FUND SNAPSHOT
We believe a flexible approach to global real estate investing that concentrates on businesses with prime assets in strategic locations, outsized growth potential and/or unrecognized embedded value will lead to substantial wealth creation over time. We use intensive fundamental research in an effort to uncover investments that have developed a targeted and/or vertically integrated real estate platform, practice disciplined capital allocation and show a clear ability to create value.

PERFORMANCE
 
On a relative basis, Janus Global Real Estate Fund outperformed during the 12-month period ending September 30, 2014. The Fund’s Class I Shares finished the period up 12.28%, beating its benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Index, which gained 6.01%.
 
INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
 
Having devoted a big chunk of our last two annual letters to a discussion of our deep concerns surrounding debt – more specifically, sovereign debt in the developed world – and the potential unintended consequences of unprecedented easy-money policies, we will spare you this year. We don’t, however, want to give you the impression that we have lost our resolve on the issue, even though it’s admittedly getting much harder (and lonelier!) to wave the caution flag as markets dance away to the free-money orchestra, which seems to get a fresh dose of musicians every time the music slows even slightly. Maybe we’ve simply become too curmudgeonly, or it will actually “be different this time.” But having spent our career in a capital-intensive sector that relies heavily on debt, we’ve seen how quickly leverage can move from helpful to intoxicating to massively destructive. As we said last year, at some point economies and markets need to be left to stand on their own two feet; and as far as we’re concerned, the sooner the better.
 
Putting the debt debate aside, let’s move on to what we care about most: real estate. We’ve discussed at length in past letters what we view as the multiple wealth creation/preservation attributes of the sector, so we thought we’d spend some time here highlighting how the real estate investment world is evolving. And on that front, we believe there is a dominant trend: like just about every other sector/industry we know of, real estate is becoming more efficient. Information is increasingly ubiquitous and much more widely disseminated; capital is more available and moves more freely; transparency is up, both as it relates to granular market trends – leasing, occupancy, cap rates, new supply, etc. – and best practices at the property management level; and in a sector that at the end of the day is still very much a “local” business, outsiders can now more easily crash the party, as the playing field is indeed rapidly becoming increasingly global. Yes, even in a stodgy, old industry like real estate, technology is having a massive impact.
 
Now, more efficient real estate markets are undoubtedly a societal plus – better allocation of capital, less volatility and a more capable “landlord to the global economy” – but from an investment standpoint, this clear progress is not necessarily a good thing. We’ve long described real estate markets as “blissfully inefficient,” and that inefficiency is a big part of what drew us to the industry (maybe we were just young and confused, but we at least understood that inefficiency breeds investment opportunity). The end result: our job is getting more difficult. Yet, the upside is that, even with all the recent progress, there remain significant inefficiencies, and it’s likely that to some degree many are structural. Each market has its own quirks, which can range from zoning/policy/building restrictions and basic supply/demand trends to ownership concentrations, demographics and environmental issues. Likewise, every sub-sector is unique; operating an office portfolio is very different from owning and managing apartments, just as there are vastly different requirements for property sectors as diverse as data centers, billboards, malls, cell towers and senior housing. Put simply, we still think that there are substantial opportunities to uncover an investment edge, which is what we set out to do every day.
 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 
Our relative outperformance during the year was driven by stock selection, which was particularly strong in the U.S. and Japan. Among geographies with a relatively large weighting in the index, stock selection was weakest in Hong Kong and Australia.
 
Our geographic allocation also contributed to relative performance, though to a lesser degree. Underweights to

Janus Alternative Fund | 1

Japan and China, and an overweight to the U.S. were the largest contributors to relative results. Notable detractors were overweights to Brazil and the UK.
 
In terms of returns by sub-industry, the top contributors to the Fund’s performance were mortgage REITs and real estate services companies. Subtracting the most from relative performance were casino/gaming companies and diversified real estate companies. Our underweights to retail and residential REITs also hurt.
 
We’ve long emphasized that we have a somewhat atypical investment approach that hinges on our ability to capitalize on our research and the firm’s wide-ranging knowledge of multiple sectors to generate real estate ideas/opportunities that might be a bit off the beaten path, often not in the index. While usually a relatively small percentage of overall holdings (10-15%), these positions are often meaningful contributors to overall returns. We refer to these investments as special situations, and this year six of the Fund’s top ten contributors fit that billing. The six range from diversified real estate investors and hybrid REITs to homebuilders, hotel owners and the largest owner/operator of golf courses in the U.S. We believe all six are very much in the real estate business, and their positioning in the portfolio is predicated on the attractiveness of their valuation and risk/reward profile relative to opportunities in the index.
 
Top contributor NorthStar Realty was one of those special situations. NorthStar is a U.S.-based hybrid REIT involved in multiple businesses, ranging from real estate lending and debt structuring to private REIT management and the ownership of health care facilities, hotels and manufactured housing communities. We believe the company has proved an opportunistic and astute allocator of capital, and think that its recently completed spin-off of its asset management group will provide greater visibility into its potential for solid cash flow growth and further dividend increases.
 
Even though it’s now included in most of the major indexes, Chatham Lodging was another special situation when we first invested. The REIT was launched in 2010 to assemble a portfolio of upscale extended-stay and branded select-service hotels. We’ve been pleased with the company’s execution to date, and its focus on select service, a sector many of the larger hotel REITs shy away from, provides an attractive growth opportunity, in our opinion. The stock was buoyed earlier in the year by news of share purchases by activist investors, one of whom floated an offer to buy the company, and more recently by a large, strategic joint-venture that greatly expanded and, in our view, enhanced its portfolio.
 
While generally pleased with our performance during the period, we certainly had some hiccups and several holdings that put up disappointing results. Our biggest detractor was Mitsubishi Estate, one of the leading real estate companies in Japan, with a dominant leasing portfolio position in Marunouchi, the premier business location in Tokyo. In hindsight, we think a large part of its weak return was a too-much-too-fast reaction to an exceptional 2013, and we still like its long-term prospects. Supply growth of Class A space in central Tokyo is limited, and vacancy rates have remained in a fairly tight range over the last several years. In addition, as a result of the deregulation of plot ratio allowances, Mitsubishi Estate is able to redevelop a number of its Marunouchi buildings and increase rentable square footage. These redevelopments are typically high-return projects for the company.
 
Hang Lung has been volatile over the last two years, and finished the 12-month period down a very disappointing 14%. We continue to believe that the company’s prospects remain closely tied to growth in domestic consumption in China, which we should point out is one of the top priorities of the most recent five-year plan produced by the central government. And, while we haven’t wavered from our core thesis that a first-mover advantage in premium shopping mall development in second-tier cities in China should lead to significant value creation over the next decade, we acknowledge that initial yields on recent openings have been below pro forma, and the ramp in competitive supply has been more rapid and robust than we anticipated. The stock is currently under review.

OUTLOOK
 
Despite a weak calendar third quarter – the final quarter of our fiscal year – that closed out with a dismal September, we actually remain fairly constructive on the real estate space as we charge into year-end 2014. This is in light of our considerable concerns about the strength and sustainability of the global recovery, more worries about geopolitical tensions, and increasing skepticism about the ability of policy makers, particularly in the U.S., to make difficult decisions. While certainly over-used, we think the “addict” analogy is appropriate; easy money is addictive, and weaning a still fragile global economy off of it will take courage and resolve, both of which seem in short supply in today’s public sector. Yes, there will be short-term pain, but we believe the alternative would prove

far worse. We simply don’t see the current policies of most of the world’s central banks as sustainable. This is precisely why we like being defensively positioned in an alternative asset class like real estate. We believe the sector has multiple attributes that could prove fortuitous in the coming months, and, if we had to identify a couple right now that we’d expect to garner increasing attention from investors, they would be the potential inflation hedge, scarcity value and yield generation associated with many of these hard assets.
 
Circling back to our opening discussion about the growing difficulty of sustaining an investment edge in increasingly efficient real estate markets, we will wrap up with a few high-level thoughts on three of the factors that we think are likely to boost potential returns in the coming year. First, there’s development. Delivering new, state-of-the-art product in heated acquisition markets – in many cases over-heated, at least in our view – where deals are being done at prices in excess of replacement cost is a solid means of enhancing net asset value. Secondly, there are the opportunistic and nimble management teams. These are the managers who typically have strong balance sheets and vertically-integrated platforms, giving them multiple levers with which to grow their businesses, take advantage of market dislocations and accretively recycle capital. And finally, there’s M&A (mergers and acquisitions). We’ve seen an uptick in the last year, and we believe it’s still early days – it’s a yield-starved world, and the wall of capital seeking good bricks and mortar (cash-flowing commercial real estate) seems to get bigger by the day. We hope our focus on discounted valuation will lead us to some attractive take-out candidates.
 
Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Global Real Estate Fund.

Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (applicable to Class A Shares only); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees; administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement; and other Fund expenses. This 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-months indicated, unless noted otherwise in the table and footnotes below.
 
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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 appropriate column for your share class 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 information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” 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. Additionally, for an analysis of the fees associated with an investment in any share class or other similar funds, please visit www.finra.org/fundanalyzer.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. These fees are fully described in the Fund’s prospectuses. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are 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.

  Expenses Paid During Period are equal to the Net Annualized Expense Ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses in the examples include the effect of applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any. Had such waivers and/or reimbursements not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher. Please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements or the Fund’s prospectuses for more information regarding waivers and/or reimbursements.

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 (the “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. The financial statements include information for the year ended September 30, 2014. The Trust offers forty-six 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 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. Class D Shares are available only to investors who hold accounts directly with the Janus funds, to immediate family members or members of the same household of an eligible individual investor, and to existing beneficial owners of sole proprietorships or partnerships that hold accounts directly with the Janus funds.
 
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, as well as 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.
 
Investment Valuation
Securities held by the Fund are valued in accordance with policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Trustees (the “Valuation Procedures”). Equity securities traded on a domestic securities exchange are generally valued at the closing prices on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If such price is lacking for the trading period immediately preceding the time of determination, such securities are valued at their current bid price. Equity securities that are traded on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the closing prices on such markets. In the event that there is no current trading volume on a particular security in such foreign exchange, the bid price from the primary exchange is generally used to value the security. Securities that are traded on the over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets are generally valued at their closing or latest bid prices as available. Foreign securities and currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate in effect at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Fund will determine the market value of individual securities held by it by using prices provided by one or more professional pricing services or, as needed, by obtaining market quotations from independent broker-dealers. Certain short-term securities maturing within 60 days or less are valued on an amortized cost basis. 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 that is intended to reflect market value. The evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service is an evaluation that may consider factors such as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings. Securities for which market quotations or evaluated prices are not readily available or deemed unreliable are valued at fair value determined in good faith

under the Valuation Procedures. 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 nonvalued security and a restricted or nonpublic security. The Fund uses systematic fair valuation models provided by independent third parties to value international equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the close of the NYSE.
 
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 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.
 
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain provisions for indemnification of other parties against certain potential liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, and would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
 
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 translations.
 
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 quarterly, and realized capital gains (if any) annually.
 
The Fund 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 Fund distributes such amounts, such distributions could constitute a return of capital to shareholders for federal income tax purposes.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 
Federal Income Taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income in accordance with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years, generally a three-year period, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) standard 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 may be 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 may be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy include, but are not limited to, preferred stocks, bank loans, swaps, investments in unregistered investment companies, options, and forward contracts. The Fund uses systematic fair valuation models provided by independent third parties to value international equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the close of 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.
 
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 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, 2014 to value the Fund’s investments in securities and other financial instruments is included in the “Valuation Inputs Summary” in the Notes to Schedule of Investments and Other Information.
 
The Fund did not hold a significant amount of Level 3 securities as of September 30, 2014.
 
The following table shows the amounts of transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the year. The Fund recognizes transfers between the levels as of the beginning of the fiscal year.

Financial assets were transferred out of Level 1 to Level 2 since certain foreign equity prices were applied a fair valuation adjustment factor at the end of the current fiscal year and no factor was applied at the end of the prior fiscal 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. Each derivative instrument that was held by the Fund during the year ended September 30, 2014 is discussed in further detail below. A summary of derivative activity is reflected in the tables at the end of this section.
 
The Fund may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes (to offset risks associated with an investment, currency exposure, or market conditions), to adjust currency exposure relative to a benchmark index, or for speculative (to earn income and 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 derivative’s cost. The Fund may not use any derivative to gain exposure to an asset or class of assets in which it would be 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 in general are subject to market 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, as described below.
 
Derivatives may generally be traded OTC or on an exchange. Derivatives traded OTC, such as options and 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 (the party on the other side of the transaction) on a derivative transaction will be unable to honor its financial 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 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 net asset value (“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 investing in instruments, including derivatives, where the investment loss can exceed the original amount invested. Certain investments or trading strategies, such as short

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

  sales, 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.
 
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 is subject to interest rate risk, liquidity risk, equity risk, and currency risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective 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 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 becomes 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. Options written are reported as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Options written, at value”. Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gain/(loss) from written options contracts” on the Statement of Operations.
 
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 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.
 
During the year, the Fund wrote put options on various equity securities for the purpose of increasing exposure to individual equity risk and/or generating income.

3.  Other Investments and Strategies
 
Additional Investment Risk
The financial crisis that began in 2008 caused a significant decline in the value and liquidity of many securities of issuers worldwide in the equity and fixed-income/credit markets. In response to the crisis, the United States and certain foreign governments, along with the U.S. Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks took steps to support the financial markets. The withdrawal of this support, a failure of measures put into place to respond to the crisis, or investor perception that such efforts were not sufficient each could negatively affect financial markets generally, and the value and liquidity of specific securities. In addition, policy and legislative changes in the United States and in other countries continue to impact many aspects of financial regulation. The effect of these changes on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, including the Fund, may not be fully known for some time. As a result, it may also be unusually difficult to identify both investment risks and opportunities, which could limit or preclude the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Therefore, it is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, and you could lose money.
 
The enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) in July 2010 provided for widespread regulation of financial institutions, consumer financial products and services, broker-dealers, OTC derivatives, investment advisers, credit rating agencies, and mortgage lending, which expands federal oversight in the financial sector, including the investment management industry. Many provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act remain pending and will be implemented through future rulemaking. Therefore, the ultimate impact of the Dodd-Frank Act and the regulations under the

Dodd-Frank Act, on the Fund and the investment management industry as a whole, is not yet certain.
 
A number of countries in the European Union (“EU”) have experienced severe economic and financial difficulties. As a result, financial markets in the EU have been subject to increased volatility and declines in asset values and liquidity. Responses to these financial problems by European governments, central banks, and others, including austerity measures and reforms, may not work, may result in social unrest, and may limit future growth and economic recovery or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and others of their debt could have additional adverse effects on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world.
 
Certain areas of the world have historically been prone to and economically sensitive to environmental events such as, but not limited to, hurricanes, earthquakes, typhoons, flooding, tidal waves, tsunamis, erupting volcanoes, wildfires or droughts, tornadoes, mudslides, or other weather-related phenomena. Such disasters, and the resulting physical or economic damage, could have a severe and negative impact on the Fund’s investment portfolio and, in the longer term, could impair the ability of issuers in which the Fund invests to conduct their businesses as they would under normal conditions. Adverse weather conditions may also have a particularly significant negative effect on issuers in the agricultural sector and on insurance companies that insure against the impact of natural disasters.
 
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 with respect to financial assets and liabilities approximates its carrying value. See the “Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” section of this Note for further details.
 
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 balance is 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.
 
Emerging Market Investing
The Fund may invest in securities of issuers or companies from or with exposure to one or more “developing countries” or “emerging market countries.” Investing in emerging markets may involve certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States and imposes risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks associated with investing in securities of more developed foreign countries. Emerging markets securities are exposed to 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. There is a risk in developing countries that a future economic or political crisis could lead to price controls, forced mergers of companies, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, imposition or enforcement of foreign ownership limits, seizure, nationalization, sanctions or imposition of restrictions by various governmental entities on investment and trading, or creation of government monopolies, any of which may have a detrimental effect on the Fund’s investments. 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.
 
