Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock 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 39% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock The Fund pursues its investment objective by normally investing primarily in a portfolio of 30-40 common stocks selected for their growth potential. The Fund may invest in companies of any size, but will invest primarily in larger, well-established companies. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities. The Fund is classified as nondiversified, which allows it to hold larger positions in securities compared to a fund that is classified as diversified. As of September 30, 2023, the Fund held stocks of 38 companies. Of these holdings, 30 comprised approximately 93.39% of the Fund’s holdings.Portfolio management applies a “bottom up” approach that focuses on fundamental research and considers, among other factors, a company’s sustainable competitive advantages, long-term growth potential, and shareholder value. The Fund will generally consider selling a security when, in portfolio management’s opinion, there is a deterioration in a company’s financials, the investment thesis for owning the position has changed, or if the security exceeds its targeted value.The Fund may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions 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.

Class A C S I N R T Shares | Janus Henderson Forty Fund | Risk Nondiversified Status [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Nondiversification Risk. The Fund is classified as nondiversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. This gives the Fund’s portfolio management more flexibility to hold larger positions in securities. As a result, an increase or decrease in the value of a single security held by the Fund may have a greater impact on the Fund’s net asset value and total return.
Class A C S I N R T Shares | Janus Henderson Forty Fund | Risk Lose Money [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock The biggest risk is that the Fund’s returns will vary, and you could lose money.
Class A C S I N R T Shares | Janus Henderson Forty Fund | Risk Not Insured Depository Institution [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock 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.
Class A C S I N R T Shares | Janus Henderson Forty Fund | Market Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Market Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may decrease due to short-term market movements and over more prolonged market downturns. As a result, the Fund’s net asset value may fluctuate and it may be more difficult to value or sell the Fund’s holdings. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, economic sector, or the market as a whole. Market risk may be magnified if certain social, political, economic, and other conditions and events (such as terrorism, conflicts, including related sanctions, social unrest, natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics, including COVID-19) adversely interrupt the global economy and financial markets. 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.
Class A C S I N R T Shares | Janus Henderson Forty Fund | Portfolio Management Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Portfolio Management Risk. The Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio and is therefore subject to the risk that the investment strategies and research process employed for the Fund may fail to produce the intended results. Accordingly,the Fund may underperform its benchmark index or other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.
Class A C S I N R T Shares | Janus Henderson Forty Fund | Growth Securities Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Growth Securities Risk. Securities of companies perceived to be “growth” companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. If portfolio management’s perception of a company’s growth potential is not realized, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, reducing the Fund’s returns. In addition, because different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, “growth” stocks may perform differently from other types of securities and the market as a whole.
Class A C S I N R T Shares | Janus Henderson Forty Fund | Issuer Concentration Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Issuer Concentration Risk. The Fund’s portfolio may be comprised of a relatively small number of issuers in comparison to other funds. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater risks than a fund that invests in a greater number of issuers. A change in the value of any single investment held by the Fund may affect the overall value of the Fund more than it would affect a fund that holds more investments. In particular, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held by the Fund and may be susceptible to greater losses because of these developments. The Fund’s policy of concentrating its portfolio in a smaller number of holdings could result in more volatility in the Fund’s performance and share price.
Class A C S I N R T Shares | Janus Henderson Forty Fund | Industry and Sector Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Industry and Sector Risk. Although the Fund does not concentrate its investments in specific industries, it may have a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting similar business or businesses within the same economic sector. Companies in the same industry or economic sector may be similarly affected by economic or market events, making the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments than funds that invest more broadly. As the Fund’s portfolio becomes more concentrated, the Fund is less able to spread risk and potentially reduce the risk of loss and volatility. In addition, the Fund may be overweight or underweight in certain industries or sectors relative to its benchmark index, which may cause the Fund’s performance to be more or less sensitive to developments affecting those sectors.
Class A C S I N R T Shares | Janus Henderson Forty Fund | Mid-Sized Companies Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Mid-Sized Companies Risk. Investments in securities issued by mid-sized companies may involve greater risks than are customarily associated with larger, more established companies. For example, mid-sized companies may suffer more significant losses as a result of their narrow product lines, limited operating history, greater exposure to competitive threats, limited financial resources, limited trading markets, and the potential lack of management depth. Securities issued by mid-sized companies tend to be more volatile than securities issued by larger or more established companies and may underperform as compared to the securities of larger or more established companies. These holdings are also subject to wider price fluctuations and tend to be less liquid than stocks of larger or more established companies, which could have a significant adverse effect on the Fund’s returns, especially as market conditions change.
Class A C S I N R T Shares | Janus Henderson Forty Fund | Foreign Exposure Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Foreign Exposure Risk. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market. As a result, the Fund’s returns and net asset value may be affected 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.
Class A C S I N R T Shares | Janus Henderson Forty Fund | Securities Lending Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Securities Lending Risk. 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.
