FUND SNAPSHOT

The Janus Henderson Asia Equity Fund is an all-cap, high-conviction Asia Pacific ex Japan fund focused on companies with strong franchises, high return on equity and management with a proven track record of execution. We believe that high-quality companies, if bought at the right price, should produce outperformance relative to the market over a three- to five-year time horizon.

PERFORMANCE

The Janus Henderson Asia Equity Fund’s Class I Shares returned -13.99% over the six-month period ended March 31, 2020. The Fund’s primary benchmark, the MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan Index^SM, returned -8.76%, and its secondary benchmark, the MSCI All Country Asia Pacific ex Japan Index^SM, returned -12.36%.

INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT

The beginning of the period saw positive equity markets as the U.S. and China finally progressed toward a trade agreement, the lack of which had weighed on markets for most of the previous year. But sentiment changed by the end of January when concerns regarding a new coronavirus first emerged. Initially this resulted in a sell-off in China and Asian assets and then the sell-off spread, like the virus itself, to other markets globally as the sheer economic impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus became apparent.

On a more positive note, we have seen a coordinated global response from central banks and governments, which have cut interest rates and offered substantial fiscal support to counter the effects of the pandemic. A sharp reduction in the price of oil also weighed on markets in the second half of the period as supply increased despite the weaker demand environment.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Fund underperformed both its primary and secondary benchmarks over the six-month period, driven by asset allocation as well as stock selection. At a country level, our underweight to China contributed negatively as the China market outperformed, somewhat surprisingly, during the broader market weakness. While the China market suffered initially, the government measures to contain the virus were relatively effective, and with signs of business and life returning to normal toward the end of March, the feeling was that the impact to the economy would be temporary. We steadily have increased our allocation to China over the last year, although our allocation remains less than that of the benchmark. As a reminder, we favor the private-sector businesses in China, particularly in the Internet and consumer sectors, but remain underweight to the state-owned banking and energy sectors. We are more positive on China and continue to see new opportunities in China’s Class A-share market in particular. Our overweight to India, Indonesia and the Philippines detracted from relative performance during the last six months as all these markets underperformed the regional index over the period. By sector, our underweights to the more cyclical energy and materials sectors contributed to relative returns, while our overweight and stock selection in financials and stock selection in consumer staples detracted.

Our positions within the Chinese Internet sector proved very resilient over the period, as their businesses were much less impacted by the significant changes to daily routine during the pandemic. Other, more cyclical areas of the Chinese stock market also performed better, with sectors where we have exposure, such as cement and construction machinery, expected to benefit from government stimulus later in the year. Conversely, our allocation to private sector financials in India was detrimental during the period, due to industry-wide concerns on asset quality and a government-led rescue of a fast-growing private sector bank to which we had no exposure. We maintained our positions in this sector in part given their much longer history than the troubled bank. India generally sold off more than the regional index on concerns that the COVID-19 impact could be more extensive there. However, as of period end, the government took significant measures to try to contain the spread of the virus. The story in Indonesia and the Philippines was similar: The stock markets were hit harder in the sell-off and our positions suffered.

The main change to the Fund over the period was the increase, discussed above, to the China allocation, as we continue to see the market as more defensive in the short

term given the country is early in its recovery from the pandemic. Other changes included reducing our financials exposure due to the more challenged margin outlook following interest rate cuts and allocating more capital to the technology sector, which we believe could recover faster later in the year.

OUTLOOK

We are in regular contact with the management teams of the companies in which we invest to better understand the business impact of COVID-19, although in some cases there is still uncertainty ahead. We have confidence that markets will rebound once there is more certainty on the peak number of virus cases, which we believe may impact some markets much more than others. We also believe that long-term business prospects and the opportunities for growth for Asian companies remain compelling. It is worth emphasizing as well that we anticipate that this pandemic will pose a temporary impact to both corporate earnings and economic growth and that we will see a recovery in equity prices once the situation stabilizes.

Thank you for your continued investment in the Janus Henderson Asia Equity Fund.

	Relative contribution reflects how the portolio's holdings impacted return relative to the benchmark. Cash and securities not held in the portfolio are not shown. For equity portfolios, relative contribution compares the performance of a security in the portfolio to the benchmark's total return, factoring in the difference in weight of that security in the benchmark. Returns are calculated using daily returns and previous day ending weights rolled up by ticker, excluding fixed income securities, gross of advisory fees, may exclude certain derivatives and will differ from actual performance. Performance attribution reflects returns gross of advisory fees and may differ from actual returns as they are based on end of day holdings. Attribution is calculated by geometrically linking daily returns for the portfolio and index.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (applicable to Class A Shares only); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; 12b-1 distribution and shareholder servicing fees; transfer agent fees and expenses payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The example is based upon an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six-months indicated, unless noted otherwise in the table and footnotes below.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based upon the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Additionally, for an analysis of the fees associated with an investment in any share class or other similar funds, please visit www.finra.org/fundanalyzer.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. These fees are fully described in the Fund’s prospectuses. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

†	Expenses Paid During Period are equal to the Net Annualized Expense Ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses in the examples include the effect of applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any. Had such waivers and/or reimbursements not been in effect, your expenses would have been higher.

Janus Henderson Asia Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of Janus Investment Fund (the “Trust”), which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company, and therefore has applied the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946. The Trust offers 46 funds, each of which offers multiple share classes, with differing investment objectives and policies. The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund is classified as diversified, as defined in the 1940 Act.

The Fund offers multiple classes of shares in order to meet the needs of various types of investors. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain financial intermediaries may not offer all classes of shares. Class D Shares are closed to certain new investors.

Class A Shares are offered through financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, traditional brokerage platforms, mutual fund wrap fee programs, bank trust platforms, and retirement platforms.

Class C Shares are offered through financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, traditional brokerage platforms, mutual fund wrap fee programs, and bank trust platforms.

Class C Shares are closed to investments by new employer-sponsored retirement plans and existing employer-sponsored retirement plans are no longer able to make additional purchases or exchanges into Class C Shares.

The Funds have adopted an auto-conversion policy pursuant to which Class C Shares that have been held for ten years will be automatically converted to Class A Shares without the imposition of any sales charge, fee or other charge. The conversion will generally occur no later than ten business days in the month following the month of the tenth anniversary of the date of purchase. Class C Shares purchased through the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions on Class C Shares will convert to Class A Shares at the same time as the Class C Shares with respect to which they were purchased. For Class C Shares held in omnibus accounts on intermediary platforms, the Fund will rely on these intermediaries to implement this conversion feature. Your financial intermediary may have separate policies and procedures as to when and how Class C Shares may be converted to Class A Shares. Please contact your financial intermediary for additional information.

Class D Shares are generally no longer being made available to new investors who do not already have a direct account with the Janus Henderson funds. Class D Shares are available only to investors who hold accounts directly with the Janus Henderson funds, to immediate family members or members of the same household of an eligible individual investor, and to existing beneficial owners of sole proprietorships or partnerships that hold accounts directly with the Janus Henderson funds.

Class I Shares are available through certain financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, mutual fund wrap fee programs, managed account programs, asset allocation programs, bank trust platforms, as well as certain retirement platforms. Class I Shares are also available to certain direct institutional investors including, but not limited to, corporations, certain retirement plans, public plans, and foundations/endowments, who established Class I Share accounts before August 4, 2017.

Class N Shares are generally available only to financial intermediaries purchasing on behalf of: 1) certain adviser-assisted, employer-sponsored retirement plans, including 401(k) plans, 457 plans, 403(b) plans, Taft-Hartley multi-employer plans, profit-sharing and money purchase pension plans, defined benefit plans and certain welfare benefit plans, such as health savings accounts, and nonqualified deferred compensation plans; and 2) retail investors purchasing in qualified or nonqualified accounts, whose accounts are held through an omnibus account at their financial intermediary, and where the financial intermediary requires no payment or reimbursement from the Fund, Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus Capital”), or its affiliates. Class N Shares are also available to Janus Henderson proprietary products and to certain direct institutional investors approved by Janus Distributors LLC dba Janus Henderson Distributors (“Janus Henderson Distributors”) including, but not limited to, corporations, certain retirement plans, public plans, and foundations and endowments, subject to minimum investment requirements.

programs. In addition, Class S Shares may be available through certain financial intermediaries who have an agreement with Janus Capital or its affiliates to offer Class S Shares on their supermarket platforms.

Class T Shares are available through certain financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, mutual fund wrap fee programs, managed account programs, asset allocation programs, bank trust platforms, as well as certain retirement platforms. In addition, Class T Shares may be available through certain financial intermediaries who have an agreement with Janus Capital or its affiliates to offer Class T Shares on their supermarket platforms.

The following accounting policies have been followed by the Fund and are in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP").

Investment Valuation

Securities held by the Fund are valued in accordance with policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Trustees (the “Valuation Procedures”). Equity securities traded on a domestic securities exchange are generally valued at the closing prices on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If such price is lacking for the trading period immediately preceding the time of determination, such securities are valued at their current bid price. Equity securities that are traded on a foreign exchange are generally valued at the closing prices on such markets. In the event that there is no current trading volume on a particular security in such foreign exchange, the bid price from the primary exchange is generally used to value the security. Securities that are traded on the over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets are generally valued at their closing or latest bid prices as available. Foreign securities and currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate in effect at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Fund will determine the market value of individual securities held by it by using prices provided by one or more approved professional pricing services or, as needed, by obtaining market quotations from independent broker-dealers. Most debt securities are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service that is intended to reflect market value. The evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service is an evaluation that may consider factors such as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings. Certain short-term securities maturing within 60 days or less may be evaluated and valued on an amortized cost basis provided that the amortized cost determined approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations or evaluated prices are not readily available or deemed unreliable are valued at fair value determined in good faith under the Valuation Procedures. Circumstances in which fair value pricing may be utilized include, but are not limited to: (i) a significant event that may affect the securities of a single issuer, such as a merger, bankruptcy, or significant issuer-specific development; (ii) an event that may affect an entire market, such as a natural disaster or significant governmental action; (iii) a nonsignificant event such as a market closing early or not opening, or a security trading halt; and (iv) pricing of a nonvalued security and a restricted or nonpublic security. Special valuation considerations may apply with respect to “odd-lot” fixed-income transactions which, due to their small size, may receive evaluated prices by pricing services which reflect a large block trade and not what actually could be obtained for the odd-lot position. The Fund uses systematic fair valuation models provided by independent third parties to value international equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the close of the NYSE.

Valuation Inputs Summary

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. This standard emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets the Fund has the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

approved by the Fund’s Trustees; certain short-term debt securities with maturities of 60 days or less that are fair valued at amortized cost; and equity securities of foreign issuers whose fair value is determined by using systematic fair valuation models provided by independent third parties in order to adjust for stale pricing which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the close of the NYSE. Other securities that may be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy include, but are not limited to, preferred stocks, bank loans, swaps, investments in unregistered investment companies, options, and forward contracts.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.

There have been no significant changes in valuation techniques used in valuing any such positions held by the Fund since the beginning of the fiscal year.

The inputs or methodology used for fair valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The summary of inputs used as of March 31, 2020 to fair value the Fund’s investments in securities and other financial instruments is included in the “Valuation Inputs Summary” in the Notes to Schedule of Investments and Other Information.

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 Fund is informed of the dividend, if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities may be subject to withholding taxes in foreign jurisdictions. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. The Fund classifies gains and losses on prepayments received as an adjustment to interest income. Debt securities may be placed in non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by stopping current accruals and writing off interest receivables when collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Income, as well as gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of total net assets.

Expenses

The Fund bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf. Each class of shares bears a portion of general expenses, which are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of total net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged against the operations of such class.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain provisions for indemnification of other parties against certain potential liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, and would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Foreign Currency Translations

The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held at the date of the financial statements. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and foreign currency translations arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities held at the date of the financial statements, resulting from changes in the exchange rates and changes in market prices of securities held.


Janus Investment Fund	21

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Currency gains and losses are also calculated on payables and receivables that are denominated in foreign currencies. The payables and receivables are generally related to foreign security transactions and income translations.

Foreign currency-denominated assets and forward currency contracts may involve more risks than domestic transactions, including currency risk, counterparty risk, political and economic risk, regulatory risk and equity risk. Risks may arise from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

Dividends and Distributions

The Fund generally declares and distributes dividends of net investment income and realized capital gains (if any) annually. The Fund may treat a portion of the amount paid to redeem shares as a distribution of investment company taxable income and realized capital gains that are reflected in the net asset value. This practice, commonly referred to as “equalization,” has no effect on the redeeming shareholder or a Fund’s total return, but may reduce the amounts that would otherwise be required to be paid as taxable dividends to the remaining shareholders. It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) could challenge the Funds’ equalization methodology or calculations, and any such challenge could result in additional tax, interest, or penalties to be paid by the Fund.

The Fund may make certain investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon funds available from operations. It is quite common for these dividends to exceed the REITs’ taxable earnings and profits, resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. If the Fund distributes such amounts, such distributions could constitute a return of capital to shareholders for federal income tax purposes.

Federal Income Taxes

The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income in accordance with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years, generally a three-year period, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

2. Other Investments and Strategies

Additional Investment Risk

In the aftermath of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, the financial sector experienced reduced liquidity in credit and other fixed-income markets, and an unusually high degree of volatility, both domestically and internationally. In response to the crisis, the United States and certain foreign governments, along with the U.S. Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks, took steps to support the financial markets. For example, the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010 provided for widespread regulation of financial institutions, consumer financial products and services, broker-dealers, over-the-counter derivatives, investment advisers, credit rating agencies, and mortgage lending, which expanded federal oversight in the financial sector, including the investment management industry. More recently, the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve, as well as certain foreign governments and central banks, are taking extraordinary actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by pushing interest rates to very low levels. The withdrawal of support, a failure of measures put in place in response to such economic downturns, or investor perception that such efforts were not sufficient could each negatively affect financial markets generally, and the value and liquidity of specific securities. In addition, policy and legislative changes in the United States and in other countries continue to impact many aspects of financial regulation.

Widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics, and natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and weather-related phenomena generally, have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Fund’s investments. Economies and financial markets throughout the world have become increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or country will adversely affect markets or issuers in other regions or countries, including the United States. These disruptions could prevent a Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and negatively impact a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective(s). Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value of a Fund. In addition, these disruptions could also impair the information technology and other operational systems upon which the Fund’s service providers, including Janus

Capital or the subadviser (as applicable), rely, and could otherwise disrupt the ability of employees of the Fund’s service providers to perform essential tasks on behalf of the Fund.

A number of countries in the European Union (“EU”) have experienced, and may continue to experience, severe economic and financial difficulties. In particular, many EU nations are susceptible to economic risks associated with high levels of debt. Many non-governmental issuers, and even certain governments, have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts. Many other issuers have faced difficulties obtaining credit or refinancing existing obligations. Financial institutions have in many cases required government or central bank support, have needed to raise capital, and/or have been impaired in their ability to extend credit. As a result, financial markets in the EU experienced extreme volatility and declines in asset values and liquidity. Responses to these financial problems by European governments, central banks, and others, including austerity measures and reforms, may not work, may result in social unrest, and may limit future growth and economic recovery or have other unintended consequences. The risk of investing in securities in the European markets may also be heightened due to the referendum in which the United Kingdom voted to exit the EU (commonly known as “Brexit”). The United Kingdom formally left the EU on January 31, 2020 and entered into an eleven-month transition period, during which the United Kingdom will remain subject to EU laws and regulations. There is considerable uncertainty relating to the potential consequences of the United Kingdom’s exit and how negotiations for new trade agreements will be conducted or concluded.

Certain areas of the world have historically been prone to and economically sensitive to environmental events such as, but not limited to, hurricanes, earthquakes, typhoons, flooding, tidal waves, tsunamis, erupting volcanoes, wildfires or droughts, tornadoes, mudslides, or other weather-related phenomena. Such disasters, and the resulting physical or economic damage, could have a severe and negative impact on the Fund’s investment portfolio and, in the longer term, could impair the ability of issuers in which the Fund invests to conduct their businesses as they would under normal conditions. Adverse weather conditions may also have a particularly significant negative effect on issuers in the agricultural sector and on insurance and reinsurance companies that insure and reinsure against the impact of natural disasters.

Emerging Market Investing

Within the parameters of its specific investment policies, the Fund may invest in securities of issuers or companies from or with exposure to one or more “developing countries” or “emerging market countries.” To the extent that the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in one or more of these countries, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by events and economic conditions in such countries. The risks of foreign investing are heightened when investing in emerging markets, which may result in the price of investments in emerging markets experiencing sudden and sharp price swings. In many developing markets, there is less government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices (including the potential lack of strict finance and accounting controls and standards), stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies, making these investments potentially more volatile in price and less liquid than investments in developed securities markets, resulting in greater risk to investors. There is a risk in developing countries that a future economic or political crisis could lead to price controls, forced mergers of companies, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, imposition or enforcement of foreign ownership limits, seizure, nationalization, sanctions or imposition of restrictions by various governmental entities on investment and trading, or creation of government monopolies, any of which may have a detrimental effect on the Fund’s investments. In addition, the Fund’s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, changes in the value of a country’s currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Fund’s investments. To the extent that the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of issuers in or companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region, which could have a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. Additionally, foreign and emerging market risks, including, but not limited to, price controls, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, imposition or enforcement of foreign ownership limits, nationalization, and restrictions on repatriation of assets may be heightened to the extent the Fund invests in Chinese local market securities.

Real Estate Investing

The Fund may invest in equity and debt securities of real estate-related companies. Such companies may include those in the real estate industry or real estate-related industries. These securities may include common stocks, corporate bonds, preferred stocks, and other equity securities, including, but not limited to, mortgage-backed securities, real estate-backed securities, securities of REITs and similar REIT-like entities. A REIT is a trust that invests in real estate-

related projects, such as properties, mortgage loans, and construction loans. REITs are generally categorized as equity, mortgage, or hybrid REITs. A REIT may be listed on an exchange or traded OTC.

3. Investment Advisory Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund pays Janus Capital an investment advisory fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly. The Fund’s "base" fee rate prior to any performance adjustment (expressed as an annual rate) is 0.92%.

