Funds’ Trustees. Circumstances in which fair value pricing may be utilized include, but are not limited to: (i) a significant event that may affect the securities of a single issuer, such as a merger, bankruptcy, or significant issuer specific development; (ii) an event that may affect an entire market, such as a natural disaster or significant governmental action; (iii) a nonsignificant event such as a market closing early or not opening, or a security trading halt; and (iv) pricing of a non-valued security and a restricted or non-public security. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service to value foreign equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the NYSE. Restricted and illiquid securities are valued in accordance with procedures established by the Funds’ Trustees.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for as of the date purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded as soon as the Trust is informed of the dividend, if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities may be subject to withholding taxes in foreign jurisdictions. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Income, as well as gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of total net assets.
 
Expenses
Each Fund bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf, as well as a portion of general expenses, which may be allocated pro rata to each Fund. Each class of shares bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf and, in addition, each class bears a portion of general expenses, which are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of total net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged against the operations of such class.
 
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Foreign Currency Translations
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held at the date of the financial statements. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and foreign currency translations arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities held at the date of the financial statements, resulting from changes in the exchange rates and changes in market prices of securities held.
 
Currency gains and losses are also calculated on payables and receivables that are denominated in foreign currencies. The payables and receivables are generally related to foreign security transactions and income.
 
Foreign currency-denominated assets and forward currency contracts may involve more risks than domestic transactions, including currency risk, political and economic risk, regulatory risk and equity risk. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Dividend Distributions
Dividends of net investment income for Janus Balanced Fund and Janus Growth and Income Fund are generally declared and distributed quarterly, and realized capital gains (if any) are distributed annually. The Funds generally declare and distribute dividends of net investment income and realized capital gains (if any) annually. The majority of dividends and capital gains distributions from the Funds may be automatically reinvested into additional shares of that Fund, based on the discretion of the shareholder.
 
The Funds may make certain investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon funds available from operations. It is quite common for these dividends to exceed the

Janus Growth & Core Funds | 173


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

REITs’ taxable earnings and profits, resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. If the Funds distribute such amounts, such distributions could constitute a return of capital to shareholders for federal income tax purposes.
 
Federal Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Funds intend to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.
 
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance, the Funds adopted the provisions of “Income Taxes.” These provisions require an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a Fund’s tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense on the Statements of Operations.
 
These provisions require management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the Statute of Limitations, for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of and during the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds have no examinations in progress and are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
 
Restricted Cash
As of September 30, 2010, Janus Contrarian Fund, Janus Forty Fund, Janus Fund, and Janus Twenty Fund had restricted cash in the amounts of $16,849,293, $6,050,000, $28,739,443 and $8,750,000, respectively. The restricted cash represents collateral received in relation to options contracts invested in by the Funds at September 30, 2010. The restricted cash is held at the Fund’s custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company. The carrying value of the restricted cash approximates fair value.
 
Valuation Inputs Summary
In accordance with FASB guidance, the Funds utilize the “Fair Value Measurements” to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and expand disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The Fair Value Measurement Standard does not require new fair value measurements, but is applied to the extent that other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. This standard emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments defined pursuant to this standard. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
 
Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing a security and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, and others.
 
Debt securities are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service and generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Securities traded on OTC markets and listed securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the latest bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) obtained from one or more dealers transacting in a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Trustees and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Other securities that are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy include, but are not limited to, preferred stocks, bank loans, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), warrants, swaps, investments in mutual funds, OTC options, and forward contracts. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service to value foreign equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the NYSE. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

174 | September 30, 2010


 

 

 
Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing the security and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
 
For restricted equity securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used in employing valuation techniques such as the market approach, the income approach, or the cost approach, as defined under the FASB Guidance. These are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
 
There have been no significant changes in valuation techniques used in valuing any such positions held by the Funds since the beginning of the fiscal period or fiscal year.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The summary of inputs used as of September 30, 2010 to value the Funds’ investments in securities and other financial instruments is included in the “Valuation Inputs Summary” and “Level 3 Valuation Reconciliation of Assets” (if applicable) in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.
 
In April 2009, FASB issued “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with Fair Value Measurements when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. Additionally, it amends the Fair Value Measurement Standard by expanding disclosure requirements for reporting entities surrounding the major categories of assets and liabilities carried at fair value. The required disclosures have been incorporated into the “Valuation Inputs Summary” in the Notes to Schedules of Investments. Management believes applying this guidance does not have a material impact on the financial statements.
 
The Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (the “Update”), effective September 30, 2010. This Update applies to a Fund’s disclosures about transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers. Disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for investments that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value hierarchy are summarized under the Level 2 and Level 3 categories listed above. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the period.
 
The Funds recognize transfers between the levels as of the beginning of the fiscal period or fiscal year.
 
2.  Derivative Instruments
 
The Funds may invest in various types of derivatives which may at times result in significant derivative exposure. A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. The Funds may invest in derivative instruments including, but not limited to: futures contracts, put options, call options, options on future contracts, options on foreign currencies, swaps, forward contracts, structured investments, and other equity-linked derivatives. A summary of derivative activity is reflected in the tables at the end of this section.
 
The Funds may use derivative instruments for hedging (to offset risks associated with an investment, currency exposure, or market conditions) or for speculative (to seek to enhance returns) purposes. When the Funds invest in a derivative for speculative purposes, the Funds will be fully exposed to the risks of loss of that derivative, which may sometimes be greater than the cost of the derivative. The Funds may not use any derivative to gain exposure to an asset or class of assets prohibited by their investment restrictions from purchasing directly. The Funds’ ability to use derivative instruments may also be limited by tax considerations.
 
Investments in derivatives are generally subject to equity risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Investments in derivatives may not directly correlate with the price movements of the underlying instrument. As a result, the use of derivatives may expose the Funds to additional risks that they would not be subject to if they invested directly in the securities underlying those derivatives. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than otherwise would be the case. Derivatives can be volatile and may involve significant risks, including, but not limited to, counterparty risk, credit risk, currency risk, equity risk, index risk, interest rate risk, leverage risk, and liquidity risk.
 
Derivatives may generally be traded OTC or on an exchange. Derivatives traded OTC, such as structured notes, are agreements that are individually negotiated between parties and can be tailored to meet a purchaser’s needs. OTC derivatives are not guaranteed by a clearing agency and may be subject to increased credit risk.

Janus Growth & Core Funds | 175


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 
In an effort to mitigate credit risk associated with derivatives traded OTC, the Funds may enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties whereby, subject to certain minimum exposure requirements, a Fund may require the counterparty to post collateral if the Fund has a net aggregate unrealized gain on all OTC derivative contracts with a particular counterparty. There is no guarantee that counterparty exposure is reduced and these arrangements are dependent on Janus Capital’s ability to establish and maintain appropriate systems and trading.
 
In pursuit of their investment objectives, each Fund may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease exposure to the following market risk factors:
 
  •  Counterparty Risk – Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty or a third party will not fulfill its obligation to a Fund.
 
  •  Credit Risk – Credit risk is the risk an issuer will be unable to make principal and interest payments when due, or will default on its obligations.
 
  •  Currency Risk – Currency risk is the risk that changes in the exchange rate between currencies will adversely affect the value (in U.S. dollar terms) of an investment.
 
  •  Equity Risk – Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
 
  •  Index Risk – If the derivative is linked to the performance of an index, it will be subject to the risks associated with changes in that index. If the index changes, a Fund could receive lower interest payments or experience a reduction in the value of the derivative to below what the Fund paid. Certain indexed securities, including inverse securities (which move in an opposite direction to the index), may create leverage, to the extent that they increase or decrease in value at a rate that is a multiple of the changes in the applicable index.
 
  •  Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of fixed-income securities will generally decline as prevailing interest rates rise, which may cause a Fund’s NAV to likewise decrease, and vice versa.
 
  •  Leverage Risk – Leverage risk is the risk associated with certain types of leveraged investments or trading strategies pursuant to which relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of an investment. A Fund creates leverage by using borrowed capital to increase the amount invested, or investing in instruments, including derivatives, where the investment loss can exceed the original amount invested. Certain investments or trading strategies that involve leverage can result in losses that greatly exceed the amount originally invested.
 
  •  Liquidity Risk – Liquidity risk is the risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time that the seller would like or at the price that the seller believes the security is currently worth.
 
Equity-Linked Structured Notes
The Funds may invest in equity-linked structured notes. Equity-linked structured notes are derivative securities which are specially designed to combine the characteristics of one or more underlying securities and their equity derivatives in a single note form. The return and/or yield or income component may be based on the performance of the underlying equity securities, an equity index, and/or option positions. Equity-linked structured notes are typically offered in limited transactions by financial institutions in either registered or non-registered form. An investment in equity-linked structured notes creates exposure to the credit risk of the issuing financial institution, as well as to the equity risk of the underlying securities. There is no guaranteed return of principal with these securities and the appreciation potential of these securities may be limited by a maximum payment or call right. In certain cases, equity-linked structured notes may be more volatile and less liquid than less complex securities or other types of fixed-income securities. Such securities may exhibit price behavior that does not correlate with other fixed-income securities.
 
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
A forward foreign currency exchange contract (“forward currency contract”) is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. The Funds may enter into forward currency contracts for hedging purposes, including, but not limited to, reducing exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on foreign portfolio holdings and locking in the U.S. dollar cost of firm purchase and sale commitments for securities denominated in or exposed to foreign currencies. The Funds may also invest in forward currency contracts for nonhedging purposes such as seeking to enhance returns. The Funds are subject to currency risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives through their investments in forward currency contracts.
 
The gain or loss arising from the difference between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing a contract

is included in “Net realized gain/(loss) from investment and foreign currency transactions” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
Forward currency contracts held by the Funds are fully collateralized by other securities, which are denoted on the accompanying Schedules of Investments (if applicable). The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its market value equals or exceeds the current market value of the corresponding forward currency contracts. Such collateral is in the possession of the Funds’ custodian.
 
Futures Contracts
A futures contract is an exchange-traded agreement to take or make delivery of an underlying asset at a specific time in the future for a specific predetermined negotiated price. The Funds may enter into futures contracts to gain exposure to the stock market pending investment of cash balances or to meet liquidity needs. The Funds are subject to interest rate risk, equity risk, and currency risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives through their investments in futures contracts. The Funds may also use such derivative instruments to hedge or protect from adverse movements in securities prices, currency rates or interest rates. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the values of the contracts and the underlying securities, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations.
 
Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, and the daily variation margin is recorded as a receivable or payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities (if applicable). When a contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded as “Net realized gain/(loss) from futures contracts” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable), equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. Generally, futures contracts are marked-to-market (i.e., treated as realized and subject to distribution) for federal income tax purposes at fiscal year-end. Securities held by the Funds that are designated as collateral for market value on futures contracts are noted on the Schedules of Investments (if applicable). Such collateral is in the possession of the Funds’ custodian or with the counterparty broker.
 
With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
 
Options Contracts
An options contract provides the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a financial instrument at an agreed upon price. The Funds may purchase or write covered and uncovered put and call options on futures contracts and on portfolio securities for hedging purposes or as a substitute for an investment. The Funds are subject to interest rate risk, liquidity risk, equity risk, and currency risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives through their investments in options contracts. The Funds may use options contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates, the values of equities, or foreign currencies. The Funds may utilize American-style and European-style options. An American-style option is an option contract that can be exercised at any time between the time of purchase and the option’s expiration date. A European-style option is an option contract that can only be exercised on the option’s expiration date. The Funds may also purchase or write put and call options on foreign currencies in a manner similar to that in which futures or forward contracts on foreign currencies will be utilized. The Funds may also invest in long-term equity anticipation securities, which are long-term option contracts that can be maintained for a period of up to three years. The Funds generally invest in options to hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings.
 
When an option is written, the Funds receive a premium and become obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. In writing an option, the Funds bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Funds could result in the Funds buying or selling a security at a price different from the current market value.
 
When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
 
The Funds may also purchase and write exchange-listed and OTC put and call options on domestic securities indices, and on foreign securities indices listed on domestic and foreign securities exchanges. Options on securities indices are similar to options on securities except that (1) the expiration cycles of securities index options are monthly, while those of securities options are currently quarterly, and (2) the delivery requirements are different. Instead of giving the right to take or make delivery of securities at a specified price, an option on a securities index gives the holder the right to receive a cash “exercise settlement amount” equal to (a) the amount, if any, by which the fixed exercise price of the option exceeds (in the case of a put) or is less than (in the case of a call) the closing value of the underlying index on the date of exercise, multiplied by (b) a fixed “index multiplier.” Receipt of this cash amount will depend

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

upon the closing level of the securities index upon which the option is based being greater than, in the case of a call, or less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the index and the exercise price of the option times a specified multiple. The writer of the option is obligated, in return for the premium received, to make delivery of this amount.
 
Options traded on an exchange are regulated and the terms of the options are standardized. Options traded OTC expose the Funds to counterparty risk in the event that the counterparty does not perform. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Funds’ exposure to the counterparty.
 
Holdings of the Funds designated to cover outstanding written options are noted on the Schedules of Investments (if applicable). Options written are reported as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “Options written at value” (if applicable).
 
Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gain/(loss) from options contracts” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
The following Funds recognized realized gains/(losses) from written options contracts during the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 as indicated in the table below:
 
           
Fund   Gains/(Losses)    
 
 
Janus Contrarian Fund
  $ 76,142,178    
Janus Fund
    18,944,240    
Janus Venture Fund
    944,028    
 
 
 
The risk in writing call options is that the Funds give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the options are exercised. The risk in writing put options is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the options are exercised. The risk in buying options is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the options are exercised. The use of such instruments may involve certain additional risks as a result of unanticipated movements in the market. A lack of correlation between the value of an instrument underlying an option and the asset being hedged, or unexpected adverse price movements, could render the Funds’ hedging strategy unsuccessful. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased or sold. There is no limit to the loss the Funds may recognize due to written call options.

Other Options
In addition to the option strategies described above, the Funds may purchase and sell a variety of options with non-standard payout structures or other features (“exotic options”). Exotic options are traded OTC and typically have price movements that can vary markedly from simple put or call options. The risks associated with exotic options are that they cannot be as easily priced and may be subject to liquidity risk. While some exotic options have fairly active markets, others are mostly thinly traded instruments. Some options are pure two-party transactions and may have no liquidity. The Funds may treat such instruments as illiquid and will limit their investments in such instruments to no more than 15% of a Fund’s net assets, when combined with all other illiquid investments of a Fund. The Funds may use exotic options to the extent that they are consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and investment policies, and applicable regulations.
 
The Funds may purchase and sell exotic options that have values which are determined by the correlation of two or more underlying assets. These types of options include, but are not limited to, outperformance options, yield curve options or other spread options.
 
Swaps
A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. The Funds may utilize swap agreements as a means to gain exposure to certain common stocks and/or to “hedge” or protect their portfolios from adverse movements in securities prices or interest rates. The Funds are subject to equity risk and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives through investments in swap contracts. Swap agreements entail the risk that a party will default on its payment obligation to a Fund. If the other party to a swap defaults, a Fund would risk the loss of the net amount of the payments that it contractually is entitled to receive. If a Fund utilizes a swap at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, the swap may result in a loss to the Fund and reduce the Fund’s total return. Swap contracts of the Funds are reported as an asset or liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities (if applicable). Realized gains and losses of the Funds are reported in “Net realized gain/(loss) from swap contracts” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
Various types of swaps such as credit default (funded and unfunded), dividend, equity, interest rate, and total return swaps are described below.
 
Credit default swaps are a specific kind of counterparty agreement that allows the transfer of third-party credit risk from one party to the other. The Funds are subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives through their investments in credit default swap contracts. The Funds may enter into credit default swaps to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce their risk exposure to defaults of corporate and sovereign issuers, or to create exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed. With a credit default swap, one party in the swap is a lender and faces credit risk from a third party, and the counterparty in the credit default swap agrees to insure this risk in exchange for regular periodic payments. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as protection sellers or as protection buyers (undiscounted), is the notional value of the agreement. The risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty and

Janus Growth & Core Funds | 179


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

by posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Funds to cover the Funds’ exposure to the counterparty.
 
Funded (notional value of contract paid up front) or unfunded (notional value only paid in case of default) credit default swaps are based on an index of credit default swaps (“CDXs”) or other similarly structured products. CDXs are designed to track segments of the credit default swap market and provide investors with exposure to specific reference baskets of issuers of bonds or loans. These instruments have the potential to allow an investor to obtain the same investment exposure as an investor who invests in an individual credit default swap, but with the potential added benefit of diversification. The CDX reference baskets are normally priced daily and rebalanced every six months in conjunction with leading market makers in the credit industry. The liquidity of the market for CDXs is normally subject to liquidity in the secured loan and credit derivatives markets. A fund investing in CDXs is normally only permitted to take long positions in these instruments.
 
Dividend swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive the changes in a dividend index point. The Funds gain exposure by either paying or receiving an amount in respect of an increase or decrease in the change of the relevant dividend index point based on a notional amount. For example, if a Fund took a long position on a dividend index swap, the Fund would receive payments if the relevant index point increased in value and would be obligated to pay if that index point decreased in value.
 
Equity swaps involve the exchange by two parties of future cash flow (e.g., one cash flow based on a referenced interest rate and the other based on the performance of stock or a stock index).
 
Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by two parties of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments).
 
