Dear Shareholder,

Having served as Janus' Chief Investment Officer for full a year now, it seems an appropriate time to assess the progress we've made for our shareholders over the past 12 months.

Report Card

In my first letter to Janus shareholders last April, I spoke about our collective efforts to expand our coverage of stocks, improve our risk-management discipline and foster additional collaboration between portfolio managers and analysts.

I am pleased to report that we have made significant progress on all three fronts, and would like to share details with you.

First, we hired eight new equity analysts this past year, which brings the total equity analyst team to 36. On the fixed-income side, we hired three new credit analysts. The expanded research staff has enabled Janus to increase its coverage of domestic and international stocks, with the goal of keeping the portfolios fresh with current ideas.

Second, we improved our risk-management oversight by creating the position of Director of Risk Management and Performance, a role recently filled by Daniel Scherman, who brings with him more than 20 years of experience in the investment management industry. While Janus' heritage is built on a willingness to invest with conviction when we believe we have a research edge, adding this additional layer of risk oversight should ensure that exposures, whether intended or not, are properly analyzed.

The third initiative on which we have made progress is enhancing the quality of debate and dialogue within the investment team, which is a critical, yet intangible component of any successful investment management organization. There are multiple venues available for portfolio managers and analysts to come together and discuss or review key stocks in the news or new buy recommendations. The senior analysts that lead the global sector teams play an important part in driving this dialogue with the portfolio managers, resulting in a more robust exchange of ideas.

Also noteworthy is the contribution our team of 12 research associates has made to our overall research effort. Created two years ago, the team continues to make solid contributions by uncovering real-time demand trends in the marketplace in key consumer categories, ranging from travel and lodging to online music and wireless communications.

While we're pleased with our accomplishments to date, these and other initiatives would be irrelevant if there was no concurrent improvement in relative fund performance. In that regard, I am pleased to report a significant improvement in the relative performance of a number of our funds, as described below.

Performance

As of April, 30, 2005, 73% of Janus growth and core funds ranked in Lipper's top two quartiles for the one- and three-year periods, based on total returns. Longer-term relative performance is also impressive, with 100% of our growth and core funds ranking in Lipper's top two quartiles for the life-of-fund periods.

In my opinion, the improvement in relative performance for many of our funds tells me that our research effort continues to set us apart from our peers and that the portfolios are well positioned to outperform in all types of markets. The investment team is working together to ensure that, in its view, the most compelling risk/reward stocks are properly positioned in the portfolios.

New Fund Offerings

We are very excited to bring our investors two new mutual funds, which were launched this past winter: Janus Triton Fund and Janus Research Fund. Janus Triton Fund, managed by Ron Sachs, outpaced its benchmark index since inception (the two-month period ended April 30, 2005). We attribute these results to the success that Ron and team have had uncovering promising investment ideas in the small- and mid-cap growth space.

Continued

Janus Research Fund is a unique collection of the top picks of each analyst at Janus, thereby resulting in a diversified, multicap portfolio of both growth and value stocks. It, too, is backed by a solid research effort, and by focusing on what we believe are the best prospects for the long haul, we hope to deliver Index-beating returns with relatively low risks.

Market Review and Outlook

After hitting 31/2 year highs in early March, equity markets encountered stiff headwinds in late-March and April. Record-high oil prices, sluggish retail sales, falling consumer confidence, and slowing earnings growth all conspired to stymie the markets.

General Motors' announcement in mid-March that it has scaled back its earnings expectations for the remainder of 2005 was a clear sign that higher oil prices and rising interest rates were finally having a negative impact on consumer spending. Subsequent updates by Wal-Mart, Harley-Davidson and IBM provided further confirmation of a slightly softer macroeconomic environment as the second quarter unfolded.

It appears that two opposing opinions have crystallized regarding the near-term outlook for the economy. One camp is forecasting a deceleration in the economy due to the lagging effect of higher energy prices and rising interest rates. This group is projecting that gross domestic product (GDP) growth will slow to 2% in the second half of the year.

The other camp argues that the U.S. economy is better equipped to handle higher energy prices and interest rates when compared to the 1980s, and what we may be witnessing in the current volatile market is the handoff in spending from consumers to businesses.

Taking a step back from the day-to-day noise of the markets, the most likely scenario to unfold will be that the economy continues to grow at an acceptable rate given this stage of the business cycle. While it is reasonable to expect some moderation in economic growth as the business cycle matures, we do not think that GDP growth will decelerate markedly in the second half of the year.

In support of that view, it is important to note that unemployment is declining, business spending is improving, merger and acquisition activity is picking up, jobs are still being created, and corporate earnings generally have been reasonable.

Risks to economic growth are well known – rising energy prices, eroding consumer confidence, job cuts, reduced business spending, and higher interest rates. We believe these concerns will likely remain in the forefront of the market for the near term.

While all investors get impatient with sideways markets, we at Janus believe that the market will always reward superior business models with improving fundamental outlooks. Our job is to identify those companies that are winning in the marketplace and own them in your funds.

Thank you for your confidence and trust.

Sincerely,

Gary Black
President and Chief Investment Officer

Janus Contrarian Fund, Janus Overseas Fund, Janus Global Technology Fund and Janus Orion Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets which may lead to greater price volatility.

A fund's performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with non-diversification, investments in foreign securities, non-investment grade debt securities, undervalued companies or companies with a relatively small market capitalization. Please see a Janus prospectus for more detailed information.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

Growth and value investing each have their own unique risks and potential for rewards, and may not be suitable for all investors. A growth investing strategy typically carries a higher risk of loss and a higher potential for reward than a value investing strategy. A growth investing strategy emphasizes capital appreciation; a value investing strategy emphasizes investments in companies believed to be undervalued.

Useful Information About Your Fund Report

Portfolio Manager Commentaries

The portfolio manager commentaries in this report include valuable insight from the portfolio managers as well as statistical information to help you understand how your fund's performance and characteristics stack up against those of comparable indices.

Please keep in mind that the opinions expressed by the portfolio managers in their commentaries are just that: opinions. The commentary is a reflection of the portfolio manager's best judgment at the time this report was compiled, which was April 30, 2005. As the investing environment changes, so could the portfolio managers' opinions. These views are unique to each manager and aren't necessarily shared by their fellow employees or by Janus in general.

Fund Expenses

We believe it's important for our shareholders to have a clear understanding of fund expenses and the impact they have on investment return.

The following is important information regarding each Fund's Expense Example, which appears in each Fund's Portfolio Manager Commentary within this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for each Fund.

Example

As a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs such as redemption fees (where applicable) (and any related exchange fees) and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six-month period from November 1, 2004 to April 30, 2005 for all Funds except Janus Triton Fund which is based on the period February 25, 2005 to April 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table in each example provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table in each example provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. This 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.

Janus Capital Management LLC ("Janus Capital") has contractually agreed to waive Janus Triton Fund's total operating expenses, excluding brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses to certain limits until at least March 1, 2006. Expenses in the example reflect the application of this waiver. Had the waiver not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher. More information regarding the waiver is available in the Funds' Prospectuses.

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

Performance Overview

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, Janus Fund gained 1.54%, outpacing the Russell 1000® Growth Index's return of 1.14%. The Fund's secondary benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, returned 3.28% for the same time period. Investor sentiment shifted dramatically during the period, with confidence surging in the latter months of 2004 following the presidential election and then waning as concerns over interest rates, inflation, and rising commodity prices took hold in 2005. The environment was also challenging for us in that growth stocks continued to lag value stocks for the period.

We owe our outperformance of the Russell 1000® Growth Index to a range of factors, including strong stock selection across market sectors. Performance within the food and staples retailing, technology hardware and equipment, and retailing sectors was particularly strong. Conversely, the Fund's larger position than the Index in the weaker-performing semiconductor group held back our results during the period.

Strategy in This Environment

Over the past six months, we continued to perform in-depth, bottom-up research in pursuit of those leading growth companies we believe are taking market share from their peers and investing/deploying their profits wisely. We also took measures to reduce the Fund's risk profile by further diversifying assets across holdings – a strategy that worked to our advantage in a volatile period. Additionally, we continued to invest in new ideas that represent our expanded analyst team's best ideas. The result has been improved performance – a trend that we will be working to uphold as the year continues.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, the Fund was 94.4% invested in equities, with foreign stocks accounting for 17.2% of our net assets. The Fund's top 10 equity holdings represented 35.7% of its total net assets and we held a cash position of 5.5%.

Strong Performance from Select Holdings in Media, Healthcare, and Aerospace and Defense

Our strongest contribution during the semiannual period came from media leader Comcast, the nation's largest cable operator. We view Comcast as a defensive growth utility that is taking share away from competing single-service media companies. Throughout the semiannual period, Comcast benefited from its past investment in a high-speed, two-way plant, and consumers are finding additional value in Comcast's video, data and telephony services. Its digital video business continues to bring in new customers at a strong rate due to the growth of high-definition TV, digital video recorders and video-on-demand products. In March alone, Comcast's video-on-demand product, On Demand, registered 100 million viewings (or about 12 per digital cable household). Meanwhile, cable modem subscribers keep growing even as DSL pricing is falling, proving that cable is a speed- and service-differentiated product. We are also excited that while Comcast continues to invest in its own internal growth, the company is returning cash to shareholders via stock repurchases as well.

Other high-performing holdings could be found in healthcare. Our team identified a number of companies that provided 30-percent-plus upside during the period, including Alcon, Caremark, Patterson Dental, UnitedHealthcare, and Celgene. Although some clouds over the pharmaceutical industry remained, we were pleased with the Fund's outperformance in healthcare. Another noteworthy contributor was drugstore chain Walgreen Co., which is classified as a retail stock but in many ways is a

healthcare play. During the period, Walgreen benefited from an increase in prescriptions – a potential effect of the aging baby boomer demographic.

The Fund's outperformance can also be traced to our exposure to Boeing and other aerospace and defense names. In the case of Boeing, some investors were distracted by negative press regarding a competitor's new double-decker plane and issues surrounding senior management turnover at Boeing; however, we stayed focused on the fundamentals – namely orders for Boeing's 737 and 777 models, new business wins for producing the 787, and improving margins for all three of the company's main divisions. Our confidence was rewarded with strong performance from Boeing for the semiannual period.

Technology Names Detract

Our relative performance was hampered by some of the Fund's technology holdings. For example, semiconductor names Maxim Integrated Products and Linear Technology Company lagged other technology companies, despite their lower valuations and long-term potential for growth. Although I've trimmed our positions in both, Maxim and Linear have been defensible franchises that generate solid cash flow, which they're using to repurchase stock and increase their dividend payouts.

Other detractors were online auction house eBay and system networking giant Cisco Systems. In a sense, eBay was a victim of its own success in 2004. eBay's earnings and accomplishments were so stellar last year that it's been difficult to match investors' expectations in 2005. However, we believe eBay's business model is still sound. Turning to Cisco, performance was off potentially due to sluggish enterprise spending over the past six months. On the positive side, Cisco continues to aggressively repurchase its own stock, thereby shrinking the number of outstanding shares. This tactic typically helps companies succeed over time; with this in mind, we are willing to exercise patience with regard to Cisco.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

Looking ahead, we are optimistic about opportunities in the large-cap growth arena. Valuations for many high-quality names are at attractive levels, and at some point we believe we'll see an increase in companies' spending on new and better technology. In addition, we're confident that investors will be looking to redistribute assets into the fundamentally strong companies that we favor.

Thank you for your investment with Janus.

Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Call 1-800-525-3713 or visit www.janus.com for performance current to the most recent month-end.

See Notes to Schedules of Investments for index definitions.

Fund Expenses

The example below shows you the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and allows you to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. Please refer to page 4 for a detailed explanation of the information presented in these charts.

Expense Example   Beginning Account Value
(11/1/04)
  Ending Account Value
(4/30/05)
  Expenses Paid During Period
(11/1/04-4/30/05)*
 
Actual   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,015.40     $ 4.45    
Hypothetical
(5% return before expenses)
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,020.38     $ 4.46    

 

*Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.89%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

See "Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements."

The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the index. The index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

Lipper Inc. - A Reuters Company, is a nationally recognized organization that ranks the performance of mutual funds within a universe of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested.

Effective February 25, 2005, Janus Fund changed its primary benchmark from S&P 500® Index to the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The new primary benchmark will provide a more appropriate comparison to the Fund's investment style. The Russell 1000® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Fund will retain the S&P 500® Index as a secondary index.

10 Janus Growth Funds April 30, 2005



Janus Enterprise Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This growth fund pursues companies that have grown large enough to be well established but are small enough to still have room to grow.

Jonathan Coleman

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

During the six months ended April 30, 2005, as mid-cap stocks modestly outpaced large-cap names, Janus Enterprise Fund advanced 3.53%. Meanwhile, the Fund's benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, returned 4.07%. The Fund's secondary benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400 Index, returned 5.68% for the same time period.

Contributing to the Fund's underperformance versus its benchmark were select holdings in the consumer durables and apparel industry, as well as the media sector, which experienced setbacks during the period. Bolstering the Fund's performance, however, was a smaller position than the Index in the technology hardware and equipment industry, which, as a group, turned in weak results during the period. The Fund's relative results were also boosted by the strong performance of a number of stock picks within the energy sector.

Strategy in This Environment

The broader market experienced positive and negative swings as investors focused on stubbornly high oil prices and the health of consumer spending. To cushion the moves, we adhered to a diversified strategy, spreading our investments across a broad spectrum of companies in many industries. Regardless of where a company is located or what its business is, we employ a consistent investment thesis that we hope will be more fully recognized by the market over time through an improving stock price. In short, we are looking for companies we believe have exciting growth opportunities, predictable revenue streams, expanding profit margins, and disciplined management of balance sheets.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, the Fund was 97.9% invested in equities. The Fund's 10 largest equity positions represented 22.9% of its total net assets and we held 2.1% in cash.

Select Energy, Computer and Healthcare Stocks Fueled Gains

Reviewing the leading positive contributors, broad strength in the energy markets helped elevate two oil and natural gas exploration and production holdings – EOG Resources and Murphy Oil. EOG has a substantial ownership stake in the large Barnett Shale field in Texas, while Murphy has built an impressive portfolio of oil production sites ranging from North America to Malaysia. Clearly, both stocks have been helped by the underlying trends in energy prices and will be exposed to any drops, but we've long been attracted to each company's continued development potential regardless of the commodity markets.

Technology concern Apple Computer continued on an iPod-driven roll, accentuated by smaller, lower-priced versions of the digital music device. We also started to see evidence that Apple's personal computer sales are indeed benefiting from a carry-over effect among some iPod consumers who may have newly discovered the company's other products.

Health plan operator Coventry Health Care also rose, reflecting a growing confidence that it can effectively integrate First Health Group, a fee-for-service plan it announced it was acquiring in late 2004. Having had time to analyze what Coventry purchased and assess the potential cost savings, we believe the deal may prove more beneficial than originally hoped.

Beleaguered Biotech, Auto Component and Semiconductor Holdings Weighed on Returns

A pair of unexpected events undermined performance from the biotechnology portion of the Fund. Neurocrine Biosciences fell as a technical glitch forced to re-file a Food and Drug Administration application for its promising insomnia drug Indiplon. The oversight pushed a potential release date back by at least six months, which gives a competing treatment that's just being rolled out additional time to enjoy first-mover status. While we are frustrated with the delay, we believe Neurocrine, along with its marketing partner Pfizer, will ultimately carve out a strong market position for Indiplon.

We also experienced disappointing performance from Pharmion Corp, a biotech company with a focus on oncology treatments. Pharmion declined significantly in the period as investors became concerned with the growth of Vidaza, Pharmion's approved product which targets myelodysplastic syndrome. We trimmed the position late in the period as we became less certain of Vidaza's future growth.

Auto component supplier Harman International declined significantly during the period after delivering strong performance in the past. Investors became concerned with increased competition in Harman's lucrative navigation and infotainment segment. We believe navigation and infotainment penetration will continue in automobiles and that Harman is poised to benefit from that increased adoption. We trimmed the position during the period at prices we felt reflected fair value for the stock.

Elsewhere, semiconductor chip maker Advanced Micro Devices ("AMD") also disappointed, as its flash memory division suffered amid the industry's over-capacity issues and deteriorating pricing power. AMD showed its commitment to focusing on its core processor business in April when it announced that it was spinning off its flash memory division. We believe the core processor business could be undervalued as it has recently gained market share against industry behemoth Intel.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

Given the underlying pressures of elevated oil prices and increasing interest rates, the market may be range-bound during the next couple of quarters. Furthermore, considering the outperformance of small- and mid-cap stocks over the past five or so years, a rotation back into large-cap stocks could affect demand for smaller issues. At the same time, value stocks have outperformed growth names, and that cycle could be ready to shift as well. Regardless of the larger trends, we'll continue to invest in a wide array of industries in an effort to reduce the Fund's downside risk while maintaining exposure to an assortment of stocks we believe have the potential for price appreciation.

Thank you for your investment in Janus Enterprise Fund.

16 Janus Growth Funds April 30, 2005



Janus Mercury Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This diversified growth fund typically pursues larger companies believed to be well-positioned for future growth.

David Corkins

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

Over the course of the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, investors' optimism, stemming from a quick resolution to the U.S. presidential election, diminished in the wake of steeper energy prices and higher interest rates. Amid the resulting downward pressure on stocks, Janus Mercury Fund posted a 3.48% gain, topping the 1.14% return generated by its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The Fund's secondary benchmark, the S&P 500®, returned 3.28% for the same time period.

The Fund's outperformance versus its benchmark is largely due to our research team's ability to uncover a diverse group of opportunities in a variety of different market sectors.

Strategy in This Environment

During a period characterized by economic uncertainty and market volatility, one of my goals in managing the Fund remained finding good investment opportunities across many different areas of the market. What's more, I remain confident in the current mix of companies held in the Fund, as our rigorous, research-driven investing process suggests the market will ultimately recognize their value.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, equities accounted for 94.6% of the Fund's total net assets, including 20.6% of total net assets in foreign holdings. The Fund's 10 largest equity holdings represented 30.3% of its total net assets and a cash position comprised 5.4% of total net assets.

Strong Performers Found in Media, Biotech and Manufacturing Sectors

Generally, I'll commit about a quarter of the Fund's resources to so-called "fallen-growth" names – former growth companies that are either restructuring or refocusing their businesses. By definition, these stocks require considerable patience, but can generate significant rewards. An example is Liberty Media, which was among the Fund's strongest positive contributors to performance. The media conglomerate, which owns stakes in hot cable properties such as News Corp., QVC and Starz Encore, long proved too difficult to value due to its myriad assets and ownership structures. The stock got a lift late in the period when management announced plans to spin off Ascent Media and 50% of Discovery Communications. Liberty remains committed to creating value for its shareholders by continuing to focus on its core businesses. Because of this we are confident the company will continue to reward us in the future.

While one quarter of the Fund is invested in "fallen-growth" names, the remaining three quarters of the Fund is typically invested in more traditional growth names. One such example is biopharmaceutical firm Celgene, another strong contributor for the period. Its stock moved ahead in January on news that the company's fourth-quarter profits more than doubled due to increased sales of Thalomid, a treatment used to help heal skin lesions caused by leprosy and more recently approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma, a common cancer of the blood. An added bounce occurred after Celgene disclosed that its new drug Revlimid, another multiple myeloma therapy, exceeded expectations in Phase III clinical trials.

Likewise, Starwood Hotels & Resorts rallied as supply constraints in the hotel sector, in combination with the increased demand from foreigners traveling to the United States and an improving economy, had led to an imbalance and allowed operators to raise prices. We are pleased to see that Starwood's 700-plus hotels, operated under several brand names including St. Regis, Sheraton and Westin, are benefiting from the increasingly higher room rates that these factors have created.

Additionally, diversified manufacturer American Standard performed well. Best known for its bathroom and kitchen fixtures, the company also produces air conditioning equipment and vehicle control systems. A stock we view as a "later-cycle" play, or a name that performs favorably when the economy is well into a recovery, American Standard's significant exposure to the commercial real estate market positions it well to continue to benefit in a healthy economy.

Pullback in Consumer Interests Weighed, as did Drug Sector Disappointment

It's worth noting that we haven't found anything fundamentally wrong with the Fund's laggards. Rather, certain holdings that were recent strong contributors to the Fund's performance experienced pullbacks while the market focused on shorter-term issues.

Most notably, high-end audio and automobile navigation system developer Harman International Industries dropped following a lengthy run of outperformance. Competitive pressures increased, which unsettled some observers, but we believe the firmly entrenched market leader is well equipped to endure this rocky stretch. Helping provide reassurance was management's recent decision to restart a stock repurchase plan. Online auctioneer eBay also dropped from its 2004 peak as questions over slowing domestic growth arose. The company's international prospects appear bright, however, which reinforce our long-term mindset.

Elsewhere, drugmaker Forest Laboratories faltered in the wake of a Food and Drug Administration decision to deny the company's application to market its flagship Lexapro treatment for social anxiety disorder and panic disorder. We reduced our position in the stock but continue to believe in its long-term prospects.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

Although data on the economy remains mixed, the environment for investing is generally positive. The job market, the biggest drag on economic growth until recently, continued to pick up, and the unemployment rate stabilized at 5.2%. Meanwhile, although soaring gas prices dented their confidence, Americans continued to spend freely on new cars and homes, taking advantage of special auto financing and mortgage interest rates that had yet to feel the effects of the Fed's persistent increase in short-term interest rates. We believe it is important to remain diligent and cautious, specifically with regard to rising interest rates and their impact on consumer spending, widely regarded as the engine of economic growth. As always, my team and I will comb every corner of the market for companies that we believe can further enhance diversification as they help us achieve an optimal balance between risk and reward.

Thank you for your investment in Janus Mercury Fund.

Janus Growth Funds April 30, 2005 21



Janus Olympus Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This growth fund invests in what we believe are the #1 or #2 market leaders in their respective industries.

Claire Young

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

Janus Olympus Fund gained 2.51% for six months ended April 30, 2005, versus its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which returned 1.14%. The Fund's secondary benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, returned 3.28% for the same time period.

Portfolio Positioning in a Challenging Economic Environment

Over the past six months, the U.S. economy saw a number of gyrations. Gross domestic product ("GDP") in the fourth quarter of 2004 was much better than expected, but GDP in the first quarter of 2005 was weaker than forecasted. Oil prices fluctuated widely, hitting a peak of $57 in February before declining more recently. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates over a series of meetings; however, bond and mortgage rates remained stubbornly low. The consumer continued to surprise skeptics by spending heartily on new homes, cars, and other goods despite higher gasoline prices and tepid job growth; while corporate America was stingy in capital outlays.

Given the continued lack of corporate capital spending, weak job creation, and potential negative impact higher interest rates may have on the economy, my strategy over the past six months was to increase portfolio exposure to growth companies that are less reliant upon the economy and away from more cyclical, industrial stocks. For example, healthcare, which had been approximately 20% of the Fund's total assets at the beginning of the period, comprised over 30% of total assets by the end of the period. In looking at the strongest positive contributors to performance, 9 out of 10 stocks were in areas that were generally less economically sensitive.

Strong Performers Include Health-Related and Financial Services Companies

As the heaviest weighting within our portfolio, I was quite pleased with the performance of several healthcare stocks in the period. Genentech, a bio-technology firm with a focus on cancer products, led our list of winners during the period. The company completed several studies with favorable outcomes, including the use of Avastin for extending survival among patients inflicted with non-small cell lung cancer and Herceptin in the adjuvant breast cancer setting. We believe these drugs will provide long-term growth of revenue and profits, while enabling Genentech to reinvest in research for future therapies. Roche Holdings, a Swiss pharmaceutical company which owns 56% of Genentech, was also among our top performers, as it holds the European and Japanese distribution rights to these drugs.

Elsewhere in healthcare, UnitedHealth Group continued to have a positive impact on the Fund. The company capitalizes on the increasing utilization of healthcare and corporate America's desire to share more healthcare costs with its employees. Pricing has been strong for managed care as increases have been passed on in the form of higher copays and tiered drug pricing, while underlying costs have been very tightly controlled. Finally, we anticipate that UnitedHealth's merger with Oxford Health Plans should enable UnitedHealth to gain a market-leading position in New England and cut costs as the company's call centers and information systems are consolidated.

In another take on healthy living, Whole Foods Markets, the leading organic and natural foods retailer, continued to be one of the most exciting and best-performing investments in the Fund. The company is refining its store model to a larger format with unique fresh food offerings that generate excitement and intense loyalty among its customers. These new stores are generating more sales per square foot than the smaller stores and are providing better-than-expected same-store sales as they mature. With

only 168 stores nationwide, I believe Whole Foods has tremendous growth potential over the next several years as the company penetrates new markets and continues to invest in existing locations.

In the financial services sector, two holdings were among our top ten contributors. Deutsche Boerse, a European electronic trading platform, announced its intent to purchase the London Stock Exchange. While the transaction subsequently failed to be approved by shareholders, the merger served as a catalyst for senior management to re-evaluate its capital structure and redeploy its substantial cash position to shareholders. Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME"), another electronic trading platform – this time for options and futures contracts – was also a winner. The company brings together buyers and sellers to trade products in interest rates, stock indexes, foreign exchange and commodities. Due to the volatility of the financial and commodity markets, CME experienced strong volume increases as investors sought to hedge their exposures.

A Series of Unfortunate Events and Competitive Fears Detract From the Fund's Results

Healthcare stocks, while important to positive results, also provided disappointment during the period. The largest performance detractor was Elan Plc. The biopharmaceutical firm's shares plunged after the company announced it was withdrawing Tysabri, a multiple sclerosis drug, from the market after two patients taking the drug succumbed to a rare brain infection. We had estimated the drug's potential to be over $2 billion prior to this event, but elected to liquidate the position as the investment thesis for Elan disappeared.

Another biopharmaceutical company, Neurocrine Biosciences, also negatively impacted the Fund over the past six months. Neurocrine has a unique drug compound for insomnia, Indiplon, which was submitted to the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for approval in October. In December, the FDA refused the application due to electronic formatting issues, causing a six-month delay in the approval process as the company had to resubmit the application. As we still believe in the potential of Indiplon as a non-addictive insomnia solution for sleep initiation, middle-of-the-night dosing, and sleep maintenance, we are maintaining a stake in the company.

Competitive fears in two different industries also hurt our performance. High-end stereo and infotainment equipment maker Harman International Industries declined on news that Mercedes-Benz had awarded a car-systems contract to a competitor. Also, reports of weak U.S. automobile sales weighed on the shares. McAfee Inc., an anti-virus and security software vendor, suffered when Microsoft announced a series of acquisitions and new product introductions aimed at the company's offerings.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

Looking ahead, in my opinion the economy is being pressured by several factors: Corporate profits may be under pressure due to rising interest rates and raw material costs; record consumer debt levels and high gasoline prices may finally take a toll on consumer spending; and tepid economic news from Europe and Japan could crimp U.S. export demand. In this environment, I expect to see the market gravitate toward companies that provide strong earnings despite these headwinds, so the Fund remains invested predominantly in stocks that we believe can grow organically and return shareholder value through intelligent capital allocation.

Thank you for your confidence and investment in Janus Olympus Fund.

26 Janus Growth Funds April 30, 2005



Janus Orion Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This focused growth fund invests in a small number of well-researched companies, hand-picked for their upside potential.

Ron Sachs

portfolio manager

For the six months ended April 30, 2005, Janus Orion Fund gained 8.16% compared to a 0.87% return for its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Growth Index. The Fund's secondary benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, returned 3.28% for the same time period.

Investment Strategy in This Environment

The six months ended April 30, 2005, were a tale of two markets. After surging in late 2004, equity markets have struggled throughout 2005. Investor concerns shifted from inflation to slowing worldwide growth to fears that risks are underpriced. I share all those concerns, but have been able to find a number of businesses that I believe will be able to grow and prosper in any economic environment. The Fund's positive performance in this period shows the benefits of a disciplined focus on great businesses at good valuations.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, the Fund was 96.3% invested in equities with foreign stocks accounting for 28.9% of the holdings. The Fund's top 10 equity holdings represented 42.3% of its total net assets and we held 3.7% in cash.

Standout Performers Included Materials and Biotechnology Stocks

Positive contributors during the period include Companhia Siderurgica Nacional ("CSN"), one of the lowest-cost steel producers in the world. In addition to the strong commodity backdrop driven by renewed growth in the U.S. economy and continued strength in China, CSN shares have been rewarded by investors for the imminent revenues and earnings from CSN's expansion of its Casa de Pedra mine. Customers have already been committing to long-term contracts to access output from this mine expansion, giving the market confidence that the forecasted returns from this project are highly likely to be delivered. We maintain a position in CSN, as we believe the market continues to underestimate the importance of the company's low-cost position in both iron ore and finished steel.

Molson was another strong contributor during the period, as managements of both Molson and Coors were forced by investors to raise the price paid to Molson shareholders in order to win approval for their proposed merger. We sold our stock of the merged company, as we were primarily interested in owning Molson for its strong duopoly position in the Canadian beer market and do not think the combined companies were as attractive an investment.

Another strong contributor was Celgene, a biopharmaceutical company with an exciting new anti-cancer compound, Revlimid, which should drive strong sales and margin growth on approval. The company's existing Thalomid anti-cancer franchise looks secure as the necessary precautions to prevent misuse of the drug make it unlikely that generic competitors will be able to seize share from Thalomid.

Select Media, Pharmaceutical and Financial Services Companies Lost Ground

Univision Communications was the biggest disappointment during the period. In late 2004, Univision informed the market that sales of scatter advertising inventory for the fourth quarter of 2004 were below expectations. We continue to believe in the

power of Univision's dominant position in Spanish-language television and radio broadcasting and believe strong secular growth in its market will drive earnings and the stock.

Another detractor from performance during the period was OSI Pharmaceuticals. This company's stock has been hit on concerns that its promising cancer drugs may not achieve the sales some investors expected. We agreed with that assessment and sold the stock.

CapitalSource, a high-service, high-margin lender to businesses in a variety of attractive niches was another disappointment during the period. Investors are concerned about the potential for increasing loan losses based on specific and general reserves taken by the company. We, too, are concerned by the increased reserves, but believe CapitalSource has adequate collateral against the specific loans at issue and think the valuation of the company has become especially compelling.

We took advantage of the weak markets to build a position in two leading technology companies – Cisco Systems and Corning. Both businesses are characterized by powerful franchises that deliver rich margins and strong returns on capital. We believe Cisco will be the beneficiary of both a recovery in corporate networking spending, where it has leading market share and that are increasing market share in telecom network spending. Corning is the leader in a number of difficult materials sciences that are critical to fast-growing technologies, such as flat-panel displays and clean-burning diesel engines.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

Going forward, I will continue to work to deliver strong risk-adjusted performance for the Fund's shareholders. I believe the recent weak period for the markets has opened up opportunities to buy great businesses at attractive prices.

Thank you for your investment.

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

The Fund is classified as "nondiversified," meaning it has the ability to take larger positions in a smaller number of issuers than a fund that is classified as "diversified." Nondiversified funds may experience greater price volatility.

Concentration may lead to greater price volatility.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

This Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets which may lead to greater price volatility.

Lipper Inc. - A Reuters Company, is a nationally recognized organization that ranks the performance of mutual funds within a universe of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested.

Effective February 25, 2005, Janus Orion Fund changed its primary benchmark from the S&P 500® Index to the Russell 3000® Growth Index. The new primary benchmark will provide a more appropriate comparison to the Fund's investment style. The Russell 3000® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000® Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000® Growth or the Russell 2000® Growth indices. The Fund will retain the S&P 500® Index as a secondary index.

Janus Growth Funds April 30, 2005 31



Janus Triton Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

A unique growth fund that focuses on small- and mid-sized companies believed to have solid growth potential.

Ron Sachs

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

In the first two months since its inception on February 25, 2005, Janus Triton Fund lost 4.00%, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2500TM Growth Index, which declined 8.55% over the same time period. Waiting for attractive entry points in our stock picks has benefited the Fund's early relative performance.

Investment Strategy

I would like to take this opportunity to review the investment strategy of the Fund and then briefly discuss individual holdings that contributed to and detracted from its performance since its inception on February 25, 2005.

Janus Triton Fund invests in small- to mid-capitalization growth companies. Smaller-cap growth stocks have many attractive attributes – two of which I find most compelling. First, they are often businesses in the early stages of a long growth cycle with rapid growth opportunities ahead. Second, there are many smaller-cap companies that are either not followed or under-followed by Wall Street research firms or other institutional investors. For these reasons, I believe Janus' research advantage is very strong in the smaller-cap arena. Our in-depth research capabilities allow us to identify and invest in what we believe are the best small businesses at highly attractive valuations.

The Fund's strategy is to find good businesses at good prices and exercise prudent risk controls to maximize risk-adjusted returns in all market environments. My definition of a good business is one that has strong franchises, high barriers to entry and pricing power. I believe good businesses also have sizable growth opportunities ahead that can be achieved with attractive returns on capital. That also means businesses where managers are aligned with shareholders.

Good growth businesses are often highly priced by the market. I aim to buy these good, fast-growing businesses at attractive prices so that the potential upside opportunity far outweighs the potential downside risk. My valuations are derived from the free cash flow left for owners after the companies reinvest to protect and grow their businesses.

I believe risk management is very important, especially with a smaller-company focus. Smaller-cap stocks are often more volatile than large-cap stocks – both because of the narrower scope of their businesses and because these stocks often have little institutional support when businesses miss expectations. I attempt to manage risk by investing only when the risk-reward tradeoff for owning a stock is highly in our favor. We further manage risk by working to gain a better understanding of our investments than the rest of the market. Position sizes are based on the risk-reward opportunity for each stock. Portfolio construction will limit exposure to specific sectors of the market to minimize the risks to the Fund from macroeconomic dislocations.