The investment advisory fee rate is determined by calculating a base fee and applying a performance adjustment. The base fee rate is the same as the contractual investment advisory fee rate. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the base fee depending on how well the Fund has performed relative to its benchmark index. The Fund's benchmark index used in the calculation is the MSCI All Country Asia ex-Japan Index.

The calculation of the performance adjustment applies as follows:

Investment Advisory Fee = Base Fee Rate +/- Performance Adjustment

The investment advisory fee rate paid to Janus Capital by the Fund consists of two components: (1) a base fee calculated by applying the contractual fixed rate of the advisory fee to the Fund’s average daily net assets during the previous month (“Base Fee Rate”), plus or minus (2) a performance-fee adjustment (“Performance Adjustment”) calculated by applying a variable rate of up to 0.15% (positive or negative) to the Fund’s average daily net assets based on the Fund’s relative performance compared to the cumulative investment record of its benchmark index over a 36-month performance measurement period or shorter time period, as applicable. The investment performance of the Fund’s Class A Shares (waiving the upfront sales load) for the performance measurement period is used to calculate the Performance Adjustment. No Performance Adjustment is applied unless the difference between the Fund’s investment performance and the cumulative investment record of the Fund’s benchmark index is 0.50% or greater (positive or negative) during the applicable performance measurement period.

The Fund’s prospectuses and statement(s) of additional information contain additional information about performance-based fees. The amount shown as advisory fees on the Statement of Operations reflects the Base Fee Rate plus/minus any Performance Adjustment. For the period ended March 31, 2020, the performance adjusted investment advisory fee rate before any waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses is 0.95%.

Janus Capital has entered into a personnel-sharing arrangement with its foreign (non-U.S.) affiliates, Henderson Global Investors Limited, Henderson Global Investors (Japan) Ltd., and Henderson Global Investors (Singapore) Ltd. (collectively, “HGIL”), pursuant to which HGIL and certain employees of HGIL serve as “associated persons” of Janus Capital. In this capacity, such employees of HGIL are subject to the oversight and supervision of Janus Capital and may provide portfolio management, research, and related services to the Fund on behalf of Janus Capital.

Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund or reimburse expenses in an amount equal to the amount, if any, that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses, including the investment advisory fee, but excluding any performance adjustments to management fees (if applicable), the fees payable pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 plan, shareholder servicing fees, such as transfer agency fees (including out-of-pocket costs), administrative services fees and any networking/omnibus/administrative fees payable by any share class, brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, exceed the annual rate of 1.11% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Janus Capital has agreed to continue the waiver for at least a one-year period commencing January 28, 2020. If applicable, amounts waived and/or reimbursed to the Fund by Janus Capital are disclosed as “Excess Expense Reimbursement and Waivers” on the Statement of Operations.

Janus Services LLC (“Janus Services”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, is the Fund’s transfer agent. In addition, Janus Services provides or arranges for the provision of certain other administrative services including, but not limited to, recordkeeping, accounting, order processing, and other shareholder services for the Fund. Janus Services is not compensated for its services related to the shares, except for out-of-pocket costs. These amounts are disclosed as “Other transfer agent fees and expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

with intermediaries requiring such fees on behalf of the Fund. Janus Capital and its affiliates benefit from an increase in assets that may result from such relationships. The Funds’ Trustees have set limits on fees that the Funds may incur with respect to administrative fees paid for omnibus or networked accounts. Such limits are subject to change by the Trustees in the future. These amounts are disclosed as “Transfer agent networking and omnibus fees” on the Statement of Operations.

Effective July 1, 2019, the Board of Trustees of Janus Investment Fund approved a new administrative fee rate for Class D Shares detailed in the table below.


Average Daily Net Assets of Class D Shares of the Janus Henderson funds	Administrative Services Fee
Under $40 billion	0.12%
$40 billion – $49.9 billion	0.10%
Over $49.9 billion	0.08%

The Fund’s actual Class D administrative fee rate was 0.12% for the reporting period.

Prior to July 1, 2019, the Fund’s Class D Shares paid an administrative services fee at an annual rate of 0.12% of the average daily net assets of Class D Shares for shareholder services provided by Janus Services. Janus Services provides or arranges for the provision of shareholder services including, but not limited to, recordkeeping, accounting, answering inquiries regarding accounts, transaction processing, transaction confirmations, and the mailing of prospectuses and shareholder reports. These amounts are disclosed as “Transfer agent administrative fees and expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Janus Services receives an administrative services fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class S Shares and Class T Shares for providing or procuring administrative services to investors in Class S Shares and Class T Shares of the Fund. Janus Services expects to use all or a significant portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial intermediaries for providing these services. Janus Services or its affiliates may also pay fees for services provided by intermediaries to the extent the fees charged by intermediaries exceed the 0.25% of net assets charged to Class S Shares and Class T Shares of the Fund. Janus Services may keep certain amounts retained for reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs incurred for servicing clients of Class S Shares and Class T Shares. These amounts are disclosed as “Transfer agent administrative fees and expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Services provided by these financial intermediaries may include, but are not limited to, recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing, providing order confirmations, periodic statements, forwarding prospectuses, shareholder reports, and other materials to existing customers, answering inquiries regarding accounts, and other administrative services. Order processing includes the submission of transactions through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) or similar systems, or those processed on a manual basis with Janus Capital. For all share classes, Janus Services also seeks reimbursement for costs it incurs as transfer agent and for providing servicing.

Janus Services is compensated for its services related to the Fund’s Class D Shares. These amounts are disclosed as “Other transfer agent fees and expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Under a distribution and shareholder servicing plan (the “Plan”) adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays the Trust’s distributor, Janus Henderson Distributors, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, a fee for the sale and distribution and/or shareholder servicing of the Shares at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Class A Shares’ average daily net assets, of up to 1.00% of the Class C Shares’ average daily net assets, and of up to 0.25% of the Class S Shares’ average daily net assets. Under the terms of the Plan, the Trust is authorized to make payments to Janus Henderson Distributors for remittance to retirement plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial intermediaries, as compensation for distribution and/or shareholder services performed by such entities for their customers who are investors in the Fund. These amounts are disclosed as “12b-1 Distribution and shareholder servicing fees” on the Statement of Operations. Payments under the Plan are not tied exclusively to actual 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses, and the payments may exceed 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses actually incurred. If any of the Fund’s actual 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses incurred during a calendar year are less than the payments made during a calendar year, the Fund will be refunded the difference. Refunds, if any, are included in “12b-1 Distribution and shareholder servicing fees” in the Statement of Operations.

Janus Capital serves as administrator to the Fund pursuant to an administration agreement between Janus Capital and the Trust. Under the administration agreement, Janus Capital is obligated to provide or arrange for the provision of certain administration, compliance, and accounting services to the Fund, including providing office space for the Fund, and is reimbursed by the Fund for certain of its costs in providing these services (to the extent Janus Capital seeks reimbursement and such costs are not otherwise waived). In addition, employees of Janus Capital and/or its affiliates may serve as officers of the Trust. The Fund pays for some or all of the salaries, fees, and expenses of Janus Capital employees and Fund officers, with respect to certain specified administration functions they perform on behalf of the Fund. The Fund pays these costs based on out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Janus Capital, and these costs are separate and apart from advisory fees and other expenses paid in connection with the investment advisory services Janus Capital (or any subadvisor, as applicable) provides to the Fund. These amounts are disclosed as “Affiliated fund administration fees” on the Statement of Operations. In addition, some expenses related to compensation payable to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer and certain compliance staff, all of whom are employees of Janus Capital and/or its affiliates, are shared with the Fund. Total compensation of $232,673 was paid to the Chief Compliance Officer and certain compliance staff by the Trust during the period ended March 31, 2020. The Fund's portion is reported as part of “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Plan”) for independent Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. All deferred fees are credited to an account established in the name of the Trustees. The amounts credited to the account then increase or decrease, as the case may be, in accordance with the performance of one or more of the Janus Henderson funds that are selected by the Trustees. The account balance continues to fluctuate in accordance with the performance of the selected fund or funds until final payment of all amounts are credited to the account. The fluctuation of the account balance is recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and is included as of March 31, 2020 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the asset, “Non-interested Trustees’ deferred compensation,” and liability, “Non-interested Trustees’ deferred compensation fees.” Additionally, the recorded unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is included in “Total distributable earnings (loss)” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferred compensation expenses for the period ended March 31, 2020 are included in “Non-interested Trustees’ fees and expenses” on the Statement of Operations. Trustees are allowed to change their designation of mutual funds from time to time. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the Deferred Plan. Deferred fees of $225,450 were paid by the Trust to the Trustees under the Deferred Plan during the period ended March 31, 2020.

Class A Shares include a 5.75% upfront sales charge of the offering price of the Fund. The sales charge is allocated between Janus Henderson Distributors and financial intermediaries. During the period ended March 31, 2020, Janus Henderson Distributors retained upfront sales charges of $1,155.

A contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% will be deducted with respect to Class A Shares purchased without a sales load and redeemed within 12 months of purchase, unless waived. Any applicable CDSC will be 1.00% of the lesser of the original purchase price or the value of the redemption of the Class A Shares redeemed. There were no CDSCs paid by redeeming shareholders of Class A Shares to Janus Henderson Distributors during the period ended March 31, 2020.

A CDSC of 1.00% will be deducted with respect to Class C Shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase, unless waived. Any applicable CDSC will be 1.00% of the lesser of the original purchase price or the value of the redemption of the Class C Shares redeemed. During the period ended March 31, 2020, redeeming shareholders of Class C Shares paid CDSCs of $61.

In addition, other shareholders, including other funds, individuals, accounts, as well as the Fund’s portfolio manager(s) and/or investment personnel, may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) a significant percentage of the Fund’s Shares and can be considered to “control” the Fund when that ownership exceeds 25% of the Fund’s assets (and which may differ from control as determined in accordance with US GAAP).

4. Federal Income Tax

Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from US GAAP. 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 Fund has elected to treat gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts as capital gains and losses, if applicable. Other foreign currency gains and losses on debt instruments are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Accumulated capital losses noted below represent net capital loss carryovers, as of September 30, 2019, that may be available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future taxable gains distributions. The following table shows these capital loss carryovers.



Capital Loss Carryover Schedule
For the year ended September 30, 2019
	No Expiration
	Short-Term	Long-Term	Accumulated Capital Losses
	$ (774,404)	$ (261,901)	$ (1,036,305)

The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investment securities for federal income tax purposes as of March 31, 2020 are noted below. The primary differences between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of investments are wash sale loss deferrals.

effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity is permitted, and Management has decided, to early adopt the removed and modified disclosures in these financial statements.

8. Other Matters

An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and has now been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The impact of COVID-19 has been, and may continue to be, highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Fund's investments. This may impact liquidity in the marketplace, which in turn may affect the Fund's ability to meet redemption requests. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects cannot be determined with certainty, and could prevent a Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and negatively impact a Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.

9. Subsequent Event

Management has evaluated whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to March 31, 2020 and through the date of issuance of the Fund’s financial statements and determined that there were no material events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AGREEMENTS DURING THE PERIOD

The Trustees of Janus Aspen Series, each of whom serves as an “independent” Trustee (the “Trustees”), oversee the management of each Portfolio of Janus Aspen Series (each, a “VIT Portfolio,” and collectively, the “VIT Portfolios”), as well as each Fund of Janus Investment Fund (together with the VIT Portfolios, the “Janus Henderson Funds,” and each, a “Janus Henderson Fund”). As required by law, the Trustees determine annually whether to continue the investment advisory agreement for each Janus Henderson Fund and the subadvisory agreements for the Janus Henderson Funds that utilize subadvisers.

In connection with their most recent consideration of those agreements for each Janus Henderson Fund, the Trustees received and reviewed information provided by Janus Capital and the respective subadvisers in response to requests of the Trustees and their independent legal counsel. They also received and reviewed information and analysis provided by, and in response to requests of, their independent fee consultant. Throughout their consideration of the agreements, the Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel. The Trustees met with management to consider the agreements, and also met separately in executive session with their independent legal counsel and their independent fee consultant.

At a meeting held on December 5, 2019, based on the Trustees’ evaluation of the information provided by Janus Capital, the subadvisers, and the independent fee consultant, as well as other information, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between each Janus Henderson Fund and Janus Capital and each subadviser, as applicable, were fair and reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Janus Capital, its affiliates and the subadvisers, the fees charged for those services, and other matters that the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. At that meeting, the Trustees unanimously approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for each Janus Henderson Fund, and the subadvisory agreement for each subadvised Janus Henderson Fund, for the period from February 1, 2020 through February 1, 2021, subject to earlier termination as provided for in each agreement.

In considering the continuation of those agreements, the Trustees reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below, none of which by itself was considered dispositive. However, the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ determination to approve the continuation of the agreements are discussed separately below. Also included is a summary of the independent fee consultant’s conclusions and opinions that arose during, and were included as part of, the Trustees’ consideration of the agreements. “Management fees,” as used herein, reflect actual annual advisory fees and, for the purpose of peer comparisons any administration fees (excluding out of pocket costs), net of any waivers, paid by a fund as a percentage of average net assets.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Trustees reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Janus Capital and the subadvisers to the Janus Henderson Funds, taking into account the investment objective, strategies and policies of each Janus Henderson Fund, and the knowledge the Trustees gained from their regular meetings with management on at least a quarterly basis and their ongoing review of information related to the Janus Henderson Funds. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the resources and key personnel of Janus Capital and each subadviser, particularly noting those employees who provide investment and risk management services to the Janus Henderson Funds. The Trustees also considered other services provided to the Janus Henderson Funds by Janus Capital or the subadvisers, such as managing the execution of portfolio transactions and the selection of broker-dealers for those transactions. The Trustees considered Janus Capital’s role as administrator to the Janus Henderson Funds, noting that Janus Capital generally, does not receive a fee for its services but is reimbursed for its out-of-pocket costs. The Trustees considered the role of Janus Capital in monitoring adherence to the Janus Henderson Funds’ investment restrictions, providing support services for the Trustees and Trustee committees, and overseeing communications with shareholders and the activities of other service providers, including monitoring compliance with various policies and procedures of the Janus Henderson Funds and with applicable securities laws and regulations.

In this regard, the independent fee consultant noted that Janus Capital provides a number of different services for the Janus Henderson Funds and fund shareholders, ranging from investment management services to various other servicing functions, and that, in its view, Janus Capital is a capable provider of those services. The independent fee consultant also provided its belief that Janus Capital has developed a number of institutional competitive advantages that should enable it to provide superior investment and service performance over the long term.

The Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Janus Capital or the subadviser to each Janus Henderson Fund were appropriate and consistent with the terms of the respective advisory and subadvisory agreements, and that, taking into account steps taken to address those Janus Henderson Funds whose performance lagged that of their peers for certain periods, the Janus Henderson Funds were likely to benefit from the continued provision of those services. They also concluded that Janus Capital and each subadviser had sufficient personnel, with the appropriate education and experience, to serve the Janus Henderson Funds effectively and had demonstrated its ability to attract well-qualified personnel.

Performance of the Funds

The Trustees considered the performance results of each Janus Henderson Fund over various time periods. They noted that they considered Janus Henderson Fund performance data throughout the year, including periodic meetings with each Janus Henderson Fund’s portfolio manager(s), and also reviewed information comparing each Janus Henderson Fund’s performance with the performance of comparable funds and peer groups identified by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent data provider, and with the Janus Henderson Fund’s benchmark index. In this regard, the independent fee consultant found that the overall Janus Henderson Funds’ performance has been reasonable: for the 36 months ended September 30, 2019, approximately 69% of the Janus Henderson Funds were in the top two quartiles of performance, as reported by Morningstar, and for the 12 months ended September 30, 2019, approximately 71% of the Janus Henderson Funds were in the top two quartiles of performance, as reported by Morningstar.

The Trustees noted the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance, while also noting that the Fund has a performance fee structure that results in lower management fees during periods of underperformance, and the steps Janus Capital and Perkins had taken or were taking to improve performance, and that the performance trend was improving.

In consideration of each Janus Henderson Fund’s performance, the Trustees concluded that, taking into account the factors relevant to performance, as well as other considerations, including steps taken to improve performance, the Janus Henderson Fund’s performance warranted continuation of such Janus Henderson Fund’s investment advisory and subadvisory agreement(s).

Costs of Services Provided

The Trustees examined information regarding the fees and expenses of each Janus Henderson Fund in comparison to similar information for other comparable funds as provided by Broadridge, an independent data provider. They also reviewed an analysis of that information provided by their independent fee consultant and noted that the rate of management fees (investment advisory and any administration but excluding out-of-pocket costs) for many of the Janus Henderson Funds, after applicable waivers, was below the average management fee rate of the respective peer group of funds selected by an independent data provider. The Trustees also examined information regarding the subadvisory fees charged for subadvisory services, as applicable, noting that all such fees were paid by Janus Capital out of its management fees collected from such Janus Henderson Fund.

The independent fee consultant provided its belief that the management fees charged by Janus Capital to each of the Janus Henderson Funds under the current investment advisory and administration agreements are reasonable in relation to the services provided by Janus Capital. The independent fee consultant found: (1) the total expenses and management fees of the Janus Henderson Funds to be reasonable relative to other mutual funds; (2) the total expenses, on average, were 10% under the average total expenses of their respective Broadridge Expense Group

peers; and (3) and the management fees for the Janus Henderson Funds, on average, were 7% under the average management fees for their Expense Groups. The Trustees also considered the total expenses for each share class of each Janus Henderson Fund compared to the average total expenses for its Broadridge Expense Group peers and to average total expenses for its Broadridge Expense Universe.

For certain Janus Henderson Funds, the independent fee consultant also performed a systematic “focus list” analysis of expenses which assessed fund fees in the context of fund performance being delivered. Based on this analysis, the independent fee consultant found that the combination of service quality/performance and expenses on these individual Janus Henderson Funds was reasonable in light of performance trends, performance histories, and existence of performance fees, breakpoints, and/or expense waivers on such Janus Henderson Funds.

The Trustees considered the methodology used by Janus Capital and each subadviser in determining compensation payable to portfolio managers, the competitive environment for investment management talent, and the competitive market for mutual funds in different distribution channels.