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
The Fund presents gross and net information about transactions that are either offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement with a designated

counterparty, regardless of whether the transactions are actually offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and forward foreign currency exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, in the event of a default and/or termination event, the Fund may offset with each counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. Note that for financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and receivables and related collateral on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
The following table presents gross amounts of recognized assets and liabilities and the net amounts after deducting collateral that has been pledged by counterparties or has been pledged to counterparties (if applicable). For corresponding information grouped by type of instrument, see either the “Fair Value of Derivative Instruments as of September 30, 2014” table located in Note 2 of these Notes to Financial Statements and/or the Schedule of Investments.

Deutsche Bank AG acts as securities lending agent and a limited purpose custodian or subcustodian to receive and disburse cash balances and cash collateral, hold short-term investments, hold collateral, and perform other custodian functions. Securities on loan will be continuously secured by collateral which may consist of cash, U.S. Government securities, domestic and foreign short-term debt instruments, letters of credit, time deposits, repurchase agreements, money market mutual funds or other money market accounts, or such other collateral as permitted by the SEC. 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. Upon receipt of cash collateral, Janus Capital currently intends to invest the cash collateral in a cash management vehicle for which Janus Capital serves as investment adviser, Janus Cash Collateral Fund LLC. 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 on this mark-to-market evaluation.
 
The Fund may require the counterparty to pledge securities as collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) if the Fund has a net aggregate unrealized gain on OTC derivative contracts with a particular counterparty. The Fund may deposit cash as collateral with the counterparty and/or custodian daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) if the Fund has a net aggregate unrealized loss on OTC derivative contacts with a particular counterparty. The collateral amounts are subject to minimum exposure requirements and initial margin requirements. Collateral amounts are monitored and subsequently adjusted up or down as valuations fluctuate by at least the minimum exposure requirement. Collateral may reduce the risk of loss.
 
Real Estate Investing
The Fund may invest in equity and debt securities of real estate-related companies. Such companies may include those in the real estate industry or real estate-related industries. These securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, and other equity securities, including, but not limited to, mortgage-backed securities, real estate-backed securities, securities of REITs and similar REIT-like entities. A REIT is a trust that invests in real estate-related

Janus Alternative Fund | 27


Table of Contents

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

projects, such as properties, mortgage loans, and construction loans. REITs are generally categorized as equity, mortgage, or hybrid REITs. A REIT may be listed on an exchange or traded OTC.
 
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
Under procedures adopted by the Trustees, the Fund may seek to earn additional income by lending securities to qualified parties. Deutsche Bank AG acts as securities lending agent and a limited purpose custodian or subcustodian to receive and disburse cash balances and cash collateral, hold short-term investments, hold collateral, and perform other custodian functions. The Fund may lend portfolio securities in an amount equal to up to 1/3 of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination. There is the risk of delay in recovering a loaned security or the risk of loss in collateral rights if the borrower fails financially. In addition, Janus Capital makes efforts to balance the benefits and risks from granting such loans. All loans will be continuously secured by collateral which may consist of cash, U.S. Government securities, domestic and foreign short-term debt instruments, letters of credit, time deposits, repurchase agreements, money market mutual funds or other money market accounts, or such other collateral as permitted by the SEC. 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.
 
Upon receipt of cash collateral, Janus Capital may invest it in affiliated or non-affiliated cash management vehicles, whether registered or unregistered entities, as permitted by the 1940 Act and rules promulgated thereunder. Janus Capital currently intends to invest the cash collateral in a cash management vehicle for which Janus Capital serves as investment adviser, Janus Cash Collateral Fund LLC. An investment in Janus Cash Collateral Fund LLC is generally subject to the same risks that shareholders experience when investing in similarly structured vehicles, such as the potential for significant fluctuations in assets as a result of the purchase and redemption activity of the securities lending program, a decline in the value of the collateral, and possible liquidity issues. Such risks may delay the return of the cash collateral and cause the Fund to violate its agreement to return the cash collateral to a borrower in a timely manner. As adviser to the Fund and Janus Cash Collateral Fund LLC, Janus Capital has an inherent conflict of interest as a result of its fiduciary duties to both the Fund and Janus Cash Collateral Fund LLC. Additionally, Janus Capital receives an investment advisory fee of 0.05% for managing Janus Cash Collateral Fund LLC, but it may not receive a fee for managing certain other affiliated cash management vehicles in which the Fund may invest, and therefore may have an incentive to allocate preferred investment opportunities to investment vehicles for which it is receiving a fee.
 
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 on this mark-to-market evaluation.
 
The cash collateral invested by Janus Capital is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. Income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the lending agent are included as “Affiliated securities lending income, net” on the Statement of Operations.
 
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 “base” fee rate prior to any performance adjustment (expressed as an annual rate).
 
             
Fund   Base Fee (%)      
 
 
Janus Global Real Estate Fund
    0.75      
 
 
 
For the 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 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 Fund’s prospectuses and statement of additional information contain additional information about performance-based fees. The amount shown as advisory fees on the Statement of Operations reflects the Base Fee Rate plus/minus any Performance Adjustment. The performance adjusted investment advisory fee rate before any waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses for the year ended September 30, 2014 is:

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.
 
Certain, but not all, intermediaries charge administrative fees to investors in Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares for administrative services provided on behalf of such investors. 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. Consistent with the Transfer Agency Agreement between Janus Services and the Fund, Janus Services may negotiate the level, structure, and/or terms of the administrative fees with intermediaries requiring such fees on behalf of the Fund. Janus Capital and its affiliates benefit from an increase in assets that may result from such relationships.
 
Class D Shares pay an annual administrative services fee of 0.12% of net assets. These administrative services fees are paid by Class D Shares 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 and Class T Shares of the Fund for providing or procuring administrative services to investors in Class S Shares and Class T Shares of the Fund. Janus Services expects to use all or a significant portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial intermediaries for providing these services. 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 Class S Shares and Class T Shares of the Fund. Janus Services may keep certain amounts retained for reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs incurred for servicing clients of Class S Shares and Class T Shares.
 
Services provided by these financial intermediaries may include, but are not limited to, recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing, providing order confirmations, periodic statements, forwarding prospectuses, shareholder reports, and other materials to existing customers, answering inquiries regarding accounts, and other administrative services. 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 Capital.
 
Janus Services is compensated for its services related to Class D Shares, and receives reimbursement for its out-of-pocket costs on all other share classes. Included in out-of-pocket expenses are the expenses Janus Services incurs for serving as transfer agent and providing servicing to shareholders.
 
Under a distribution and shareholder servicing plan (the “Plan”) adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund may pay the Trust’s distributor, Janus Distributors LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, a fee at an annual rate 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. Under the terms of the Plan, the Trust is authorized to make payments to Janus Distributors for remittance to retirement plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial intermediaries, as compensation for distribution and/or shareholder services performed by such entities for their

customers who are investors in the Fund. 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 the difference. Refunds, if any, are included in “Distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees” in the Statements of Operations.
 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund, or reimburse expenses in an amount equal to the amount, if any, that the Fund’s normal operating expenses in any fiscal year, including the investment advisory fee, but excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, the 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, brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, exceed the annual rate shown below. Janus Capital has agreed to continue the waiver until at least February 1, 2015. If applicable, amounts reimbursed to the Fund by Janus Capital are disclosed as “Excess Expense Reimbursement” on the Statement 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, 2014 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 year ended September 30, 2014 are included in “Non-interested Trustees’ fees and expenses” on the Statement 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. Deferred fees of $283,000 were paid by the Trust to a Trustee under the Deferred Plan during the year ended September 30, 2014.
 
Certain officers of the Fund may also be officers and/or directors of Janus Capital. The Fund indirectly pays for the salaries, fees, and expenses of certain Janus Capital employees and Fund officers, with respect to certain specified administration functions they perform on behalf of the Fund. Administration costs are separate and apart from advisory fees and other expenses paid in connection with the investment advisory services Janus Capital provides to the Fund. Some expenses related to compensation payable to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer and compliance staff are shared with the Fund. Total compensation of $522,703 was paid to the Chief Compliance Officer and certain compliance staff by the Trust during the year ended September 30, 2014. The Fund’s portion is reported as part of “Other expenses” on the Statement 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 year ended September 30, 2014, Janus Distributors retained the following upfront sales charges:

A contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) 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 CDSCs paid by redeeming shareholders of Class A Shares to Janus Distributors during the year ended September 30, 2014.
 
Class C Shares include a 1.00% CDSC paid by redeeming shareholders to Janus Distributors. The CDSC applies to shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The redemption price may differ from the NAV per share. During the year ended September 30, 2014,

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 Statement of Operations. 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 provisions of the 1940 Act and rules promulgated thereunder, the Fund may participate in an affiliated or nonaffiliated cash sweep program. In the cash sweep program, uninvested cash balances of the Fund may be used to purchase shares of affiliated or nonaffiliated 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 currently 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 year ended September 30, 2014, any recorded distributions from affiliated investments as affiliated dividend income, and affiliated purchases and sales can be found in the Notes to Schedule of Investments and Other Information.

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 primarily 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, 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.

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 capital.

8.  New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-08, Financial Services – Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2013-08”). This update sets forth a new approach for determining whether a public or private company is an investment company and sets certain measurement and disclosure requirements for an investment company. FASB has determined that a fund registered under the 1940 Act automatically meets ASU 2013-08’s criteria for an investment company. ASU 2013-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. Management does not expect this guidance to have an impact on the Fund’s financial statements.
 
9.  Subsequent Event
 
Management has evaluated whether any other events or transactions occurred subsequent to September 30, 2014 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 Board of 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 Janus Global Real Estate Fund (one of the funds constituting Janus Investment Fund, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at September 30, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended 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, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AGREEMENTS DURING THE PERIOD
 
The Trustees of Janus Investment Fund and Janus Aspen Series, each of whom serves as an “independent” Trustee (the “Trustees”), oversee the management of each Fund of Janus Investment Fund and each Portfolio of Janus Aspen Series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), and as required by law, determine annually whether to continue the investment advisory agreement for each Fund and the subadvisory agreements for the 16 Funds that utilize subadvisers.
 
In connection with their most recent consideration of those agreements for each Fund, the Trustees received and reviewed information provided by Janus Capital and the respective subadvisers in response to requests of the Trustees and their independent legal counsel. They also received and reviewed information and analysis provided by, and in response to requests of, their independent fee consultant. Throughout their consideration of the agreements, the Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel. The Trustees met with management to consider the agreements, and also met separately in executive session with their independent legal counsel and their independent fee consultant.
 
At a meeting held on December 17, 2013, based on the Trustees’ evaluation of the information provided by Janus Capital, the subadvisers, and the independent fee consultant, as well as other information, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between each Fund and Janus Capital and each subadviser, as applicable, were fair and reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Janus Capital, its affiliates and the subadvisers, the fees charged for those services, and other matters that the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. At that meeting, the Trustees unanimously approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for each Fund, and the subadvisory agreement for each subadvised Fund, for the period from either January 1 or February 1, 2014 through January 1 or February 1, 2015, respectively, subject to earlier termination as provided for in each agreement.
 
In considering the continuation of those agreements, the Trustees reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below, none of which by itself was considered dispositive. However, the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ determination to approve the continuation of the agreements are discussed separately below. Also included is a summary of the independent fee consultant’s conclusions and opinions that arose during, and were included as part of, the Trustees’ consideration of the agreements. “Management fees,” as used herein, reflect actual annual advisory fees and any administration fees, net of any waivers.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
 
The Trustees reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Janus Capital and the subadvisers to the Funds, taking into account the investment objective, strategies and policies of each 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 Funds. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the resources and key personnel of Janus Capital and each subadviser, particularly noting those employees who provide investment and risk management services to the Funds. The Trustees also considered other services provided to the Funds by Janus Capital or the subadvisers, such as managing the execution of portfolio transactions and the selection of broker-dealers for those transactions. The Trustees considered Janus Capital’s role as administrator to the Funds, noting that Janus Capital does not receive a fee for its services but is reimbursed for its out-of-pocket costs. The Trustees considered the role of Janus Capital in monitoring adherence to the Funds’ investment restrictions, providing support services for the Trustees and Trustee committees, communicating with shareholders and overseeing the activities of other service providers,

including monitoring compliance with various policies and procedures of the Funds and with applicable securities laws and regulations.
 
In this regard, the independent fee consultant noted that Janus Capital provides a number of different services for the Funds and Fund shareholders, ranging from investment management services to various other servicing functions, and that, in its opinion, Janus Capital is a capable provider of those services. The independent fee consultant also provided its belief that Janus Capital has developed institutional competitive advantages that should be able to provide superior investment management returns over the long term.
 
The Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Janus Capital or the subadviser to each Fund were appropriate and consistent with the terms of the respective advisory and subadvisory agreements, and that, taking into account steps taken to address those Funds whose performance lagged that of their peers for certain periods, the Funds were likely to benefit from the continued provision of those services. They also concluded that Janus Capital and each subadviser had sufficient personnel, with the appropriate education and experience, to serve the Funds effectively and had demonstrated its ability to attract well-qualified personnel.
 
Performance of the Funds
 
The Trustees considered the performance results of each Fund over various time periods. They noted that they considered Fund performance data throughout the year, including periodic meetings with each Fund’s portfolio manager(s), and also reviewed information comparing each Fund’s performance with the performance of comparable funds and peer groups identified by independent data providers, and with the Fund’s benchmark index. In this regard, the independent fee consultant found that the overall Funds’ performance has improved modestly: for the 36 months ended September 30, 2013, approximately 51% of the Funds were in the top two Lipper quartiles of performance, and for the 12 months ended September 30, 2013, approximately 52% of the Funds were in the top two Lipper quartiles of performance.

The Trustees noted the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance, noting that the Fund has a performance fee structure that results in lower management fees during periods of underperformance, the steps Janus Capital had taken or was taking to improve performance, and that the performance trend was improving.
 
•  For Janus Aspen Overseas Portfolio, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the bottom Lipper quartile for the 36 months ended May 31, 2013 and the 12 months ended May 31, 2013. The Trustees noted the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance, noting that the Fund has a performance fee structure that results in lower management fees during periods of underperformance, and the steps Janus Capital had taken or was taking to improve performance.

•  For Janus Aspen Perkins Mid Cap Value Portfolio, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the bottom Lipper quartile for the 36 months ended May 31, 2013 and the third Lipper quartile for the 12 months ended May 31, 2013. The Trustees noted the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance, noting that the Fund has a performance fee structure that results in lower management fees during periods of underperformance, the steps Janus Capital and Perkins had taken or was taking to improve performance, and that the performance trend was improving.
 
•  For Janus Aspen Preservation Series – Growth, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the bottom Lipper quartile for the 12 months ended May 31, 2013. The Trustees noted the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance, and its limited performance history.
 
In consideration of each Fund’s performance, the Trustees concluded that, taking into account the factors relevant to performance, as well as other considerations, the Fund’s performance warranted continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement(s).
 
Costs of Services Provided
 
The Trustees examined information regarding the fees and expenses of each Fund in comparison to similar information for other comparable funds as provided by independent data providers. They also reviewed an analysis of that information provided by their independent fee consultant and noted that the rate of management (investment advisory and any administration) fees for many of the Funds, after applicable contractual expense limitations, was below the mean management fee rate of the respective peer group of funds selected by independent data providers. The Trustees also examined information regarding the subadvisory fees charged for subadvisory services, as applicable, noting that all such fees were paid by Janus Capital out of its management fees collected from such Fund.
 
In this regard, the independent fee consultant provided its belief that the management fees charged by Janus Capital to each of the Funds under the current investment advisory and administration agreements are reasonable in relation to the services provided by Janus Capital. The independent fee consultant found: (1) the total expenses and management fees of the Funds to be reasonable relative to other mutual funds; (2) total expenses, on average, were 17% below the mean total expenses of their respective Lipper Expense Group peers and 29% below the mean total expenses for their Lipper Expense Universes; (3) management fees for the Funds, on average, were 14% below the mean management fees for their Expense Groups and 16% below the mean for their Expense Universes; and (4) Janus fund expenses at the functional level for each asset and share class category were reasonable. The Trustees also considered how the total expenses for each share class of each Fund compared to the mean total expenses for its Lipper Expense Group peers and to mean total expenses for its Lipper Expense Universe.
 
