[1] Other Expenses are based on the estimated expenses that the Shares expect to incur during their initial fiscal period.
[2] Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund's total annual fund operating expenses (excluding administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement, brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) to 0.75% until at least November 1, 2012. The contractual waiver may be terminated or modified prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. For a period of three years subsequent to the Fund's commencement of operations or until the Fund's assets exceed the first breakpoint in the investment advisory fee schedule, whichever occurs first, Janus Capital may recover from the Fund fees and expenses previously waived or reimbursed, which could then be considered a deferral, if the Fund's expense ratio, including recovered expenses, falls below the expense limit.
EXAMPLE:
The following Example is based on expenses without waivers. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated, reinvest all dividends and distributions, and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of each period. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses without waivers or recoupments (if applicable) remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover:
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 173% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in bonds. Bonds include, but are not limited to, corporate bonds, government bonds, convertible bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and zero-coupon bonds. The Fund invests in corporate debt securities of issuers in a number of different countries, which may include the United States. The Fund invests in securities of issuers located in developed and emerging market countries. The Fund may invest across all fixed-income sectors, including U.S. and non-U.S. government securities. The Fund’s investments may be denominated in local currency or U.S. dollar-denominated. The Fund may invest in debt securities with a range of maturities from short- to long-term. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its net assets in high-yield/high-risk debt securities. The Fund may also invest in preferred and common stock, money market instruments, municipal bonds, commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, other securitized and structured debt products, private placements, and other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Fund may also invest in floating rate loans, buy backs or dollar rolls, and reverse repurchase agreements. Due to the nature of securities in which the Fund invests, it may have relatively high portfolio turnover compared to other funds.

In addition, the Fund may invest its assets in derivatives, which are instruments that have a value derived from or directly linked to an underlying asset, such as equity securities, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices, as substitutes for securities in which the Fund invests. The Fund may use futures, options, and swaps (including interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and credit default swaps). The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments (by taking long and/or short positions) for other purposes, including hedging, to increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to a particular market, to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Fund related to an investment or currency exposure, to adjust its currency exposure relative to its benchmark index, and to earn income and enhance returns. The Fund’s exposure to derivatives will vary, is not limited to those derivatives listed, and could be significant at times. For more information on the Fund’s use of derivatives, refer to the Fund’s shareholder reports and Form N-Q reports, which are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition to considering economic factors such as the effect of interest rates on the Fund’s investments, the portfolio managers apply a “bottom up” approach in choosing investments. This means that the portfolio managers look at income-producing securities one at a time to determine if a security is an attractive investment opportunity and if it is consistent with the Fund’s investment policies.

The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, in an amount equal to up to 1/3 of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
Although the Fund may be less volatile than funds that invest most of their assets in common stocks, the Fund's returns and yields will vary, and you could lose money.

Fixed-Income Securities Risk. The Fund invests in a variety of fixed-income securities. Typically, the values of fixed-income securities change inversely with prevailing interest rates. Therefore, a fundamental risk of fixed-income securities is interest rate risk, which is the risk that their value will generally decline as prevailing interest rates rise, which may cause the Fund's net asset value to likewise decrease. How specific fixed-income securities may react to changes in interest rates will depend on the specific characteristics of each security. Fixed-income securities are also subject to credit risk, prepayment risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage-backed securities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than other types of securities. Investments in mortgage-backed securities are subject to both extension risk, where borrowers extend the duration of their mortgages in times of rising interest rates, and prepayment risk, where borrowers pay off their mortgages sooner than expected in times of declining interest rates. These risks may reduce the Fund's returns. In addition, investments in mortgage-backed securities, including those comprised of subprime mortgages, may be subject to a higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk than various other types of fixed-income securities.

Foreign Exposure Risk. The Fund normally has significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Fund has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Fund's performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio.

Emerging Markets Risk. The risks of foreign investing mentioned above are heightened when investing in emerging markets. Emerging markets securities involve a number of additional risks, which may result from less government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices (including the potential lack of strict finance and accounting controls and standards), stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies, making these investments potentially more volatile in price and less liquid than investments in developed securities markets, resulting in greater risk to investors. In addition, the Fund's investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, changes in the value of a country's currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Fund's investments. To the extent that the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of issuers in or companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region, which could have a negative impact on the Fund's performance. Some of the risks of investing directly in foreign and emerging market securities may be reduced when the Fund invests indirectly in foreign securities through various other investment vehicles including derivatives, which also involve specialized risks. As of June 30, 2011, approximately 0.8% of the Fund's investments were in emerging markets.

