March 16, 2017 JANUS INVESTMENT FUND Janus Global Real Estate Fund 151 Detroit Street Denver, Colorado 80206 SUPPLEMENT TO THE JOINT PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE JOINT SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON April 6, 2017

The following information supplements and amends the joint proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) of Janus Investment Fund (the “Trust”) for Janus Global Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) furnished to shareholders of the Fund in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) for the joint Special Meeting of Shareholders, which will be held at the JW Marriott Hotel, 150 Clayton Lane, Denver, Colorado 80206, on April 6, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time, or at such later time as may be necessary due to adjournments or postponements thereof (the “Meeting”). Any shareholder of record who owned shares of the Fund as of the close of business on December 29, 2016 (the “Record Date”) will receive notice of the Meeting and will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. This supplement to the Proxy Statement (this “Supplement”) is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2017. Capitalized terms used in this Supplement and not otherwise defined have the meaning given to such terms in the Proxy Statement. The purpose of this Supplement is to provide supplemental information regarding revisions to Proposal No. 3 in the Proxy Statement with respect to the Fund. Except as described in this Supplement, the information provided in the Proxy Statement continues to apply and should be considered in voting your shares. To the extent that information in this Supplement differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information in this Supplement is more current and updates the information contained in the Proxy Statement. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROXY STATEMENT. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE AND AMENDMENT OF PROPOSAL 3 – TO APPROVE A SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ADVISER AND HENDERSON INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LIMITED (“HIML”) The Proxy Statement stated that if the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement was approved, HIML would become the Fund’s subadviser upon the Closing of the Transaction and would be responsible for the day-to-day management of a portion of the investment portfolio of the Fund subject to the general oversight of Janus Capital, and Janus Capital would continue to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the remaining portion of the investment portfolio of the Fund. The Adviser has continued to evaluate its capabilities and the enhanced capabilities of Janus Henderson upon the closing of the Transaction. With respect to the Fund, the Adviser has determined that it would be in the best interest of the Fund for HIML, if approved as sub-adviser, to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the entire investment portfolio of the Fund, pursuant to a revised sub-advisory agreement (the “Revised HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement”). As discussed below, the only change reflected in the Revised HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement is a change in the fee rate payable. 1

Portfolio Managers. Guy Barnard, Co-Head of HIML’s Global Property Equities Team, and Tim Gibson, Co-Head of HIML’s Global Property Equities Team would serve as portfolio managers of the Fund. Guy Barnard joined Henderson in 2006 as an analyst with the Property Equities team. He became a Fund Manager in 2008, deputy head of Global Property Equities in 2012, and Co-Head of Global Property Equities in 2014. Mr. Barnard began his career within the Financial Control function at UBS where he spent three years. Mr. Barnard holds a First Class BSc (Hons) degree in Mathematics and Management from Loughborough University and holds the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. Tim Gibson joined Henderson in 2011 as Co-Head of Global Property Equities. Before joining Henderson, Mr. Gibson was a European fund manager at AMP Capital Brookfield, responsible for portfolio construction and execution of an indirect real estate fund. Prior to this, Mr. Gibson was an analyst for Morgan Stanley in their European Real Estate Investment Team, in London and Amsterdam. Mr. Gibson holds an MA (Hons) in Economics from St Andrews University, Scotland, and received the Robert Trent Jones Scholarship to the University of Western Ontario, Canada. Sub-Advisory Fee. Under the Revised HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser will pay HIML a sub-advisory fee out of the investment advisory fee it receives from the Fund. The sub-advisory fee will be equal to 50% of the investment advisory fee paid by the Fund to the Adviser (plus or minus any performance fee adjustment, and net of reimbursement of expenses incurred or fees waived by the Adviser, or any recoupment of such reimbursement or fee reduction, which shall be shared equally between the Adviser and HIML) pursuant to the New Advisory Agreement. As a result, the sub-advisory fee paid by the Adviser to HIML will adjust up or down based on the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark index over the performance measurement period. There will be no change to the advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser in connection with the appointment of HIML as sub-adviser. For additional information regarding the advisory fee paid by the Fund to the Adviser see Appendix C to the Proxy Statement. Board Approval. The Board evaluated the proposal by Janus Capital that if the Revised HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement is approved by Fund shareholders, HIML will become the Fund’s sub-adviser upon the Closing of the Transaction and will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the entire investment portfolio of the Fund subject to the general oversight of Janus Capital. The Board considered the information it had considered and the factors it had analyzed in originally considering the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement, as set forth under the heading “Board Considerations—HIML Sub-Advisory Agreements” in the Proxy Statement. The Board also considered the manner in which HIML would manage the Fund’s entire portfolio, and the potential for increased portfolio turnover costs. The Board concluded that such factors supported the appointment of HIML to manage the Fund’s entire investment portfolio. The Board also considered that the sub-advisory fee rate payable to HIML under the Revised HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement would increase the fee from one-third to 50%, noting that this fee rate was consistent with fee rates payable to other sub-advisers in the Janus Funds Complex who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the entire investment portfolio of a fund. Accordingly, on March 14, 2017, the Board voted unanimously to approve the Revised HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement for HIML to manage the entire investment portfolio of the Fund. Shareholder Approval To become effective, the Revised HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement must be approved by a 1940 Act Majority (as defined in the Proxy Statement) of the Fund, with all classes of shares voting together as a single class. For purposes of determining the approval of the Revised HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as shares voted against the proposal. The Revised HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement will only take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is conditioned upon obtaining the approval of new investment advisory agreements by shareholders of Janus funds representing a specified percentage of assets under management. If the Revised HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement has not been approved prior to the Closing of the Transaction, Janus Capital will continue to manage the Fund under a New Investment Advisory Agreement or Interim Advisory Agreement, as described in Proposal 1 in the Proxy Statement.