The independent fee consultant concluded that, based on its strategic review of expenses at the complex, category and individual fund level, Fund expenses were found to be reasonable relative to both Expense Group and Expense Universe benchmarks. Further, for certain Funds, the independent fee consultant also performed a systematic “focus list” analysis of expenses in the context of the performance or service delivered to each set of investors in each share class in each selected Fund. Based on this analysis, the independent fee consultant found that the combination of service quality/performance and expenses on these individual Funds and share classes were reasonable in light of performance trends, performance histories, and existence of performance fees on such Funds.
 
The Trustees considered the methodology used by Janus Capital and each subadviser in determining compensation payable to portfolio managers, the competitive environment for investment management talent, and the competitive market for mutual funds in different distribution channels.
 
The Trustees also reviewed management fees charged by Janus Capital and each subadviser to comparable separate account clients and to comparable non-affiliated funds subadvised by Janus Capital or by a subadviser (for which Janus Capital or the subadviser provides only portfolio management services). Although in most instances subadvisory and separate account fee rates for various investment strategies were lower than management fee rates for Funds having a similar strategy, the Trustees noted that, under the terms of the management agreements with the Funds, Janus Capital performs significant additional services for the Funds that it does not provide to those other clients, including administration services, oversight of the Funds’ other service providers, trustee support, regulatory compliance and numerous other services, and that, in serving the Funds, Janus Capital assumes many legal risks that it does not assume in servicing its other clients. Moreover, they noted that the independent fee consultant found that: (1) the management fees Janus Capital charges to the Funds are reasonable in relation to the management fees Janus Capital charges to its institutional and subadvised accounts; (2) these institutional and subadvised accounts have different service and infrastructure needs; and (3) the average spread between management fees

charged to the Funds and those charged to Janus Capital’s institutional and subadvised accounts is reasonable relative to the average spreads seen in the industry.
 
The Trustees considered the fees for each Fund for its fiscal year ended in 2012, and noted the following with regard to each Fund’s total expenses, net of applicable fee waivers:
 
Fixed-Income Funds and Money Market Funds
 
•  For Janus Flexible Bond Fund, the Trustees noted that, although the Fund’s total expenses exceeded the peer group mean for certain share classes, overall the Fund’s total expenses were reasonable. The Trustees also noted that Janus Capital has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses, although this limit did not apply because the Fund’s total expenses were already below the applicable fee limit.
 
•  For Janus Global Bond Fund, the Trustees noted that, although the Fund’s total expenses exceeded the peer group mean for certain share classes, overall the Fund’s total expenses were reasonable. The Trustees also noted that Janus Capital has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses.
 
•  For Janus High-Yield Fund, the Trustees noted that, although the Fund’s total expenses exceeded the peer group mean for certain share classes, overall the Fund’s total expenses were reasonable. The Trustees also noted that Janus Capital has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses, although this limit did not apply because the Fund’s total expenses were already below the applicable fee limit.

•  For Janus Government Money Market Fund, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s total expenses exceeded the peer group mean for both share classes.

In addition, the Trustees considered that Janus Capital voluntarily waives one-half of its advisory fee.

•  For Janus Aspen Janus Portfolio, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s total expenses were below the peer group mean for both share classes.
 
•  For Janus Aspen Overseas Portfolio, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s total expenses were below the peer group mean for both share classes.
 
•  For Janus Aspen Perkins Mid Cap Value Portfolio, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s total expenses were below the peer group mean for both share classes.

The Trustees reviewed information on the profitability to Janus Capital and its affiliates of their relationships with each Fund, as well as an explanation of the methodology utilized in allocating various expenses of Janus Capital and its affiliates among the Funds and other clients. The Trustees also reviewed the financial statements and corporate structure of Janus Capital’s parent company. In their review, the Trustees considered whether Janus Capital and each subadviser receive adequate incentives to manage the Funds effectively. The Trustees recognized that profitability comparisons among fund managers are difficult because very little comparative information is publicly available, and the profitability of any fund manager is affected by numerous factors, including the organizational structure of the particular fund manager, the types of funds and other accounts it manages, possible other lines of business, the methodology for allocating expenses, and the fund manager’s capital structure and cost of capital. However, taking into account those factors and the analysis provided by the Trustees’ independent fee consultant, and based on the information available, the Trustees concluded that Janus Capital’s profitability with respect to each Fund in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.
 
In this regard, the independent fee consultant found that, while assessing the reasonableness of expenses in light of Janus Capital’s profits is dependent on comparisons with other publicly-traded mutual fund advisers, and that these comparisons are limited in accuracy by differences in complex size, business mix, institutional account orientation, and other factors, after accepting these limitations, the level of profit earned by Janus Capital from managing the Funds is reasonable.
 
The Trustees concluded that the management fees and other compensation payable by each Fund to Janus Capital and its affiliates, as well as the fees paid by Janus Capital to the subadvisers of subadvised Funds, were reasonable in relation to the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided, taking into account the fees charged by other advisers for managing comparable mutual funds with similar strategies, the fees Janus Capital and the subadvisers charge to other clients, and, as applicable, the impact of fund performance on management fees payable by the Funds. The Trustees also concluded that the overall expense ratio of each Fund was reasonable, taking into account the size of the Fund, the quality of services provided by Janus Capital and any subadviser, the investment performance of the Fund, and any expense limitations agreed to or provided by Janus Capital.
 
Economies of Scale
 
The Trustees considered information about the potential for Janus Capital to realize economies of scale as the assets of the Funds increase. They noted that, although many Funds pay advisory fees at a base fixed rate as a percentage of net assets, without any breakpoints, the base management fee rate paid by most of the Funds, before any adjustment for performance and after any contractual expense limitations, was below the mean management fee rate of the Fund’s peer group identified by independent data providers; and, for those Funds whose expenses are being reduced by the contractual expense limitations of Janus Capital, Janus Capital is subsidizing the Funds because they have not reached adequate scale. Moreover, as the assets of many of the Funds have declined in the past few years, certain Funds have benefited from having advisory fee rates that have remained constant rather than increasing as assets declined. In addition, performance fee structures have been implemented for various Funds that have caused the effective rate of advisory fees payable by such a Fund to vary depending on the investment performance of the Fund relative to its benchmark index over the measurement period; and a few Funds have fee schedules with breakpoints and reduced fee rates above certain asset levels. The Trustees also noted that the Funds share directly in economies of scale through the lower charges of third-party service providers that are based in part on the combined scale of all of the Funds. Based on all of the information they reviewed, including research and analysis conducted by the Trustees’ independent fee consultant, the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure of each Fund was reasonable and that the current rates of fees do reflect a sharing between Janus Capital and the Fund of any economies of scale that may be present at the current asset level of the Fund.
 
In this regard, the independent fee consultant concluded that, based on analysis it completed, and given the limitations in these analytical approaches and their

Table of Contents

 

conflicting results, it could not confirm or deny the existence of economies of scale in the Janus complex. Further, the independent fee consultant provided its belief that Fund investors are well-served by the fee levels and performance fee structures in place on the Funds in light of any economies of scale that may be present at Janus Capital.
 
Other Benefits to Janus Capital
 
The Trustees also considered benefits that accrue to Janus Capital and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds. They recognized that two affiliates of Janus Capital separately serve the Funds as transfer agent and distributor, respectively, and the transfer agent receives compensation directly from the non-money market funds for services provided. The Trustees also considered Janus Capital’s past and proposed use of commissions paid by the Funds on their portfolio brokerage transactions to obtain proprietary and third-party research products and services benefiting the Fund and/or other clients of Janus Capital. The Trustees concluded that Janus Capital’s use of these types of client commission arrangements to obtain proprietary and third-party research products and services was consistent with regulatory requirements and guidelines and was likely to benefit each Fund. The Trustees also concluded that, other than the services provided by Janus Capital and its affiliates pursuant to the agreements and the fees to be paid by each Fund therefor, the Funds and Janus Capital may potentially benefit from their relationship with each other in other ways. They concluded that Janus Capital benefits from the receipt of research products and services acquired through commissions paid on portfolio transactions of the Funds and that the Funds 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. They further concluded that the success of any Fund could attract other business to Janus Capital or other Janus funds, and that the success of Janus Capital could enhance Janus Capital’s ability to serve the Funds.

Useful Information About Your Fund Report (unaudited)

 
1.  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 risk. 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 in the Management Commentary are just that: opinions. They are a reflection based on best judgment at the time this report was compiled, which was September 30, 2014. As the investing environment changes, so could opinions. These views are unique and aren’t necessarily shared by fellow employees or by Janus in general.
 
2.  Performance Overviews
 
Performance overview graphs compare the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund with one or more widely used market indices.
 
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 quoted for a Fund with more than one year of performance history. 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.
 
Cumulative total returns are quoted for a Fund with less than one year of performance history. Cumulative total return is the growth or decline in value of an investment over time, independent of the period of time involved. Cumulative 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 (if applicable) and unsubsidized ratios. 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 reflects the Fund’s subsidized expense ratio. Ratios may be higher or lower than those shown in the “Financial Highlights” in this report.
 
3.  Schedule of Investments
 
Following the performance overview section is the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. This schedule reports the 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 of risk. The Fund’s Schedule of Investments relies upon the industry group and country classifications published by Barclays and/or MSCI Inc.
 
Tables listing details of individual forward currency contracts, futures, written options and swaps follow the Fund’s Schedule of Investments (if applicable).
 
4.  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 securities 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

46 | SEPTEMBER 30, 2014


Table of Contents

 

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 for each share class (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding.
 
5.  Statement of Operations
 
This statement details the Fund’s income, expenses, realized gains and losses on securities and currency transactions, and changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of Fund holdings.
 
The first section in this statement, entitled “Investment Income,” reports the dividends earned from securities 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 amounts of realized gains or losses from investment and foreign currency transactions, and changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. The Fund will realize a gain (or loss) when it sells its position in a particular security. A change in 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.
 
6.  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 and distributions to investors 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 Statement of Operations regarding changes in net assets due to the Fund’s investment operations. The Fund’s net assets may also change as a result of dividend and capital gains distributions to investors. If investors receive their dividends and/or distributions in cash, money is taken out of the Fund to pay the dividend and/or distribution. If investors reinvest their dividends and/or distributions, the Fund’s net assets will not be affected. If you compare the Fund’s “Net Decrease from Dividends and Distributions” to “Reinvested Dividends and Distributions,” you will notice that dividends and distributions have little effect on the Fund’s net assets. This is because the majority of the Fund’s investors reinvest their dividends and/or distributions.
 
The reinvestment of dividends and distributions is included under “Capital Share Transactions.” “Capital Shares” refers to the money investors contribute to the Fund through purchases or withdrawals via redemptions. The Fund’s net assets will increase and decrease in value as investors purchase and redeem shares from the Fund.
 
7.  Financial Highlights
 
This schedule provides a per-share breakdown of the components that affect the Fund’s NAV for current and past reporting periods as well as total return, asset size, 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/(loss) per share. Following is the per share total of net gains/(losses), realized and unrealized. Per share dividends and distributions to investors are then subtracted to arrive at the NAV per share at the end of the period. The next line reflects the total return for the period. The total return may include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes. As a result, the total return may differ from the total return reflected for individual shareholder transactions. Also included are ratios of expenses and net investment income to average net assets.
 
The Fund’s expenses may be reduced through expense offsets and expense reimbursements. The ratios shown reflect expenses before and after any such offsets and reimbursements.
 
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, fluctuating volume

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.
 
Fixed Income
Janus fixed income 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 & Core
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. Janus core funds seek investments in more stable and predictable companies. Our core funds look for a strategic combination of steady growth and, for certain funds, some degree of income.
 
Mathematical
Our mathematical 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
Our value funds, managed by Perkins (a Janus subsidiary), seek to identify companies with favorable reward to risk characteristics by conducting rigorous downside analysis before determining upside potential.

FUND SNAPSHOT
We seek to generate strong risk-adjusted returns by investing in stocks with high or expanding profitability at attractive valuations. We believe Asian economies and related equity markets are poised for secular growth. Given the world nature of these markets, equity prices may not at all times fully reflect business fundamentals. As such, fundamental research is the foundation of our Asia investment strategy.

PERFORMANCE
 
Janus Asia Equity Fund’s Class I Shares returned 9.43% for the one-year period ended September 30, 2014. The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country Asia ex-Japan Index, returned 8.24%.
 
INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
 
Asian stocks lagged U.S. markets during the period, but performed relatively well compared to the rest of the world. Fourth quarter 2013 and early 2014 saw continued declines prompted by persistent concerns about the region’s slowing economic growth, particularly in China, mounting geopolitical risks in countries such as Russia and Thailand, and potential negative prospects around anticipated Federal Reserve tapering of its stimulative bond-buying program. The latter significantly weakened currencies of countries with account and fiscal deficits, as well as sparked large foreign investor outflows from the region. A positive market rebound began in February and continued through September, leading to strong gains driven by optimism for pro-business election wins in India and Indonesia, stronger emerging market investment inflows and stabilizing signs from China in areas such as manufacturing that indicated that although the world’s second-largest economy has slowed it may be doing so at a controllable pace. The final weeks of the period saw another reversal as a stronger U.S. dollar and likelihood of rising U.S. interest rates brought back unpleasant memories of the 1997 Asian financial crisis for many investors. Asian market fundamentals, however, appear much stronger today, with continued solid prospects for growth.
 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 
Fund outperformance was led by our holdings in China and India, and within consumer discretionary, financials and health care sectors.
 
The top individual contributor was PC Jeweller, a consumer discretionary stock in India. This operator of a jewelry store chain rallied significantly on higher jewelry and gold sales. Consumer spending generally has improved in India following the May elections that propelled Prime Minister Narendra Modi into power. We believe investors also appreciated the company’s discounted valuation as one of the cheapest stocks in India.
 
In China, consumer discretionary stock SAIC Motor was another top individual contributor, benefiting from higher auto sales. While GDP growth is slowing in China, auto sales are growing at double-digit levels. With the economy nearly at full employment, wage growth for blue collar workers is quite strong, which has led to higher car sales. Industry-wide car sales have grown at a double-digit pace for the past three years in China. Despite its gains, SAIC remains one of the cheapest auto stocks in the world, with approximately 30% of its market capitalization represented in cash on its balance sheet.
 
Strides Arcolab in India was also additive to returns, benefiting from the largely positive investment environment following India’s general election. The pharmaceutical company, which is focused on the development and manufacture of niche generic drugs, also received a lift from regulatory re-inspections of its manufacturing plants that prevented import alerts being imposed on its products to the U.S. This also eased investor concerns over withholding cash payments from Mylan, which bought a unit of the company in 2013. Additionally, Strides Arcolab received several product approvals during the period. We sold our position on the stock’s gains.
 
Our information technology, materials and energy holdings weighed the most on relative returns. From a country perspective, our holdings in South Korea weighed the most on performance.
 
The consumer discretionary sector contained our largest individual detractor, Louis XIII Holdings. The company, which is building an ultra-upscale resort and casino in Macau, China, was among other Macau-related gambling

companies that traded lower in the period. Ongoing slowdown in VIP business due to the Chinese government’s two-year anti-corruption drive has weighed on the gaming industry. Longer term, growth trends in Macau should remain strong, in our view. The company’s resort and casino is not due to open until 2016; therefore, we believe these short-term concerns should not affect it.
 
Information technology firm NCSoft was another main individual detractor. One of the largest online gaming developers in South Korea, the company received a much poorer reception to two of its games – Blade and Soul, and Guild Wars 2 – in China than investors expected. Both games had been well received outside of China and were operated by leading companies Tencent and KongZhong, but gamers’ interests faded after initial euphoria. We added to our position on the stock’s weakness based on its strong market position and healthy financial condition. We also anticipate launches of new games, including mobile games, to spur future growth.
 
Youku Tudou also weighed on returns. An Internet television company in China, Youku’s platform enables consumers to search, view and share video content across multiple devices. Based on its large customer base, Youku has one of the most effective advertising platforms in the Chinese market, in our view. With its acquisition of Tudou, the company is gaining significant pricing power, which should give it a long-term advantage on content acquisition. However, increasing competition in the online video space has led to increased content costs for the company. Increased regulation and a lag in the company’s ability to monetize mobile video viewing have also been headwinds.
 
Please see the Derivative Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for a discussion of derivatives used by the Fund.
 
