[1] Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse Fund expenses to the extent that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (excluding administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement, brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.95% until at least November 1, 2017. The contractual waiver may be terminated or modified prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees.
EXAMPLE:
The following Example is based on expenses without waivers.  The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated, reinvest all dividends and distributions, and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of each period. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses without waivers remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover:
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 74% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund invests primarily in common stocks from the universe of the MSCI EAFE® (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index, utilizing INTECH’s mathematical investment process, applying a managed volatility approach. The MSCI EAFE® Index is an MSCI index that is designed to measure the performance of the developed markets of Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. The Fund may also invest in foreign equity and debt securities. The Fund seeks to produce returns in excess of the MSCI EAFE® Index (the Fund’s benchmark index), but with lower absolute volatility than the benchmark index. The Fund seeks to generate such excess returns with absolute volatility that can range from approximately 0% to 45% lower than the MSCI EAFE® Index. In this context, absolute volatility refers to the variation in the returns of the Fund and the benchmark index as measured by standard deviation. This range is expected to be closer to 0% in less volatile markets and will increase as market conditions become more volatile. The Fund transitioned to a managed volatility strategy in December 2014. Since January 2015, the Fund reduced volatility on average by approximately 25% relative to its named benchmark index (based on the standard deviation of monthly returns). As noted, the volatility reduction is expected to vary over time based on market conditions and other factors.

The Fund pursues its investment objective by applying a mathematical investment process to construct an investment portfolio from the universe of stocks within the named benchmark index. In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund will have exposure to investments that are tied economically to a number of countries throughout the world. The goal of this process is to combine stocks that individually have higher relative volatility, lower absolute volatility, and lower correlations with each other in an effort to reduce the Fund’s absolute volatility, while still generating returns that exceed the named benchmark index over a full market cycle (a time period representing a significant market decline and recovery). Although the Fund may underperform its named benchmark index in sharply rising markets, this strategy seeks to participate in normal rising markets and lessen losses in down markets. In applying this strategy, INTECH establishes target proportions of its holdings from stocks within the named benchmark index using an optimization process designed to determine the most effective weightings of each stock in the Fund. Once INTECH determines such proportions and the Fund’s investments are selected, the Fund is periodically rebalanced to the set target proportions and re-optimized. The rebalancing techniques used by INTECH may result in a higher portfolio turnover rate compared to a “buy and hold” fund strategy.

The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, in an amount equal to up to one-third of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
The biggest risk is that the Fund’s returns will vary, and you could lose money. The Fund is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.

Investment Process Risk.  The focus on managed volatility may keep the Fund from achieving excess returns over the named benchmark index. In this regard, INTECH’s managed volatility strategy may underperform the Fund’s named benchmark index during certain periods of up markets, and in particular, most likely will underperform the benchmark index in sharply rising markets, and may not achieve the desired level of protection in down markets. As INTECH’s mathematical investment process has evolved, it has experienced periods of both underperformance and outperformance relative to an identified benchmark index. Even when the proprietary mathematical investment process is working appropriately, INTECH expects that there will be periods of underperformance relative to the benchmark index. On an occasional basis, INTECH makes changes to its mathematical investment process that do not require shareholder notice. These changes may result in changes to the portfolio, might not provide the intended results, and may adversely impact the Fund’s performance.

Foreign Exposure Risk.  The Fund normally has significant exposure to foreign markets as a result of its investments in foreign securities, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. In some foreign markets, there may not be protection against failure by other parties to complete transactions. It may not be possible for the Fund to repatriate capital, dividends, interest, and other income from a particular country or governmental entity. In addition, a market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Fund has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Fund’s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio.

Market Risk.  The value of the Fund’s portfolio may decrease if the value of an individual company or security, or multiple companies or securities, in the portfolio decreases. Further, regardless of how well individual companies or securities perform, the value of the Fund’s portfolio could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, economic sector, or the market as a whole.

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

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

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

An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The following information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund’s performance has varied over time. Class D Shares of the Fund commenced operations on April 24, 2015. The performance shown for Class D Shares for the period July 6, 2009 to April 24, 2015, reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class I Shares, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. Performance shown for periods prior to July 6, 2009, reflects the historical performance of Janus Adviser INTECH Risk-Managed International Fund’s (the “JAD predecessor fund”) Class I Shares prior to the reorganization of Class I Shares of the JAD predecessor fund into Class I Shares of the Fund, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class D Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class D Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to April 24, 2015, the performance shown may have been different.

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

The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available at janus.com/allfunds or by calling 1-800-525-3713.

The Fund’s primary benchmark index is the MSCI EAFE® Index. The index is described below.
  • The MSCI EAFE® (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index designed to measure developed market equity performance. The MSCI EAFE® Index is composed of companies representative of the market structure of developed market countries. The index includes reinvestment of dividends, net of foreign withholding taxes.
After-tax returns are calculated using distributions for the Fund’s Class D Shares for the periods following April 24, 2015; for the Fund’s Class I Shares for the period following July 6, 2009; and for the JAD predecessor fund’s Class I Shares for periods prior to July 6, 2009. If Class D Shares of the Fund had been available during these earlier periods, distributions may have been different and thus, after-tax returns may have been different from those shown. After-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on your individual tax situation and may differ from those shown in the preceding table. The after-tax return information shown above does not apply to Fund shares held through a tax-deferred account, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA.