January 20, 2017 Dear Shareholder: Recently, Janus Capital Group Inc. (“Janus”), the parent company of Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus Capital”), your fund’s investment adviser, and Henderson Group plc (“Henderson”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which Janus and Henderson have agreed to effect an all-stock merger of equals strategic combination of their respective businesses, with Janus Capital surviving the merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Henderson (the “Transaction”). Subject to certain conditions, the Transaction is currently expected to close during the second quarter of 2017. The closing may be deemed to cause an “assignment” of the current advisory agreements between Janus Capital and the Janus mutual funds, and any sub-advisory agreements entered into by Janus Capital, which would cause such agreements to terminate. In order to provide continuity of advisory services for your fund after the closing of the Transaction, the Board of Trustees for your fund is requesting that you vote on proposals (i) to approve a new investment advisory agreement between Janus Capital and your fund to permit Janus Capital to continue to serve as investment adviser to the fund following the Transaction; and (ii) to the extent applicable to your fund, to approve a new investment sub-advisory agreement between Janus Capital and your fund’s current sub-adviser to permit such sub-adviser to continue to manage the fund following the Transaction. In addition, for Janus Asia Equity Fund and Janus Global Real Estate Fund, the Board of Trustees is requesting that you vote on a proposal to approve a new sub-advisory agreement between Janus Capital and Henderson Investment Management Limited, a subsidiary of Henderson, to become effective upon the closing of the Transaction. The Board of Trustees is also requesting that you vote on a proposal to elect an additional trustee to serve on the Board of Trustees, to take effect upon the closing of the Transaction. Finally, the Board of Trustees is also requesting that you vote on a proposal to authorize Janus Capital to enter into and materially amend sub-advisory agreements in the future with wholly-owned sub-advisers and unaffiliated sub-advisers, with the approval of the Board of Trustees, but without obtaining additional shareholder approval. This proposal is presented for approval by those funds that do not already provide this flexibility to Janus Capital. The proposals will be presented to shareholders at a joint Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 6, 2017. The proposals are briefly summarized in the synopsis that precedes the enclosed joint proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”). The Proxy Statement includes a detailed discussion of the proposals, which you should read carefully. The Board of Trustees unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the proposal(s) applicable to their fund. You can vote in one of four ways: • • • •

By Internet through the website listed in the proxy voting instructions; By telephone by calling the toll-free number listed on your proxy card(s) and following the recorded instructions; By mail with the enclosed proxy card(s); or In person at the Special Meeting of Shareholders on April 6, 2017.

Your vote is important, so please read the enclosed Proxy Statement carefully and submit your vote. If you have any questions about the proposals, please call the proxy solicitor, Computershare Fund Services, at 1-866-492-0863. Thank you for your consideration of the proposals.