Finally, I understand that the same risk-reward analysis that governs the purchase of individual stocks also drives the sale of stocks. I will trim or sell a stock when the risk-reward tradeoff is no longer skewed in our favor. Factors that can change the risk-reward tradeoff of a stock include stock price movements, changes in the fundamentals of the company or industry or a refined understanding of the business on our part.

companies in their industries showed that they shared our belief that these strong franchises were undervalued by the market by offering significant premiums to acquire these businesses.

Detractors from performance included Deckers Outdoor, which missed earnings expectations as a result of disappointing sales of its Teva brand sandals. We believed strength in orders for some of Deckers' other products would make up for any disappointments in Teva sandals. Unfortunately, we were wrong and subsequently sold our holdings.

Thank you for your investment with Janus. I look forward to reporting strong results in the future.

Expenses include the effect of contractual waivers by Janus Capital.

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

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

Funds that emphasize investments in smaller companies may experience greater price volatility. 

This Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets which may lead to greater price volatility.

Due to recent market volatility, certain funds may have an increased position in cash for temporary defensive purposes.

Janus Twenty Fund (unaudited) (closed to new investors)

Fund Snapshot

This focused growth fund invests in a concentrated portfolio of 20-30 companies, including well-known market leaders whose products and services consumers may use more of every day.

Scott Schoelzel

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, Janus Twenty Fund returned 4.09% while its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, returned 1.14%. The Fund's secondary benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, returned 3.28% for the same time period. According to Lipper, Inc., Janus Twenty Fund is once again in the top 5% of all Large-Cap Growth funds for both the trailing one- and three-year periods, based on total returns. The Fund's total expenses have also remained in check, as its turnover rate and trading costs remain among the lowest in the industry. Fund expenses totaled 0.87% (as of April 30, 2005), which compares favorably to our industry peers, which average over 1.48% (as of April 30, 2005).

Detractors

Although we continued to outperform the averages, our returns during this last 6 months were hampered by the sharp sell-off of eBay's stock.

In late January, eBay surprised us with its announcement to spend an incremental $100 million dollars on three business initiatives. These include increasing its marketing expenditures in its more mature U.S. and German businesses; spending more aggressively on its developing business in China; and spending more on the development of its online bill paying unit, PayPal. Ebay's surprise announcement led to a very sharp sell-off of the company's shares. The shares lost nearly 20% of their value in one day and continued to drift lower in the ensuing 4 to 6 weeks. The impact on the Fund's returns would have been more pronounced had we not begun to reduce our position before eBay announced its increased spending plans. By year-end 2004, we had begun to reduce our position in eBay at prices that, in retrospect, were very close to all-time trading highs. Although it was not my intention at the time to sell the entire position, I certainly would have liked to have sold more stock at these higher levels. Subsequent to eBay's spending announcement, we did sell some additional shares and feel the position is appropriately sized in the Fund. We continue to believe eBay has a very bright future and we will be monitoring the results stemming from its announced spending plans and other business initiatives.

Top Performers

The Fund's performance continued to benefit from our investments in UnitedHealth, Genentech, Roche Holdings and Electronic Arts. In my annual letter to you just six months ago, I discussed our investment thesis for UnitedHealth, Genentech and Roche in some detail. I would like to do the same for Electronic Arts here.

Our position in Electronic Arts (EA) was one of the larger contributors to the Fund's improving performance this past six months. We are excited about the continuing prospects for our investment in the electronic gaming industry but are mindful that EA and the entire electronic gaming industry are on the verge of a once-every-5-year phenomenon called the "hardware console upgrade cycle." In plain English this means that the industry and consumers are beginning to transition from the existing gaming consoles, Microsoft's Xbox and Sony's Playstation 2, to the next generation of gaming devices, Microsoft Xbox "360" and Sony Playstation 3. Historically, this type of transition never quite goes according to the industry's script and that's been the case this time, too. Oddly, it's never any one thing that causes the industry to go into convulsions during these transitional times. Invariably, it's some combination of a hardware

delay caused by some key part being in short supply or an unexpected slowdown in sales of existing games in anticipation of new-generation games that leads to unanticipated pricing cuts. This is on top of the somewhat serendipitous nature of the development of hit games to begin with. It's really quite an industry. Despite these unruly variables, the long-term gaming trends and corresponding demographics are undeniably strong and continue to grow globally – and EA stands at the nexus of the gaming industry. While EA is poised to release games that we believe will be the biggest hits on both Xbox 360 as well as Sony's PSP and Playstation 3 platforms, it is not immune from the transitional issues in the industry. Like eBay, we continue to be impressed with the basic underlying trends in EA's business and have sized the position in the Fund accordingly.

One of the significant changes in the Fund's composition during these past six months has been our increased investment in energy. As most long-term investors in Janus Twenty Fund may remember, we had significant exposure to energy via our investment in Exxon beginning in early 2002 and continuing through late 2003, when we sold the position. In retrospect, this was not our best sale, as 2004 was a great year for these stocks. Nevertheless, many of the macroeconomic drivers we identified in this industry in the early 2000s but were a bit too impatient to fully capitalize on are still in place today. Simply put, world oil demand, driven by solid global growth, particularly from some of the more rapidly developing economies (Asia, specifically China together with India), is rapidly catching up with the world's oil complex's ability to supply that demand, and prices have risen accordingly. The key question is "where do we go from here?" There is no doubt that excess capacity will be developed, and the price of the commodity should ease from near-$60 levels. And, I am not one of the industry's alarmists saying that the world's oil production capacity is peaking - far from it. But I do think that, at the margin, demand will be strong and the companies in the "oil complex" generally will be more judicicious about their use of shareholder capital, returning excess cash to shareholders via either increased dividends or share buy backs when development alternatives cannot be economically found. Despite our best financial, political and economic analysis of the situation, I was struck by the tag line of a recent conversation with a 40-year veteran of the oil industry (a non-Wall Streeter) when he told me "You know, Scott, they just ain't finding it the way they used to."

Janus Twenty Fund – just as it has since 1999 – remains closed to new investors, as I believe keeping it closed is currently in the best interest of the Fund's existing shareholders. I genuinely appreciate your continued investment in the Fund and hope that you have continued to make periodic investments along the way, just like me. We are invested in some tremendous companies and take tremendous pride in the Fund's improved performance.

Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Twenty Fund.

Janus Growth Funds April 30, 2005 39



Janus Venture Fund (unaudited) (closed to new investors)

Fund Snapshot

This growth fund focuses on small companies, where there's less Wall Street coverage and more opportunity for a research edge.

Will Bales

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

In early 2005, small-capitalization stocks stepped back from 2004's dizzying close. A correction frequently follows a rapid move like that experienced by small-caps in the final weeks of the year, so we were not entirely surprised by the sell-off. Against this backdrop, Janus Venture Fund returned 1.53% for the six months ended April 30, 2005, outpacing its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index, which declined 1.98%, and also outperforming the broader Russell 2000® Index, which lost 0.15%.

The Fund's gains over its benchmark are largely a result of strong stock selection within the real estate and the commercial services and supplies sectors, two groups to which we have more exposure than the index. Keeping our gains in check, however, was the weak short-term performance of a number of our stock-picks within the healthcare equipment and services group as well as the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, the Fund was 100% invested in equities, with foreign stocks accounting for 9.8% of net total assets. The Fund's 10 largest equity holdings represented 25.5% of its total net assets.

The Fund's Strongest Gainers Included Real Estate and Energy Companies

Sustaining a rally that started shortly after it went public in 2004, commercial real estate concern CB Richard Ellis Group added significantly to the Fund's gains during the period. A well-established company that handles everything from brokering real estate deals to building management, it has benefited from an improving economy. Interestingly, CB Richard Ellis went public during a particularly weak market, but we've certainly been rewarded for getting in early after we determined that it was a good company with a great management team.

Another top performer was Western Oil Sands of Canada. The company owns a 20% stake in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project, where crude oil is extracted from sands mined from a tar pit in northern Alberta. It's a costly process, but as long as oil prices remain above $30 a barrel, Western should be able to continue operating in a profitable fashion. Given the outlook for worldwide oil demand levels partly due to the industrialization of China and India, we believe we've seen the end of cheap oil and that Western Oil Sands will therefore continue to benefit from its ownership in the Oil Sands Project.

Detractors Included Healthcare and Software holdings

One of the Fund's detractors during the period was drug inventory control system developer Omnicell. Having designed a bedside cabinet that uses barcode technology to distribute drugs and supplies to patients and meets the latest government standards for record-keeping, the company has a promising future. Omnicell found itself forcing through sales in the closing weeks of recent quarters and absorbing margin-eroding costs in order to attempt to meet its previously stated targets. Management recently reset current expectations which should help it get back on track and help our position in this stock.

We're similarly monitoring Transact Technologies, which manufactures point-of-sale printers for retail businesses and ticket-in/ticket-out machines for slot machines. The stock suffered as a result of a dramatic slowdown in the gaming-related business due to casino consolidation. However, we expect volumes to pick back up after the consolidation wave subsides and purchasing budgets loosen up again, and therefore believe Transact Technologies should continue to be held by the Fund.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

After the market's sizeable two-year run-up in small-cap stocks, 2005 is turning out to be challenging. I think it's fair to assume flatter returns going forward, especially in light of the strong rally small caps enjoyed at the close of 2004. That said, I remain optimistic about the outlook for the Fund, given our focus on names in which we have high conviction and expect to perform over the long-term. Despite a volatile market environment, I believe that by investing in under-followed companies that feature strong fundamentals and have room to grow, we're maximizing the Fund's potential for positive long-term returns.

Thank you for your conintued investment in Janus Venture Fund.

Fund Expenses

The example below shows you the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and allows you to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. Please refer to page 4 for a detailed explanation of the information presented in these charts.

Expense Example   Beginning Account Value
(11/1/04)
  Ending Account Value
(4/30/05)
  Expenses Paid During Period
(11/1/04-4/30/05)*
 
Actual   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,015.30     $ 4.40    
Hypothetical
(5% return before expenses)
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,020.43     $ 4.41    

 

*Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.88%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

See "Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements."

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

Funds that emphasize investments in smaller companies may experience greater price volatility.

The Fund has been significantly impacted, either positively or negatively, by investing in initial public offerings ("IPOs").

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

Lipper Inc. - A Reuters Company, is a nationally recognized organization that ranks the performance of mutual funds within a universe of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested.

Effective February 25, 2005, Janus Venture Fund changed its primary benchmark from the Russell 2000® Index to the Russell 2000® Growth Index. The new primary benchmark will provide a more appropriate comparison to the fund's investment style. The Fund will retain the Russell 2000® Index as a secondary index.

Janus Global Life Sciences Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This fund seeks companies around the world that are dedicated to improving the quality of life for a growing and aging world.

Thomas Malley

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

During the six months ended April 30, 2005, equity investors watched a bold post-election rally weaken amid rising interest rates and surging oil prices. Similarly, distinct sectors within the life sciences space alternately rose and fell in response to a series of developments, contributing to a 8.64% gain for Janus Global Life Sciences Fund. This compares to a 3.28% return posted by the S&P 500® Index, the Fund's primary benchmark, and an 11.22% gain posted by the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Health Care Index, the Fund's secondary benchmark.

A significantly larger investment than the S&P 500® Index in the strong-performing healthcare equipment and services sector helped the Fund pull ahead of the Index during the period. Also contributing to results was the Fund's lack of exposure to the technology hardware and equipment group, which was an area of weakness in both the market and the Index. Meanwhile, drug safety issues weighed dramatically on returns from the pharmaceutical sector. The Fund's stake in large drugmakers was significantly larger than that of the Index and therefore held back our relative results. Also detracting from the Fund's performance was its lack of exposure to energy stocks. This group had a strong showing during the period, therefore, the Fund missed out on gains from which the Index benefited.

Strategy in This Environment

Early in the period, life sciences investors were encouraged by the results of the presidential election, as they generally view George W. Bush as friendly toward healthcare companies. However, drug safety worries quickly cooled much of the post-election optimism. Economic uncertainties also prompted exits from riskier names and led to increased interest in conservative holdings within the services arena. Against this backdrop, I continued to base my investment decisions primarily on the fundamentals and prospects of companies across the life sciences spectrum. Regardless of macro conditions, I believe well-run companies developing innovative products, treatments and services have the potential to generate strong returns.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, the Fund was 97.5% invested in equities, including a 16.5% share in foreign stocks. Meanwhile, the Fund's 10 largest equity holdings accounted for 29.5% of its total net assets and cash holdings represented 2.5% of total net assets.

HMOs, Hospitals and Pharmacy Benefit Managers Helped the Fund's Returns

Many of the life science stocks that outperformed during the period were concentrated in the service space. The Fund's leaders included health insurer Aetna, which continued to report solid volumes, improved pricing and better-than-expected margins. Similar factors boosted health maintenance organization ("HMO") operator UnitedHealth Group, a consistently strong and steady performer, and Coventry Health Care. Coventry, which oversees a collection of HMOs, also benefited from Wall Street's growing comfort with its acquisition of First Health Group. The deal, which was announced in late 2004 and closed in January, stirred doubts that Coventry's management team could apply its turnaround skills to First Health, a fee-for-service administrator focused on business accounts. But the worries subsided relatively quickly and the stock recovered nicely.

Posting robust returns was the hospital group, where the trend on bad debts – fees for services that go unpaid due to a patient's lack of insurance and inability to otherwise pay – appears to be taking a turn for the better after an extended negative stretch. To

capitalize on the improving fundamentals, we invested in LifePoint Hospitals, which is on the verge of closing on its purchase of another rural facilities operator Province Healthcare, and enjoyed an immediate return.

Elsewhere, the anticipation of a larger Medicare drug benefit, one of the President's healthcare priorities, bolstered pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) Caremark Rx. Along with the potential policy boost, we are pleased to see the company aggressively pursuing and winning new contracts to generate future growth.

Weak Performers Included Select Biotech and Pharmaceutical Companies

Topping our list of poor performers was Elan. The company's removal of the multiple sclerosis drug Tysabri from the market in February sparked significant safety concerns and effectively raised the risk premium across the biotechnology space. Like many investors, the Elan development caught us by surprise and weighed heavily on returns. Previously prescribed independently, Tysabri was quickly withdrawn after it allegedly contributed to the death of a patient in an experimental trial when used in combination with another drug, Avonex. As the incident clearly altered the company's prospects, we liquidated our stake.

Another holding that detracted from the Fund's results was Pharmion, a biotech outfit that focuses on cancer treatments. Pharmion's stock sagged when some analysts expressed caution over management's decision to increase research and development expenditures and pare back profit estimates. Potential competition for its Vidaza drug for myelodysplastic syndromes, a bone marrow disease that can cause cancer, also looms as an unknown. We therefore trimmed our position and are monitoring developments closely.

Ligand Pharmaceuticals also turned in disappointing results. The company announced ineffective Phase III trial results for its Targretin lung cancer treatment and revealed that it is being audited for accounting issues. Despite the setbacks, we believe the company is worth more than its current valuation, so we maintained our stake.

Chief among the languishing blue chip drugmakers was Pfizer, which struggled in the face of data allegedly tying its pain reliever Celebrex to an increased risk of heart disease. Although the issue looks somewhat similar to the series of events that prompted Merck & Co. to pull its Vioxx treatment from the market, Pfizer has, to date, only decided to modify its marketing and labeling of Celebrex. Prescription levels fell rapidly, however, which will cut into revenues. Meanwhile, ongoing litigation is challenging Pfizer's patent on its $9 billion cholesterol drug Lipitor. Considering the unknowns behind both situations, we liquidated our position.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

Ultimately, we believe that success in the life sciences space hinges on the ability to remain nimble while anticipating upcoming market turns. We strive to maintain a 12-month investment horizon, but sometimes even that fails to catch short-term swings – as evidenced by recent developments in the pharmaceutical and the biotech portions of the Fund.

Looking ahead, if interest rates continue climbing, the balance of 2005 will likely prove rough. Potentially compounding issues, Medicare will likely start to experience a squeeze from the large federal deficit and the increasing popularity of consumer-directed health plans could start to alter the health insurance landscape.

Regardless of the broader developments, we remain zeroed in on company-level developments and fundamental analysis while making our investment decisions.

Thank you for your investment in Janus Global Life Sciences Fund.

The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the index. The index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

The Fund emphasizes investments in certain industry groups, which may react similarly to market developments (resulting in greater price volatility), and may have significant exposure to foreign markets (which include risks such as currency fluctuation and political uncertainty).

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

A 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 3 months or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.

Janus Global Technology Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This fund pursues forward-thinking companies around the globe that are advancing the frontiers of technology in profitable ways.

Mike Lu

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

For the six months ended April 30, 2005, Janus Global Technology Fund declined 0.82%. This compares to a 3.28% return posted by the S&P 500® Index, the Fund's benchmark, and a 3.31% loss by the Morgan Stanley Capital International World ("MSCI") Information Technology IndexSM.

The Fund outperformed the MSCI World Information Technology IndexSM due to individual stock selection. However, the divergence in performance between the Fund and the S&P 500® Index can be explained by the Fund's significant exposure to technology-related stocks compared to the more broad-based Index. In particular, the Fund's three largest areas of investment during the six months were technology hardware and equipment, semiconductors and semiconductor equipment, and software and services. While our investments in tech hardware and equipment boosted our relative performance, our positions in semiconductor- and software-related stocks caused us to lag the S&P 500® Index.

Investment Strategy in This Environment

As 2005 kicked off, there were few compelling, broad-based technology deployment trends. In such an uncertain environment, our end-demand driven, bottom-up analysis of individual stocks takes on greater importance as it enabled us to spot less obvious, but significant, secular drivers. The intense focus on end-demand also afforded us greater conviction levels in our holdings as well as our approach to valuation.

As a result, we trimmed a number of stocks where we felt valuations fairly reflected near-term fundamentals and market expectations. For example, we trimmed our exposure to e-commerce leaders Amazon.com and eBay as they breached our interim price targets. As has happened many times in emerging technologies, investor sentiment swung from extreme pessimism to extreme optimism and back again based on prevailing short-term perceptions, sending stock prices on a volatile ride. We were fortunate to have abided by our valuation discipline and trimmed our holdings significantly in both names prior to sharp declines late in the period.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, the Fund was 98.9% invested in equities, including a 45.2% share in foreign stocks. Meanwhile, the Fund's 10 largest equity holdings accounted for 34.8% of its total net assets and cash holdings represented 0.3% of total net assets. Foreign equities have been a significant part of the Fund since its inception – as we're firm believers that technology innovations and quality management teams are no longer confined by geographic borders.

E-Commerce and Telecommunications Holdings Held Back the Fund's Results

Setbacks during the period included online auctioneer eBay. Along with other e-commerce stocks, eBay's share price has dropped significantly due to a reduced earnings outlook. Its near-term profitability was hurt by the decision to increase research and development spending. By ratcheting up such expenditures, eBay is attempting to secure longer-term competitive advantages while sacrificing near-term profit growth. Given the firm's past record of strong software and business process innovations, we believe that such spending will help enhance eBay's long-term positioning in the still-developing e-commerce space. While we trimmed a large part of our position in eBay earlier in the period based on valuation discipline, we decided to maintain our remaining position in light of eBay's reduced valuation and its potential to further extend its long-term franchise.

Another e-commerce name that was hit hard by the ebb and flow of investor sentiment is Yahoo! We remain committed to the stock because we believe the online advertising market is still in the early stages of development. Currently, Internet advertising accounts for a very small portion of advertising expenditures in the United States, while feedback from leading advertisers indicate that they have awakened to the power of the medium. We believe that Yahoo! is particularly well-positioned to capitalize on that growth given its dominant mindshare and breadth of available online advertising venues. In addition, ad rates for Internet advertisers remain well below those paid to traditional print and broadcast media in spite of the fact that online advertising, if executed correctly, can be far more targeted and has better reach than traditional forms of advertising.

Elsewhere, telecommunications vendor Alcatel turned in weak results during this period. The confluence of digital subscriber line ("DSL") adoption slowdown and intensifying global competition caused market sentiment to turn negative on Alcatel. Alcatel's DSL weakness can largely be attributed to the restructuring of the telecom industry in China. As China's wireline operators undergo asset swaps and ownership changes, various capital projects – among them new investments in broadband access – are being deferred to a later period. Consequently, we believe DSL deployment slowdown should be a temporary phenomenon with growth resuming in future quarters. While we remain positive on the strength of Alcatel's intellectual property positions, particularly in the broadband infrastructure and access environments, we are keeping a watchful eye over increased global competition and the potential impact on Alcatel's level of sustainable margins.

Solid Contributors Included Electronic Manufacturer and Video Game Stocks

Hon Hai Precision, one of the biggest players in the EMS (electronic manufacturing services) space, was a key contributor to results. While the rest of the EMS industry struggles to achieve consistent top-line and earnings growth, Hon Hai has furthered its streak of record revenues and earnings. Through a combination of extreme cost control, strong customer relationships, high-quality standards, and emerging design expertise, Hon Hai has continued to gain market share at key PC, consumer electronics, enterprise hardware accounts. Among its marquee production ramps during the period include: Apple iPod Shuffle, Apple MacMini, Dell/EMC storage arrays, and Cisco VoIP solutions. Customer feedback continues to be very positive, particularly on its low-cost manufacturing and logistics capabilities. With its history of strong execution and budding design expertise, we believe Hon Hai is poised to move further up the value chain. We look forward to continued market-leading growth in revenue and profit.

Another standout during the period was video game producer Electronic Arts ("EA"). EA continues to widen its lead in the sports category, a segment of the market that is particularly attractive since the average buyer of sports-related titles tends to be somewhat older and financially better-off than the typical gamer. In addition, sports titles tend to be updated every year – thus generating annually recurring revenue streams for the software publisher. A deal granting the company sole rights to use the NFL team logos as well as the names of NFL players in game console, provided a psychological boost to the stock during the early months of this period. However, the stock dropped sharply in mid-March after the company lowered earnings expectations due to lower-than-anticipated sales of older, non-franchise titles. Fortunately for us, we had trimmed part of our EA holdings prior to the drop due to near-term valuations and the stock still ended up being a top performer for us during the period. After much examination, we concluded that EA's powerful distribution franchise isn't damaged, and that its ability to produce creative titles to address next-generation hardware platforms (Sony's PSP, Microsoft's Xbox360, and Sony's PS3) remains intact. Thus, we are holding onto our remaining position in Electronic Arts.

Samsung Electronics once again ranked as a top performer as the company benefited from a stabilization of margins at its handset division, an improvement in its display unit and higher volumes at its NAND flash memory business. NAND is a specialized type of nonvolatile memory used in a wide range of applications such as MP3 players, cellular handsets, digital cameras and other portable consumer electronic devices. Samsung and fellow fund holding Toshiba – its closest rival in the NAND space – form a virtual oligopoly in the NAND market. As such, we believe both companies stand to benefit as end-use demand for these types of devices continues to grow at a rapid pace.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

Over the past two decades, the technology sector witnessed the excitement generated by broad-based adoption of such mega-trends as client-server technologies, local- and wide-area networking, cellular technologies, and Internet enablement. While there are no such revolutionary trends driving the industry – and investor imagination – today, there continues to be robust demand on creative ways to mine existing infrastructure and investments to address pressing business needs. Our end-demand-driven research continues to unearth healthy technology demand from corporate IT departments, governments, network operators and small/medium enterprises – particularly in their quest for more ways to cut costs, generate greater revenues, and to create new lines of business. We have positioned the Fund to potentially capitalize on these emerging secular trends as we seek to produce long-term gains for you, our investors.

Thank you for your continued investment.

See "Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements."

The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the index. The index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

This Fund concentrates in certain industry groups, which may react similarly to market developments (resulting in greater price volatility), and may have significant exposure to foreign markets (which include risks such as currency fluctuation and political uncertainty).

The Fund is classified as "nondiversified," meaning it has the ability to take larger positions in a smaller number of issuers than a fund that is classified as "diversified." Nondiversified funds may experience greater price volatility.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

A 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 3 months or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.

This Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets which may lead to greater price volatility.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

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 Fund, Janus Enterprise Fund, Janus Mercury Fund, Janus Olympus Fund, Janus Orion Fund, Janus Triton Fund, Janus Twenty Fund, Janus Venture Fund, Janus Global Life Sciences Fund and Janus Global Technology Fund (collectively the "Funds" and individually a "Fund") are series funds. The Funds are part of Janus Investment Fund (the "Trust"), which was organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company. The Trust has twenty-nine funds. Each of the Funds in this report is classified as diversified as defined in the 1940 Act, with the exception of Janus Orion Fund, Janus Twenty Fund and Janus Global Technology Fund, which are classified as nondiversified. The Funds are no-load investments.

The following accounting policies have been consistently followed by the Funds and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the investment company industry.

Investment Valuation

Securities are valued at the closing price for securities traded on a principal securities exchange (U.S. or foreign) and on the NASDAQ National Market. Securities traded on over-the-counter 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 making a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by the Funds' Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Foreign securities and currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate in effect as of the daily close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). When market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, or events or circumstances that may affect the value of portfolio securities held by the funds are identified between the closing of their principal markets and time the net asset value ("NAV") is determined, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the supervision of the Funds' Trustees. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value international equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and 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. 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.

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 of the Funds.

Securities Lending

Under procedures adopted by the Trustees, the Funds may lend securities to qualified parties (typically brokers or other financial institutions) who need to borrow securities in order to complete certain transactions such as covering short sales, avoiding failures to deliver securities or completing arbitrage activities. The Funds' Trustees periodically review securities lending activities to monitor compliance with the securities lending procedures. The Funds may seek to earn additional income through securities lending. 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 Management LLC ("Janus Capital") makes efforts to balance the benefits and risks from granting such loans.

The Funds will not have the right to vote on securities while they are being lent, however, the Funds may attempt to call back the loan and vote the proxy. 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 or such other collateral permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The lending agent may also invest the cash collateral in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio or investments in unaffiliated money market funds or accounts, mutually agreed to by the Funds and the lending agent that complies with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act relating to money market funds.

As of April 30, 2005, the Funds had on loan securities valued as indicated:

Fund   Value at
April 30, 2005

Janus Fund   $ 260,069,547

74 Janus Growth Funds April 30, 2005



As of April 30, 2005, the Funds received cash collateral for securities lending activity as indicated:

Fund   Cash Collateral at
April 30, 2005
 
Growth      
Janus Fund   $ 265,987,247    
Janus Enterprise Fund     122,311,744    
Janus Mercury Fund     359,445,698    
Janus Olympus Fund     211,252,543    
Janus Orion Fund     122,011,619    
Janus Twenty Fund     301,450,397    
Janus Venture Fund     252,702,876    
Specialty Growth      
Janus Global Life Sciences Fund     129,120,021    
Janus Global Technology Fund     80,079,139    

 

As of April 30, 2005, all cash collateral received was invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio.

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 which 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 respective 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 borrower pays fees at the Funds' direction to its lending agent. The lending agent may retain a portion of the interest earned. The cash collateral invested by the lending agent is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The lending fees and the Funds' portion of the interest income earned on cash collateral is included on the Statement of Operations (if applicable).

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, there were no securities lending arrangements for Janus Triton Fund.

Interfund Lending

Pursuant to an exemptive order received from the SEC, each of the Funds may be party to an interfund lending agreement between the Funds and other Janus Capital sponsored mutual funds, which permit it to borrow or lend cash, at a rate beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Outstanding borrowings from all sources totaling 10% or more of a borrowing Fund's total assets must be collateralized at 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan; loans of less than 10% may be unsecured. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, there were no outstanding borrowing or lending arrangements for the Funds.

Forward Currency Transactions

The Funds may enter into forward currency contracts in order to reduce their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings and to lock in the U.S. dollar cost of firm purchase and sale commitments for securities denominated in or exposed to foreign currencies. A forward currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. 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 or loss from foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations (if applicable).

Forward currency contracts held by the Funds are fully collateralized by other securities, which are denoted in the accompanying Schedule of Investments (if applicable). The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its market value equals or exceeds the current market value of the corresponding forward currency contracts.

Foreign Currency Translations

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from 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 on investments and foreign currency translation 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 security transactions and income.

Foreign-denominated assets and forward currency contracts may involve more risks than domestic transactions, including currency risk, political and economic risk, regulatory risk and market 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.

When-issued Securities

The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Funds may hold liquid assets as collateral with the Funds' custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price. As of April 30, 2005, there were no Funds invested in when-issued securities.

Janus Growth Funds April 30, 2005 75



Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Initial Public Offerings

The Funds may invest in initial public offerings ("IPOs"). IPOs and other investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on a fund with a small asset base. The Funds may not experience similar performance as their assets grow.

Restricted Security Transactions

Restricted securities held by a Fund may not be sold except in exempt transactions or in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933. 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 a 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.

Dividend Distributions

Each Fund generally declares and distributes dividends and capital gains (if any) annually. The majority of dividends and capital gains distributions from a Fund will be automatically reinvested into additional shares of that Fund.

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.

Federal Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Funds intend to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.

Indemnifications

Under the Funds' organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Each Fund pays a monthly advisory fee to Janus Capital based upon average daily net assets and calculated at the annual rate of 0.64%.

Until at least March 1, 2006, provided that Janus Capital remains investment adviser to the Funds, Janus Capital has agreed to reimburse the Janus Triton Fund by the amount, if any, that such Fund's normal operating expenses in any fiscal year, including the investment advisory fee, but excluding the brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, exceeds the annual rate of 1.25%. Janus Capital is not entitled to recoup such reimbursements or fee reductions from the Fund. If applicable, amounts reimbursed to the Fund by Janus Capital are disclosed as Excess Expense Reimbursement on the Statement of Operations.

Each of the Funds pays Janus Services LLC ("Janus Services"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, an asset-weighted average annual fee based on the proportion of each of the Fund's total net assets sold directly and the proportion of each Fund's net assets sold through financial intermediaries. The applicable fee rates are 0.16% of net assets on the proportion of assets sold directly and 0.21% on the proportion of assets sold through intermediaries. In addition, Janus Services receives $4.00 per open shareholder account (excluding Janus Twenty Fund and Janus Venture Fund) for transfer agent services plus reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses (primarily postage and telephone charges).

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, Janus Services reimbursed Janus Fund, Janus Olympus Fund, Janus Twenty Fund $947, $1,143, $6,605, respectively, as a result of dilutions caused by incorrectly processed shareholder activity.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, Janus Capital assumed $3,084 of legal, consulting and Trustee costs and fees incurred by the funds in Janus Investment Fund, Janus Aspen Series and Janus Adviser Series ("Portfolios") in connection with the regulatory and civil litigation matters discussed in Note 6. These non-recurring costs were allocated to all Portfolios based on the Portfolios' respective net assets at July 31, 2004. Additionally, all future non-recurring costs will be allocated to all Portfolios based on the Portfolios' respective net assets at July 31, 2004. These non-recurring costs and offsetting waivers are shown on the Statement of Operations. The effect of non-recurring costs was de minimis.

Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds may also be officers and/or directors of Janus Capital; however, such officers and Trustees receive no compensation from the Funds.

The Funds' expenses may be reduced by expense offsets from an unaffiliated custodian. Such credits or offsets are included

76 Janus Growth Funds April 30, 2005



in Expense and Fee Offsets on the Statement of Operations. Custody credits received reduce Custodian Fees. The Funds could have employed the assets used by the custodian to produce income if it had not entered into an expense offset arrangement.

A 2.00% redemption fee may be imposed on shares of Janus Global Life Sciences Fund and Janus Global Technology Fund held for three months or less. This fee is paid to the Funds rather than Janus Capital, and is designed to deter excessive short-term trading and to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with changes in the Funds' asset level and cash flow due to short-term money movements in and out of the Funds. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to Paid-in Capital. Total redemption fees received by Janus Global Life Sciences Fund and Janus Global Technology Fund were $20,517 and $60,372, respectively, for the six-month period ended April 30, 2005.

The Funds may invest in money market funds, including funds managed by Janus Capital. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the following Funds recorded distributions from affiliated investment companies as affiliated dividend income, and had the following affiliated purchases and sales:

4. FEDERAL INCOME TAX

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. 

The Funds have elected to treat gains and losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts as capital gains and losses. Other foreign currency gains and losses on debt instruments are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investment securities for federal income tax purposes as of April 30, 2005 are noted below.

6. LEGAL MATTERS

In September 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC'') and the Office of the New York State Attorney General ("NYAG'') publicly announced that they were investigating trading practices in the mutual fund industry. The investigations were prompted by the NYAG's settlement with a hedge fund, Canary Capital, which allegedly engaged in irregular trading practices with certain mutual fund companies. While Janus Capital was not named as a defendant in the NYAG complaint against the hedge fund, Janus Capital was mentioned in the complaint as having allowed Canary Capital to "market time'' certain Janus funds, allegedly in contradiction to policies stated in prospectuses for certain Janus funds.

Subsequent to the announcements by the SEC and the NYAG, the Colorado Attorney General ("COAG'') and the Colorado Division of Securities announced that they were each initiating investigations into Janus Capital's mutual fund trading practices. On August 18, 2004, Janus Capital announced that it had reached final settlements with the NYAG, the COAG, the Colorado Division of Securities and the SEC related to such regulators' investigations into Janus Capital's frequent trading arrangements.

A number of civil lawsuits were also brought against Janus Capital and certain of its affiliates, the Janus funds, and related entities and individuals based on allegations similar to those contained in the NYAG complaint against Canary Capital. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories for recovery including, but not limited to the federal securities laws, other federal statutes (including ERISA) and various common law doctrines.