OUTLOOK
 
We think comparisons to today and the late 1990s, when the Asian financial crisis occurred, are misplaced since emerging market fundamentals, especially country balance sheets, are much stronger now. This is particularly true in Asia. In the mid- to late-90s, a lack of domestic savings required the use of foreign capital to support emerging markets. That is no longer the case. China has the biggest U.S. dollar reserves in the world and is an exporter of capital. A U.S. interest rate increase is likely sometime next year and may cause a short-term impact to emerging markets, but it is unlikely to create another crisis.
 
Additionally, in key countries like China, India and Indonesia that are undergoing economic reforms, even 1% lower GDP growth can lead to growing corporate earnings. Stronger earnings growth will result for those companies that are improving their efficiencies and making smart asset allocation decisions. The result would be growth in profitability and a re-rating of a company’s valuation. The main risk we see is a potential hard landing in the key countries in Asia. If a hard landing can be avoided, we expect considerable upside for emerging market and Asian equities.
 
While we pay attention to the macroeconomic environment, our focus remains on stock picking, and identifying companies that can grow their sales while staying focused on operating efficiencies and capital allocation, which should eventually lead to better shareholder returns.
 
Thank you for your investment in Janus Asia Equity Fund.

Janus Asia Equity Fund (unaudited)

 
This Fund has a performance-based management fee that may adjust up or down based on the Fund’s performance.
 
A Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with nondiversification, non-investment grade debt securities, high-yield/high-risk securities, undervalued or overlooked companies, investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest. Additional risks to a Fund may also include, but are not limited to, those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, real estate investment trusts (REITs), derivatives, short sales, commodity-linked investments and companies with relatively small market capitalizations. Each Fund has different risks. Please see a Janus prospectus for more information about risks, Fund holdings and other details.
 
Foreign securities are subject to additional risks including currency fluctuations, political and economic uncertainty, increased volatility and differing financial and information reporting standards, all of which are magnified in emerging markets.
 
Holding a meaningful portion of assets in cash or cash equivalents may negatively affect performance.
 
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.
 
Returns include reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions 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.
 
Ranking is for the share class shown 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.

See Notes to Schedules of Investments and Other Information for index definitions.
 
A Fund’s portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in an index. An 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.

Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (applicable to Class A Shares only); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees; administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement; and other Fund expenses. This 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-months indicated, unless noted otherwise in the table and footnotes below.
 
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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 appropriate column for your share class 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 information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” 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. Additionally, for an analysis of the fees associated with an investment in any share class or other similar funds, please visit www.finra.org/fundanalyzer.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. These fees are fully described in the Fund’s prospectuses. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are 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.

  Expenses Paid During Period are equal to the Net Annualized Expense Ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses in the examples include the effect of applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any. Had such waivers and/or reimbursements not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher. Please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements or the Fund’s prospectuses for more information regarding waivers and/or reimbursements.

PERFORMANCE
 
Janus Emerging Markets Fund’s Class I Shares returned 7.19% for the one-year period ended September 30, 2014. The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, returned 4.30%.
 
INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
 
Emerging markets delivered positive returns in the past 12 months but continued their persistent underperformance relative to developed markets. Fourth quarter 2013 and early 2014 saw continued declines prompted by persistent concerns about the region’s slowing economic growth, particularly in China, mounting geopolitical risks in countries such as Russia and Thailand, and potential negative prospects around anticipated Federal Reserve tapering of its stimulative bond-buying program. The latter significantly weakened currencies of countries with account and fiscal deficits, as well as sparked large foreign investor outflows from the region. In addition, Brazil continued to suffer from a weak economy and investor disappointment over government policies. A positive market rebound began in February and continued to September, leading to strong gains driven by optimism for pro-business election wins in India and Indonesia, stronger investment inflows, and stabilizing signs from China in areas such as manufacturing that indicated that although the world’s second-largest economy has slowed it may be doing so at a controllable pace. The final weeks of the period saw another reversal as a stronger U.S. dollar and likelihood of rising U.S. interest rates brought back unpleasant memories of the 1997 Asian financial crisis for many investors. Emerging market fundamentals, however, appear much stronger today, with continued solid prospects for growth.
 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 
Fund outperformance was led by holdings in China, India and Taiwan. On a sector basis, consumer discretionary, materials and health care holdings contributed the most to relative outperformance.
 
The largest individual contributor was PC Jeweller, a consumer discretionary stock in India and one of the Fund’s Top 5 holdings. This operator of a jewelry store chain rallied significantly on higher jewelry and gold sales. Consumer spending generally has improved in India following the May elections that propelled Prime Minister Narendra Modi into power. We believe investors also appreciated the company’s discounted valuation as one of the cheapest stocks in India.
 
The Fund’s largest holding, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), was another top individual contributor. TSMC is the world’s leading contract manufacturer of semiconductor chips. The stock rose on stronger-than-expected orders during its normally weaker beginning-of-the-year period. As a result, the company raised its first-quarter sales forecast, driven by stronger demand for mobile phones. It also raised its profitability outlook. We continue to appreciate the company’s dominant market position and consider its valuation attractive relative to the strong earnings growth we anticipate.
 
In China, consumer discretionary stock SAIC Motor was also additive to relative returns, benefiting from higher auto sales. While GDP growth is slowing in China, auto sales are growing at double-digit levels. With the economy nearly at full employment, wage growth for blue collar workers is quite strong, which has led to higher car sales. Industry-wide car sales have grown at a double-digit pace for the past three years in China. Despite its gains, SAIC remains one of the cheapest auto stocks in the world, with approximately 30% of its market capitalization represented in cash on its balance sheet.
 
On a country basis, our holdings in South Korea and Brazil, and our small out-of-index position in the UK weighed the most on relative returns. Energy, utilities and industrials were the sectors that detracted the most from relative performance.
 
London Mining, an iron ore company with mines in Sierra Leone, Greenland and Saudi Arabia, was the largest individual detractor. The company suffered from weak iron

ore prices, which left the firm strapped for cash after a series of recent mishaps, as well as the Ebola outbreak in Africa, where it operates mines. We sold the stock. We had favored the UK-based miner for its high grade ore reserves and its market position as a low-cost producer. The company’s balance sheet had always been stretched, but we miscalculated their ability to maneuver this successfully. While fears over falling iron ore prices and the company’s ability to refinance its debt negatively impacted the stock during the period, we felt it was fully discounted. The company had also guided for over a year that they were in discussions with a strategic investor to monetize their lucrative mine and restructure their balance sheet. However, with the sudden announcement in late September that Glencore refused to make a prepayment under the terms of its off take agreement for the Marampa mine, the company essentially found itself strapped for cash. London Mining was positioned as one of the smallest positions in the Fund, commensurate with our risk management process to reflect its higher risk profile.
 
Two other of the Fund’s main individual detractors were Russian related. The first was TCS Group Holding, a financial company that specializes in consumer finance in Russia. The company has a cost-effective business model for identifying creditworthy customers, in our view. TCS reported financial results during the period that topped market estimates. However, its fundamentals were overwhelmed by the Ukraine crisis and by concerns over potential loan losses and funding weakness.
 
The second was Sberbank of Russia, Russia’s largest bank. The stock suffered as a proxy for the broader Russian market, which sold off over the Ukraine crisis. We added to our position. The company’s fundamentals remained strong, as evidenced by higher-than expected growth and profitability in its latest quarter. Also noteworthy was significant deposit growth month over month in March, indicating, perhaps, a flight to quality from smaller banks. Given the environment, Sberbank traded at a significant discount to global peers, which we believe will slowly diminish long term as geopolitical tensions ease.
 
Please see the Derivative Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for a discussion of derivatives used by the Fund.
 
OUTLOOK
 
We think comparisons to today and the late 1990s, when the Asian financial crisis occurred, are misplaced since emerging market fundamentals, especially country balance sheets, are much stronger now. This is particularly true in Asia. In the mid- to late-90s, a lack of domestic savings required the use of foreign capital to support emerging markets. That is no longer the case. China has the biggest U.S. dollar reserves in the world and is an exporter of capital. A U.S. interest rate increase is likely sometime next year and may cause a short-term impact to emerging markets, but it is unlikely to create another crisis.
 
Additionally, in key countries like China, India and Indonesia that are undergoing economic reforms, even 1% lower GDP growth can lead to growing corporate earnings. Stronger earnings growth will result for those companies that are improving their efficiencies and making smart asset allocation decisions. The result would be growth in profitability and a re-rating of a company’s valuation. The main risk we see is a potential hard landing in key countries. If a hard landing can be avoided, we expect considerable upside for emerging market equities.
 
While we pay attention to the macroeconomic environment, our focus remains on stock picking and identifying companies that can grow their sales while staying focused on operating efficiencies and capital allocation, which should eventually lead to better shareholder returns.
 
Thank you for your investment in Janus Emerging Markets Fund.

Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (applicable to Class A Shares only); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees; administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement; and other Fund expenses. This 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-months indicated, unless noted otherwise in the table and footnotes below.
 
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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 appropriate column for your share class 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 information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” 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. Additionally, for an analysis of the fees associated with an investment in any share class or other similar funds, please visit www.finra.org/fundanalyzer.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. These fees are fully described in the Fund’s prospectuses. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are 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.

  Expenses Paid During Period are equal to the Net Annualized Expense Ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses in the examples include the effect of applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any. Had such waivers and/or reimbursements not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher. Please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements or the Fund’s prospectuses for more information regarding waivers and/or reimbursements.

Janus Global Life Sciences Fund (unaudited)

             
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 returned 34.31% over the one-year period ended September 30, 2014, significantly ahead of its primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 19.73%. The Fund also outperformed the MSCI World Health Care Index, the Fund’s secondary benchmark, which returned 24.85% during the period.
 
INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
 
Global health care stocks delivered strong returns in the past 12 months. Biotechnology momentum provided much of the lift, as did pharmaceuticals thanks to an active merger and acquisition (M&A) environment, particularly for specialty pharmaceutical stocks in tax-advantaged transactions. There were also a number of major drug launches in the period which demonstrated strong prescription trends. Additionally, public health exchanges created through the Affordable Care Act became operational, overcoming early website issues. The initial public offering (IPO) market also accelerated. While this rush of equity offerings created sometimes frothy market conditions, it should provide research and development funding for many developmental-stage companies to last for the next few years. Following a significant correction in biotechnology stocks (small caps in particular) in late March and early April, the health care sector rebounded, led once again by biotechnology as well as a reacceleration in M&A activity, spreading from specialty pharmaceuticals to large pharmaceutical companies, medical device makers and biotechnology firms. Investors also took advantage of technical weakness to add to sector positions where fundamentals appeared to remain strong. The period wound down with strong quarterly financial results for leading biotechnology companies and a number of buyouts at significant premiums to spur investor interest in companies addressing high, unmet medical needs. Hospitals and health insurance companies also performed well on stronger earnings, reflecting increased demand as more previously uninsured Americans entered the health care system through the Affordable Care Act.
 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 
The Fund seeks to uncover opportunities that span the life sciences spectrum, including stocks in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, health care service and medical technology arenas. Our bottom-up, fundamental approach utilizes extensive proprietary research in an effort to discover the most compelling investment ideas across the globe. Our primary focus remains on companies that are addressing high, unmet medical needs and those that we believe can make the health care system more efficient.
 
Our significant overweight and holdings in biotechnology helped drive the Fund’s outperformance. Puma Biotechnology led the way after its breast cancer drug, neratinib, showed an impressive benefit in adjuvant breast cancer (treatments given after surgery to increase the chance of long-term disease-free survival) in a late-stage clinical trial. This came after earlier disappointing data from a competitive drug had raised questions about the potential for neratinib. While we continue to see significant prospects for Puma in adjuvant breast cancer, we took some profits after the stock’s strong gains.
 
Also in biotechnology, the Fund’s largest holding, Gilead Sciences, recorded robust gains. An arbitration panel rejected Roche Holding’s patent infringement claims related to Gilead’s key hepatitis C drug, Sovaldi. Since its launch earlier in 2014, the drug has become the largest-selling product in the history of the pharmaceutical industry. We think the launch of a Sovaldi combination pill in the fourth quarter 2014 could be another bellwether for the industry. This combination would provide the first true one-pill, once-a-day treatment for the majority of hepatitis C patients.
 
Our pharmaceutical holdings were the most additive to relative returns, led by Ireland-based Shire, which appreciated significantly during the period after the company agreed to a merger with U.S.-based

pharmaceutical company AbbVie. Although this deal was later called off due to concerns about its tax treatment, we continue to favor Shire for its dominant position in the attention deficit and hyperactivity (ADHD) market, its strong portfolio of drugs for rare diseases, and its underappreciated pipeline. The company’s fundamentals remain solid, as reflected in better-than-expected quarterly earnings and raised guidance for the year.
 
Our largest individual detractor, Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, declined after reporting worse-than-expected earnings and revenue and lowered sales forecasts for the year. Concerns about future competition from another class of cholesterol-lowering drugs as well as the tolerability of its drug, Juxtapid, weighed on the stock. Due to the drug’s increasingly uncertain outlook, we liquidated our position.
 
Stemline Therapeutics, another individual detractor, traded lower due to manufacturing delays for its lead product. The clinical-stage company, which focuses on developing novel oncology therapeutics that target cancer stem cells and tumor bulk, also suffered from profit taking after a strong run earlier in 2014. The company also filed to issue more stock, then pulled the filing after the stock price declined. Although we continue to see significant sales potential for the company’s pipeline products, we decided to sell our small position in favor of other ideas.
 
Repros Therapeutics also weighed on performance, as the stock suffered when an FDA advisory panel suggested that doctors were prescribing testosterone drugs too broadly and advised the agency to limit the use of such drugs to a specific patient population. This could effectively extend the regulatory timelines for FDA approval of new drugs in this category and limit the size of the market. We sold our position in Repros, which is seeking marketing approval of its testosterone replacement drug, Androxal, due to heightened regulatory risks.
 
Please see the Derivative Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for a discussion of derivatives used by the Fund.
 
OUTLOOK
 
We believe stock gains have been driven by fundamental improvements, such as profit growth, innovative drugs advancing, and more insured patients gaining access to health care. However, we do see some areas getting more fully valued, such as some small cap biotechnology companies that have been pulled up by the market. We believe caution is warranted for some of these stocks as product development setbacks could lead to significant share price corrections.
 
Among our major investment themes, we continue to see an acceleration of innovation. Thirty new drugs were approved in the first nine months of 2014, more than all of 2013, and more approvals are expected. Particularly noteworthy during the period were advances in immuno-oncology, an innovative approach to cancer research that seeks to harness the body’s immune system to fight tumor cells. Approval of Merck’s Keytruda in September was a watershed event for this new class of treatments, which could lead to cures for patients with cancers previously considered incurable.
 
Roche Holding’s acquisition of U.S. biotechnology company Intermune in August for over $8 billion showed that M&A activity continues to be a driving force in the sector. Mitigating this somewhat, the U.S. Treasury took steps during the quarter to discourage tax inversions (re-incorporating a company overseas in order to reduce the tax burden on income earned abroad), which could reduce some of the benefits on those types of mergers. However, we believe low interest rates, high cash balances, excess industry capacity and the need for more innovative products should remain drivers of M&A activity.
 
The Affordable Care Act was another major driver for the health industry, as over 10 million previously uninsured Americans obtained health coverage through insurance exchanges or Medicaid expansion over the past year. This should continue to be a significant tailwind for hospital companies, which had been providing essentially free care to the uninsured until the advent of health care reform. In states that embraced an expansion of Medicaid eligibility, we have seen a 50% reduction in utilization by uninsured patients, resulting in improved volumes and profitability for hospitals. Health insurance companies and other health care providers also benefited from increased enrollments. We anticipate another uptick in demand as the second year of enrollment opens on November 15 and continues through February 15.
 
During the period, we realized profits and sold two positions in companies that had been acquired at significant premiums. Our new purchases included a pharmaceutical company with promising prospects for its immuno-oncology therapies, and a biotech company with a potentially viable new drug for hepatitis C, one of the biggest and most attractive markets in the pharmaceutical universe. Both companies fit our theme of investing in companies addressing high, unmet medical needs.

A Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with nondiversification, non-investment grade debt securities, high-yield/high-risk securities, undervalued or overlooked companies, investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest. Additional risks to a Fund may also include, but are not limited to, those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, real estate investment trusts (REITs), derivatives, short sales, commodity-linked investments and companies with relatively small market capitalizations. Each Fund has different risks. Please see a Janus prospectus for more information about risks, Fund holdings and other details.
 
Foreign securities are subject to additional risks including currency fluctuations, political and economic uncertainty, increased volatility and differing financial and information reporting standards, all of which are magnified in emerging markets.
 
High absolute short-term performance is not typical and may not be achieved in the future. Such results should not be the sole basis for evaluating material facts in making an investment decision.

Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (applicable to Class A Shares only); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees; administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement; and other Fund expenses. This 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-months indicated, unless noted otherwise in the table and footnotes below.
 
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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 appropriate column for your share class 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 information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” 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. Additionally, for an analysis of the fees associated with an investment in any share class or other similar funds, please visit www.finra.org/fundanalyzer.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. These fees are fully described in the Fund’s prospectuses. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are 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.

  Expenses Paid During Period are equal to the Net Annualized Expense Ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses in the examples include the effect of applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any. Had such waivers and/or reimbursements not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher. Please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements or the Fund’s prospectuses for more information regarding waivers and/or reimbursements.

Janus Global Research Fund (unaudited)

             
FUND SNAPSHOT
We seek to create a diversified, high-conviction portfolio reflecting the best ideas of the Janus research team.
          Team-Based Approach
Led by Jim Goff,
Director of Research

 
PERFORMANCE
 
Janus Global Research Fund’s Class T Shares returned 12.82% over the one-year period ended September 30, 2014. The Fund’s primary benchmark, the MSCI World Index, returned 12.20%, and its secondary benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index, returned 11.32% during the period.
 
INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
 
Global stocks delivered strong returns during the past 12 months. The period began with moderate gains supported by solid U.S. market performance, even as the Federal Reserve (Fed) announced a gradual reduction in its bond-buying program that would begin in January. Europe benefitted from improving trade, manufacturing and other economic data, while returns from Japan slowed and emerging markets continued to underperform. First quarter 2014 saw additional positive euro-zone growth balanced by continued signs of slowdown in China, weaker Japanese stocks due to lack of economic reform progress and the potential for higher U.S. interest rates earlier than expected – all of which helped to keep global stock gains modest. Investors also doubted emerging markets’ ability to prop up their economies, although decisive central bank actions helped stabilize the region until Russian troops entered Crimea, causing new uncertainty.
 
After recovering from volatility in April due to momentum stock selling pressure and mounting geopolitical tensions, global markets rebounded. Catalysts included the European Central Bank’s interest rate cut and other measures designed to boost inflation and economic growth, as well as stronger credit market confidence in European peripheral countries. Emerging markets also showed notable improvement, led by pro-business election wins in India. As the period drew to a close, geopolitical turmoil in Ukraine and the Middle East more than offset generally positive U.S. economic news, pushing global markets lower. A brief Portugal banking scare and worries over Scotland’s independence vote, which was ultimately defeated, also weighed on investor sentiment, as did renewed concerns about China’s economic prospects. Corporate quarterly earnings, meanwhile, were largely in line with market expectations, and Japan’s economic growth did not fall as much as feared from a consumption tax increase earlier in the year. The Fed also helped markets by pledging to keep interest rates near zero for a “considerable time.”
 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 
Our Fund, which represents the best ideas of our seven global sector teams, employs a bottom-up, fundamental approach to identify what we consider the best global opportunities. Outperformance for the period was led by our industrials, health care and energy holdings.
 
Within industrials, the Fund’s largest holding, Canadian Pacific Railway, was our top individual contributor. The railroad company reported better-than-expected earnings on strong sales growth led by higher grain shipments. Management also increased its share repurchases during the period. We believe a new management team is improving the railroad company’s culture, operational performance and capital allocation decisions.
 
Apple, a top 5 holding, also aided performance on investor anticipation and subsequent announcements of new versions of its popular iPhone, along with an Apple Watch and a mobile payments system. We felt the product announcements demonstrate the company’s continued strength in combining hardware, software and services, which serve as an important differentiator from competitors. In addition, the cross-device integration between all of Apple’s products will continue to strengthen and expand its ecosystem, in our view. Even with recent gains, we still view the stock’s risk/reward profile as attractive.
 
Shire led the strong relative performance of our health care holdings. The Ireland-based specialty pharmaceutical firm rebuffed buyout attempts from U.S.-based AbbVie, citing undervaluation, during the period. We favor Shire for its dominant position in the attention deficit and hyperactivity (ADHD) market as well as its portfolio of drugs for rare diseases.
 
Despite Apple’s strong performance, our technology holdings detracted from relative performance, as did positions in the financials and consumer sectors. The largest individual detractor was consumer stock Whole Foods Market, which declined on disappointing long-term guidance due to increased competitive pressures. We believe the natural and organic foods grocery operator will

continue to gain market share and will be aggressive in acquiring store sites and consumers from competitors to grow long term, but we recognize that effort will also lead to slower earnings growth over the short-to-intermediate term. We are continuing to analyze the competitive environment to assess whether that will restrict the long-term growth we anticipate for Whole Foods.
 
Within financials, Sberbank was another top individual detractor. Russia’s largest bank suffered as a proxy for the broader Russian market, which sold off over the Ukraine crisis. The company’s fundamentals remain strong, as evidenced by higher-than-expected growth and profitability in its latest quarter. Also noteworthy was significant deposit growth month over month in March, indicating, perhaps, a flight to quality from smaller banks. Given the environment, Sberbank traded at a significant discount to global peers, which we believe will slowly diminish long term as geopolitical tensions ease.
 
Volkswagen also weighed on performance. The automaker encountered production issues related to implementing its new shared manufacturing strategy and suffered from a more cautious outlook from management for a European recovery, given rising geopolitical risks. Volkswagen also announced a restructuring program in its European operations, which raised doubts the company would be able to reach operating profit targets for its namesake brand. While the European recovery has not been as smooth as we expected, it is still recovering, in our view. Volkswagen also remains one of the largest and cheapest auto manufacturers in the world and continues to generate strong free cash flow. We also believe the company’s shared production platform will ultimately be successful in reducing costs and improving efficiencies.
 
OUTLOOK
 
Around the world, inflation and interest rates remain low, a mix of conditions that support higher multiples. At the same time, we see subdued economic growth and worry that a sharp change in risk tolerance could mean a contraction in market multiples.
 
In the U.S., it seems that the slow-but-steady recovery is continuing. Recent earnings were generally in line or ahead of expectations, and stocks responded modestly. The years in which companies meeting market expectations meant beating expectations are well behind us as markets have moderated their risk assessments. Most measures of risk suggest that investors have become complacent, but we are watchful. The shift this spring from momentum-based stocks and their subsequent underperformance reminded us how quickly markets penalize those chasing rather than anticipating a trend.
 
The rest of the world is not wholly different, but there are distinctions. In Europe, economic growth will not do as much for earnings as company restructuring. In the third quarter, economic data suggested slower growth, hurting equity prices. We think the Ukrainian situation weighed on sentiment. A new round of stimulus could boost optimism, and a weaker euro could help propel equities. With interest rates low in Europe and price-to-earnings multiples low, Europe holds promise for stock selection.
 
Emerging markets carry more macroeconomic risks, but those could be easing. We are past elections in India and Indonesia (with pro-market outcomes), nearing the presidential selection in Brazil and seeing China settle in at a slower but sustainable growth rate. Correlations between these markets have fallen in the last two years versus the two years before that when macro forces were stronger.
 
With equity markets remaining fairly priced (not expensive but not cheap either) in our view, the key is to find companies that can create value beyond expectations through superior growth or improved operations. Companies that are creating value can help equity portfolios. And, with interest rates low and bond spreads tight to Treasurys, the relative attractiveness of equities remains interesting.
 
Thank you for your investment in Janus Global Research Fund.

Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (applicable to Class A Shares only); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees; administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement; and other Fund expenses. This 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-months indicated, unless noted otherwise in the table and footnotes below.

The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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 appropriate column for your share class 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 information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” 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. Additionally, for an analysis of the fees associated with an investment in any share class or other similar funds, please visit www.finra.org/fundanalyzer.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. These fees are fully described in the Fund’s prospectuses. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are 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.

  Expenses Paid During Period are equal to the Net Annualized Expense Ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses in the examples include the effect of applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any. Had such waivers and/or reimbursements not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher. Please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements or the Fund’s prospectuses for more information regarding waivers and/or reimbursements.

Janus Global Select Fund (unaudited)

             
FUND SNAPSHOT
We believe investing in companies where the market underestimates free-cash-flow growth and using risk efficiently drives excess returns.
          (GEORGE MARIS PHOTO)
George Maris

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
 
For the one-year period ended September 30, 2014, Janus Global Select Fund’s Class T Shares returned 13.46% versus a return of 11.32% for the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index.
 
INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
 
Global stocks delivered strong returns during the past 12 months. The period began with moderate gains supported by solid U.S. market performance, even as the Federal Reserve (Fed) announced a gradual reduction in its bond-buying program that would begin in January. Europe benefitted from improving trade, manufacturing and other economic data, while returns from Japan slowed and emerging markets continued to underperform. First quarter 2014 saw additional positive euro-zone growth balanced by continued signs of slowdown in China, weaker Japanese stocks due to lack of economic reform progress and the potential for higher U.S. interest rates earlier than expected – all of which helped to keep global stock gains modest. Investors also doubted emerging markets’ ability to prop up their economies, although decisive central bank actions helped stabilize the region until Russian troops entered Crimea, causing new uncertainty.
 
After recovering from volatility in April due to momentum stock selling pressure and mounting geopolitical tensions, global markets rebounded. Catalysts included the European Central Bank’s interest rate cut and other measures designed to boost inflation and economic growth, as well as stronger credit market confidence in European peripheral countries. Emerging markets also showed notable improvement, led by pro-business election wins in India. As the period drew to a close, geopolitical turmoil in Ukraine and the Middle East more than offset generally positive U.S. economic news, pushing global markets lower. A brief Portugal banking scare and worries over Scotland’s independence vote, which was ultimately defeated, also weighed on investor sentiment, as did renewed concerns about China’s economic prospects. Corporate quarterly earnings, meanwhile, were largely in line with market expectations, and Japan’s economic growth did not fall as much as feared from a consumption tax increase earlier in the year. The Fed also helped markets by pledging to keep interest rates near zero for a “considerable time.”
 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 
We employ a high-conviction investment approach, which seeks strong risk-adjusted performance over the long term, although we are pleased when the Fund outperforms over shorter periods as it did in this period.
 
Our holdings within the U.S., Canada and the UK drove relative outperformance. On a sector basis, health care, industrials and telecommunication services were the top contributors.
 
Jazz Pharmaceuticals was the largest individual contributor. The specialty pharmaceutical company benefited from strong growth in Erwinaze, one of its key drug franchises, and due to ongoing market enthusiasm for tax-advantaged merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions. Based in Ireland, where taxes are substantially lower than in the U.S., Jazz has benefited from speculation it could be a buyout target from an acquirer seeking a low corporate tax rate. We reduced our position based on the company’s increased valuation and our skepticism over the value the market is ascribing to tax arbitrage strategies.
 
Within industrials, Canadian Pacific Railway was another top individual contributor. The railroad company’s management team continued to drive significant improvement in its operations. Canadian Pacific reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings in April despite difficult winter weather conditions and began a stock repurchase program.
 
Ireland-based Shire was also an additive to relative returns. The specialty pharmaceutical firm rebuffed buyout attempts from U.S.-based AbbVie and Allergan, citing undervaluation, during the period. We favor Shire for its

dominant position in the attention deficit and hyperactivity (ADHD) market as well as its portfolio of drugs for rare diseases.
 
Holdings in Sweden, Cyprus and Greece weighed the most on performance, as did holdings within information technology, consumer discretionary and financials.
 
Online gaming company Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment was the largest individual detractor. The prospect of increased competition in the U.S., where only three states have approved online gaming, weighed on the consumer discretionary stock. The acquisition of PokerStars by a small Canadian company, Amaya, also rattled investors in Bwin.Party. We think those concerns are overdone and remain optimistic that Bwin.Party will maintain a significant market position based on its key partnerships with casinos, its differentiated technology and the company’s critical mass of customers. Additionally, we think a new board chairman and an activist investor on the board could lead to shareholder value creation over the medium term. Finally, we consider the stock meaningfully undervalued.
 
Youku Tudou was another top individual detractor. An Internet television company in China, Youku’s platform enables consumers to search, view and share video content across multiple devices. Based on its large customer base, Youku has one of the most effective advertising platforms in the Chinese market, in our view. With its acquisition of Tudou, the company is gaining significant pricing power, which should give it a long-term advantage on content acquisition. However, increasing competition in the online video space has led to increased content costs for the company. Increased regulation and a lag in the company’s ability to monetize mobile video viewing have also been headwinds.
 
Within information technology, Teradata also weighed on performance. The U.S.-based data warehousing provider suffered from pressures from a lower-cost competitor and a significant slowing in its core market. Based on the competitive threat, we sold our position.

OUTLOOK
 
A period of synchronized global growth has given way to one of diverging economic paths. The U.S., UK and Ireland are showing growth, while other developed countries such as France are stagnating. We are waiting to see where Japan’s economy settles following its consumption tax increase but find few signs of sustainable growth so far. China, meanwhile, is growing but more slowly than earlier this year.
 
Economic growth matters, but for investment returns, business fundamentals and equity valuations are most important. Valuations in the U.S. equity markets are fair and interesting relative to other asset classes, in our view. Underlying fundamentals are also attractive. While some market observers see the economy in a late-stage recovery, we see it as being early, with employment just starting to improve and without significant inflationary pressures. We are anticipating approximately 3% growth in U.S. gross domestic product by the end of the year. We think the U.S. is still a good place to invest.
 
The UK macroeconomic backdrop is also favorable, but we are having some difficulty finding attractively valued companies that meet our investment criteria. The European peripheral countries also had solid growth, but as in the UK, attractive businesses at the right valuations are more difficult to identify. We think Ireland, Spain and Greece are among countries that should perform well going forward. A weaker euro also increases the relative attractiveness of exporters.
 
Similarly, a weaker yen favors Japanese exporters, but our holdings in Japan are based on attractive company fundamentals rather than a positive macroeconomic backdrop. We believe the market is running out of patience for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s reform efforts because he has yet to address some of the key structural issues in Japan’s economy, such as labor, corporate tax and health care.
 
Economic uncertainty can pressure business models but a robust economic picture is not critical to our success. Our investment approach seeks out companies where the market is not properly valuing future cash flows and constructs a portfolio reflecting our stock-picking judgment. Our recent performance is pleasing, but more importantly we remain confident in our long-term approach.
 
Thank you for your investment in Janus Global Select Fund.

Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (applicable to Class A Shares only); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees; administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement; and other Fund expenses. This 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-months indicated, unless noted otherwise in the table and footnotes below.
 
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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 appropriate column for your share class 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 information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” 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. Additionally, for an analysis of the fees associated with an investment in any share class or other similar funds, please visit www.finra.org/fundanalyzer.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. These fees are fully described in the Fund’s prospectuses. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are 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
Our mission is to find companies that benefit from the high pace of change in technology. We believe technology markets are complex, adaptive systems that demonstrate emergent properties and inherently unpredictable changes. We construct a portfolio with special attention to downside risk that seeks to balance resilience and optionality. Combined with deep fundamental industry analysis and thoughtful valuation and scenario analysis, we seek to invest in stocks that have the potential to outperform without relying on difficult predictions about the future.

PERFORMANCE
 
Janus Global Technology Fund’s Class T Shares returned 14.62% over the one-year period ended September 30, 2014. The Fund’s primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, returned 19.73%, and its secondary benchmark, the MSCI World Information Technology Index, returned 24.43% during the period.
 