The Trustees also reviewed management fees charged by Janus Capital and each subadviser to comparable separate account clients and to comparable non-affiliated funds subadvised by Janus Capital or by a subadviser (for which Janus Capital or the subadviser provides only or primarily portfolio management services). Although in most instances subadvisory and separate account fee rates for various investment strategies were lower than management fee rates for Janus Henderson Funds having a similar strategy, the Trustees considered that Janus Capital noted that, under the terms of the management agreements with the Janus Henderson Funds, Janus Capital performs significant additional services for the Janus Henderson Funds that it does not provide to those other clients, including administration services, oversight of the Janus Henderson Funds’ other service providers, trustee support, regulatory compliance and numerous other services, and that, in serving the Janus Henderson Funds, Janus Capital assumes many legal risks and other costs that it does not assume in servicing its other clients. Moreover, they noted that the independent fee consultant found that: (1) the management fees Janus Capital charges to the Janus Henderson Funds are reasonable in relation to the management fees Janus Capital charges to funds subadvised by Janus Capital and to the fees Janus Capital charges to its institutional separate account clients; (2) these subadvised and institutional separate accounts have different service and infrastructure needs; and (3) Janus Henderson mutual fund investors enjoy reasonable fees relative to the fees charged to Janus Henderson subadvised fund and separate account investors; (4) 11 of 12 Janus Henderson Funds have lower management fees than similar funds subadvised by Janus Capital; and (5) six of nine Janus Henderson Funds have lower management fees than similar separate accounts managed by Janus Capital.

The Trustees considered the fees for each Fund for its fiscal year ended in 2018, and noted the following with regard to each Fund’s total expenses, net of applicable fee waivers (the Fund’s “total expenses”):

The Trustees reviewed information on the overall profitability to Janus Capital and its affiliates of their relationship with the Janus Henderson Funds, and considered profitability data of other publicly traded mutual fund advisers. The Trustees recognized that profitability comparisons among fund managers are difficult because of the variation in the type of comparative information that is publicly available, and the profitability of any fund manager is affected by numerous factors, including the organizational structure of the particular fund manager, differences in complex size, difference in product mix, difference in types of business (mutual fund, institutional and other), differences in the types of funds and other accounts it manages, possible other lines of business, the methodology for allocating expenses, and the fund manager’s capital structure and cost of capital.

Additionally, the Trustees considered the estimated profitability to Janus Capital from the investment management services it provided to each Janus Henderson Fund. In their review, the Trustees considered whether Janus Capital and each subadviser receive adequate incentives and resources to manage the Janus Henderson Funds effectively. In reviewing profitability, the Trustees noted that the estimated profitability for an individual Janus Henderson Fund is


Janus Investment Fund	39

Janus Henderson Asia Equity Fund

necessarily a product of the allocation methodology utilized by Janus Capital to allocate its expenses as part of the estimated profitability calculation. In this regard, the Trustees noted that the independent fee consultant found that (1) the expense allocation methodology and rationales utilized by Janus Capital were reasonable and (2) no clear correlation between expense allocations and operating margins. The Trustees also considered that the estimated profitability for an individual Janus Henderson Fund was influenced by a number of factors, including not only the allocation methodology selected, but also the presence of fee waivers and expense caps, and whether the Janus Henderson Fund’s investment management agreement contained breakpoints or a performance fee component. The Trustees determined, after taking into account these factors, among others, that Janus Capital’s estimated profitability with respect to each Janus Henderson Fund was not unreasonable in relation to the services provided, and that the variation in the range of such estimated profitability among the Janus Henderson Funds was not a material factor in the Board’s approval of the reasonableness of any Janus Henderson Fund’s investment management fees.

The Trustees concluded that the management fees payable by each Janus Henderson Fund to Janus Capital and its affiliates, as well as the fees paid by Janus Capital to the subadvisers of subadvised Janus Henderson Funds, were reasonable in relation to the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided, taking into account the fees charged by other advisers for managing comparable mutual funds with similar strategies, the fees Janus Capital and the subadvisers charge to other clients, and, as applicable, the impact of fund performance on management fees payable by the Janus Henderson Funds. The Trustees also concluded that each Janus Henderson Fund’s total expenses were reasonable, taking into account the size of the Janus Henderson Fund, the quality of services provided by Janus Capital and any subadviser, the investment performance of the Janus Henderson Fund, and any expense limitations agreed to or provided by Janus Capital.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered information about the potential for Janus Capital to realize economies of scale as the assets of the Janus Henderson Funds increase. They noted that their independent fee consultant published a report to the Trustees in November 2019 which provided its research and analysis into economies of scale. They also noted that, although many Janus Henderson Funds pay advisory fees at a base fixed rate as a percentage of net assets, without any breakpoints or performance fees, their independent fee consultant concluded that 64% of these Janus Henderson Funds’ share classes have contractual management fees (gross of waivers) below their Broadridge expense group averages. They also noted the following: (1) that for those Janus Henderson Funds whose expenses are being reduced by the contractual expense limitations of Janus Capital, Janus Capital is subsidizing certain of these Janus Henderson Funds because they have not reached adequate scale; (2) as the assets of some of the Janus Henderson Funds have declined in the past few years, certain Janus Henderson Funds have benefited from having advisory fee rates that have remained constant rather than increasing as assets declined; (3) performance fee structures have been implemented for various Janus Henderson Funds that have caused the effective rate of advisory fees payable by such a Janus Henderson Fund to vary depending on the investment performance of the Janus Henderson Fund relative to its benchmark index over the measurement period; and (4) a few Janus Henderson Funds have fee schedules with breakpoints and reduced fee rates above certain asset levels. The Trustees also noted that the Janus Henderson Funds share directly in economies of scale through the lower charges of third-party service providers that are based in part on the combined scale of all of the Janus Henderson Funds.

The Trustees also considered the independent fee consultant’s conclusion that, given the limitations of various analytical approaches to economies of scale and their conflicting results, it is difficult to analytically confirm or deny the existence of economies of scale in the Janus Henderson complex. In this regard, the independent consultant concluded that (1) to the extent there were economies of scale at Janus Capital, Janus Capital’s general strategy of setting fixed management fees below peers appeared to share any such economies with investors even on smaller Janus Henderson Funds which have not yet achieved those economies and (2) by setting lower fixed fees from the start on these Janus Henderson Funds, Janus Capital appeared to be investing to increase the likelihood that these Janus Henderson Funds will grow to a level to achieve any scale economies that may exist. Further, the independent fee consultant provided its belief that Janus Henderson Fund investors are well-served by the fee levels and performance fee structures in place on the Janus Henderson Funds in light of any economies of scale that may be present at Janus Capital.

Based on all of the information reviewed, including the recent and past research and analysis conducted by the Trustees’ independent fee consultant, the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure of each Janus Henderson Fund was reasonable and that the current rates of fees do reflect a sharing between Janus Capital and the Janus

Henderson Fund of any economies of scale that may be present at the current asset level of the Janus Henderson Fund.

Other Benefits to Janus Capital

The Trustees also considered benefits that accrue to Janus Capital and its affiliates and subadvisers to the Janus Henderson Funds from their relationships with the Janus Henderson Funds. They recognized that two affiliates of Janus Capital separately serve the Janus Henderson Funds as transfer agent and distributor, respectively, and the transfer agent receives compensation directly from the non-money market funds for services provided, and that such compensation contributes to the overall profitability of Janus Capital and its affiliates that results from their relationship with the Janus Henderson Funds. The Trustees also considered Janus Capital’s past and proposed use of commissions paid by the Janus Henderson Funds on portfolio brokerage transactions to obtain proprietary and third-party research products and services benefiting the Janus Henderson Fund and/or other clients of Janus Capital and/or Janus Capital, and/or a subadviser to a Janus Henderson Fund. The Trustees concluded that Janus Capital’s and the subadvisers’ use of these types of client commission arrangements to obtain proprietary and third-party research products and services was consistent with regulatory requirements and guidelines and was likely to benefit each Janus Henderson Fund. The Trustees also concluded that, other than the services provided by Janus Capital and its affiliates and subadvisers pursuant to the agreements and the fees to be paid by each Janus Henderson Fund therefor, the Janus Henderson Funds and Janus Capital and the subadvisers may potentially benefit from their relationship with each other in other ways. They concluded that Janus Capital and its affiliates share directly in economies of scale through the lower charges of third-party service providers that are based in part on the combined scale of the Janus Henderson Funds and other clients serviced by Janus Capital and its affiliates. They also concluded that Janus Capital and/or the subadvisers benefit from the receipt of research products and services acquired through commissions paid on portfolio transactions of the Janus Henderson Funds and that the Janus Henderson Funds benefit from Janus Capital’s and/or the subadvisers’ receipt of those products and services as well as research products and services acquired through commissions paid by other clients of Janus Capital and/or other clients of the subadvisers. They further concluded that the success of any Janus Henderson Fund could attract other business to Janus Capital, the subadvisers or other Janus Henderson funds, and that the success of Janus Capital and the subadvisers could enhance Janus Capital’s and the subadvisers’ ability to serve the Janus Henderson Funds.

Approval of an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement for Janus Henderson Small-Mid Cap Value Fund (formerly, Janus Henderson Select Value Fund)

Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus Capital”) met with the Trustees, each of whom serves as an “independent” Trustee (the “Trustees”), on December 5, 2018 and March 14, 2019, to discuss the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Amended Advisory Agreement”) for Janus Henderson Small-Mid Cap Value Fund (formerly, Janus Henderson Select Value Fund) (“Small-Mid Cap Value Fund”) and other matters related to investment strategy changes to shift the market capitalization focus of Small-Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Strategy Change”). At these meetings, the Trustees discussed the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Strategy Change with their independent counsel, separately from management. During the course of the meetings, the Trustees requested and considered such information as they deemed relevant to their deliberations. At the meeting held on March 14, 2019, the Trustees, upon the recommendation of Janus Capital, voted unanimously to approve the Amended Advisory Agreement for Small-Mid Cap Value Fund, and recommended that the Amended Advisory Agreement be submitted to shareholders for approval. The Trustees also approved matters related to the Strategy Change, effective upon approval of the Amended Advisory Agreement by the Fund’s shareholders.

In determining whether to approve the Amended Advisory Agreement, the Trustees noted their most recent consideration of Small-Mid Cap Value Fund’s current advisory agreement (the “Current Advisory Agreement”) as part of the Trustees’ annual review and consideration of whether to continue the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement, as applicable, for each Janus Henderson fund, including Small-Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Annual Review”). The Trustees noted that in connection with the Annual Review: (i) the Trustees received and reviewed information provided by Janus Capital and each sub-adviser, including Perkins Investment Management LLC (“Perkins”), in response to requests of the Trustees and their independent legal counsel, and also received and reviewed information and analysis provided by, and in response to requests of, their independent fee consultant; and (ii) throughout the Annual Review, the Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel. The Trustees also noted that based on the Trustees’ evaluation of the information provided by Janus Capital, Perkins, and the independent fee consultant, as well as other information, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between Small-Mid Cap


Janus Investment Fund	41

Janus Henderson Asia Equity Fund

Additional Information (unaudited)

Value Fund and Janus Capital and Perkins were fair and reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Janus Capital, its affiliates and Perkins, the fees charged for those services, and other matters that the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment, and the Trustees unanimously approved the continuation of the Current Advisory Agreement for another year.

In considering the Amended Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below, none of which by itself was considered dispositive. However, the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ determination to approve the Amended Advisory Agreement are discussed separately below.

· The Trustees determined that the terms of the Amended Advisory Agreement are substantially similar to those of the Current Advisory Agreement, which the Trustees recently reviewed as part of the Annual Review, and the material changes made to the Amended Advisory Agreement address the proposed change to the benchmark index and the description of the period used for calculating the performance fee in order to allow for continuity of the fee based on Small-Mid Cap Value Fund’s historical performance over a 36-month measurement period.

· As part of the Strategy Change, Small-Mid Cap Value Fund will focus its investments on common stocks of companies that are small- and mid-capitalization stocks. The Trustees determined that the proposed benchmark index, the Russell 2500^TM Value Index, is more closely aligned with a small- and mid-cap stock focus than Small-Mid Cap Value Fund’s current benchmark index, the Russell 3000^{^®} Value Index.

· Under the Amended Advisory Agreement, the structure of the performance fee was not changing, other than to utilize a different benchmark and performance calculation period to implement the new benchmark over time, and that this structure had been implemented initially for Small-Mid Cap Value Fund based on analysis provided by the independent fee consultant. The Trustees considered the information provided by Janus Capital in this regard, and noted Janus Capital’s belief that this performance fee structure remained reasonable and appropriate for Small-Mid Cap Value Fund. The Trustees concluded that this performance fee structure was reasonable for Small-Mid Cap Value Fund as proposed, and also determined to seek further analysis from their independent fee consultant with respect to this matter. In this regard, Janus Capital agreed to consider further revisions to the proposed performance fee structure should that be needed based on the additional analysis provided.

· As part of the Strategy Change, Perkins will continue to provide sub-advisory services to Small-Mid Cap Value Fund, but will utilize new portfolio managers to implement Small-Mid Cap Value Fund’s focus on common stocks of companies that are small- and mid-capitalization stocks. In this regard, the Trustees noted the information provided by Janus Capital with respect to the qualifications and experience of the new portfolio managers implementing investment strategies similar to the one to be utilized by Small-Mid Cap Value Fund, and also noted that Perkins and the new portfolio managers provide sub-advisory services to other Janus Henderson funds the Trustees oversee.

· The information provided by Janus Capital with respect to (i) the impact of the Amended Advisory Agreement on the potential advisory fees to be paid by Small-Mid Cap Value Fund going forward; and (ii) the potential transaction costs and capital gains to be incurred by Small-Mid Cap Value Fund as part of the efforts to reposition Small-Mid Cap Value Fund’s portfolio to focus its investments on common stocks of companies that are small- and mid-capitalization stocks. In this regard, the Trustees noted that Small-Mid Cap Value Fund’s operating costs were not expected otherwise to materially change under the Amended Advisory Agreement.

· Janus Capital’s reasons for seeking to implement the Strategy Change, including Janus Capital’s belief that current marketplace demands for a small and mid-cap strategy, combined with Perkins’ experience in managing small- and mid-cap stocks, will provide greater opportunity for Small-Mid Cap Value Fund to grow over the long-term, and that the Strategy Change is designed to create asset growth through increased sales for Small-Mid Cap Value Fund, potentially resulting in increased operational efficiencies for Small-Mid Cap Value Fund.

· Janus Capital will pay the fees and expenses related to seeking shareholder approval of the Amended Advisory Agreement, including the costs related to the preparation and distribution of proxy materials, and all other costs incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies.

After discussion, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between Small-Mid Cap Value Fund, Janus Capital, and Perkins under the Amended Advisory Agreement would continue to be fair and reasonable in light of the

Useful Information About Your Fund Report (unaudited)

Management Commentary

The Management Commentary in this report includes valuable insight as well as statistical information to help you understand how your Fund’s performance and characteristics stack up against those of comparable indices.

If the Fund invests in foreign securities, this report may include information about country exposure. Country exposure is based primarily on the country of risk. A company may be allocated to a country based on other factors such as location of the company’s principal office, the location of the principal trading market for the company’s securities, or the country where a majority of the company’s revenues are derived.

Please keep in mind that the opinions expressed in the Management Commentary are just that: opinions. They are a reflection based on best judgment at the time this report was compiled, which was March 31, 2020. As the investing environment changes, so could opinions. These views are unique and are not necessarily shared by fellow employees or by Janus Henderson in general.

Performance Overviews

Performance overview graphs compare the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund with one or more widely used market indices. When comparing the performance of the Fund with an index, keep in mind that market indices are not available for investment and do not reflect deduction of expenses.

Average annual total returns are quoted for a Fund with more than one year of performance history. Average annual total return is calculated by taking the growth or decline in value of an investment over a period of time, including reinvestment of dividends and distributions, then calculating the annual compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same result had the rate of growth been constant throughout the period. Average annual total return does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

Cumulative total returns are quoted for a Fund with less than one year of performance history. Cumulative total return is the growth or decline in value of an investment over time, independent of the period of time involved. Cumulative total return does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

Pursuant to federal securities rules, expense ratios shown in the performance chart reflect subsidized (if applicable) and unsubsidized ratios. The total annual fund operating expenses ratio is gross of any fee waivers, reflecting the Fund’s unsubsidized expense ratio. The net annual fund operating expenses ratio (if applicable) includes contractual waivers of Janus Capital and reflects the Fund’s subsidized expense ratio. Ratios may be higher or lower than those shown in the “Financial Highlights” in this report.

Schedule of Investments

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

The value of each security is quoted as of the last day of the reporting period. The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies is converted into U.S. dollars.

If the Fund invests in foreign securities, it will also provide a summary of investments by country. This summary reports the Fund exposure to different countries by providing the percentage of securities invested in each country. The country of each security represents the country of risk. The Fund’s Schedule of Investments relies upon the industry group and country classifications published by Barclays and/or MSCI Inc.

Tables listing details of individual forward currency contracts, futures, written options, swaptions, and swaps follow the Fund’s Schedule of Investments (if applicable).

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.

Useful Information About Your Fund Report (unaudited)

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

The section entitled “Net Assets Consist of” breaks down the components of the Fund’s net assets. Because the Fund must distribute substantially all earnings, you will notice that a significant portion of net assets is shareholder capital.

The last section of this statement reports the net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the Fund’s net assets for each share class (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding.

Statement of Operations

This statement details the Fund’s income, expenses, realized gains and losses on securities and currency transactions, and changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of Fund holdings.

The first section in this statement, entitled “Investment Income,” reports the dividends earned from securities and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the Fund.

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

The last section lists the amounts of realized gains or losses from investment and foreign currency transactions, and changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. The Fund will realize a gain (or loss) when it sells its position in a particular security. A change in unrealized gain (or loss) refers to the change in net appreciation or depreciation of the Fund during the reporting period. “Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss) on Investments” is affected both by changes in the market value of Fund holdings and by gains (or losses) realized during the reporting period.

Statements of Changes in Net Assets

These statements report the increase or decrease in the Fund’s net assets during the reporting period. Changes in the Fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, dividends and distributions to investors, and capital share transactions. This is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the Fund’s net asset size to change during the period.

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

The reinvestment of dividends and distributions is included under “Capital Share Transactions.” “Capital Shares” refers to the money investors contribute to the Fund through purchases or withdrawals via redemptions. The Fund’s net assets will increase and decrease in value as investors purchase and redeem shares from the Fund.