These "market timing" lawsuits were filed in a number of state and federal jurisdictions. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has finally or conditionally transferred all but one of these actions to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for coordinated proceedings. On September 29, 2004, five consolidated amended complaints were filed in that court. These complaints are the operative complaints in the coordinated proceedings and, as a practical matter, supersede the previously filed complaints. The five complaints include: (i) claims by a putative class of investors in the Janus funds asserting claims on behalf of the investor class; (ii) derivative claims by investors in the Janus funds ostensibly on behalf of the Janus funds; (iii) claims on behalf of participants in the Janus 401(k) plan; (iv) claims brought on behalf of shareholders of JCG on a derivative basis against the Board of Directors of JCG; and (v) claims by a putative class of shareholders of JCG asserting claims on behalf of the shareholders. Each of the five complaints name JCG and/or Janus Capital as a defendant. In addition, the following are named as defendants in one or more of the actions: Janus Investment Fund ("JIF"), Janus Aspen Series ("JAS"), Janus Adviser Series ("JAD"), Janus Distributors LLC, Enhanced Investment Technologies LLC ("INTECH"), Bay Isle, Perkins Wolf McDonnell and Company LLC ("Perkins"), the Advisory Committee of the Janus 401(k) plan, and the current or former directors of JCG.

In early 2005, a lawsuit was filed in the State of Kansas alleging violations under Kansas law based on Janus Capital's involvement in the market timing allegations. Also, the Attorney General's Office for the State of West Virginia recently filed a market timing related civil action against Janus Capital and several other non-affiliated mutual fund companies, claiming violations under the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act. The civil action requests certain monetary penalties, among other relief.

In addition to the "market timing'' actions described above, three civil lawsuits were filed against Janus Capital challenging the investment advisory fees charged by Janus Capital to certain Janus funds. One such lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed. The remaining two lawsuits are currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. On January 31, 2005, the court entered an order granting a joint motion to consolidate the cases and allowing the consolidated amended complaint filed with the motion. The consolidated amended complaint is the operative complaint in the coordinated proceedings. The complaint asserts claims under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

A lawsuit was also filed against Janus Capital and certain affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado alleging that Janus Capital failed to ensure that certain Janus funds participated in securities class action settlements for which the funds were eligible. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 36(a), 36(b) and 47(b) of the Investment Company Act, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence.

Additional lawsuits may be filed against certain of the Janus funds, Janus Capital and related parties in the future. Janus Capital does not currently believe that these pending actions will materially affect its ability to continue providing services it has agreed to provide to the Funds.

On March 16, 2005, Bay Isle received a document request in connection with the SEC's informal inquiry into issues raised by the SEC staff in a deficiency letter resulting from a routine examination of Bay Isle in March 2004. Bay Isle is in the process of responding to such request. In addition, the SEC examination of Janus Capital commenced in September 2003 remains open.

Approval of Advisory Agreements During the Period

The Trustees of Janus Investment Fund, more than eighty-five percent of whom have never been affiliated with Janus Triton Fund's (the "New Fund") adviser ("Independent Trustees"), considered the proposed investment advisory agreement for the New Fund. In the course of their consideration of the agreement the Independent Trustees met in executive session and were advised by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by Janus Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser") in response to requests of the Trustees and their counsel. They also received and reviewed a considerable amount of information provided to the Trustees by their independent fee consultant. Based on their evaluation of that information and other information, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, at a meeting held on December 2, 2004, approved the investment advisory agreement for the New Fund for a period through July 1, 2006.

In considering the agreements and reaching their conclusions, the Trustees reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described as follows.

1. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

The Trustees' analysis of the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services to the New Fund took into account the investment objective and strategy of the New Fund and the knowledge of the Trustees gained from the Trustees' regular meetings with management throughout the prior year. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the Adviser's resources and key personnel, especially those who would be providing investment management services to the New Fund. The Trustees also considered other services to be provided to the New Fund by the Adviser, such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, serving as the New Fund's administrator, monitoring adherence to the New Fund's investment restrictions, producing shareholder reports, providing support services for the Trustees and Trustee committees and overseeing the activities of other service providers, including monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities laws and regulations. The Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the New Fund were appropriate and consistent with the terms of the respective proposed advisory agreements and that the New Fund was likely to benefit from services provided under its agreement with the Adviser. They also concluded that the quality of the Adviser's services to the other Janus funds had been consistent with or superior to quality norms in the industry and that the Adviser had sufficient personnel, with the appropriate education and experience, to serve the New Fund effectively and had demonstrated its continuing ability to attract and retain well qualified personnel.

The Trustees also reviewed the response of the Adviser to various legal and regulatory proceedings since the fall of 2003.

2. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED

The Trustees examined the fee information and expense for the New Fund in comparison to information for other comparable funds as provided by Lipper Inc. They noted that both the rate of investment advisory fee and the estimated expense ratio for the New Fund were below both the median and the mean advisory fees and the expense ratios, respectively, for the respective groups of comparable funds.

The Trustees considered the methodology used by the Adviser in determining compensation payable to portfolio managers and the competition for investment management

Janus Growth Funds April 30, 2005 81



talent, and they also considered the competitive market for mutual funds in different distribution channels.

The Trustees had also reviewed the Adviser's management fees for its institutional separate accounts and for its subadvised funds (funds for which the Adviser provides portfolio management services only). In most instances sub-advisory and institutional separate account fees are lower than the New Fund's management fee. However, the Trustees noted that the Adviser performs significant additional services for the New Fund that it does not provide to those other clients, including administrative services, oversight of the New Fund's other service providers, trustee support, regulatory compliance and numerous other services. The Trustees had also considered the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates of their relationships with the other Janus Funds in connection with their consideration of the advisory agreements for those funds and had found the profitability not to be unreasonable.

Finally, the Trustees considered the financial condition of the Adviser, which they found to be sound.

The Trustees concluded that the management fees and other compensation to be paid by the New Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services to be provided, taking into account the fees charged by other advisers for managing comparable mutual funds with similar strategies and the fees the Adviser charges to other clients, and that the estimated overall expense ratio of the New Fund, taking into account the expense limitations agreed to by the Adviser, was comparable to or more favorable than the mean or median expense ratio of its peers.

3. BENEFITS DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NEW FUND

The Trustees also considered benefits that would accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the New Fund. The Trustees recognized that two affiliates of the Adviser would serve the New Fund as transfer agent and distributor and that the transfer agent would receive compensation from the New Fund for its services to the New Fund. The Trustees also considered the Adviser's use of commissions to be paid by the New Fund on their portfolio brokerage transactions to obtain proprietary research products and services benefiting the New Fund and/or other clients of the Adviser and the Adviser's agreement not to use the New Fund's portfolio brokerage transactions to obtain third party research through brokers. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser's use of "soft" commission dollars to obtain proprietary research products and services was consistent with regulatory requirements and would benefit the New Fund. The Trustees concluded that, other than the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates pursuant to the proposed agreements and the fees to be paid by the New Fund therefor, the New Fund and the Adviser may potentially benefit from their relationship with each other in other ways. They concluded that the Adviser would benefit from the receipt of proprietary research products and services to be acquired through commissions paid on portfolio transactions of the New Fund and that the New Fund would benefit from the Adviser's receipt of those products and services as well as research products and services acquired through commissions paid by other clients of the Adviser. They also concluded that success of the New Fund could attract other business to the Adviser or its other funds and that the success of the Adviser could enhance the Adviser's ability to serve the New Fund.

After full consideration of the above factors as well as other factors, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that approval of the New Fund's agreement was in the best interest of the New Fund and its shareholders.

1. PERFORMANCE OVERVIEWS

Performance overview graphs compare the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each Fund (from inception) with one or more widely used market indices. The hypothetical example does not represent the returns of any particular investment.

When comparing the performance of a Fund with an index, keep in mind that market indices do not include brokerage commissions that would be incurred if you purchased the individual securities in the index. They also do not include taxes payable on dividends and interest or operating expenses incurred if you maintained a Fund invested in the index.

Average annual total returns are also quoted for each Fund. Average annual total return is calculated by taking the growth or decline in value of an investment over a period of time, including reinvestment of any dividends, distributions and capital gains, 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.

2. SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS

Following the performance overview section is each Fund's Schedule of Investments. This schedule reports the industry concentrations and types of securities held in each Fund on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are usually listed by type (common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. Government obligations, etc.) and by industry classification (banking, communications, insurance, etc.). Holdings are subject to change without notice.

The value of each security is quoted as of the last day of the reporting period. The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies is converted into U.S. dollars. Certain shorth-term investments maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Funds that invest in foreign securities also provide a summary of investments by country. This summary reports the Fund's exposure to different countries by providing the percentage of securities invested in each country. The country of each security represents the country in which the company is incorporated.

2A. FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS

A table listing forward currency contracts follows each Fund's Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Forward currency contracts are agreements to deliver or receive a preset amount of currency at a future date. Forward currency contracts are used to hedge against foreign currency risk in the Fund's long-term holdings.

The table provides the name of the foreign currency, the settlement date of the contract, the amount of the contract, the value of the currency in U.S. dollars and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the change in currency exchange rates from the time the contract was opened to the last day of the reporting period.

2B. FUTURES

A table listing futures contracts follows each Fund's Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Futures contracts are contracts that obligate the buyer to receive and the seller to deliver an instrument or money at a specified price on a specified date. Futures are used to hedge against adverse movements in securities prices, currency risk or interest rates.

The table provides the name of the contract, number of contracts held, the expiration date, the principal amount, value and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the marked-to-market amount for the last day of the reporting period.

3. STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

This statement is often referred to as the "balance sheet." It lists the assets and liabilities of the Funds on the last day of the reporting period.

The Funds' assets are calculated by adding the value of the securities owned, the receivable for securities sold but not yet settled, the receivable for dividends declared but not yet received on stocks owned and the receivable for Fund shares sold to investors but not yet settled. The Funds' liabilities include payables for securities purchased but not yet settled, Fund shares redeemed but not yet paid and expenses owed but not yet paid. Additionally, there may be other assets and liabilities such as unrealized gain or loss on forward currency contracts.

The section entitled "Net Assets Consist of" breaks down the components of the Funds' net assets. Because Funds must distribute substantially all earnings, you'll notice that a significant portion of net assets is shareholder capital.

The last section of this statement reports the net asset value ("NAV") per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the Funds' net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding.

4. STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

This statement details the Funds' income, expenses, gains and losses on securities and currency transactions, and appreciation or depreciation of current Fund holdings.

Janus Growth Funds April 30, 2005 83



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

The first section in this statement, entitled "Investment Income," reports the dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the Funds.

The next section reports the expenses incurred by the Funds, including the advisory fee paid to the investment adviser, transfer agent fees and expenses, and printing and postage for mailing statements, financial reports and prospectuses. Expense offsets, if any, are also shown.

The last section lists the increase or decrease in the value of securities held in the Funds. Funds realize a gain (or loss) when they sell their position in a particular security. An unrealized gain (or loss) refers to the change in net appreciation or depreciation of the Funds during the period. "Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) on Investments" is affected both by changes in the market value of Fund holdings and by gains (or losses) realized during the reporting period.

5. STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

This statement reports the increase or decrease in the Funds' net assets during the reporting period. Changes in the Funds' net assets are attributable to investment operations, dividends, distributions and capital share transactions. This is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the Funds' net asset size to change during the period.

The first section summarizes the information from the Statement of Operations regarding changes in net assets due to the Funds' investment performance. The Funds' net assets may also change as a result of dividend and capital gains distributions to investors. If investors receive their dividends in cash, money is taken out of the Fund to pay the distribution. If investors reinvest their dividends, the Funds' net assets will not be affected. If you compare each Fund's "Net Decrease from Dividends and Distributions" to the "Reinvested dividends and distributions," you'll notice that dividend distributions had little effect on each Fund's net assets. This is because the majority of Janus investors reinvest their distributions.

The reinvestment of dividends is included under "Capital Share Transactions." "Capital Shares" refers to the money investors contribute to the Funds through purchases or withdrawals via redemptions. The "Redemption Fees" refers to the fee paid to the Funds for shares held for three months or less by a shareholder. The Funds' net assets will increase and decrease in value as investors purchase and redeem shares from the Funds.

6. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

This schedule provides a per-share breakdown of the components that affect the Funds' NAV for current and past reporting periods. Not only does this table provide you with total return, it also reports total distributions, asset size, expense ratios and portfolio turnover rate.

The first line in the table reflects the NAV per share at the beginning of the reporting period. The next line reports the net investment income per share, which comprises dividends and interest income earned on securities held by the Funds. Following is the total of gains/(losses), realized and unrealized. Dividends and distributions are then subtracted to arrive at the NAV per share at the end of the period.

The next line reflects the average annual total return reported the last day of the period.

Also included are the expense ratios, or the percentage of net assets that were used to cover operating expenses during the period. Expense ratios vary across the Funds for a number of reasons, including the differences in management fees, the average shareholder account size, the frequency of dividend payments and the extent of foreign investments, which entail greater transaction costs.

The Funds' expenses may be reduced through expense reduction arrangements. These arrangements may include the use of uninvested cash balances earning interest, or balance credits. The Statement of Operations reflects total expenses before any such offset, the amount of offset and the net expenses. The expense ratios listed in the Financial Highlights reflect total expenses prior to any expense offsets (gross expense ratio) and after the expense offsets (net expense ratio). Both expense ratios reflect expenses after waivers (reimbursements), if applicable.

The ratio of net investment income/(loss) summarizes the income earned less expenses divided by the average net assets of a Fund during the reporting period. Don't confuse this ratio with a Fund's yield. The net investment income ratio is not a true measure of a Fund's yield because it doesn't take into account the dividends distributed to the Fund's investors.

The next ratio is the portfolio turnover rate, which measures the buying and selling activity in a Fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the asset size of a Fund, the nature of the Fund's investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager. A 100% rate implies that an amount equal to the value of the entire portfolio is turned over in a year; a 50% rate means that an amount equal to the value of half the portfolio is traded in a year; and a 200% rate means that an amount equal to the value of the portfolio is traded every six months.

Janus Growth Funds April 30, 2005 85



Janus provides access to a wide range of investment disciplines.

Growth

Janus growth funds focus on companies believed to be the leaders in their respective industries, with solid management teams, expanding market share, margins and efficiencies.

Core

Janus core funds seek investments in more stable and predictable companies. These funds look for a strategic combination of steady growth and for certain funds, some degree of income.

Risk-Managed

Janus risk-managed funds seek to outperform their respective indices while maintaining a risk profile equal to or lower than the index itself. Managed by INTECH, these funds use a mathematical process in an attempt to build a more "efficient" portfolio than
the index.

Value

Janus value funds invest in companies they believe are poised for a turnaround or are trading at a significant discount to fair value. The goal is to gain unique insight into a company's true value and identify and evaluate potential catalysts that may unlock
shareholder value.

International & Global

Janus international and global 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.

Bond & Money Market

Janus bond funds attempt to provide less risk relative to equities while seeking to deliver a competitive total return through high current income and appreciation.

Dear Shareholder,

Having served as Janus' Chief Investment Officer for full a year now, it seems an appropriate time to assess the progress we've made for our shareholders over the past 12 months.

Report Card

In my first letter to Janus shareholders last April, I spoke about our collective efforts to expand our coverage of stocks, improve our risk-management discipline and foster additional collaboration between portfolio managers and analysts.

I am pleased to report that we have made significant progress on all three fronts, and would like to share details with you.

First, we hired eight new equity analysts this past year, which brings the total equity analyst team to 36. On the fixed-income side, we hired three new credit analysts. The expanded research staff has enabled Janus to increase its coverage of domestic and international stocks, with the goal of keeping the portfolios fresh with current ideas.

Second, we improved our risk-management oversight by creating the position of Director of Risk Management and Performance, a role recently filled by Daniel Scherman, who brings with him more than 20 years of experience in the investment management industry. While Janus' heritage is built on a willingness to invest with conviction when we believe we have a research edge, adding this additional layer of risk oversight should ensure that exposures, whether intended or not, are properly analyzed.

The third initiative on which we have made progress is enhancing the quality of debate and dialogue within the investment team, which is a critical, yet intangible component of any successful investment management organization. There are multiple venues available for portfolio managers and analysts to come together and discuss or review key stocks in the news or new buy recommendations. The senior analysts that lead the global sector teams play an important part in driving this dialogue with the portfolio managers, resulting in a more robust exchange of ideas.

Also noteworthy is the contribution our team of 12 research associates has made to our overall research effort. Created two years ago, the team continues to make solid contributions by uncovering real-time demand trends in the marketplace in key consumer categories, ranging from travel and lodging to online music and wireless communications.

While we're pleased with our accomplishments to date, these and other initiatives would be irrelevant if there was no concurrent improvement in relative fund performance. In that regard, I am pleased to report a significant improvement in the relative performance of a number of our funds, as described below.

Performance

As of April, 30, 2005, 73% of Janus growth and core funds ranked in Lipper's top two quartiles for the one- and three-year periods, based on total returns. Longer-term relative performance is also impressive, with 100% of our growth and core funds ranking in Lipper's top two quartiles for the life-of-fund periods.

In my opinion, the improvement in relative performance for many of our funds tells me that our research effort continues to set us apart from our peers and that the portfolios are well positioned to outperform in all types of markets. The investment team is working together to ensure that, in its view, the most compelling risk/reward stocks are properly positioned in the portfolios.

New Fund Offerings

We are very excited to bring our investors two new mutual funds, which were launched this past winter: Janus Triton Fund and Janus Research Fund. Janus Triton Fund, managed by Ron Sachs, outpaced its benchmark index since inception (the two-month period ended April 30, 2005). We attribute these results to the success that Ron and team have had uncovering promising investment ideas in the small- and mid-cap growth space.

Gary Black

President and Chief
Investment Officer

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Continued

Janus Research Fund is a unique collection of the top picks of each analyst at Janus, thereby resulting in a diversified, multicap portfolio of both growth and value stocks. It, too, is backed by a solid research effort, and by focusing on what we believe are the best prospects for the long haul, we hope to deliver Index-beating returns with relatively low risks.

Market Review and Outlook

After hitting 31/2 year highs in early March, equity markets encountered stiff headwinds in late-March and April. Record-high oil prices, sluggish retail sales, falling consumer confidence, and slowing earnings growth all conspired to stymie the markets.

General Motors' announcement in mid-March that it has scaled back its earnings expectations for the remainder of 2005 was a clear sign that higher oil prices and rising interest rates were finally having a negative impact on consumer spending. Subsequent updates by Wal-Mart, Harley-Davidson and IBM provided further confirmation of a slightly softer macroeconomic environment as the second quarter unfolded.

It appears that two opposing opinions have crystallized regarding the near-term outlook for the economy. One camp is forecasting a deceleration in the economy due to the lagging effect of higher energy prices and rising interest rates. This group is projecting that gross domestic product (GDP) growth will slow to 2% in the second half of the year.

The other camp argues that the U.S. economy is better equipped to handle higher energy prices and interest rates when compared to the 1980s, and what we may be witnessing in the current volatile market is the handoff in spending from consumers to businesses.

Taking a step back from the day-to-day noise of the markets, the most likely scenario to unfold will be that the economy continues to grow at an acceptable rate given this stage of the business cycle. While it is reasonable to expect some moderation in economic growth as the business cycle matures, we do not think that GDP growth will decelerate markedly in the second half of the year.

In support of that view, it is important to note that unemployment is declining, business spending is improving, merger and acquisition activity is picking up, jobs are still being created, and corporate earnings generally have been reasonable.

Risks to economic growth are well known – rising energy prices, eroding consumer confidence, job cuts, reduced business spending, and higher interest rates. We believe these concerns will likely remain in the forefront of the market for the near term.

While all investors get impatient with sideways markets, we at Janus believe that the market will always reward superior business models with improving fundamental outlooks. Our job is to identify those companies that are winning in the marketplace and own them in your funds.

Thank you for your confidence and trust.

Sincerely,

Gary Black
President and Chief Executive Officer

Janus Contrarian Fund, Janus Overseas Fund, Janus Global Technology Fund and Janus Orion Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets which may lead to greater price volatility.

A fund's performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with non-diversification, investments in foreign securities, non-investment grade debt securities, undervalued companies or companies with a relatively small market capitalization. Please see a Janus prospectus for more detailed information.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

Growth and value investing each have their own unique risks and potential for rewards, and may not be suitable for all investors. A growth investing strategy typically carries a higher risk of loss and a higher potential for reward than a value investing strategy. A growth investing strategy emphasizes capital appreciation; a value investing strategy emphasizes investments in companies believed to be undervalued.

Useful Information About Your Fund Report

Portfolio Manager Commentaries

The portfolio manager commentaries in this report include valuable insight from the portfolio managers as well as statistical information to help you understand how your fund's performance and characteristics stack up against those of comparable indices.

Please keep in mind that the opinions expressed by the portfolio managers in their commentaries are just that: opinions. The commentary is a reflection of the portfolio manager's best judgment at the time this report was compiled, which was April 30, 2005. As the investing environment changes, so could the portfolio managers' opinions. These views are unique to each manager and aren't necessarily shared by their fellow employees or by Janus in general.

Fund Expenses

We believe it's important for our shareholders to have a clear understanding of fund expenses and the impact they have on investment return.

The following is important information regarding each Fund's Expense Example, which appears in each Fund's Portfolio Manager Commentary within this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for each Fund.

Example

As a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees (where applicable) (and any related exchange fees) and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative services fees (where applicable), and other Fund expenses. The example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six-month period from November 1, 2004 to April 30, 2005 for all Funds except Janus Research Fund which is based on the period February 25, 2005 (inception date) to April 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table in each example provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table in each example provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. This 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.

Janus Capital Management LLC ("Janus Capital") has contractually agreed to waive for certain Funds, certain expenses to certain limits until at least March 1, 2006. Expenses in the examples reflect application of these waivers. Had the waivers not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher. More information regarding the waivers is available in the Funds' Prospectuses.

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

Fund Snapshot

This fund combines the growth potential of stocks with the balance of bonds.

Karen L. Reidy

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

During the six months ended April 30, 2005, Janus Balanced Fund returned 2.41%. This compares to a 2.14% gain for the internally calculated Balanced Index. The Balanced Index is composed of 55% of the S&P 500® Index and 45% of the Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Index, which returned 3.28% and 0.75%, respectively.

On the fixed-income side of the Fund, we trailed the Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Index in an environment of rising interest rates. Meanwhile, on the equities side, we outperformed the S&P 500® Index, boosted by several well-chosen stocks in the healthcare and leisure (hotels and restaurants) sectors. Working against us was an overweight position versus the S&P 500® Index in the automobiles and components group, which was an area of weakness in the market. Also holding back our results were select holdings in the food, beverage and tobacco industry.

Strategy in This Environment

After rallying on the heels of the U.S. presidential election in November 2004, stocks experienced a significant slowdown in the first quarter of 2005 due to two major pressures: uncertainty over interest rates and rising commodity prices. Meanwhile, bonds lagged stocks during the rally in the fourth quarter of 2004; in addition, they offered little respite during stocks' swoon in the first quarter of 2005, as the Federal Reserve Board's tightening cycle kept bond investors wary. In this environment, we continued to stay focused on our long-term goals, using a diversified approach to help mitigate risk and applying a disciplined, bottom-up approach to uncover investment opportunities in both the stock and bond markets.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, the Fund was 59.2% invested in equities, with foreign stocks accounting for 10.7% of our equity stake. At the same time, we held a 36.8% position in fixed-income securities, with 9.6% invested in Treasuries, 19.4% invested in corporate bonds, and 7.8% invested in agency bonds. The Portfolio's 10 largest equity holdings represented 22.4% of its total net assets and we held a cash position of 4.0%.

Boosting Performance Were Hotel and Energy Stocks and our Decision to Trim our High-Yield Position

We continued to see strong performance from our lodging stocks, which enjoyed excellent returns both last year and during the first four months of 2005. By using our in-depth research to uncover trends with long-term potential, we were able to take full advantage of the continued recovery in business travel and tourism. On top of the industry's solid fundamentals, the dollar's decline against other currencies had bolstered the performance of Marriott International and Starwood Hotels & Resorts, which owns the popular Sheraton, Westin, and W hotel lines. Both Marriott and Starwood have a large presence in coastal cities and other destinations of choice for foreign travelers. In addition to the resurgence of the American business traveler, these foreign visitors helped drive demand for hotel rooms and associated daily rates.

Turning to the energy sector, oil and natural gas companies continued to flourish. For example, Exxon Mobil was a star performer in the semiannual period. Buoyed by oil and gas price increases, Exxon Mobil also benefited from higher prices for several chemicals that it supplies, which stemmed from capacity shortages.

On the fixed-income side of the Fund, we opted to trim our position in high-yield bonds, an approach that benefited the Fund as high-yield spreads continued to widen throughout the period. In addition, we maintained a shorter average duration than our benchmark to accommodate rising rates and took advantage of opportunities on the short end of the Treasury yield curve.

Detractors Included Auto Component Manufacturers and Retailers

Weighing on performance was Lear Corp., a major supplier of automotive interiors to car manufacturers in the United States, Asia and Germany. With 50% of its business coming from the so-called "big three" U.S. automakers (DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motors and General Motors - none of which are Fund holdings), Lear was hurt by these companies' cuts in production. GM in particular shook the entire market with its announcement of a steep decline in first-quarter profits. This news came as a shock considering that investors had been expecting a modest gain. Additionally, Lear was hurt by the upward trend in commodity inflation, which sent steel costs higher and cut into the company's profit margins. We consequently reduced our position in the stock while continuing to closely monitor developments at the company.

Meanwhile, retailer Best Buy hampered the Fund's semiannual return. The company's disappointing performance can be traced to two major factors. First, Best Buy underwent aggressive restructuring and initiated a new customer service program in 2004 - two fundamental developments that helped increase customer traffic but have not yet yielded improvements for Best Buy's operating margins. In addition, investors anticipated that this past holiday season would be the year for digital television and flat-screen units. Although sales were brisk, they did not measure up to expectations. As a result, Best Buy experienced a pause in the growth of its digital and flat screen TV market shares. As a result, we cut our stake in Best Buy.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

In terms of the portfolio's positioning, we remain more heavily invested in equities than bonds at this point. In addition, we have maintained an overweight allocation relative to our benchmark in consumer discretionary names - a result of our substantial position in the lodging sector and in key media names like IAC/InterActiveCorp and Time Warner. We are also focusing to a certain degree on the semiconductor industry, an area that we believe has some of the most attractive opportunities. However, it's important to point out that in a market whose recovery is now four years old, general sector bets grow less effective and individual stock-picking becomes that much more critical.

Finally, I'd like to inform shareholders that effective May 1, 2005, the management of Janus Balanced Fund will shift to new Portfolio Managers Marc Pinto and Gibson Smith. It is important to note that I have the utmost confidence in the new management team, which will continue to perform in-depth, bottom-up research that leads to diversified investments with attractive valuations and strong potential for long-term growth. I'm proud to be able to say that Janus Balanced Fund has earned a 4-star overall Morningstar(1) Rating (based on risk-adjusted returns) and outperformed 94% of its Lipper Balanced Funds peer group over the last ten years (based on total returns). While I can't take all of the credit I'm pleased that I've been able to help contribute to the Fund's record for the last 51/2 years. Thank you for the trust you've placed in me over the years.

(1)Overall rating out of 666 funds in the Moderate Allocation category. The Overall Morningstar RatingTM for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar RatingTM metrics. Rankings and ratings are as of April 30, 2005.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Call 1-800-525-3713 or visit www.janus.com for performance current to the most recent month-end.

See Notes to Schedules of Investments for index definitions.

Total return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

The date of the Lipper ranking is slightly different from when the fund began operations since Lipper provides fund rankings as of the last day of the month or the first Thursday after fund inception.

Fund Expenses

The example below shows you the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and allows you to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. Please refer to page 4 for a detailed explanation of the information presented in these charts.

Expense Example   Beginning Account Value
(11/1/04)
  Ending Account Value
(4/30/05)
  Expenses Paid During Period
(11/1/04-4/30/05)*
 
Actual   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,024.10     $ 4.01    
Hypothetical
(5% return before expenses)
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,020.83     $ 4.01    

 

*Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.80%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

See "Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements."

Funds that invest in bonds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds owned by the fund. Unlike owning individual bonds, there are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of funds.

The return of principal is not guaranteed due to net asset value fluctuation that is caused by changes in the price of specific bonds held in the fund and selling of bonds within the fund by the portfolio manager.

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

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

Lipper Inc. - A Reuters Company, is a nationally recognized organization that ranks the performance of mutual funds within a universe of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested.

Effective May 1, 2005, Karen Reidy is no longer the portfolio manager of Janus Balanced Fund, and Marc Pinto and Gibson Smith are now the Fund's co-managers.

For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar RatingTM based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of the funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) Janus Balanced Fund was rated against the following numbers of U.S.-domiciled moderate allocation funds over the following time periods: 666 funds in the last three years and for the Overall rating, 522 funds in the last five years, and 217 funds in the last ten years. With respect to these, moderate allocation funds, Janus Balanced Fund received a Morningstar RatingTM of 3 stars, 3 stars and 5 stars for the three-, five- and ten-year periods, respectively. Ratings as of 4/30/05.

Janus Contrarian Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This fund relies on detailed research to find out-of-favor companies believed to have unrecognized value.

Performance Overview

I would like to thank you for your continued investment in Janus Contrarian Fund. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the performance of the Fund was 5.23% vs. a gain of 3.28% for the S&P 500® Index, the Fund's benchmark.

Investment Philosophy and Process

As I have discussed in past letters, the performance of the Fund will often act differently than the general market specifically because the performance of the companies we buy for the Fund is generally very specific to the company itself. In other words, a contrarian stock will likely not follow the day-to-day or even month-to-month direction of the general market. It often takes a long time for a company to demonstrate its ability to create value, and sometimes even longer for the market to recognize it. For this reason, it is important that an investor in this fund be comfortable with our process and our discipline because there will be times when the performance of the Fund will lag that of the general market.

Let me offer an example of this. We have been owners of Ceridian for a number of years, and the cumulative performance of the stock has badly lagged not only the performance of the Fund, but that of the general market as well. One may question why I would continue to hold a position that has consistently damaged the performance of the Fund for the last five years. The first response to such a question is that it was clearly a mistake to buy Ceridian when I did. However, I do not think it is a mistake to own the company. We have extensively analyzed Ceridian, which is an information technology company offering primarily human resources solutions, and firmly believe that not only is it undervalued, but that its fundamentals are improving to a point where we believe this value may eventually be recognized by the market.

Patience and conviction is vital to invest successfully in contrarian stocks. One cannot expect value to be recognized immediately and one must therefore have conviction in the process in order to be patient. However, it is also important to recognize when patience begins to look more like obstinacy. I don't believe this is the case with Ceridian, despite the fact that its turnaround has taken substantially longer than I anticipated, and I firmly believe that the value discrepancy is sufficient to maintain the position in the Fund.

I should note that I will not sell a company for the sole reason that the stock goes down or doesn't perform. The decision to sell, like the decision to buy, is much more complex than that. Many factors drive the near-term performance of the market or a stock. It is important to consider those factors but also to consider the fundamental reason for owning the stock in the first place. To the extent that my central thesis for owning the stock is unchanged, then the decision to sell would simply be a knee-jerk reaction rather than a rational one.

Stocks That Contributed to Performance

Apple Computer, a longtime holding and a company I have discussed extensively in past letters, was the most important contributor to the Fund. It returned 37.29% during the period. I sold over half of the position last year, but due to the strong performance, it remains a large holding. While Apple is certainly no longer a controversial stock, I believe the opportunity to grow its share in computer hardware is being overshadowed by the emphasis being placed on its iPod division.

perspective, Apple, due in large part to the success of the iPod, will continue to show improvement in its sales of computer hardware, and this fact will drive future share improvement.

SBS Broadcasting, a large European media company, was also a strong performer in the period (up 33.86%). It has demonstrated excellent revenue growth over the last five years as it has built out its platform and even more meaningful cash flow growth due to substantial margin improvement. Even following its strong performance, I believe the market is undervaluing the powerful media platform it has created. Nonetheless, we have begun to take profits on the position.

Other important contributors to the performance of the Fund include Station Casinos (up 27.59%), SK Corp. (up 9.88%), and ICICI Bank (up 25.55%).

Stocks That Detracted From Performance

We did have a few holdings that negatively affected the performance of the Fund. The worst performer was Lear Corp., an automotive parts supplier (down 36.63%). We sold a substantial portion of the position last year, but I clearly made a mistake by not selling the entire position. Due to very heavy reliance on General Motors and Ford and, in particular, to the Sport Utility divisions of these companies, severe weakness at these two companies caused a significant impact on the earnings of Lear. I have chosen not to sell any more of the position at current levels because I am confident in management and the high returns that this company can generate. I view the disruption to the earnings and cash flow as temporary and, based on normalized earnings and cash flow, believe this company is substantially undervalued at these levels.

Other detractors from performance in the period include Advanced Micro Devices ("AMD") (down 15.40%) following an earnings miss due to weakness in its flash business, E*Trade (down 13.88%) due to concern surrounding a price war in on-line brokerage, and Fred's (down 17.35%), which saw soft retail demand. I maintain positions in both AMD and E*Trade due to the fact that I believe they are substantially undervalued at current levels.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

As I have generally discussed in the past, I do not have an opinion of the future direction of the market. There are currently a number of factors causing consternation among investors, such as rising interest rates, persistently high oil prices, a consumer that is showing signs of weakness, and a stock market that has been reasonably strong for the past two years. The market is a dynamic discounting mechanism that doesn't simply try to anticipate change; it tries to anticipate the anticipation of change. This process can often create a very volatile environment, like the one we are seeing today, when market participants are trying to digest many conflicting data points. While resolution of the issues surrounding the strength of the economy will certainly impact the near-term direction of the market and the stocks held in Janus Contrarian Fund, I have great confidence in the intrinsic value of the companies that make up the Fund. Again, I believe that conviction and patience are the keys to long-term investment success and the very attributes that are necessary to get through a difficult market environment.