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
 
Global technology stocks performed well in the past 12 months. The sector led broader indices higher early in the period, driven by strong performance in computer hardware and Internet software, though first quarter gains slowed given a quick early year pullback and subsequent rebound. After a sell-off in some highly valued subsectors in late March and early April, technology stocks rebounded to outperform broader global indices, a trend that continued through period end despite growing volatility. Sector heavyweight Apple’s well-received earnings report and heavily anticipated iPhone 6 launch powered strong hardware subsector returns. Internet software and systems software were other strong performing subgroups as the period wound down, while application software and communications equipment were among areas that lagged. Microsoft, an approximate 8.5% index weighting, led systems software on a strong earnings report. Momentum-driven cloud software companies also performed well. Qualcomm, one of the world’s biggest mobile chipmakers, weighed on the communications equipment subsector due to regulatory issues in China.
 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 
Our attention to downside risks led us to avoid some companies, particularly in cloud computing and software as a service, whose stock prices appeared to have been driven by momentum rather than fundamental factors. We believe our focus on less-volatile stocks than the secondary benchmark’s holdings, and in companies that can benefit from the high pace of change in technology, can provide potentially higher returns longer term.
 
Relative performance in the period suffered as some of the higher-growth companies we owned did not participate in the somewhat narrow and shallow technology rally. The largest index gains tended to be centered on what we consider lower-quality large enterprise IT companies and very high-growth companies – both of which carry higher risk. Meanwhile, our holdings that we consider resilient also lagged. The results did not affect our portfolio construction. Instead, we took advantage of declines in certain companies to add to our positions.
 
Among subsectors, our holdings in Internet software, led lower by ChannelAdvisor and Care.com, weighed significantly on relative performance. Both were among companies that had initial public offerings (IPOs) earlier in the year that declined off their highs as investors weeded out smaller positions in their portfolios.
 
ChannelAdvisor, a software-as-a-service provider for managing retail sales and inventory in various online channels, also suffered from disappointing third quarter guidance and weak customer additions. We added to our position. With retail shifting from store sales to online marketplaces, ChannelAdvisor should benefit from increased demand for its services, in our view. We also added to our position in Care.com, a leading online marketplace for matching families to caregivers. We believe the company is well positioned in a growing market.
 
Other relative detractors included our semiconductor holdings, led lower by ARM Holdings. The UK semiconductor intellectual property licensing firm suffered from concerns over the slowing of the high-end smartphone market, its key market segment. ARM has two other markets it is pursuing, embedded systems and networking, but those are small compared to mobile, so it

is unclear if those areas will be sufficient to pick up the slack. The company also reported results that were in line with market expectations, although its income from royalties was somewhat soft. More importantly, the company’s licensing revenue growth, a leading indicator of future royalties, remained strong. Additionally, we think its royalty income will improve later this year based on production forecasts by semiconductor manufacturers. We believe the company will continue to benefit from growth in smartphones and revenue licensing from semiconductor manufacturers.
 
Among individual contributors, our three largest positions were also the most additive to performance, with our largest holding, Apple, heading the list. Investor anticipation and subsequent announcements of new versions of its popular iPhone, along with an Apple Watch and a mobile payments system, drove the stock higher. We felt the product announcements demonstrate the company’s continued strength in combining hardware, software and services, which serve as an important differentiator from competitors. In addition, the cross-device integration between all of Apple’s products will continue to strengthen and expand its ecosystem, in our view. Despite recent gains, we still view the stock’s risk/reward profile as attractive.
 
Internet search engine leader Google, our second-largest holding, was also a top contributor. The company benefited from better-than-expected quarterly results, with strong year-over-year revenue growth. The company’s transition from desktop to mobile search has continued to exceed market expectations, and there is greater investor appreciation for its powerful platform. We feel the company remains attractively valued relative to the multiyear growth outlook we see for its resilient core search business combined with potential growth drivers around its Android software for mobile devices, YouTube, mobile and enterprise businesses.
 
Microsoft, our third-largest position, also aided performance after the software giant reported adjusted earnings that beat market forecasts, driven by strong subscriptions to Office applications (Office 365) and its Azure cloud-hosting platform. As the company’s cloud-based sales grow to a higher percentage of its total revenue, investors should value the stock higher, in our view. Earlier, the company announced a restructuring plan that would eliminate up to 18,000 jobs over the next year. We believe new CEO Satya Nadella is moving the company in the right direction by de-emphasizing hardware to increase focus on productivity tools and its public and private cloud offerings, which should lead to durable recurring revenues. We also appreciate Nadella’s efforts of combining various development teams to improve efficiencies.

OUTLOOK
 
Promising areas in technology include a potential rebound in enterprise spending, supply chain companies ramping up production for Apple’s iPhone 6 smartphones, and semiconductor companies and electronic component providers that serve the auto and industrial markets.
 
A slowdown in enterprise IT spending that has been evident since the summer of 2012 has begun to reverse in part due to maturation in cloud computing software products or tools that are enabling hybrid clouds, a combination of public clouds (using off-premises servers) and private clouds (on-premises servers). Greater flexibility through hybrid clouds means pent-up decisions by companies’ IT departments are finally being made as evidenced by stabilizing fundamentals in data center-related companies. We now believe the transition to the cloud for many companies could be more rapid than the market currently anticipates.
 
Rather than cutting operating and capital expenditures as they have for several years, IT departments can redeploy resources more efficiently into areas, such as applications that should add value to their respective businesses rather than just to reduce costs. We believe this could be the beginning stages of an enterprise IT spending expansion, not from a total amount perspective but from reallocating from hardware to software now that the architecture on how to use the software is available.
 
Among cloud companies, we are focusing on those that offer platforms that other companies can build onto rather than those that offer single products that could become part of another company’s platform. We added several cloud software companies after recent declines made their valuations more attractive. We also believe Enterprise IT leader Oracle, a Top 5 holding, should have success transitioning its customers to the hybrid cloud. Additionally, we own a company that provides legal, finance and accounting cloud services, a dominant provider in sales and marketing cloud services and a platform provider for smaller companies. All are related to the theme.
 
Besides the cloud, we are also seeing increased consolidation in the IT supply chain, particularly among semiconductor companies. We believe the trend is likely to continue and possibly accelerate due to slowing growth

rates, low interest rates and management teams realizing they need to consolidate. We are invested in supply chain companies we favor for their own dynamics (products, end markets, etc.), but recognize potential buyers could appreciate the same factors and bid the stocks higher than our valuations. We added more supply chain companies to offer more diversification in this area. We like these companies for their own prospects but also believe they could be merger and acquisition targets.
 
In consumer IT, the Internet of Things (IoT) or increasing connectivity of electronic devices continues to be an area gaining considerable attention from companies and investors. We view this as a longer-term investment theme, but Apple’s Watch could significantly accelerate the wearables category or the personal side of IoT.
 
There are also an increasing number of commercial applications, such as gas stations using sensors to monitor fuel levels so refueling trucks can be sent automatically when levels are low. Google, meanwhile, has logged an impressive number of miles with its self-driving cars, with only one accident (a rear-end collision). We think autonomous cars could be a significant IoT application in five to 15 years.
 
With the pace of disruption accelerating, it’s more important than ever to be vigilant and thoughtful about every potential technology investment. In our effort to always become better investors, we like to take a cross-disciplinary approach to thinking.
 
Here is a question you might not have thought about before: what does investing have to do with standup comedy and magic?
 
There are a couple characteristics that all three disciplines have in common. To begin with, all of these fields require a passion for perfection. It requires an enormous amount of dedication and focus to constantly learn and hone the art of investing, delivering a knee-slapping, hilarious standup show, or a mesmerizingly, mind-boggling magic performance. All of these skills require a near obsession in order to transform a passion into an art form. The second thing all three art forms require is presence – the ability to step outside one’s self-centered world and really focus on what matters – a sort of vigilance that is hard to develop, and even harder to perfect. In standup comedy, the comedian must be ever focused on the vibe of the audience, empathically sensing their emotions and reactions in order to work the crowd and involve the audience in the narrative. Magicians must also focus deeply on their subjects and surroundings in order to create a convincing alternative reality. Similarly, investors must be vigilantly focused on every piece of available information in order to construct the proper circumstances for winning long term investments and portfolio construction. All three require an intense observational skill in order to achieve successful performances over and over again.
 
Standup comedy specifically shares an attribute with investing that we call nonlinear thinking. Comedians, at their core, observe human behavior. In fact, many comics consider themselves “observational” performers. They are constantly on the hunt for patterns and correlations that are not obvious to folks as they go through their everyday life. Then, in pointing out a non-obvious connection between two things that initially seem unrelated or glossed over by conventional wisdom, they create a spark – a spark that turns into a big laugh as the audience says to themselves, “That’s so funny because it’s so true!”
 
Investors likewise are always trying to connect nonobvious dots – we use the acronym ABCD for “always be connecting dots.” We see the world as a giant puzzle ready to be solved if only we can discern which pieces fit together. Then, when we connect a few seemingly disparate pieces of information, we find insight which informs our investing. The things a standup comedian points out, and the ideas we connect for investment themes are worlds apart, but when we draw those connections they start to become obvious.
 
Magicians also share a specific attribute with investing – leveraging cognitive bias. Cognitive bias is a term for the way our brains try to trick us. Over time we’ve been wired for simpler worlds – wake up, hunt and gather, secure shelter, and enjoy ourselves. But, the world has become increasingly complex, and our brains have developed impulsive shortcuts that make us believe one thing is true, when in fact something completely different explains the situation. Magicians are the kings at exploiting this misfiring of the brain – they take advantage of vulnerabilities in our ability to accurately perceive the world around us.
 
Likewise, as investors we fall victim to many biases of impulsive or emotional thinking. For example, we anchor on a prior cost basis, or we over-emphasize recent information above more relevant data points. All of these shortcuts work against superior long-term performance. So while magicians exploit bias, investors must remain vigilant to never be fooled by impulsive thinking.
 
This comparison of the three seemingly unrelated fields largely comes back to the idea of presence – the hardest thing we do every day is to simply be in the moment, 100% focused with vigilance and attention. This is an obsession that all great investors, standups and magicians

are constantly perfecting. If a standup isn’t paying attention all the time, they will miss their next great joke opportunity – and if they fail to follow cues from the audience, they will lose the reaction. If a magician fails to pull off a trick leveraging the brain’s built-in biases, the illusion is revealed and the mystery is lost. The standup and the magician lose their audiences if they lose focus, much like the investor loses long-term performance if they fail to connect dots, avoid cognitive bias, and pay attention. Technology investing is a dynamic environment with a rising pace of change – this creates an even higher burden for presence and the ability to connect unrelated dots. Using these methods, we are able to focus on finding the signal in the noise of data points.

Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (applicable to Class A Shares only); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees; administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement; and other Fund expenses. This 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-months indicated, unless noted otherwise in the table and footnotes below.
 
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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 appropriate column for your share class 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 information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” 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. Additionally, for an analysis of the fees associated with an investment in any share class or other similar funds, please visit www.finra.org/fundanalyzer.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. These fees are fully described in the Fund’s prospectuses. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are 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.

  Expenses Paid During Period are equal to the Net Annualized Expense Ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses in the examples include the effect of applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any. Had such waivers and/or reimbursements not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher. Please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements or the Fund’s prospectuses for more information regarding waivers and/or reimbursements.

PERFORMANCE
 
Janus International Equity Fund’s Class I Shares returned 3.54% over the one-year period ended September 30, 2014. The Fund’s primary benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 4.25%, and its secondary benchmark, the MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. Index, returned 4.77% during the period.
 
INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
 
The past 12 months marked a volatile period for international markets. The period began with improving European trade and manufacturing helping to lift indices higher, even as gains in Japan slowed when optimism for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s stimulative policies began to wane. Emerging markets also continued to lag due to struggles with inflation, rising rates, political turmoil and ongoing worries over slowing economic growth. Japan increasingly weighed on developed market returns at the start of 2014, largely over disappointment in difficulty pushing forward structural reform, as well as a stronger yen that pressured stocks. Europe performed relatively better than Asia, reflecting a number of positive recovery signs and notable credit market improvement.
 
Second quarter 2014 was the period’s strongest. Japan rebounded on positive economic signals, and European markets responded favorably to the European Central Bank’s move to negative real interest rates in an effort to combat deflation, weak sentiment and soft manufacturing data. Emerging markets also began to outperform, driven by strengthening currencies and by pro-business election wins in India. However, summer stock declines, most notably in Europe, weighed heavily on indices. European companies grew more cautious in response to China and Brazil economic weakness, as well as escalating geopolitical risk in Ukraine that contributed to a fairly sharp deceleration in the region’s growth. Additionally, there were overhangs such as the Scottish independence vote and the French government’s slim survival from a no-confidence vote. Japan’s market returns were also lower for U.S. investors due to a strengthening dollar relative to the yen. Emerging markets pulled back as well. India’s economy has yet to accelerate under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s reforms, and it will likely take another quarter or two before there is any tangible impact. China’s economy also continued to slow as expected, but we believe that is already discounted in the market.
 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 
Most of the Fund’s relative underperformance came from our holdings in Japan and within the consumer discretionary, energy and consumer staples sectors. Holdings in materials, health care and financials, as well as our out-of-index exposure to the United States, provided the strongest positive contributions to returns.
 
Netherlands-based parcel delivery firm TNT Express was our most significant individual detractor. A slower-than-expected recovery in freight volumes forced the company to implement additional cost cuts following previous restructuring moves, which disappointed investors. We believe the market is underestimating the company’s value in a more normal macroeconomic environment. Its strong balance sheet also provides it with staying power until its profit margins recover, in our view.
 
Sega Sammy was also a large individual detractor. A Japanese maker of pachislot and pachinko machines, the company has been weak since lowering guidance substantially in February based on the expectation it would delay the timing of some key new title launches into next year. Since the pachinko/pachislot business is hit-driven, the delay negatively impacted its earnings outlook for this year. We continue to find the long-term, cash-flow generation of the pachinko/pachislot business attractive, and believe that the market does not accurately value the potential for Sega Sammy’s casino business.
 
Gaming firm Melco International Development also weighed on performance. The company, along with other casino operators in Macau, China, suffered due to a decline in VIP traffic. There was increased scrutiny on junket operators, which provide the casinos with VIP gamblers, after one operator defaulted on its obligations

and absconded with a large sum of money. This led to lowered expectations for the casinos. Melco is less reliant on the VIP business for its earnings, with most of its profits coming from the premium mass market. We took advantage of the stock’s decline to add to our position. We consider Macau an undersupplied market that is benefiting from a rising middle class in China.
 
Shire was the Fund’s largest individual contributor. The specialty pharmaceutical firm in Ireland rebuffed a buyout attempt from U.S.-based AbbVie, citing undervaluation, during the period. We favor Shire for its dominant position in the attention deficit and hyperactivity (ADHD) market as well as its portfolio of drugs for rare diseases.
 
LyondellBasell Industries, one of our materials holdings, was another top individual contributor. The company reported record quarterly earnings in July, with both sales and profits higher than market estimates. The chemicals provider also continued its stock buyback program. Lyondell has been benefiting from low natural gas prices, as a result of high production from North American shale development fields. The company’s expansion efforts also began adding to profitability during its most recent quarter. We feel the market is underestimating earnings and free-cash-flow growth from its expansion efforts.
 
Denmark-based transportation and energy conglomerate AP Moeller-Maersk also aided performance, benefiting after the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission approved an alliance between the world’s top three container shipping firms, including Maersk’s shipping division. The alliance will pool the companies’ ultra-large vessels in an effort to reduce costs in an environment of industry overcapacity. Rather than running only partly full ships, the firms would be able to run larger ships, which are more efficient, fully loaded. Provided Chinese and European regulators approve the arrangement, the alliance will control a high percentage of the world’s ultra-large vessels. We believe the cost savings to Maersk could be more significant than the market believes. Maersk also announced it would sell its noncore grocery business, which is consistent with the firm’s restructuring efforts.
 
Please see the Derivative Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for a discussion of derivatives used by the Fund.
 
OUTLOOK
 
Asian markets, particularly China, have been inexpensive for a while, but the discount recently widened, especially relative to the U.S. We believe as the Chinese economy transitions from an export-led economy to a consumer-led economy, it will be structurally better balanced. While we expect China will continue to slow, the government has demonstrated through liquidity injections it wants to manage its slower growth rate through short-term, more targeted measures as opposed to broader actions, such as a large interest rate cut. We believe the market has discounted its slower growth rate.
 
