Currently Effective Prospectuses

On June 18, 2020, the Board of Trustees of the Funds approved (1) the MSCI World Value IndexSM as the new secondary benchmark for Janus Henderson Global Value Fund, replacing the MSCI All Country World IndexSM; and (2) the MSCI EAFE® Value Index as the new secondary benchmark for Janus Henderson International Value Fund, replacing the MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. IndexSM. Janus Capital Management LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser, believes that the indices are more appropriate secondary benchmarks in light of each Fund’s value-oriented investment strategy, and each Fund’s limited investments in emerging market equities.

The MSCI World Value Index reflects the performance of large- and mid-cap equity securities exhibiting value style characteristics across global developed markets. The index includes reinvestment of dividends, net of foreign withholding taxes.

The MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Value Index reflects the performance of large- and mid-cap equity securities exhibiting value style characteristics across global developed markets, excluding the United States and Canada. The index includes reinvestment of dividends, net of foreign withholding taxes.

The benchmark changes will be effective on or about June 30, 2020.

As a result of the above changes, effective on or about June 30, 2020, Janus Henderson Global Value Fund’s prospectuses are revised as follows:

 

1.
Under “Principal Investment Strategies” in the Fund Summary section of the Fund’s Prospectuses, the following paragraph replaces the first paragraph in its entirety:

The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in common stocks of companies of any size that are economically tied to countries throughout the world. The Fund normally invests in issuers from several different countries, which may include the United States. The Fund may, under unusual circumstances, invest in a single country. The Fund may also invest in U.S. and foreign equity securities. In addition, when the portfolio managers believe that market conditions are unfavorable for investing, or when they are otherwise unable to locate attractive investment opportunities, the Fund’s cash or similar investments may increase.

 

2.
Under “Principal Investment Risks” in the Fund Summary section of the Fund’s prospectus, Emerging Markets Risk is deleted in its entirety.