Sovereign Debt Risk. Investments in foreign government debt securities ("sovereign debt") can involve a high degree of risk, including the risk that the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or to pay the interest on its sovereign debt in a timely manner. A sovereign debtor's willingness or ability to satisfy its debt obligation may be affected by various factors including, but not limited to, its cash flow situation, the extent of its foreign currency reserves, the availability of foreign exchange when a payment is due, and the relative size of its debt position in relation to its economy as a whole. In the event of default, there may be limited or no legal remedies for collecting sovereign debt and there may be no bankruptcy proceedings through which the Fund may collect all or part of the sovereign debt that a governmental entity has not repaid.

High-Yield/High-Risk Bond Risk. High-yield/high-risk bonds (also known as "junk bonds") may be more sensitive than other types of bonds to economic changes, political changes, or adverse developments specific to the company that issued the bond, which may adversely affect their value.

Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. The Fund may purchase shares of exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") to gain exposure to a particular portion of the market. ETFs are pooled investment vehicles, which may be managed or unmanaged, that generally seek to track the performance of a specific index. ETFs are traded on an exchange at market prices that may vary from the net asset value of their underlying investments. When the Fund invests in an ETF, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the ETF's expenses. ETFs have certain inherent risks generally associated with investments in a portfolio of common stocks, including the risk that the general level of stock prices may decline, thereby adversely affecting the value of each unit of the ETF. ETFs also involve the risk that an active trading market for an ETF's shares may not develop or be maintained.

Floating Rate Loan Risk. There may be a number of intermediate participants in floating rate loan transactions and loan agreements have specific rights and obligations, and terms and conditions. Any number of factors in an investment in floating rate loans could cause the Fund to lose income or principal on a particular investment, which in turn could affect the Fund's returns, and you could lose money. For the Fund's secured or collateralized investments, lenders may have difficulty liquidating collateral, the collateral might decline in value or be insufficient, or the collateral might be set aside in a court proceeding such as a bankruptcy proceeding. There may be many claims by other lenders against the same collateral. The Fund could be held liable as a co-lender.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative's original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be complex instruments and may involve analysis that differs from that required for other investment types used by the Fund. If the value of a derivative does not correlate well with the particular market or other asset class to which the derivative is intended to provide exposure, the derivative may not produce the anticipated result. Derivatives can also reduce the opportunity for gain or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other investments. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations. If the counterparty to a derivative transaction defaults, the Fund would risk the loss of the net amount of the payments that it contractually is entitled to receive. To the extent 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.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher costs, which may have a negative effect on the Fund's performance. In addition, higher portfolio turnover may result in the acceleration of capital gains and the recognition of greater levels of short-term capital gains, which are taxed at ordinary federal income tax rates when distributed to shareholders.

Securities Lending Risk. The Fund may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Fund to collateralize the loan. If the Fund is unable to recover a security on loan, the Fund may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Fund.

An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The following information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund’s performance has varied over time. The performance shown for Class N Shares reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class I Shares, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class N Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class N Shares of the Fund had been available during the periods shown, the performance shown may have been different.

The bar chart depicts the Fund’s performance during the period indicated. The table compares the Fund’s average annual returns for the periods indicated to broad-based securities market indices. The indices are not actively managed and are not available for direct investment. All figures assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions. For certain periods, the Fund’s performance reflects the effect of expense waivers. Without the effect of these expense waivers, the performance shown would have been lower.

The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available at janus.com/advisor/mutual-funds or by calling 1-877-335-2687.

After-tax returns are calculated using distributions for the Fund’s Class I Shares for the periods prior to December 31, 2011. If Class N Shares of the Fund had been available during these earlier periods, distributions may have been different and thus, after-tax returns may have been different from those shown. After-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on your individual tax situation and may differ from those shown in the preceding table. The after-tax return information shown above does not apply to Fund shares held through a tax-deferred account, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA.