In Japan, we remain somewhat skeptical of Abe’s reforms, since he has been reluctant to tackle difficult decisions on health care reform to rein in rising expenditures, labor reforms to encourage more employment and deregulation to improve competition. He has agreed to proceed with reforming corporate taxes, but we view that as tinkering around the edges of economic reform, rather than taking the necessary steps for lasting growth. The Fund’s neutral position in Japan reflects the fact we are still identifying great companies in which to invest, while not being optimistic about Abenomics.
 
The European recovery remains fragile, as demonstrated by the third quarter setback, but we think it remains on a path to improvement. As the region’s growth improves, its companies have one of the best outlooks for earnings growth, since their operating margins are widening off a low base. Many companies were quick to adjust to the third quarter dip by cutting costs. In relation to our European Union (EU) banks, we conducted internal stress tests ahead of the asset quality review (AQR) and stress tests due in the fourth quarter. As a result, we are confident our EU bank holdings won’t have to raise additional capital.
 
Thank you for your investment in Janus International Equity Fund.

Janus International Equity Fund (unaudited)

 
This Fund has a performance-based management fee that may adjust up or down based on the Fund’s performance.
 
A Fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with nondiversification, non-investment grade debt securities, high-yield/high-risk securities, undervalued or overlooked companies, investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest. Additional risks to a Fund may also include, but are not limited to, those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, real estate investment trusts (REITs), derivatives, short sales, commodity-linked investments and companies with relatively small market capitalizations. Each Fund has different risks. Please see a Janus prospectus for more information about risks, Fund holdings and other details.
 
Foreign securities are subject to additional risks including currency fluctuations, political and economic uncertainty, increased volatility and differing financial and information reporting standards, all of which are magnified in emerging markets.
 
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.
 
Returns include reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions 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 the predecessor fund into corresponding shares of the Fund. Performance shown for each class for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the historical performance of each corresponding class of the predecessor fund prior to the reorganization, calculated using the fees and expenses of the corresponding class of the predecessor fund respectively, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class D Shares commenced operations on February 16, 2010. Performance shown for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the historical performance of the Fund’s Class I Shares calculated using the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class N Shares commenced operations on May 31, 2012. Performance shown for periods prior to May 31, 2012 reflects the historical performance of the Fund’s Class I Shares, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
Class T Shares commenced operations on July 6, 2009. Performance shown for Class T Shares for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the historical performance of the predecessor fund’s Class I Shares, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class T Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
 
If each share class of the Fund had been available during periods prior to its commencement, the performance shown 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 applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectuses for further details concerning historical performance.
 
Ranking is for the share class shown 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.

Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (applicable to Class A Shares only); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees; administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement; and other Fund expenses. This 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-months indicated, unless noted otherwise in the table and footnotes below.
 
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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 appropriate column for your share class 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 information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” 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. Additionally, for an analysis of the fees associated with an investment in any share class or other similar funds, please visit www.finra.org/fundanalyzer.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. These fees are fully described in the Fund’s prospectuses. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are 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.

  Expenses Paid During Period are equal to the Net Annualized Expense Ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses in the examples include the effect of applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any. Had such waivers and/or reimbursements not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher. Please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements or the Fund’s prospectuses for more information regarding waivers and/or reimbursements.

FUND SNAPSHOT
I believe that company fundamentals drive share prices over the long-term. I use intensive, fundamental research to make high-conviction investments.

PERFORMANCE
 
During the 12-month period ending September 30, 2014, Janus Overseas Fund’s Class T Shares returned 2.98%. Its primary benchmark, the MSCI All-Country World ex-U.S Index returned 4.77%, and its secondary benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 4.25%.
 
Despite the positive absolute return, I am disappointed with the Fund’s one-year performance and especially with the performance of the Fund over the past several years. In my 23 year career at Janus, I’ve learned that holding the course when your stocks are going against you is the hardest thing to do in this business. In a high-conviction portfolio that is very different than its index, where stock picking matters so much, it is especially difficult. But I’ve also learned that if we really have faith in our fundamental company analysis, holding the course is the key to generating strong long-term performance. I am extremely optimistic about the long-term prospects for my Fund for the simple and powerful reason that I believe my stocks have strong long-term prospects and compelling valuations.
 
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
 
I believe that the most important reason for the Fund’s underperformance during the past 12 months was that my opportunistic style of investment has been out of favor. During 2014, the market remained heavily momentum oriented. Companies with near-term visibility of earnings and cash flows, especially with near-term growth, performed extremely well, and in my opinion, rose to very high valuations.
 
Meanwhile, many stocks with a problematic or uncertain near term outlook dramatically underperformed, seemingly independent of extremely low valuations or longer-term growth prospects. Janus Overseas Fund is overwhelmingly invested in companies with attractive long-term growth potential. Many of these holdings, however, are also cyclical businesses that are sensitive to, or perceived to be sensitive to, a slow-growth global economic environment and heightened geopolitical risks.
 
I like situations where fear and short-term noise provide opportunities to own companies with great long-term prospects at compelling valuations. In the long-term, I believe my fundholders will benefit. For example, the Fund has large relative exposure to emerging markets, energy stocks and cyclical companies, all areas that today are out of favor. I don’t try to predict sentiment, however, I have held onto key positions as long as we continue to believe in long-term fundamentals of our companies, and I have bought more out of favor stocks where we believe that the company’s long-term prospects and stock price are extremely disconnected.
 
I believe that, relative to the rest of the market, the valuations of many of our holdings are as attractive, or even more attractive, than during the 2008-09 financial crisis. I also think they are poised to rebound. A modest easing of company specific or macro concerns can result in dramatic rebounds in stocks. For example, during the European sovereign debt crisis of recent years, our European bank rose sharply after the European central bank expressed a strong willingness to control the crisis. Similarly, our U.S. airlines sharply rerated as the companies demonstrated that they could deliver solid earnings and cash flows even in a slow-growth economic environment with high oil prices. And in India, which had been one of the world’s worst performing markets until the past year, soared in anticipation of a new leadership. Investors shifted their focus away from short-term concerns and looked at the longer-term growth potential and valuations of companies.
 
Even in periods of underperformance, I will remain committed to buying stocks which undervalue long-term opportunities because of misplaced shorter-term sentiment.
 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 
Relative to its primary benchmark, the MSCI All-Country World ex-U.S. Index, the Fund’s heavy investments in energy, information technology, and consumer discretionary significantly hurt performance during the

12-month period. On a geographic basis, the Fund’s investments in Russia, Hong Kong, and Canada also negatively impacted performance.
 
Russian bank, Sberbank was the biggest detractor during the period. Despite solid earnings and business fundamentals, our Sberbank position was hit hard by macro fears over the Ukraine crisis and potential Western sanctions against Russia. Although I believed in Sberbank’s dominant franchise and attractive returns, innovative management team, and extremely low stock valuation, I sold the position. The position’s extreme sensitivity to unpredictable geopolitical events in Ukraine changed the investment thesis from one based on fundamentals to one based on tougher, political calculations.
 
Two oil exploration companies, U.S.-based Cobalt International Energy and Canada-based Africa Oil, were the second and third biggest detractors during the period. The sharp decline in oil prices played the more important role in the weak performance of these two stocks, but both companies experienced some modest exploration disappointments. A Cobalt well offshore Angola contained less oil than expected, and Africa Oil didn’t expand its Kenyan oil reserves as much as investors hoped. I believe that both stocks are trading at significant discounts to the values of their discovered resources, and both companies have exciting prospects to be drilled in the coming year.
 
China based internet video provider, Youku Tudou, was the fourth largest detractor during the period. The stock declined as higher external media content purchase costs and increased investment in internally produced content delayed the company’s transition to profitability. With 400 million mobile daily views and Alibaba’s recent purchase of a stake in the company, Youku has the potential to become a powerful online video and media company in China, in my view. I took advantage of stock weakness to add to our position during the period.
 
Currency detracted from the Fund’s absolute performance during the period primarily due to the fall in the European currencies, the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, and Brazilian real. The Fund’s hedge against Japanese yen exposure had a positive impact on performance. For the past few years, I have hedged most of our yen exposure because I felt Japan’s high level of government debt would eventually lead to a weaker yen. Relative to the MSCI All-Country World ex-U.S. Index, currency had a significant positive impact as the Fund was underweight underperforming currencies in Europe, Japan, and Australia.
 
Relative to the MSCI All-Country World ex-U.S. Index, the Fund’s investments in the industrials sector, and geographically, in India, were significant positive contributors to performance.
 
India-based ports, power, and coal trading conglomerate, Adani Enterprises, was the largest positive contributor to performance during the period. Adani Enterprises showed continued strong growth in ports volumes. In addition, the company benefitted from moves by the Indian government to resolve coal availability and power pricing issues as well as from investor optimism about a new investment led growth cycle in India under the Modi administration. I continue to believe that Adani Enterprises has exciting growth potential in all of its core businesses, but I cut the position modestly based on valuation.
 
U.S.-based airline, United Continental, was the second largest positive contributor to performance during the period. Improving operations and merger synergies, as well as continued industry capacity discipline and consolidation allowed United to show improving margins and earnings. The company is also benefitting from the recent sharp decline in jet fuel prices. I believe that the company’s cash flow generation potential is not yet appreciated by the market, but I cut the position modestly based on valuation.
 
In aggregate, derivatives detracted from performance during the period. In addition to the currency hedge on the Japanese yen mentioned earlier, the Fund also selectively utilized swaps during the period. The positive impact of the yen hedge was more than offset by the negative impact of the Fund’s swaps. Reasons for using these instruments included hedging downside risks, achieving market access, and establishing positions more quickly.
 
Please see the Derivatives Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for derivatives used by the Fund.
 
OUTLOOK
 
I too am a shareholder of Janus Overseas Fund, but more importantly, I am a steward of your money. I take my responsibility very seriously. I recognize that you have trusted me and Janus with your hard-earned savings.
 
One learns a lot in a 23-year career but the most important lesson is to believe in the process, even in tough times. After a tough stretch, I am tested but my conviction is not waning. My conviction in the portfolio comes from our team’s tremendous, in-depth fundamental research. Markets obsessed with near-term predictability over long-term opportunity will not last forever. We have tremendous opportunities to buy strong franchises on sale

around the world. As markets once again take a longer- term view and focus more on valuation, and as our companies’ strong long-term growth prospects become more visible, I believe the Fund can once again perform to my expectations and to the expectations of my fundholders.
 
Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Overseas Fund.

Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (applicable to Class A Shares only); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fees; administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement; and other Fund expenses. This 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-months indicated, unless noted otherwise in the table and footnotes below.
 
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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 appropriate column for your share class 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 information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” 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. Additionally, for an analysis of the fees associated with an investment in any share class or other similar funds, please visit www.finra.org/fundanalyzer.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. These fees are fully described in the Fund’s prospectuses. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are 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.

  Expenses Paid During Period are equal to the Net Annualized Expense Ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses in the examples include the effect of applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any. Had such waivers and/or reimbursements not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher. Please refer to the Notes to Financial Statements or the Fund’s prospectuses for more information regarding waivers and/or reimbursements.

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 Asia Equity Fund, Janus Emerging Markets Fund, Janus Global Life Sciences Fund, Janus Global Research Fund, Janus Global Select Fund, Janus Global Technology Fund, Janus International Equity Fund and Janus Overseas 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 financial statements include information for the year ended September 30, 2014. The Trust offers forty-six 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. Class D Shares are available only to investors who hold accounts directly with the Janus funds, to immediate family members or members of the same household of an eligible individual investor, and to existing beneficial owners of sole proprietorships or partnerships that hold accounts directly with the Janus funds.
 
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 N Shares are generally available only to financial intermediaries purchasing on behalf of 401(k) plans, 457 plans, 403(b) plans, Taft-Hartley multi-employer plans, profit-sharing and money purchase pension plans, defined benefit plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans.
 
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, as well as 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.
 
Investment Valuation
Securities held by the Funds are valued in accordance with policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Trustees (the “Valuation Procedures”). Equity securities traded on a domestic securities exchange are generally valued at the closing prices on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If such price is lacking for the trading period immediately preceding the time of determination, such securities are valued at their current bid price. Equity securities that are traded on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the closing prices on such markets. In the event that there is no current trading volume on a particular security in such foreign exchange, the bid price from the primary exchange is generally used to value the security. Securities that are traded on the over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets are generally valued at their closing or latest bid prices as available. Foreign securities and currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate in effect at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Each Fund will determine the market value of individual

Janus Global & International Funds | 131

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

securities held by it by using prices provided by one or more professional pricing services or, as needed, by obtaining market quotations from independent broker-dealers. Certain short-term securities maturing within 60 days or less are valued on an amortized cost basis. 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 that is intended to reflect market value. The evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service is an evaluation that may consider factors such as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings. Securities for which market quotations or evaluated prices are not readily available or deemed unreliable are valued at fair value determined in good faith under the Valuation Procedures. 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 nonvalued security and a restricted or nonpublic security. The Funds use systematic fair valuation models provided by independent third parties to value international equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the close of the NYSE.
 
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 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.
 
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain provisions for indemnification of other parties against certain potential liabilities. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, and would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
 
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 translations.
 
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 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
Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income in accordance with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years, generally a three-year period, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds 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, 2014, Janus Asia Equity Fund, Janus Emerging Markets Fund, Janus Global Select Fund, and Janus Overseas Fund had restricted cash in the amounts of $66,797, $562,018, $1,023,753, and $59,309,451, respectively. The restricted cash represents collateral pledged in relation to derivatives and/or securities with extended settlement dates, as well as investment quota for China A Shares. The carrying value of the restricted cash approximates fair value.
 
Valuation Inputs Summary
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) standard 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 may be 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 may be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy include, but are not limited to, preferred stocks, bank loans, swaps, investments in unregistered investment companies, options, and forward contracts. The Funds use systematic fair valuation models provided by independent third parties to value international equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the close of 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.
 
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, 2014 to value the Funds’ investments in securities and other financial instruments is included in the “Valuation Inputs Summary” in the Notes to Schedules of Investments and Other Information.
 
The Funds did not hold a significant amount of Level 3 securities as of September 30, 2014.
 
The following table shows the amounts of transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the year. The Funds recognize transfers between the levels as of the beginning of the fiscal year.

Financial assets were transferred out of Level 1 to Level 2 since certain foreign equity prices were applied a fair valuation adjustment factor at the end of the current fiscal year and no factor was applied at the end of the prior fiscal year.
 
Financial assets were transferred out of Level 2 to Level 1 as the current market for the securities with quoted prices are considered active.
 
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. Each derivative instrument that was held by one or more of the Funds during the year ended September 30, 2014 is discussed in further detail below. A summary of derivative activity by Fund is reflected in the tables at the end of this section.
 
The Funds may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes (to offset risks associated with an investment, currency exposure, or market conditions), to adjust currency exposure relative to a benchmark index, or for speculative (to earn income and 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 derivative’s cost. The Funds may not use any derivative to gain exposure to an asset or class of assets in which they would be prohibited by their respective investment restrictions from purchasing directly. The Funds’ ability to use derivative instruments may also be limited by tax considerations.
 
Investments in derivatives in general are subject to market 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, as described below.
 
Derivatives may generally be traded OTC or on an exchange. Derivatives traded OTC, such as options and 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 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 (the party on the other side of the transaction) on a derivative transaction will be unable to honor its financial 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.

134 | SEPTEMBER 30, 2014


Table of Contents

 

 
  •  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 net asset value (“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 investing in instruments, including derivatives, where the investment loss can exceed the original amount invested. Certain investments or trading strategies, such as short sales, 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.
 
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
A forward foreign currency exchange contract (“forward currency contract”) is an obligation to buy or sell a specified currency at a future date at a negotiated rate (which may be U.S. dollars or a foreign currency). 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 investments and foreign currency transactions” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
During the year, Janus Emerging Markets Fund, Janus Global Life Sciences Fund, Janus Global Technology Fund, Janus International Equity Fund, and Janus Overseas Fund entered into forward contracts with the obligation to sell foreign currencies in the future at an agreed upon rate in order to decrease exposure to currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated securities held by each Fund.
 
The following table provides average ending monthly currency units on sold forward contracts during the year ended September 30, 2014.

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 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 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

Janus Global & International Funds | 135


Table of Contents

 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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.
 