Total return swaps involve an exchange by two parties in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both the income it generates and any capital gains over the payment period.
 
The Funds’ maximum risk of loss for equity swaps, interest rate swaps and total return swaps from counterparty risk or credit risk is the discounted value of the payments to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. The risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Funds and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral to the Funds to cover the Funds’ exposure to the counterparty.
 
In accordance with FASB guidance, the Funds adopted the provisions for “Derivatives and Hedging,” which require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.

3.  Other investments and strategies
 
Additional Investment Risk
The Funds may be invested in lower-rated debt securities that have a higher risk of default or loss of value since these securities may be sensitive to economic changes, political changes or adverse developments specific to the issuer.
 
Unforeseen events in the equity and fixed-income markets may at times result in an unusually high degree of volatility in the markets, both domestic and international. These events and the resulting market upheavals may have an adverse effect on the Funds, such as a decline in the value and liquidity of many securities held by the Funds, unusually high and unanticipated levels of redemptions, an increase in portfolio turnover, a decrease in NAV, and an increase in Fund expenses. Such unforeseen events may make it unusually difficult to identify both investment risks and opportunities and could limit or preclude each Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The market’s behavior may at times be unpredictable. Therefore, it is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, and you could lose money.
 
Bank Loans
Certain Funds, particularly Janus Balanced Fund, may invest in bank loans, which include institutionally traded floating rate securities generally acquired as an assignment from another holder of, or participation interest in, loans originated by a bank or financial institution (the “Lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When investing in a loan participation, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the Lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the Lender of payments from the borrower. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. Assignments and participations involve credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. Interest rates on floating rate securities adjust with general interest rate changes and/or issuer credit quality. The interest rates paid on a floating rate security in which the Fund invests generally are readjusted periodically to an increment over a designated benchmark rate, such as the one-month, three-month, six-month, or one-year London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is a short-term interest rate that banks charge one another and is generally

representative of the most competitive and current cash rates.
 
The Fund may have difficulty trading assignments and participations to third parties. There may be restrictions on transfer and only limited opportunities may exist to sell such securities in secondary markets. As a result, the Fund may be unable to sell assignments or participations at the desired time or may be able to sell only at a price less than fair market value. The Fund utilizes an independent third party to value individual bank loans on a daily basis.
 
The average monthly value of borrowings outstanding under bank loan arrangements and the related rate range during the eleven-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2010 is indicated in the table below:

  $ 1,879,222     3.0100%-5.2500%    
 
 
 
Counterparties
Fund transactions involving a counterparty are subject to the risk that the counterparty or a third party will not fulfill its obligation to a Fund (“counterparty risk”). Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition (i.e., financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency), market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether foreseen or not. A counterparty’s inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant financial loss to a Fund. A Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited recovery, and/or recovery may be delayed. The extent of a Fund’s exposure to counterparty risk in respect to financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
A Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk through participation in various programs including, but not limited to, lending its securities to third parties, cash sweep arrangements whereby a Fund’s cash balances are invested in one or more types of cash management vehicles, as well as investments in, but not limited to, repurchase agreements, debt securities, and derivatives, including various types of swaps, futures and options. A Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that Janus Capital believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. There is always the risk that Janus Capital’s analysis of a counterparty’s creditworthiness is incorrect or may change due to market conditions. To the extent that a Fund focuses its transactions with a limited number of counterparties, it will have greater exposure to the risks associated with one or more counterparties.
 
Exchange-Traded Funds
The Funds may invest in exchange-traded funds, which generally are index-based investment companies that hold substantially all of their assets in securities representing their specific index. As a shareholder of another investment company, a Fund would bear its pro rata portion of the other investment company’s expenses, including advisory fees, in addition to the expenses the Fund bears directly in connection with its own operations.
 
Exchange-Traded Notes
The Funds may invest directly in exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), which are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities whose returns are linked to a particular index and provide exposure to the total returns of various market indices, including indices linked to stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies. This type of debt security differs from other types of bonds and notes. ETN returns are based upon the performance of a market index minus applicable fees; no periodic coupon payments are distributed and no principal protections exist. ETNs do not pay cash distributions. Instead, the value of dividends, interest, and investment gains are captured in a Fund’s total return. The Funds will invest in these securities when desiring exposure to debt securities or commodities. When evaluating ETNs for investment, Janus Capital will consider the potential risks involved, expected tax efficiency, rate of return, and credit risk. When the Funds invest in ETNs, they will bear their proportionate share of any fees and expenses borne by the ETN. There may be restrictions on the Funds’ right to redeem their investment in an ETN, which is meant to be held until maturity. The Funds’ decision to sell their ETN holdings may be limited by the availability of a secondary market.
 
Floating Rate Loans
Janus Balanced Fund may invest in floating rate loans. Floating rate loans are debt securities that have floating interest rates, which adjust periodically, and are tied to a benchmark lending rate, such as LIBOR. In other cases, the lending rate could be tied to the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks or the rate paid on large certificates of deposit traded in the secondary markets. If the benchmark lending rate changes, the rate payable to lenders under the loan will change at the next scheduled adjustment date specified in the loan agreement. Floating rate loans are typically issued to companies (“borrowers”) in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, and refinancings. Floating rate loan investments are generally below investment grade. Senior floating rate loans are secured by specific collateral of a borrower and are senior in the borrower’s capital structure. The senior position in the borrower’s capital structure generally gives holders of senior loans a claim on certain of the borrower’s assets

Janus Growth & Core Funds | 187


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

that is senior to subordinated debt and preferred and common stock in the case of a borrower’s default. Floating rate loan investments may involve foreign borrowers, and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. Floating rate loans often involve borrowers whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and companies that are highly leveraged. The Fund may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. Floating rate loans may include fully funded term loans or revolving lines of credit.
 
Initial Public Offerings
The Funds may invest in initial public offerings (“IPOs”). IPOs and other investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on a Fund with a small asset base. The Funds may not experience similar performance as their assets grow.
 
Interfund Lending
As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or the 1940 Act and rules promulgated thereunder, the Funds may be party to interfund lending agreements between the Funds and other Janus Capital sponsored mutual funds and certain pooled investment vehicles, which permit them to borrow or lend cash at a rate beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Outstanding borrowings from all sources totaling 10% or more of the borrowing Fund’s total assets must be collateralized at 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan; loans of less than 10% may be unsecured.
 
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities
The Funds, particularly Janus Balanced Fund, may purchase fixed or variable rate mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), or other governmental or government-related entities. Historically, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities were not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, and may not be in the future. In September 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), an agency of the U.S. Government, placed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under conservatorship to provide stability in the financial markets, mortgage availability and taxpayer protection by preserving Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s assets, and placing them in a sound and solvent condition. Under the conservatorship, the management of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was replaced. The effect that the FHFA’s conservatorship will have on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s debt and equities is unclear. The Funds may purchase other mortgage- and asset-backed securities through single- and multi-seller conduits, collateralized debt obligations, structured investment vehicles, and other similar securities. Asset-backed securities may be backed by automobile loans, equipment leases, credit card receivables, or other collateral. In the event the underlying securities fail to perform, these investment vehicles could be forced to sell the assets and recognize losses on such assets, which could impact the Funds’ yield and the Funds’ return. In addition, mortgage-backed securities may be supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance. However, there is no assurance that the guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
 
Unlike traditional debt instruments, payments on these securities include both interest and a partial payment of principal. Prepayment risk, which results from prepayments of the principal of underlying loans, may shorten the effective maturities of these securities and may result in a Fund having to reinvest proceeds at a lower interest rate.
 
In addition to prepayment risk, investments in mortgage-backed securities, including those comprised of subprime mortgages, and investments in other asset-backed securities comprised of under-performing assets may be subject to a higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
 
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are also subject to extension risk, which is the risk that rising interest rates could cause mortgages or other obligations underlying these securities to be paid more slowly than expected, increasing the Funds’ sensitivity to interest changes and causing its price to decline.
 
Restricted Security Transactions
Restricted securities held by the Funds may not be sold except in exempt transactions or in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The risk of investing in such securities is generally greater than the risk of investing in the securities of widely held, publicly traded companies. Lack of a secondary market and resale restrictions may result in the inability of the Funds to sell a security at a fair price and may substantially delay the sale of the security. In addition, these securities may exhibit greater price volatility than securities for which secondary markets exist.
 
Securities Lending
The Funds may seek to earn additional income through lending their securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions on a short-term or long-term basis. Under procedures adopted by the Trustees, the Funds may seek

188 | September 30, 2010


 

 

to earn additional income by lending securities to qualified parties (typically brokers or other financial institutions) who need to borrow securities in order to complete certain transactions such as covering short sales, avoiding failures to deliver securities or completing arbitrage activities. There is the risk of delay in recovering a loaned security or the risk of loss in collateral rights if the borrower fails financially. Janus Capital makes efforts to balance the benefits and risks from granting such loans.
 
The Funds do not have the right to vote on securities while they are being lent; however, the Funds may attempt to call back the loan and vote the proxy if time permits. All loans will be continuously secured by collateral which may consist of cash, U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt, convertible securities, foreign currency and bank letters of credit, or such other collateral permitted by the SEC. Cash collateral may be invested as permitted by the 1940 Act and rules promulgated thereunder. Janus Capital intends to manage the cash collateral in an affiliated cash management vehicle and will receive an investment advisory fee for managing such assets.
 
The value of the collateral must be at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities that are denominated in U.S. dollars and 105% of the market value of the loaned securities that are not denominated in U.S. dollars. Loaned securities and related collateral are marked-to-market each business day based upon the market value of the loaned securities at the close of business, employing the most recent available pricing information. Collateral levels are then adjusted based upon this mark-to-market evaluation.
 
The borrower pays fees at the Funds’ direction to Deutsche Bank AG (the “Lending Agent”). The Lending Agent may retain a portion of the interest earned on the cash collateral invested. The cash collateral invested by the Lending Agent is disclosed on the Schedules of Investments (if applicable). The lending fees and the Funds’ portion of the interest income earned on cash collateral are included on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
The Funds did not have any securities on loan during the period.
 
Short Sales
The Funds may engage in “short sales against the box.” Short sales against the box involve either selling short a security that the Funds own or selling short a security that the Funds have the right to obtain, for delivery at a specified date in the future. The Funds may enter into short sales against the box to hedge against anticipated declines in the market price of portfolio securities. The Funds do not deliver from their portfolios the securities sold short and do not immediately receive the proceeds of the short sale. The Funds borrow the securities sold short and receive proceeds from the short sale only when they deliver the securities to the lender. If the value of the securities sold short increases prior to the scheduled delivery date, the Funds lose the opportunity to participate in the gain.
 
The Funds may also engage in other short sales. The Funds may engage in short sales when the portfolio managers and/or investment personnel anticipate that a security’s market purchase price will be less than its borrowing price. To complete the transaction, the Funds must borrow the security to deliver it to the purchaser and buy that same security in the market to return it to the lender. No more than 10% of a Fund’s net assets may be invested in short positions (through short sales of stocks, structured products, futures, swaps, and uncovered written calls). The Funds may engage in short sales “against the box” and options for hedging purposes that are not subject to this 10% limit. Although the potential for gain as a result of a short sale is limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short less the cost of borrowing the security, the potential for loss is theoretically unlimited because there is no limit to the cost of replacing the borrowed security. There is no assurance the Funds will be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price. A gain or a loss will be recognized upon termination of a short sale. Short sales held by the Funds are fully collateralized by restricted cash or other securities, which are denoted on the accompanying Schedules of Investments (if applicable). The Funds are also required to pay the lender of the security any dividends or interest that accrues on a borrowed security during the period of the loan. Depending on the arrangements made with the broker or custodian, a Fund may or may not receive any payments (including interest) on collateral it has deposited with the broker. The Funds pay stock loan fees on assets borrowed from the security broker.
 
The Funds may also enter into short positions through derivative instruments, such as options contracts, futures contracts, and swap agreements, which may expose the Funds to similar risks. To the extent that the Funds enter into short derivative positions, the Funds may be exposed to risks similar to those associated with short sales, including the risk that the Funds’ losses are theoretically unlimited.
 
When-Issued Securities
Janus Balanced Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

transaction is negotiated. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Fund may hold liquid assets as collateral with the Fund’s custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price.
 
4.  Investment Advisory Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
Each Fund pays Janus Capital an investment advisory fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly. The following table reflects certain Funds’ “base” fee rates prior to any performance adjustment and certain Funds’ contractual investment advisory fee rates (expressed as an annual rate).

For Janus Contrarian Fund, Janus Forty Fund, Janus Fund, Janus Research Fund, and Janus Twenty Fund, the investment advisory fee rate is determined by calculating a base fee and applying a performance adjustment. The base fee rate is the same as the contractual investment advisory fee rate shown in the table above. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the base fee depending on how well each Fund has performed relative to its benchmark index, as shown below:
 
           
Fund   Benchmark Index

    S&P 500® Index    
Janus Forty Fund
    Russell 1000® Growth Index

At the “Special Meeting” of the shareholders held on June 10, 2010 (for Janus Fund and Janus Twenty Fund), and June 29, 2010 (for Janus Forty Fund), shareholders of the Funds approved amended and restated investment advisory agreements between Janus Investment Fund, on behalf of the Funds, and Janus Capital, changing the Funds’ investment advisory fee structures from an annual fixed rate of 0.64% of average daily net assets to an annual rate that adjusts up or down based upon the performance of each Fund’s (with the exception of Janus Twenty Fund) Class A Shares (waiving the upfront sales load) relative to each Fund’s respective benchmark index as noted above.
 
Only the base fee rate applied until February 2007 for each of Janus Contrarian Fund and Janus Research Fund and will apply until July 2011 for Janus Fund and January 2012 for each of Janus Forty Fund and Janus Twenty Fund, at which time the calculation of the performance adjustment applies as follows:
 
Investment Advisory Fee = Base Fee Rate +/- Performance Adjustment
 
The investment advisory fee rate paid to Janus Capital by each of the Funds listed above consists of two components: (1) a base fee calculated by applying the contractual fixed rate of the advisory fee to the Fund’s average daily net assets during the previous month (“Base Fee Rate”), 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 no Performance Adjustment is made until the performance-based fee structure has been in effect for at least 12 months (18 months for each of Janus Forty Fund and Janus Twenty Fund) and, accordingly, only the Fund’s Base Fee Rate applies for the initial 12 months(18 months for each of Janus Forty Fund and Janus Twenty Fund). When the performance-based fee structure has been in effect for at least 12 months (18 months for each of Janus Forty Fund and Janus Twenty Fund), but less than 36 months, the performance measurement period will be equal to the time that has elapsed since the performance-based fee structure took effect. As noted above, any applicable Performance Adjustments began February 2007 for each of Janus Contrarian Fund and Janus Research Fund and will apply beginning July 2011 for Janus Fund and January 2012 for each of Janus Forty Fund and Janus Twenty Fund.
 
No Performance Adjustment is applied unless the difference between the Fund’s investment performance and the cumulative investment record of the Fund’s benchmark index is 0.50% or greater (positive or negative) during the applicable performance measurement period. The Base Fee Rate is subject to an upward or downward performance adjustment for every full 0.50% increment by which a Fund outperforms or underperforms its benchmark index. Because the Performance Adjustment is tied to a Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark index (and not its absolute performance), the

190 | September 30, 2010


 

 

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 Rate and the Performance Adjustment, net assets are averaged over different periods (average daily net assets during the previous month for the Base Fee Rate, versus average daily net assets during the performance measurement period for the Performance Adjustment). Performance of a Fund is calculated net of expenses, whereas a Fund’s benchmark index does not have any fees or expenses. Reinvestment of dividends and distributions is included in calculating both the performance of a Fund and the Fund’s benchmark index. The Base Fee Rate is calculated and accrued daily. The Performance Adjustment is calculated monthly in arrears and is accrued throughout the month. The investment fee is paid monthly in arrears. 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 Rate. In such circumstances, Janus Capital would reimburse the applicable Fund.
 
The application of an expense limit, if any, will have a positive effect upon a Fund’s performance and may result in an increase in the Performance Adjustment. It is possible that the cumulative dollar amount of additional compensation ultimately payable to Janus Capital may, under some circumstances, exceed the cumulative dollar amount of management fees waived by Janus Capital.
 
The investment performance of a Fund’s (with the exception of Janus Twenty Fund) Class A Shares (waiving the upfront sales load) for the performance measurement period is used to calculate the Performance Adjustment. For performance measurement periods prior to July 6, 2009, certain Funds calculated their Performance Adjustment by comparing the performance of Class T Shares (formerly named Class J Shares) against the investment record of its benchmark index. For periods beginning July 6, 2009, the investment performance of a Fund’s load-waived Class A Shares for the performance measurement period is used to calculate the Performance Adjustment. Because the Performance Adjustment is based on a rolling 36-month performance measurement period, calculations based solely on the performance of the Fund’s load-waived Class A Shares will not be fully implemented for 36 months after July 6, 2009. During this transition period, the Fund’s performance will be compared to a blended investment performance record that includes the Fund’s Class T Shares (formerly named Class J Shares) performance (the prior share class used for performance calculations) for the portion of the performance measurement period prior to July 6, 2009, and the Fund’s load-waived Class A Shares for the remainder of the period. At the conclusion of the transition period, the Fund’s Class T Shares will be eliminated from the Performance Adjustment calculation, and the calculation will be based solely upon the Fund’s load-waived Class A Shares. After Janus Capital determines whether a particular Fund’s performance was above or below its benchmark index by comparing the investment performance of the Fund’s load-waived Class A Shares, or Class T Shares (formerly named Class J Shares) as the case may be, against the cumulative investment record of the Fund’s benchmark index, Janus Capital applies the same Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) across each other class of shares of the Fund, as applicable.
 