Financial Highlights

This schedule provides a per-share breakdown of the components that affect the Fund’s NAV for current and past reporting periods as well as total return, asset size, ratios, and portfolio turnover rate.

The first line in the table reflects the NAV per share at the beginning of the reporting period. The next line reports the net investment income/(loss) per share. Following is the per share total of net gains/(losses), realized and unrealized. Per share dividends and distributions to investors are then subtracted to arrive at the NAV per share at the end of the period. The next line reflects the total return for the period. The total return may include adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required at the period end for financial reporting purposes. As a result, the

total return may differ from the total return reflected for individual shareholder transactions. Also included are ratios of expenses and net investment income to average net assets.

The Fund’s expenses may be reduced through expense offsets and expense reimbursements. The ratios shown reflect expenses before and after any such offsets and reimbursements.

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

The next figure is the portfolio turnover rate, which measures the buying and selling activity in the Fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the asset size of the Fund, fluctuating volume of shareholder purchase and redemption orders, the nature of the Fund’s investments, and the investment style and/or outlook of the portfolio manager(s) and/or investment personnel. A 100% rate implies that an amount equal to the value of the entire portfolio was replaced once during the fiscal 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 entire portfolio is traded every six months.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

Janus Henderson Balanced Fund’s Class I Shares returned -6.73% for the six-month period ended March 31, 2020, compared with a -5.24% return for the Balanced Index, an internally calculated blended benchmark. The Balanced Index is composed of a 55% weighting in the S&P 500^{^®} Index, the Fund’s primary benchmark, and a 45% weighting in the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund’s secondary benchmark. During the period, the S&P 500 Index returned -12.31%, while the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 3.33%.

INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT

Equities generated strong gains in late 2019. A benign interest rate environment, progress in U.S.-China trade relations and a strong consumer provided a positive backdrop for U.S. stocks. However, equity markets faced an unprecedented sell-off in early 2020, with speed and magnitude of historic proportions. The exogenous shock of the COVID-19 coronavirus ushered in a period of severe economic uncertainty and market volatility as governments around the world restricted travel and social activity to help contain the virus. Contributing to the malaise was a collapse in oil prices when a virus-related drop in demand was met by a flood of supply after OPEC and Russia failed to agree on production cutbacks. Central bank and government stimulus action was swift and aggressive. The Federal Reserve (Fed) cut policy rates to zero and committed to open-ended quantitative easing while Congress approved over $2 trillion in crisis support to consumers and businesses. Energy was by far the worst-performing sector in the S&P 500 Index. Financials also suffered as the Fed slashed interest rates. Information technology was the only sector to generate positive returns. The health care sector also fared relatively well.

Corporate credit experienced a similar swing, with spreads (the difference in yield between a security and its underlying risk-free benchmark) tightening through mid-January and then widening dramatically due to heightened risk of downgrades and defaults. Investors flocked to U.S. Treasuries and rates fell across the yield curve. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield closed March at 0.67%, down from 1.67% in September.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Fund, which seeks to provide more consistent returns over time by allocating across the spectrum of fixed income and equity securities, underperformed the Balanced Index, its blended benchmark of the S&P 500 Index (55%) and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (45%). The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

We took advantage of 2019’s strong performance in equities and decreased our equity exposure heading into March’s precipitous decline in risk markets. We determined it prudent to reduce exposure to some higher-beta names that were trading at or near peak valuations and lowered our exposure to travel and leisure, energy and rate-sensitive financials. Similarly, we adopted a more defensive stance within the fixed income sleeve. We repositioned the Fund from a relatively bullish stance with 63% in equities in September to a conservative allocation by period end, with roughly 48% in stocks, 52% in fixed income and a small portion in cash. We believe this cautious stance is appropriate given the lack of visibility into the potential duration of the COVID-19 crisis and the corresponding degree of economic damage. Going forward, the asset allocation weightings will continue to be dynamic, based on market conditions and the investment opportunities our teams identify across asset classes.

The Fund’s equity sleeve underperformed the S&P 500 Index. Boeing was the sleeve’s largest relative detractor. The stock was challenged early in the period, as it awaited the Federal Aviation Administration’s approval for the


Janus Investment Fund	1

Janus Henderson Balanced Fund (unaudited)

reinstatement of the 737 MAX aircraft. Late in the period, Boeing faced severe declines in business activity due to social distancing constraints, as did other top detractors Norwegian Cruise Line and Sysco. We exited our position in Norwegian, as we believe the global travel and leisure industries will experience long-term reverberations stemming from the COVID-19 crisis. We reduced exposure to Boeing and Sysco but still believe in the long-term potential of their businesses. Chemical producer LyondellBasell was another large detractor. The stock struggled given prices for ethylene – a primary product line – are generally tied to oil prices, which fell to less than $21 per barrel. We closed our position.

Other positioning, including underweights to the hard-hit energy and financials sectors, aided performance. The balance sheet strength of our top-performing companies and their ability to fund operations without accessing the capital markets led them to perform relatively well during the period. Microsoft and Adobe further benefited as their business lines are expected to hold up better than the overall economy due to the importance of their services to enterprises and the economic value they can create for customers. Pharmaceutical companies Eli Lilly & Co. and Bristol Myers Squibb also supported results given the often-critical nature of their products will likely result in minimal disruption in demand.

With the Fund’s overall asset allocation verging on bullish in the fourth quarter, we had reduced risk in the fixed income sleeve coming into 2020. As the spread of COVID-19 gathered momentum, but before the bulk of the markets’ collapse, we sought to preserve capital and increase liquidity by lowering our credit allocations further and increasing duration (a measure of interest rate risk) to counter the Fund’s risk asset allocations. Within corporate credit, we actively repositioned into higher-quality names we expect to better tolerate a recession.

Despite these changes, the fixed income sleeve underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Significant spread widening led our out-of-benchmark high-yield exposure, even at a multiyear low, to be among the primary drivers of underperformance. In line with the drop in credit market liquidity, mortgage securities experienced technical dislocations and were among our largest asset class detractors. At the credit sector level, our energy holdings generally detracted, and positions in WPX Energy and Continental Resource weighed on performance as the price of oil plummeted.

Positioning and security selection within investment-grade corporate credit aided relative results. With spreads reaching historically extreme levels and stimulus measures reintroducing liquidity near period end, we added to higher-quality corporate bonds through the new issue market in companies we think can perform well in a prolonged economic downturn. Additions in Coca-Cola and defense company General Dynamics added to incremental returns. Negligible exposure to government-related securities and avoiding some of the period’s large fallen angels also supported results.

OUTLOOK

The shuttering of the global economy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented, as has the resulting market volatility. We know the economic ramifications will be significant, but with the duration of the shutdown still uncertain, the extent of that damage is yet to be fully understood. Stimulus from fiscal and monetary authorities has been large and swift, but high levels of uncertainty will likely hamper the effectiveness of both in the short term, leading us to expect that more will need to be done.

While premature to make forecasts around the timing of an eventual rebound, ultimately, once the health care crisis recedes, we do expect a level of growth to return, fueled by a renewal of demand and aided by the stimulus efforts. For now, we believe it is prudent to position defensively, but as companies have repriced broadly, it is equally important to remain vigilant for attractive opportunities that could benefit in an eventual recovery. Turbulent market environments such as these reinforce our belief in an active approach, both from an asset allocation standpoint and through our individual equity and fixed income holdings.

We have reduced our equity exposure and anticipate maintaining that conservative positioning in the near term, but we continue to focus on stocks of high-quality companies with significant free cash flow and strong balance sheets, which we believe will be able to better weather the storm and perhaps emerge in an even stronger competitive position. For some time, our portfolio has emphasized a set of industry trends with long-term tailwinds, including the shift to cloud computing, growth in Software as a Service business models and the increasing popularity of digital payments. We expect these themes to remain valid and potentially solidify in the face of social distancing.


2	MARCH 31, 2020

Janus Henderson Balanced Fund (unaudited)

In the fixed income sleeve, we also remain focused on companies more inclined to weather a tough economic cycle and are largely avoiding names with significant cyclical or commodity exposure. This preference is reinforced by the Fed’s buying programs. After the magnitude of spread widening this quarter, corporate credit valuations are looking more attractive, but we expect downgrades, company bankruptcies and consumer delinquencies to rise sharply. We are open to taking advantage of strong opportunities, but in-depth security analysis remains paramount. As we seek diversification across credit markets, we expect to maintain our securitized allocation, with a focus on higher-quality structures, which should also benefit from Fed purchases. We expect the volume of securities being bought, coupled with the Fed holding interest rates steady, to keep Treasury yields relatively range-bound, but we will stay alert for any eventual signs of inflation.

As we move through this crisis, we will continue to adhere to the same philosophy and process that have allowed us to navigate these and other challenging conditions: a dynamic approach to asset allocation that leverages our bottom-up, fundamental equity and fixed income research with a disciplined risk management overlay.

Thank you for investing in the Janus Henderson Balanced Fund.

an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Assets or liabilities categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy generally include: debt securities fair valued in accordance with the evaluated bid or ask prices supplied by a pricing service; securities traded on OTC markets and listed securities for which no sales are reported that are fair valued at the latest bid price (or yield equivalent thereof) obtained from one or more dealers transacting in a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by the Fund’s Trustees; certain short-term debt securities with maturities of 60 days or less that are fair valued at amortized cost; and equity securities of foreign issuers whose fair value is determined by using systematic fair valuation models provided by independent third parties in order to adjust for stale pricing which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the close of the NYSE. Other securities that may be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy include, but are not limited to, preferred stocks, bank loans, swaps, investments in unregistered investment companies, options, and forward contracts.

Dividends and Distributions

Dividends of net investment income are generally declared and distributed quarterly, and realized capital gains (if any) are distributed annually. The Fund may treat a portion of the amount paid to redeem shares as a distribution of investment company taxable income and realized capital gains that are reflected in the net asset value. This practice, commonly referred to as “equalization,” has no effect on the redeeming shareholder or a Fund’s total return, but may reduce the amounts that would otherwise be required to be paid as taxable dividends to the remaining shareholders. It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) could challenge the Funds’ equalization methodology or calculations, and any such challenge could result in additional tax, interest, or penalties to be paid by the Fund.

inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Fund’s investments. Economies and financial markets throughout the world have become increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or country will adversely affect markets or issuers in other regions or countries, including the United States. These disruptions could prevent a Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and negatively impact a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective(s). Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value of a Fund. In addition, these disruptions could also impair the information technology and other operational systems upon which the Fund’s service providers, including Janus Capital or the subadviser (as applicable), rely, and could otherwise disrupt the ability of employees of the Fund’s service providers to perform essential tasks on behalf of the Fund.

Loans

The Fund may invest in various commercial loans, including bank loans, bridge loans, debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) loans, mezzanine loans, and other fixed and floating rate loans. These loans may be acquired through loan participations and assignments or on a when-issued basis. Commercial loans will comprise no more than 20% of the Fund’s total assets. Below are descriptions of the types of loans held by the Fund as of March 31, 2020.

· Bank Loans - Bank loans are obligations of companies or other entities entered into in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, and refinancings. The Fund’s investments in bank loans are generally acquired as a participation interest in, or assignment of, loans originated by a lender or other financial institution. These investments may include institutionally-traded floating and fixed-rate debt securities.

· Floating Rate Loans – Floating rate loans are debt securities that have floating interest rates, that adjust periodically, and are tied to a benchmark lending rate, such as London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). In other cases, the lending rate could be tied to the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks or the rate paid on large certificates of deposit traded in the secondary markets. If the benchmark lending rate changes, the rate payable to lenders under the loan will change at the next scheduled adjustment date specified in the loan agreement. Floating rate loans are typically issued to companies (‘‘borrowers’’) in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, and refinancings. Floating rate loan investments are generally below investment grade. Senior floating rate loans are secured by specific collateral of a borrower and are senior in the borrower’s capital structure. The senior position in the borrower’s capital structure generally gives holders of senior loans a claim on certain of the borrower’s assets that is senior to subordinated debt and preferred and common stock in the case of a borrower’s default. Floating rate loan investments may involve foreign borrowers, and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. Floating rate loans often involve

borrowers whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and companies that are highly leveraged. The Fund may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. While the Fund generally expects to invest in fully funded term loans, certain of the loans in which the Fund may invest include revolving loans, bridge loans, and delayed draw term loans.

Purchasers of floating rate loans may pay and/or receive certain fees. The Fund may receive fees such as covenant waiver fees or prepayment penalty fees. The Fund may pay fees such as facility fees. Such fees may affect the Fund’s return.

· Mezzanine Loans - Mezzanine loans are secured by the stock of the company that owns the assets. Mezzanine loans are a hybrid of debt and equity financing that is typically used to fund the expansion of existing companies. A mezzanine loan is composed of debt capital that gives the lender the right to convert to an ownership or equity interest in the company if the loan is not paid back in time and in full. Mezzanine loans typically are the most subordinated debt obligation in an issuer’s capital structure.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities

Mortgage- and asset-backed securities represent interests in “pools” of commercial or residential mortgages or other assets, including consumer loans or receivables. The Fund may purchase fixed or variable rate commercial or residential mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), or other governmental or government-related entities. Ginnie Mae’s guarantees are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which means that the U.S. Government guarantees that the interest and principal will be paid when due. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. In September 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), an agency of the U.S. Government, placed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under conservatorship. Since that time, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have received capital support through U.S. Treasury preferred stock purchases, and Treasury and Federal Reserve purchases of their mortgage-backed securities. The FHFA and the U.S. Treasury have imposed strict limits on the size of these entities’ mortgage portfolios. The FHFA has the power to cancel any contract entered into by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac prior to FHFA’s appointment as conservator or receiver, including the guarantee obligations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The Fund may also purchase other mortgage- and asset-backed securities through single- and multi-seller conduits, collateralized debt obligations, structured investment vehicles, and other similar securities. Asset-backed securities may be backed by various consumer obligations, including automobile loans, equipment leases, credit card receivables, or other collateral. In the event the underlying loans are not paid, the securities’ issuer could be forced to sell the assets and recognize losses on such assets, which could impact your return. Unlike traditional debt instruments, payments on these securities include both interest and a partial payment of principal. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are subject to both extension risk, where borrowers pay off their debt obligations more slowly in times of rising interest rates, and prepayment risk, where borrowers pay off their debt obligations sooner than expected in times of declining interest rates. These risks may reduce the Fund’s returns. In addition, investments in mortgage- and asset-backed securities, including those comprised of subprime mortgages, may be subject to a higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk than various other types of fixed-income securities. Additionally, although mortgage-backed securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

Real Estate Investing

Sovereign Debt

The Fund may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. government debt securities (“sovereign debt”). Some investments in sovereign debt, such as U.S. sovereign debt, are considered low risk. However, investments in sovereign debt, especially the debt of less developed countries, can involve a high degree of risk, including the risk that the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or to pay the interest on


Janus Investment Fund	41

Janus Henderson Balanced Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

its sovereign debt in a timely manner. A sovereign debtor’s willingness or ability to satisfy its debt obligation may be affected by various factors including, but not limited to, its cash flow situation, the extent of its foreign currency reserves, the availability of foreign exchange when a payment is due, the relative size of its debt position in relation to its economy as a whole, the sovereign debtor’s policy toward international lenders, and local political constraints to which the governmental entity may be subject. Sovereign debtors may also be dependent on expected disbursements from foreign governments, multilateral agencies, and other entities. The failure of a sovereign debtor to implement economic reforms, achieve specified levels of economic performance, or repay principal or interest when due may result in the cancellation of third party commitments to lend funds to the sovereign debtor, which may further impair such debtor’s ability or willingness to timely service its debts. The Fund may be requested to participate in the rescheduling of such sovereign debt and to extend further loans to governmental entities, which may adversely affect the Fund’s holdings. In the event of default, there may be limited or no legal remedies for collecting sovereign debt and there may be no bankruptcy proceedings through which the Fund may collect all or part of the sovereign debt that a governmental entity has not repaid. In addition, to the extent the Fund invests in non-U.S. sovereign debt, it may be subject to currency risk.

TBA Commitments

The Fund may enter into “to be announced” or “TBA” commitments. TBAs are forward agreements for the purchase or sale of securities, including mortgage-backed securities, for a fixed price, with payment and delivery on an agreed upon future settlement date. The specific securities to be delivered are not identified at the trade date. However, delivered securities must meet specified terms, including issuer, rate, and mortgage terms. Although the particular TBA securities must meet industry-accepted “good delivery” standards, there can be no assurance that a security purchased on forward commitment basis will ultimately be issued or delivered by the counterparty. During the settlement period, the Fund will still bear the risk of any decline in the value of the security to be delivered. Because TBA commitments do not require the purchase and sale of identical securities, the characteristics of the security delivered to the Fund may be less favorable than the security delivered to the dealer. If the counterparty to a transaction fails to deliver the security, the Fund could suffer a loss.

When-Issued, Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment Transactions

The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis. When purchasing a security on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis, the Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. Typically, no income accrues on securities the Fund has committed to purchase prior to the time delivery of the securities is made. Because the Fund is not required to pay for the security until the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with the Fund’s other investments. If the other party to a transaction fails to deliver the securities, the Fund could miss a favorable price or yield opportunity. If the Fund remains substantially fully invested at a time when when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment purchases are outstanding, the purchases may result in a form of leverage.

When the Fund has sold a security on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis, the Fund does not participate in future gains or losses with respect to the security. If the other party to a transaction fails to pay for the securities, the Fund could suffer a loss. Additionally, when selling a security on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis without owning the security, the Fund will incur a loss if the security’s price appreciates in value such that the security’s price is above the agreed upon price on the settlement date. The Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a transaction after it is entered into, and may purchase or sell when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment securities before the settlement date, which may result in a gain or loss.

3. Investment Advisory Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund pay Janus Capital an investment advisory fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly. The Fund’s contractual investment advisory fee rate (expressed as an annual rate) is 0.55% of its average daily net assets.

Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund or reimburse expenses in an amount equal to the amount, if any, that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses, including the investment advisory fee, but excluding the fees payable pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 plan, shareholder servicing fees, such as transfer agency fees (including out-of-pocket costs), administrative services fees and any networking/omnibus/administrative fees payable by any share class, brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, exceed the annual rate of 0.68% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Janus Capital has agreed to continue the waivers for at least a one-year period commencing January 28, 2020. If applicable, amounts

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

waived and/or reimbursed to the Fund by Janus Capital are disclosed as “Excess Expense Reimbursement and Waivers” on the Statement of Operations.