I thank you for your continued investment in Janus Contrarian Fund.

16 Janus Core, Risk-Managed and Value Funds April 30, 2005



Janus Core Equity Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This core holding looks for companies that can deliver above-market returns with below-market risk.

Karen L. Reidy

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, Janus Core Equity Fund posted a solid gain of 4.11%, outpacing the S&P 500® Index's return of 3.28%. It was a volatile period, with stocks surging in late 2004 and then pulling back significantly in the first quarter of 2005. Thanks to our steadfast, bottom-up approach, we performed well relative to our benchmark during both the rally and the ensuing retreat.

Specifically, our holdings representing the healthcare equipment and services as well as leisure (hotels and restaurants) industries contributed to our outperformance. On the down side, underweight positions in the solid-performing utilities sector and in the food, beverage and tobacco sector held back our relative results.

Strategy in This Environment

After rallying on the heels of the U.S. presidential election in November 2004, stocks experienced a significant slowdown in the first quarter of 2005 due to two major pressures: uncertainty over interest rates and rising commodity prices.

As always, while we considered the impact to the Fund's holdings of important macroeconomic shifts and how they impacted our companies, we focused on the investment philosophy that has long driven our performance. Throughout the period, we continued to stay focused on our long-term goals, using a disciplined, bottom-up approach to uncover stalwart companies with staying power, reasonable valuations, and a higher-than-average capacity for growth.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, the Fund was 97.5% invested in equities, with foreign stocks accounting for 22.5% of total net assets. The Fund's 10 largest equity holdings represented 35.1% of its total net assets and we held a cash position of 2.5%.

The Fund's Strongest Gainers Included Health Insurers and Hotels

The Fund benefited from strong performance across a variety of market areas, including the healthcare equipment and services industry. For example, health insurer Aetna exceeded earnings expectations during the semiannual period. The company has shown its ability to turn things around under a relatively new management team. Led by President and CEO Jack Rowe, Aetna has enhanced its relationships with healthcare providers by overcoming the problems it had paying doctors and hospitals on time in previous years. In addition, the company has worked to combat fraudulent claims and increase profitability by keeping its subscriber base as healthy and as informed as possible.

Meanwhile, we continued to see strong performance from our lodging stocks, which enjoyed excellent returns both last year and during the first four months of 2005. You may recall that we began building our investments in lodging during the weak travel year that followed 9/11. We focused on well-run hotel chains with the strongest brands in order to be in a position to take full advantage of the recovery in both business and leisure travel that had ensued. On top of the industry's solid fundamentals, the dollar's decline against other currencies had bolstered the performance of Marriott International and Starwood Hotels & Resorts, which owns the popular Sheraton, Westin, and W hotel lines. Both Marriott and Starwood have a large presence in coastal cities and other destinations of choice for foreign travelers. In addition to the resurgence of the American business traveler, these foreign visitors helped drive demand for hotel rooms and associated daily rates.

Weighing on performance was Lear, a major supplier of automotive interiors to car manufacturers in the United States, Asia and Germany. With 50% of its business coming from the so-called "big three" U.S. automakers (DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motors, and General Motors – none of which are Fund holdings), Lear was hurt by these companies' cuts in production. GM in particular shook the entire market with its announcement of a steep decline in first-quarter profits. This news came as a shock considering that investors had been expecting a modest gain. Additionally, Lear was hurt by the upward trend in commodity inflation, which sent steel costs higher and cut into the company's profit margins. We consequently reduced our position in the stock while continuing to closely monitor developments at the company.

Meanwhile, retailer Best Buy hampered the Fund's semiannual return. The company's disappointing performance can be traced to two major factors. First, Best Buy underwent aggressive restructuring and initiated a new customer service program in 2004 – two fundamental developments that helped increase customer traffic but have not yet yielded improvements for Best Buy's operating margins. In addition, investors anticipated that this past holiday season would be the year for digital television and flat-screen units. Although sales were brisk, they did not measure up to expectations. As a result, Best Buy experienced a pause in the growth of its digital and flat-screen TV market shares.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

In terms of the Fund's positioning, we have maintained an overweight allocation relative to our benchmark in consumer discretionary names – a result of our substantial position in the lodging sector and in key media names like InterActiveCorp and Time Warner. We are also focusing to a certain degree on the technology sector, an area that we believe has some of the most attractive opportunities. However, it's important to point out that in a market whose recovery is now four years old, we believe general sector bets grow less effective and individual stock-picking becomes that much more critical.

Finally, I'd like to inform shareholders that effective May 1, 2005, the management of Janus Core Equity Fund will shift to new Portfolio Manager Minyoung Sohn. I've worked closely with Min over the last seven years and I believe he's one of the most talented investors I've known in my ten years in the business. I know Min and his team will continue to perform in-depth, fundamental analysis that leads to company investments with attractive valuations and strong potential for long-term growth. I'm proud to be able to say that Janus Core Equity Fund has outperformed 73% of its Lipper Large Cap Core Funds peer group (based on total returns) during my tenure* as Portfolio Manager. I thank you for the trust you've placed in me over the years.

Janus Growth and Income Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This more conservative growth fund combines historically consistent performers with higher-potential growth opportunities.

Minyoung Sohn

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

I am pleased to report that for the six months ended April 30, 2005, Janus Growth and Income Fund gained 5.66% versus a 3.28% return for its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index. The Russell 1000® Growth Index returned 1.14% for the same period.

Investment Philosophy and Strategy

The Fund is managed for shareholders in pursuit of longer-term financial objectives such as building a retirement nest egg, buying a home, or funding a college education. My goal is to deliver top-quartile returns while minimizing volatility. This is easier said than done – so what is my strategy? Conceptually, I think of the Fund as holding two buckets of stocks. The first bucket holds two-thirds to three-fourths of the Fund's total assets in what I call "core long-term holdings." These are companies that I believe have sustainable competitive advantages in one of several competencies, including product distribution (Fund examples include Pepsi and Yahoo!), research and development or product development (Exxon Mobil and Electronic Arts), or manufacturing (Procter & Gamble and Nokia). In other cases, these are companies that I believe have fundamentally advantaged business models such as Dell Computer and Amazon.com.

The Fund generally holds these stocks with a longer time horizon – two to five years – but in certain cases, I will sell companies with wide competitive moats if the industry fundamentals deteriorate. A good example of this is Anheuser-Busch ("Bud"). This company was among the top 10 holdings in the Fund at the beginning of 2004; and for good reason – it has approximately 50% market share of the domestic beer industry, which yields enormous scale benefits in manufacturing and advertising efficiency. Bud also wields considerable distribution advantages because the majority of its sales are executed by exclusive wholesalers. By comparison, competitors Miller and Coors are often sold under a shared house. Despite these advantages, I sold the entire position because our research suggested heightened competitive pressure in the beer industry as consumers have shifted to drinking more wine and spirits.

The Fund's second bucket of stocks is comprised of "special situations." This term includes situations where, in some cases, under a new management team, companies restructure their business portfolio to unlock potential value (Fund examples include Tyco and Marvel Enterprises); or opportunities where the market unfairly punishes a stock in reaction to an outside event American International Group ("AIG"); or situations where a company has a product-specific catalyst (American Micro Devices ("AMD") and Rockwell Automation). My investment time horizon for these stocks is generally shorter – 12 to 18 months – as I invest with the anticipation that these stocks may react to the realization of a specific catalyst.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, the Fund was 98.8% invested in equities, with foreign stocks accounting for 26.0% of total net assets. The Fund's 10 largest equity holdings represented 31.8% of its total net assets and we held a cash position of 1.2%.

Healthcare Services and Energy Were Strong Performers

Turning to exceptional individual performers during the semiannual period, Aetna and UnitedHealth Group continued to drive strong results. We believe that we are in a strong healthcare product and services cycle. In this environment both Aetna and UnitedHealth are benefiting from their ability to provide a wide range of innovative, consumer-driven healthcare services, such

as health savings accounts, which enable their employer-clients to offer healthcare to their employees in this period of rising costs.

Our energy holdings were also strong positive contributors to performance. I believe that oil and energy prices will remain high this year and next due to this tight market. Our oil supply and demand model suggests that increased energy demand from normal worldwide economic growth will eat into OPEC's spare production capacity.

The Fund's holdings in the energy sector include both "core" and "special situations." Exxon Mobil has an enormous resource base totaling over 72 billion barrels of oil equivalent; but more importantly, the company boasts the best record of investment discipline among its peers, resulting in the strongest record of returns on invested capital. EnCana, the largest producer of natural gas in North America, has an unparalleled land position in Canada with large, contiguous acreage which enables the company to engage in a low-risk development strategy of its resource plays. Suncor Energy is an investment in the potential of Canada's vast oil sands. This resource is mined at shallow depths or produced in situ in deeper areas. Consequently, although the oil sands are expensive to develop, they pose no exploration risk, and I believe these assets will become increasingly attractive in high oil price environment.

Select Holdings in Technology and Retail Negatively Impacted Performance

Advanced Micro Devices ("AMD") is one of the largest holdings in the Fund at approximately 3.1% of total assets. As I have written before, I remain enthusiastic about the company's prospects for its microprocessor business due to the opportunity in 64-bit (this includes dual core processing). Our work on AMD has been broad and deep. We have had numerous conversations with information technology purchasing managers, industry consultants, sales partners and supply chain partners to gain confidence that AMD's Opteron and Athlon 64 microprocessors are gaining acceptance in the marketplace. The stock has been weak this period, as earnings fell short of expectations due to continued weakness in the flash memory business. From a valuation perspective, I believe that AMD offers significant upside once the company establishes sustainable profitability in its strengthening microprocessor business.

Two of the Fund's retail holdings, Best Buy and PETsMART, were also negative contributors during the period. We believe Best Buy is well positioned to benefit from a strong product cycle in advanced and digital televisions over the next few years. The company should also capture benefits from a new customer-focused program called "Customer Centricity," which focuses on the most attractive customers, and a computer service operation called "Geek Squad." I'm confident that these initiatives, coupled with numerous cost savings efforts, should enable the company to deliver good earnings growth.

PETsMART is another retail concept, with favorable growth prospects in the $30+ billion pet supply and services industry, which is growing twice as fast as gross domestic product. Like Best Buy, we believe PETsMART is poised to benefit from internal productivity and merchandising initiatives as well as the roll-out of service offerings such as PetsHotel and Doggie Day Camp.

Closing Comments

I believe that this difficult market environment will continue to favor strong stock-picking. I welcome this challenge, as I am supported by a talented and growing analyst pool. My strategy is to stay the course by owning what I believe are the best companies, and opportunistically buying those which may have temporarily fallen out of favor.

Finally, I want you to know that a substantial portion of my discretionary investment dollars is invested alongside you in this Fund. I believe that adhering to a disciplined buying and selling approach will continue to reward us over time. I promise to you my utmost effort in the months and years ahead.

Thank you for your continued investment.

26 Janus Core, Risk-Managed and Value Funds April 30, 2005



Janus Research Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This fund pulls together the best ideas from Janus' research analysts into a single package.

  Team-Based Approach
  Led by Jim Goff,
  Director of Research

Investment Strategy

As the Director of Research at Janus, I'm pleased to provide the first overview of Janus Research Fund, which leverages one of the firm's most valuable assets – the sizeable, experienced and growing analyst staff. By tapping the best investment ideas from across the research team, we believe the Fund represents a core holding that benefits from our stock selection expertise while attempting to mitigate market risk through effective diversification.

While future letters will focus more on the Fund's performance – including what worked and what didn't – I'd like to take the opportunity to explain what makes this offering unique. I'll then touch on the Fund's returns during the brief period since the Fund's inception on February 25, 2005.

The philosophy behind the Fund is relatively simple: Each of Janus' analysts may recommend up to three stocks for inclusion, provided they've assigned a "buy" or "strong buy" rating on the holding. Before submitting a name for purchase, the analyst must communicate his or her idea to the rest of the team and subsequently respond to any questions or concerns. The analyst must also be prepared to defend the stock should it prove to be one of the Fund's largest detractors.

As Director of Research, I'm responsible for ensuring that each idea has been thoroughly researched, overseeing the day-to-day buy and sell orders, and monitoring sector weights to keep them within the Fund's guidelines.

To attempt to mitigate risks associated with significant sector bets, weightings will typically fall between 50% to 150% of the benchmark's sector allocations. To further diversify the Fund's assets, holdings will generally represent all market capitalizations and span all investment styles. Generally, the Fund will hold between 80-90 names, relatively equally balanced to dampen individual stock risks.

As Janus expects to cover 1,100 companies by the end of 2005, there should be no shortage of good ideas from our research team. By focusing on what we believe are the best prospects for the long haul, we hope to deliver Index-beating returns with relatively low risk.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, approximately 91.8% of the Fund's total net assets were invested in equities. Meanwhile, cash represented  8.2% of the Fund's total net assets. The top 10 equity holdings in the Fund accounted for 16.1% of total net assets.

Performance Overview

In its first several weeks of existence, the Fund endured a choppy market roiled by higher oil prices, rising interest rates and worries about an economic slowdown. For the two months ended April 30, 2005, the Fund lost 4.10% versus a loss of 4.01% for its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Index. Meanwhile, the Russell 3000® Index declined 4.43%.

Top 10 Equity Holdings – (% of Net Assets)

    April 30, 2005  
All America Latina Logistica     1.7 %  
JP Morgan Chase & Co.     1.6 %  
Western Oil Sands, Inc. - Class A     1.6 %  
Standard Chartered PLC     1.6 %  
Citigroup, Inc.     1.6 %  
Merrill Lynch & Company, Inc.     1.6 %  
MBIA, Inc.     1.6 %  
Suncor Energy, Inc.     1.6 %

Janus Core, Risk-Managed and Value Funds April 30, 2005 27



Janus Research Fund (unaudited)

Contributing to the Fund's slight underperformance versus the Russell 1000® Index were select holdings in diversified financials and utilities, which experienced setbacks during the period. However, aiding the Fund's returns were several well-chosen stocks in the technology hardware and equipment sector and select stocks in the healthcare equipment and services area.

Positive Contributors Included Biotechnology and Technology Holdings

The top-performing holding for the Fund was biopharmaceutical company Celgene. Despite the increasingly negative sentiment from investors about this area of the market, Celgene advanced on reports that its most promising drug, Revlimid, was shown to be effective in a Phase III trial for the treatment of multiple myeloma. This is in addition to the drug having already been shown efficacious in treating another blood-borne cancer, myelodysplastic syndrome.

Another holding that rallied was Corning, a leader in several technologies including glass for LCD screens and telecommunications fiber. There was skepticism around the firm's ability to maintain pricing as its customers were experiencing an over supply of LCD panels in the marketplace. Analyst Brad Slingerlend's checks at Corning's manufacturing plant, as well as with its competitors and customers, reaffirmed our belief in Corning's competitive barriers. This faith was rewarded as LCD panel volumes are recovering without the drastic price cuts that the market expected.

Select Financial and Pharmaceutical Holdings Were Among the Fund's Weaker Performers

On the other side of the ledger was credit card company MBNA. With historically low interest rates and continued strength in the home refinancing market, MBNA has been unable to grow credit card receivables and earnings as we had expected. This culminated in the company's disappointing first-quarter earnings results. We no longer had confidence that the company's unique affinity-based marketing strategy would afford MBNA the type of competitive advantage it had in the past. Given our questions surrounding the fundamental business model of MBNA, we could no longer view it as a highest-conviction investment idea appropriate for Janus Research Fund, and the position was sold.

Another weak performer was Forest Laboratories. The drugmaker struggled as the Food and Drug Administration denied its application to market its flagship Lexapro treatment for social anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Analyst Andy Acker believed the resulting price drop reflected a knee-jerk souring of investor sentiment as opposed to a deterioration of the company's long-term value, so we're holding on to ride out what we believe will prove to be a near-term dip.

Going forward, our analysts will continue to scour the market for good or improving businesses that we believe are selling at attractive prices relative to their growth prospects. We'll rely on our ever-deepening research effort to help us develop an information advantage for each and every stock we follow. We'll also continue to take a methodical approach to building and maintaining this Fund, which includes investing in what we believe are market leaders from a broad cross-section of the stock universe, thereby reducing potential risk factors.

Thank you for your investment in this innovative offering from Janus.

Fund Expenses

The example below shows you the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and allows you to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. Please refer to page 4 for a detailed explanation of the information presented in these charts.

Expense Example   Beginning Account Value
(2/25/05)
  Ending Account Value
(4/30/05)
  Expenses Paid During Period
(2/25/05-4/30/05)*
 
Actual   $ 1,000.00     $ 959.00     $ 2.18    
Hypothetical
(5% return before expenses)
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,006.68     $ 2.23    

 

*Expenses paid for the Fund reflect only the inception period (February 25, 2005 to April 30, 2005). Therefore, expenses shown are lower than would be expected for a six-month period. Expenses for the six-month period will be reflected in future reports. Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 1.25% multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 65/365 (to reflect the inception period). Expenses include the effect of contractual waivers by Janus Capital.

See "Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements."

The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the index. The index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Janus Capital Management LLC has contractually agreed to waive the Funds total operating expenses to levels indicated in the prospectus until at least March 1, 2006. Without such waivers, yields and total return would have been lower.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainty.

Janus Core, Risk-Managed and Value Funds April 30, 2005 31



Janus Risk-Managed Stock Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This core fund embraces the market's natural volatility in an attempt to deliver index-beating returns with index-like risk.

Managed by INTECH

Performance Overview

For the six months ended April 30, 2005, Janus Risk-Managed Stock Fund returned 7.05%. This compares to a 3.28% return posted by the S&P 500® Index, the Fund's benchmark.

Investment Strategy in This Environment

While fundamental analysis does not factor into our management of the Fund, fundamentals certainly have a significant impact on the general direction of the market in which we participate. The Fund's goal is to produce returns in excess of its benchmark with an equal or lesser amount of risk.

The Fund's mathematical investing process seeks to build a more efficient Fund than its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index. With a focus on risk management, investment decisions are governed by a mathematical investment process, which aims to deliver returns over and above the Index over the long term without assuming additional risk relative to the benchmark. This process does not attempt to predict the direction of the market, nor does it have a particular view of any company in the Fund.

Performance Review

Throughout the period, as stock prices naturally moved, we adjusted each comparable stock's weighting in the Fund in an attempt to keep the Fund more efficient than the Index, without increasing risk. While individual stock volatility was relatively low during the period, we believe there was adequate fluctuation overall to allow our process to work. We continued to implement the mathematical process in a disciplined manner during the period. While other factors may influence performance over the short term, we believe that the consistent application of our process may help the Fund perform over the long term.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

INTECH's mathematical, risk-managed investment process seeks to outperform the S&P 500® Index over the long term, while attempting to control risk. We will continue to implement the process in a disciplined and deliberate manner. As a result, the Fund may experience underperformance during shorter time periods, but has a goal of outperformance over a three- to five-year time period. While managing risk will remain essential to our investment process, we will continue to make marginal improvements to the mathematical process, seeking an efficient Fund that offers better long-term results than its benchmark regardless of the market's direction.

Thank you for your investment in Janus Risk-Managed Stock Fund.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Call 1-800-525-3713 or visit www.janus.com for performance current to the most recent month-end.

Fund Expenses

The example below shows you the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and allows you to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. Please refer to page 4 for a detailed explanation of the information presented in these charts.

Expense Example   Beginning Account Value
(11/1/04)
  Ending Account Value
(4/30/05)
  Expenses Paid During Period
(11/1/04-4/30/05)*
 
Actual   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,070.50     $ 4.57    
Hypothetical
(5% return before expenses)
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,020.38     $ 4.46    

 

*Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.89% multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses include the effect of contractual waivers by Janus Capital.

The proprietary mathematical process used by Enhanced Investment Technologies, LLC ("INTECH") may not achieve the desired results. Rebalancing techniques used may result in a higher portfolio turnover rate and higher expenses compared to a "buy and hold" or index fund strategy. This increases the likelihood of higher net taxable gains or losses for investors.

See "Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements."

INTECH is a subsidiary of Janus Capital Group Inc.

A 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 3 months or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.

The weighting of securities within the portfolio may differ significantly from the weightings within the index. The index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

There is no assurance the stated objective(s) will be met.

Lipper Inc. - A Reuters Company, is a nationally recognized organization that ranks the performance of mutual funds within a universe of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested.

The voluntary waiver of the Fund's management fee terminated 6/25/04. Without such waivers total returns from inception to 6/24/04 would have been lower.

Janus Mid Cap Value Fund (unaudited)

Managed by

Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell

and Company, LLC

Fund Snapshot

This fund seeks to uncover fundamentally strong mid-sized companies with a catalyst for growth not yet recognized by the market.

Performance Overview

During the six months ended April 30, 2005, Janus Mid Cap Value Fund – Investor Shares and Institutional Shares returned 5.32% and 5.38%, respectively, while its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index, returned 8.81%. The broader Russell Midcap® Index returned 6.81% for the same period.

The Fund's relative underperformance was hurt by our long-time substantial underweighting in utilities stocks, which were uncharacteristically strong in the period and are expensive. The weakest part of the portfolio was the automotive sector, which we've since reduced. Our cash reserves also hindered returns, as we continue to have difficulty finding stocks that fit our stringent investment criteria.

On the positive side, the Fund's positions in the energy and healthcare sectors – which consistently have been overweight the benchmark – were by far the largest contributors to our absolute performance. However, these overweightings were balanced by the fact that, despite doing very well, our holdings in these sectors did not keep pace with the benchmark's stocks within these groups. Thus, while our energy stocks appreciated nicely, as a group they trailed the performance of the energy stocks in the benchmark, which were led by refining stocks. Similarly, our strong gain in healthcare stocks was less than the rise in the benchmark's healthcare stocks.

Investment Strategy in this Environment

Our investment strategy of emphasizing stocks that have attractive risk/reward profiles remains unchanged. Monetary policy is tightening, the benefits of expansive fiscal policy are largely behind us, earnings comparisons are becoming more difficult and, after two years of unusually strong market gains, stocks are not cheap. We continue to have longer-term concerns about U.S. budget and trade deficits, geopolitical risks, and the leverage inherent in derivatives that could exacerbate any market imbalance. Given this background, we are even more sensitive to not stretching our investment discipline that has produced our positive long-term record.

Automotive and Employment Companies Held Back Results

Weak stocks in the portfolio included Lear, a company that focuses on automotive interiors, and Magna, a supplier of technologically advanced automotive components, both of which have been hurt by the downturn in the auto industry. Unfortunately, we believe their prospects have dimmed for the intermediate term because of difficult industry conditions. In addition, Lear exhibited more negative operating leverage than we had anticipated. We therefore reduced our positions in both stocks.

Although we generally view short-term price weakness as long-term opportunity, the stock market has not afforded us enough of those situations. However, one such opportunity that presented itself during the period was Manpower. Although there have been reductions in Manpower's near-term earnings expectations, we believe this employment services company has a superior balance sheet, cash flow and market position. We feel the stock now offers more upside potential than downside risk. We therefore added to our position in Manpower, which has become one of our larger holdings.

Top Performers Included Companies Targeted in Buyouts

Strong performers included companies that received acquisition bids. The acquisition trends observed earlier in 2004 continued into 2005. In late 2004 we benefited from the buyout of software company VERITAS, which was purchased at a significant

premium by Symantec. In the first few months of 2005, four other names in the Fund were acquired, including transportation company U.S. Freightways, retailer Toys "R" Us, software company SunGard Data and oil company Unocal. All of these buyouts were at stock prices at least 25% above our purchase prices. This activity validates our fundamental approach to investing in good companies selling at attractive valuations. Given a decent economy and corporate confidence, we believe merger and acquisition activity may continue to benefit the Fund.

Interestingly, among the strongest stocks in the Fund were Omnicare and McKesson, which were highlighted among the weakest performers in the previous six months. Omnicare is a provider of pharmaceuticals and related pharmacy services to long-term care institutions, while McKesson provides information and care management products to the healthcare industry. As we mentioned in our previous report, last year we used stock-price weakness in both companies as an opportunity to add to our positions, as we were focused on their long-term prospects, which we believed continued to be bright. Our long-term perspective was rewarded during this most recent six-month period and, in the case of McKesson, we significantly reduced our position as it approached our price objective. We believe our purchases of Manpower during the six-month period could have a similar positive result.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

We are increasingly seeing a blurring in the differentiation in valuation of growth and value stocks and large and small caps. Thus the average capitalization of the stocks in the portfolio continues to get somewhat larger and we see increasing relative value in fallen and undervalued growth stocks – SunGard Data provided a striking example in the first calendar quarter. But the primary message is that we will avoid stock labels and pursue value wherever we find it. Through this disciplined and opportunistic approach, we will strive to deliver strong long-term returns relative to our benchmark.

Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Mid Cap Value Fund.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Call 1-800-525-3713 or visit www.janus.com for performance current to the most recent month-end.

See Notes to Schedules of Investments for index definitions.

Total return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Berger Mid Cap Value Fund was reorganized into the Fund on April 21, 2003. The returns shown prior to April 21, 2003 for Janus Mid Cap Value Fund - Investor Shares are those of Berger Mid Cap Value Fund - Investor Shares. The returns shown prior to April 21, 2003 for Janus Mid Cap Value Fund - Institutional Shares are those of Berger Mid Cap Value Fund - Institutional Shares for the period May 17, 2002 to April 17, 2003 and Berger Mid Cap Value Fund - Investor Shares for periods prior to May 17, 2002.

Due to market volatility, the Fund may have an increased position in cash for temporary defensive purposes.

The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the index. The index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

This Fund is designed for long-term investors who can accept the special risks associated with value investing.

Janus Services has contractually agreed to waive the transfer agency fees payable by the Fund's Institutional Shares to the level indicated in the prospectus until at least March 1, 2006. Without such waivers, total return would have been lower.

Janus Capital Group Inc. has a 30% ownership stake in the investment advisory business of Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell and Company, LLC.

Lipper Inc. - A Reuters Company, is a nationally recognized organization that ranks the performance of mutual funds within a universe of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested.

Lipper ranking is for the Investor share class only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

Janus Small Cap Value Fund
(unaudited) (closed to new investors)

Managed by

Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell

and Company, LLC

Fund Snapshot

This fund searches for small, out-of-favor companies misunderstood by the broader investment community.

Performance Overview

The Fund slightly outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index, for the six months ended April 30, 2005. The Janus Small Cap Value Fund – Investor Shares and Institutional shares returned 1.94% and 2.05%, respectively, and the Index returned 1.52%. This time period, in many ways, offers a snapshot view of the Fund's past performance in different market environments. The Fund lagged the Russell 2000® Value Index by a fairly large margin during a very strong fourth quarter. We maintained our valuation discipline, sold stocks that reached our price targets and allowed our already historically high cash position to build because attractive risk/reward situations were scarce. The Fund was then less exposed to the market decline in the first quarter of 2005. Furthermore, our bottom-up approach, emphasizing balance sheet strength and cash flows, translated into a portfolio that was well positioned, as evidenced by the positive effects stock selection and group weightings had on our relative performance.

Investment Strategy in this Environment

Our investment strategy has not changed. We have been acutely sensitive to maintaining the investment disciplines that have produced our strong long-term record. Monetary policy is tightening, the benefits of expansive fiscal policy are largely behind us, earnings comparisons are becoming more difficult and after two years of unusually strong market gains, stocks are not cheap.

Contributors Included Energy and Healthcare Holdings

Over the last six months, the Fund's overweight position in energy helped, as it was one of the strongest sectors in the benchmark. Also, good stock selection within healthcare, particularly on the equipment and service side, translated into positive relative returns.

We continue to feel comfortable with our energy exposure. Of late, we have emphasized exploration and production stocks. While there may be more temporary price swings due to the volatility in underlying commodity prices, we have viewed weakness as an opportunity to add to positions that trade at discounts to our relatively conservative Net Asset Value ("NAV") estimates. On the service side, we took some profits in a few names as they reached our price targets.

Within healthcare, Steris Corporation, one of our top ten contributors, performed relatively well as the market seemed to be willing to afford a higher multiple to the shares, based on the growing influence of consumables within their business model. We viewed the strength in its stock price as an opportunity to take gains, and pared back our holdings. We will continue with this strategy if the stock moves higher. Also, Lifepoint Hospitals moved higher due to what should be an accretive acquisition of Province Healthcare, another Fund holding. Again, we took some profits here, as we felt much of the simple synergies were priced into the shares.

The largest percentage gain of any individual stock in the portfolio also came from the healthcare area. Accredo Health was acquired by Medco Health Solutions. The stock closed up almost 40% the day the deal was announced, and afforded the Fund about a 95% return for the six-month period. Benefits from merger and acquisition activity were not limited to healthcare, however. Select Fund holdings in the technology and transportation industries also gained as a result of being the targets of acquisitions. While we don't look for, or depend on buyouts as a basis for our performance, we do feel the fact that approximately 5%-10% of the portfolio has been targeted for buyouts, lends validity to our investment process.

Select Technology Companies Detracted from Performance

One area that showed particular weakness over the last six months was technology. The portfolio is closely weighted relative to our benchmark, and while we are very well diversified here, large price declines in Silicon Storage Technologies, Verity, and Foundry Networks resulted in underperformance. Like the rest of our technology holdings, these companies have cash-rich balance sheets and positive cash flows. These attributes should allow them to weather, what we feel is, a temporary lack of demand, and we have attempted to use these declines as an opportunity to lower our average cost per share. As always, we will try to take advantage by buying quality companies that we believe are mis-priced due to short-term problems.

Outlook

We are increasingly seeing a blurring in the differentiation in valuation of growth and value stocks. The primary message is that we will avoid labels and pursue value wherever we can find it within the small-cap space. Not deviating from this disciplined and opportunistic approach, we will strive to deliver above-average long-term returns relative to our benchmark.

Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Small Cap Value Fund.

Expense Example - Institutional Shares   Beginning Account Value
(11/1/04)
  Ending Account Value
(4/30/05)
  Expenses Paid During Period

Janus Capital Group Inc. has a 30% ownership stake in the investment advisory business of Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell and Company, LLC.

Due to market volatility, the Fund may have an increased position in cash for temporary defensive purposes.

The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the index. The index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Funds that emphasize investments in smaller companies may experience greater price volatility. This Fund is designed for long-term investors who can accept the special risks associated with value investing.

Janus Services has contractually agreed to waive the transfer agency fees payable by the Fund's Institutional Shares to the level indicated in the prospectus until at least March 1, 2006. Without such waivers total return would have been lower.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

The following section describes the organization and significant accounting policies and provides more detailed information about the schedules and tables that appear throughout this report. In addition, the Notes to Financial Statements explain the methods used in preparing and presenting this report.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Janus Balanced Fund, Janus Contrarian Fund (formerly named Janus Special Equity Fund), Janus Core Equity Fund, Janus Growth and Income Fund, Janus Research Fund, Janus Risk-Managed Stock Fund, Janus Mid Cap Value Fund and Janus Small Cap Value Fund (collectively the "Funds" and individually a "Fund") are series funds. The Funds are part of Janus Investment Fund (the "Trust"), which was organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company. The Trust has twenty-nine funds. Each of the Funds in this report is classified as diversified as defined in the 1940 Act, with the exception of Janus Contrarian Fund, which is classified as nondiversified. The Funds are no-load investments.

On April 21, 2003, Berger Small Cap Value Fund and Berger Mid Cap Value Fund (collectively the "Reorganizing Funds") participated in a tax-free reorganization with Janus Small Cap Value Fund and Janus Mid Cap Value Fund, respectively (collectively the "Value Funds"). Both the Reorganizing Funds and the Value Funds have Investor and Institutional Shares. The plan of reorganization provided for the transfer for assets and liabilities of the Reorganizing Funds to the Value Funds. The Value Funds were created to serve as "shells" for the transfer of net assets of the Reorganizing Funds. For accounting purposes, each Reorganizing Fund is considered the surviving entity, and the financial highlights shown for periods prior to April 30, 2003 are the financial highlights of the Reorganizing Funds. Subsequent to the reorganization, the Value Funds changed their fiscal year end from September 30 to April 30 and then to October 31.

Prior to April 21, 2003 Berger Mid Cap Value Fund was a series established under the Berger Investment Portfolio Trust, a Delaware business trust. Berger Small Cap Value Fund was the only portfolio established under the Berger Omni Investment Trust, a Massachusetts business trust. Berger Mid Cap Value Fund and Berger Small Cap Value Fund offered two separate classes of shares; Investor Shares and Institutional Shares. All classes of each fund had identical rights to earnings, assets and voting privileges. Effective March 31, 2000, both classes of Berger Small Cap Value Fund were closed to new investors. Berger Mid Cap Value Fund – Institutional Shares was also closed to new investors.

The following accounting policies have been consistently followed by the Funds and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the investment company industry.

Investment Valuation

Securities are valued at the closing price for securities traded on a principal securities exchange (U.S. or foreign) and on the NASDAQ National Market. Securities traded on over-the-counter 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 making a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by the Funds' Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Foreign securities and currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate in effect as of the daily close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). When market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, or events or circumstances that may affect the value of portfolio securities held by the Funds are identified between the closing of their principal markets and time the net asset value ("NAV") is determined, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the supervision of the Funds' Trustees. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value international equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and 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. 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. For any Fund with multiple classes, income, as well as gains and losses, both unrealized and realized, 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

Expenses 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. 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 of the Funds.