Because Janus Twenty Fund does not offer Class A Shares, the investment performance of the Fund’s Class T Shares (formerly named Class J Shares) will be used for purposes of calculating the Fund’s Performance Adjustment. After Janus Capital determines whether Janus Twenty Fund’s performance was above or below its benchmark index by comparing the investment performance of the Fund’s Class T Shares against the cumulative investment record of the Fund’s benchmark index, Janus Capital will apply the same Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) across any other class of shares of Janus Twenty Fund.
 
It is not possible to predict the effect of the Performance Adjustment on future overall compensation to Janus Capital since it depends on the performance of each Fund relative to the record of the Fund’s benchmark index and future changes to the size of each Fund.
 
The Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information contain additional information about performance-based fees. The amount shown as advisory fees on the Statements of Operations reflects the Base Fee Rate plus/minus any Performance Adjustment.
 
During the eleven-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2010, the following Funds recorded a Performance Adjustment as indicated in the table below:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

addition, Janus Services provides or arranges for the provision of certain other administrative services including, but not limited to, recordkeeping, accounting, order processing, and other shareholder services for the Funds.
 
Prior to February 16, 2010, certain Funds paid Janus Services an asset-weighted average annual fee based on the proportion of a Fund’s total net assets sold directly and the proportion of a Fund’s net assets sold through intermediaries for Class J Shares, the initial share class. The applicable fee rates were 0.12% of net assets on the proportion of assets sold directly and 0.25% on the proportion of assets sold through intermediaries for Class J Shares, the initial share class.
 
Class D Shares of the Funds pay an annual administrative services fee of 0.12% of net assets. These administrative services fees are paid by the Shares of each Fund for shareholder services provided by Janus Services.
 
Janus Services receives an administrative services fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class R Shares and Class S Shares of the Funds for providing or arranging for the provision of, administrative services including, but not limited to, recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networked accounts, or other shareholder services provided on behalf of investors in Class R Shares and Class S Shares of the Funds, as applicable. Janus Services expects to use a significant portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan service providers, and other financial intermediaries for providing these services.
 
Janus Services receives an administrative services fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class T Shares of the Funds for providing or procuring administrative services to investors in Class T Shares of the Funds. These administrative services fees are paid by Class T Shares of the Funds to Janus Services, which uses some or all of such fees to compensate intermediaries for providing these services to their customers who invest in the Funds. Services provided by these financial intermediaries may include, but are not limited to, recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networked accounts, or other shareholder services provided by intermediaries on behalf of the shareholders of these Funds. Order processing includes the submission of transactions through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) or similar systems, or those processed on a manual basis with Janus. Janus Services or its affiliates may also pay fees for services provided by intermediaries to the extent the fees charged by intermediaries exceed the 0.25% of net assets charged to these Funds.
 
Certain, but not all, intermediaries may charge fees for administrative services, including recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networked accounts, or other shareholder services provided by intermediaries on behalf of the shareholders of the Funds. These administrative fees are paid by the Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares of the Funds to Janus Services, which uses such fees to reimburse intermediaries.
 
Janus Distributors LLC (“Janus Distributors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, is the distributor of the Funds. The Funds have adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan authorizes payments by the Funds at an annual rate, as determined from time to time by the Board of Trustees, of up to 0.25% of the Class A Shares average daily net assets, of up to 1.00% of the Class C Shares average daily net assets, of up to 0.50% of the Class R Shares average daily net assets, and of up to 0.25% of the Class S Shares average daily net assets. Payments under the Plan are not tied exclusively to actual distribution and shareholder service expenses, and the payments may exceed distribution and shareholder service expenses actually incurred by the Funds. If any of a Fund’s actual distribution and shareholder service expenses incurred during a calendar year are less than the payments made during a calendar year, the Fund will be refunded for the difference. Refunds, if any, are included in the “Distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees” in the Statements of Operations.
 
Janus Capital has agreed until at least February 1, 2012 to reimburse certain Funds by the amount, if any, that such Fund’s normal operating expenses in any fiscal year, including the investment advisory fee, but excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, if applicable, class-specific distribution and shareholder servicing fees applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares, the administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares, brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes and extraordinary expenses (including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses), exceed the annual rates noted below. If applicable, amounts reimbursed to the Funds by Janus Capital are disclosed as “Excess Expense Reimbursement” on the Statements of Operations.

  Janus Research Core Fund is expected to reorganize into Janus Growth and Income Fund effective on or about January 28, 2011. Upon consummation of the reorganization, Janus Capital has agreed to reduce the expense limit for Janus Growth and Income Fund from 0.73%, as currently in effect until February 16, 2011, to 0.70%. The expense limit for Janus Research Core Fund is effective until February 16, 2011.
 
The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Plan”) for independent Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Funds. All deferred fees are credited to an account established in the name of the Trustees. The amounts credited to the account then increase or decrease, as the case may be, in accordance with the performance of one or more of the Janus funds that are selected by the Trustees. The account balance continues to fluctuate in accordance with the performance of the selected fund or funds until final payment of all amounts are credited to the account. The fluctuation of the account balance is recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and is shown as of September 30, 2010 on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset, “Non-interested Trustees’ deferred compensation,” and a liability, “Non-interested Trustees’ deferred compensation fees.” Additionally, the recorded unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is included in “Unrealized net appreciation/(depreciation) of investments, foreign currency translations and non-interested Trustees’ deferred compensation” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferred compensation expenses for the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 are included in “Non-interested Trustees’ fees and expenses” on the Statements of Operations. Trustees are allowed to change their designation of mutual funds from time to time. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the Deferred Plan. No deferred fees were distributed to any Trustee under the Deferred Plan during the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
 
For the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, Janus Capital assumed $54,830 and $8,636, respectively, of legal, consulting and Trustee costs and fees incurred by the funds in the Trust and Janus Aspen Series together with the Trust (the “Portfolios”), in connection with the regulatory and civil litigation matters discussed in Note 11. These non-recurring costs were allocated to all Portfolios based on the Portfolios’ respective net assets as of July 31, 2004. Unless noted otherwise in the financial highlights, the effect of these non-recurring costs assumed by Janus Capital are included in the ratio of gross expenses to average net assets and were less than 0.01%. No fees were allocated to the Portfolios that commenced operations after July 31, 2004. Additionally, all future non-recurring costs will be allocated to the Portfolios based on the Portfolios’ respective net assets on July 31, 2004. These “Non-recurring costs” and “Costs assumed by Janus Capital” are shown on the Statements of Operations.
 
Certain officers of the Funds may also be officers and/or directors of Janus Capital. Such officers receive no compensation from the Funds, except for the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. The Funds reimburse Janus Capital for a portion of the compensation paid to the Chief Compliance Officer and certain compliance staff of the Trust. Total compensation of $401,114, $429,795, $357,283 and $276,484 was paid by the Trust during the eleven-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2010 and the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, October 31, 2009, and July 31, 2009, respectively. Each Fund’s portion is reported as part of “Other Expenses” on the Statements of Operations.
 
Class A Shares include a 5.75% upfront sales charge of the offering price of the Funds. The sales charge is allocated between Janus Distributors and financial intermediaries. During the eleven-month fiscal year or period ended September 30, 2010, Janus Distributors retained the following upfront sales charges:

Any applicable CDSC will be 1.00% of the lesser of the original purchase price or the value of the redemption of the Class A Shares redeemed.

The Funds’ expenses may be reduced by expense offsets from an unaffiliated custodian and/or transfer agent. Such credits or offsets are included in “Expense and Fee Offset” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable). The transfer agent fee offsets received during the period reduce “Transfer agent fees and expenses” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable). Custodian offsets received reduce “Custodian fees” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable). The Funds could have employed the assets used by the custodian and/or transfer agent to produce income if they had not entered into an expense offset arrangement.
 
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of an SEC exemptive order and the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Funds may participate in an affiliated or non-affiliated cash sweep program. In the cash sweep program, uninvested cash balances of the Funds may be used to purchase shares of affiliated or non-affiliated money market funds or cash management pooled investment vehicles. The Funds are eligible to participate in the cash sweep program (the “Investing Funds”). Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC is an affiliated unregistered cash management pooled investment vehicle that invests primarily in highly-rated short-term fixed-income securities. Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC maintains a NAV of $1.00 per share and distributes income daily in a manner consistent with a registered 2a-7 product. There are no restrictions on the Funds’ ability to withdraw investments from Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC at will, and there are no unfunded capital commitments due from the Funds to Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC. As adviser, Janus Capital has an inherent conflict of interest because of its fiduciary duties to the affiliated cash management pooled investment vehicles and the Investing Funds.
 
During the eleven-month fiscal period or fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, respectively, the following Funds recorded distributions from affiliated investment companies as affiliated dividend income, and had the following affiliated purchases and sales:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 
Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are due to differing treatments for items such as net short-term gains, deferral of wash sale losses, foreign currency transactions, net investment losses and capital loss carryovers. Certain permanent differences such as tax returns of capital and net investment losses noted below have been reclassified to paid-in capital.

9.  Shares Issued in Connection with Restructuring
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Class J Shares were renamed Class T Shares and are available through certain financial intermediary platforms. In addition, Class J Shares held directly with Janus were moved to newly created Class D Shares, a share class dedicated to shareholders investing directly with Janus. Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010. The shares issued in connection with the restructuring from Class J Shares to Class D Shares are reflected on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and in the Capital Share Transactions table in Note 7.
 
10.  Fund Acquisition
 
On July 6, 2009, Janus Balanced Fund, Janus Contrarian Fund, Janus Enterprise Fund, Janus Fund, Janus Growth and Income Fund, Janus Research Core Fund, and Janus Triton Fund acquired all of the net assets of Janus Adviser Balanced Fund, Janus Adviser Contrarian Fund, Janus Adviser Mid Cap Growth Fund, Janus Adviser Large Cap Growth Fund, Janus Adviser Growth and Income Fund, Janus Adviser Research Core Fund, and Janus Adviser Small-Mid Growth Fund, respectively, pursuant to separate plans of reorganization approved by the Trustees of Janus Investment Fund. The reorganization involved certain funds that were a series of the Janus Adviser Series trust (“JAD Trust”) being merged into various corresponding funds of the Trust. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the series of the JAD Trust for the series of the Trust. The table below reflects the merger activity.

11.  Pending 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 in several state and federal jurisdictions 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. 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, two of which still remain: (i) claims by a putative class of shareholders of Janus Capital Group Inc. (“JCGI”) asserting claims on behalf of the shareholders against JCGI and Janus Capital (First Derivative Traders et al. v. Janus Capital Group Inc. et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland, MDL 1586, formerly referred to as Wiggins, et al. v. Janus Capital Group, Inc., et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland, Case No. 04-CV-00818); and (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).
 
In the First Derivative Traders case (action (i) above), a Motion to Dismiss was previously granted and the matter was dismissed in May 2007. Plaintiffs appealed that dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (“Fourth Circuit”). In May 2009, the Fourth Circuit reversed the order of dismissal and remanded the case back to the trial court for further proceedings. In June 2010, the United States Supreme Court agreed to review the Fourth Circuit’s decision. As a result of these developments at the Supreme Court, the trial court has

stayed all further proceedings until the Supreme Court rules on the matter. In the Steinberg case (action (ii) above), the trial court entered an order on January 20, 2010, granting Janus Capital’s Motion for Summary Judgment and dismissing the remaining claims asserted against the company. However, in February 2010, Plaintiffs appealed the trial court’s decision with the Fourth Circuit.
 
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.
 
12.  New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, “Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements.” This Accounting Standards Update will enhance and clarify existing fair value measurement disclosures. The required disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this Accounting Standards Update will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
 
13.  Subsequent Events
 
The Trustees of Janus Research Core Fund have approved the merger of the Fund into Janus Growth and Income Fund, effective on or about January 28, 2011. Effective at the close of trading on November 5, 2010, Janus Research Core Fund was closed to new investors. Effective upon the commencement of the merger, Janus Capital has agreed to reduce the investment advisory fee from 0.62% of average net assets to 0.60% of average net assets. Janus Capital has also agreed until at least February 1, 2012 to reimburse Janus Growth and Income Fund by the amount, if any, that the Fund’s normal operating expenses in any fiscal year, including the investment advisory fee, but excluding class-specific distribution and shareholder servicing fees applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, and Class S Shares, the administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement applicable to Class D Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares, brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes and extraordinary expenses (including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses), exceed an annual rate of 0.70% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
 
On November 9, 2010, the fair market value of Digital Domain was reduced to $1,510,302. This resulted in a NAV impact of $(0.07). This change is not reflected in the September 30, 2010 Schedule of Investments or Financial Statements. The Funds’ investments in this issuer expose investors to negative (or positive) performance resulting from this and other events.
 
Management has evaluated whether any other events or transactions occurred subsequent to September 30, 2010 and through the date of issuance of the Funds’ financial statements and determined that there were no other material events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 
 
 
To the Trustees and Shareholders
of Janus Investment Fund:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Janus Balanced Fund, Janus Contrarian Fund, Janus Enterprise Fund, Janus Forty Fund, Janus Fund, Janus Growth and Income Fund, Janus Research Core Fund, Janus Research Fund, Janus Triton Fund, Janus Twenty Fund and Janus Venture Fund (eleven of the funds constituting Janus Investment Fund, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at September 30, 2010 and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Advisory Agreements During The Period
 
Performance-Based Advisory Fee Proposal – Janus Forty Fund, Janus Fund, and Janus Twenty Fund
 
At meetings of the Trustees held on December 11, 2009 and March 10, 2010 (for Janus Fund), the Trustees, each of whom is an Independent Trustee, meaning he or she is not an “interested person” (as defined by the 1940 Act) of the Trust or Janus Capital and its affiliates, voted unanimously to approve each amended and restated investment advisory agreement between Janus Capital and each of Janus Forty Fund, Janus Fund, and Janus Twenty Fund (the “Amended Advisory Agreement”) and authorized the submission of each Amended Advisory Agreement to each Fund’s shareholders for approval. Shareholders of the Funds approved the Amended Advisory Agreement at special meetings of Shareholders held on June 10, 2010 (for Janus Fund and Janus Twenty Fund) and June 29, 2010 (for Janus Forty Fund). As discussed below, each Amended Advisory Agreement, as approved, includes an advisory fee payable to Janus Capital that will adjust up or down based on each Fund’s total return performance as compared to the performance of the Fund’s benchmark index. Each Amended Advisory Agreement took effect on July 1, 2010.
 
Consideration of the Performance Fee Structure
 
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 performance fee structure, which would include a “Base Fee Rate” for each of those funds at the same rate as the current advisory fee rate, and a Performance Adjustment applied to that rate that would increase or decrease the fee based on whether the fund’s total return performance exceeds or lags a stated relevant benchmark index.
 
Working with Janus Capital to develop a performance fee 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 Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees believe that the fee structure included in the Amended Advisory Agreement 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 maximum and minimum that would result in the Performance Adjustment of up to 0.15% (positive or negative) of a 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 a Fund’s benchmark index, taking into consideration expected tracking error of the Fund, expected returns and potential risks and economics involved for Janus Capital and the Fund’s shareholders. The Trustees also reviewed the structure of performance fees applied by other Janus funds. The Trustees also considered the fact that for purposes of computing the Performance Adjustment, a Fund’s 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 Rate, Janus Capital 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 Funds based on a number of factors, including that each index is broad-based and is composed of securities of the types in which the Funds may invest. The Trustees believe that divergence between the Funds’ 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

210 | September 30, 2010


 

 

 
 
the Funds’ investment objectives and investment policies and restrictions.
 
The Trustees also judged the time periods to be used in determining any Performance Adjustment 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 a Fund and of its benchmark index. In that regard, the Trustees concluded that it would be appropriate for there to be no adjustment to the Base Fee Rate for at least the first 12 months for Janus Fund and 18 months for Janus Forty Fund and Janus Twenty Fund, after the effective date of the performance-based fee structure outlined in the Amended Advisory Agreement and that, once implemented, the Performance Adjustment should reflect only a 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 thirty-six month rolling performance measurement period.
 
In considering the Amended Advisory Agreement, and the performance fee structure reflected in the Amendment, 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.
 
In considering whether to approve the Amended Advisory Agreement, the Board of Trustees noted that, except for the performance-based fee structure, the Amended Advisory Agreement was substantially similar to the current Investment Advisory Agreement, which was most recently approved by them at a meeting held on December 11, 2009, and the Board took note of their findings with respect to that approval. 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.
 
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 objectives and strategies of the Funds 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 Agreement.
 
The Trustees concluded that the Amended Advisory Agreement for the Funds 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 Agreement. 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 Agreement; (ii) the key factors identified in materials 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 Agreement, 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.
 
The Trustees considered the structure by which Janus Capital would be paid for their services, including the implementation of the new performance-based fee structure for the Funds. 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 the Funds was comparable to or more favorable than the median expense ratio of its peers, and that the fees that the Funds will pay to Janus Capital 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 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 the Funds’ performance with the performance of comparable funds and peer groups

Additional Information (unaudited) (continued)

 
 
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 may have lagged benchmark indices for certain periods, the Trustees also concluded that the manner in which Janus Capital addressed those instances of underperformance was appropriate.
 