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 written options contracts” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
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.
 
During the year, Janus Global Select Fund and Janus Global Technology Fund purchased call options on various equity securities for the purpose of increasing exposure to individual equity risk.
 
The following table provides average ending monthly market value amounts on purchased call options during the year ended September 30, 2014.

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 agreements are typically privately negotiated and entered into in the OTC market. However, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) of 2010 now requires certain swap agreements to be cleared through a clearinghouse and traded on an exchange or swap execution facility. Swaps that are required to be cleared are required to post initial and variation margins in accordance with the exchange requirements. New regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act could, among other things, increase the cost of such transactions. 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).
 
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 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.
 
During the year, Janus Asia Equity Fund, Janus Emerging Markets Fund, and Janus Overseas Fund entered into total return swaps on equity securities or indices to increase exposure to equity risk. These total return swaps require each Fund to pay a floating reference interest rate, and an amount equal to the negative price movement of securities or an index multiplied by the notional amount of the contract. Each Fund will receive payments equal to the positive price movement of the same securities or index multiplied by the notional amount of the contract and, in some cases, dividends paid on the securities.

3.  Other Investments and Strategies
 
Additional Investment Risk
The financial crisis that began in 2008 caused a significant decline in the value and liquidity of many securities of issuers worldwide in the equity and fixed-income/credit markets. In response to the crisis, the United States and certain foreign governments, along with the U.S. Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks took steps to support the financial markets. The withdrawal of this support, a failure of measures put in place to respond to the crisis, or investor perception that such efforts were not sufficient each could negatively affect financial markets generally, and the value and liquidity of specific securities. In addition, policy and legislative changes in the United States and in other countries continue to impact many aspects of financial regulation. The effect of these changes on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, including a Fund, may not be fully known for some time. As a result, it may also be unusually difficult to identify both investment risks and opportunities, which could limit or preclude a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Therefore, it is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, and you could lose money.
 
The enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act in July 2010 provided for widespread regulation of financial institutions, consumer financial products and services, broker-dealers, OTC derivatives, investment advisers, credit rating agencies, and mortgage lending, which expands federal oversight in the financial sector, including the investment management industry. Many provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act remain pending and will be implemented through future rulemaking. Therefore, the ultimate impact of the Dodd-Frank Act and the regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act on the Funds and the investment management industry as a whole, is not yet certain.
 
A number of countries in the European Union (“EU”) have experienced severe economic and financial difficulties. As a result, financial markets in the EU have been subject to increased volatility and declines in asset values and liquidity. Responses to these financial problems by European governments, central banks, and others, including austerity measures and reforms, may not work, may result in social unrest, and may limit future growth and economic recovery or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and others of their debt could have additional adverse effects on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world.
 
Certain areas of the world have historically been prone to and economically sensitive to environmental events such as, but not limited to, hurricanes, earthquakes, typhoons, flooding, tidal waves, tsunamis, erupting volcanoes, wildfires or droughts, tornadoes, mudslides, or other weather-related phenomena. Such disasters, and the resulting physical or economic damage, could have a severe and negative impact on a Fund’s investment portfolio and, in the longer term, could impair the ability of issuers in which the Fund invests to conduct their businesses as they would under normal conditions. Adverse weather conditions may also have a particularly significant negative effect on issuers in the agricultural sector and on insurance companies that insure against the impact of natural disasters.
 
China A Shares
The Chinese government may permit a foreign investor to invest in China A Shares as a licensed Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (“QFII”). QFII licenses are granted by the China Securities Regulatory Commission and investment quota is granted by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. Janus Capital has been granted a QFII license and investment quota.
 
People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) regulations require QFIIs to entrust assets held in the PRC and to interact with government agencies through a China-based qualified custodian bank. Assets attributable to clients of Janus Capital will be held by the custodian in foreign exchange accounts and securities accounts in the joint name of Janus Capital and its clients, although the terms of the custody agreement make clear that the contents of the accounts belong to the clients, and not to Janus Capital.
 
During the year ended September 30, 2014, Janus Capital, in its capacity as a QFII, invested in China A Shares on behalf of Janus Asia Equity Fund, Janus Emerging Markets Fund, Janus Global Select Fund, and Janus Overseas Fund. With respect to direct China A Shares investments, as a general matter, any capital invested and profits generated cannot be repatriated for a minimum of one year. Repatriation of any invested capital is subject to approval by the regulator. Additionally, any repatriation of profits would be subject to an audit by a registered accountant in China, and subject to regulatory approval. In light of the foregoing, a Fund’s investment in China A Shares would be subject to the Fund’s limit of investing up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments. Current Chinese tax law is unclear whether capital gains realized on a Fund’s investments in A shares will be subject to tax. Because management believes it is more likely than not that Chinese capital gains tax ultimately will not be imposed, the Funds do not accrue for such taxes.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 
As of September 30, 2014, Janus Asia Equity Fund, Janus Emerging Markets Fund, Janus Global Select Fund, and Janus Overseas Fund have available investment quota of $61,855, $94,693, $1,004,818, and $788,015, respectively. The Funds are subject to certain restrictions and administrative processes relating to its ability to repatriate cash balances and may incur substantial delays in gaining access to its assets.
 
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 with respect to financial assets and liabilities approximates its carrying value. See the “Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” section of this Note for further details.
 
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 balance is 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.
 
Emerging Market Investing
Each Fund may invest in securities of issuers or companies from or with exposure to one or more “developing countries” or “emerging market countries.” Investing in emerging markets may involve certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States and imposes risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks associated with investing in securities of more developed foreign countries. Emerging markets securities are exposed to 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. There is a risk in developing countries that a future economic or political crisis could lead to price controls, forced mergers of companies, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, imposition or enforcement of foreign ownership limits, seizure, nationalization, sanctions or imposition of restrictions by various governmental entities on investment and trading, or creation of government monopolies, any of which may have a detrimental effect on the Funds’ investments. In addition, the Funds’ 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 Funds’ investments. To the extent that a 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. Additionally, foreign and emerging market risks, including but not limited to price controls, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, imposition or enforcement of foreign ownership limits, nationalization, and restrictions on repatriation of assets may be heightened to the extent a Fund invests in Chinese local market securities (also known as “A Shares”).
 
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
The Funds present gross and net information about transactions that are either offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement with a designated counterparty, regardless of whether the transactions are actually offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
 
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and forward foreign currency exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, in the event of a default and/or termination event, a Fund may offset with each counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with

collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. Note that for financial reporting purposes, a Fund does not offset certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and receivables and related collateral on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Deutsche Bank AG acts as securities lending agent and a limited purpose custodian or subcustodian to receive and disburse cash balances and cash collateral, hold short-term investments, hold collateral, and perform other custodian functions. Securities on loan will be continuously secured by collateral which may consist of cash, U.S. Government securities, domestic and foreign short-term debt instruments, letters of credit, time deposits, repurchase agreements, money market mutual funds or other money market accounts, or such other collateral as permitted by the SEC. 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. Upon receipt of cash collateral, Janus Capital currently intends to invest the cash collateral in a cash management vehicle for which Janus Capital serves as investment adviser, Janus Cash Collateral Fund LLC. 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 on this mark-to-market evaluation.
 
A Fund does not exchange collateral on its forward currency contracts with its counterparties; however, a Fund will segregate cash or high-grade securities in an amount at all times equal to or greater than a Fund’s commitment with respect to these contracts. Such segregated assets, if with the Fund’s custodian, are denoted on the accompanying Schedule of Investments and are evaluated daily to ensure their market value equals or exceeds the current market value of a Fund’s corresponding forward currency contracts.
 
A Fund may require the counterparty to pledge securities as collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) if a Fund has a net aggregate unrealized gain on OTC derivative contracts with a particular counterparty. A Fund may deposit cash as collateral with the counterparty and/or custodian daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) if a Fund has a net aggregate unrealized loss on OTC derivative contacts with a particular counterparty. The collateral amounts are subject to minimum exposure requirements and initial margin requirements. Collateral amounts are monitored and subsequently adjusted up or down as valuations fluctuate by at least the minimum exposure requirement. Collateral may reduce the risk of loss.
 
Real Estate Investing
The Funds may invest in equity and debt securities of real estate-related companies. Such companies may include those in the real estate industry or real estate-related industries. These securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, and other equity securities, including, but not limited to, mortgage-backed securities, real estate-backed securities, securities of REITs and similar REIT-like entities. A REIT is a trust that invests in real estate-related projects, such as properties, mortgage loans, and construction loans. REITs are generally categorized as equity, mortgage, or hybrid REITs. A REIT may be listed on an exchange or traded OTC.
 
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
Under procedures adopted by the Trustees, certain Funds may seek to earn additional income by lending securities to qualified parties. Deutsche Bank AG acts as securities lending agent and a limited purpose custodian or subcustodian to receive and disburse cash balances and cash collateral, hold short-term investments, hold collateral, and perform other custodian functions. Each Fund may lend portfolio securities in an amount equal to

142 | SEPTEMBER 30, 2014


Table of Contents

 

up to 1/3 of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination. There is the risk of delay in recovering a loaned security or the risk of loss in collateral rights if the borrower fails financially. In addition, Janus Capital makes efforts to balance the benefits and risks from granting such loans. All loans will be continuously secured by collateral which may consist of cash, U.S. Government securities, domestic and foreign short-term debt instruments, letters of credit, time deposits, repurchase agreements, money market mutual funds or other money market accounts, or such other collateral as permitted by the SEC. If a 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.
 
Upon receipt of cash collateral, Janus Capital may invest it in affiliated or non-affiliated cash management vehicles, whether registered or unregistered entities, as permitted by the 1940 Act and rules promulgated thereunder. Janus Capital currently intends to invest the cash collateral in a cash management vehicle for which Janus Capital serves as investment adviser, Janus Cash Collateral Fund LLC. An investment in Janus Cash Collateral Fund LLC is generally subject to the same risks that shareholders experience when investing in similarly structured vehicles, such as the potential for significant fluctuations in assets as a result of the purchase and redemption activity of the securities lending program, a decline in the value of the collateral, and possible liquidity issues. Such risks may delay the return of the cash collateral and cause a Fund to violate its agreement to return the cash collateral to a borrower in a timely manner. As adviser to the Funds and Janus Cash Collateral Fund LLC, Janus Capital has an inherent conflict of interest as a result of its fiduciary duties to both the Funds and Janus Cash Collateral Fund LLC. Additionally, Janus Capital receives an investment advisory fee of 0.05% for managing Janus Cash Collateral Fund LLC, but it may not receive a fee for managing certain other affiliated cash management vehicles in which the Funds may invest, and therefore may have an incentive to allocate preferred investment opportunities to investment vehicles for which it is receiving a fee.
 
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 on this mark-to-market evaluation.
 
The cash collateral invested by Janus Capital is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the lending agent are included as “Affiliated securities lending income, net” on the Statements of Operations (if applicable).
 
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 accrue 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, disclosed on the Statements of Operations (if applicable), 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 each Fund’s contractual investment advisory fee rate or base fee rate, as applicable (expressed as an annual rate).
 
                     
          Contractual

For Janus Asia Equity Fund, Janus Emerging Markets Fund, Janus Global Research Fund, Janus International Equity Fund, and Janus Overseas 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 Asia Equity Fund
    MSCI All Country Asia ex-Japan Index      
Janus Emerging Markets Fund
    MSCI Emerging Markets IndexSM      
Janus Global Research Fund
    MSCI World IndexSM      
Janus International Equity Fund
    MSCI EAFE® Index      
Janus Overseas Fund
    MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. IndexSM      
 
 
 
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 Funds’ 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. The performance adjusted investment advisory fee rates before any waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses for the year ended September 30, 2014 are below:

Janus Capital Singapore Pte. Limited (“Janus Singapore”) serves as subadviser to Janus Asia Equity Fund. In addition, Janus Singapore serves as subadviser for a portion of Janus Emerging Markets Fund. Janus Singapore provides day-to-day management of the Janus Asia Equity Fund’s portfolio operations and a portion of the investment operations of the Janus Emerging Markets Fund. Janus Singapore is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital. Janus Capital pays Janus Singapore a fee equal to 50% of the advisory fee paid by Janus Asia Equity Fund and one-third of the advisory fee paid by Janus Emerging Markets Fund to Janus Capital (calculated after any applicable performance fee adjustment, fee waivers, and expense reimbursements). The subadvisory fee paid by Janus Capital to Janus Singapore adjusts up or down based on each of Janus Asia Equity Fund’s and Janus Emerging Markets Fund’s performance relative to each Fund’s respective benchmark index over the performance measurement period.
 
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,

144 | SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

but not limited to, recordkeeping, accounting, order processing, and other shareholder services for the Funds.
 
Certain, but not all, intermediaries charge administrative fees to investors in Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares for administrative services provided on behalf of such investors. 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. Consistent with the Transfer Agency Agreement between Janus Services and the Funds, Janus Services may negotiate the level, structure, and/or terms of the administrative fees with intermediaries requiring such fees on behalf of the Funds. Janus Capital and its affiliates benefit from an increase in assets that may result from such relationships.
 
Class D Shares pay an annual administrative services fee of 0.12% of net assets. These administrative services fees are paid by Class D Shares 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, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares of the Funds for providing or procuring administrative services to investors in Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares of the Funds. Janus Services expects to use all or a significant portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial intermediaries for providing these services. 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 Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares of each Fund. Janus Services may keep certain amounts retained for reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs incurred for servicing clients of Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares.
 
Services provided by these financial intermediaries may include, but are not limited to, recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing, providing order confirmations, periodic statements, forwarding prospectuses, shareholder reports, and other materials to existing customers, answering inquiries regarding accounts, and other administrative services. 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 Capital.
 
Janus Services is compensated for its services related to Class D Shares, and receives reimbursement for its out-of-pocket costs on all other share classes. Included in out-of-pocket expenses are the expenses Janus Services incurs for serving as transfer agent and providing servicing to shareholders.
 
Under separate distribution and shareholder servicing plans (each, a “Plan”) adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Funds may pay the Trust’s distributor, Janus Distributors LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, a fee at an annual rate 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. Under the terms of each Plan, the Trust is authorized to make payments to Janus Distributors for remittance to retirement plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial intermediaries, as compensation for distribution and/or shareholder services performed by such entities for their customers who are investors in the Funds. Payments under each 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 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 the difference. Refunds, if any, are included in “Distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees” in the Statements of Operations.
 
Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the advisory fee payable by each Fund listed below or reimburse expenses in an amount equal to the amount, if any, that the Fund’s normal operating expenses in any fiscal year, including the investment advisory fee, but excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, 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, brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, exceed the annual rate shown below. Janus Capital has agreed to continue each waiver until at least February 1, 2015. 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, 2014 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 year ended September 30, 2014 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. Deferred fees of $283,000 were paid by the Trust to a Trustee under the Deferred Plan during the year ended September 30, 2014.
 
Certain officers of the Funds may also be officers and/or directors of Janus Capital. Each Fund indirectly pays for the salaries, fees, and expenses of certain Janus Capital employees and Fund officers, with respect to certain specified administration functions they perform on behalf of the Funds. Administration costs are separate and apart from advisory fees and other expenses paid in connection with the investment advisory services Janus Capital provides to each Fund. Some expenses related to compensation payable to the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer and compliance staff are shared with the Funds. Total compensation of $522,703 was paid to the Chief Compliance Officer and certain compliance staff by the Trust during the year ended September 30, 2014. 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 year ended September 30, 2014, Janus Distributors retained the following upfront sales charges:

A contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) 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. During the year ended September 30, 2014, redeeming shareholders of Class A Shares paid the following CDSCs to Janus Distributors:

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 provisions of the 1940 Act and rules promulgated thereunder, the Funds may participate in an affiliated or nonaffiliated cash sweep program. In the cash sweep program, uninvested cash balances of the Funds may be used to purchase shares of affiliated or nonaffiliated 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 currently 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 year ended September 30, 2014, any recorded distributions from affiliated investments as affiliated dividend income, and affiliated purchases and sales can be found in the Notes to Schedules of Investments and Other Information.

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 have elected to defer post-October losses and qualified late-year losses as noted in the table below. These losses will be deferred for tax purposes and recognized during the next fiscal year.