Janus Core, Risk-Managed and Value Funds April 30, 2005 67



Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Securities Lending

Under procedures adopted by the Trustees, the Funds may lend securities to qualified parties (typically brokers or other financial institutions) who need to borrow securities in order to complete certain transactions such as covering short sales, avoiding failures to deliver securities or completing arbitrage activities. The Funds' Trustees periodically review securities lending activities to monitor compliance with the securities lending procedures. The Funds may seek to earn additional income through securities lending. 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 Management LLC ("Janus Capital") makes efforts to balance the benefits and risks from granting such loans.

The Funds will not have the right to vote on securities while they are being lent, however, the Funds may attempt to call back the loan and vote the proxy. 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 or such other collateral permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The lending agent may also invest the cash collateral in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio or investments in unaffiliated money market funds or accounts, mutually agreed to by the Funds and the lending agent that complies with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act relating to money market funds.

As of April 30, 2005, the Funds had on loan securities valued as indicated:

Fund   Value at
April 30, 2005
 
Core      
Janus Balanced Fund   $ 365,660,645    
Janus Contrarian Fund     163,306,375    
Janus Core Equity Fund     37,196,170    
Janus Growth and Income Fund     394,939,585    
Value      
Janus Mid Cap Value Fund     292,140,320    
Janus Small Cap Value Fund     340,153,140    

 

As of April 30, 2005, the Funds received cash collateral for securities lending activity as indicated:

Fund   Cash Collateral at
April 30, 2005
 
Core      
Janus Balanced Fund   $ 375,293,953    
Janus Contrarian Fund     167,531,384    
Janus Core Equity Fund     38,729,044    
Janus Growth and Income Fund     407,921,603    
Value      
Janus Mid Cap Value Fund     299,125,466    
Janus Small Cap Value Fund     349,760,509    

 

All cash collateral received by the Funds was invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio except for Janus Mid Cap Value Fund which also invested $530,039 in U.S. Government Securities.

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 which 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 respective 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 borrower pays fees at the Funds' direction to its lending agent. The lending agent may retain a portion of the interest earned. The cash collateral invested by the lending agent is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The lending fees and the Funds' portion of the interest income earned on cash collateral is included on the Statement of Operations (if applicable).

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, there were no securities lending arrangements for Janus Research Fund and Janus Risk-Managed Stock Fund.

Interfund Lending

Pursuant to an exemptive order received from the SEC, each of the Funds may be party to an interfund lending agreement between the Funds and other Janus Capital sponsored mutual funds, which permit it to borrow or lend cash, at a rate beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Outstanding borrowings from all sources totaling 10% or more of a borrowing Fund's total assets must be collateralized at 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan; loans of less than 10% may be unsecured. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, there were no outstanding borrowing or lending arrangements for the Funds.

68 Janus Core, Risk-Managed and Value Funds April 30, 2005



Forward Currency Transactions

The Funds may enter into forward currency contracts in order to reduce their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings and to lock in the U.S. dollar cost of firm purchase and sale commitments for securities denominated in or exposed to foreign currencies. A forward currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. 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 or loss from foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations (if applicable).

Forward currency contracts held by the Funds are fully collateralized by other securities, which are denoted in the accompanying Schedule of Investments (if applicable). The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its market value equals or exceeds the current market value of the corresponding forward currency contracts.

Foreign Currency Translations

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from 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 on investments and foreign currency translation 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 security transactions and income.

Foreign-denominated assets and forward currency contracts may involve more risks than domestic transactions, including currency risk, political and economic risk, regulatory risk and market 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.

Futures Contracts

The Funds may enter into futures contracts. The Funds intend to use such derivative instruments primarily to hedge or protect from adverse movements in securities prices, currency rates or interest rates. In addition, Janus Risk-Managed Stock Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to the stock market pending investment of cash balances or to meet liquidity needs. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying securities, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations.

Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, and the daily variation margin is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When a contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. Generally, futures contracts are marked-to-market (i.e., treated as realized and subject to distribution) for federal income tax purposes at fiscal year-end. Securities designated as collateral for market value on futures contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. Such collateral is in the possession of the Funds' custodian.

When-issued Securities

The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Funds may hold liquid assets as collateral with the Funds' custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price. As of April 30, 2005, there were no Funds invested in when-issued securities.

Initial Public Offerings

The Funds may invest in initial public offerings ("IPOs"). IPOs and other investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on a fund with a small asset base. The Funds may not experience similar performance as their assets grow.

Additional Investment Risk

The Funds, particularly Janus Balanced Fund, may be invested in lower-rated debt securities that have a higher risk of default or loss of value because of changes in the economy, political environment, or adverse developments specific to the issuer.

Restricted Security Transactions

Restricted securities held by a Fund may not be sold except in exempt transactions or in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933. 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 a 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.

Dividend Distributions

Dividends for Janus Balanced Fund and Janus Growth and Income Fund are declared and distributed quarterly, and

Janus Core, Risk-Managed and Value Funds April 30, 2005 69



Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

capital gains (if any) are distributed annually. The remaining Funds generally declare and distribute dividends and capital gains (if any) annually. The majority of dividends and capital gains distributions from a Fund will be automatically reinvested into additional shares of that Fund.

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.

Federal Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Funds intend to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.

Indemnifications

Under the Funds' organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

As compensation for its services, Perkins receives, directly from each Value Fund, a fee equal to 50% of Janus Capital's management fee (net of any reimbursement of expenses incurred or fees waived by Janus Capital). Janus Capital has a 30% ownership stake in Perkins' investment advisory business.

Janus Services LLC ("Janus Services"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, receives an administrative services fee at an annual rate of up to 0.05% of the average daily net assets of Janus Risk-Managed Stock Fund, Janus Mid Cap Value Fund and Janus Small Cap Value Fund for providing or procuring recordkeeping, subaccounting and other administrative services to the investors.

Each of the Funds pays Janus Services an asset-weighted average annual fee based on the proportion of each of the Fund's total net assets sold directly and the proportion of each Fund's net assets sold through financial intermediaries. The applicable fee rates are 0.16% of net assets on the proportion of assets sold directly and 0.21% on the proportion of assets sold through intermediaries. In addition, Janus Services receives $4.00 per open shareholder account (excluding Janus Mid Cap Value Fund - Institutional Shares and Janus Small Cap Value Fund) for transfer agent services plus reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses (primarily postage and telephone charges).

By written agreement, Janus Services has agreed until March 1, 2006 to waive the transfer agency fee payable so that the total operating expenses (excluding extraordinary expenses) by the Institutional Shares of Janus Mid Cap Value Fund and Janus Small Cap Value Fund does not exceed 0.77% and 0.79%, respectively.

Until at least March 1, 2006, provided that Janus Capital remains investment adviser to the Funds, Janus Capital has agreed to reimburse the Janus Research Fund by the amount, if any, that such Fund's normal operating expenses in any fiscal year, including the investment advisory fee, but excluding the brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, exceeds the annual rate of 1.25%. Janus Capital is not entitled to recoup such reimbursements or fee reductions from the Fund. If applicable, amounts reimbursed to the Fund

by Janus Capital are disclosed as Excess Expense Reimbursement on the Statement of Operations.

A 2.00% redemption fee may be imposed on shares of the Janus Risk-Managed Stock Fund held for three months or less. This fee is paid to the Fund rather than Janus Capital, and is designed to deter excessive short-term trading and to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with changes in the Funds' asset level and cash flow due to short-term money movements in and out of the Funds. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to Paid-in Capital. Total redemption fees received by Janus Risk-Managed Stock Fund were $35,678 for the six-month period ended April 30, 2005.

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, Janus Services reimbursed Janus Balanced Fund, Janus Contrarian Fund, Janus Growth and Income Fund, Janus Mid Cap Value Fund – Investor Shares, Janus Mid Cap Value Fund – Institutional Shares, Janus Small Cap Value Fund – Investor Shares and Janus Small Cap Value Fund – Institutional Shares $14,243, $564, $791, $46,036, $242, $98,018 and $6,485, respectively, as a result of dilutions caused by incorrectly processed shareholder activity.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, Janus Capital assumed $3,084 of legal, consulting and Trustee costs and fees incurred by the funds in Janus Investment Fund, Janus Aspen Series and Janus Adviser Series ("Portfolios") in connection with the regulatory and civil litigation matters discussed in Note 6. These non-recurring costs were allocated to all Portfolios based on the Portfolios' respective net assets at July 31, 2004. Additionally, all future non-recurring costs will be allocated based on the Portfolio's respective net assets at July 31, 2004. These non-recurring costs and offsetting waiver are shown on the Statement of Operations. The effect of non-recurring costs was de minimis.

Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds may also be officers and/or directors of Janus Capital; however, such officers and Trustees receive no compensation from the Funds.

The Funds' expenses may be reduced by expense offsets from an unaffiliated custodian. Such offsets are included in Expense and Fee Offsets on the Statement of Operations. Custody credits received reduce Custodian Fees. The Funds could have employed the assets used by the custodian to produce income if it had not entered into an expense offset arrangement.

The Funds may invest in money market funds, including funds managed by Janus Capital. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the following Funds recorded distributions from affiliated investment companies as affiliated dividend income, and had the following affiliated purchases and sales:

4. FEDERAL INCOME TAX

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.

The Funds have elected to treat gains and losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts as capital gains and losses. Other foreign currency gains and losses on debt instruments are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investment securities for federal income tax purposes as of April 30, 2005 are noted below.

Unrealized appreciation and unrealized depreciation in the table below exclude appreciation/(depreciation) on foreign currency translations. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of investments is wash sale loss deferrals.

6. LEGAL MATTERS

In September 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC'') and the Office of the New York State Attorney General ("NYAG'') publicly announced that they were investigating trading practices in the mutual fund industry. The investigations were prompted by the NYAG's settlement with a hedge fund, Canary Capital, which allegedly engaged in irregular trading practices with certain mutual fund companies. While Janus Capital was not named as a defendant in the NYAG complaint against the hedge fund, Janus Capital was mentioned in the complaint as having allowed Canary Capital to "market time'' certain Janus funds, allegedly in contradiction to policies stated in prospectuses for certain Janus funds.

Subsequent to the announcements by the SEC and the NYAG, the Colorado Attorney General ("COAG'') and the Colorado Division of Securities announced that they were each initiating investigations into Janus Capital's mutual fund trading practices. On August 18, 2004, Janus Capital announced that it had reached final settlements with the NYAG, the COAG, the Colorado Division of Securities and the SEC related to such regulators' investigations into Janus Capital's frequent trading arrangements.

A number of civil lawsuits were also brought against Janus Capital and certain of its affiliates, the Janus funds, and related entities and individuals based on allegations similar to those contained in the NYAG complaint against Canary Capital. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories for recovery including, but not limited to the federal securities laws, other federal statutes (including ERISA) and various common law doctrines.

These "market timing" lawsuits were filed in a number of state and federal jurisdictions. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has finally or conditionally transferred all but one of these actions to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for coordinated proceedings. On September 29, 2004, five consolidated amended complaints were filed in that court. These complaints are the operative complaints in the coordinated proceedings and, as a practical matter, supersede the previously filed complaints. The five complaints include: (i) claims by a putative class of investors in the Janus funds asserting claims on behalf of the investor class; (ii) derivative claims by investors in the Janus funds ostensibly on behalf of the Janus funds; (iii) claims on behalf of participants in the Janus 401(k) plan; (iv) claims brought on behalf of shareholders of JCG on a derivative basis against the Board of Directors of JCG; and (v) claims by a putative class of shareholders of JCG asserting claims on behalf of the shareholders. Each of the five complaints name JCG and/or Janus Capital as a defendant. In addition, the following are named as defendants in one or more of the actions: Janus Investment Fund ("JIF"), Janus Aspen Series ("JAS"), Janus Adviser Series ("JAD"), Janus Distributors LLC, Enhanced Investment Technologies LLC ("INTECH"), Bay Isle, Perkins Wolf McDonnell and Company LLC ("Perkins"), the Advisory Committee of the Janus 401(k) plan, and the current or former directors of JCG.

In early 2005, a lawsuit was filed in the State of Kansas alleging violations under Kansas law based on Janus Capital's involvement in the market timing allegations. Also, the Attorney General's Office for the State of West Virginia recently filed a market timing related civil action against Janus Capital and several other non-affiliated mutual fund companies, claiming violations under the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act. The civil action requests certain monetary penalties, among other relief.

In addition to the "market timing'' actions described above, three civil lawsuits were filed against Janus Capital challenging the investment advisory fees charged by Janus Capital to certain Janus funds. One such lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed. The remaining two lawsuits are currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. On January 31, 2005, the court entered an order granting a joint motion to consolidate the cases and allowing the consolidated amended complaint filed with the motion. The consolidated amended complaint is the operative complaint in the coordinated proceedings. The complaint asserts claims under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

A lawsuit was also filed against Janus Capital and certain affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado alleging that Janus Capital failed to ensure that certain Janus funds participated in securities class action settlements for which the funds were eligible. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 36(a), 36(b) and 47(b) of the Investment Company Act, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence.

Additional lawsuits may be filed against certain of the Janus funds, Janus Capital and related parties in the future. Janus Capital does not currently believe that these pending actions will materially affect its ability to continue providing services it has agreed to provide to the Funds.

On March 16, 2005, Bay Isle received a document request in connection with the SEC's informal inquiry into issues raised by the SEC staff in a deficiency letter resulting from a routine examination of Bay Isle in March 2004. Bay Isle is in the process of responding to such request. In addition, the SEC examination of Janus Capital commenced in September 2003 remains open.

Approval of Advisory Agreements During the Period

The Trustees of Janus Investment Fund, more than eighty-five percent of whom have never been affiliated with Janus Research Fund's (the "New Fund") adviser ("Independent Trustees"), considered the proposed investment advisory agreement for the New Fund. In the course of their consideration of the agreement the Independent Trustees met in executive session and were advised by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by Janus Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser") in response to requests of the Trustees and their counsel. They also received and reviewed a considerable amount of information provided to the Trustees by their independent fee consultant. Based on their evaluation of that information and other information, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, at a meeting held on December 2, 2004, approved the investment advisory agreement for the New Fund for a period through July 1, 2006.

In considering the agreements and reaching their conclusions, the Trustees reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described as follows.

1. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

The Trustees' analysis of the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services to the New Fund took into account the investment objective and strategy of the New Fund and the knowledge of the Trustees gained from the Trustees' regular meetings with management throughout the prior year. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the Adviser's resources and key personnel, especially those who would be providing investment management services to the New Fund. The Trustees also considered other services to be provided to the New Fund by the Adviser, such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, serving as the New Fund's administrator, monitoring adherence to the New Fund's investment restrictions, producing shareholder reports, providing support services for the Trustees and Trustee committees and overseeing the activities of other service providers, including monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities laws and regulations. The Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the New Fund were appropriate and consistent with the terms of the respective proposed advisory agreements and that the New Fund was likely to benefit from services provided under its agreement with the Adviser. They also concluded that the quality of the Adviser's services to the other Janus funds had been consistent with or superior to quality norms in the industry and that the Adviser had sufficient personnel, with the appropriate education and experience, to serve the New Fund effectively and had demonstrated its continuing ability to attract and retain well qualified personnel.

The Trustees also reviewed the response of the Adviser to various legal and regulatory proceedings since the fall of 2003.

2. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED

The Trustees examined the fee information and expense for the New Fund in comparison to information for other comparable funds as provided by Lipper Inc. They noted that both the rate of investment advisory fee and the estimated expense ratio for the New Fund (giving effect to the Adviser's contractual expense waiver agreement through at least March 1, 2006) were below both the median and the mean advisory fees and the expense ratios, respectively, for the respective groups of comparable funds.

The Trustees considered the methodology used by the Adviser in determining compensation payable to portfolio managers and the competition for investment management talent, and they also considered the competitive market for mutual funds in different distribution channels.

76 Janus Core, Risk-Managed and Value Funds April 30, 2005



The Trustees had also reviewed the Adviser's management fees for its institutional separate accounts and for its subadvised funds (funds for which the Adviser provides portfolio management services only). In most instances sub-advisory and institutional separate account fees are lower than the New Fund's management fee. However, the Trustees noted that the Adviser performs significant additional services for the New Fund that it does not provide to those other clients, including administrative services, oversight of the New Fund's other service providers, trustee support, regulatory compliance and numerous other services. The Trustees had also considered the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates of their relationships with the other Janus Funds in connection with their consideration of the advisory agreements for those funds and had found the profitability not to be unreasonable.

Finally, the Trustees considered the financial condition of the Adviser, which they found to be sound.

The Trustees concluded that the management fees and other compensation to be paid by the New Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services to be provided, taking into account the fees charged by other advisers for managing comparable mutual funds with similar strategies and the fees the Adviser charges to other clients, and that the estimated overall expense ratio of the New Fund, taking into account the expense limitations agreed to by the Adviser, was comparable to or more favorable than the mean or median expense ratio of its peers.

3. BENEFITS DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NEW FUND

The Trustees also considered benefits that would accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the New Fund. The Trustees recognized that two affiliates of the Adviser would serve the New Fund as transfer agent and distributor and that the transfer agent would receive compensation from the New Fund for its services to the New Fund. The Trustees also considered the Adviser's use of commissions to be paid by the New Fund on their portfolio brokerage transactions to obtain proprietary research products and services benefiting the New Fund and/or other clients of the Adviser and the Adviser's agreement not to use the New Fund's portfolio brokerage transactions to obtain third party research through brokers. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser's use of "soft" commission dollars to obtain proprietary research products and services was consistent with regulatory requirements and would benefit the New Fund. The Trustees concluded that, other than the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates pursuant to the proposed agreements and the fees to be paid by the New Fund therefor, the New Fund and the Adviser may potentially benefit from their relationship with each other in other ways. They concluded that the Adviser would benefit from the receipt of proprietary research products and services to be acquired through commissions paid on portfolio transactions of the New Fund and that the New Fund would benefit from the Adviser's receipt of those products and services as well as research products and services acquired through commissions paid by other clients of the Adviser. They also concluded that success of the New Fund could attract other business to the Adviser or its other funds and that the success of the Adviser could enhance the Adviser's ability to serve the New Fund.

After full consideration of the above factors as well as other factors, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that approval of the New Fund's agreement was in the best interest of the New Fund and its shareholders.

1. PERFORMANCE OVERVIEWS

Performance overview graphs compare the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each Fund (from inception) with one or more widely used market indices. The hypothetical example does not represent the returns of any particular investment.

When comparing the performance of a Fund with an index, keep in mind that market indices do not include brokerage commissions that would be incurred if you purchased the individual securities in the index. They also do not include taxes payable on dividends and interest or operating expenses incurred if you maintained a Fund invested in the index.

Average annual total returns are also quoted for each Fund and each class of the Value Funds. 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 any dividends, distributions and capital gains, 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.

2. SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS

Following the performance overview section is each Fund's Schedule of Investments. This schedule reports the industry concentrations and types of securities held in each Fund on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are usually listed by type (common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. Government obligations, etc.) and by industry classification (banking, communications, insurance, etc.). Holdings are subject to change without notice.

The value of each security is quoted as of the last day of the reporting period. The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies is converted into U.S. dollars. Certain short-term investments maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Funds that invest in foreign securities also provide a summary of investments by country. This summary reports the Fund's exposure to different countries by providing the percentage of securities invested in each country. The country of each security represents the country in which the company is incorporated.

2A. FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS

A table listing forward currency contracts follows each Fund's Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Forward currency contracts are agreements to deliver or receive a preset amount of currency at a future date. Forward currency contracts are used to hedge against foreign currency risk in the Fund's long-term holdings. The table provides the name of the foreign currency, the settlement date of the contract, the amount of the contract, the value of the currency in U.S. dollars and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the change in currency exchange rates from the time the contract was opened to the last day of the reporting period.

2B. FUTURES

A table listing futures contracts follows each Fund's Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Futures contracts are contracts that obligate the buyer to receive and the seller to deliver an instrument or money at a specified price on a specified date. Futures are used to hedge against adverse movements in securities prices, currency risk or interest rates.

The table provides the name of the contract, number of contracts held, the expiration date, the principal amount, value and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the marked-to-market amount for the last day of the reporting period.

3. STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

This statement is often referred to as the "balance sheet." It lists the assets and liabilities of the Funds on the last day of the reporting period.

The Funds' assets are calculated by adding the value of the securities owned, the receivable for securities sold but not yet settled, the receivable for dividends declared but not yet received on stocks owned and the receivable for Fund shares sold to investors but not yet settled. The Funds' liabilities include payables for securities purchased but not yet settled, Fund shares redeemed but not yet paid and expenses owed but not yet paid. Additionally, there may be other assets and liabilities such as unrealized gain or loss on forward currency contracts.

The section entitled "Net Assets Consist of" breaks down the components of the Funds' net assets. Because Funds must distribute substantially all earnings, you'll 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 for each Fund and each class of the Value Funds. The NAV is calculated by dividing the Funds' net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding.

4. STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

This statement details the Funds' income, expenses, gains and losses on securities and currency transactions, and appreciation or depreciation of current Fund holdings.

78 Janus Core, Risk-Managed and Value Funds April 30, 2005



The first section in this statement, entitled "Investment Income," reports the dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the Funds.

The next section reports the expenses incurred by the Funds, including the advisory fee paid to the investment adviser, transfer agent fees and expenses, and printing and postage for mailing statements, financial reports and prospectuses. Expense offsets, if any, are also shown.

The last section lists the increase or decrease in the value of securities held in the Funds. Funds realize a gain (or loss) when they sell their position in a particular security. An unrealized gain (or loss) refers to the change in net appreciation or depreciation of the Funds during the period. "Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) on Investments" is affected both by changes in the market value of Fund holdings and by gains (or losses) realized during the reporting period.

5. STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

This statement reports the increase or decrease in the Funds' net assets during the reporting period. Changes in the Funds' net assets are attributable to investment operations, dividends, distributions and capital share transactions. This is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the Funds' net asset size to change during the period.

The first section summarizes the information from the Statement of Operations regarding changes in net assets due to the Funds' investment performance. The Funds' net assets may also change as a result of dividend and capital gains distributions to investors. If investors receive their dividends in cash, money is taken out of the Fund to pay the distribution. If investors reinvest their dividends, the Funds' net assets will not be affected. If you compare each Fund's "Net Decrease from Dividends and Distributions" to the "Reinvested dividends and distributions," you'll notice that dividend distributions had little effect on each Fund's net assets. This is because the majority of Janus investors reinvest their distributions.

The reinvestment of dividends is included under "Capital Share Transactions." "Capital Shares" refers to the money investors contribute to the Funds through purchases or withdrawals via redemptions. The "Redemption Fees" refers to the fee paid to the Funds for shares held for three months or less by a shareholder. The Funds' net assets will increase and decrease in value as investors purchase and redeem shares from the Funds.

6. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

This schedule provides a per-share breakdown of the components that affect the Funds' NAV for current and past reporting periods for each Fund and each class of the Value Funds. Not only does this table provide you with total return, it also reports total distributions, asset size, expense ratios and portfolio turnover rate.

The first line in the table reflects the NAV per share at the beginning of the reporting period. The next line reports the net investment income per share, which comprises dividends and interest income earned on securities held by the Funds. Following is the total of gains/(losses), realized and unrealized. Dividends and distributions are then subtracted to arrive at the NAV per share at the end of the period.

The next line reflects the average annual total return reported the last day of the period.

Also included are the expense ratios, or the percentage of net assets that were used to cover operating expenses during the period. Expense ratios vary across the Funds for a number of reasons, including the differences in management fees, the average shareholder account size, the frequency of dividend payments and the extent of foreign investments, which entail greater transaction costs.

The Funds' expenses may be reduced through expense reduction arrangements. These arrangements may include the use of uninvested cash balances earning interest, or balance credits. The Statement of Operations reflects total expenses before any such offset, the amount of offset and the net expenses. The expense ratios listed in the Financial Highlights reflect total expenses prior to any expense offsets (gross expense ratio) and after the expense offsets (net expense ratio). Both expense ratios reflect expenses after waivers (reimbursements), if applicable.

The ratio of net investment income/(loss) summarizes the income earned less expenses divided by the average net assets of a Fund during the reporting period. Don't confuse this ratio with a Fund's yield. The net investment income ratio is not a true measure of a Fund's yield because it doesn't take into account the dividends distributed to the Fund's investors.

The next ratio is the portfolio turnover rate, which measures the buying and selling activity in a Fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the asset size of a Fund, the nature of the Fund's investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager. A 100% rate implies that an amount equal to the value of the entire portfolio is turned over in a year; a 50% rate means that an amount equal to the value of half the portfolio is traded in a year; and a 200% rate means that an amount equal to the value of the portfolio is traded every six months.

Janus provides access to a wide range of investment disciplines.

Growth

Janus growth funds focus on companies believed to be the leaders in their respective industries, with solid management teams, expanding market share, margins and efficiencies.

Core

Janus core funds seek investments in more stable and predictable companies. These funds look for a strategic combination of steady growth and for certain funds, some degree of income.

Risk-Managed

Janus risk-managed funds seek to outperform their respective indices while maintaining a risk profile equal to or lower than the index itself. Managed by INTECH, these funds use a mathematical process in an attempt to build a more "efficient" portfolio than
the index.

Value

Janus value funds invest in companies they believe are poised for a turnaround or are trading at a significant discount to fair value. The goal is to gain unique insight into a company's true value and identify and evaluate potential catalysts that may unlock
shareholder value.

International & Global

Janus international and global 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.

Bond & Money Market

Janus bond funds attempt to provide less risk relative to equities while seeking to deliver a competitive total return through high current income and appreciation.

Dear Shareholder,

Having served as Janus' Chief Investment Officer for full a year now, it seems an appropriate time to assess the progress we've made for our shareholders over the past 12 months.

Report Card

In my first letter to Janus shareholders last April, I spoke about our collective efforts to expand our coverage of stocks, improve our risk-management discipline and foster additional collaboration between portfolio managers and analysts.

I am pleased to report that we have made significant progress on all three fronts, and would like to share details with you.

First, we hired eight new equity analysts this past year, which brings the total equity analyst team to 36. On the fixed-income side, we hired three new credit analysts. The expanded research staff has enabled Janus to increase its coverage of domestic and international stocks, with the goal of keeping the portfolios fresh with current ideas.

Second, we improved our risk-management oversight by creating the position of Director of Risk Management and Performance, a role recently filled by Daniel Scherman, who brings with him more than 20 years of experience in the investment management industry. While Janus' heritage is built on a willingness to invest with conviction when we believe we have a research edge, adding this additional layer of risk oversight should ensure that exposures, whether intended or not, are properly analyzed.

The third initiative on which we have made progress is enhancing the quality of debate and dialogue within the investment team, which is a critical, yet intangible component of any successful investment management organization. There are multiple venues available for portfolio managers and analysts to come together and discuss or review key stocks in the news or new buy recommendations. The senior analysts that lead the global sector teams play an important part in driving this dialogue with the portfolio managers, resulting in a more robust exchange of ideas.

Also noteworthy is the contribution our team of 12 research associates has made to our overall research effort. Created two years ago, the team continues to make solid contributions by uncovering real-time demand trends in the marketplace in key consumer categories, ranging from travel and lodging to online music and wireless communications.

While we're pleased with our accomplishments to date, these and other initiatives would be irrelevant if there was no concurrent improvement in relative fund performance. In that regard, I am pleased to report a significant improvement in the relative performance of a number of our funds, as described below.

Performance

As of April, 30, 2005, 73% of Janus growth and core funds ranked in Lipper's top two quartiles for the one- and three-year periods, based on total returns. Longer-term relative performance is also impressive, with 100% of our growth and core funds ranking in Lipper's top two quartiles for the life-of-fund periods.

In my opinion, the improvement in relative performance for many of our funds tells me that our research effort continues to set us apart from our peers and that the portfolios are well positioned to outperform in all types of markets. The investment team is working together to ensure that, in its view, the most compelling risk/reward stocks are properly positioned in the portfolios.

New Fund Offerings

We are very excited to bring our investors two new mutual funds, which were launched this past winter: Janus Triton Fund and Janus Research Fund. Janus Triton Fund, managed by Ron Sachs, outpaced its benchmark index since inception (the two-month period ended April 30, 2005). We attribute these results to the success that Ron and team have had uncovering promising investment ideas in the small- and mid-cap growth space.

Gary Black

President and Chief
Investment Officer

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Continued

Janus Research Fund is a unique collection of the top picks of each analyst at Janus, thereby resulting in a diversified, multicap portfolio of both growth and value stocks. It, too, is backed by a solid research effort, and by focusing on what we believe are the best prospects for the long haul, we hope to deliver Index-beating returns with relatively low risks.

Market Review and Outlook

After hitting 31/2 year highs in early March, equity markets encountered stiff headwinds in late-March and April. Record-high oil prices, sluggish retail sales, falling consumer confidence, and slowing earnings growth all conspired to stymie the markets.

General Motors' announcement in mid-March that it has scaled back its earnings expectations for the remainder of 2005 was a clear sign that higher oil prices and rising interest rates were finally having a negative impact on consumer spending. Subsequent updates by Wal-Mart, Harley-Davidson and IBM provided further confirmation of a slightly softer macroeconomic environment as the second quarter unfolded.

It appears that two opposing opinions have crystallized regarding the near-term outlook for the economy. One camp is forecasting a deceleration in the economy due to the lagging effect of higher energy prices and rising interest rates. This group is projecting that gross domestic product (GDP) growth will slow to 2% in the second half of the year.

The other camp argues that the U.S. economy is better equipped to handle higher energy prices and interest rates when compared to the 1980s, and what we may be witnessing in the current volatile market is the handoff in spending from consumers to businesses.

Taking a step back from the day-to-day noise of the markets, the most likely scenario to unfold will be that the economy continues to grow at an acceptable rate given this stage of the business cycle. While it is reasonable to expect some moderation in economic growth as the business cycle matures, we do not think that GDP growth will decelerate markedly in the second half of the year.

In support of that view, it is important to note that unemployment is declining, business spending is improving, merger and acquisition activity is picking up, jobs are still being created, and corporate earnings generally have been reasonable.

Risks to economic growth are well known – rising energy prices, eroding consumer confidence, job cuts, reduced business spending, and higher interest rates. We believe these concerns will likely remain in the forefront of the market for the near term.

While all investors get impatient with sideways markets, we at Janus believe that the market will always reward superior business models with improving fundamental outlooks. Our job is to identify those companies that are winning in the marketplace and own them in your funds.

Thank you for your confidence and trust.

Sincerely,

Gary Black
President and Chief Investment Officer

Janus Contrarian Fund, Janus Overseas Fund, Janus Global Technology Fund and Janus Orion Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets which may lead to greater price volatility.

A fund's performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with non-diversification, investments in foreign securities, non-investment grade debt securities, undervalued companies or companies with a relatively small market capitalization. Please see a Janus prospectus for more detailed information.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

Growth and value investing each have their own unique risks and potential for rewards, and may not be suitable for all investors. A growth investing strategy typically carries a higher risk of loss and a higher potential for reward than a value investing strategy. A growth investing strategy emphasizes capital appreciation; a value investing strategy emphasizes investments in companies believed to be undervalued.

Useful Information About Your Fund Report

Portfolio Manager Commentaries

The portfolio manager commentaries in this report include valuable insight from the portfolio managers as well as statistical information to help you understand how your fund's performance and characteristics stack up against those of comparable indices.

Please keep in mind that the opinions expressed by the portfolio managers in their commentaries are just that: opinions. The commentary is a reflection of the portfolio manager's best judgment at the time this report was compiled, which was April 30, 2005. As the investing environment changes, so could the portfolio managers' opinions. These views are unique to each manager and aren't necessarily shared by their fellow employees or by Janus in general.

Fund Expenses

We believe it's important for our shareholders to have a clear understanding of fund expenses and the impact they have on investment return.

The following is important information regarding each Fund's Expense Example, which appears in each Fund's Portfolio Manager Commentary within this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for each Fund.

Example

As a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees (and any related exchange fees), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six-month period from November 1, 2004 to April 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table in each example provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table in each example provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. This is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

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

Janus Global Opportunities Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

As one of our newer funds, this fund gives investors direct access to the broad-range of Janus' relentless research.

Jason Yee

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

Janus Global Opportunities Fund returned 5.61% for the semiannual period ended April 30, 2005. By comparison, the Fund's benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World IndexSM, returned 5.70%.

The slight underperformance of the Fund versus the Index was primarily due to lackluster results during the period from some of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology holdings. The Fund's performance was also tempered by the negative contribution of our Bermuda-based holdings. Contributing to the Fund's gains, however, were the strong results of a number of our picks within the media sector. From a geographic standpoint, Japan was the strongest contributor during the period.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, the majority of the Fund's total net assets were invested in foreign companies, representing 56.4% of total net assets, while 36.3% of the Fund's total net assets were invested in domestic companies. Meanwhile, its cash position was 7.3%. The Fund's top 10 equity holdings as of April 30, 2005, accounted for 38.7% of total net assets.

Top Performers Included Media and Healthcare Companies

Radio broadcaster Nippon Broadcasting was a major contributor to performance after becoming the subject of a rare takeover battle in Japan. The stock gained sharply in response to the competing bids – one from Fuji Television and another from Internet company Livedoor – and ultimately reached our price target in the process. As a result, I promptly sold the position.

Hospital operator Health Management Associates was able to overcome the negative sentiment currently hanging over the hospital industry to trade higher. The bad debt issues facing much of the industry have begun to improve, which should allow the clouds surrounding the company and its peers to dissipate. Meanwhile, the prospects for non-urban hospitals, such as those operated by Health Management Associates, continue to be attractive as a result of internal growth and ongoing consolidation in this growing, profitable segment.