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 Agreement and the fees to be paid by the Funds for such services, the Funds and Janus Capital may potentially benefit from their relationship with one another in other ways. They also concluded that success of the relationship between the Funds and Janus Capital could attract other business to Janus Capital or to other Janus funds, and that the success of Janus Capital could enhance the firm’s ability to serve the Funds. They also concluded that Janus Capital may potentially benefit from the receipt of proprietary and third-party research products and services to be acquired through commissions paid on portfolio transactions of the Funds or other funds in the Janus complex, and that the Funds may potentially benefit from Janus Capital’s receipt of those products and services, as well as research products and services acquired through commissions paid by other clients of Janus Capital. The Trustees further concluded that Janus Capital’s use of “soft” commission dollars to obtain proprietary and third-party research products and services was consistent with regulatory requirements and guidelines and was likely to benefit the Funds.
 
After full consideration of the above factors, as well as other factors, the Trustees concluded that approving each Amended Advisory Agreement for each Fund was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Explanations of Charts, Tables and
Financial Statements (unaudited)

 
 
 
1.  Performance Overviews
 
Performance overview graphs compare the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each Fund (from inception) with one or more widely used market indices. The hypothetical example does not represent the returns of any particular investment.
 
When comparing the performance of a Fund with an index, keep in mind that market indices do not include brokerage commissions that would be incurred if you purchased the individual securities in the index. They also do not include taxes payable on dividends and interest or operating expenses incurred if you maintained a Fund invested in the index.
 
Average annual total returns are also quoted for each Fund. Average annual total return is calculated by taking the growth or decline in value of an investment over a period of time, including reinvestment of dividends and distributions, then calculating the annual compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same result had the rate of growth been constant throughout the period. Average annual total return does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
 
Pursuant to federal securities rules, expense ratios shown in the performance chart reflect subsidized and unsubsidized ratios for the past fiscal year. The total annual fund operating expenses ratio is gross of any fee waivers, reflecting a Fund’s unsubsidized expense ratio. The net annual fund operating expenses ratio (if applicable) includes contractual waivers of Janus Capital and/or Janus Services and reflects a Fund’s subsidized expense ratio. Both the total annual fund operating expenses ratio and net annual fund operating expenses ratio are estimated for the fiscal year. The ratios also include expenses indirectly incurred by a Fund as a result of investing in other investment companies or pooled investments, which are not reflected in the “Financial Highlights” of this report. As a result, these ratios may be higher or lower than those shown in the “Financial Highlights” in this report. 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
2.  Schedules of Investments
 
Following the performance overview section is each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. This schedule reports the industry concentrations and types of securities held in each Fund on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are usually listed by type (common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. Government obligations, etc.) and by industry classification (banking, communications, insurance, etc.). Holdings are subject to change without notice.
 
The value of each security is quoted as of the last day of the reporting period. The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies is converted into U.S. dollars.
 
If a Fund invests in foreign securities, it will also provide a summary of investments by country. This summary reports each Fund’s exposure to different countries by providing the percentage of securities invested in each country. The country of each security represents the country in which the company is incorporated. Each Fund’s Schedule of Investments relies upon the industry group and country classifications published by Bloomberg L.P.
 
2a. Forward Currency Contracts
 
A table listing forward currency contracts follows each Fund’s Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Forward currency contracts are agreements to deliver or receive a preset amount of currency at a future date. Forward currency contracts are used to hedge against foreign currency risk in the Funds’ long-term holdings.
 
The table provides the name of the foreign currency, the settlement date of the contract, the amount of the contract, the value of the currency in U.S. dollars and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the change in currency exchange rates from the time the contract was opened to the last day of the reporting period.
 
2b. Futures
 
A table listing futures contracts follows each Fund’s Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Futures contracts are contracts that obligate the buyer to receive and the seller to deliver an instrument or money at a specified price on a specified date. Futures are used to hedge against adverse movements in securities prices, currency risk or interest rates.
 
The table provides the name of the contract, number of contracts held, the expiration date, the principal amount, value and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the marked-to-market amount for the last day of the reporting period.
 
2c. Options
 
A table listing written options contracts follows each Fund’s Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Written options contracts are contracts that obligate a Fund to sell or purchase an underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. Options are used to hedge against

Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 
 
adverse movements in securities prices, currency risk or interest rates.
 
The table provides the name of the contract, number of contracts held, the expiration date, exercise price, value and premiums received.
 
3.  Statements of Assets and Liabilities
 
These statements are often referred to as the “balance sheets.” It lists the assets and liabilities of the Funds on the last day of the reporting period.
 
The Funds’ assets are calculated by adding the value of the securities owned, the receivable for securities sold but not yet settled, the receivable for dividends declared but not yet received on stocks owned and the receivable for Fund shares sold to investors but not yet settled. The Funds’ liabilities include payables for securities purchased but not yet settled, Fund shares redeemed but not yet paid and expenses owed but not yet paid. Additionally, there may be other assets and liabilities such as unrealized gain or loss on forward currency contracts.
 
The section entitled “Net Assets Consist of” breaks down the components of the Funds’ net assets. Because the Funds must distribute substantially all earnings, you will notice that a significant portion of net assets is shareholder capital.
 
The last section of this statement reports the net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the Funds’ net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding.
 
4.  Statements of Operations
 
These statements detail the Funds’ income, expenses, gains and losses on securities and currency transactions, and appreciation or depreciation of current Fund holdings.
 
The first section in this statement, entitled “Investment Income,” reports the dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the Funds.
 
The next section reports the expenses incurred by the Funds, including the advisory fee paid to the investment adviser, transfer agent fees and expenses, and printing and postage for mailing statements, financial reports and prospectuses. Expense offsets and expense reimbursements, if any, are also shown.
 
The last section lists the increase or decrease in the value of securities held in the Funds. The Funds will realize a gain (or loss) when they sell their position in a particular security. An unrealized gain (or loss) refers to the change in net appreciation or depreciation of the Funds during the reporting period. “Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) on Investments” is affected both by changes in the market value of Fund holdings and by gains (or losses) realized during the reporting period.
 
5.  Statements of Changes in Net Assets
 
These statements report the increase or decrease in the Funds’ net assets during the reporting period. Changes in the Funds’ net assets are attributable to investment operations, dividends, distributions and capital share transactions. This is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the Funds’ net asset size to change during the period.
 
The first section summarizes the information from the Statements of Operations regarding changes in net assets due to the Funds’ investment performance. The Funds’ net assets may also change as a result of dividend and capital gains distributions to investors. If investors receive their dividends in cash, money is taken out of the Funds to pay the distribution. If investors reinvest their dividends, the Funds’ net assets will not be affected. If you compare each Fund’s “Net Decrease from Dividends and Distributions” to the “Reinvested dividends and distributions,” you will notice that dividend distributions had little effect on each Fund’s net assets. This is because the majority of Janus investors reinvest their distributions.
 
The reinvestment of dividends is included under “Capital Share Transactions.” “Capital Shares” refers to the money investors contribute to the Funds through purchases or withdrawals via redemptions. The Funds’ net assets will increase and decrease in value as investors purchase and redeem shares from the Funds.
 
6.  Financial Highlights
 
This schedule provides a per-share breakdown of the components that affect each Fund’s NAV for current and past reporting periods. Not only does this table provide you with total return, it also reports total distributions, asset size, expense ratios and portfolio turnover rate.
 
The first line in the table reflects the NAV per share at the beginning of the reporting period. The next line reports the net investment income per share, which comprises dividends and interest income earned on securities held by the Funds. Following is the total of gains/(losses), realized and unrealized. Dividends and distributions are then subtracted to arrive at the NAV per share at the end of the period. The next line reflects the average annual total return reported the last day of the period. The total return may include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, the

214 | September 30, 2010


 

 

 
 
total return may differ from the total return reflected for shareholder transactions.
 
Also included are the expense ratios, or the percentage of average net assets that were used to cover operating expenses during the period. Expense ratios vary across the Funds within the Trust for a number of reasons, including the differences in management fees, the frequency of dividend payments and the extent of foreign investments, which entail greater transaction costs.
 
The Funds’ expenses may be reduced through expense-reduction arrangements. These arrangements may include the use of balance credits or transfer agent fee offsets. The Statements of Operations reflect total expenses before any such offset, the amount of the offset and the net expenses. The expense ratios listed in the Financial Highlights reflect total expenses prior to any expense offset (gross expense ratio) and after the expense offsets (net expense ratio). Both expense ratios reflect expenses after waivers (reimbursements), if applicable.
 
The ratio of net investment income/(loss) summarizes the income earned less expenses, divided by the average net assets of a Fund during the reporting period. Don’t confuse this ratio with a Fund’s yield. The net investment income ratio is not a true measure of a Fund’s yield because it doesn’t take into account the dividends distributed to the Fund’s investors.
 
The next figure is the portfolio turnover rate, which measures the buying and selling activity in a Fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the asset size of a Fund, the nature of the Fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager. A 100% rate implies that an amount equal to the value of the entire portfolio is turned over in a year; a 50% rate means that an amount equal to the value of half the portfolio is traded in a year; and a 200% rate means that an amount equal to the value of the portfolio is traded every six months.

The Funds’ Statement of Additional Information includes additional information about the Trustees and officers and is available, without charge, by calling 1-877-335-2687 (or 1-800-525-3713 if you hold Shares directly with Janus Capital).
 
The following are the Trustees and officers of the Trust, together with a brief description of their principal occupations during the last five years (principal occupations for certain Trustees may include periods over five years).
 
Each Trustee has served in that capacity since he or she was originally elected or appointed. The Trustees do not serve a specified term of office. Each Trustee will hold office until the termination of the Trust or his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, incapacity, or removal. Pursuant to the Funds’ Governance Procedures and Guidelines, Trustees are required to retire no later than the end of the calendar year in which the Trustee turns 72. The Trustees review the Funds’ Governance Procedures and Guidelines from time to time and may make changes they deem appropriate. The Trust’s Nominating and Governance Committee will consider nominees for the position of Trustee recommended by shareholders. Shareholders may submit the name of a candidate for consideration by the Committee by submitting their recommendations to the Trust’s Secretary. Each Trustee is currently a Trustee of one other registered investment company advised by Janus Capital: Janus Aspen Series. Collectively, these two registered investment companies consist of 48 series or funds.
 
The Trust’s officers are elected annually by the Trustees for a one-year term. Certain officers also serve as officers of Janus Aspen Series. Certain officers of the Funds may also be officers and/or directors of Janus Capital.

Janus provides access to a wide range of investment disciplines.
 
Alternative
Janus alternative funds seek to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle with lower correlation to equity markets than traditional investments.
 
Asset Allocation
Janus’ asset allocation funds utilize our fundamental, bottom-up research to balance risk over the long term. From fund options that meet investors’ risk tolerance and objectives to a method that incorporates non-traditional investment choices to seek non-correlated sources of risk and return, Janus’ asset allocation funds aim to allocate risk more effectively.
 
Core
Janus core funds seek investments in more stable and predictable companies. These funds look for a strategic combination of steady growth and for certain funds, some degree of income.
 
Fixed Income
Janus bond funds attempt to provide less risk relative to equities while seeking to deliver a competitive total return through high current income and appreciation. Janus money market funds seek capital preservation and liquidity with current income as a secondary objective.
 
Global & International
Janus global and international funds seek to leverage Janus’ research capabilities by taking advantage of inefficiencies in foreign markets, where accurate information and analytical insight are often at a premium.
 
Growth
Janus growth funds focus on companies believed to be the leaders in their respective industries, with solid management teams, expanding market share, margins and efficiencies.
 
Risk Managed
Our risk-managed funds seek to outperform their respective indices while maintaining a risk profile equal to or lower than the index itself. Managed by INTECH (a Janus subsidiary), these funds use a mathematical process in an attempt to build a more “efficient” portfolio than the index.
 
Value
Janus value funds invest in companies they believe are poised for a turnaround or are trading at a significant discount to fair value. The goal is to gain unique insight into a company’s true value and identify and evaluate potential catalysts that may unlock shareholder value.

Chief Investment Officer’s Market Perspective (unaudited)

(JEFF KAUTZ PHOTO)
Jeff Kautz
Chief Investment
Officer
 

 
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your investment with Perkins. As we look back over the last twelve months, we are pleased to have participated in the market rally. It is our belief that the worst of the financial crisis is behind us and the risk of a double dip recession is off the table for now. However, a continued subdued recovery has yet to overcome several substantial barriers to robust growth. Given tepid economic expansion, growing government budget deficits, increased government regulation, high unemployment rates, stalled income growth and the weak housing market, it seems unlikely the economy will fully shake off the recessionary doldrums anytime soon. Our best guess is that we are in for a multi-year period of subpar economic growth as we continue to work through the deleveraging process.
 
Our concerns about how these challenges may affect financial markets tend to be more intermediate to longer term in nature. In our opinion, the key issue is high debt, and we expect government debt and deficits, both foreign and domestic, to continue to have a negative impact on gross domestic product (GDP). Couple this with a weak U.S. job market and it is difficult to envision a scenario where unemployment declines significantly from its near 10% level. This stall in job and income growth, in addition to the substantial overhang of foreclosure inventory, likely will delay a meaningful housing recovery. Hence our belief that interest rates will stay low as central banks worldwide maintain loose monetary policy to promote stronger economic expansion through employment growth.
 
Equity volatility remained a central theme throughout the fiscal year. But for Perkins, there was a silver lining: we were able to invest in a number of large high-quality companies that we would have avoided before because their valuations were simply too rich. At various points over the past year, we have found valuations to be incredibly compelling, and future market pullbacks should continue to offer opportunities to buy high quality companies at a discount.
 
Despite these attractive valuations, we continue to be amazed at the amount of money flowing out of equities and into fixed income. The bond rally has resulted in junk bond issuance at its highest level since before the credit crisis, and Blue Chip companies like IBM and Microsoft have issued short-term debt at 1% or less. This makes equities look all the more attractive relative to bonds – from a dividend yield, free cash flow yield and valuation standpoint. We think large cap stocks, in particular, offer the most compelling reward/risk ratios, with less absolute price risk relative to smaller cap stocks. Any reversal of flows into equities could provide a lift to equities too.
 
Recently, the S&P 500 has been selling at about 13.5x earnings based on index earnings expectations of $87 (as of 9/30/10). We think this is reasonable, especially in the context of low interest rates. Given the tenuous, longer-term economic situation, however, any strong run-up in equity prices would reduce significantly the number of attractive reward/risk opportunities available to us. As a result, our portfolio team continues to closely examine the potential risks of macro issues such as unemployment, housing, deleveraging and consumer spending. Other items worth watching include the impact of government economic intervention and the potential rise in merger and acquisitions (M&A).
 
In 2010, massive legislative experiments with health care and financial reform became law. The ultimate outcomes of these laws remains unknown, as various details surrounding implementation have yet to be finalized. Much of this uncertainty has been priced into the markets, offering select buying opportunities, but these factors have remained important risk considerations when constructing our portfolios. On the whole, we remain comfortable with our investments in these sectors. Our extensive fundamental research has identified numerous financially strong companies trading at attractive prices that we think are well positioned to navigate and potentially benefit from the long-term implications of reform.
 
We expect the surge in M&A activity to continue. Corporations have been running very lean with little pricing power to drive top-line revenue, and balance sheets remain flush with cash. For these reasons, firms may look to M&A to help drive earnings growth. Historically, roughly 5% to 10% of firms held in our portfolios have been acquired in any given year. While this percentage fell off significantly through 2007-2009, there has been an uptick in 2010, and several Perkins portfolio

holdings have either been bought out or have received takeout offers year to date. We do not necessarily buy stocks based on M&A expectations, and instead see it more as an affirmation of our research process when it occurs. Our focus is on identifying attractively priced, high-quality companies with strong balance sheets and solid recurring free cash flows, and it is unsurprising to us when another company or private equity firm recognizes these firms’ true value when the market fails to do so.
 
Outlook
 
With the uncertainties in the marketplace, we continue to be extremely risk sensitive in our portfolios. This is, of course, nothing new to the Perkins investment style. Our rigorous focus on downside exposure has remained a cornerstone of our disciplined investment process that traces its roots back more than 30 years. We focus on risk first and foremost before evaluating upside potential, employing extensive bottom-up, fundamental research to identify high-quality, financially strong firms trading at attractive valuations. By investing in companies with solid, sustainable cash flows, strong balance sheets and attractive reward/risk ratios, we seek to minimize capital losses in difficult markets while participating in equity rallies. Historically, this approach has helped us achieve our goal of compounding at a greater rate than most of our peers and our respective benchmarks over full market cycles.
 
We think this risk-managed investment approach is especially appropriate now, given our significant concerns about the current economic environment. Equity markets continue to shrug off bad news, but they do not appear to be on strong financial footing. Therefore, we think the investment climate will remain challenging and volatile in the foreseeable future. Despite this, we expect to continue to find compelling value opportunities on a selective basis. We believe firmly in our intensive investment process, and our portfolio team remains heavily invested in our strategies alongside our clients.
 
Thank you for your continued confidence in Perkins Investment Management. We hope to serve your value investment needs for many years to come.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
(-s- JEFF KAUTZ)

Useful Information About Your Fund Report (unaudited)

 
Management Commentary
 
The Management Commentary in this report includes valuable insight from the Fund’s manager as well as statistical information to help you understand how your Fund’s performance and characteristics stack up against those of comparable indices.
 