Certain, but not all, intermediaries may charge administrative fees (such as networking and omnibus) to investors in Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares for administrative services provided on behalf of such investors. These administrative fees are paid by the Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares of the Fund to Janus Services, which uses such fees to reimburse intermediaries. Consistent with the Transfer Agency Agreement between Janus Services and the Fund, Janus Services may negotiate the level, structure, and/or terms of the administrative fees with intermediaries requiring such fees on behalf of the Fund. Janus Capital and its affiliates benefit from an increase in assets that may result from such relationships. The Funds’ Trustees have set limits on fees that the Funds may incur with respect to administrative fees paid for omnibus or networked accounts. Such limits are subject to change by the Trustees in the future. These amounts are disclosed as “Transfer agent networking and omnibus fees” on the Statement of Operations.

Effective July 1, 2019, the Board of Trustees of Janus Investment Fund approved a new administrative fee rate for Class D Shares detailed in the table below.


Average Daily Net Assets of Class D Shares of the Janus Henderson funds	Administrative Services Fee
Under $40 billion	0.12%
$40 billion – $49.9 billion	0.10%
Over $49.9 billion	0.08%

The Fund’s actual Class D administrative fee rate was 0.12% for the reporting period.

Janus Services receives an administrative services fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares for providing or procuring administrative services to investors in Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares of the Fund. Janus Services expects to use all or a significant portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial intermediaries for providing these services. Janus Services or its affiliates may also pay fees for services provided by intermediaries to the extent the fees charged by intermediaries exceed the 0.25% of net assets charged to Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares of the Fund. Janus Services may keep certain amounts retained for reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs incurred for servicing clients of Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares. These amounts are disclosed as “Transfer agent administrative fees and expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Janus Services is compensated for its services related to the Fund’s Class D Shares. These amounts are disclosed as “Other transfer agent fees and expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Under a distribution and shareholder servicing plan (the “Plan”) adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays the Trust’s distributor, Janus Henderson Distributors, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, a fee for the sale and distribution and/or shareholder servicing of the Shares at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Class A Shares’ average daily net assets, of up to 1.00% of the Class C Shares’ average daily net assets, of up to 0.50% of the Class R Shares' average daily net assets, and of up to 0.25% of the Class S Shares’ average daily net assets. Under the terms of the Plan, the Trust is authorized to make payments to Janus Henderson Distributors for remittance to retirement plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial intermediaries, as compensation for distribution and/or shareholder services performed by such entities for their customers who are investors in the Fund. These amounts are disclosed as “12b-1 Distribution and shareholder servicing fees” on the Statement of Operations. Payments under the Plan are not tied exclusively to actual 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses, and the payments may exceed 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses actually incurred. If any of the Fund’s actual 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses incurred during a calendar year are less than the payments made during a calendar year, the Fund will be refunded the difference. Refunds, if any, are included in “12b-1 Distribution and shareholder servicing fees” in the Statement of Operations.

the 1940 Act that govern the operation of money market funds and prices its shares at NAV reflecting market-based values of its portfolio securities (i.e., a “floating” NAV) rounded to the fourth decimal place (e.g., $1.0000). The Sweep Vehicle is permitted to impose a liquidity fee (of up to 2%) on redemptions from the Sweep Vehicle or a redemption gate that temporarily suspends redemptions from the Sweep Vehicle for up to 10 business days during a 90 day period. There are no restrictions on the Fund's ability to withdraw investments from the Sweep Vehicle at will, and there are no unfunded capital commitments due from the Fund to the Sweep Vehicle. The Sweep Vehicle does not charge any management fee, sales charge or service fee.

Any purchases and sales, realized gains/losses and recorded dividends from affiliated investments during the period ended March 31, 2020 can be found in the “Schedules of Affiliated Investments” located in the Schedule of Investments.

A contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% will be deducted with respect to Class A Shares purchased without a sales load and redeemed within 12 months of purchase, unless waived. Any applicable CDSC will be 1.00% of the lesser of the original purchase price or the value of the redemption of the Class A Shares redeemed. During the period ended March 31, 2020, redeeming shareholders of Class A Shares paid CDSCs of $6,316 to Janus Henderson Distributors.

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities (“cross-trade”) between itself and other funds or accounts managed by Janus Capital in accordance with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Rule 17a-7”), when the transaction is consistent with the investment objectives and policies of the Fund and in accordance with the Internal Cross Trade Procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. These procedures have been designed to ensure that any cross-trade of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or account that is or could be considered an affiliate of the Fund under certain limited circumstances by virtue of having a common investment adviser, common Officer, or common Trustee complies with Rule 17a-7. Under these procedures, each cross-trade is effected at the current market price to save costs where allowed. During the period ended March 31, 2020, the Fund engaged in cross trades amounting to $123,540,226 in purchases and $60,194,429 in sales, resulting in a net realized gain of $4,146,317. The net realized gain is included within the “Net Realized Gain/(Loss) on Investments” section of the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

FUND SNAPSHOT

We believe that constructing a high-conviction portfolio of companies where the market doesn’t properly recognize the intrinsic value of a business can outperform overtime. We think of ourselves as business model investors, looking to invest in companies with durable business models, whose intrinsic value grows over time, and whose management team’s interests are aligned with shareholders.

Nick Schommer

portfolio manager

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2020, the Janus Henderson Contrarian Fund’s Class I Shares generated a return of -17.03% versus a return of -12.31% for the S&P 500^{^®} Index, the Fund's benchmark.

INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT

Equities generated strong gains in late 2019. A benign interest rate environment, progress in U.S.-China trade relations and a strong consumer provided a positive backdrop for U.S. equities. However, U.S. stocks faced an unprecedented sell-off in 2020, with speed and magnitude of historic proportions. The S&P 500 Index declined sharply as the COVID-19 coronavirus spread globally, first disrupting supply chains and then causing a global demand shock, which dramatically slowed economic activity. Energy markets already reeling from a sharp downturn in demand were further depressed when Saudi Arabia and Russia engaged in an oil market-share war. The Federal Reserve (Fed) cut the federal funds rate swiftly to 0%, where it will likely remain for an extended period, and injected much-needed liquidity into markets. Congress also quickly passed an initial round of fiscal stimulus in an attempt to blunt the fallout, which has already resulted in record unemployment filings.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, during the period. With the unprecedented economic shutdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this period proved to be a challenging investment environment following a strong 2019. As an all-cap strategy, we typically hold positions across market capitalizations. Our positions in smaller-capitalization stocks hurt performance as large-cap stocks, in general, outperformed smaller ones. We have also seen companies with financial leverage punished more severely during the downturn as the market is concerned about liquidity.

Our investment philosophy seeks to own durable franchises where the business model is misunderstood, the company is undervalued or the growth is underestimated. During the period, some of our individual holdings in the misunderstood business models bucket were not as defensive as we would have expected in a more traditional market decline. For instance, holdings that do not typically exhibit economic cyclicality experienced unexpected weakness. Liberty Media, which is the owner of Formula One and has a stake in concert and ticketing company Live Nation, was negatively impacted as sporting events and concerts were canceled worldwide.

Another detractor was Constellium, a downstream manufacturer of aluminum products for the packaging, aerospace and auto industries. The stock suffered as demand for some of the company’s products weakened and as the market became more concerned with its financial leverage. However, we continue to believe in the long-term outlook for the company and its products’ usage in applications such as electric vehicles and sustainable packaging.

PagSeguro, a Brazilian payment processing company, was also among the top relative detractors. During the period the company reported lower-than-expected results and also suffered from a general slowdown in payment activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we owned the company for its potential to benefit from a shift globally to digital payments, we exited our position during the period.

While we are disappointed that a number of our companies were down during the period, some of our holdings contributed positively to relative performance. Chewy, an online retailer of pet food and supplies, benefited from broad stay-at-home mandates. As consumers embraced online shopping for themselves, they also turned to online shopping for their pets. This

allowed Chewy to gain customers without having to spend heavily on customer acquisition. We believe the company may continue to benefit after the coronavirus is contained, as behaviors adopted now may be likely to stay entrenched.

Another positive contributor during the period was T-Mobile. The company received approval for its long-pending acquisition of competitor Sprint, which was the main driver of positive performance. We expect this misunderstood business model to become a leader in 5G mobility.

ICU Medical benefited during the period as the company’s products are used in intensive care units, which saw an increase in patients from the coronavirus pandemic. We continue to like the high margins and strong competitive positioning of ICU’s IV pump and consumables businesses, as well as the company’s strong management team.

OUTLOOK

It is clear that we are now in a recession as a result of COVID-19. The global economy has been put into a near total shutdown with cautious optimism that it can be turned back on once the spread of the virus is contained. However, the ripple effects of the unprecedented shutdown are still unknown and will likely be widespread.

Thus far, stimulus measures have been enormous and will likely continue. The response has been much faster than in the last recession associated with the Global Financial Crisis. As a result, we believe that budget deficits will increase and tax receipts on all levels of government will be lower, necessitating an extended period of very low interest rates. We believe these factors could create a supportive environment for equities once there is some confidence in where corporate cash flows stabilize.

We are vigilantly monitoring the situation, focusing on the risks to revenues, future free cash flow, financial leverage and liquidity of the businesses we own. Simultaneously, we are mindful of the opportunities presented by this event, where stock price depreciation may not reflect our view of companies’ intrinsic values. We will continue to opportunistically invest in durable businesses whose stocks are trading at a significant discount to intrinsic value, whose intrinsic value grows over time and whose management teams are aligned with shareholders.

In the wake of market volatility, we have sought to concentrate the portfolio in the names in which we have the most conviction. Mindful of the company-specific risks and broader economic implications of this virus, we will continue to use our longer investing time horizon to take advantage of short-term volatility while positioning the portfolio for the eventual recovery in the underlying value of our companies.

Thank you for your investment in Janus Henderson Contrarian Fund.

	Relative contribution reflects how the portolio's holdings impacted return relative to the benchmark. Cash and securities not held in the portfolio are not shown. For equity portfolios, relative contribution compares the performance of a security in the portfolio to the benchmark's total return, factoring in the difference in weight of that security in the benchmark. Returns are calculated using daily returns and previous day ending weights rolled up by ticker, excluding fixed income securities, gross of advisory fees, may exclude certain derivatives and will differ from actual performance. Performance attribution reflects returns gross of advisory fees and may differ from actual returns as they are based on end of day holdings. Attribution is calculated by geometrically linking daily returns for the portfolio and index.

2. Derivative Instruments

The Fund may invest in various types of derivatives, which may at times result in significant derivative exposure. A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments including, but not limited to: futures contracts, put options, call options, options on future contracts, options on foreign currencies, options on recovery locks, options on security and commodity indices, swaps, forward contracts, structured investments, and other equity-linked derivatives. Each derivative instrument that was held by the Fund during the period ended March 31, 2020 is discussed in further detail below. A summary of derivative activity by the Fund is reflected in the tables at the end of the Schedule of Investments.

The Fund may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes (to offset risks associated with an investment, currency exposure, or market conditions), to adjust currency exposure relative to a benchmark index, or for speculative purposes (to earn income and seek to enhance returns). When the Fund invests in a derivative for speculative purposes, the Fund will be fully exposed to the risks of loss of that derivative, which may sometimes be greater than the derivative’s cost. The Fund may not use any derivative to gain exposure to an asset or class of assets that it would be prohibited by its investment restrictions from purchasing directly. The Fund’s ability to use derivative instruments may also be limited by tax considerations.

Investments in derivatives in general are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Investments in derivatives may not directly correlate with the price movements of the underlying instrument. As a result, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to additional risks that it would not be subject to if it invested directly in the securities underlying those derivatives. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than otherwise would be the case. Derivatives can be volatile and may involve significant risks.

In pursuit of its investment objective, the Fund may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease exposure to the following market risk factors:


26	MARCH 31, 2020

Janus Henderson Contrarian Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

· Commodity Risk – the risk related to the change in value of commodities or commodity-linked investments due to changes in the overall market movements, volatility of the underlying benchmark, changes in interest rates, or other factors affecting a particular industry or commodity such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs, and international economic, political, and regulatory developments.

· Counterparty Risk – the risk that the counterparty (the party on the other side of the transaction) on a derivative transaction will be unable to honor its financial obligation to the Fund.

· Credit Risk – the risk an issuer will be unable to make principal and interest payments when due, or will default on its obligations.

· Currency Risk – the risk that changes in the exchange rate between currencies will adversely affect the value (in U.S. dollar terms) of an investment.

· Equity Risk – the risk related to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

· Index Risk – if the derivative is linked to the performance of an index, it will be subject to the risks associated with changes in that index. If the index changes, the Fund could receive lower interest payments or experience a reduction in the value of the derivative to below what the Fund paid. Certain indexed securities, including inverse securities (which move in an opposite direction to the index), may create leverage, to the extent that they increase or decrease in value at a rate that is a multiple of the changes in the applicable index.

· Interest Rate Risk – the risk that the value of fixed-income securities will generally decline as prevailing interest rates rise, which may cause the Fund’s NAV to likewise decrease.

· Leverage Risk – the risk associated with certain types of leveraged investments or trading strategies pursuant to which relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of an investment. The Fund creates leverage by investing in instruments, including derivatives, where the investment loss can exceed the original amount invested. Certain investments or trading strategies, such as short sales, that involve leverage can result in losses that greatly exceed the amount originally invested.

· Liquidity Risk – the risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time that the seller would like or at the price that the seller believes the security is currently worth.

Derivatives may generally be traded OTC or on an exchange. Derivatives traded OTC are agreements that are individually negotiated between parties and can be tailored to meet a purchaser’s needs. OTC derivatives are not guaranteed by a clearing agency and may be subject to increased credit risk.

In an effort to mitigate credit risk associated with derivatives traded OTC, the Fund may enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties whereby, subject to certain minimum exposure requirements, the Fund may require the counterparty to post collateral if the Fund has a net aggregate unrealized gain on all OTC derivative contracts with a particular counterparty. Additionally, the Fund may deposit cash and/or treasuries as collateral with the counterparty and/or custodian daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) if the Fund has a net aggregate unrealized loss on OTC derivative contracts with a particular counterparty. All liquid securities and restricted cash are considered to cover in an amount at all times equal to or greater than the Fund’s commitment with respect to certain exchange-traded derivatives, centrally cleared derivatives, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, short sales, and/or securities with extended settlement dates. There is no guarantee that counterparty exposure is reduced and these arrangements are dependent on Janus Capital's ability to establish and maintain appropriate systems and trading.

Options Contracts


Janus Investment Fund	27

Janus Henderson Contrarian Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

vendor’s option valuation model. To the extent reliable market quotations are available, option contracts are valued using market quotations. In cases when an approved vendor cannot provide coverage for an option and there is no reliable market quotation, a broker quotation or an internal valuation using the Black-Scholes model, the Cox-Rubinstein Binomial Option Pricing Model, or other appropriate option pricing model is used. Certain options contracts are marked-to-market daily, and the daily variation margin is recorded as a receivable or payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Variation margin receivable” or “Variation margin payable” (if applicable).

The Fund may use options contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates, the values of equities, or foreign currencies. The Fund generally invests in options to hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings. The use of such instruments may involve certain additional risks as a result of unanticipated movements in the market. A lack of correlation between the value of an instrument underlying an option and the asset being hedged, or unexpected adverse price movements, could render the Fund’s hedging strategy unsuccessful. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased or sold. The Fund may be subject to counterparty risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, equity risk, commodity risk, and currency risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective through its investments in options contracts.

Options traded on an exchange are regulated and the terms of the options are standardized. Options traded OTC expose the Fund to counterparty risk in the event that the counterparty does not perform. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

In writing an option, the Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. Options written are reported as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Options written, at value” (if applicable). The risk in writing call options is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the options are exercised. The risk in writing put options is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the options are exercised. The risk in buying options is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the options are exercised. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund buying or selling a security at a price different from the current market value.

During the period, the Fund wrote call options on various equity securities for the purpose of decreasing exposure to individual equity risk and/or generating income.

decisions in a timely manner and negatively impact a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective(s). Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value of a Fund. In addition, these disruptions could also impair the information technology and other operational systems upon which the Fund’s service providers, including Janus Capital or the subadviser (as applicable), rely, and could otherwise disrupt the ability of employees of the Fund’s service providers to perform essential tasks on behalf of the Fund.

Counterparties

Fund transactions involving a counterparty are subject to the risk that the counterparty or a third party will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund (“counterparty risk”). Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition (i.e., financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency), market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether foreseen or not. A counterparty’s inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant financial loss to the Fund. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited recovery, and/or recovery may be delayed. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to counterparty risk with respect to financial assets and liabilities approximates its carrying value. See the "Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" section of this Note for further details.

The Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk through participation in various programs, including, but not limited to, lending its securities to third parties, cash sweep arrangements whereby the Fund’s cash balance is invested in one or more types of cash management vehicles, as well as investments in, but not limited to, repurchase agreements, debt securities, and derivatives, including various types of swaps, futures and options. The Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that Janus Capital believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. There is always the risk that Janus Capital’s analysis of a counterparty’s creditworthiness is incorrect or may change due to market conditions. To the extent that the Fund focuses its transactions with a limited number of counterparties, it will have greater exposure to the risks associated with one or more counterparties.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

The Fund presents gross and net information about transactions that are either offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement with a designated counterparty, regardless of whether the transactions are actually offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.


Janus Investment Fund	29

contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, in the event of a default and/or termination event, the Fund may offset with each counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment.

The following tables present gross amounts of recognized assets and/or liabilities and the net amounts after deducting collateral that has been pledged by counterparties or has been pledged to counterparties (if applicable). For corresponding information grouped by type of instrument, see the “Fair Value of Derivative Instruments (not accounted for as hedging instruments) as of March 31, 2020” table located in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

(b)	Collateral pledged is limited to the net outstanding amount due to/from an individual counterparty. The actual collateral amounts pledged may exceed these amounts and may fluctuate in value.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association acts as securities lending agent and a limited purpose custodian or subcustodian to receive and disburse cash balances and cash collateral, hold short-term investments, hold collateral, and perform other custodial functions in accordance with the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset financial instruments’ payables and receivables and related collateral on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities on loan will be continuously secured by collateral which may consist of cash, U.S. Government securities, domestic and foreign short-term debt instruments, letters of credit, time deposits, repurchase agreements, money market mutual funds or other money market accounts, or such other collateral as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). See “Securities Lending” in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for additional information.