Select Financial Stocks Held Back Performance

On the downside, two financial stocks worked against us. Banking giant JP Morgan Chase lost ground as markets continued to fret over rising interest rates and the potential impact on financial companies. JP Morgan has been hurt by a number of company-specific issues as well. Specifically, near-term earnings have been dampened by management's increased level of investment into operational infrastructure, ranging from the retail branch networks to information technology. Recent adverse legal settlements have also impacted both the balance sheet and market sentiment. Meanwhile, cost-cutting measures put in place will take some time to have their full desired impact. Despite the stock's negative reaction to all the short-term news, I remain steadfastly positive on JP Morgan's long-term prospects.

Insurance brokerage firm Willis Group Holdings continues to be pressured by a weakening price environment and fallout from investigations by the New York Attorney General's office, despite reasonably favorable settlement terms. As with JP Morgan, near-term earnings at Willis have been slightly weaker than expected as a result of increased investments. The company has been rapidly expanding its sales network, which should result in accelerating revenue growth and market share gains in the coming

years. I would expect these near-term concerns to dissipate over time, and investors should once again focus on the strong earnings power and above-market returns of the business.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

The philosopher Saint Augustine once wrote that "patience is the companion of wisdom." Patience seems to be a lost virtue in the current market environment, as the market myopically focuses on short-term factors such as quarterly earnings reports, economic statistics or policy changes at the Federal Reserve. It remains to be seen if wisdom becomes a lost virtue as well, if it has not already.

The Fund's investment philosophy is simply to purchase good businesses at attractive valuations. Embraced within this framework are long investment time horizons, a contrarian nature and a distinct emphasis on underlying intrinsic business value. As a global investor with a wide range of investment opportunities to choose from, patience, selectivity and, of course, a sprinkling of wisdom remain key fundamental disciplines. The goal is to invest in only the most attractive risk/reward opportunities and to wait patiently until finding them. One of my favorite quotes from Warren Buffett says it best: "Lethargy bordering on sloth remains the cornerstone of our investment style."

The broader implication of this approach to investing is that truly great investment opportunities are always quite rare, but the past year has proven to be especially challenging. Valuations across a broad spectrum of geographies, industries and, arguably, even asset classes seem to be, at best, fairly priced. To put this in a longer-term context, many of the significant excesses and valuation differentials between "old" and "new" economy, small- and large- capitalization stocks, as well as "value" and "growth" companies (however misguided this last categorization) appear to have diminished since the U.S. market peaked over five years ago.

The good news is that I believe valuation premiums for high-quality business franchises remain quite low, allowing the opportunity to "upgrade" the Fund for the long-term value creation. The more attractive investments available today tend to be excellent businesses at reasonable valuations, rather than good businesses at cheap valuations. Simply put, I am finding "better-than-average quality for lower-than-average prices." Whether it is Disney here in the United States or Diageo and Vodafone in the United Kingdom, I believe that the quality of the companies in the Fund is outstanding, but at this point few could be characterized as huge "bargains" or grossly undervalued. However, with growth in business values over the past year and recent market declines, valuations are finally beginning to improve and I am optimistic about future investment opportunities.

An old Dutch proverb reminds us ever more succinctly than Saint Augustine that "a handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains." I certainly hope to exercise both patience as well as brains in managing the Fund toward successful investment results.

On a final note, I am pleased to announce that Gregory Kolb has been promoted to Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund. Gregory has made immeasurable contributions to the Fund previously as Assistant Portfolio Manager and analyst, and I know that shareholders will be very well served by his continuing and expanding role.

Thank you for your continued support.

*Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 1.04%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Net dividends reinvested are the dividends that remain to be reinvested after foreign tax obligations have been met. Such obligations vary from country to country.

See "Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements."

The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the index. The index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

This Fund is designed for long-term investors who can accept the special risks associated with value investing and having significant exposure to foreign markets (which include risks such as currency fluctuation and political uncertainty).

The Fund is classified as "nondiversified," meaning it has the ability to take larger positions in a smaller number of issuers than a "diversified" fund. Nondiversified funds may experience greater price volatility.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

Lipper Inc. - A Reuters Company, is a nationally recognized organization that ranks the performance of mutual funds within a universe of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested.

A 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 3 months or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.

Janus Overseas Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This growth fund invests in overseas companies based on their individual merits regardless of their geography or industry sector.

Brent Lynn

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

For the six months ended April 30, 2005, Janus Overseas Fund gained 9.29%. This compares to an 8.71% return posted by the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE® Index, the Fund's benchmark, and an 8.30% gain by the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE® Growth Index.

Investment Strategy in this Environment

Slower but still-reasonable growth in the worldwide economy, together with a slightly more favorable outlook for interest rates, helped support stocks during the period.

Viewed geographically, the U.S. economy slowed, but growth has nonetheless continued at a reasonable pace. The Japanese economy also decelerated. In Europe, the lackluster trend over the past few quarters continued, while China, India and Brazil showed notable strength. These trends remained generally supportive of company fundamentals, although in the technology sector, a number of companies have seen weakening trends.

During the period we made only modest changes to the portfolio. We took profits in some stocks that reached our valuation targets. At the same time, our research team continues to uncover exciting international growth franchises trading at compelling valuations.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, the Fund was 99.1% invested in equities, including a 98.5% share in foreign stocks. Meanwhile, the Fund's 10 largest equity holdings accounted for 31.2% of its total net assets and cash holdings represented 0.9% of total net assets.

Strong Performers Included Leisure, Materials and Semiconductor Stocks

OPAP, a company that operates sports betting and lottery programs in Greece, enjoyed an increase in its stock price as their new Kino game gained rapid popular acceptance. We trimmed our exposure to OPAP as the stock reached our near-term valuation target, but we have maintained a smaller position in the Fund because we remain excited about the company's growth opportunities from Kino and from betting on Greek football.

Brazilian iron ore producer Companhia Vale do Rio Doce ("CVRD") was another contributor. Limited supply growth among the three largest global iron ore exporters as well as continued strong demand for steel from rapidly industrializing economies such as India and China resulted in a very robust pricing environment for iron ore. In a recently completed round of negotiations between iron ore suppliers and their customers, CVRD was able to extract a 71.5% year-over-year increase in prices. Our analyst, Laurent Saltiel, correctly predicted that price increases would far exceed street forecasts and the stock rewarded our shareholders.

Meanwhile, we sold our position in Brazilian steel company Companhia Siderurgica Nacional ("CSN"). CSN has benefited from many of the same trends as CVRD and, like CVRD, has been a strong performer for us. However, we chose to exit the position after the stock exceeded our price targets.

Finally, Samsung Electronics gained as strong end-use demand for products that utilize NAND-flash memory, including Apple's iPod, contributed to rising volumes at the company's memory chip division. Samsung also benefited from a turnaround in profit margins at its wireless handset unit and a stabilization of its flat-panel display business. Jeff Helfrich and Garth Yettick, the

analysts who cover Samsung for us, have done outstanding work by conducting numerous product demand checks, canvassing Samsung's entire competitor universe as well as maintaining frequent contacts with its suppliers and key customers.

Weak Performers Included Energy, Electronics and Software Companies

On the downside, our Russian positions were hit by political turmoil. As a result of what we perceived as an increase in political risk, we sold our small position in oil producer Yukos prior to that company declaring bankruptcy. We also sold our position in Norilsk Nickel based on our assessment that political risk had risen despite strong company fundamentals.

Sony, a new purchase for us this period, also declined. We are encouraged by recent changes in management and we expect that the company's new gaming platforms will be very successful. We are also hopeful that future restructuring of Sony's other business divisions will unlock significant shareholder value. As a result, we increased our position in Sony as the stock declined.

Security software company Check Point Software was another setback. The market environment has been difficult for technology companies in general and Check Point's performance reflected that trend. We are encouraged by Check Point's new products which will improve customers' internal network security and web security. We believe these products will contribute significantly to Check Point's revenues over the next few years.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

In closing, we are reasonably upbeat about the mid-term environment for international equities. Economic growth has remained on a moderate path. More importantly, we believe business fundamentals remain solid and valuations remain attractive for most of the companies in the Fund.

My sole objective is to generate superior long-term performance for our shareholders. I believe that the best way to achieve that goal is to make long-term investments in great international companies with exciting growth prospects. Every member of our research team is committed to uncovering these companies.

Thank you for your investment in Janus Overseas Fund.

Fund Expenses

The example below shows you the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and allows you to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. Please refer to page 4 for a detailed explanation of the information presented in these charts.

Expense Example   Beginning Account Value
(11/1/04)
  Ending Account Value
(4/30/05)
  Expenses Paid During Period
(11/1/04-4/30/05) *
 
Actual   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,092.90     $ 4.72    
Hypothetical
(5% return before expenses)
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,020.28     $ 4.56    

 

*Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.91%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Net dividends reinvested are the dividends that remain to be reinvested after foreign tax obligations have been met. Such obligations vary from country to country.

See "Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements."

The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the index. The index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainty.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

A 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 3 months or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.

This Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets which may lead to greater price volatility.

Fund Snapshot

This global fund offers geographic diversification in a single portfolio.

Jason Yee

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

For the six months ended April 30, 2005, Janus Worldwide Fund gained 4.87%, while its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World IndexSM, returned 5.70%.

Although posting positive absolute returns for the period, the Fund's slight underperformance versus its benchmark is due primarily to an underweighted position in the energy sector as well as the weak performance of our Bermuda-based holdings. Contributing to the Fund's gains, however, were the strong results of a number of our picks within the healthcare industry. From a geographic perspective, performance was boosted by our holdings in the United Kingdom, as well as being helped by an underweighted position in the United States versus the Index.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, the majority of the Fund's total net assets were invested in foreign companies, representing 62.1% of total net assets, while 33.4% of the Fund's total net assets were invested in domestic companies. Only 5.3% of the Fund's overseas allocation was invested in emerging markets. Meanwhile, its cash position was 4.5%. The Fund's top 10 equity holdings as of April 30, 2005, accounted for 40.3% of total net assets.

Select Healthcare Holdings Contributed to Results

During the period, two healthcare companies emerged as top performers. Drug distributor McKesson reported a favorable set of earnings results that were driven by favorable pricing trends and healthy operating margins. The company remains somewhat controversial given its ongoing business model transition toward fee-for-service pricing, but I remain reasonably optimistic that this transition will pay off over the medium term.

Favorable pricing trends also aided managed care company UnitedHealth Group. The solid fundamentals the company exhibited in 2004 have remained intact this year, and a strong pricing environment, coupled with stable medical cost trends, should continue to drive profitability in the future. Furthermore, I believe the company's valuation – as well as much of the managed care arena in general – still looks attractive at these levels.

Detractors Included Financial Stocks

On the downside, two financial stocks worked against us. Banking giant JP Morgan Chase lost ground as markets continued to fret over rising interest rates and the potential impact on financial companies. JP Morgan has been hurt by a number of company-specific issues as well. Specifically, near-term earnings have been dampened by management's increased level of investment into operational infrastructure, ranging from the retail branch networks to information technology. Recent adverse legal settlements have also impacted both the balance sheet and market sentiment. Meanwhile, cost-cutting measures put in place will take some time to have their full desired impact. Despite the stock's negative reaction to all the short-term news, I remain steadfastly positive on JP Morgan's long-term prospects.

Insurance brokerage firm Willis Group Holdings continues to be pressured by a weakening price environment and fallout from investigations by the New York Attorney General's office, despite reasonably favorable settlement terms. As with JP Morgan, near-term earnings at Willis have been slightly weaker than expected as a result of increased investments. The company has been rapidly expanding its sales network, which should result in accelerating revenue growth and market share gains in the coming years. I would expect these near-term concerns to dissipate over time, and investors should once again focus on the strong earnings power and above-market returns of the business.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

The philosopher Saint Augustine once wrote that "patience is the companion of wisdom." Patience seems to be a lost virtue in the current market environment, as the market myopically focuses on short-term factors such as quarterly earnings reports, economic statistics or policy changes at the Federal Reserve. It remains to be seen if wisdom becomes a lost virtue as well, if it has not already.

The Fund's investment philosophy is simply to purchase good businesses at attractive valuations. Embraced within this framework are long investment time horizons, a contrarian nature and a distinct emphasis on underlying intrinsic business value. As a global investor with a wide range of investment opportunities to choose from, patience, selectivity and, of course, a sprinkling of wisdom remain key fundamental disciplines. The goal is to invest only in the most attractive risk/reward opportunities and to wait patiently until finding them. One of my favorite quotes from Warren Buffett says it best: "Lethargy bordering on sloth remains the cornerstone of our investment style."

The broader implication of this approach to investing is that truly great investment opportunities are always quite rare, but the past year has proven to be especially challenging. Valuations across a broad spectrum of geographies, industries and, arguably, even asset classes seem to be, at best, fairly priced. To put this in a longer-term context, many of the significant excesses and valuation differentials between "old" and "new" economy, small- and large-capitalization stocks, as well as "value" and "growth" companies (however misguided this last categorization) appear to have diminished since the U.S. market peaked over five years ago.

The good news is that I believe valuation premiums for high-quality business franchises remain quite low, allowing the opportunity to "upgrade" the Fund for the long-term value creation. The more attractive investments available today tend to be excellent businesses at reasonable valuations, rather than good businesses at cheap valuations. Simply put, I am finding "better-than-average quality for lower-than-average prices." Whether it is Disney here in the United States or Diageo and Vodafone in the United Kingdom, I believe the quality of companies in the Fund is outstanding, but at this point few could be characterized as huge "bargains" or grossly undervalued. However, with growth in business values over the past year and recent market declines, valuations are finally beginning to improve and I am optimistic about future investment opportunities.

An old Dutch proverb reminds us ever more succinctly than Saint Augustine that "a handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains." I certainly hope to exercise both patience as well as brains in managing the Fund towards successful investment results.

Thank you for your continued support.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Call 1-800-525-3713 or visit www.janus.com for performance current to the most recent month-end.

See Notes to Schedules of Investments for index definitions.

Total return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

The date of the Lipper ranking is slightly different from when the Fund began operations since Lipper provides fund rankings as of the last day of the month or the first Thursday after fund inception.

*The Fund's inception date – May 15, 1991

Fund Expenses

The example below shows you the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and allows you to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. Please refer to page 4 for a detailed explanation of the information presented in these charts.

Expense Example   Beginning Account Value
(11/1/04)
  Ending Account Value
(4/30/05)
  Expenses Paid During Period
(11/1/04-4/30/05) *
 
Actual   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,048.70     $ 4.47    
Hypothetical
(5% return before expenses)
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,020.43     $ 4.41    

 

*Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.88%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Net dividends reinvested are the dividends that remain to be reinvested after foreign tax obligations have been met. Such obligations vary from country to country.

See "Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements."

The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the index. The index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainty.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

A 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 3 months or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.

Lipper Inc. - A Reuters Company, is a nationally recognized organization that ranks the performance of mutual funds within a universe of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested.

Repurchase Agreements held by a fund are fully collateralized, and such collateral is in the possession of a Fund's custodian or subcustodian. The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its market value equals or exceeds the current market value of the repurchase agreements, including accrued interest. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

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 Opportunities Fund, Janus Overseas Fund and Janus Worldwide Fund (collectively the "Funds" and individually a "Fund") are series funds. The Funds are part of Janus Investment Fund (the "Trust"), which was organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company. The Trust has twenty-nine funds. Each of the Funds in this report is classified as diversified as defined in the 1940 Act, with the exception of Janus Global Opportunities Fund which is classified as nondiversified. The Funds are no-load investments.

The following accounting policies have been consistently followed by the Funds and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the investment company industry.

Investment Valuation

Securities are valued at the closing price for securities traded on a principal securities exchange (U.S. or foreign) and on the NASDAQ National Market. Securities traded on over-the-counter 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 making a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by the Funds' Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Foreign securities and currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate in effect as of the daily close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). When market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, or events or circumstances that may affect the value of portfolio securities held by the Funds are identified between the closing of their principal markets and time the net asset value ("NAV") is determined, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the supervision of the Funds' Trustees. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value international equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and 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. 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.

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 of the Funds.

Securities Lending

Under procedures adopted by the Trustees, the Funds may lend securities to qualified parties (typically brokers or other financial institutions) who need to borrow securities in order to complete certain transactions such as covering short sales, avoiding failures to deliver securities or completing arbitrage activities. The Funds' Trustees periodically review securities lending activities to monitor compliance with the securities lending procedures. The Funds may seek to earn additional income through securities lending. 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 Management LLC ("Janus Capital") makes efforts to balance the benefits and risks from granting such loans.

The Funds will not have the right to vote on securities while they are being lent, however, the Funds may attempt to call back the loan and vote the proxy. 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 or such other collateral permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The lending agent may also invest the cash collateral in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio or investments in unaffiliated money market funds or accounts, mutually agreed to by the Funds and the lending agent that complies with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act relating to money market funds.

As of April 30, 2005, the Funds had on loan securities valued as indicated:

Fund   Value at
April 30, 2005
 
Janus Global Opportunities Fund   $ 33,127,719    
Janus Overseas Fund     255,414,159    
Janus Worldwide Fund     747,135,775    

 

Janus International & Global Funds April 30, 2005 27



Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

As of April 30, 2005, the Funds received cash collateral for securities lending activity as indicated:

Fund   Cash Collateral at
April 30, 2005
 
Janus Global Opportunities Fund   $ 34,278,745    
Janus Overseas Fund     266,908,720    
Janus Worldwide Fund     775,068,618    

 

As of April 30, 2005, all cash collateral received was invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio, except for Janus Worldwide Fund, which also invested $881,975 in foreign securities.

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 which 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 respective 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 borrower pays fees at the Funds' direction to its lending agent. The lending agent may retain a portion of the interest earned. The cash collateral invested by the lending agent is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The lending fees and the Funds' portion of the interest income earned on cash collateral is included on the Statement of Operations (if applicable).

Interfund Lending

Pursuant to an exemptive order received from the SEC, each of the Funds may be party to an interfund lending agreement between the Funds and other Janus Capital sponsored mutual funds, which permit it to borrow or lend cash, at a rate beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Outstanding borrowings from all sources totaling 10% or more of a borrowing Fund's total assets must be collateralized at 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan; loans of less than 10% may be unsecured. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, there were no outstanding borrowing or lending arrangements for the Funds.

Forward Currency Transactions

The Funds may enter into forward currency contracts in order to reduce their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings and to lock in the U.S. dollar cost of firm purchase and sale commitments for securities denominated in or exposed to foreign currencies. A forward currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. 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 or loss from foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations (if applicable).

Forward currency contracts held by the Funds are fully collateralized by other securities, which are denoted in the accompanying Schedule of Investments (if applicable). The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its market value equals or exceeds the current market value of the corresponding forward currency contracts.

Foreign Currency Translations

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from 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 on investments and foreign currency translation 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 security transactions and income.

Foreign-denominated assets and forward currency contracts may involve more risks than domestic transactions, including currency risk, political and economic risk, regulatory risk and market 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.

When-issued Securities

The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Funds may hold liquid assets as collateral with the Funds' custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price. As of April 30, 2005, there were no Funds invested in when-issued securities.

Initial Public Offerings

The Funds may invest in initial public offerings ("IPOs"). IPOs and other investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on a fund with a small asset base. The Funds may not experience similar performance as their assets grow.

28 Janus International & Global Funds April 30, 2005



Restricted Security Transactions

Restricted securities held by a Fund may not be sold except in exempt transactions or in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933. 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 a 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.

Dividend Distributions

Each Fund generally declares and distributes dividends and capital gains (if any) annually. The majority of dividends and capital gains distributions from a Fund will be automatically reinvested into additional shares of that Fund.

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.

Federal Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Funds intend to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.

Indemnifications

Under the Funds' organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Each Fund pays a monthly advisory fee to Janus Capital based upon average daily net assets and calculated at the annual rate of 0.64% (0.60% for Janus Worldwide Fund).

The Funds' expenses may be reduced by expense offsets from an unaffiliated custodian. Such credits or offsets are included in Expense and Fee Offsets on the Statement of Operations. Custody credits received reduce Custodian Fees. The Funds could have employed the assets used by the custodian to produce income if it had not entered into an expense offset arrangement.

Each of the Funds pays Janus Services LLC ("Janus Services"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, an asset-weighted average annual fee based on the proportion of each of the Fund's total net assets sold directly and the proportion of each Fund's net assets sold through financial intermediaries. The applicable fee rates are 0.16% of net assets on the proportion of assets sold directly and 0.21% on the proportion of assets sold through intermediaries. In addition, Janus Services receives $4.00 per open shareholder account for transfer agent services plus reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses (primarily postage and telephone charges).

A 2.00% redemption fee may be imposed on shares of the Funds held for three months or less. This fee is paid to the Funds rather than Janus Capital, and is designed to deter excessive short-term trading and to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with changes in the Funds' asset level and cash flow due to short-term money movements in and out of the Funds. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to Paid-in Capital. Total redemption fees received by Janus Global Opportunities Fund, Janus Overseas Fund and Janus Worldwide Fund were $19,464, $65,066 and $111,606, respectively, for the six-month period ended April 30, 2005.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, Janus Capital assumed $3,084 of legal, consulting and Trustee costs and fees incurred by the funds in Janus Investment Fund, Janus Aspen Series and Janus Adviser Series ("Portfolios") in connection with the regulatory and civil litigation matters discussed in Note 6. These non-recurring costs were allocated to all Portfolios based on the Portfolios' respective net assets at July 31, 2004. Additionally, all future non-recurring costs will be allocated to all Portfolios based on the Portfolios' respective net assets at July 31, 2004. These non-recurring costs and offsetting waivers are shown on the Statement of Operations. The effect of non-recurring costs was de minimis.

Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds may also be officers and/or directors of Janus Capital; however, such officers and Trustees receive no compensation from the Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, Janus Services reimbursed Janus Global Opportunities Fund and Janus Worldwide Fund $4,588 and $1,122, respectively, as a result of dilutions caused by incorrectly processed shareholder activity.

The Funds may invest in money market funds, including funds managed by Janus Capital. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the following Fund recorded distributions from affiliated investment companies as affiliated dividend income, and had the following affiliated purchases and sales:

4. FEDERAL INCOME TAX

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.

The Funds have elected to treat gains and losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts as capital gains and losses. Other foreign currency gains and losses on debt instruments are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investment securities for federal income tax purposes as of April 30, 2005 are noted below.

Unrealized appreciation and unrealized depreciation in the table below exclude appreciation/(depreciation) on foreign currency translations. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of investments is wash sale loss deferrals.

6. LEGAL MATTERS

In September 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC'') and the Office of the New York State Attorney General ("NYAG'') publicly announced that they were investigating trading practices in the mutual fund industry. The investigations were prompted by the NYAG's settlement with a hedge fund, Canary Capital, which allegedly engaged in irregular trading practices with certain mutual fund companies. While Janus Capital was not named as a defendant in the NYAG complaint against the hedge fund, Janus Capital was mentioned in the complaint as having allowed Canary Capital to "market time'' certain Janus funds, allegedly in contradiction to policies stated in prospectuses for certain Janus funds.

Subsequent to the announcements by the SEC and the NYAG, the Colorado Attorney General ("COAG'') and the Colorado Division of Securities announced that they were each initiating investigations into Janus Capital's mutual fund trading practices. On August 18, 2004, Janus Capital announced that it had reached final settlements with the NYAG, the COAG, the Colorado Division of Securities and the SEC related to such regulators' investigations into Janus Capital's frequent trading arrangements.

A number of civil lawsuits were also brought against Janus Capital and certain of its affiliates, the Janus funds, and related entities and individuals based on allegations similar to those contained in the NYAG complaint against Canary Capital. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories for recovery including, but not limited to the federal securities laws, other federal statutes (including ERISA) and various common law doctrines.

These "market timing" lawsuits were filed in a number of state and federal jurisdictions. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has finally or conditionally transferred all but one of these actions to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for coordinated proceedings. On September 29, 2004, five consolidated amended complaints were filed in that court. These complaints are the operative complaints in the coordinated proceedings and, as a practical matter, supersede the previously filed complaints. The five complaints include: (i) claims by a putative class of investors in the Janus funds asserting claims on behalf of the investor class; (ii) derivative claims by investors in the Janus funds ostensibly on behalf of the Janus funds; (iii) claims on behalf of participants in the Janus 401(k) plan; (iv) claims brought on behalf of shareholders of JCG on a derivative basis against the Board of Directors of JCG; and (v) claims by a putative class of shareholders of JCG asserting claims on behalf of the shareholders. Each of the five complaints name JCG and/or Janus Capital as a defendant. In addition, the following are named as defendants in one or more of the actions: Janus Investment Fund ("JIF"), Janus Aspen Series ("JAS"), Janus Adviser Series ("JAD"), Janus Distributors LLC, Enhanced Investment Technologies LLC ("INTECH"), Bay Isle, Perkins Wolf McDonnell and Company LLC ("Perkins"), the Advisory Committee of the Janus 401(k) plan, and the current or former directors of JCG.

In early 2005, a lawsuit was filed in the State of Kansas alleging violations under Kansas law based on Janus Capital's involvement in the market timing allegations. Also, the Attorney General's Office for the State of West Virginia recently filed a market timing related civil action against Janus Capital and several other non-affiliated mutual fund companies, claiming violations under the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act. The civil action requests certain monetary penalties, among other relief.

In addition to the "market timing'' actions described above, three civil lawsuits were filed against Janus Capital challenging the investment advisory fees charged by Janus Capital to certain Janus funds. One such lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed. The remaining two lawsuits are currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. On January 31, 2005, the court entered an order granting a joint motion to consolidate the cases and allowing the consolidated amended complaint filed with the motion. The consolidated amended complaint is the operative complaint in the coordinated proceedings. The complaint asserts claims under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

A lawsuit was also filed against Janus Capital and certain affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado alleging that Janus Capital failed to ensure that certain Janus funds participated in securities class action settlements for which the funds were eligible. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 36(a), 36(b) and 47(b) of the Investment Company Act, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence.

Additional lawsuits may be filed against certain of the Janus funds, Janus Capital and related parties in the future. Janus Capital does not currently believe that these pending actions will materially affect its ability to continue providing services it has agreed to provide to the Funds.

On March 16, 2005, Bay Isle received a document request in connection with the SEC's informal inquiry into issues raised by the SEC staff in a deficiency letter resulting from a routine examination of Bay Isle in March 2004. Bay Isle is in the process of responding to such request. In addition, the SEC examination of Janus Capital commenced in September 2003 remains open.

Explanations of Charts, Tables and
Financial Statements
(unaudited)

1. PERFORMANCE OVERVIEWS

Performance overview graphs compare the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each Fund (from inception) with one or more widely used market indices. The hypothetical example does not represent the returns of any particular investment.

When comparing the performance of a Fund with an index, keep in mind that market indices do not include brokerage commissions that would be incurred if you purchased the individual securities in the index. They also do not include taxes payable on dividends and interest or operating expenses incurred if you maintained a Fund invested in the index.

Average annual total returns are also quoted for each Fund. Average annual total return is calculated by taking the growth or decline in value of an investment over a period of time, including reinvestment of any dividends, distributions, and capital gains, 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.

2. SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS

Following the performance overview section is each Fund's Schedule of Investments. This schedule reports the industry concentrations and types of securities held in each Fund on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are usually listed by type (common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. Government obligations, etc.) and by industry classification (banking, communications, insurance, etc.). Holdings are subject to change without notice.

The value of each security is quoted as of the last day of the reporting period. The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies is converted into U.S. dollars. Certain short-term investments maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Funds that invest in foreign securities also provide a summary of investments by country. This summary reports the Funds' exposure to different countries by providing the percentage of securities invested in each country. The country of each security represents the country in which the company is incorporated.

2A. FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS

A table listing forward currency contracts follows each Fund's Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Forward currency contracts are agreements to deliver or receive a preset amount of currency at a future date. Forward currency contracts are used to hedge against foreign currency risk in the Fund's long-term holdings.

The table provides the name of the foreign currency, the settlement date of the contract, the amount of the contract, the value of the currency in U.S. dollars and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the change in currency exchange rates from the time the contract was opened to the last day of the reporting period.

2B. FUTURES

A table listing futures contracts follows each Fund's Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Futures contracts are contracts that obligate the buyer to receive and the seller to deliver an instrument or money at a specified price on a specified date. Futures are used to hedge against adverse movements in securities prices, currency risk or interest rates.

The table provides the name of the contract, number of contracts held, the expiration date, the principal amount, value and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the marked-to-market amount for the last day of the reporting period.

3. STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

This statement is often referred to as the "balance sheet." It lists the assets and liabilities of the Funds on the last day of the reporting period.

The Funds' assets are calculated by adding the value of the securities owned, the receivable for securities sold but not yet settled, the receivable for dividends declared but not yet received on stocks owned and the receivable for Fund shares sold to investors but not yet settled. The Funds' liabilities include payables for securities purchased but not yet settled, Fund shares redeemed but not yet paid and expenses owed but not yet paid. Additionally, there may be other assets and liabilities such as unrealized gain or loss on forward currency contracts.

The section entitled "Net Assets Consist of" breaks down the components of the Funds' net assets. Because Funds must distribute substantially all earnings, you'll notice that a significant portion of net assets is shareholder capital.

The last section of this statement reports the net asset value ("NAV") per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the Funds' net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding.

34 Janus International & Global Funds April 30, 2005



4. STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

This statement details the Funds' income, expenses, gains and losses on securities and currency transactions, and appreciation or depreciation of current Fund holdings.

The first section in this statement, entitled "Investment Income," reports the dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the Funds.

The next section reports the expenses incurred by the Funds, including the advisory fee paid to the investment adviser, transfer agent fees and expenses and printing and postage for mailing statements, financial reports and prospectuses. Expense offsets, if any, are also shown.

The last section lists the increase or decrease in the value of securities held in the Funds. Funds realize a gain (or loss) when they sell their position in a particular security. An unrealized gain (or loss) refers to the change in net appreciation or depreciation of the Funds during the period. "Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) on Investments" is affected both by changes in the market value of Fund holdings and by gains (or losses) realized during the reporting period.

5. STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

This statement reports the increase or decrease in the Funds' net assets during the reporting period. Changes in the Funds' net assets are attributable to investment operations, dividends, distributions and capital share transactions. This is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the Funds' net asset size to change during the period.

The first section summarizes the information from the Statement of Operations regarding changes in net assets due to the Funds' investment performance. The Funds' net assets may also change as a result of dividend and capital gains distributions to investors. If investors receive their dividends in cash, money is taken out of the Fund to pay the distribution. If investors reinvest their dividends, the Funds' net assets will not be affected. If you compare each Fund's "Net Decrease from Dividends and Distributions" to the "Reinvested dividends and distributions," you'll notice that dividend distributions had little effect on each Fund's net assets. This is because the majority of Janus investors reinvest their distributions.

The reinvestment of dividends is included under "Capital Share Transactions." "Capital Shares" refers to the money investors contribute to the Funds through purchases or withdrawals via redemptions. The "Redemption Fees" refers to the fee paid to the Funds for shares held for three months or less by a shareholder. The Funds' net assets will increase and decrease in value as investors purchase and redeem shares from the Funds.

6. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

This schedule provides a per-share breakdown of the components that affect the Funds' NAV for current and past reporting periods. Not only does this table provide you with total return, it also reports total distributions, asset size, expense ratios and portfolio turnover rate.

The first line in the table reflects the NAV per share at the beginning of the reporting period. The next line reports the net investment income per share, which comprises dividends and interest income earned on securities held by the Funds. Following is the total of gains/(losses), realized and unrealized. Dividends and distributions are then subtracted to arrive at the NAV per share at the end of the period.

The next line reflects the average annual total return reported the last day of the period.

Also included are the expense ratios, or the percentage of net assets that were used to cover operating expenses during the period. Expense ratios vary across the Funds for a number of reasons, including the differences in management fees, the average shareholder account size, the frequency of dividend payments and the extent of foreign investments, which entail greater transaction costs.

The Funds' expenses may be reduced through expense reduction arrangements. These arrangements include the use of uninvested cash balances earning interest or balance credits. The Statement of Operations reflects total expenses before any such offset, the amount of offset and the net expenses. The expense ratios listed in the Financial Highlights reflect total expenses prior to any expense offsets (gross expense ratio) and after the expense offsets (net expense ratio). Both expense ratios reflect expenses after waivers (reimbursements), if applicable.

The ratio of net investment income/(loss) summarizes the income earned less expenses divided by the average net assets of a Fund during the reporting period. Don't confuse this ratio with a Fund's yield. The net investment income ratio is not a true measure of a Fund's yield because it doesn't take into account the dividends distributed to the Fund's investors.

The next ratio is the portfolio turnover rate, which measures the buying and selling activity in a Fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the asset size of a Fund, the nature of the Fund's investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager. A 100% rate implies that an amount equal to the value of the entire portfolio is turned over in a year; a 50% rate means that an amount equal to the value of half the portfolio is traded in a year; and a 200% rate means that an amount equal to the value of the portfolio is traded every six months.

Janus provides access to a wide range of investment disciplines.

Growth

Janus growth funds focus on companies believed to be the leaders in their respective industries, with solid management teams, expanding market share, margins and efficiencies.

Core

Janus core funds seek investments in more stable and predictable companies. These funds look for a strategic combination of steady growth and for certain funds, some degree of income.

Dear Shareholder,

Having served as Janus' Chief Investment Officer for full a year now, it seems an appropriate time to assess the progress we've made for our shareholders over the past 12 months.