If the Fund invests in foreign securities, this report may include information about country exposure. Country exposure is based primarily on the country of domicile. However, the Fund’s manager may allocate a company to a country based on other factors such as location of the company’s principal office, the location of the principal trading market for the company’s securities, or the country where a majority of the company’s revenues are derived.
 
Please keep in mind that the opinions expressed by the Fund’s manager in the Management Commentary are just that: opinions. They are a reflection of the manager’s best judgment at the time this report was compiled, which was September 30, 2010. As the investing environment changes, so could the manager’s opinions. These views are unique to each manager and aren’t necessarily shared by fellow employees or by Janus in general.
 
Fund Expenses
 
We believe it’s important for our shareholders to have a clear understanding of Fund expenses and the impact they have on investment return.
 
The following is important information regarding the Fund’s Expense Example, which appears in the Fund’s Management Commentary within this Annual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Fund.
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (applicable to Class A Shares only); redemption fees, where applicable (and any related exchange fees); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class S Shares only); administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement (applicable to Class D Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares only); administrative fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares only); and other Fund expenses. The example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The example is based upon an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six-month period from April 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010.
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line of the table in each example provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table in each example provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based upon the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees (where applicable) and any related exchange fees. These fees are fully described in the prospectus. Therefore, the second line of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fund Snapshot

Performance Overview
 
Perkins Global Value Fund’s Class T Shares returned 7.61% over the 11-month period ended September 30, 2010, underperforming its primary benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index, which returned 8.69% during the period.
 
Transition to Perkins Investment Management
 
The Fund transitioned to Perkins Investment Management during the period. One aspect of the transition, which was implemented during the fourth quarter of the Fund’s fiscal year, was the addition of a significant number of new holdings, in keeping with a more diversified approach to the Fund’s management. Similar to the past, the Fund will continue to seek to invest in attractively-valued companies of any size throughout the world that are trading at discounted prices with favorable risk-reward characteristics.
 
Economic Overview
 
Global equity indices posted gains for the 11-month period. U.S. stocks outperformed international stocks, while emerging markets gained the most. The dollar was modestly stronger, though traded across a wide range against major counterparts around the world. Traditionally economically-sensitive sectors including consumer discretionary, industrials and materials led the advance.
 
Today markets seem fixated on the prospects for additional monetary easing in the U.S., or so-called “QE2”. This appears to be bolstering both equities and Treasurys, while hurting the dollar. Underpinning the case for equities is continued strength in corporate profits, which as noted in prior commentaries are expected to reach record levels in 2011. However, the global economy seems to be weakening, with numerous indicators suggesting that real economic growth is trending lower. In their paper “After the Fall,” presented at a recent U.S. Federal Reserve symposium in Jackson Hole, WY, Carmen Reinhart, an economics professor at the University of Maryland, and Vincent Reinhart, an economist with The American Enterprise Institute, detail how it is common in the aftermath of credit-fueled booms to have lengthy periods of retrenchment. Government authorities face significant challenges in determining effective policy actions, and global coordination seems to be suffering. Aggregate debt levels in the system continued to grow, as increases in government borrowing have more than offset deleveraging in the private sector.
 
In our view, there is an increasing disconnect between the optimism in stock prices and an economic environment in which it is easy to point to significant risks, even though we fully admit we do not see with any great clarity into the future. We have seen this disconnect reflected in generally less attractive reward-to-risk ratios in the stocks our research effort tracks. For example, consumer discretionary stocks led the market over the past year, and in the U.S. in particular there is a renewed sense of optimism regarding retailers’ ability to grow earnings at attractive rates in the years ahead. But it is also the case that households – i.e. the customer – have sustained massive balance sheet losses in the recession, and many have found themselves either out of work or under-employed. Or, consider the position of central bankers at the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), the Bank of England and to a lesser extent (currently) their counterparts at the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan. They have all been involved in buying up securities – typically government bonds – from the private markets, in an effort to stimulate their respective economies. But there is little in the way of historical examples to guide us in our thinking about the potential impacts of these monetary actions. Put differently, many of the recent policies of central banks have in fact been of an extraordinary nature. Or consider the economic authorities in various emerging market countries, which while experiencing strong economic growth have been effectively forced into ultra-loose money policies by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, or else suffer the consequences of rising (perhaps significantly) currencies against the dollar.

We continue to be mindful of the difficulties in the economic environment – particularly those which are likely to be in place for a considerable period of time – in our daily research and portfolio management activities. Perhaps more importantly, we aim to exhibit discipline in our buying and selling actions, purchasing stocks only when we believe the price is reflective of the potential risks involved and trimming positions or selling them outright when we no longer see a margin of safety.
 
Detractors from Performance
 
Stock selection in information technology, industrials and energy hurt performance during the period, as did our underweight materials position. Our stock selection in the U.S. was the primary geographic detractor relative to the index. In addition, our average 18% cash position weighed on performance, as it earns essentially zero return in the current interest rate environment.
 
Pasona Group, Inc. was the biggest individual detractor. This temporary staffing company has seen its profits drop dramatically as a result of the economic downturn and, in our view, relatively lax expense management. We significantly reduced the size of our holding in Pasona during the period, as part of a more diversified approach we are taking with our Japanese small-cap holdings.
 
Energy stocks underperformed during the period relative to the index, and although we continued to be underweight our holdings of Exxon Mobil Corp., Total S.A. and BP PLC hurt results. We believe energy has a bright future, though acknowledge that the current economic environment and incremental supply discoveries are reasons for caution.
 
Among our information technology holdings, Symantec Corp. was the biggest detractor. This security software and storage company has disappointed the market with lackluster operating performance for some time now. Due to consolidation in its various businesses, the company has recently been the subject of heightened takeover speculation.
 
Contributors to Performance
 
Our holdings in financials, consumer discretionary and consumer staples contributed the most to performance, primarily via stock selection but also as a result of group weight. From a geographic perspective, stock selection in Japan and stock selection and our underweight in developed Europe ex-U.K. aided results.
 
Among individual contributors Nissin Healthcare, the leading caterer to health care institutions in Japan, was the best performer by a wide margin. The company received a buyout offer from management for a roughly 50% premium, and since this position was among the top 10 for the portfolio prior to the offer, the contribution to performance was significant. We exited the position prior to period end. Considering the ramifications of this deal on our Japanese holdings more generally, it was encouraging to see a management team (which controlled approximately 60% of the company prior to the offer) take a bold action which led to a closing of the gap between stock price and what we believe to be business value. However, it was also cautionary in that the deal valuation in our view was not “full”, and we can see clearly that absent such a move by management the stock price was able to languish at a price well below our view of value for a substantial period of time. In general, and particularly among our small cap holdings in Japan, we have chosen a diversified approach with relatively small individual position sizes.
 
Willis Group Holdings, Ltd. was another leading contributor. This global insurance broker has been generating reasonably good operating results, though remains under pressure as a result of a continuing weak insurance pricing market. Nestle S.A. also aided results during the period, and was the leading contributor among our consumer staples holdings. The world’s largest food company continued to deliver strong operating results and we believe is on a path to possibly higher cash returns to shareholders after the pending completion of its sizeable divestiture of Alcon.
 
Portfolio Positioning & Outlook
 
Much regarding the Fund’s positioning remained the same over the course of the year. We have had large consumer staples and health care positions, and were overweight telecommunications as well. From a geographic perspective, we were overweight Japan, South Korea, the U.K. and Switzerland. We have had a large cash position –19.5% of the portfolio at period end – which is a reflection of some difficulty in finding stocks which have excellent risk-reward characteristics, in our view. We were approximately 63% hedged against our Japanese yen exposure. Please see the Derivative Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for a discussion of derivatives used by the Fund.
 
Currently there are two areas within the market which we believe offer particularly compelling risk-reward characteristics: large “basic goods” and/or “high quality” companies, and Japanese small caps. Companies in the first bucket tend to have revenues derived from high volumes and low price points, are highly profitable,

generate significant free cash flow, have strong balance sheets and are often global in scope. We have many such holdings in the portfolio, across a number of sectors. The second area of the market we find particularly attractive today is in Japan, at the lower end of the market cap spectrum. These companies are typically characterized by their super-strong balance sheets, histories of profitable operations and tangible book value growth, and significant insider ownership. The portfolio currently holds between 15 and 20 of these names.
 
Our investment philosophy centers on the belief that protecting on the downside is of the utmost importance. When examining markets and stocks in this manner, we believe it is easy to see that there is much to be worried about today. Whether it be central banks’ easy money policies leading to inflation, or the potential for corporate profits to normalize (which would in practice mean decline), or the ultimate impact of ever-increasing government debt-loads on the economy, or some other factor, we believe there are many reasons for caution today.
 
Thus, as we search the markets for investment opportunity, we do so with these (and other) potential risks firmly in mind. We believe that our emphasis on balance sheets, free cash flows and reasonable valuations will allow us to generate attractive results over the long-term, without taking undue risk along the way.

Performance shown for Class C Shares includes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on periods of less than 12 months. Performance shown at Net Asset Value (NAV) does not include this sales charge and would have been lower had this sales charge been taken into account.
 
For Class D Shares, Class I Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares, a 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 90 days or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.
 
Expense information shown reflects estimated annualized expenses that the share classes of the Fund expect to incur during the fiscal year. The expense information shown includes administrative fee expenses, if applicable. 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
The Fund has a performance-based management fee that adjusts up or down based on the Fund’s performance relative to an approved benchmark index over a performance measurement period.
 
The Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with undervalued or overlooked companies, investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest with the Janus “funds of funds.” Additional risks to the Fund may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings and derivatives. Please see a Janus prospectus or janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Capital) for more information about risks, portfolio holdings and other details.
 
Foreign securities have additional risks including exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The prices of foreign securities held by the Fund, and therefore the Fund’s performance, may decline in response to such risks.
 
The Fund invests in derivatives which can be highly volatile and involve additional risks than if the underlying securities were held directly by the Fund. Such risks include gains or losses which, as a result of leverage, can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. There is also a possibility that derivatives may not perform as intended which can reduce opportunity for gains or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other securities the Fund owns.
 
Returns include reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and distributions from capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns do not include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes.
 
Net dividends reinvested are the dividends that remain to be reinvested after foreign tax obligations have been met. Such obligations vary from country to country.
 
Due to certain investment strategies, the Fund may have an increased position in cash.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Perkins Global Value Fund renamed Class J Shares to Class T Shares.
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Perkins Global Value Fund’s Class J Shares held in accounts directly with Janus were moved into newly created Class D Shares.
 
Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If each class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for each respective class may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of each share class reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares. If Class D Shares had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class I Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares, the initial share class, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class I Shares had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class I Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.

Notes to Financial Statements

 
The following section describes the organization and significant accounting policies and provides more detailed information about the schedules and tables that appear throughout this report. In addition, the Notes to Financial Statements explain the methods used in preparing and presenting this report.
 
1.  Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Perkins Global Value Fund (formerly named Janus Global Opportunities Fund) is a series fund. The Fund is part of Janus Investment Fund (the “Trust”), which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. On November 1, 2009, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to September 30. Accordingly, these financial statements include information for the eleven-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2010. The Trust offers thirty-eight funds which include multiple series of shares, with differing investment objectives and policies. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities. The Fund is classified as diversified, as defined in the 1940 Act.
 
The Fund in this report offers multiple classes of shares in order to meet the needs of various types of investors. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain financial intermediaries may not offer all classes of shares.
 
Class A Shares and Class C Shares are generally offered through financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, traditional brokerage platforms, mutual fund wrap fee programs, bank trust platforms, and retirement platforms. The maximum purchase in Class C Shares is $500,000 for any single purchase.
 
Class D Shares are generally no longer being made available to new investors who do not already have a direct account with the Janus funds. The Shares are available only to investors who held accounts directly with the Janus funds as of July 6, 2009 and to immediate family members or members of the same household of an eligible individual investor. The Shares are not offered through financial intermediaries.
 
Class I Shares are available through certain financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, mutual fund wrap fee programs, managed account programs, asset allocation programs, and bank trust platforms, as well as certain retirement platforms. Class I Shares are also available to certain institutional investors including, but not limited to, corporations, certain retirement plans, public plans, and foundations/endowments.
 
Class S Shares are offered through financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, retirement platforms and asset allocation, mutual fund wrap, or other discretionary or nondiscretionary fee-based investment advisory programs. In addition, Class S Shares may be available through certain financial intermediaries who have an agreement with Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus Capital”) or its affiliates to offer Class S Shares on their supermarket platforms.
 
Class T Shares are available through certain financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, mutual fund wrap fee programs, managed account programs, asset allocation programs, bank trust platforms, and certain retirement platforms. In addition, Class T Shares may be available through certain financial intermediaries who have an agreement with Janus Capital or its affiliates to offer Class T Shares on their supermarket platforms.
 
The following accounting policies have been followed by the Fund and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America within the investment management industry.
 
Investment Valuation
Securities are valued at the last sales price or the official closing price for securities traded on a principal securities exchange (U.S. or foreign) and on the NASDAQ National Market. Securities traded on over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets and listed securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the latest bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) obtained from one or more dealers transacting in a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by the Fund’s Trustees. Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service. The evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service is an evaluation that reflects such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings. Short positions shall be valued in accordance with the same methodologies, except that in the event that a last sale price is not available, the latest ask price shall be used instead of a bid price. Foreign securities and currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate in effect as of the daily close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). When market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, or events or circumstances that may affect the value of portfolio securities held by the Fund are identified between the closing of their principal markets and the time the net asset value (“NAV”) is determined, securities may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the

24 | September 30, 2010


 

 

supervision of the Fund’s Trustees. Circumstances in which fair value pricing may be utilized include, but are not limited to: (i) a significant event that may affect the securities of a single issuer, such as a merger, bankruptcy, or significant issuer specific development; (ii) an event that may affect an entire market, such as a natural disaster or significant governmental action; (iii) a nonsignificant event such as a market closing early or not opening, or a security trading halt; and (iv) pricing of a non-valued security and a restricted or non-public security. The Fund may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service to value foreign equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the NYSE. Restricted and illiquid securities are valued in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Trustees.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for as of the date purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded as soon as the Trust is informed of the dividend, if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities may be subject to withholding taxes in foreign jurisdictions. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Income, as well as gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of total net assets.
 
Expenses
The Fund bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf, as well as a portion of general expenses, which may be allocated pro rata to the Fund. Each class of shares bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf and, in addition, each class bears a portion of general expenses, which are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of total net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged against the operations of such class.
 
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Foreign Currency Translations
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held at the date of the financial statements. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and foreign currency translations arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities held at the date of the financial statements, resulting from changes in the exchange rates and changes in market prices of securities held.
 
Currency gains and losses are also calculated on payables and receivables that are denominated in foreign currencies. The payables and receivables are generally related to foreign security transactions and income.
 
Foreign currency-denominated assets and forward currency contracts may involve more risks than domestic transactions, including currency risk, political and economic risk, regulatory risk and equity risk. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Dividend Distributions
The Fund generally declares and distributes dividends of net investment income and realized capital gains (if any) annually. The majority of dividends and capital gains distributions from the Fund may be automatically reinvested into additional shares of the Fund, based on the discretion of the shareholder.
 
Federal Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Fund intends to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise complies with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.
 
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance, the Fund adopted the provisions of “Income Taxes.” These provisions require an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense on the Statements of Operations.
 
These provisions require management of the Fund to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the Statute of Limitations, for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of and during the eleven-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2010, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund has no examinations in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
 
Valuation Inputs Summary
In accordance with FASB guidance, the Fund utilizes the “Fair Value Measurements” to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and expand disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The Fair Value Measurement Standard does not require new fair value measurements, but is applied to the extent that other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. This standard emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments defined pursuant to this standard. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
 
Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing a security and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, and others.
 
Debt securities are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service and generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Securities traded on OTC markets and listed securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the latest bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) obtained from one or more dealers transacting in a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by the Fund’s Trustees and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Other securities that are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy include, but are not limited to, preferred stocks, bank loans, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), warrants, swaps, investments in mutual funds, OTC options, and forward contracts. The Fund may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service to value foreign equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the NYSE. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
 
Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing the security and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
 
For restricted equity securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used in employing valuation techniques such as the market approach, the income approach, or the cost approach, as defined under the FASB Guidance. These are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
 
There have been no significant changes in valuation techniques used in valuing any such positions held by the Fund since the beginning of the fiscal period.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The summary of inputs used as of September 30, 2010 to value the Fund’s investments in securities and other financial instruments is included in the “Valuation Inputs Summary” and “Level 3 Valuation Reconciliation of Assets” (if applicable) in the Notes to Schedule of Investments.
 
In April 2009, FASB issued “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability

26 | September 30, 2010


 

 

Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with Fair Value Measurements when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. Additionally, it amends the Fair Value Measurement Standard by expanding disclosure requirements for reporting entities surrounding the major categories of assets and liabilities carried at fair value. The required disclosures have been incorporated into the “Valuation Inputs Summary” in the Notes to Schedule of Investments. Management believes applying this guidance does not have a material impact on the financial statements.
 
The Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (the “Update”), effective September 30, 2010. This Update applies to the Fund’s disclosures about transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers. Disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for investments that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value hierarchy are summarized under the Level 2 and Level 3 categories listed above. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the period.
 
The Fund recognizes transfers between the levels as of the beginning of the year.
 