The Fund may require the counterparty to pledge securities as collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) if the Fund has a net aggregate unrealized gain on OTC derivative contracts with a particular counterparty. The Fund may deposit cash as collateral with the counterparty and/or custodian daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) if the Fund has a net aggregate unrealized loss on OTC derivative contracts with a particular counterparty. The collateral amounts are subject to minimum exposure requirements and initial margin requirements. Collateral amounts are monitored and subsequently adjusted up or down as valuations fluctuate by at least the minimum exposure requirement. Collateral may reduce the risk of loss.

Real Estate Investing

bonds, preferred stocks, and other equity securities, including, but not limited to, mortgage-backed securities, real estate-backed securities, securities of REITs and similar REIT-like entities. A REIT is a trust that invests in real estate-related projects, such as properties, mortgage loans, and construction loans. REITs are generally categorized as equity, mortgage, or hybrid REITs. A REIT may be listed on an exchange or traded OTC.

Securities Lending

Under procedures adopted by the Trustees, the Fund may seek to earn additional income by lending securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. Effective December 16, 2019, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association replaced Deutsche Bank AG as securities lending agent for the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association acts as securities lending agent and a limited purpose custodian or subcustodian to receive and disburse cash balances and cash collateral, hold short-term investments, hold collateral, and perform other custodial functions in accordance with the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement. The Fund may lend fund securities in an amount equal to up to 1/3 of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination. There is the risk of delay in recovering a loaned security or the risk of loss in collateral rights if the borrower fails financially. In addition, Janus Capital makes efforts to balance the benefits and risks from granting such loans. All loans will be continuously secured by collateral which may consist of cash, U.S. Government securities, domestic and foreign short-term debt instruments, letters of credit, time deposits, repurchase agreements, money market mutual funds or other money market accounts, or such other collateral as permitted by the SEC. If the Fund is unable to recover a security on loan, the Fund may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Fund. In certain circumstances individual loan transactions could yield negative returns.

Upon receipt of cash collateral, Janus Capital may invest it in affiliated or non-affiliated cash management vehicles, whether registered or unregistered entities, as permitted by the 1940 Act and rules promulgated thereunder. Janus Capital currently intends to primarily invest the cash collateral in a cash management vehicle for which Janus Capital serves as investment adviser, Janus Henderson Cash Collateral Fund LLC. An investment in Janus Henderson Cash Collateral Fund LLC is generally subject to the same risks that shareholders experience when investing in similarly structured vehicles, such as the potential for significant fluctuations in assets as a result of the purchase and redemption activity of the securities lending program, a decline in the value of the collateral, and possible liquidity issues. Such risks may delay the return of the cash collateral and cause the Fund to violate its agreement to return the cash collateral to a borrower in a timely manner. As adviser to the Fund and Janus Henderson Cash Collateral Fund LLC, Janus Capital has an inherent conflict of interest as a result of its fiduciary duties to both the Fund and Janus Henderson Cash Collateral Fund LLC. Additionally, Janus Capital receives an investment advisory fee of 0.05% for managing Janus Henderson Cash Collateral Fund LLC, but it may not receive a fee for managing certain other affiliated cash management vehicles in which the Fund may invest, and therefore may have an incentive to allocate preferred investment opportunities to investment vehicles for which it is receiving a fee.

The value of the collateral must be at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities that are denominated in U.S. dollars and 105% of the market value of the loaned securities that are not denominated in U.S. dollars. Loaned securities and related collateral are marked-to-market each business day based upon the market value of the loaned securities at the close of business, employing the most recent available pricing information. Collateral levels are then adjusted based on this mark-to-market evaluation.

The cash collateral invested by Janus Capital is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments (if applicable).

Income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the lending agent are included as “Affiliated securities lending income, net” on the Statement of Operations. As of March 31, 2020, securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings with an overnight and continuous contractual maturity are $17,052,161. Gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending (collateral received) as of March 31, 2020 is $17,520,725, resulting in the net amount due to the counterparty of $468,564.

The calculation of the performance adjustment applies as follows:

Investment Advisory Fee = Base Fee Rate +/- Performance Adjustment

Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund or reimburse expenses in an amount equal to the amount, if any, that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses, including the investment advisory fee, but excluding any performance adjustments to management fees (if applicable), the fees payable pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 plan, shareholder servicing fees, such as transfer agency fees (including out-of-pocket costs), administrative services fees and any networking/omnibus/administrative fees payable by any share class, brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, exceed the annual rate of 0.83% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Janus Capital has agreed to continue the waivers for at least a one-year period commencing January 28, 2020. If applicable, amounts waived and/or reimbursed to the Fund by Janus Capital are disclosed as “Excess Expense Reimbursement and Waivers” on the Statement of Operations.

Effective July 1, 2019, the Board of Trustees of Janus Investment Fund approved a new administrative fee rate for Class D Shares detailed in the table below.


Average Daily Net Assets of Class D Shares of the Janus Henderson funds	Administrative Services Fee
Under $40 billion	0.12%
$40 billion – $49.9 billion	0.10%

The Fund’s actual Class D administrative fee rate was 0.12% for the reporting period.

Janus Services is compensated for its services related to the Fund’s Class D Shares. These amounts are disclosed as “Other transfer agent fees and expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Under a distribution and shareholder servicing plan (the “Plan”) adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays the Trust’s distributor, Janus Henderson Distributors, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, a fee for the sale and distribution and/or shareholder servicing of the Shares at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Class A Shares’ average daily net assets, of up to 1.00% of the Class C Shares’ average daily net assets, of up to 0.50% of the Class R Shares' average daily net assets, and of up to 0.25% of the Class S Shares’ average daily net assets. Under the terms of the Plan, the Trust is authorized to make payments to Janus Henderson Distributors for remittance to retirement plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial intermediaries, as compensation for distribution and/or shareholder services performed by such entities for their customers who are investors in the Fund. These amounts are disclosed as “12b-1 Distribution and shareholder servicing fees” on the Statement of Operations. Payments under the Plan are not tied exclusively to actual 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses, and the payments may exceed 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses actually incurred. If any of the Fund’s actual 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses incurred during a calendar year are less than the payments made during a calendar year, the Fund will be refunded the difference. Refunds, if any, are included in “12b-1 Distribution and shareholder servicing fees” in the Statement of Operations.

administration fees” on the Statement of Operations. In addition, some expenses related to compensation payable to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer and certain compliance staff, all of whom are employees of Janus Capital and/or its affiliates, are shared with the Fund. Total compensation of $232,673 was paid to the Chief Compliance Officer and certain compliance staff by the Trust during the period ended March 31, 2020. The Fund's portion is reported as part of “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Pursuant to the provisions of the 1940 Act and related rules, the Fund may participate in an affiliated or non-affiliated cash sweep program. In the cash sweep program, uninvested cash balances of the Fund may be used to purchase shares of affiliated or non-affiliated money market funds or cash management pooled investment vehicles that operate as money market funds. The Fund is eligible to participate in the cash sweep program (the “Investing Funds”). As adviser, Janus Capital has an inherent conflict of interest because of its fiduciary duties to the affiliated money market funds or cash management pooled investment vehicles and the Investing Funds. Janus Henderson Cash Liquidity Fund LLC (the “Sweep Vehicle”) is an affiliated unregistered cash management pooled investment vehicle that invests primarily in highly-rated short-term fixed-income securities. The Sweep Vehicle operates pursuant to the provisions of the 1940 Act that govern the operation of money market funds and prices its shares at NAV reflecting market-based values of its portfolio securities (i.e., a “floating” NAV) rounded to the fourth decimal place (e.g., $1.0000). The Sweep Vehicle is permitted to impose a liquidity fee (of up to 2%) on redemptions from the Sweep Vehicle or a redemption gate that temporarily suspends redemptions from the Sweep Vehicle for up to 10 business days during a 90 day period. There are no restrictions on the Fund's ability to withdraw investments from the Sweep Vehicle at will, and there are no unfunded capital commitments due from the Fund to the Sweep Vehicle. The Sweep Vehicle does not charge any management fee, sales charge or service fee.

FUND SNAPSHOT

The Janus Henderson Emerging Markets Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The investment team employs both a “top-down” and “bottom-up” approach to select investments for the Fund. The top-down approach involves a macro analysis of factors that include an issuer’s economic growth profile, the stages of a country’s development, and trends in a country’s governance and regulatory framework. The bottom-up analysis focuses on fundamental research and considers, among other factors, a company’s valuation, growth potential, competitive positioning, projected future earnings, cash flows, governance, and dividends.

Daniel J. Graña

Portfolio manager

PERFORMANCE

The Janus Henderson Emerging Markets Fund’s Class I shares returned -15.18% for the six-month period ended March 31, 2020. The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index^SM, returned -14.55%.

INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT

Emerging market (EM) equities sold off during the latter part of the period as investors reacted to an unprecedented curtailment of economic activity in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. EM stocks only slightly underperformed developed markets, buoyed by China, which was viewed as being further along the path toward recovery. Commodities-driven economies fared poorly, as did countries already on fragile economic footing. Technology stocks registered some of the smallest declines as these companies’ products helped populations navigate disruption in their daily lives. Health care was the lone sector to generate positive returns. Cyclical stocks registered some of the most pronounced drawdowns.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The dramatic events of the past few months lent credence to our belief that one is best served by viewing emerging markets through the lenses of country risk, corporate fundamentals and governance. We don’t disaggregate country risk from currency risk, and our reasoning for this approach has been on display during the COVID-19 outbreak. With investors shunning riskier assets, global bond markets seized up, forcing fixed income investors to hedge their holdings by shorting local currencies. This placed acute pressure on countries dependent upon capital inflows to fund current account deficits as the risk of capital flight increased.

This dynamic aggravated the challenging environment brought on by the rare occurrence of simultaneous supply and demand shocks. Countries already on tenuous economic footing were most vulnerable to these threats. Brazil had only been emerging from recession when confronted by this crisis. With demand for its commodities exports – chief among them, oil – slashed, efforts to maintain economic growth were overwhelmed. Consequently, many of the period’s top individual detractors were Brazilian entities, among them Petrobras, Banco Bradesco and IRB-Brasil Resseguros.

Conversely, some EM countries were better positioned to absorb the shock. Asian countries that experienced 2003’s SARS outbreak initiated a more effective response to COVID-19. Investors perceived these efforts as placing these economies on a faster track toward recovery. China, which was forced into action early and has a system of governance that allowed for sweeping containment efforts, is largely viewed as nearing the end of the tunnel. Accordingly, several Chinese companies were leading contributors for the period.

Some of these stocks’ resilience can be linked to the role they have played in helping China navigate the crisis. Tencent – the period’s top relative contributor – benefited not only from homebound citizens increasing their time spent gaming but also by the dominant position of its WeChat messaging platform. Another contributor, Beijing Tiantan Biological, was boosted by hopes that its products may be part of the solution to contain future COVID-19 outbreaks. Another contributor was China Lesso, the largest plastic pipe and fittings producer in China. We see catalysts in the form of continued balance sheet deleveraging and a ramp up of dividend payments.

OUTLOOK

For years, growth in emerging markets was defined by the drive toward globalization and the benefits it bestowed upon export-based economies. With the greatest incremental contribution from globalization likely behind us, emerging economies must rely upon new sources to expand gross domestic product. Several countries with large domestic markets have achieved a level of wealth where consumption is becoming a greater contributor to growth. Complementing this – and on display during the virus outbreak – is the growing role technology plays in economic activity. China has been a leader in e-commerce and social media engagement, but we expect future innovation will emerge from more value-added intellectual property as the country adopts cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

In the wake of the crisis, we expect to see a push for diversifying supply chains. Corporations were already revisiting their reliance upon individual suppliers and countries due to last year’s trade war, and we expect these initiatives to accelerate. Anecdotally, in conversations with management teams, we are hearing stories of companies establishing additional channels for key production inputs and end products.

We also expect the crisis to be a catalyst for wider adoption of digital platforms. Several cohorts that had yet to fully engage e-commerce and social media had no choice but to do so during the pandemic. We also believe investment in digital infrastructure in finance, industry and other sectors will become national priorities. An area where we see considerable promise is digital payments. And it’s not just in China but increasingly in Africa and the Middle East.

Still, we see near-term risks ahead. We believe that neither Indonesia nor India – with their large migrant workforces and ill-equipped public health systems – are well prepared to handle a surge in COVID-19 cases. When applying our portfolio lenses, we see other challenges. Countries with large current account deficits and foreign-denominated debt may continue to be at risk of capital flight. On the corporate level, highly leveraged companies should continue to be avoided. On governance, the nature of this crisis has led to calls for companies to commit to “national service.” While these endeavors have their place, we worry that such initiatives can run contrary to the interest of minority shareholders.

Thank you for your investment in the Janus Henderson Emerging Markets Fund.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Janus Henderson Emerging Markets Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of Janus Investment Fund (the “Trust”), which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company, and therefore has applied the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946. The Trust offers 46 funds, each of which offers multiple share classes, with differing investment objectives and policies. The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund is classified as diversified, as defined in the 1940 Act.

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Fund acquired all the assets and liabilities of the Henderson Emerging Markets Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), a series of Henderson Global Funds, in exchange for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class N Fund shares having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the aggregate net assets of the same share class of the Predecessor Fund (except that Class R6 Predecessor Fund shares were exchanged for Class N Fund shares) (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization occurred at the close of business on June 2, 2017.

The Predecessor Fund and the Fund had identical investment objectives and substantially similar investment policies and principal risks. For financial reporting purposes, the Predecessor Fund’s financial and performance history prior to the Reorganization is carried forward and reflected in the Fund’s financial highlights.

The last fiscal year end of the Predecessor Fund was July 31, 2016. The Fund's last fiscal year end was July 31, 2017. Subsequent to July 31, 2017, the Fund changed its fiscal year end to September 30, 2017, to reflect the fiscal year end of certain funds of the Trust.

Class C Shares are offered through financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, traditional brokerage platforms, mutual fund wrap fee programs, and bank trust platforms.

3. Investment Advisory Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund pays Janus Capital an investment advisory fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly. The following table reflects the Fund’s contractual investment advisory fee rate (expressed as an annual rate).

The Fund’s actual investment advisory fee rate for the reporting period was 1.00% of average annual net assets before any applicable waivers.

Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund or reimburse expenses in an amount equal to the amount, if any, that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses, including the investment advisory fee, but excluding the fees payable pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 plan, shareholder servicing fees, such as transfer agency fees (including out-of-pocket costs), administrative services fees and any networking/omnibus/administrative fees payable by any share class, brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, exceed the annual rate of 1.03% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Janus Capital has agreed to continue the waivers for at least a one-year period commencing January 28, 2020. If applicable, amounts waived and/or reimbursed to the Fund by Janus Capital are disclosed as “Excess Expense Reimbursement and Waivers” on the Statement of Operations.

Effective July 1, 2019, the Board of Trustees of Janus Investment Fund approved a new administrative fee rate for Class D Shares detailed in the table below.


Average Daily Net Assets of Class D Shares of the Janus Henderson funds	Administrative Services Fee
Under $40 billion	0.12%
$40 billion – $49.9 billion	0.10%
Over $49.9 billion	0.08%

The Fund’s actual Class D administrative fee rate was 0.12% for the reporting period.

Under a distribution and shareholder servicing plan (the “Plan”) adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays the Trust’s distributor, Janus Henderson Distributors, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, a fee for the sale and distribution and/or shareholder servicing of the Shares at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Class A Shares’ average daily net assets, of up to 1.00% of the Class C Shares’ average daily net assets and of up to 0.25% of the Class S Shares’ average daily net assets. Under the terms of the Plan, the Trust is authorized to make payments to Janus Henderson Distributors for remittance to retirement plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial intermediaries, as compensation for distribution and/or shareholder services performed by such entities for their customers who are investors in the Fund. These amounts are disclosed as “12b-1 Distribution and shareholder servicing fees” on the Statement of Operations. Payments under the Plan are not tied exclusively to actual 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses, and the payments may exceed 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses actually incurred. If any of the Fund’s actual 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses incurred during a calendar year are less than the payments made during a calendar year, the Fund will be refunded the difference. Refunds, if any, are included in “12b-1 Distribution and shareholder servicing fees” in the Statement of Operations.

FUND SNAPSHOT

We believe investing in companies with sustainable growth and high return on invested capital can drive consistent returns and allow us to outperform our benchmark and peers over time with moderate risk. We seek to identify mid-cap companies with high-quality management teams that wisely allocate capital to fund and drive growth over time.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

The Janus Henderson Enterprise Fund’s Class I Shares returned -19.55% over the six-month period ended March 31, 2020. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap^{^®} Growth Index, returned -13.50%.

INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT

Equities generated strong gains in late 2019. A benign interest rate environment, progress in U.S.-China trade relations and a strong consumer provided a positive backdrop for U.S. equities. However, U.S. stocks faced an unprecedented sell-off in 2020, with speed and magnitude of historic proportions. The exogenous shock of the COVID-19 coronavirus ushered in a period of severe economic uncertainty and market volatility as governments around the world restricted travel, business and social activity to help contain the virus. Contributing to the malaise was a collapse in oil prices when a virus-related drop in demand was met by a flood of supply after OPEC and Russia failed to agree on production cutbacks. Central bank and government stimulus action was swift and aggressive. The Federal Reserve (Fed) cut policy rates to zero, committed to open-ended quantitative easing and introduced programs to support bond market liquidity while Congress approved over $2 trillion in crisis support to consumers and small and large businesses. The historic March market decline erased earlier market gains, and stocks ended the six-month period sharply lower.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, due largely to weak stock selection in several sectors, including information technology and health care. We are disappointed that our disciplined investment approach and our focus on resilient business models did not better insulate our performance from recent market volatility. In part this was due to the unique nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has impacted certain sectors and companies that usually would be shielded from the effects of a traditional economic downturn. Our relative performance was also hindered by our cautious approach to higher-valuation, higher-risk stocks in sectors such as biotechnology and Software as a Service. We have believed for some time that these companies, many of which remain unprofitable, were trading at unsustainably high valuations. Yet these momentum-driven stocks outperformed, not only in the fourth quarter of 2019 but even through the sharp market sell-off in February and March of 2020, a development we would not have expected in a typical recession. Some of these companies were viewed to be direct beneficiaries of the COVID-19 crisis, while others were perceived to be better suited to an increasingly virtual economy. While we appreciate the fundamental outlook for many of these businesses, we continue to believe their valuations are unsustainable.