Report Card

In my first letter to Janus shareholders last April, I spoke about our collective efforts to expand our coverage of stocks, improve our risk-management discipline and foster additional collaboration between portfolio managers and analysts.

I am pleased to report that we have made significant progress on all three fronts, and would like to share details with you.

First, we hired eight new equity analysts this past year, which brings the total equity analyst team to 36. On the fixed-income side, we hired three new credit analysts. The expanded research staff has enabled Janus to increase its coverage of domestic and international stocks, with the goal of keeping the portfolios fresh with current ideas.

Second, we improved our risk-management oversight by creating the position of Director of Risk Management and Performance, a role recently filled by Daniel Scherman, who brings with him more than 20 years of experience in the investment management industry. While Janus' heritage is built on a willingness to invest with conviction when we believe we have a research edge, adding this additional layer of risk oversight should ensure that exposures, whether intended or not, are properly analyzed.

The third initiative on which we have made progress is enhancing the quality of debate and dialogue within the investment team, which is a critical, yet intangible component of any successful investment management organization. There are multiple venues available for portfolio managers and analysts to come together and discuss or review key stocks in the news or new buy recommendations. The senior analysts that lead the global sector teams play an important part in driving this dialogue with the portfolio managers, resulting in a more robust exchange of ideas.

Also noteworthy is the contribution our team of 12 research associates has made to our overall research effort. Created two years ago, the team continues to make solid contributions by uncovering real-time demand trends in the marketplace in key consumer categories, ranging from travel and lodging to online music and wireless communications.

While we're pleased with our accomplishments to date, these and other initiatives would be irrelevant if there was no concurrent improvement in relative fund performance. In that regard, I am pleased to report a significant improvement in the relative performance of a number of our funds, as described below.

Performance

As of April, 30, 2005, 73% of Janus growth and core funds ranked in Lipper's top two quartiles for the one- and three-year periods, based on total returns. Longer-term relative performance is also impressive, with 100% of our growth and core funds ranking in Lipper's top two quartiles for the life-of-fund periods.

In my opinion, the improvement in relative performance for many of our funds tells me that our research effort continues to set us apart from our peers and that the portfolios are well positioned to outperform in all types of markets. The investment team is working together to ensure that, in its view, the most compelling risk/reward stocks are properly positioned in the portfolios.

New Fund Offerings

We are very excited to bring our investors two new mutual funds, which were launched this past winter: Janus Triton Fund and Janus Research Fund. Janus Triton Fund, managed by Ron Sachs, outpaced its benchmark index since inception (the two-month period ended April 30, 2005). We attribute these results to the success that Ron and team have had uncovering promising investment ideas in the small- and mid-cap growth space.

Janus Research Fund is a unique collection of the top picks of each analyst at Janus, thereby resulting in a diversified, multicap portfolio of both growth and value stocks. It, too, is backed by a solid research effort, and by focusing on what we believe are the best prospects for the long haul, we hope to deliver Index-beating returns with relatively low risks.

Market Review and Outlook

After hitting 31/2 year highs in early March, equity markets encountered stiff headwinds in late-March and April. Record-high oil prices, sluggish retail sales, falling consumer confidence, and slowing earnings growth all conspired to stymie the markets.

General Motors' announcement in mid-March that it has scaled back its earnings expectations for the remainder of 2005 was a clear sign that higher oil prices and rising interest rates were finally having a negative impact on consumer spending. Subsequent updates by Wal-Mart, Harley-Davidson and IBM provided further confirmation of a slightly softer macroeconomic environment as the second quarter unfolded.

It appears that two opposing opinions have crystallized regarding the near-term outlook for the economy. One camp is forecasting a deceleration in the economy due to the lagging effect of higher energy prices and rising interest rates. This group is projecting that gross domestic product (GDP) growth will slow to 2% in the second half of the year.

The other camp argues that the U.S. economy is better equipped to handle higher energy prices and interest rates when compared to the 1980s, and what we may be witnessing in the current volatile market is the handoff in spending from consumers to businesses.

Taking a step back from the day-to-day noise of the markets, the most likely scenario to unfold will be that the economy continues to grow at an acceptable rate given this stage of the business cycle. While it is reasonable to expect some moderation in economic growth as the business cycle matures, we do not think that GDP growth will decelerate markedly in the second half of the year.

In support of that view, it is important to note that unemployment is declining, business spending is improving, merger and acquisition activity is picking up, jobs are still being created, and corporate earnings generally have been reasonable.

Risks to economic growth are well known – rising energy prices, eroding consumer confidence, job cuts, reduced business spending, and higher interest rates. We believe these concerns will likely remain in the forefront of the market for the near term.

While all investors get impatient with sideways markets, we at Janus believe that the market will always reward superior business models with improving fundamental outlooks. Our job is to identify those companies that are winning in the marketplace and own them in your funds.

Thank you for your confidence and trust.

Sincerely,

Gary Black

Useful Information About Your Fund Report

Portfolio Manager Commentaries

The portfolio manager commentaries in this report include valuable insight from the portfolio managers as well as statistical information to help you understand how your fund's performance and characteristics stack up against those of comparable indices.

Please keep in mind that the opinions expressed by the portfolio managers in their commentaries are just that: opinions. The commentary is a reflection of the portfolio manager's best judgment at the time this report was compiled, which was April 30, 2005. As the investing environment changes, so could the portfolio managers' opinions. These views are unique to each manager and aren't necessarily shared by their fellow employees or by Janus in general.

Fund Expenses

We believe it's important for our shareholders to have a clear understanding of fund expenses and the impact they have on investment return.

The following is important information regarding each Fund's Expense Example, which appears in each Fund's Portfolio Manager Commentary within this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for each Fund.

Example

As a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees (where applicable) (and any related exchange fees) and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six-month period from November 1, 2004 to April 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table in each example provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table in each example provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. This 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.

Janus Capital Management LLC ("Janus Capital") has contractually agreed to waive each Fund's total operating expenses, excluding brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses to certain limits until at least March 1, 2006. Expenses in the examples reflect application of these waivers. Had the waivers not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher. More information regarding the waivers is available in the Funds' Prospectuses.

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

Janus Federal Tax-Exempt Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This bond fund invests primarily in tax-exempt municipal bonds of any maturity.

Doug Nelson

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the Federal Reserve ("Fed") remained on its measured pace of raising short-term interest rates, as they increased rates four times over this horizon. Janus Federal Tax-Exempt Fund returned 1.05%, while its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, gained 1.93%.

Chronic concerns over the slowing economy, rising oil prices and increasing inflation continue to plague the market. The Fed is doing its best at attempting to control inflation by raising short-term interest rates, realizing however that if they raise rates too high they may stall the already slowing economy. A slow methodical approach to higher rates appears to be the right course of action.

Investment Philosophy

As the new Portfolio Manager of Janus Federal Tax-Exempt Fund as of March 2005, I'd like to take this opportunity to explain my philosophy regarding the Funds Investments. As market conditions warrant, the duration of the portfolio may be extended by selling some of the shorter-maturity securities and adding longer-maturity municipal bonds. Although the Fed is continuing to raise short-term rates, I believe that interest rates will not be moving substantially higher this year. In addition, the municipal bond curve is currently much steeper than the U.S. Treasury curve, therefore extending the duration should provide the prospect for additional yield. Adding an incremental amount of credit risk to the Fund potentially enhances the yield of the portfolio.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, 54.6% of the Fund's total net assets were invested in triple-A rated bonds (highest quality) and 11.7% in double-A rated bonds.

Shorter Duration Held Back Performance Early in the Period

Over the first half of the period, the Fund struggled versus its benchmark as the Fund held a short duration position. This defensive positioning ultimately hurt the Fund's return versus the benchmark as long-term interest rates dropped.

Since assuming management of the Fund in March, I have started to extend the duration of the portfolio by purchasing longer maturity municipal bonds adding to the Fund's duration and yield. Going forward, I do not foresee substantially higher long-term interest rates this year.

Quality Shift Down Late in the Period

Earlier in the period the Fund was also positioned conservatively in terms of quality. The Fund was overweight in the triple-A's and double-A's (the highest quality sectors) versus the benchmark. This positioning proved to be a drag on performance as the lower quality sectors outperformed.

I have begun to unwind the defensive high-quality positioning of the Fund by adding triple-B's to the portfolio. This strategy contributed to the Fund's performance later in the period as triple-B's performed strongly.

Janus Bond & Money Market Funds April 30, 2005 5



Janus Federal Tax-Exempt Fund (unaudited)

By using fundamental credit research, adding investment grade bonds that I believe are of stable or improving credit quality may prove beneficial. I believe that adding incremental credit risk may enhance the yield of the Fund. Adding municipal bonds that are subject to Alternative Minimum Tax (within prescribed limits), may enhance the Fund's yield.

Outlook

The supply of municipal bonds during the first quarter was very heavy and issuance in March was the third-highest ever. Heavy supply coupled with some selling by a major insurance company put upward pressure on yields and a strain on liquidity, however, the municipal market remained relatively stable and was overall less volatile than the taxable bond market. In my opinion, municipal bonds are still an attractive investment vehicle when compared to taxable bonds, based on a tax equivalent yield basis.

Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Federal Tax-Exempt Fund.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Call 1-800-525-3713 or visit www.janus.com for performance current to the most recent month-end.

Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

The date of the Lipper ranking is slightly different from when the fund began operations since Lipper provides fund rankings as of the last day of the month or the first Thursday after fund inception.

Fund Expenses

The example below shows you the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and allows you to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. Please refer to page 4 for a detailed explanation of the information presented in these charts.

Expense Example   Beginning Account Value

*Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.55%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses include the effect of contractual waivers by Janus Capital.

See "Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements."

Bond funds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds owned by the fund. Unlike owning individual bonds, there are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of bond funds.

The return of principal is not guaranteed due to net asset value fluctuation that is caused by changes in the price of specific bonds held in the fund and selling of bonds within the fund by the portfolio manager.

The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the index. The index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Income may be subject to state or local taxes and to a limited extent certain federal taxes. Capital gains are subject to federal, state and local taxes.

Janus Capital Management LLC has contractually agreed to waive the Fund's total operating expenses to levels indicated in the prospectus until at least March 1, 2006. Without such waivers, yields and total return would have been lower.

10 Janus Bond & Money Market Funds April 30, 2005



Janus Flexible Bond Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This bond fund adjusts its allocations among different types of bonds in an attempt to take advantage of ever-changing market conditions.

Ron Speaker

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

The bond market proved volatile during the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, as changing assessments of economic growth, inflation risks and corporate credit quality kept investors on edge. The Federal Reserve ("Fed") continued to tighten credit conditions at a measured pace during the period. Since last June the Fed has increased the Fed Funds rate 200 basis points to 3.00%. By March, however, the market was pricing in more aggressive Fed rate tightening for the remainder of the year, which put additional upward pressure on short-term Treasury yields. Longer-term yields rose less dramatically, and the yield curve continued to flatten. The major change in the bond market was a widening of corporate bond spreads that began in earnest in March.

Against this backdrop, Janus Flexible Bond Fund earned a 0.51% return for the six-month period. By comparison, the Fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, gained 0.98%. Early in the period, the Fund's above-market weighting in corporate bonds helped to offset weakness in its Treasury holdings. Nonetheless, our focus on better-quality high-yield issuers kept us from fully capitalizing on a rally that favored more speculative securities. As 2005 got underway, our concerns over razor-thin credit spreads led us to systematically reduce our overweighting in the corporate bond market. Unfortunately, these efforts did not come quickly enough to protect us from the spring sell-off in the corporate bond market caused primarily by General Motors.

Strategy in This Environment

In this uncertain environment, we scaled back our corporate bond exposure, both investment grade and high yield, while adding to our weighting in mortgage-backed securities that are AAA-rated. This strategy proved fortuitous, as mortgage-backed securities were among the best performing asset classes for the six-month period. In addition, we maintained a neutral duration position versus the benchmark in an effort to mitigate relative interest rate risk.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, 61.6% of the Fund's total net assets were invested in U.S. Treasury & Agency bonds, compared to 37.6% in the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund's benchmark. Corporate bonds accounted for 35.8% of the Fund's net assets – reduced from the start of the period, but still higher than the benchmark's 20.0% weighting. Mortgage-backed securities accounted for 26.3% of the Fund's total net assets, while accounting for 34.5% of the benchmark's.

Performance Suffered from an Overweight Position in Corporate Bonds

Despite our focus on better quality issuers, our overweighting in corporate bonds left us vulnerable to a March correction that affected all maturities and credit qualities. Among the hardest hit were our General Motors (GM) Acceptance Corporation bonds, issued by the financing arm of the automotive giant. GM recently has struggled against concerns over disappointing earnings growth, soft vehicle sales and a sizable pension fund liability. Most damaging of all, the automaker lowered its 2005 earnings estimate from a $5 billion gain to a $2 billion loss. This news triggered a series of credit downgrades on GM's bonds. On a positive note, the Fund was significantly underweight in General Motors compared to its benchmark, which helped our relative performance. The negative sentiment generated by the auto sector hurt the performance of the corporate sector in general. If GM and Ford lose their investment-grade status by two of the three major ratings agencies as expected, a major shift will occur in the composition of the corporate bond market.

Janus Flexible Bond Fund (unaudited)

Our high-yield bonds issued by Dallas-based electricity distributor Texas Utilities, or TXU, performed poorly during the period. TXU continues to affirm solid earnings guidance for 2005 and 2006, and its underlying financial performance remains good. However, TXU implemented an aggressive stock repurchase plan, thereby reducing the company's outlook for a credit upgrade. We continue to remain cautious on corporate issuers who are favoring shareholders over bondholders, however, in this instance we continue to believe in the management of TXU.

Our new investment in Noble Group, Asia's largest commodities trader, faltered amid the difficult climate for emerging-market high-yield issues caused by the GM-related market shift. Nonetheless, we remain constructive on Noble's market leadership in China, which has surpassed the United States as the world's most voracious consumer of basic resources.

Mortgage-Backed Securities and Crossover Corporate Bonds Aid Returns

On a positive note, our results benefited from our increased allocation to mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), which outperformed other areas of the fixed-income market. MBS benefited from their high-quality rating (AAA) compared to corporate bonds. In addition, MBS tend to perform well in an interest rate range-bound environment. The U.S. Treasury 10-year yield, the best proxy for mortgage interest rates, moved only 17 basis points over the previous six month period, increasing from 4.03% on October 29 to 4.20% on April 30. This has aided the performance of the MBS market.

Among our corporate bond issues, we capitalized on our selection of crossover bonds. These high-yield issues have earned at least one upgrade from the major credit agencies and are, therefore, strong candidates for investment-grade status. Consequently, they offer solid fundamentals and minimal downside risk. Our crossover investments included our stake in insurance provider Ohio Casualty, which continues to report improved loss ratios and robust earnings growth.

We also maintained our focus on companies that are refinancing their debt and lowering their borrowing costs. These included electrical utility company Reliant Resources and Owens-Illinois, now called O-I, the world's largest maker of glass containers. O-I has sweetened its profit margins by slashing overhead costs and spinning off its less-profitable blow-molded plastics operations.

Our Nextel bonds benefited from news of a planned merger between the wireless communications company and its rival, Sprint. This deal will create the nation's third-largest cellular carrier, with 38.5 million customers. Nextel also reported solid earnings growth and healthy guidance, aided in part by the popularity of its new Boost Mobile "pay-as-you-go" service, which helped spur a 34% increase in its net subscriber growth for the first quarter.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

Given the risks of further Fed interest rate tightening, we will continue our efforts to mitigate relative interest rate risk by remaining in line with the benchmark in terms of duration. We have taken a more cautious approach to the corporate debt market, where we will continue to favor better-quality issuers that we believe are well-positioned to weather market uncertainty. We also continue to invest in mortgage-backed securities that are AAA-rated, while reducing our weighting in corporate bonds. Above all, our flexible investment mandate allows us to respond to changing market dynamics and pursue healthy returns with mitigated risk across the fixed-income universe.

Thank you for your continued investment in Janus Flexible Bond Fund.

The example below shows you the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and allows you to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. Please refer to page 4 for a detailed explanation of the information presented in these charts.

Expense Example   Beginning Account Value
(11/1/04)
  Ending Account Value
(4/30/05)
  Expenses Paid During Period
(11/1/04-4/30/05) *
 
Actual   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,005.10     $ 3.88    
Hypothetical
(5% return before expenses)
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,020.93     $ 3.91    

 

*Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.78%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses may include the effect of contractual waivers by Janus Capital.

See "Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements."

Bond funds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds owned by the fund. Unlike owning individual bonds, there are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of bond funds.

High-yield/high-risk bonds involve a greater risk of default and price volatility than U.S. Government and other high-quality bonds. High-yield/high-risk bonds can experience sudden and sharp price swings which will affect net asset value.

The return of principal is not guaranteed due to net asset value fluctuation that is caused by changes in the price of specific bonds held in the fund and selling of bonds within the fund by the portfolio manager.

The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the index. The index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Janus Capital Management LLC has contractually agreed to waive the Fund's total operating expenses to levels indicated in the prospectus until at least March 1, 2006.

There were no waivers in effect for the most recent period presented.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

Lipper Inc. - A Reuters Company, is a nationally recognized organization that ranks the performance of mutual funds within a universe of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested.

Effective February 28, 2005, Janus Flexible Income Fund changed its name to Janus Flexible Bond Fund and added to its investment policy to state that at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested in bonds.

Effective February 25, 2005, the Janus Flexible Income Fund changed its primary benchmark from Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Index to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The new primary benchmark will provide a more appropriate comparison to the Fund's investment style. The Fund will retain the Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Index as a secondary index.

Janus High-Yield Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This bond fund strives to provide exposure to the best income and total return opportunities in the high-yield market.

Gibson Smith

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, Janus High-Yield Fund declined 0.64%, compared to a 0.08% gain by its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers High-Yield Bond Index.

The high-yield market enjoyed a strong rally early in the period, as generally healthy economic performance and an easing of election-related uncertainty led investors to seek higher returns in riskier assets as we headed into year-end 2004. But investors began to reassess their appetites for risk as surging oil prices, growing inflation concerns and disappointing corporate earnings news captured headlines in early 2005. Unfortunately, historically tight spreads left corporate bonds vulnerable to rising interest rates and renewed credit concerns. As a result, the high-yield market sold off in March, with riskier issues suffering the sharpest correction.

Against this backdrop, the Fund failed to keep pace with the broader high-yield market, largely due to our focus on better-quality issues and our avoidance of many of the more speculative CCC-rated securities favored in the late 2004 rally. While this focus on quality helped us avoid significant credit problems, the Fund was not insulated from the broad March sell-off, which led to negative returns across the high-yield spectrum.

Strategy in This Environment

During this volatile period, our emphasis remained on trying to shield our investors from undue market volatility. To this end, we kept the overall duration of the Fund short relative to our benchmark, while we continued to avoid many of the riskier high-yield credits. At the same time, we took steps to insulate the Fund from interest rate risk. We shifted resources away from the tightest segment of the market, BB-rated issues, focusing instead on select B-rated securities. These included carefully researched companies that we believe have sound fundamentals and may ultimately earn credit upgrades; we also added exposure to floating rate bonds, which tend to limit volatility against rising interest rates.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, BB-rated corporate bonds comprised 26.9% of Fund assets, which was below the benchmark weighting. B-rated bonds made up the bulk of our holdings, accounting for an above-market 50.2% share of net assets. The Fund held 12.8% of its net assets in the CCC-rated category – in line with the benchmark weighting. Bonds rated below CCC status accounted for only 1.9% of Fund assets, a below-market exposure. Meanwhile, investment-grade corporate bonds accounted for 1.5% of the Fund's holdings. The Fund's 10 largest holdings comprised 10.1% of its total net assets, with a cash position equal to a 5.1% share. It is important to note that our weighting in CCC-rated paper contains many credits whose credit metrics resemble those of Single B companies. Thus, we believe many are ripe for upgrades in the near future.

Weak Performers Included Holdings in the Automotive Industry

While we avoided many of the significant credit problems in the market, a number of our individual investments struggled during the period. In particular, our stake in automaker General Motors detracted from performance. GM shook the fixed-income market by projecting a $2 billion loss for 2005. The company has recently struggled with mounting healthcare obligations, rising interest rates and higher commodity prices.

GM's woes weighed on other auto-related holdings, including our investment in Affinia Group, Collins and Aikman, which we liquidated, and Tenneco Automotive, a leading manufacturer of emission and ride control systems. In light of the negative tone in the sector, Tenneco continues to cut costs and pay down debt. The company dedicated some of its healthy 2004 cash flow growth to prepaying $40 million of its $396 million Term Loan B credit facility – reducing its annual interest expense by about $2 million. Tenneco continues to outperform its industry in most segments, benefiting from its international diversification and growing consumer demand for better emissions controls.

Our position in CNH Global, formerly Case New Holland, a global producer of agricultural and construction equipment, weighed on our performance as concerns around global demand for its products surfaced. The company maintains an outstanding liquidity profile with over $2 billion in cash on the balance sheet. Also, our position in energy producer Dynegy weighed on performance as the company moved to a more shareholder friendly stance after spending the last two years cleaning up its balance sheet.

Finally, we reduced our position in Irish pharmaceutical maker Elan, after the company voluntarily suspended sales of its multiple sclerosis drug Tysabri amid safety concerns.

Wireless Telecommunications Holdings Aided Returns

On a positive note, a number of our wireless communications bonds benefited from consolidation headlines following news of the planned merger between Sprint and Nextel (one of our holdings). Standouts included Rogers Wireless, Centennial Cellular and Western Wireless. Centennial Cellular boasts a wireless footprint in the upper Midwest. Meanwhile, rural telecommunications provider Western Wireless is set to be acquired by investment-grade-rated Alltel later this year. The announcement led to significantly higher prices of our Western Wireless holdings.

In addition to our wireless holdings, our position in two wireline companies added to performance. Our position in the floating rate bonds of Qwest Communications and our position in a regional wireline company Eschelon added to performance.

Marquee Holdings, the holding company for AMC Entertainment, one of the world's largest movie theater chains, added to our overall performance. AMC continues to generate solid cash flows due in part to strong box office sales. Another of our media holdings, Warner Music, benefited from news of the proposed initial public offering, resulting in reduced leverage.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

The recent back-up in interest rates and the widening of corporate bond spreads has presented numerous new opportunities within the high-yield universe. In addition, the recent volatility in the automotive sector, in particular the concerns around General Motors and Ford, should present some outstanding opportunities in the future. We remain committed to bottom-up, fundamental, hands-on research and diligent credit analysis. In light of the recent volatility in the market, we continue to focus on the return profiles of every security that enters the Fund, with a close eye on upside/downside. Despite the recent spread widening, we remain upbeat on the underlying fundamentals in the high-yield market. Many companies continue to reduce their leverage, strengthen their balance sheets and vie for upgrades by the ratings agencies. We will continue our efforts in managing the risk profile of the Fund via our detailed, disciplined process, and remain focused on uncovering the best total return opportunities for our shareholders.

Thank you for your investment in Janus High-Yield Fund.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Call 1-800-525-3713 or visit www.janus.com for performance current to the most recent month-end.

See Notes to Schedules of Investments for index definitions.

Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

The date of the Lipper ranking is slightly different from when the Fund began operations since Lipper provides fund rankings as of the last day of the month or the first Thursday after fund inception.

* The Fund's inception date – December 29, 1995

Fund Expenses

The example below shows you the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and allows you to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. Please refer to page 4 for a detailed explanation of the information presented in these charts.

Expense Example   Beginning Account Value
(11/1/04)
  Ending Account Value
(4/30/05)
  Expenses Paid During Period
(11/1/04-4/30/05) *
 
Actual   $ 1,000.00     $ 993.60     $ 4.35    
Hypothetical
(5% return before expenses)
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,020.43     $ 4.41    

 

*Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.88%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses may include the effect of contractual waivers by Janus Capital.

See "Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements."

Bond funds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds owned by the fund. Unlike owning individual bonds, there are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of bond funds.

The return of principal is not guaranteed due to net asset value fluctuation that is caused by changes in the price of specific bonds held in the fund and selling of bonds within the fund by the portfolio manager.

The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the index. The index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

High-yield/high-risk bonds involve a greater risk of default and price volatility than U.S. Government and other high-quality bonds. High-yield/high-risk bonds can experience sudden and sharp price swings which will affect net asset value.

Janus Capital Management LLC has contractually agreed to waive the Fund's total operating expenses to levels indicated in the prospectus until at least March 1, 2006.

There were no waivers in effect for the most recent period presented.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

A 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 3 months or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.

Lipper Inc. - A Reuters Company, is a nationally recognized organization that ranks the performance of mutual funds within a universe of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested.

Janus Short-Term Bond Fund (unaudited)

Fund Snapshot

This bond fund looks for investments that can provide a modest return while minimizing risk.

Gibson Smith

portfolio manager

Performance Overview

For the six months ended April 30, 2005, Janus Short-Term Bond Fund declined 0.10%. This compares to a 0.05% gain by its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Government/Credit 1-3 Year Index.

The fixed-income market was volatile during the period, as investors weighed generally positive economic news, heightened inflation fears and measured interest rate tightenings by the Federal Reserve ("Fed"). During the period, the Fed raised overnight rates four times, for a total of one percentage point. This took the federal funds rate to 3.00%, up from 1% a year earlier. The Fed's ongoing campaign of measured tightenings kept upward pressure on short-term interest rates, causing the yield curve to flatten more dramatically late in the period. In light of inflation concerns, the front end of the market began to price in more aggressive Fed rate tightening before the end of 2005.

Meanwhile, the corporate bond market initially benefited from generally healthy economic news and an easing of election-related uncertainty. As investors sought higher yields, the high-yield market outperformed into early 2005. But the corporate bond market corrected sharply in March as inflation fears and several high-profile earnings misses dampened investors' appetites for risk. The resulting sell-off pressured all maturities and rating classes.

Strategy in This Environment

Fund positioning during this period reflected our concerns over rising interest rates and narrow corporate credit spreads. We maintained a short duration relative to the benchmark and continued to upgrade the overall quality of the Fund by reducing our weight in corporate bonds. Unfortunately, our repositioning of the Fund in an effort to shield our investors from associated risks related to rising rates and tight credit spreads worked against us, leading to marginal underperformance versus our benchmark.

Lower-quality credit aided our relative performance early in the period as the high-yield market rallied. As 2005 got underway, however, our concerns over narrow credit spreads led us to reduce the Fund's overall weighting in credit by selling many of our lower rated credit positives, while at the same time adding more exposure to less interest-rate-sensitive vehicles such as Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS) and floating-rate corporate bonds. In addition, we increased the Fund's weighting in U.S. Treasuries.

Portfolio Composition

As of April 30, 2005, 63.7% of the Fund's net assets were invested in U.S. Treasury Notes – above the benchmark weighting. Investment-grade corporate bonds accounted for 20.9% of net assets, while high-yield corporate issues comprised a 9.8% share.

Weak Performers Included Holdings in the Automotive and Finance Industries

Traditional Treasury bonds were among our worst performers for the period as rising rates lead to lower prices. Among our corporate issues, GMAC, General Motors' financing arm, detracted from the Fund's results. The company has recently struggled with mounting healthcare obligations, rising interest rates and higher commodity prices. In March, the automaker shook the market by projecting a $2 billion loss for 2005. GM's announcement started the trend for wider corporate bond spreads and put pressure on many of our other corporate bond positions.

Meanwhile, our holdings in financially sensitive corporations Citigroup, Berkshire Hathaway and Fannie Mae were all hurt by rising interest rates. The Fund remains underweight in agency debt versus the Index.

Returns Benefited from Floating Rate Bonds and Select Corporate Issues

On a positive note, we benefited from our weighting in floating rate bonds. Floating rate corporate bonds generally offer coupons that adjust quarterly thus helping to mitigate the Fund's overall interest rate exposure. Among our successes was our floating rate investment in Freescale Semiconductors, a semi-chip business spun off by wireless equipment maker Motorola. Freescale's management team is commited to achieving investment-grade status and continues to slash costs, improve operating efficiency and bolster cash flow. In addition, the company carries a cash balance greater than its debt outstanding.

Another standout among our floating-rate issues was our investment in paper company Boise Cascade. In the fourth quarter of 2004, Boise Cascade sold its timber lands and slated the $1.68 billion in proceeds for debt repayment. Moreover, because of Boise Cascade's contract for supplying paper materials to Office Depot, its cash flow remains relatively consistent, another upside for bond investors.

Canadian mobile phone company Rogers Communications also contributed to the Fund. Rogers saw its bonds downgraded to high-yield status after a large debt issue added to its leverage. Nonetheless, we believe that this fast-growing company will generate significant free cash flow, allowing the company to reduce its leverage. For this reason, we believe it will return to investment-grade status within a few years.

Retailer May Department Store's bonds gained from news of its planned $11 billion merger with industry giant Federated Department Stores. May operates 490 department stores nationwide, including the Lord & Taylor and Robinson-May properties.

Meanwhile, our holdings in utilities Pacific Gas and Electric and TXU Corporation showed strong results, as did our holding in Enterprise Products LLP.

Investment Strategy and Outlook

Despite the recent correction in interest rates and corporate bond spreads, we continue to find good total return ideas within the market. We will continue our efforts to mitigate interest rate risk by keeping the duration of our Fund slightly short of our benchmark. At the same time, we remain on the lookout for opportunities within the credit universe.

In light of recent volatility in the market, we are paying very close attention to the return profiles of every issue that enters the portfolio, making sure we are weighting our best total return opportunities to try to maximize our return for our shareholders.

Thank you for your investment in Janus Short-Term Bond Fund.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Call 1-800-525-3713 or visit www.janus.com for performance current to the most recent month-end.

See Notes to Schedules of Investments for index definitions.

Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

The date of the Lipper ranking is slightly different from when the fund began operations since Lipper provides fund rankings as of the last day of the month or the first Thursday after fund inception.

* The Fund's inception date – September 1, 1992

** The Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Index's since inception returns are calculated from August 31, 1992

Fund Expenses

The example below shows you the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and allows you to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. Please refer to page 4 for a detailed explanation of the information presented in these charts.

Expense Example   Beginning Account Value
(11/1/04)
  Ending Account Value
(4/30/05)
  Expenses Paid During Period
(11/1/04-4/30/05) *
 
Actual   $ 1,000.00     $ 999.00     $ 3.17    
Hypothetical
(5% return before expenses)
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,021.62     $ 3.21    

 

*Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.64%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses include the effect of contractual waivers by Janus Capital.

See "Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements."

Bond funds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds owned by the fund. Unlike owning individual bonds, there are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of bonds funds.

The return of principal is not guaranteed due to net asset value fluctuation that is caused by changes in the price of specific bonds held in the fund and selling of bonds within the fund by the portfolio manager.

The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the index. The index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Janus Capital Management LLC has contractually agreed to waive the Fund's total operating expenses to levels indicated in the prospectus until at least March 1, 2006. Without such waivers, yields and total return would have been lower.

There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.

Lipper Inc. - A Reuters Company, is a nationally recognized organization that ranks the performance of mutual funds within a universe of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested.

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Call 1-800-525-3713 or visit www.janus.com for current month end performance.

An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Funds.

See "Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements."

Income may be subject to state or local taxes and to a limited extent certain federal tax.

The yield more closely reflects the current earnings of each Money Market Fund than the total return.

Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

Janus Capital Management LLC has contractually agreed to waive each Fund's total operating expenses to the level indicated in the prospectus until at least March 1, 2006. Without such waivers, yields and total returns would have been lower.

See Notes to Schedules of Investments and Financial Statements.

In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

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 Federal Tax-Exempt Fund, Janus Flexible Bond Fund (formerly named Janus Flexible Income Fund), Janus High-Yield Fund and Janus Short-Term Bond Fund (collectively the "Bond Funds") and Janus Money Market Fund, Janus Government Money Market Fund and Janus Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (collectively the "Money Market Funds") are series funds. The Bond Funds and the Money Market Funds (collectively the "Funds" and individually a "Fund") are part of Janus Investment Fund (the "Trust"), which was organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company. The Trust has twenty-nine funds. The Bond Funds invest primarily in income-producing securities, and the Money Market Funds invest in high-quality money market instruments. Each of the Bond Funds in this report is classified as diversified as defined in the 1940 Act. The Funds are no-load investments.

The Money Market Funds offer three classes of shares: "Investor Shares" are available to the general public, "Institutional Shares" are available only to investors that meet certain minimum dollar limits, and "Service Shares" are available through banks and other financial institutions.

The following accounting policies have been consistently followed by the Funds and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the investment company industry.

Investment Valuation

Securities are valued at the closing price for securities traded on a principal securities exchange (U.S. or foreign) and on the NASDAQ National Market. Securities traded on over-the-counter 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 making a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by the Funds' Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within 60 days and all money market securities in the Money Market Funds are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Foreign securities and currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate in effect as of the daily close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). When market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, or events or circumstances that may affect the value of portfolio securities held by the funds are identified between the closing of their principal markets and time the net asset value ("NAV") is determined, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the supervision of the Funds' Trustees. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value international equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and 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. 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 for each of the Money Market Funds based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of total net assets.

Expenses

Each Bond Fund bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf as well as a portion of general expenses. Each class of shares of each Money Market Fund bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf and, in addition, each class bears a portion of general expenses, which may be based upon relative net assets of each class.

Securities Lending

Under procedures adopted by the Trustees, the Funds may lend securities to qualified parties (typically brokers or other financial institutions) who need to borrow securities in order to complete certain transactions such as covering short sales, avoiding failures to deliver securities or completing arbitrage activities. The Funds' Trustees periodically review securities lending activities to monitor compliance with the securities lending procedures. The Funds may seek to earn additional income through securities lending. 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 Management LLC ("Janus Capital") makes efforts to balance the benefits and risks from granting such loans.