2.  Derivative Instruments
 
The Fund may invest in various types of derivatives which may at times result in significant derivative exposure. A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments including, but not limited to: futures contracts, put options, call options, options on future contracts, options on foreign currencies, swaps, forward contracts, structured investments, and other equity-linked derivatives. A summary of derivative activity is reflected in the tables at the end of this section.
 
The Fund may use derivative instruments for hedging (to offset risks associated with an investment, currency exposure, or market conditions) or for speculative (to seek to enhance returns) purposes. When the Fund invests in a derivative for speculative purposes, the Fund will be fully exposed to the risks of loss of that derivative, which may sometimes be greater than the cost of the derivative. The Fund may not use any derivative to gain exposure to an asset or class of assets prohibited by its investment restrictions from purchasing directly. The Fund’s ability to use derivative instruments may also be limited by tax considerations.
 
Investments in derivatives are generally subject to equity risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Investments in derivatives may not directly correlate with the price movements of the underlying instrument. As a result, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to additional risks that it would not be subject to if it invested directly in the securities underlying those derivatives. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than otherwise would be the case. Derivatives can be volatile and may involve significant risks, including, but not limited to, counterparty risk, credit risk, currency risk, equity risk, index risk, interest rate risk, leverage risk, and liquidity risk.
 
Derivatives may generally be traded OTC or on an exchange. Derivatives traded OTC, such as structured notes, are agreements that are individually negotiated between parties and can be tailored to meet a purchaser’s needs. OTC derivatives are not guaranteed by a clearing agency and may be subject to increased credit risk.
 
In an effort to mitigate credit risk associated with derivatives traded OTC, the Fund may enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties whereby, subject to certain minimum exposure requirements, the Fund may require the counterparty to post collateral if the Fund has a net aggregate unrealized gain on all OTC derivative contracts with a particular counterparty. There is no guarantee that counterparty exposure is reduced and these arrangements are dependent on Janus Capital’s ability to establish and maintain appropriate systems and trading.
 
In pursuit of its investment objective, the Fund may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease exposure to the following market risk factors:
 
  •  Counterparty Risk – Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty or a third party will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.
 
  •  Credit Risk – Credit risk is the risk an issuer will be unable to make principal and interest payments when due, or will default on its obligations.
 
  •  Currency Risk – Currency risk is the risk that changes in the exchange rate between currencies will adversely affect the value (in U.S. dollar terms) of an investment.
 
  •  Equity Risk – Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
 
  •  Index Risk – If the derivative is linked to the performance of an index, it will be subject to the risks associated with changes in that index. If the index changes, the Fund could receive lower

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

  interest payments or experience a reduction in the value of the derivative to below what the Fund paid. Certain indexed securities, including inverse securities (which move in an opposite direction to the index), may create leverage, to the extent that they increase or decrease in value at a rate that is a multiple of the changes in the applicable index.

 
  •  Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of fixed-income securities will generally decline as prevailing interest rates rise, which may cause the Fund’s NAV to likewise decrease, and vice versa.
 
  •  Leverage Risk – Leverage risk is the risk associated with certain types of leveraged investments or trading strategies pursuant to which relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of an investment. The Fund creates leverage by using borrowed capital to increase the amount invested, or investing in instruments, including derivatives, where the investment loss can exceed the original amount invested. Certain investments or trading strategies that involve leverage can result in losses that greatly exceed the amount originally invested.
 
  •  Liquidity Risk – Liquidity risk is the risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time that the seller would like or at the price that the seller believes the security is currently worth.
 
Equity-Linked Structured Notes
The Fund may invest in equity-linked structured notes. Equity-linked structured notes are derivative securities which are specially designed to combine the characteristics of one or more underlying securities and their equity derivatives in a single note form. The return and/or yield or income component may be based on the performance of the underlying equity securities, an equity index, and/or option positions. Equity-linked structured notes are typically offered in limited transactions by financial institutions in either registered or non-registered form. An investment in equity-linked structured notes creates exposure to the credit risk of the issuing financial institution, as well as to the equity risk of the underlying securities. There is no guaranteed return of principal with these securities and the appreciation potential of these securities may be limited by a maximum payment or call right. In certain cases, equity-linked structured notes may be more volatile and less liquid than less complex securities or other types of fixed-income securities. Such securities may exhibit price behavior that does not correlate with other fixed-income securities.
 
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
A forward foreign currency exchange contract (“forward currency contract”) is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts for hedging purposes, including, but not limited to, reducing exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on foreign portfolio holdings and locking in the U.S. dollar cost of firm purchase and sale commitments for securities denominated in or exposed to foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest in forward currency contracts for nonhedging purposes such as seeking to enhance returns. The Fund is subject to currency risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives through its investments in forward currency contracts.
 
The gain or loss arising from the difference between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing a contract is included in “Net realized gain/(loss) from investment and foreign currency transactions” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
Forward currency contracts held by the Fund are fully collateralized by other securities, which are denoted on the accompanying Schedule of Investments (if applicable). The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its market value equals or exceeds the current market value of the corresponding forward currency contracts. Such collateral is in the possession of the Fund’s custodian.
 
Futures Contracts
A futures contract is an exchange-traded agreement to take or make delivery of an underlying asset at a specific time in the future for a specific predetermined negotiated price. The Fund may enter into futures contracts to gain exposure to the stock market pending investment of cash balances or to meet liquidity needs. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk, equity risk, and currency risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives through its investments in futures contracts. The Fund may also use such derivative instruments to hedge or protect from adverse movements in securities prices, currency rates or interest rates. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the values of the contracts and the underlying securities, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations.
 
Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, and the daily variation margin is recorded as a receivable or payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities (if applicable). When a contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded as “Net realized gain/(loss) from futures contracts” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable), equal to the difference between the opening and closing

28 | September 30, 2010


 

 

value of the contract. Generally, futures contracts are marked-to-market (i.e., treated as realized and subject to distribution) for federal income tax purposes at fiscal year-end. Securities held by the Fund that are designated as collateral for market value on futures contracts are noted on the Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Such collateral is in the possession of the Fund’s custodian or with the counterparty broker.
 
With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
 
Options Contracts
An options contract provides the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a financial instrument at an agreed upon price. The Fund may purchase or write covered and uncovered put and call options on futures contracts and on portfolio securities for hedging purposes or as a substitute for an investment. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk, liquidity risk, equity risk, and currency risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives through its investments in options contracts. The Fund may use options contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates, the values of equities, or foreign currencies. The Fund may utilize American-style and European-style options. An American-style option is an option contract that can be exercised at any time between the time of purchase and the option’s expiration date. A European-style option is an option contract that can only be exercised on the option’s expiration date. The Fund may also purchase or write put and call options on foreign currencies in a manner similar to that in which futures or forward contracts on foreign currencies will be utilized. The Fund may also invest in long-term equity anticipation securities, which are long-term option contracts that can be maintained for a period of up to three years. The Fund generally invests in options to hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings.
 
When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and become obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. In writing an option, the Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund buying or selling a security at a price different from the current market value.
 
When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
 
The Fund may also purchase and write exchange-listed and OTC put and call options on domestic securities indices, and on foreign securities indices listed on domestic and foreign securities exchanges. Options on securities indices are similar to options on securities except that (1) the expiration cycles of securities index options are monthly, while those of securities options are currently quarterly, and (2) the delivery requirements are different. Instead of giving the right to take or make delivery of securities at a specified price, an option on a securities index gives the holder the right to receive a cash “exercise settlement amount” equal to (a) the amount, if any, by which the fixed exercise price of the option exceeds (in the case of a put) or is less than (in the case of a call) the closing value of the underlying index on the date of exercise, multiplied by (b) a fixed “index multiplier.” Receipt of this cash amount will depend upon the closing level of the securities index upon which the option is based being greater than, in the case of a call, or less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the index and the exercise price of the option times a specified multiple. The writer of the option is obligated, in return for the premium received, to make delivery of this amount.
 
Options traded on an exchange are regulated and the terms of the options are standardized. Options traded OTC expose the Fund to counterparty risk in the event that the counterparty does not perform. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
 
Holdings of the Fund designated to cover outstanding written options are noted on the Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Options written are reported as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Options written at value” (if applicable).
 
Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gain/(loss) from options contracts” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
The risk in writing call options is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the options are exercised. The risk in writing put options is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the options are exercised. The risk in buying options is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the options are exercised. The use of such instruments may involve certain additional risks as a result of unanticipated movements in the market. A lack of correlation between the value of an instrument underlying an option and the asset being

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

hedged, or unexpected adverse price movements, could render the Fund’s hedging strategy unsuccessful. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased or sold. There is no limit to the loss the Fund may recognize due to written call options.
 
Other Options
In addition to the option strategies described above, the Fund may purchase and sell a variety of options with non-standard payout structures or other features (“exotic options”). Exotic options are traded OTC and typically have price movements that can vary markedly from simple put or call options. The risks associated with exotic options are that they cannot be as easily priced and may be subject to liquidity risk. While some exotic options have fairly active markets, others are mostly thinly traded instruments. Some options are pure two-party transactions and may have no liquidity. The Fund may treat such instruments as illiquid and will limit its investments in such instruments to no more than 15% of the Fund’s net assets, when combined with all other illiquid investments of the Fund. The Fund may use exotic options to the extent that they are consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and investment policies, and applicable regulations.
 
The Fund may purchase and sell exotic options that have values which are determined by the correlation of two or more underlying assets. These types of options include, but are not limited to, outperformance options, yield curve options or other spread options.
 
Swaps
A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. The Fund may utilize swap agreements as a means to gain exposure to certain common stocks and/or to “hedge” or protect its portfolio from adverse movements in securities prices or interest rates. The Fund is subject to equity risk and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives through investments in swap contracts. Swap agreements entail the risk that a party will default on its payment obligation to the Fund. If the other party to a swap defaults, the Fund would risk the loss of the net amount of the payments that it contractually is entitled to receive. If the Fund utilizes a swap at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, the swap may result in a loss to the Fund and reduce the Fund’s total return. Swap contracts of the Fund is reported as an asset or liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities (if applicable). Realized gains and losses of the Fund is reported in “Net realized gain/(loss) from swap contracts” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
Various types of swaps such as credit default (funded and unfunded), dividend, equity, interest rate, and total return swaps are described below.
 
Credit default swaps are a specific kind of counterparty agreement that allows the transfer of third-party credit risk from one party to the other. The Fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives through its investments in credit default swap contracts. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and sovereign issuers, or to create exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which it is not otherwise exposed. With a credit default swap, one party in the swap is a lender and faces credit risk from a third party, and the counterparty in the credit default swap agrees to insure this risk in exchange for regular periodic payments. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as protection sellers or as protection buyers (undiscounted), is the notional value of the agreement. The risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
 
Funded (notional value of contract paid up front) or unfunded (notional value only paid in case of default) credit default swaps are based on an index of credit default swaps (“CDXs”) or other similarly structured products. CDXs are designed to track segments of the credit default swap market and provide investors with exposure to specific reference baskets of issuers of bonds or loans. These instruments have the potential to allow an investor to obtain the same investment exposure as an investor who invests in an individual credit default swap, but with the potential added benefit of diversification. The CDX reference baskets are normally priced daily and rebalanced every six months in conjunction with leading market makers in the credit industry. The liquidity of the market for CDXs is normally subject to liquidity in the secured loan and credit derivatives markets. A fund investing in CDXs is normally only permitted to take long positions in these instruments.
 
Dividend swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive the changes in a dividend index point. The Fund gains exposure by either paying or receiving an amount in respect of an increase or decrease in the change of the relevant dividend index point based on a notional amount. For example, if the Fund took a long position on a dividend index swap, the Fund would receive payments if

the relevant index point increased in value and would be obligated to pay if that index point decreased in value.
 
Equity swaps involve the exchange by two parties of future cash flow (e.g., one cash flow based on a referenced interest rate and the other based on the performance of stock or a stock index).
 
Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by two parties of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments).
 
Total return swaps involve an exchange by two parties in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both the income it generates and any capital gains over the payment period.
 
The Fund’s maximum risk of loss for equity swaps, interest rate swaps and total return swaps from counterparty risk or credit risk is the discounted value of the payments to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. The risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
 
In accordance with FASB guidance, the Fund adopted the provisions for “Derivatives and Hedging,” which require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.

3.  Other investments and strategies
 
Additional Investment Risk
Unforeseen events in the equity and fixed-income markets may at times result in an unusually high degree of volatility in the markets, both domestic and international. These events and the resulting market upheavals may have an adverse effect on the Fund, such as a decline in the value and liquidity of many securities held by the Fund, unusually high and unanticipated levels of redemptions, an increase in portfolio turnover, a decrease in NAV, and an increase in Fund expenses. Such unforeseen events may make it unusually difficult to identify both investment risks and opportunities and could limit or preclude the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The market’s behavior may at times be unpredictable. Therefore, it is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, and you could lose money.
 
Counterparties
Fund transactions involving a counterparty are subject to the risk that the counterparty or a third party will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund (“counterparty risk”). Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition (i.e., financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency), market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether foreseen or not. A counterparty’s inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant financial loss to the Fund. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited recovery, and/or recovery may be delayed. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to counterparty risk in respect to financial assets approximates its carrying value as recorded on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
The Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk through participation in various programs including, but not limited to, lending its securities to third parties, cash sweep arrangements whereby the Fund’s cash balances are invested in one or more types of cash management vehicles, as well as investments in, but not limited to, repurchase agreements, debt securities, and derivatives, including various types of swaps, futures and options. The Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that Janus Capital believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. There is always the risk that Janus Capital’s analysis of a counterparty’s creditworthiness is incorrect or may change due to market conditions. To the extent that the Fund focuses its transactions with a limited number of counterparties, it will have greater exposure to the risks associated with one or more counterparties.
 
Exchange-Traded Funds
The Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds, which generally are index-based investment companies that hold substantially all of their assets in securities representing their specific index. As a shareholder of another investment company, the Fund would bear its pro rata portion of the other investment company’s expenses, including advisory fees, in addition to the expenses the Fund bears directly in connection with its own operations.
 
Exchange-Traded Notes
The Fund may invest directly in exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), which are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities whose returns are linked to a particular index and provide exposure to the total returns of various market indices, including indices linked to stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies. This type of debt security differs from other types of bonds and notes. ETN returns are based upon the performance of a market index minus applicable fees; no periodic coupon payments are distributed and no principal protections exist. ETNs do not

32 | September 30, 2010


 

 

pay cash distributions. Instead, the value of dividends, interest, and investment gains are captured in the Fund’s total return. The Fund will invest in these securities when desiring exposure to debt securities or commodities. When evaluating ETNs for investment, Janus Capital or the subadviser, as applicable, will consider the potential risks involved, expected tax efficiency, rate of return, and credit risk. When the Fund invests in ETNs, it will bear a proportionate share of any fees and expenses borne by the ETN. There may be restrictions on the Fund’s right to redeem its investment in an ETN, which is meant to be held until maturity. The Fund’s decision to sell its ETN holdings may be limited by the availability of a secondary market.
 
Initial Public Offerings
The Fund may invest in initial public offerings (“IPOs”). IPOs and other investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on a Fund with a small asset base. The Fund may not experience similar performance as its assets grow.
 
Interfund Lending
As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or the 1940 Act and rules promulgated thereunder, the Fund may be party to interfund lending agreements between the Fund and other Janus Capital sponsored mutual funds and certain pooled investment vehicles, which permit them to borrow or lend cash at a rate beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Outstanding borrowings from all sources totaling 10% or more of the borrowing Fund’s total assets must be collateralized at 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan; loans of less than 10% may be unsecured.
 
Restricted Security Transactions
Restricted securities held by the Fund may not be sold except in exempt transactions or in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The risk of investing in such securities is generally greater than the risk of investing in the securities of widely held, publicly traded companies. Lack of a secondary market and resale restrictions may result in the inability of the Fund to sell a security at a fair price and may substantially delay the sale of the security. In addition, these securities may exhibit greater price volatility than securities for which secondary markets exist.
 
Securities Lending
The Fund may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions on a short-term or long-term basis. Under procedures adopted by the Trustees, the Fund may seek to earn additional income by lending securities to qualified parties (typically brokers or other financial institutions) who need to borrow securities in order to complete certain transactions such as covering short sales, avoiding failures to deliver securities or completing arbitrage activities. There is the risk of delay in recovering a loaned security or the risk of loss in collateral rights if the borrower fails financially. Janus Capital makes efforts to balance the benefits and risks from granting such loans.
 
The Fund does not have the right to vote on securities while they are being lent; however, the Fund may attempt to call back the loan and vote the proxy if time permits. All loans will be continuously secured by collateral which may consist of cash, U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt, convertible securities, foreign currency and bank letters of credit, or such other collateral permitted by the SEC. Cash collateral may be invested as permitted by the 1940 Act and rules promulgated thereunder. Janus Capital intends to manage the cash collateral in an affiliated cash management vehicle and will receive an investment advisory fee for managing such assets.
 
The value of the collateral must be at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities that are denominated in U.S. dollars and 105% of the market value of the loaned securities that are not denominated in U.S. dollars. Loaned securities and related collateral are marked-to-market each business day based upon the market value of the loaned securities at the close of business, employing the most recent available pricing information. Collateral levels are then adjusted based upon this mark-to-market evaluation.
 