The steep drop in the price of oil also hurt stock performance for several holdings. These included Magellan Midstream, which owns and operates pipelines that transport crude oil and finished fuels to end markets in the U.S. We like Magellan because in our view its business is much more sensitive to historically stable crude volumes than to historically volatile crude prices. However, a severe and unprecedented drop in miles driven slashed fuel demand, as stay-at-home directives have kept cars off the roads. Despite near-term uncertainty for Magellan’s business, we believe miles driven will eventually normalize, and we have confidence that the company’s strong balance sheet and take-or-pay contracts will help it navigate this period of near-term uncertainty. We continue to hold the position.

Lower oil prices also pressured the stock of payment processing company WEX. This company markets fuel payment cards that trucking companies can use to manage fuel expenses. Returns on this business have been squeezed by lower fuel prices. Additionally, the company is acquiring a travel processing business that


Janus Investment Fund	1

Janus Henderson Enterprise Fund (unaudited)(closed to certain new investors)

now faces near-term uncertainty due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions. As a result, the stock declined.

Positive contributors included companies that either operate in a more virtual arena or have subscription-based business models and recurring revenue streams. NICE Systems provides technology solutions enabling businesses to improve customer service, fight fraud and ensure compliance. In our view, NICE is well positioned to help businesses use software and data analytics to virtualize business operations while its solid recurring revenues may cushion near-term financial performance.

Recurring revenues also benefited long-term holding Crown Castle, another top contributor. Crown Castle owns cell phone towers where telecommunication carriers house their equipment. The demand for bandwidth and rollout of advanced 4G and 5G communications is increasing investment in telecommunications infrastructure, supporting Crown Castle’s business.

DERIVATIVES USE

To the extent we invest in foreign holdings, we may use forward exchange contracts to hedge the foreign currency. During the period, our aggregate derivative positions contributed to relative results. (Please see “Notes to Financial Statements” for information about the derivatives used by the Fund.)

OUTLOOK

Looking ahead, we caution that markets could remain volatile as investors try to assess the likely progression and severity of the pandemic and associated economic fallout as well as the ability of governments and health systems to cope. While we are aware of near-term risks, we believe our competitive advantage lies in our low portfolio turnover and our long-term time horizon. We remain focused on identifying companies we believe will thrive over a three- to five-year period, well beyond this crisis, and are on the lookout for new investment opportunities this volatility may create.

At the same time, we recognize the near-term challenges many companies face, and we have redoubled our efforts to stress test our investments. Our aim is to maximize potential return while minimizing risk across several vectors, including the durability of balance sheets and the resilience of financial performance and business operations. We are also considering how suited business models might be to what the economy may look like on the other end of this crisis. We are looking for companies that are tennis balls and not eggs — meaning they can bounce back from adversity due to strength in their business models, balance sheets and competitive advantages. This is the best path we see to pursue long-term risk-adjusted returns for our investors.

	Relative contribution reflects how the portolio's holdings impacted return relative to the benchmark. Cash and securities not held in the portfolio are not shown. For equity portfolios, relative contribution compares the performance of a security in the portfolio to the benchmark's total return, factoring in the difference in weight of that security in the benchmark. Returns are calculated using daily returns and previous day ending weights rolled up by ticker, excluding fixed income securities, gross of advisory fees, may exclude certain derivatives and will differ from actual performance. Performance attribution reflects returns gross of advisory fees and may differ from actual returns as they are based on end of day holdings. Attribution is calculated by geometrically linking daily returns for the portfolio and index.
*	Based on sector classification according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”) codes, which are the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.

securities underlying those derivatives. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than otherwise would be the case. Derivatives can be volatile and may involve significant risks.

In pursuit of its investment objective, the Fund may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease exposure to the following market risk factors:

· Counterparty Risk – the risk that the counterparty (the party on the other side of the transaction) on a derivative transaction will be unable to honor its financial obligation to the Fund.

· Credit Risk – the risk an issuer will be unable to make principal and interest payments when due, or will default on its obligations.

· Currency Risk – the risk that changes in the exchange rate between currencies will adversely affect the value (in U.S. dollar terms) of an investment.

· Equity Risk – the risk related to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

· Interest Rate Risk – the risk that the value of fixed-income securities will generally decline as prevailing interest rates rise, which may cause the Fund’s NAV to likewise decrease.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

A forward foreign currency exchange contract (“forward currency contract”) is an obligation to buy or sell a specified currency at a future date at a negotiated rate (which may be U.S. dollars or a foreign currency). The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts for hedging purposes, including, but not limited to, reducing exposure to changes in foreign

Janus Henderson Enterprise Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

currency exchange rates on foreign portfolio holdings and locking in the U.S. dollar cost of firm purchase and sale commitments for securities denominated in or exposed to foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest in forward currency contracts for non-hedging purposes such as seeking to enhance returns. The Fund is subject to currency risk and counterparty risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective through its investments in forward currency contracts.

Forward currency contracts are valued by converting the foreign value to U.S. dollars by using the current spot U.S. dollar exchange rate and/or forward rate for that currency. Exchange and forward rates as of the close of the NYSE shall be used to value the forward currency contracts. The unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) for forward currency contracts is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations for the change in unrealized net appreciation/depreciation (if applicable). 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 forward currency contract is reported on the Statement of Operations (if applicable).

During the period, the Fund entered into forward currency contracts with the obligation to sell foreign currencies in the future at an agreed upon rate in order to decrease exposure to currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated securities held by the Fund.

the European markets may also be heightened due to the referendum in which the United Kingdom voted to exit the EU (commonly known as “Brexit”). The United Kingdom formally left the EU on January 31, 2020 and entered into an eleven-month transition period, during which the United Kingdom will remain subject to EU laws and regulations. There is considerable uncertainty relating to the potential consequences of the United Kingdom’s exit and how negotiations for new trade agreements will be conducted or concluded.

Counterparties

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and forward foreign currency exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, in the event of a default and/or termination event, the Fund may offset with each counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment.

(b)	Collateral pledged is limited to the net outstanding amount due to/from an individual counterparty. The actual collateral amounts pledged may exceed these amounts and may fluctuate in value.

The Fund generally does not exchange collateral on its forward foreign currency contracts with its counterparties; however, all liquid securities and restricted cash are considered to cover in an amount at all times equal to or greater than the Fund’s commitment with respect to these contracts. Certain securities may be segregated at the Fund’s custodian. These segregated securities are denoted on the accompanying Schedule of Investments and are evaluated daily to ensure their cover and/or market value equals or exceeds the Fund’s corresponding forward foreign currency exchange contract's obligation value.

The Fund pays Janus Capital an investment advisory fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly. The Fund’s contractual investment advisory fee rate (expressed as an annual rate) is 0.64% of its average daily net assets.

Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund or reimburse expenses in an amount equal to the amount, if any, that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses, including the investment advisory fee, but excluding the fees payable pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 plan, shareholder servicing fees, such as transfer agency fees (including out-of-pocket costs), administrative services fees and any networking/omnibus/administrative fees payable by any share class, brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, exceed the annual rate of 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Janus Capital has agreed to continue the waivers for at least a one-year period commencing January 28, 2020. The previous expense limit (until February 1, 2020) was 0.87%. If applicable, amounts waived and/or reimbursed to the Fund by Janus Capital are disclosed as “Excess Expense Reimbursement and Waivers” on the Statement of Operations.

Under a distribution and shareholder servicing plan (the “Plan”) adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays the Trust’s distributor, Janus Henderson Distributors, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, a fee for the sale and distribution and/or shareholder servicing of the Shares at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Class A Shares’ average daily net assets, of up to 1.00% of the Class C Shares’ average daily net assets, of up to 0.50% of the Class R Shares' average daily net assets, and of up to 0.25% of the Class S Shares’ average daily net assets. Under the terms of the Plan, the Trust is authorized to make payments to Janus Henderson Distributors for remittance to retirement plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial intermediaries, as compensation for distribution and/or shareholder services performed by such entities for their customers who are investors in the Fund. These amounts are disclosed as “12b-1 Distribution and shareholder servicing fees” on the Statement of Operations. Payments under the Plan are not tied exclusively to actual 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses, and the payments may exceed 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses actually incurred. If any of the Fund’s actual 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses incurred during a calendar year are less than the payments made during a calendar year, the Fund will be refunded the difference. Refunds, if any, are included in “12b-1 Distribution and shareholder servicing fees” in the Statement of Operations.

FUND SNAPSHOT

The Janus Henderson European Focus Fund is a regional equity fund that seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation primarily through investment in European companies. Management applies a high-conviction approach, with a focus on opportunities that offer material upside potential, regardless of style.

Robert Schramm-Fuchs

Portfolio manager

PERFORMANCE

The Janus Henderson European Focus Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Europe Index^SM, over the six-month period ended March 31, 2020. The Fund’s Class I Shares returned -5.06% while the MSCI Europe Index returned -17.64%.

INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT

There were two very distinct periods for markets over the reporting period. The fourth quarter of 2019 saw markets continue to rally as trade discussions moved in the right direction, the UK general election result was perceived as market friendly and we saw further upward-inflecting economic lead indicators pointing toward a steadily improving economy. By contrast, the first quarter of 2020 went down as one of the worst quarters for global equities in recorded history. Breakneck volatility characterized financial markets. The Euro Stoxx 50 Index sold off by 30% to begin March, but then rebounded by 19% from trough to peak. Extreme volatility generally was aggravated by forced liquidation of excess leverage: leveraged corporates and leveraged funds found themselves in the crosshairs.

The banking system, courtesy of much tougher regulation since the Global Financial Crisis, seemed better prepared than usual. That preparation included the forced “postponement” or cancellation of dividends. Shareholders in banks were now relegated further down the pecking order, more than a decade after what many saw as the bailout of “greedy bankers” at the expense of the wider workforce. It is the latter that governments were desperate to be seen to protect this time around. Governments decided that it was time to try – emphasis on “try” – to favor labor over capital. They knew they would be judged on this as well as on how effectively they protected their voters’ health. The era of big government arrived.

Together with extraordinary monetary and fiscal stimulus, this should mean an intact transmission mechanism so that credit and liquidity remain available in this recession. While this cannot reduce the severity of the economic crash in the very near term, it at least should significantly shorten its duration.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

On a sector allocation basis, our underweight position in European banks was beneficial to relative returns. European banks’ share count, in our view, will remain fixed at the current level except for niche, highly levered investment banking and asset management performance-fee-reliant business models. Even so, we feel the sharply rising credit spreads will weigh on earnings. Return on tangible equity (ROTE) remains in the low- to mid-single digits, thus below the cost of equity. Strategically, we feel while they may bounce, there is still no fundamental long-term investment case in European banks. Our underweight to the defensive health care sector detracted from relative returns. Our underweights in financials and energy contributed.

The majority of the relative return, however, was driven by standalone stocks, namely VAT Group AG (a Switzerland-based producer of semiconductor vacuum valves), STMicroelectronics (a French-Italian multinational semiconductor manufacturer), Barry Callebaut (a high-quality chocolate producer) and Givaudan (a Swiss manufacturer of flavors, fragrances and active cosmetic ingredients). These names generally are known for their defensive qualities and are names we were adding to in January/February when cyclicals ran ahead of defensives and amid a slowly improving macro picture. In late March we believed the inverse largely was true and sought entry points into quality early-cycle names. As always, balance sheet and management strength are key criteria for us when analyzing opportunities. We are not willing to enter binary bets, as a significant number of companies will need to shore up their cash and equity ratios. For this reason we used Barry Callebaut, Givaudan and multinational food and drink processing conglomerate

Nestlé as sources of capital in the latter part of the reporting period, with small trims.

The top individual detractor to the Fund’s performance was Danone, a French multinational food-products corporation, whose earnings dipped early in the period after falling yogurt sales and a decline in its bottled-water business. We exited the position over the period. Other standalone stocks that hurt relative returns were Mowi (a Norwegian seafood company), Wizz Air (a Hungarian airline) and Rheinmetall AG (a Germany-based defense contractor). Over the period we trimmed our positions in Mowi and Wizz Air and exited our position in Rheinmetall.

We deployed capital into China-consumer-facing names under our “always looking good” theme. Namely, we bought a French luxury goods company and a German shoe and athletic apparel company as high-quality bounce-back candidates that primarily are driven by the Chinese consumer. Our thinking was that China went into this crisis first and is likely to come out of it first. In our view, semiconductors are another area that could bounce back quickly. Notably, memory pricing continued going up throughout the crisis. This seemed driven by increased server capacity demand from remote working, video conferencing and data-intensive entertainment and gaming demand.

In materials where strong stock selection aided relative performance, our favorite sub-space remained the pulp, paper and packaging industry. We felt it should benefit from increasing displacement of plastics packaging as well as rising e-commerce. Supply discipline upstream was good, and wood resource and logistics remained key long-term barriers to entry, enabling higher future returns on capital. We felt this sub-sector remained well placed to spring back quickly once the COVID-19 coronavirus passes. During the quarter we added to our new holding in an Irish packaging company that sits beside our large position in Finnish paper producer UPM-Kymmene.

Despite the decline in the energy sector, we believe it is structurally challenged not just from low oil prices but also from investment needs to fund the transition to renewables. Until significant change is visible, the sector probably will suffer from higher cost of equity than the majority of the market. Unfortunately, those are often highly leveraged companies, which may compound the negative impact.

DERIVATIVES USED

Please see the Derivative Instruments section in the “Notes to Financial Statements” for a discussion of derivatives used by the Fund.

OUTLOOK

Potentially, the month of May will see pressure for hard decisions regarding the reopening of economies without risking further waves of virus spread before a vaccine is available. Politicians are likely to err on the side of caution.

True to the old adage that markets stop panicking when policy makers start panicking, the record stimulus injections have managed to stabilize markets. As usual, the largesse will take several quarters before it delivers its boost to activity levels in the real economy. For the next few months, equity markets are likely to be working on reducing volatility levels and establishing a broader base as opposed to narrow leadership. Given the forced deleveraging, very widespread investor bearishness and potentially short duration of the recession, we may already have seen the absolute price lows. Sector rotation could be quite surprising and painful. Once the stock market sniffs out the virus peak/economic lead indicator trough, the very extended elastic band of defensives over cyclicals could snap back sharply. It is usually the recession that ends the bear market, not the other way around.

	Relative contribution reflects how the portolio's holdings impacted return relative to the benchmark. Cash and securities not held in the portfolio are not shown. For equity portfolios, relative contribution compares the performance of a security in the portfolio to the benchmark's total return, factoring in the difference in weight of that security in the benchmark. Returns are calculated using daily returns and previous day ending weights rolled up by ticker, excluding fixed income securities, gross of advisory fees, may exclude certain derivatives and will differ from actual performance. Performance attribution reflects returns gross of advisory fees and may differ from actual returns as they are based on end of day holdings. Attribution is calculated by geometrically linking daily returns for the portfolio and index.

In connection with this reorganization, certain shareholders of the Predecessor Fund who held shares directly with the Predecessor Fund and not through an intermediary had the Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class I Shares, and Class N Shares of the Fund received in the reorganization automatically exchanged for Class D Shares of the Fund following the reorganization. Class A Shares and Class C Shares of the Predecessor Fund commenced operations with the Predecessor Fund’s inception on August 31, 2001.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Janus Henderson European Focus Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of Janus Investment Fund (the “Trust”), which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company, and therefore has applied the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946. The Trust offers 46 funds, each of which offers multiple share classes, with differing investment objectives and policies. The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation primarily through investment in equities of European companies. The Fund is classified as diversified, as defined in the 1940 Act.

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Fund acquired all the assets and liabilities of the Henderson European Focus Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), a series of Henderson Global Funds, in exchange for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class N Fund shares having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the aggregate net assets of the same share class of the Predecessor Fund (except that Class R6 Predecessor Fund shares were exchanged for Class N Fund shares) (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization occurred at the close of business on June 2, 2017.

Class C Shares are offered through financial intermediary platforms including, but not limited to, traditional brokerage platforms, mutual fund wrap fee programs, and bank trust platforms.

(to earn income and seek to enhance returns). When the Fund invests in a derivative for speculative purposes, the Fund will be fully exposed to the risks of loss of that derivative, which may sometimes be greater than the derivative’s cost. The Fund may not use any derivative to gain exposure to an asset or class of assets that it would be prohibited by its investment restrictions from purchasing directly. The Fund’s ability to use derivative instruments may also be limited by tax considerations.

In pursuit of its investment objective, the Fund may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease exposure to the following market risk factors:

· Counterparty Risk – the risk that the counterparty (the party on the other side of the transaction) on a derivative transaction will be unable to honor its financial obligation to the Fund.

· Credit Risk – the risk an issuer will be unable to make principal and interest payments when due, or will default on its obligations.

· Currency Risk – the risk that changes in the exchange rate between currencies will adversely affect the value (in U.S. dollar terms) of an investment.

· Equity Risk – the risk related to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

· Interest Rate Risk – the risk that the value of fixed-income securities will generally decline as prevailing interest rates rise, which may cause the Fund’s NAV to likewise decrease.

cover in an amount at all times equal to or greater than the Fund’s commitment with respect to certain exchange-traded derivatives, centrally cleared derivatives, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, short sales, and/or securities with extended settlement dates. There is no guarantee that counterparty exposure is reduced and these arrangements are dependent on Janus Capital's ability to establish and maintain appropriate systems and trading.

Options Contracts

An options contract provides the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a financial instrument at an agreed upon price on or before a specified date. The purchaser pays a premium to the seller for this right. The seller has the corresponding obligation to sell or buy a financial instrument if the purchaser (owner) "exercises" the option. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon expiration, or closing of the option transaction, a realized gain or loss is reported on the Statement of Operations (if applicable). The difference between the premium paid/received and the market value of the option is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported on the Statement of Operations (if applicable). Option contracts are typically valued using an approved vendor’s option valuation model. To the extent reliable market quotations are available, option contracts are valued using market quotations. In cases when an approved vendor cannot provide coverage for an option and there is no reliable market quotation, a broker quotation or an internal valuation using the Black-Scholes model, the Cox-Rubinstein Binomial Option Pricing Model, or other appropriate option pricing model is used. Certain options contracts are marked-to-market daily, and the daily variation margin is recorded as a receivable or payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Variation margin receivable” or “Variation margin payable” (if applicable).