The Funds will not have the right to vote on securities while they are being lent, however, the Funds may attempt to call back the loan and vote the proxy. 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 or such other collateral permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

60 Janus Bond & Money Market Funds April 30, 2005



The lending agent may also invest the cash collateral in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio or investments in unaffiliated money market funds or accounts, mutually agreed to by the Funds and the lending agent that complies with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act relating to money market funds.

As of April 30, 2005, the Funds had on loan securities valued as indicated:

Fund   Value at
April 30, 2005
 
Janus Flexible Bond Fund(1)   $ 173,351,654    
Janus Short-Term Bond Fund     57,531,500    

 

(1)  Formerly named Janus Flexible Income Fund.

As of April 30, 2005, the Funds received cash collateral for securities lending activity as indicated:

Fund   Cash Collateral at
April 30, 2005
 
Janus Flexible Bond Fund(1)   $ 176,882,394    
Janus Short-Term Bond Fund     58,714,125    

 

(1)  Formerly named Janus Flexible Income Fund.

As of April 30, 2005, all cash collateral received by the Funds was invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio.

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 which 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 respective 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 borrower pays fees at the Funds' direction to its lending agent. The lending agent may retain a portion of the interest earned. The cash collateral invested by the lending agent is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The lending fees and the Funds' portion of the interest income earned on cash collateral is included on the Statement of Operations (if applicable).

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, there were no securities lending arrangements for Janus Federal Tax-Exempt Fund, Janus High-Yield Fund or the Money Market Funds.

Interfund Lending

Pursuant to an exemptive order received from the SEC, each of the Funds may be party to an interfund lending agreement between the Funds and other Janus Capital sponsored mutual funds, which permit it to borrow or lend cash, at a rate beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Outstanding borrowings from all sources totaling 10% or more of a borrowing Fund's total assets must be collateralized at 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan; loans of less than 10% may be unsecured. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, there were no outstanding borrowing or lending arrangements for the Funds.

Forward Currency Transactions

The Bond Funds may enter into forward currency contracts in order to reduce their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings and to lock in the U.S. dollar cost of firm purchase and sale commitments for securities denominated in or exposed to foreign currencies. A forward currency exhange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. 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 or loss from foreign currency transactions in the Statement of Operations (if applicable).

Forward currency contracts held by the Bond Funds are fully collateralized by other securities, which are denoted in the accompanying Schedule of Investments (if applicable). The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its market value equals or exceeds the current market value of the corresponding forward currency contracts.

Futures Contracts

The Bond Funds may enter into futures contracts. The Bond Funds intend to use such derivative instruments primarily to hedge or protect from adverse movements in securities prices, currency rates or interest rates. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying securities, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations.

Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily, and the daily variation margin is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When a contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. Generally, futures contracts are marked to market (i.e., treated as realized and subject to distribution) for federal income tax purposes at fiscal year-end. Securities designated as collateral for market value on futures contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. Such collateral is in the possession of the Funds' custodian.

When-issued Securities

The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and

Janus Bond & Money Market Funds April 30, 2005 61



Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Funds may hold liquid assets as collateral with the Funds' custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from 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 on investments and foreign currency translation arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities 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 security transactions and income.

Foreign-denominated assets and forward currency contracts may involve more risks than domestic transactions, including currency risk, political and economic risk, regulatory risk and market 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.

Initial Public Offerings

The Funds may invest in initial public offerings ("IPOs"). IPOs and other investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on a fund with a small asset base. The Funds may not experience similar performance as their assets grow.

Additional Investment Risk

Janus High-Yield Fund is, and Janus Flexible Bond Fund and Janus Short-Term Bond Fund may be, invested in lower-rated debt securities that have a higher risk of default or loss of value because of changes in the economy, political environment, or adverse developments specific to the issuer.

Restricted Security Transactions

Restricted securities held by a Fund may not be sold except in exempt transactions or in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933. 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 a 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.

Dividend Distributions

Dividends representing substantially all of the net investment income and any net realized capital gains on sales of securities are declared daily and distributed monthly. The majority of dividends and capital gains distributions from a Fund will be automatically reinvested into additional shares of that Fund.

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.

Federal Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Funds intend to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.

Indemnifications

Under the Funds' organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

Until at least March 1, 2006, provided that Janus Capital remains investment adviser to the Bond Funds, Janus Capital has agreed to reimburse the following Funds by the amount, if any, that such Fund's normal operating expenses in any fiscal year, including the investment advisory fee, but excluding brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, exceed the annual rates noted below. Janus Capital is not entitled to recoup such reimbursements or fee reductions from the Funds. If applicable, amounts reimbursed to the Funds by Janus Capital are disclosed as Excess Expense Reimbursement on the Statement of Operations.

Fund   Expense Limit
Fee %
 
Janus Federal Tax-Exempt Fund     0.55 %  
Janus Flexible Bond Fund(1)     0.93 %  
Janus High-Yield Fund     0.90 %  
Janus Short-Term Bond Fund     0.64 %  

 

(1)  Formerly named Janus Flexible Income Fund

Each of the Money Market Funds pays Janus Capital 0.20% of average daily net assets as an investment advisory fee. Effective July 1, 2003, Janus Capital agreed to reduce its advisory fee for each of the Money Market Funds to 0.10%. In addition, each class of shares of each of the Money Market Funds pays Janus Capital an administrative fee. This fee is 0.50%, 0.15%, and 0.40% of average daily net assets for the Investor Shares, Institutional Shares, and Service Shares, respectively. Effective April 1, 2002, Janus Capital agreed to reduce the administrative fee to 0.08% and 0.33% on the Institutional Shares and Service Shares, respectively, for both Janus Money Market Fund and Janus Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund. Additionally, the administrative fee was reduced to 0.05% and 0.30% on the Institutional Shares and Service Shares, respectively, for Janus Government Money Market Fund effective April 1, 2002. For the Service Shares of each of the Money Market Funds, a portion of the administrative fee, designated separately as service fees, is used to compensate Financial Institutions for providing administrative services to their customers who invest in the shares. Each of the Money Market Funds pay those expenses not assumed by Janus Capital. The expenses not assumed by Janus Capital include interest and taxes, fees and expenses of trustees who are not interested persons of Janus Capital, audit fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses.

A 2.00% redemption fee may be imposed on shares of Janus High-Yield Fund held for three months or less. This fee is paid to the Fund rather than Janus Capital, and is designed to deter excessive short-term trading and to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with changes in the Fund's asset level and cash flow due to short-term money movements in and out of the Fund. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to Paid-in Capital. Total redemption fees received by Janus High-Yield Fund were $69,737 for the six-month period ended April 30, 2005.

Each of the Bond Funds pays Janus Services LLC ("Janus Services"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, an asset-weighted average annual fee based on the proportion of each of the Bond Funds' total net assets sold directly and the proportion of each of the Bond Funds' net assets sold through financial intermediaries. The applicable fee rates are 0.16% of net assets on the proportion of assets sold directly and 0.21% on the proportion of assets sold through intermediaries. In addition, Janus Services receives $4.00 per open shareholder account from each of the Bond Funds for transfer agent services plus reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses (primarily postage and telephone charges).

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, Janus Services reimbursed Janus Federal Tax-Exempt Fund, Janus Flexible Bond Fund, Janus High-Yield Fund and Janus Short-Term Bond Fund $279, $340, $21 and $589, respectively, as a result of dilutions caused by incorrectly processed shareholder activity.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, Janus Capital assumed $3,084 of legal, consulting and Trustee costs and fees incurred by the funds in Janus Investment Fund, Janus Aspen Series and Janus Adviser Series ("Portfolios") in connection with the regulatory and civil litigation matters discussed in Note 6. These non-recurring costs were allocated to all Portfolios based on the Portfolios' respective net assets at July 31, 2004. Additionally, all future non-recurring costs will be allocated to all Portfolios based on the Portfolios' respective net assets at July 31, 2004. These non-recurring costs and offsetting waiver are shown in the Statement of Operations. The effect of non-recurring costs was de minimis.

Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds may also be officers and/or directors of Janus Capital; however, such officers and Trustees receive no compensation from the Funds.

The Bond Funds' expenses may be reduced by expense offsets from an unaffiliated custodian. Such offsets are included in Expense and Fee Offsets on the Statement of Operations. Custody credits received reduce Custodian Fees. The Funds could have employed the assets used by the custodian to produce income if it had not entered into an expense offset arrangement.

The Funds may invest in money market funds, including funds managed by Janus Capital. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the Funds did not have affiliated purchases in the money market funds.

4. FEDERAL INCOME TAX

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.

The Funds have elected to treat gains and losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts as capital gains and losses. Other foreign currency gains and losses on debt instruments are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investment securities for federal income tax purposes as of April 30, 2005 are noted below.

Unrealized appreciation and unrealized depreciation in the table below exclude appreciation/(depreciation) on foreign currency translations. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of investments is wash sale loss deferrals.

6. LEGAL MATTERS

In September 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC'') and the Office of the New York State Attorney General ("NYAG'') publicly announced that they were investigating trading practices in the mutual fund industry. The investigations were prompted by the NYAG's settlement with a hedge fund, Canary Capital, which allegedly engaged in irregular trading practices with certain mutual fund companies. While Janus Capital was not named as a defendant in the NYAG complaint against the hedge fund, Janus Capital was mentioned in the complaint as having allowed Canary Capital to ''market time'' certain Janus funds, allegedly in contradiction to policies stated in prospectuses for certain Janus funds.

Subsequent to the announcements by the SEC and the NYAG, the Colorado Attorney General ("COAG'') and the Colorado Division of Securities announced that they were each initiating investigations into Janus Capital's mutual fund trading practices. On August 18, 2004, Janus Capital announced that it had reached final settlements with the NYAG, the COAG, the Colorado Division of Securities and the SEC related to such regulators' investigations into Janus Capital's frequent trading arrangements.

A number of civil lawsuits were also brought against Janus Capital and certain of its affiliates, the Janus funds, and related entities and individuals based on allegations similar to those contained in the NYAG complaint against Canary Capital. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories for recovery including, but not limited to the federal securities laws, other federal statutes (including ERISA) and various common law doctrines.

These "market timing" lawsuits were filed in a number of state and federal jurisdictions. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has finally or conditionally transferred all but one of these actions to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for coordinated proceedings. On September 29, 2004, five consolidated amended complaints were filed in that court. These complaints are the operative complaints in the coordinated proceedings and, as a practical matter, supersede the previously filed complaints. The five complaints include: (i) claims by a putative class of investors in the Janus funds asserting claims on behalf of the investor class; (ii) derivative claims by investors in the Janus funds ostensibly on behalf of the Janus funds; (iii) claims on behalf of participants in the Janus 401(k) plan; (iv) claims brought on behalf of shareholders of JCG on a derivative basis against the Board of Directors of JCG; and (v) claims by a putative class of shareholders of JCG asserting claims on behalf of the shareholders. Each of the five complaints name JCG and/or Janus Capital as a defendant. In addition, the following are named as defendants in one or more of the actions: Janus Investment Fund ("JIF"), Janus Aspen Series ("JAS"), Janus Adviser Series ("JAD"), Janus Distributors LLC, Enhanced Investment Technologies LLC ("INTECH"), Bay Isle, Perkins Wolf McDonnell and Company LLC ("Perkins"), the Advisory Committee of the Janus 401(k) plan, and the current or former directors of JCG.

In early 2005, a lawsuit was filed in the State of Kansas alleging violations under Kansas law based on Janus Capital's involvement in the market timing allegations. Also, the Attorney General's Office for the State of West Virginia recently filed a market timing related civil action against Janus Capital and several other non-affiliated mutual fund companies, claiming violations under the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act. The civil action requests certain monetary penalties, among other relief.

In addition to the "market timing'' actions described above, three civil lawsuits were filed against Janus Capital challenging the investment advisory fees charged by Janus Capital to certain Janus funds. One such lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed. The remaining two lawsuits are currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. On January 31, 2005, the court entered an order granting a joint motion to consolidate the cases and allowing the consolidated amended complaint filed with the motion. The consolidated amended complaint is the operative complaint in the coordinated proceedings. The complaint asserts claims under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

A lawsuit was also filed against Janus Capital and certain affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado alleging that Janus Capital failed to ensure that certain Janus funds participated in securities class action settlements for which the funds were eligible. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 36(a), 36(b) and 47(b) of the Investment Company Act, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence.

Additional lawsuits may be filed against certain of the Janus funds, Janus Capital and related parties in the future. Janus Capital does not currently believe that these pending actions will materially affect its ability to continue providing services it has agreed to provide to the Funds.

On March 16, 2005, Bay Isle received a document request in connection with the SEC's informal inquiry into issues raised by the SEC staff in a deficiency letter resulting from a routine examination of Bay Isle in March 2004. Bay Isle is in the process of responding to such request. In addition, the SEC examination of Janus Capital commenced in September 2003 remains open.

Explanations of Charts, Tables and
Financial Statements
(unaudited)

1. PERFORMANCE OVERVIEWS

Performance overview graphs compare the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each Fund (from inception) with one or more widely used market indices. The hypothetical example does not represent the returns of any particular investment.

When comparing the performance of a Fund with an index, keep in mind that market indices do not include brokerage commissions that would be incurred if you purchased the individual securities in the index. They also do not include taxes payable on dividends and interest or operating expenses incurred if you maintained a Fund invested in the index.

Average annual total returns are also quoted for each of the Bond Funds and each class of the Money Market Funds. 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 any dividends, distributions and capital gains, 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.

2. SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS

Following the performance overview section is each Fund's Schedule of Investments. This schedule reports the industry concentrations and types of securities held in each Fund on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are usually listed by type (common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. Government obligations, etc.) and by industry classification (banking, communications, insurance, etc.). Holdings are subject to change without notice.

The value of each security is quoted as of the last day of the reporting period. The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies is converted into U.S. dollars. Certain short-term investments maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Funds that invest in foreign securities also provide a summary of investments by country. This summary reports the Fund's exposure to different countries by providing the percentage of securities invested in each country. The country of each security represents the country in which the company is incorporated.

2A. FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS

A table listing forward currency contracts follows each Fund's Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Forward currency contracts are agreements to deliver or receive a preset amount of currency at a future date. Forward currency contracts are used to hedge against foreign currency risk in the Fund's long-term holdings.

The table provides the name of the foreign currency, the settlement date of the contract, the amount of the contract, the value of the currency in U.S. dollars and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the change in currency exchange rates from the time the contract was opened to the last day of the reporting period.

2B. FUTURES

A table listing futures contracts follows each Fund's Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Futures contracts are contracts that obligate the buyer to receive and the seller to deliver an instrument or money at a specified price on a specified date. Futures are used to hedge against adverse movements in securities prices, currency risk or interest rates.

The table provides the name of the contract, number of contracts held, the expiration date, the principal amount, value and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss reflects the marked-to-market amount for the last day of the reporting period.

3. STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

This statement is often referred to as the "balance sheet." It lists the assets and liabilities of the Funds on the last day of the reporting period.

The Funds' assets are calculated by adding the value of the securities owned, the receivable for securities sold but not yet settled, the receivable for dividends declared but not yet received on stocks owned and the receivable for Fund shares sold to investors but not yet settled. The Funds' liabilities include payables for securities purchased but not yet settled, Fund shares redeemed but not yet paid and expenses owed but not yet paid. Additionally, there may be other assets and liabilities such as unrealized gain or loss on forward currency contracts.

The section entitled "Net Assets Consist of" breaks down the components of the Funds' net assets. Because Funds must distribute substantially all earnings, you'll 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 for each Fund and each class of the Money Market Funds. The NAV is calculated by dividing the Funds' net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding.

4. STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

This statement details the Funds' income, expenses, gains and losses on securities and currency transactions, and appreciation or depreciation of current Fund holdings.

The first section in this statement, entitled "Investment Income," reports the dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the Funds.

The next section reports the expenses incurred by the Funds, including the advisory fee paid to the investment adviser, transfer agent fees and expenses, and printing and postage for mailing statements, financial reports and prospectuses. Expense offsets, if any, are also shown.

The last section lists the increase or decrease in the value of securities held in the Funds. Funds realize a gain (or loss) when they sell their position in a particular security. An unrealized gain (or loss) refers to the change in net appreciation or depreciation of the Funds during the period. "Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) on Investments" is affected both by changes in the market value of Fund holdings and by gains (or losses) realized during the reporting period.

5. STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

This statement reports the increase or decrease in the Funds' net assets during the reporting period. Changes in the Funds' net assets are attributable to investment operations, dividends, distributions and capital share transactions. This is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the Funds' net asset size to change during the period.

The first section summarizes the information from the Statement of Operations regarding changes in net assets due to the Funds' investment performance. The Funds' net assets may also change as a result of dividend and capital gains distributions to investors. If investors receive their dividends in cash, money is taken out of the Fund to pay the distribution. If investors reinvest their dividends, the Funds' net assets will not be affected. If you compare each Fund's "Net Decrease from Dividends and Distributions" to the "Reinvested dividends and distributions," you'll notice that dividend distributions had little effect on each Fund's net assets. This is because the majority of Janus investors reinvest their distributions.

The reinvestment of dividends is included under "Capital Share Transactions." "Capital Shares" refers to the money investors contribute to the Funds through purchases or withdrawals via redemptions. The "Redemption Fees" refers to the fee paid to the Funds for shares held for three months or less by a shareholder. The Funds' net assets will increase and decrease in value as investors purchase and redeem shares from the Funds.

6. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

This schedule provides a per-share breakdown of the components that affect the Funds' NAV for current and past reporting periods for the Bond Funds and each class of the Money Market Funds. Not only does this table provide you with total return, it also reports total distributions, asset size, expense ratios and portfolio turnover rate (as applicable).

The first line in the table reflects the NAV per share at the beginning of the reporting period. The next line reports the net investment income per share, which comprises dividends and interest income earned on securities held by the Funds. Following is the total of gains/(losses), realized and unrealized. Dividends and distributions are then subtracted to arrive at the NAV per share at the end of the period.

The next line reflects the average annual total return reported the last day of the period.

Also included are the expense ratios, or the percentage of net assets that were used to cover operating expenses during the period. Expense ratios vary across the Funds for a number of reasons, including the differences in management fees, the average shareholder account size, the frequency of dividend payments and the extent of foreign investments, which entail greater transaction costs.

The Funds' expenses may be reduced through expense reduction arrangements. These arrangements may include the use of uninvested cash balances earning interest or balance credits. The Statement of Operations reflects total expenses before any such offset, the amount of offset and the net expenses. The expense ratios listed in the Financial Highlights reflect total expenses prior to any expense offsets (gross expense ratio) and after the expense offsets (net expense ratio). Both expense ratios reflect expenses after waivers (reimbursements), if applicable.

The ratio of net investment income/(loss) summarizes the income earned less expenses divided by the average net assets of a Fund during the reporting period. Don't confuse this ratio with a Fund's yield. The net investment income ratio is not a true measure of a Fund's yield because it doesn't take into account the dividends distributed to the Fund's investors.

The next ratio is the portfolio turnover rate, which measures the buying and selling activity in a Fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the asset size of a Fund, the nature of the Fund's investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager. A 100% rate implies that an amount equal to the value of the entire portfolio is turned over in a year; a 50% rate means that an amount equal to the value of half the portfolio is traded in a year; and a 200% rate means that an amount equal to the value of the portfolio is traded every six months.

Janus provides access to a wide range of investment disciplines.

Growth

Janus growth funds focus on companies believed to be the leaders in their respective industries, with solid management teams, expanding market share, margins and efficiencies.

Core

Janus core funds seek investments in more stable and predictable companies. These funds look for a strategic combination of steady growth and for certain funds, some degree of income.

Risk-Managed

Janus risk-managed funds seek to outperform their respective indices while maintaining a risk profile equal to or lower than the index itself. Managed by INTECH, these funds use a mathematical process in an attempt to build a more "efficient" portfolio than the index.

Value

Janus value funds invest in companies they believe are poised for a turnaround or are trading at a significant discount to fair value. The goal is to gain unique insight into a company's true value and identify and evaluate potential catalysts that may unlock shareholder value.

International & Global

Janus international and global 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.

Bond & Money Market

Janus bond funds attempt to provide less risk relative to equities while seeking to deliver a competitive total return through high current income and appreciation.

Useful Information About Your Fund Report

Fund Expenses

We believe it's important for our shareholders to have a clear understanding of fund expenses and the impact they have on investment return.

The following is important information regarding the Fund's Expense Example, which appears on page 2 of this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Fund.

Example

As a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six-month period from November 1, 2004 to April 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table in the example provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table in the example provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on 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.

Janus Capital Management LLC ("Janus Capital") has contractually agreed to waive the Fund's total operating expenses, excluding brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses to certain limits until at least March 1, 2006. Expenses in the examples reflect application of these waivers. Had the waivers not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher. More information regarding the waivers is available in the Fund's Prospectus.

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

Data presented represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Call 1-800-525-1068 or visit www.janus.com for performance current to the most recent month-end.

An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

See "Explanations of Charts, Tables and Financial Statements."

The yield more closely reflects the current earnings of Janus Institutional Cash Reserves Fund than the total return.

Janus Capital Management LLC has contractually agreed to waive the Fund's total operating expenses to levels indicated in the prospectus until at least March 1, 2006. Without such waivers, yields and total returns would have been lower.

Fund Expenses

The example below shows you the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and allows you to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. Please refer to page 1 for a detailed explanation of the information presented in these charts.

Expense Example   Beginning Account Value
(11/1/04)
  Ending Account Value
(4/30/05)
  Expenses Paid During Period
(11/1/04-4/30/05)*
 
Actual   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,011.60     $ 0.90    
Hypothetical
(5% return before expenses)
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,023.90     $ 0.90    

 

*Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.18%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses include the effect of contractual waivers by Janus Capital.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

The following section describes the organization and significant accounting policies of Janus Institutional Cash Reserves Fund (the "Fund") and provides more detailed information about the schedules and tables that appear throughout this report. In addition, the Notes to Financial Statements explain how the Fund operates and the methods used in preparing and presenting this report.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is part of Janus Investment Fund (the "Trust") which was organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company. The Trust has twenty-nine funds. The Fund invests primarily in high-quality money market instruments. The Fund is a no-load investment.

The Fund currently offers the initial class of shares exclusively to institutional and individual clients that meet the minimum investment requirement of $5,000,000.

The following accounting policies have been consistently followed by the Fund and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the investment company industry.

Investment Valuation

Securities held by the Fund are valued at their market value determined by the amortized cost method of valuation. If management believes that such valuation does not reflect the securities' fair value, these securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Fund's trustees. Restricted and illiquid securities are valued in accordance with procedures established by the Fund's trustees.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for as of the date purchased or sold (trade date). 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.

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 each of the funds in the Trust.

Interfund Lending

Pursuant to an exemptive order received from the SEC, the Fund may be party to an interfund lending agreement between the Fund and other Janus Capital Management LLC ("Janus Capital") sponsored mutual funds, which permit it to borrow or lend cash, at a rate beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Outstanding borrowings from all sources totaling 10% or more of a borrowing Fund's total assets must be collateralized at 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan; loans of less than 10% may be unsecured. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, there were no outstanding borrowing or lending arrangements for the Fund.

When-issued Securities

The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Fund is required to hold liquid assets as collateral with the Fund's custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price. As of April 30, 2005, the Fund was not invested in when-issued securities.

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. 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 which the Fund seeks to sell. In addition, these securities may exhibit greater price volatility than securities for which secondary markets exist.

Dividend Distributions

Dividends representing substantially all of the Fund's net investment income and any net realized capital gains on sales of securities are declared daily and distributed monthly. The majority of dividends and capital gains distributions from the Fund will be automatically reinvested into additional shares of the Fund.

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.

Federal Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Fund intends to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the

10 Janus Institutional Cash Reserves Fund April 30, 2005



Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.

Indemnifications

Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Fund pays Janus Capital 0.20% of average daily net assets as an investment advisory fee. Janus Capital has agreed to reduce its advisory fee for the Fund to 0.10% until at least March 1, 2006. In addition, the Fund pays Janus Capital an administrative services fee of 0.15%, which Janus Capital agreed to reduce to 0.08% until at least the next annual renewal of the advisory agreement. All other expenses of the Fund except interest and taxes, fees and expenses of Trustees who are not interested persons of Janus Capital, audit fees and extraordinary costs are paid by Janus Capital.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, Janus Capital assumed $3,084 of legal, consulting and Trustee costs and fees incurred by the funds in Janus Investment Fund, Janus Aspen Series and Janus Adviser Series ("Portfolios") in connection with the regulatory and civil litigation matters discussed in Note 5. These non-recurring costs were allocated to all Portfolios based on the Portfolios' respective net assets at July 31, 2004. Additionally, all future non-recurring costs will be allocated to all Portfolios based on the Portfolios' respective net assets at July 31, 2004. These nonrecurring costs and offsetting waiver are shown in the Statement of Operations. The effect of non-recurring costs was de minimis.

Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund may also be officers and/or directors of Janus Capital; however, such officers and Trustees receive no compensation from the Fund.

Other funds managed by Janus Capital may invest in the Fund. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the Fund had the following affiliated activity:

3. FEDERAL INCOME TAX

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.

5. LEGAL MATTERS

In September 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC'') and the Office of the New York State Attorney General ("NYAG'') publicly announced that they were investigating trading practices in the mutual fund industry. The investigations were prompted by the NYAG's settlement with a hedge fund, Canary Capital, which allegedly engaged in irregular trading practices with certain mutual fund companies. While Janus Capital was not named as a defendant in the NYAG complaint against the hedge fund, Janus Capital was mentioned in the complaint as having allowed Canary Capital to "market time'' certain Janus funds, allegedly in contradiction to policies stated in prospectuses for certain Janus funds.

Subsequent to the announcements by the SEC and the NYAG, the Colorado Attorney General ("COAG'') and the Colorado Division of Securities announced that they were each initiating investigations into Janus Capital's mutual fund trading practices. On August 18, 2004, Janus Capital announced that it had reached final settlements with the NYAG, the COAG, the Colorado Division of Securities and the SEC related to such regulators' investigations into Janus Capital's frequent trading arrangements.

A number of civil lawsuits were also brought against Janus Capital and certain of its affiliates, the Janus funds, and related entities and individuals based on allegations similar to those contained in the NYAG complaint against Canary Capital. Such lawsuits allege a variety of theories for recovery including, but not limited to the federal securities laws, other federal statutes (including ERISA) and various common law doctrines.

These "market timing" lawsuits were filed in a number of state and federal jurisdictions. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has finally or conditionally transferred all but one of these actions to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for coordinated proceedings. On September 29, 2004, five consolidated amended complaints were filed in that court. These complaints are the operative complaints in the coordinated proceedings and, as a practical matter, supersede the previously filed complaints. The five complaints include: (i) claims by a putative class of investors in the Janus funds asserting claims on behalf of the investor class; (ii) derivative claims by investors in the Janus funds ostensibly on behalf of the Janus funds; (iii) claims on behalf of participants in the Janus 401(k) plan; (iv) claims brought on behalf of shareholders of JCG on a derivative basis against the Board of Directors of JCG; and (v) claims by a putative class of shareholders of JCG asserting claims on behalf of the shareholders. Each of the five complaints name JCG and/or Janus Capital as a defendant. In addition, the following are named as defendants in one or more of the actions: Janus Investment Fund ("JIF"), Janus Aspen Series ("JAS"), Janus Adviser Series ("JAD"), Janus Distributors LLC, Enhanced Investment Technologies LLC ("INTECH"), Bay Isle, Perkins Wolf McDonnell and Company LLC ("Perkins"), the Advisory Committee of the Janus 401(k) plan, and the current or former directors of JCG.

In early 2005, a lawsuit was filed in the State of Kansas alleging violations under Kansas law based on Janus Capital's involvement in the market timing allegations. Also, the Attorney General's Office for the State of West Virginia recently filed a market timing related civil action against Janus Capital and several other non-affiliated mutual fund companies, claiming violations under the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act. The civil action requests certain monetary penalties, among other relief.

In addition to the "market timing'' actions described above, three civil lawsuits were filed against Janus Capital challenging the investment advisory fees charged by Janus Capital to certain Janus funds. One such lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed. The remaining two lawsuits are currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. On January 31, 2005, the court entered an order granting a joint motion to consolidate the cases and allowing the consolidated amended complaint filed with the motion. The consolidated amended complaint is the operative complaint in the coordinated proceedings. The complaint asserts claims under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

A lawsuit was also filed against Janus Capital and certain affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado alleging that Janus Capital failed to ensure that certain Janus funds participated in securities class action settlements for which the funds were eligible. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 36(a), 36(b) and 47(b) of the Investment Company Act, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence.

Additional lawsuits may be filed against certain of the Janus funds, Janus Capital and related parties in the future. Janus Capital does not currently believe that these pending actions will materially affect its ability to continue providing services it has agreed to provide to the Funds.

On March 16, 2005, Bay Isle received a document request in connection with the SEC's informal inquiry into issues raised by the SEC staff in a deficiency letter resulting from a routine examination of Bay Isle in March 2004. Bay Isle is in the process of responding to such request. In addition, the SEC examination of Janus Capital commenced in September 2003 remains open.

Explanations of Charts, Tables and
Financial Statements
(unaudited)

1. PERFORMANCE OVERVIEWS

Average annual total returns are quoted for the Fund. Average annual total return is calculated by taking the growth or decline in value of an investment over a period of time, including reinvestment of any dividends, distributions and capital gains, 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.

2. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

Following the performance overview section is the Fund Schedule of Investments. This schedule reports the industry concentrations and types of securities held in the Fund on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are usually listed by type (commercial paper, demand notes, U.S. Government notes, etc.). Holdings are subject to change without notice.

The value of each security is quoted as of the last day of the reporting period. Short-term investments maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

3. STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

This statement is often referred to as the "balance sheet." It lists the assets and liabilities of the Fund on the last day of the reporting period.

The Fund's assets are calculated by adding the value of the securities owned, the receivable for securities sold but not yet settled, the receivable for dividends declared but not yet received on stocks owned and the receivable for Fund shares sold to investors but not yet settled. The Fund's liabilities include payables for securities purchased but not yet settled, Fund shares redeemed but not yet paid and expenses owed but not yet paid.

The section entitled "Net Assets Consist of" breaks down the components of the Fund's net assets. Because the Fund must distribute substantially all earnings, you will notice that a significant portion of net assets is shareholder capital.

The last section of this statement reports the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the Fund's net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding.

4. STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

This statement details the Fund's income, expenses, gains and losses on securities and currency transactions, and appreciation or depreciation of current Fund holdings.

The first section in this statement, entitled "Investment Income," reports the 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 advisor, transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, and printing and postage for mailing statements, financial reports and prospectuses. Expense offsets, if any, are also shown.

The last section lists the increase or decrease in the value of securities held in the Fund. The Fund realizes a gain (or loss) when it sells its position in a particular security.

5. STATEMENTS OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

This statement reports the increase or decrease in the Fund's net assets during the reporting period. Changes in the Fund's net assets are attributable to investment operations, dividends, distributions and capital share transactions. This is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the Fund's net asset size to change during the period.

The first section summarizes the information from the Statement of Operations regarding changes in net assets due to the Fund's investment performance. The Fund's net assets may also change as a result of dividend and capital gains distributions to investors. If investors receive their dividends in cash, money is taken out of the Fund to pay the distribution. If investors reinvest their dividends, the Fund's net assets will not be affected. If you compare the Fund's "Net Decrease from Dividends and Distributions" to the "Reinvested dividends and distributions," you'll notice that dividend distributions had little effect on the Fund's net assets. This is because the majority of Janus investors reinvest their distributions.

The reinvestment of dividends is included under "Capital Share Transactions." "Capital Shares" refers to the money investors contribute to the Fund through purchases or withdrawals via redemptions. The Fund's net assets will increase and decrease in value as investors purchase and redeem shares from the Fund.

6. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

This schedule provides a per-share breakdown of the components that affect the NAV for current and past reporting periods. Not only does this table provide you with total return, it also reports total distributions, asset size and expense ratios.

The first line in the table reflects the NAV per share at the beginning of the reporting period. The next line reports the net investment income per share, which comprises interest income earned on securities held by the Fund. Following is the total of gains/(losses). Dividends and distributions are then subtracted to arrive at the NAV per share at the end of the period. The next line reflects the average annual total return reported the last day of the period.

Also included are the expense ratios, or the percentage of net assets that were used to cover operating expenses during the period.

The ratio of net investment income 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 a Fund's yield. The net investment income ratio is not a true measure of a Fund's yield because it doesn't take into account the dividends distributed to the Fund's investors.

Janus International Cash Reserves Fund April 30, 2005 17



Janus provides access to a wide range of investment disciplines.

Growth

Janus growth funds focus on companies believed to be the leaders in their respective industries, with solid management teams, expanding market share, margins and efficiencies.

Core

Janus core funds seek investments in more stable and predictable companies. These funds look for a strategic combination of steady growth and for certain funds, some degree of income.

Risk-Managed

Janus risk-managed funds seek to outperform their respective indices while maintaining a risk profile equal to or lower than the index itself. Managed by INTECH, these funds use a mathematical process in an attempt to build a more "efficient" portfolio than the index.

Value

Janus value funds invest in companies they believe are poised for a turnaround or are trading at a significant discount to fair value. The goal is to gain unique insight into a company's true value and identify and evaluate potential catalysts that may unlock shareholder value.

International & Global

Janus international and global 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.

Bond & Money Market

Janus bond funds attempt to provide less risk relative to equities while seeking to deliver a competitive total return through high current income and appreciation.