The borrower pays fees at the Fund’s direction to Deutsche Bank AG (the “Lending Agent”). The Lending Agent may retain a portion of the interest earned on the cash collateral invested. The cash collateral invested by the Lending Agent is disclosed on the Schedule of Investments (if applicable). The lending fees and the Fund’s portion of the interest income earned on cash collateral are included on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
The Fund did not have any securities on loan during the period.
 
Short Sales
The Fund may engage in “short sales against the box.” Short sales against the box involve either selling short a security that the Fund owns or selling short a security that the Fund has the right to obtain, for delivery at a specified date in the future. The Fund may enter into short sales against the box to hedge against anticipated declines in the market price of portfolio securities. The Fund does not deliver from its portfolios the securities sold short and do not immediately receive the proceeds of the short sale.

Janus Value Fund | 33


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The Fund borrows the securities sold short and receives proceeds from the short sale only when it delivers the securities to the lender. If the value of the securities sold short increases prior to the scheduled delivery date, the Fund loses the opportunity to participate in the gain.
 
The Fund may also engage in other short sales. The Fund may engage in short sales when the portfolio managers anticipate that a security’s market purchase price will be less than its borrowing price. To complete the transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to deliver it to the purchaser and buy that same security in the market to return it to the lender. No more than 10% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in short positions (through short sales of stocks, structured products, futures, swaps, and uncovered written calls). The Fund may engage in short sales “against the box” and options for hedging purposes that are not subject to this 10% limit. Although the potential for gain as a result of a short sale is limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short less the cost of borrowing the security, the potential for loss is theoretically unlimited because there is no limit to the cost of replacing the borrowed security. There is no assurance the Fund will be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price. A gain or a loss will be recognized upon termination of a short sale. Short sales held by the Fund are fully collateralized by restricted cash or other securities, which are denoted on the accompanying Schedule of Investments (if applicable). The Fund is also required to pay the lender of the security any dividends or interest that accrues on a borrowed security during the period of the loan. Depending on the arrangements made with the broker or custodian, the Fund may or may not receive any payments (including interest) on collateral it has deposited with the broker. The Fund pays stock loan fees on assets borrowed from the security broker.
 
The Fund may also enter into short positions through derivative instruments, such as options contracts, futures contracts, and swap agreements, which may expose the Fund to similar risks. To the extent that the Fund enters into short derivative positions, the Fund may be exposed to risks similar to those associated with short sales, including the risk that the Fund’s losses are theoretically unlimited.
 
4.  Investment Advisory Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
The Fund pays Janus Capital an investment advisory fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly. The following table reflects the Fund’s contractual investment advisory “base” fee rate prior to any performance adjustment (expressed as an annual rate).

  Formerly named Janus Global Opportunities Fund.
 
At the “Special Meeting” of the shareholders of Perkins Global Value Fund held on June 29, 2010, shareholders of the Fund approved an amended and restated investment advisory agreement between Janus Investment Fund, on behalf of the Fund, and Janus Capital, changing the Fund’s investment advisory fee structure from an annual fixed rate of 0.64% of average daily net assets to an annual rate of 0.64% that adjusts up or down based upon the performance of the Fund’s Class A Shares (waiving the upfront sales load) relative to the Fund’s benchmark index, the MSCI World IndexSM.
 
Only the base fee rate will apply until July 2011 for Perkins Global Value Fund, at which time the calculation of the performance adjustment applies as follows:
 
Investment Advisory Fee = Base Fee Rate +/- Performance Adjustment
 
The investment advisory fee rate paid to Janus Capital by the Fund consists of two components: (1) a base fee calculated by applying the contractual fixed rate of the advisory fee to the Fund’s average daily net assets during the previous month (“Base Fee Rate”), 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 no Performance Adjustment is made until the performance-based fee structure has been in effect for at least 12 months and, accordingly, only the Fund’s Base Fee Rate applies for the initial 12 months. When the performance-based fee structure 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 performance-based fee structure took effect. As noted above, any applicable Performance Adjustment will begin July 2011 for the Fund.
 
No Performance Adjustment is applied unless the difference between the Fund’s investment performance and the cumulative investment record of the Fund’s benchmark index is 0.50% or greater (positive or negative) during the applicable performance measurement period. The Base Fee Rate is subject to an upward or downward performance adjustment for every full 0.50% increment by which the Fund outperforms or underperforms its benchmark index. Because the

34 | September 30, 2010


 

 

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 Rate and the Performance Adjustment, net assets are averaged over different periods (average daily net assets during the previous month for the Base Fee Rate, versus average daily net assets during the performance measurement period for the Performance Adjustment). Performance of a Fund is calculated net of expenses, whereas a Fund’s benchmark index does not have any fees or expenses. Reinvestment of dividends and distributions is included in calculating both the performance of the Fund and the Fund’s benchmark index. The Base Fee Rate is calculated and accrued daily. The Performance Adjustment is calculated monthly in arrears and is accrued throughout the month. The investment fee is paid monthly in arrears. 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 Rate. In such circumstances, Janus Capital would reimburse the applicable Fund.
 
The application of an expense limit, if any, will have a positive effect upon a Fund’s performance and may result in an increase in the Performance Adjustment. It is possible that the cumulative dollar amount of additional compensation ultimately payable to Janus Capital may, under some circumstances, exceed the cumulative dollar amount of management fees waived by Janus Capital.
 
The investment performance of the Fund’s Class A Shares (waiving the upfront sales load) for the performance measurement period is used to calculate the 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 load-waived Class A Shares against the cumulative investment record of the Fund’s benchmark index, Janus Capital applies the same Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) across each other class of shares of the Fund, as applicable.
 
It is not possible to predict the effect of the Performance Adjustment on future overall compensation to Janus Capital since it depends 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.
 
The Fund’s prospectuses and statement of additional information contain additional information about performance-based fees. The amount shown as advisory fees on the Statements of Operations reflects the Base Fee Rate plus/minus any Performance Adjustment, if applicable.
 
In addition to the change to the investment advisory fee structure previously noted, shareholders of Perkins Global Value Fund also approved an amended and restated investment advisory agreement effective on July 1, 2010 between the Fund and Janus Capital, allowing Janus Capital to engage a subadviser for the Fund, and a new subadvisory agreement between Janus Capital, the investment adviser to the Fund, and Perkins Investment Management LLC (“Perkins”), that appoints Perkins as subadviser to the Fund. Janus Capital pays Perkins a subadvisory fee rate equal to 50% of the investment advisory fee paid by the Fund to Janus Capital (calculated after any applicable performance fee adjustment, fee waivers, and expense reimbursements). The subadvisory fee paid by Janus Capital to Perkins adjusts up or down based on the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark index over the performance measurement period.
 
Perkins or its predecessors have been in the investment management business since 1984 and serves as investment adviser or subadviser to other Janus registered investment companies and other accounts. The same level of services is expected to be provided under the subadvisory arrangement as is currently provided. Janus Capital owns approximately 78% of Perkins.
 
Janus Services LLC (“Janus Services”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, is the Fund’s transfer agent. In addition, Janus Services provides or arranges for the provision of certain other administrative services including, but not limited to, recordkeeping, accounting, order processing, and other shareholder services for the Fund.
 
Prior to February 16, 2010, the Fund paid Janus Services an asset-weighted average annual fee based on the proportion of its total net assets sold directly and the proportion of its net assets sold through intermediaries for Class J Shares, the initial share class. The applicable fee rates were 0.12% of net assets on the proportion of assets sold directly and 0.25% on the proportion of assets sold through intermediaries for Class J Shares, the initial share class.
 
Class D Shares of the Fund pays an annual administrative fee of 0.12% of net assets. These administrative services fees are paid by the Shares of the Fund for shareholder services provided by Janus Services.
 
Janus Services receives an administrative services fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class S Shares of the Fund for providing or arranging for the provision of, administrative services

Janus Value Fund | 35


 

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

including, but not limited to, recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networked accounts, or other shareholder services provided on behalf of investors in Class S Shares of the Fund. Janus Services expects to use a significant portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan service providers, and other financial intermediaries for providing these services.
 
Janus Services receives an administrative services fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class T Shares of the Fund for providing or procuring administrative services to investors in Class T Shares of the Fund. These administrative services fees are paid by Class T Shares of the Fund to Janus Services, which uses some or all of such fees to compensate intermediaries for providing these services to their customers who invest in the Fund. Services provided by these financial intermediaries may include, but are not limited to, recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networked accounts, or other shareholder services provided by intermediaries on behalf of the shareholders of the Fund. Order processing includes the submission of transactions through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) or similar systems, or those processed on a manual basis with Janus. Janus Services or its affiliates may also pay fees for services provided by intermediaries to the extent the fees charged by intermediaries exceed the 0.25% of net assets charged to the Fund.
 
Certain, but not all, intermediaries may charge fees for administrative services, including recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networked accounts, or other shareholder services provided by intermediaries on behalf of the shareholders of the Fund. These administrative fees are paid by the Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares of the Fund to Janus Services, which uses such fees to reimburse intermediaries.
 
Janus Distributors LLC (“Janus Distributors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, is the distributor of the Fund. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan authorizes payments by the Fund at an annual rate, as determined from time to time by the Board of Trustees, of up to 0.25% of the Class A Shares average daily net assets, of up to 1.00% of the Class C Shares average daily net assets, and of up to 0.25% of the Class S Shares average daily net assets. Payments under the Plan are not tied exclusively to actual distribution and shareholder service expenses, and the payments may exceed distribution and shareholder service expenses actually incurred by the Fund. If any of the Fund’s actual distribution and shareholder service expenses incurred during a calendar year are less than the payments made during a calendar year, the Fund will be refunded for the difference. Refunds, if any, are included in the “Distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees” in the Statements of Operations.
 
The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Plan”) for independent Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. All deferred fees are credited to an account established in the name of the Trustees. The amounts credited to the account then increase or decrease, as the case may be, in accordance with the performance of one or more of the Janus funds that are selected by the Trustees. The account balance continues to fluctuate in accordance with the performance of the selected fund or funds until final payment of all amounts are credited to the account. The fluctuation of the account balance is recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and is shown as of September 30, 2010 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset, “Non-interested Trustees’ deferred compensation,” and a liability, “Non-interested Trustees’ deferred compensation fees.” Additionally, the recorded unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is included in “Unrealized net appreciation/(depreciation) of investments, foreign currency translations and non-interested Trustees’ deferred compensation” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferred compensation expenses for the eleven-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended October 31, 2009 are included in “Non-interested Trustees’ fees and expenses” on the Statements of Operations. Trustees are allowed to change their designation of mutual funds from time to time. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the Deferred Plan. No deferred fees were distributed to any Trustee under the Deferred Plan during the eleven-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended October 31, 2009.
 
For the eleven-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2010 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, Janus Capital assumed $54,830 and $8,636, respectively, of legal, consulting and Trustee costs and fees incurred by the funds in the Trust and Janus Aspen Series together with the Trust (the “Portfolios”), in connection with the regulatory and civil litigation matters discussed in Note 9. These non-recurring costs were allocated to all Portfolios based on the Portfolios’ respective net assets as of July 31, 2004. Unless noted otherwise in the financial highlights, the effect of these non-recurring costs assumed by Janus Capital are included in the ratio of gross expenses to average net assets and were less than 0.01%. No fees were allocated to the Portfolios that

commenced operations after July 31, 2004. Additionally, all future non-recurring costs will be allocated to the Portfolios based on the Portfolios’ respective net assets on July 31, 2004. These “Non-recurring costs” and “Costs assumed by Janus Capital” are shown on the Statements of Operations.
 
Certain officers of the Fund may also be officers and/or directors of Janus Capital. Such officers receive no compensation from the Fund, except for the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer. The Fund reimburses Janus Capital for a portion of the compensation paid to the Chief Compliance Officer and certain compliance staff of the Trust. Total compensation of $401,114 and $357,283 was paid by the Trust during the eleven-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2010 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, respectively. The Fund’s portion is reported as part of “Other Expenses” on the Statements of Operations.
 
Class A Shares include a 5.75% upfront sales charge of the offering price of the Fund. The sales charge is allocated between Janus Distributors and financial intermediaries. During the eleven-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2010, Janus Distributors retained the following upfront sales charge:

  Formerly named Janus Global Opportunities Fund.
 
A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% will be deducted with respect to Class A Shares purchased without a sales load and redeemed within 12 months of purchase, unless waived, as discussed in the Prospectus. Any applicable CDSC will be 1.00% of the lesser of the original purchase price or the value of the redemption of the Class A Shares redeemed. There were no contingent deferred sales charges paid by redeeming shareholders of Class A Shares during the eleven-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2010.
 
Class C Shares include a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge paid by redeeming shareholders to Janus Distributors. The contingent deferred sales charge applies to shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The redemption price may differ from the net asset value per share. There were no contingent deferred sales charges paid by redeeming shareholders of Class C Shares during the eleven-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2010.
 
A 2.00% redemption fee may be imposed on Class D Shares, Class I Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares of the Fund held for 90 days or less. This fee is paid to the Fund rather than Janus Capital, and is designed to deter excessive short-term trading and to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with changes in the Fund’s asset levels and cash flow due to short-term money movements in and out of the Fund. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to Paid-in Capital.
 
Total redemption fees received by the Fund for the eleven-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2010 are indicated in the table below:

The Fund’s expenses may be reduced by expense offsets from an unaffiliated custodian and/or transfer agent. Such credits or offsets are included in “Expense and Fee Offset” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable). The transfer agent fee offsets received during the period reduce “Transfer agent fees and expenses” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable). Custodian offsets received reduce “Custodian fees” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable). The Fund could have employed the assets used by the custodian and/or transfer agent to produce income if it had not entered into an expense offset arrangement.
 
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of an SEC exemptive order and the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Fund may participate in an affiliated or non-affiliated cash sweep program. In the cash sweep program, uninvested cash balances of the Fund may be used to purchase shares of affiliated or non-affiliated money market funds or cash management pooled investment vehicles. The Fund is eligible to participate in the cash sweep program (the “Investing Fund”). Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC is an affiliated unregistered cash management pooled investment vehicle that invests primarily in highly-rated short-term fixed-income securities. Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC maintains a NAV of $1.00 per share and distributes income daily in a manner consistent with a registered 2a-7 product. There are no restrictions on the Fund’s ability to withdraw investments from Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC at will, and there are no unfunded capital commitments due from the Fund to Janus Cash Liquidity Fund LLC. As adviser, Janus Capital has an inherent conflict of interest because of its fiduciary duties to the affiliated cash management pooled investment vehicles and the Investing Fund.
 
During the eleven-month fiscal period ended September 30, 2010 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, respectively, the Fund recorded distributions from affiliated investment companies as affiliated dividend income, and had the following affiliated purchases and sales:

5.  Federal Income Tax
 
The tax components of capital shown in the table below represent: (1) distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations; (2) losses or deductions the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years; and (3) unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments for federal income tax purposes.
 
Other book to tax differences may consist of deferred compensation, derivatives and foreign currency contract adjustments. The Fund has elected to treat gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts as capital gains and losses. Other foreign currency gains and losses on debt instruments are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are due to differing treatments for items such as net short-term gains, deferral of wash sale losses, foreign currency transactions, net investment losses and capital loss carryovers. Certain permanent differences such as tax returns of capital and net investment losses noted below have been reclassified to paid-in capital.

8.  Shares Issued in Connection with Restructuring
 
Effective February 16, 2010, Class J Shares were renamed Class T Shares and are available through certain financial intermediary platforms. In addition, Class J Shares held directly with Janus were moved to newly created Class D Shares, a share class dedicated to shareholders investing directly with Janus. Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010. The shares issued in connection with the restructuring from Class J Shares to Class D Shares are reflected on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the Capital Share Transactions table in Note 6.
 
9.  Pending 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 in several state and federal jurisdictions 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. 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, two of which still remain: (i) claims by a putative class of shareholders of Janus Capital Group Inc. (“JCGI”) asserting claims on behalf of the shareholders against JCGI and Janus Capital (First Derivative Traders et al. v. Janus Capital Group Inc. et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland, MDL 1586, formerly referred to as Wiggins, et al. v. Janus Capital Group, Inc., et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland, Case No. 04-CV-00818); and (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).
 
In the First Derivative Traders case (action (i) above), a Motion to Dismiss was previously granted and the matter was dismissed in May 2007. Plaintiffs appealed that dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (“Fourth Circuit”). In May 2009, the Fourth Circuit reversed the order of dismissal and remanded the case back to the trial court for further proceedings. In June 2010, the United States Supreme Court agreed to review the Fourth Circuit’s decision. As a result of these developments at the Supreme Court, the trial court has stayed all further proceedings until the Supreme Court rules on the matter. In the Steinberg case (action (ii) above), the trial court entered an order on January 20, 2010, granting Janus Capital’s Motion for Summary Judgment and dismissing the remaining claims asserted against the company. However, in February 2010, Plaintiffs appealed the trial court’s decision with the Fourth Circuit.
 
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.
 