The Fund may purchase put options to hedge against a decline in the value of its portfolio. By using put options in this way, the Fund will reduce any profit it might otherwise have realized in the underlying security by the amount of the premium paid for the put option and by transaction costs. The Fund may purchase call options to hedge against an increase in the price of securities that it may buy in the future. The premium paid for the call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund. The risk in buying options is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the options are exercised. Options purchased are reported in the Schedule of Investments (if applicable).

During the period, the Fund purchased call options on various equity index securities for the purpose of increasing exposure to broad equity risk.

During the period, the Fund purchased put options on various equity index securities for the purpose of decreasing exposure to broad equity risk.

During the period, the Fund purchased put options on foreign exchange rates vs. the U.S. dollar in order to decrease foreign currency exposure and increase U.S. dollar exposure where decreasing this exposure via the options market was most attractive.

Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Options written, at value” (if applicable). The risk in writing call options is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the options are exercised. The risk in writing put options is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the options are exercised. The risk in buying options is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the options are exercised. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund buying or selling a security at a price different from the current market value.

During the period, the Fund wrote put options on various equity securities for the purpose of increasing exposure to individual equity risk and/or generating income.

During the period, the Fund wrote call options on various equity indices for the purpose of decreasing exposure to broad equity risk.

(b)	Collateral pledged is limited to the net outstanding amount due to/from an individual counterparty. The actual collateral amounts pledged may exceed these amounts and may fluctuate in value.

Securities Lending

Under procedures adopted by the Trustees, the Fund may seek to earn additional income by lending securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. Effective December 16, 2019, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association replaced Deutsche Bank AG as securities lending agent for the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association acts as securities lending agent and a limited purpose custodian or subcustodian to receive and disburse cash balances and cash collateral, hold short-term investments, hold collateral, and perform other custodial functions in accordance with the Non-Custodial Securities Lending Agreement. The Fund may lend fund securities in an amount equal to up to 1/3 of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination. There is the risk of delay in recovering a loaned security or the risk of loss in collateral rights if the borrower fails financially. In addition, Janus Capital makes efforts to balance the benefits and risks from granting such loans. All loans will be continuously secured by collateral which may consist of cash, U.S. Government securities, domestic and foreign short-term debt instruments, letters of credit, time deposits, repurchase agreements, money market mutual funds or other money market accounts, or such other collateral as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). If the Fund is unable to recover a security on loan, the Fund may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Fund. In certain circumstances individual loan transactions could yield negative returns.

The cash collateral invested by Janus Capital is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments (if applicable). Income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the lending agent are included as “Affiliated securities lending income, net” on the Statement of Operations.

There were no securities on loan as of March 31, 2020.

Janus Capital has agreed to continue the waivers for at least a one-year period commencing January 28, 2020. If applicable, amounts waived and/or reimbursed to the Fund by Janus Capital are disclosed as “Excess Expense Reimbursement and Waivers” on the Statement of Operations.

Over $49.9 billion	0.08%

The Fund’s actual Class D administrative fee rate was 0.12% for the reporting period.

Janus Services is compensated for its services related to the Fund’s Class D Shares. These amounts are disclosed as “Other transfer agent fees and expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Under a distribution and shareholder servicing plan (the “Plan”) adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays the Trust’s distributor, Janus Henderson Distributors, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, a fee for the sale and distribution and/or shareholder servicing of the Shares at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Class A Shares’ average daily net assets, of up to 1.00% of the Class C Shares’ average daily net assets and of up to 0.25% of the Class S Shares’ average daily net assets. Under the terms of the Plan, the Trust is authorized to make payments to Janus Henderson Distributors for remittance to retirement plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial intermediaries, as compensation for distribution and/or shareholder services performed by such entities for their customers who are investors in the Fund. These amounts are disclosed as “12b-1 Distribution and shareholder servicing fees” on the Statement of Operations. Payments under the Plan are not tied exclusively to actual 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses, and the payments may exceed 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses actually incurred. If any of the Fund’s actual 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses incurred during a calendar year are less than the payments made during a calendar year, the Fund will be refunded the difference. Refunds, if any, are included in “12b-1 Distribution and shareholder servicing fees” in the Statement of Operations.

FUND SNAPSHOT

We believe that constructing a concentrated portfolio of quality growth companies will allow us to outperform our benchmark over time. We define quality as companies that enjoy sustainable “moats” around their businesses, potentially allowing them to grow faster, with higher returns, than their competitors. We believe the market often underestimates these companies’ sustainable competitive advantage periods.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2020, Janus Henderson Forty Fund’s Class I Shares returned -5.44% versus a return of -4.98% for the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Russell 1000^{^®} Growth Index. The Fund’s secondary benchmark, the S&P 500^{^®} Index, returned -12.31% for the period.

INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT

Equities generated strong gains in late 2019. A benign interest rate environment, progress in U.S.-China trade relations and a strong consumer provided a positive backdrop for U.S. equities. However, U.S. stocks faced an unprecedented sell-off in 2020, with speed and magnitude of historic proportions. The Russell 1000 Growth Index declined sharply as the COVID-19 coronavirus spread globally, first disrupting supply chains and then causing a global demand shock, which dramatically slowed economic activity. Energy markets already reeling from a sharp downturn in demand were further depressed when Saudi Arabia and Russia engaged in an oil market-share war. The Federal Reserve (Fed) cut the federal funds rate swiftly to 0%, where it will likely remain for an extended period, and injected much-needed liquidity into markets. Congress also quickly passed an initial round of fiscal stimulus in an attempt to blunt the fallout, which has already resulted in record unemployment filings.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

As part of our investment strategy, we seek companies that have built clear, sustainable competitive moats around their businesses, which should help them grow market share within their respective industries over time. Important competitive advantages could include a strong brand, network effects from a product or service that would be hard for a competitor to replicate, a lower cost structure than competitors in the industry, a distribution advantage or patent protection over valuable intellectual property. We think emphasizing these sustainable competitive advantages can be a meaningful driver of outperformance over longer time horizons because the market often underestimates the duration of growth for these companies and the long-term potential return to shareholders.

Some of our holdings were negatively impacted during the period. Holdings that do not typically exhibit economic cyclicality experienced unexpected weakness. Boston Scientific, a cardiovascular-focused medical device company, suffered as surgeries were pushed back to accommodate COVID-19 patients at medical facilities. Procedures like heart surgery are not seen as elective, but many operations have been delayed in the near term.

Disney was particularly hard hit as a result of social distancing measures. Amusement parks have been shuttered and sporting events canceled, slashing advertising revenue for ESPN and sports-related ABC broadcasts. With theaters closed, Disney’s new movie releases will go directly to the consumer, with no theatrical release. The Disney+ streaming platform, however, has likely seen strong global customer subscriber enrollment as it benefits from the current shelter-in-place environment.

Apple warned that it expects to fall short of near-term earnings due to supply and demand issues resulting from the outbreak. Factories in China that manufacture components for Apple’s products have resumed operations but are ramping up more slowly than expected, impacting the iPhone business globally. We believe that demand will be pushed out to the second and third quarters of 2020 and therefore maintain a positive outlook for Apple.

While markets were down significantly and our holdings were not immune to the downdraft, some of our holdings were positive relative contributors to performance for a number of reasons. One was our exposure to one of the

longest-running themes in the strategy: increased digitization across all segments of the economy. We believe that broad worldwide quarantines have likely accelerated that trend in the long term while at the same time benefiting specific companies in the short term.

We also believe that globalization is beginning to unravel as countries begin to trust each other less, tighten their borders, move supply chains closer to home, in-source critical components of their economies and trade on a more regional level. These factors will have broad and lasting implications on the market. We believe we have minimal exposure and have positioned for this theme since we first saw it emerge with the U.S.-China trade war.

Netflix has been a clear beneficiary of shelter in place orders, with a fairly low-priced product that has seen a spike in demand amid social distancing. Netflix’s business model also benefited relative to its competition due to its ad-free structure. As business activity slowed and advertising decreased, competitors more reliant on advertising revenue were impacted.

For Amazon, almost every business line benefited from the disrupted environment. E-commerce (traditional and Whole Foods) benefited from increased deliveries. Amazon’s extensive and sophisticated direct-to-consumer distribution network and Prime Video streaming were welcomed by consumers in this environment. Amazon Web Services (AWS) also benefited from an accelerated transition to the cloud driven by the need to provide knowledge workers remote access to corporate information technology (IT) applications.

We believe some behavioral changes made during the pandemic, like online shopping, grocery delivery and cloud-based access to corporate IT will be long-lasting rather than transitory. Behaviors adopted now may stay entrenched as businesses also build customer loyalty by providing coveted services amid a difficult environment.

Adobe was another top relative contributor. The company benefited during a volatile environment as more people were forced to work from home yet continued to rely on its cloud-based software. Also, its direct-to-consumer business model, less reliant on a traditional sales force, allowed it to continue to sell its software despite widespread travel restrictions. We continue to believe in the long-term outlook for the company as its Creative Cloud product is a near monopoly that we believe still has a long growth runway from new users and pricing. We also believe the market underappreciates the long-term potential for margin expansion.

OUTLOOK

We are now in a recession as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The global economy has been put into a near-total shutdown with cautious optimism that it can be turned back on once the spread of the virus is contained. However, the ripple effects of the shutdown are still unknown and likely widespread.

While some industries may experience demand delays for products and services, others may experience demand destruction. Small businesses, especially those associated with social engagement like bars and restaurants, will be at risk. Just as the technology sector and the housing market were among the last to recover after the dot-com bubble and Global Financial Crisis (GFC), we believe travel and hospitality-related industries will be slow to recover after this crisis.

Thus far, stimulus measures have been enormous and will likely continue, and the response has been swifter than that associated with the GFC. As a result, we believe that budget deficits will increase and tax receipts on all levels of government will be lower, necessitating an extended period of very low interest rates. We believe these factors could create a supportive environment for equities once there is some confidence in where corporate cash flows stabilize.

Against this backdrop, we believe that our holdings continue to be well positioned. We remain focused on companies that generate significant free cash flow, with solid balance sheets and strong business models. We are confident that the companies we own have durable competitive advantages and, therefore, can gain market share at all points in the market cycle, including in recessions, by investing in their businesses as their competitors are pulling back. As in previous downturns, during this dramatically volatile environment, we will continue to work to upgrade our holdings as valuations have reached more attractive levels.

Thank you for your investment in Janus Henderson Forty Fund.

Dividends and Distributions

The Fund generally declares and distributes dividends of net investment income and realized capital gains (if any) annually. The Fund may treat a portion of the amount paid to redeem shares as a distribution of investment company taxable income and realized capital gains that are reflected in the net asset value. This practice, commonly referred to as “equalization,” has no effect on the redeeming shareholder or a Fund’s total return, but may reduce the amounts that would otherwise be required to be paid as taxable dividends to the remaining shareholders. It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) could challenge the Fund's equalization methodology or calculations, and any such challenge could result in additional tax, interest, or penalties to be paid by the Fund.

Janus Henderson Forty Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Collateral Fund LLC is generally subject to the same risks that shareholders experience when investing in similarly structured vehicles, such as the potential for significant fluctuations in assets as a result of the purchase and redemption activity of the securities lending program, a decline in the value of the collateral, and possible liquidity issues. Such risks may delay the return of the cash collateral and cause the Fund to violate its agreement to return the cash collateral to a borrower in a timely manner. As adviser to the Fund and Janus Henderson Cash Collateral Fund LLC, Janus Capital has an inherent conflict of interest as a result of its fiduciary duties to both the Fund and Janus Henderson Cash Collateral Fund LLC. Additionally, Janus Capital receives an investment advisory fee of 0.05% for managing Janus Henderson Cash Collateral Fund LLC, but it may not receive a fee for managing certain other affiliated cash management vehicles in which the Fund may invest, and therefore may have an incentive to allocate preferred investment opportunities to investment vehicles for which it is receiving a fee.

The cash collateral invested by Janus Capital is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments (if applicable).

Income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the lending agent are included as “Affiliated securities lending income, net” on the Statement of Operations. As of March 31, 2020, securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings with an overnight and continuous contractual maturity are $116,545,251. Gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending (collateral received) as of March 31, 2020 is $119,253,781, resulting in the net amount due to the counterparty of $2,708,530.

3. Investment Advisory Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The calculation of the performance adjustment applies as follows:

Investment Advisory Fee = Base Fee Rate +/- Performance Adjustment

The Fund’s prospectus and statement(s) of additional information contain additional information about performance-based fees. The amount shown as advisory fees on the Statement of Operations reflects the Base Fee Rate plus/minus any Performance Adjustment. For the period ended March 31, 2020, the performance adjusted investment advisory fee rate before any waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses is 0.67%.

administrative services fees and any networking/omnibus/administrative fees payable by any share class, brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, exceed the annual rate of 0.77% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Janus Capital has agreed to continue the waivers for at least a one-year period commencing January 28, 2020. If applicable, amounts waived and/or reimbursed to the Fund by Janus Capital are disclosed as “Excess Expense Reimbursement and Waivers” on the Statement of Operations.

Effective July 1, 2019, the Board of Trustees of Janus Investment Fund approved a new administrative fee rate for Class D Shares detailed in the table below.


Average Daily Net Assets of Class D Shares of the Janus Henderson funds	Administrative Services Fee
Under $40 billion	0.12%
$40 billion – $49.9 billion	0.10%
Over $49.9 billion	0.08%

The Fund’s actual Class D administrative fee rate was 0.12% for the reporting period.

Janus Services receives an administrative services fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares for providing or procuring administrative services to investors in Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares of the Fund. Janus Services expects to use all or a significant portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial intermediaries for providing these services. Janus Services or its affiliates may also pay fees for services provided by intermediaries to the extent the fees charged by intermediaries exceed the 0.25% of net assets charged to Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares of the Fund. Janus Services may keep certain amounts retained for reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs incurred for servicing clients of Class R Shares, Class S Shares and Class T Shares. These amounts are disclosed as “Transfer agent administrative fees and expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Janus Services is compensated for its services related to the Fund’s Class D Shares. These amounts are disclosed as “Other transfer agent fees and expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Under a distribution and shareholder servicing plan (the “Plan”) adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays the Trust’s distributor, Janus Henderson Distributors, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, a fee for the sale and distribution and/or shareholder servicing of the Shares at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Class A Shares’ average daily net assets, of up to 1.00% of the Class C Shares’ average daily net assets, of up to 0.50% of the Class R Shares' average daily net assets, and of up to 0.25% of the Class S Shares’ average daily net assets. Under the terms of the Plan, the Trust is authorized to make payments to Janus Henderson Distributors for remittance to retirement plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial intermediaries, as compensation for distribution and/or shareholder services performed by such entities for their customers who are investors in the Fund. These amounts are disclosed as “12b-1 Distribution and shareholder servicing fees” on the Statement of Operations. Payments under the Plan are not tied exclusively to actual 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses, and the payments may exceed 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses actually incurred. If any of the Fund’s actual 12b-1 distribution and shareholder service expenses incurred during a calendar year are less than the payments made during a calendar year, the Fund will be refunded the difference. Refunds, if any, are included in “12b-1 Distribution and shareholder servicing fees” in the Statement of Operations.

funds or cash management pooled investment vehicles and the Investing Funds. Janus Henderson Cash Liquidity Fund LLC (the “Sweep Vehicle”) is an affiliated unregistered cash management pooled investment vehicle that invests primarily in highly-rated short-term fixed-income securities. The Sweep Vehicle operates pursuant to the provisions of the 1940 Act that govern the operation of money market funds and prices its shares at NAV reflecting market-based values of its portfolio securities (i.e., a “floating” NAV) rounded to the fourth decimal place (e.g., $1.0000). The Sweep Vehicle is permitted to impose a liquidity fee (of up to 2%) on redemptions from the Sweep Vehicle or a redemption gate that temporarily suspends redemptions from the Sweep Vehicle for up to 10 business days during a 90 day period. There are no restrictions on the Fund's ability to withdraw investments from the Sweep Vehicle at will, and there are no unfunded capital commitments due from the Fund to the Sweep Vehicle. The Sweep Vehicle does not charge any management fee, sales charge or service fee.

A contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% will be deducted with respect to Class A Shares purchased without a sales load and redeemed within 12 months of purchase, unless waived. Any applicable CDSC will be 1.00% of the lesser of the original purchase price or the value of the redemption of the Class A Shares redeemed. During the period ended March 31, 2020, redeeming shareholders of Class A Shares paid CDSCs of $66 to Janus Henderson Distributors.

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities (“cross-trade”) between itself and other funds or accounts managed by Janus Capital in accordance with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Rule 17a-7”), when the transaction is consistent with the investment objectives and policies of the Fund and in accordance with the Internal Cross Trade Procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. These procedures have been designed to ensure that any cross-trade of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or account that is or could be considered an affiliate of the Fund under certain limited circumstances by virtue of having a common investment adviser, common Officer, or common Trustee complies with Rule 17a-7. Under these procedures, each cross-trade is effected at the current market price to save costs where allowed. During the period ended March 31, 2020, the Fund engaged in cross trades amounting to $17,720,435 in sales, resulting in a net realized loss of $8,645,490. The net realized loss is included within the “Net Realized Gain/(Loss) on Investments” section of the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

	Relative contribution reflects how the portolio's holdings impacted return relative to the benchmark. Cash and securities not held in the portfolio are not shown. For equity portfolios, relative contribution compares the performance of a security in the portfolio to the benchmark's total return, factoring in the difference in weight of that security in the benchmark. Returns are calculated using daily returns and previous day ending weights rolled up by ticker, excluding fixed income securities, gross of advisory fees, may exclude certain derivatives and will differ from actual performance. Performance attribution reflects returns gross of advisory fees and may differ from actual returns as they are based on end of day holdings. Attribution is calculated by geometrically linking daily returns for the portfolio and index.