10.  New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, “Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements.” This Accounting Standards Update will enhance and clarify existing fair value measurement disclosures. The required disclosures are effective for

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 
 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this Accounting Standards Update will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
 
11.  Subsequent Event
 
Management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to September 30, 2010 and through the date of issuance of the Fund’s financial statements and determined that there were no material events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 
 
 
To the Trustees and Shareholders
of Janus Investment Fund:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Perkins Global Value Fund (formerly named Janus Global Opportunities Fund, one of the funds constituting Janus Investment Fund, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at September 30, 2010 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Advisory Agreement During The Period
 
Performance-Based Advisory Fee Proposal and Subadvisory Agreement – Perkins Global Value Fund (formerly named Janus Global Opportunities Fund)
 
At a meeting of the Trustees held on December 11, 2009, the Trustees, each of whom is an Independent Trustee, meaning he or she is not an “interested person” (as defined by the 1940 Act) of the Trust or Janus Capital and its affiliates, voted unanimously to approve an amended and restated investment advisory agreement between Janus Capital and the Fund (the “Amended Advisory Agreement”), a proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement to permit Janus Capital to engage a subadviser, Perkins Investment Management LLC (“Perkins”) for the Fund (the “Subadvisory Agreement”), and authorized the submission of the Amended Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement to the Fund’s shareholders for approval. Shareholders of the Fund approved the Amended Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement at special meetings of Shareholders held on June 29, 2010. As discussed below, the Amended Advisory Agreement, as approved, permits Janus Capital to engage a subadviser for the Fund and includes an advisory fee payable to Janus Capital that will adjust up or down based on the Fund’s total return performance as compared to the performance of the Fund’s benchmark index. The Subadvisory Agreement appoints Perkins as the subadviser for the Fund. The Amended Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement each became effective on July 1, 2010.
 
Consideration of the Performance Fee Structure
 
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 performance fee structure, which would include a “Base Fee Rate” for each of those funds at the same rate as the current advisory fee rate, and a Performance Adjustment applied to that rate that would increase or decrease the fee based on whether the fund’s total return performance exceeds or lags a stated relevant benchmark index.
 
Working with Janus Capital to develop a performance fee 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. The Trustees believe that the fee structure included in the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement 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 maximum and minimum that would result in the 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 a Fund’s benchmark index, taking into consideration expected tracking error of the Fund, expected returns and potential risks and economics involved for Janus Capital and the Fund’s shareholders. The Trustees also reviewed the structure of performance fees applied by other Janus funds. The Trustees also considered the fact that for purposes of computing the Performance Adjustment, the Fund’s 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 Rate, Janus Capital 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

44 | September 30, 2010


 

 

 
 
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 manager in making investment decisions within the parameters of the Fund’s investment objective and investment policies and restrictions.
 
The Trustees also judged the time periods to be used in determining any Performance Adjustment 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 its benchmark index. In that regard, the Trustees concluded that it would be appropriate for there to be no adjustment to the Base Fee Rate for at least the first 12 months, after the effective date of the performance-based fee structure outlined in the Amended Advisory 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 thirty-six month rolling performance measurement period.
 
In considering the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement, and the performance fee structure reflected in the Amended Advisory Agreement and as a result, the Subadvisory Agreement, 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.
 
In considering whether to approve the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board of Trustees noted that, except for the performance-based fee structure, the Amended Advisory Agreement was substantially similar to the current Investment Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement was substantially similar to other agreements in place with Perkins for other Janus funds for which it serves as subadviser, each of which were most recently approved by them at a meeting held on December 11, 2009, and the Board took note of their findings with respect to that approval. The Board took into account the services provided by Janus Capital and Perkins in their capacity as investment adviser to the Fund and subadviser to other Janus funds, respectively, and concluded that the services provided were acceptable.
 
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 the 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 Fund. The Trustees also concluded that the services to be provided by Perkins to the Fund are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement and that the Fund would likely benefit from services provided under that agreement. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the resources and key personnel of Janus Capital and Perkins, especially those who provide investment management services to the Fund. The Trustees also considered other services provided to the Fund by Janus Capital and Perkins. 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 Fund as a result of the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement.
 
The Trustees concluded that the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement for the Fund was not expected to adversely affect the nature, extent or quality of services provided to the Fund, and that the Fund would continue to benefit from services provided under the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement. They also concluded that the quality of Janus Capital’s services to the Fund and Perkins’ services to other Janus funds for which it serves as subadviser, has been very good. In reaching their conclusions, the Trustees considered: (i) information provided by Janus Capital and Perkins for their consideration of the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement, respectively; (ii) the key factors identified in materials provided to the Trustees by their independent counsel; and (iii) the reasonableness of the fees payable by shareholders of the Fund. They also concluded that Janus Capital’s and Perkins’ financial conditions were sound.
 
Costs of Services Provided
 
The Trustees considered the fee structure under the Amended Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement, as well as the overall fee structure of the Fund. The Trustees examined the fee information and expenses for the Fund in comparison to information for other comparable funds, as provided by Lipper.
 
The Trustees considered the structure by which Janus Capital and Perkins would be paid for their services, including the implementation of the new performance-based fee structure for the Fund. The Trustees also

considered the overall fees of the Fund for services provided to the Fund.
 
The Trustees concluded that the estimated overall expense ratio of the Fund was comparable to or more favorable than the median expense ratio of its peers, and that the fees that the Fund will pay to Janus Capital 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 for managing comparable mutual funds with similar strategies, and (2) the impact of the performance-based fee structure, as applicable.
 
Performance of the Fund
 
The Trustees considered the performance results of the Fund over various time periods. They reviewed information comparing the Fund’s performance with the performance of comparable funds and peer groups identified by Lipper, and with the Fund’s benchmark index. They concluded that the performance of the Fund was acceptable under current market conditions. Although the performance of the Fund may have lagged benchmark indices for certain periods, the Trustees also concluded that the manner in which Janus Capital addressed those instances of underperformance was appropriate.
 
Other Benefits from the Relationship with Janus Capital
 
The Trustees also considered benefits that would accrue to the Fund from its relationship with Janus Capital and Perkins. The Trustees concluded that, other than the services to be provided by Janus Capital and Perkins pursuant to the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement, respectively, and the fees to be paid by the Fund for such services, the Fund, Janus Capital and Perkins may potentially benefit from their relationship with each other in other ways. They also concluded that success of the relationship between the Fund, Janus Capital and Perkins could attract other business to Janus Capital, Perkins or to other Janus funds, and that the success of Janus Capital and/or Perkins could enhance each firm’s ability to serve the Fund. They also concluded that Janus Capital and Perkins may potentially benefit from the receipt of proprietary and third-party research products and services to be acquired through commissions paid on portfolio transactions of the Fund or other funds in the Janus complex, and that the Fund may potentially benefit from Janus Capital’s and Perkins’ receipt of those products and services, as well as research products and services acquired through commissions paid by other clients of Janus Capital and/or Perkins. The Trustees further concluded that Janus Capital’s use of “soft” commission dollars to obtain proprietary and third-party research products and services was consistent with regulatory requirements and guidelines and was likely to benefit the Fund.
 
After full consideration of the above factors, as well as other factors, the Trustees concluded that approving the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement for the Fund was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Financial Statements (unaudited)

 
 
 
1.  Performance Overviews
 
Performance overview graphs compare the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund (from inception) with one or more widely used market indices. The hypothetical example does not represent the returns of any particular investment.
 
When comparing the performance of the Fund with an index, keep in mind that market indices do not include brokerage commissions that would be incurred if you purchased the individual securities in the index. They also do not include taxes payable on dividends and interest or operating expenses incurred if you maintained the Fund invested in the index.
 
Average annual total returns are also quoted for the Fund. Average annual total return is calculated by taking the growth or decline in value of an investment over a period of time, including reinvestment of dividends and distributions, then calculating the annual compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same result had the rate of growth been constant throughout the period. Average annual total return does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.
 
Pursuant to federal securities rules, expense ratios shown in the performance chart reflect subsidized and unsubsidized ratios for the past fiscal year. The total annual fund operating expenses ratio is gross of any fee waivers, reflecting the Fund’s unsubsidized expense ratio. The net annual fund operating expenses ratio (if applicable) includes contractual waivers of Janus Capital and/or Janus Services and reflects the Fund’s subsidized expense ratio. Both the total annual fund operating expenses ratio and net annual fund operating expenses ratio are estimated for the fiscal year. The ratios also include expenses indirectly incurred by the Fund as a result of investing in other investment companies or pooled investments, which are not reflected in the “Financial Highlights” of this report. As a result, these ratios may be higher or lower than those shown in the “Financial Highlights” in this report. 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 custodian and transfer agent expenses.
 
2.  Schedule of Investments
 
Following the performance overview section is the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. This schedule reports the industry concentrations and types of securities held in the Fund on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are usually listed by type (common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. Government obligations, etc.) and by industry classification (banking, communications, insurance, etc.). Holdings are subject to change without notice.
 
The value of each security is quoted as of the last day of the reporting period. The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies is converted into U.S. dollars.
 
If the Fund invests in foreign securities, it will also provide a summary of investments by country. This summary reports the Fund’s exposure to different countries by providing the percentage of securities invested in each country. The country of each security represents the country in which the company is incorporated. The Fund’s Schedule of Investments relies upon the industry group and country classifications published by Bloomberg L.P.
 
2a. Forward Currency Contracts
 
A table listing forward currency contracts follows the Fund’s Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Forward currency contracts are agreements to deliver or receive a preset amount of currency at a future date. Forward currency contracts are used to hedge against foreign currency risk in the Fund’s long-term holdings.
 
The table provides the name of the foreign currency, the settlement date of the contract, the amount of the contract, the value of the currency in U.S. dollars and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the change in currency exchange rates from the time the contract was opened to the last day of the reporting period.
 
2b. Futures
 
A table listing futures contracts follows the Fund’s Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Futures contracts are contracts that obligate the buyer to receive and the seller to deliver an instrument or money at a specified price on a specified date. Futures are used to hedge against adverse movements in securities prices, currency risk or interest rates.
 
The table provides the name of the contract, number of contracts held, the expiration date, the principal amount, value and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the marked-to-market amount for the last day of the reporting period.
 
2c. Options
 
A table listing written options contracts follows the Fund’s Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Written options contracts are contracts that obligate the Fund to sell or purchase an underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. Options are used to hedge against adverse movements in securities prices, currency risk or interest rates.

Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 
 
The table provides the name of the contract, number of contracts held, the expiration date, exercise price, value and premiums received.
 
3.  Statement of Assets and Liabilities
 
This statement is often referred to as the “balance sheet.” It lists the assets and liabilities of the Fund on the last day of the reporting period.
 
The Fund’s assets are calculated by adding the value of the securities owned, the receivable for securities sold but not yet settled, the receivable for dividends declared but not yet received on stocks owned and the receivable for Fund shares sold to investors but not yet settled. The Fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased but not yet settled, Fund shares redeemed but not yet paid and expenses owed but not yet paid. Additionally, there may be other assets and liabilities such as unrealized gain or loss on forward currency contracts.
 
The section entitled “Net Assets Consist of” breaks down the components of the Fund’s net assets. Because the Fund must distribute substantially all earnings, you will notice that a significant portion of net assets is shareholder capital.
 
The last section of this statement reports the net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the Fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding.
 
4.  Statements of Operations
 
These statements detail the Fund’s income, expenses, gains and losses on securities and currency transactions, and appreciation or depreciation of current Fund holdings.
 
The first section in this statement, entitled “Investment Income,” reports the dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the Fund.
 
The next section reports the expenses incurred by the Fund, including the advisory fee paid to the investment adviser, transfer agent fees and expenses, and printing and postage for mailing statements, financial reports and prospectuses. Expense offsets and expense reimbursements, if any, are also shown.
 
The last section lists the increase or decrease in the value of securities held in the Fund. The Fund will realize a gain (or loss) when it sells its position in a particular security. An unrealized gain (or loss) refers to the change in net appreciation or depreciation of the Fund during the reporting period. “Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) on Investments” is affected both by changes in the market value of Fund holdings and by gains (or losses) realized during the reporting period.
 
5.  Statements of Changes in Net Assets
 
These statements report the increase or decrease in the Fund’s net assets during the reporting period. Changes in the Fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, dividends, distributions and capital share transactions. This is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the Fund’s net asset size to change during the period.
 
The first section summarizes the information from the Statements of Operations regarding changes in net assets due to the Fund’s investment performance. The Fund’s net assets may also change as a result of dividend and capital gains distributions to investors. If investors receive their dividends in cash, money is taken out of the Fund to pay the distribution. If investors reinvest their dividends, the Fund’s net assets will not be affected. If you compare the Fund’s “Net Decrease from Dividends and Distributions” to the “Reinvested dividends and distributions,” you will notice that dividend distributions had little effect on the Fund’s net assets. This is because the majority of Janus investors reinvest their distributions.
 
The reinvestment of dividends is included under “Capital Share Transactions.” “Capital Shares” refers to the money investors contribute to the Fund through purchases or withdrawals via redemptions. “Redemption Fees” (if applicable) refers to the fee paid to the Fund for shares held for 90 days of less by a shareholder. The Fund’s net assets will increase and decrease in value as investors purchase and redeem shares from the Fund.
 
6.  Financial Highlights
 
This schedule provides a per-share breakdown of the components that affect the Fund’s NAV for current and past reporting periods. Not only does this table provide you with total return, it also reports total distributions, asset size, expense ratios and portfolio turnover rate.
 
The first line in the table reflects the NAV per share at the beginning of the reporting period. The next line reports the net investment income per share, which comprises dividends and interest income earned on securities held by the Fund. Following is the total of gains/(losses), realized and unrealized. Dividends and distributions are then subtracted to arrive at the NAV per share at the end of the period. The next line reflects the average annual total return reported the last day of the period. The total return may include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, the

total return may differ from the total return reflected for shareholder transactions.
 
Also included are the expense ratios, or the percentage of average net assets that were used to cover operating expenses during the period. Expense ratios vary across Funds within the Trust for a number of reasons, including the differences in management fees, the frequency of dividend payments and the extent of foreign investments, which entail greater transaction costs.
 
The Fund’s expenses may be reduced through expense-reduction arrangements. These arrangements may include the use of balance credits or transfer agent fee offsets. The Statements of Operations reflect total expenses before any such offset, the amount of the offset and the net expenses. The expense ratios listed in the Financial Highlights reflect total expenses prior to any expense offset (gross expense ratio) and after the expense offsets (net expense ratio). Both expense ratios reflect expenses after waivers (reimbursements), if applicable.
 
The ratio of net investment income/(loss) summarizes the income earned less expenses, divided by the average net assets of the Fund during the reporting period. Don’t confuse this ratio with the Fund’s yield. The net investment income ratio is not a true measure of the Fund’s yield because it doesn’t take into account the dividends distributed to the Fund’s investors.
 
The next figure is the portfolio turnover rate, which measures the buying and selling activity in the Fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the asset size of the Fund, the nature of the Fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager. A 100% rate implies that an amount equal to the value of the entire portfolio is turned over in a year; a 50% rate means that an amount equal to the value of half the portfolio is traded in a year; and a 200% rate means that an amount equal to the value of the portfolio is traded every six months.

Janus provides access to a wide range of investment disciplines.
 
Alternative
Janus alternative funds seek to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle with lower correlation to equity markets than traditional investments.
 
Asset Allocation
Janus’ asset allocation funds utilize our fundamental, bottom-up research to balance risk over the long term. From fund options that meet investors’ risk tolerance and objectives to a method that incorporates non-traditional investment choices to seek non-correlated sources of risk and return, Janus’ asset allocation funds aim to allocate risk more effectively.
 
Core
Janus core funds seek investments in more stable and predictable companies. These funds look for a strategic combination of steady growth and for certain funds, some degree of income.
 
Fixed Income
Janus bond funds attempt to provide less risk relative to equities while seeking to deliver a competitive total return through high current income and appreciation. Janus money market funds seek capital preservation and liquidity with current income as a secondary objective.
 
Global & International
Janus global and international funds seek to leverage Janus’ research capabilities by taking advantage of inefficiencies in foreign markets, where accurate information and analytical insight are often at a premium.
 
Growth
Janus growth funds focus on companies believed to be the leaders in their respective industries, with solid management teams, expanding market share, margins and efficiencies.
 
Risk Managed
Our risk-managed funds seek to outperform their respective indices while maintaining a risk profile equal to or lower than the index itself. Managed by INTECH (a Janus subsidiary), these funds use a mathematical process in an attempt to build a more “efficient” portfolio than the index.
 
Value
Janus value funds invest in companies they believe are poised for a turnaround or are trading at a significant discount to fair value. The goal is to gain unique insight into a company’s true value and identify and evaluate potential catalysts that may unlock shareholder value.

Item 2 — Code of Ethics
As of the end of the period covered by this Form N-CSR, the Registrant has adopted a Code of Ethics (as defined in Item 2(b) of Form N-CSR), which is posted on the Registrant’s website: janus.com. Registrant intends to post any amendments to, or waivers from (as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR), such code on janus.com within five business days following the date of such amendment or waiver.
Item 3 — Audit Committee Financial Expert
Janus Investment Fund’s Board of Trustees has determined that the following members of Janus Investment Fund’s Audit Committee are “audit committee financial experts,” as defined in Item 3 to Form N-CSR: Jerome S. Contro (Chairman), John W. McCarter, Jr. and Dennis B. Mullen who are all “independent” under the standards set forth in Item 3 to Form N-CSR.
Item 4 — Principal Accountant Fees and Services
The following table shows the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“Auditor”), Janus Investment Fund’s (the “Fund”) auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund’s fiscal period ended September 30, 2010 and the last periods ended October 31, September 30, and July 31. For the reporting periods, the Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that Auditor provided to the Fund, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “pre-approval exception”). The pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Fund waives the pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to Auditor during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee’s attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed.