SYNOPSIS The following synopsis is a brief overview of the matters to be voted on at the joint Special Meeting of the Shareholders of the Janus funds listed in the enclosed joint proxy statement (“Proxy Statement”), or at any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Meeting”). This synopsis is qualified in its entirety by the remainder of this Proxy Statement. The Proxy Statement contains more detailed information about each proposal, and we encourage you to read it in its entirety before voting. Q: What is happening? A:

Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus Capital” or the “Adviser”) is a direct subsidiary of Janus Capital Group Inc. (“Janus”), a publicly traded company with principal operations in financial asset management businesses and approximately $198.9 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2016. Recently, Janus and Henderson Group plc (“Henderson”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Janus and Henderson have agreed to effect an all-stock merger of equals strategic combination of their respective businesses, with Janus surviving the merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Henderson (the “Transaction”). Henderson is an independent global asset management business founded in 1934 with approximately $131.2 billion in assets under management, as of September 30, 2016. The Transaction will be effected via a share exchange with each share of Janus common stock exchanged for 4.7190 newly issued ordinary shares in Henderson. Based on the current number of shares outstanding, upon closing of the Transaction, Henderson and Janus shareholders are expected to own approximately 57% and 43%, respectively, of the ordinary shares of the combined company, which will be renamed Janus Henderson Global Investors plc (“Janus Henderson”). In addition, each Fund’s name will change to reflect “Janus Henderson” as part of the Fund’s name. Your Fund’s investment adviser will not change, but will be a subsidiary of Janus Henderson following the completion of the Transaction. Janus Henderson will have approximately $326 billion in assets under management and a combined market capitalization of $5.75 billion. Janus expects that the combination of these two complementary businesses will create a leading global active asset manager with significant scale, diverse products and investment strategies, and depth and breadth in global distribution, resulting in an organization that will be well-positioned to provide world-class client service. Completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the receipt of certain third party consents, including approval of new investment advisory agreements by shareholders of Janus Capital-advised U.S. registered investment companies, including the Funds, representing at least 67.5% of the aggregate assets under management of the Janus Capital-advised U.S. registered investment companies. Janus and Henderson currently expect to complete the Transaction during the second quarter of 2017. Shareholders of the Janus funds listed in the enclosed Proxy Statement (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) are not being asked to vote on the Transaction. Rather, shareholders of the Funds are being asked to vote on one or more proposals that are being presented to them as a result of the Transaction. The Closing may be deemed to cause an “assignment” of each Fund’s current investment advisory agreement with Janus Capital, which would cause such agreement to terminate. Similarly, for those Funds with a sub-advisory agreement with INTECH Investment Management LLC (“INTECH”), Perkins Investment Management LLC (“Perkins”) or Janus Capital Singapore Pte. Limited (“Janus Singapore”), the Closing may be deemed to cause an “assignment” of each such Fund’s existing sub-advisory agreement, which would cause such agreement to terminate. Janus Capital recommended, and the Board of Trustees (the “Board,” the “Board of Trustees,” or the “Trustees”) of Janus Investment Fund (the “Trust”) has approved, and recommends that shareholders of each Fund approve, a new investment advisory agreement between their Fund and Janus Capital, and a new sub-advisory agreement between Janus Capital and INTECH, Perkins, or Janus Singapore, as applicable, in order for Janus Capital and each current sub-adviser to continue to provide advisory services to each Fund following the Transaction. Each of these proposed agreements will have substantially similar terms as the corresponding current agreement. Contingent upon the closing of the Transaction, shareholders of Janus Asia Equity Fund are being asked to approve a sub-advisory agreement between Janus Capital and Henderson Investment Management Limited (“HIML”), a subsidiary of Henderson. If approved, HIML would replace Janus Singapore as sub-adviser to Janus Asia Equity Fund following the Closing of the Transaction. If the Closing does not occur, Janus Singapore would continue to serve as sub-adviser to Janus Asia Equity Fund. Contingent upon the closing of the Transaction, shareholders of Janus Global Real Estate Fund are being asked to approve a sub-advisory agreement between Janus Capital and HIML. If approved, HIML would become the sub-adviser to Janus i

Global Real Estate Fund and would be responsible for the day-to-day management of a portion of the investment portfolio of Janus Global Real Estate Fund following the Closing of the Transaction, subject to the oversight of Janus Capital. Janus Capital would continue to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the remaining portion of the investment operations of Janus Global Real Estate Fund. If the Closing does not occur, Janus Capital would continue to manage the entire portfolio of Janus Global Real Estate Fund. The Board of Trustees is requesting that shareholders elect an additional Trustee, Diane L. Wallace (the “Trustee Nominee”). Shareholders are also being asked to consider a proposal to implement a “manager-of-managers” structure in order to provide Janus Capital with greater flexibility with respect to the appointment of sub-advisers in the future. Each of these proposals is discussed further below. Not all of these proposals impact all Funds. Please refer to the table at the end of this synopsis as a reference for which proposal(s) applies to you. Q: How will I as a Fund shareholder be affected by the Transaction? A:

Your Fund investment will not change as a result of the Transaction. You will still own the same Fund shares and the underlying value of those shares will not change as a result of the Transaction. The Adviser, and, if applicable, your Fund’s sub-adviser, will continue to manage your Fund according to the same objectives and policies as before and do not anticipate any significant changes to your Fund, except as described in Proposal 3 with respect to Janus Asia Equity Fund and Janus Global Real Estate Fund. The proposal to engage HIML as sub-adviser for Janus Asia Equity Fund and Janus Global Real Estate Fund, are not anticipated to result in changes to the Fund’s investment objective, policies or restrictions; however, HIML may determine to purchase and sell certain securities of these Funds which may result in Janus Asia Equity Fund and/or Janus Global Real Estate Fund incurring transaction costs or capital gains that otherwise may not have occured if HIML were not serving as sub-adviser.

Proposals 1, 2 and 3: Approve New Investment Advisory and Sub-advisory Agreements Q: Why am I being asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement between my Fund and Janus Capital? A:

Janus Capital currently serves as each Fund’s investment adviser. The Transaction may be deemed to cause an “assignment” of the current investment advisory agreement with your Fund, which would cause the agreement to terminate. Shareholders are being asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and their Fund to permit the Adviser to continue to serve as investment adviser to the Fund.

Q: Why am I being asked to approve a new sub-advisory agreement between Janus Capital and my Fund’s current sub-adviser? A:

For certain Funds, Janus Capital has retained INTECH, Perkins or Janus Singapore to manage the assets of the Fund. The subsidiary that serves as sub-adviser to each sub-advised Fund is identified in the enclosed Proxy Statement. The Transaction may cause the current sub-advisory agreement for your Fund to terminate. Shareholders are being asked to approve a new sub-advisory agreement between Janus Capital and their Fund’s current sub-adviser to permit such sub-adviser to continue to manage the Fund following the Closing.

Q: Will the Transaction result in any important differences between the new investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreement compared to the current agreements for my Fund? A:

No. The terms of the new agreements with the Adviser and your Fund’s current sub-adviser are substantially similar to the current agreements. There will be no change in the contractual advisory fee rate your Fund pays or the investment advisory services it receives as a result of the Transaction.

Q: What will happen if shareholders of my Fund do not approve the new investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory agreement before consummation of the Transaction? A:

Janus Capital, and if applicable, your Fund’s current sub-adviser, will continue to manage your Fund under an interim investment advisory agreement and if applicable, an interim sub-advisory agreement, but must place their compensation for their services during this interim period in escrow, pending shareholder approval of the proposed new agreement(s). The Board of Trustees urges you to vote without delay in order to avoid potential disruption to your Fund if the Adviser and any sub-adviser were unable to continue to manage the Fund. ii

Q: For shareholders of Janus Asia Equity Fund and Janus Global Real Estate Fund, why am I being asked to vote on a sub-advisory agreement with HIML? A:

The Adviser has determined that it would be in the best interest of Janus Asia Equity Fund to draw upon the resources of Janus Henderson following the closing of the Transaction. The Adviser recommended, and the Board of Trustees approved, a sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and HIML with respect to Janus Asia Equity Fund, to take effect upon the Closing of the Transaction. The sub-advisory agreement with Janus Singapore will terminate concurrently with the effectiveness of the HIML sub-advisory agreement. Andrew Gillan, Head of HIML’s Asia (ex-Japan) Equity Team and Mervyn Koh, Associate Portfolio Manager, will serve as portfolio managers of the Fund. HIML is an SEC registered investment adviser and is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Henderson and serves as investment sub-adviser to several mutual funds offered by Henderson. No changes to the investment objective, policies or restrictions of Janus Asia Equity Fund are anticipated in connection with the appointment of HIML as sub-adviser. The Adviser will pay HIML a sub-advisory fee out of the investment advisory fee it receives from the Fund. There will be no change to the advisory fee rate paid by your Fund to the Adviser in connection with the appointment of HIML as sub-adviser. The sub-advisory agreement with HIML will not take effect if the Closing does not occur. In that case, Janus Capital would continue to serve as adviser and Janus Singapore would continue to serve as sub-adviser to Janus Asia Equity Fund. The Adviser has determined that it would be in the best interest of Janus Global Real Estate Fund to draw upon the resources of Janus Henderson following the closing of the Transaction. The Adviser recommended, and the Board of Trustees approved, a sub-advisory agreement with HIML with respect to Janus Global Real Estate Fund, to take effect upon the Closing of the Transaction. HIML would be responsible for the day-to-day management of a portion of the investment portfolio of Janus Global Real Estate Fund subject to the general oversight of Janus Capital. Janus Capital would continue to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the remaining portion of the investment portfolio of Janus Global Real Estate Fund. Guy Barnard, Co-Head of HIML’s Global Property Equities Team, Tim Gibson, Co-Head of HIML’s Global Property Equities Team, and Patrick Brophy, Portfolio Manager of Janus Global Real Estate Fund for Janus Capital, would serve as portfolio managers of Janus Global Real Estate Fund. HIML is an SEC registered investment adviser and is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Henderson and serves as investment sub-adviser to several mutual funds offered by Henderson. No changes to the investment objective, policies or restrictions of Janus Global Real Estate Fund are anticipated in connection with the appointment of HIML as sub-adviser. The sub-advisory agreement with HIML will not take effect if the Closing does not occur. In that case, Janus Capital would continue to manage the entire portfolio of Janus Global Real Estate Fund as adviser. HIML is an SEC registered investment adviser and is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Henderson. As a global money manager, HIML and its affiliates (“Henderson Global Investors”) provide a full spectrum of investment products and services to institutions and individuals around the world. Henderson Global Investors has been managing assets for clients since 1934. Henderson Global Investors is a multi-skill, multi-asset management business with a worldwide distribution network. The business address of HIML is 201 Bishopsgate, London UK EC2M 3AE.

Proposal 4: Election of an Additional Trustee Q: Why am I being asked to elect an additional Trustee? A:

Currently, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has eight members, each of whom is an Independent Trustee (as described below). In connection with the Transaction, the Board has sought to increase the size of the Board to nine members and has nominated Diane L. Wallace (the “Trustee Nominee”) to stand for election as a Trustee. Ms. Wallace currently serves as a trustee of certain mutual funds advised by Henderson Global Investors (North America) Inc., a subsidiary of Henderson. Ms. Wallace was unanimously approved by the Board to stand for election, upon a recommendation from the Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee. Among other things, the Board considered Ms. Wallace’s background and experience in the financial services industry, including with the Henderson funds, and determined that the addition of Ms. Wallace to the Board would provide valuable continuity and enhance the Board’s oversight of the Funds following the completion of the Transaction. Each current Trustee and the Trustee Nominee is an Independent Trustee, meaning that each is not an “interested person” (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) of the Trust, Janus Capital, any sub-adviser, or Henderson. Information about the Trustee Nominee, including age, principal occupations during the past five years, and other information, such as the Trustee Nominee’s experience, qualifications, attributes, or skills, is set forth in this Proxy Statement. iii

Proposal 5: Approval of Manager of Managers Structure Q: Why am I being asked to vote on the Manager of Managers structure? A:

Janus Capital and the Trust obtained exemptive relief from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that provides Janus Capital with the flexibility to enter into and materially amend sub-advisory agreements in the future with wholly-owned sub-advisers and unaffiliated sub-advisers, with the approval of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, but without the costs and delays associated with holding a shareholder meeting. This is referred to as “Manager of Managers” relief. However, in order to utilize the relief, shareholders of a Fund must approve its use for their Fund. There are no proposed changes to any Fund’s existing sub-advisory arrangement at this time, except for recommending approval of HIML as sub-adviser for Janus Asia Equity Fund, replacing Janus Singapore, and adding HIML as sub-adviser for Janus Global Real Estate Fund. In the future, if Janus Capital and/or the Board determines that resources of a sub-adviser, or different sub-adviser, would be beneficial for a Fund, your approval of the Manager of Managers Proposal would allow Janus Capital to engage the sub-adviser, and change the sub-adviser, without incurring the costs related to a shareholder meeting and proxy solicitation. The appointment of the sub-adviser is subject to Board approval and you would receive notification of each such engagement.

Voting Q: How does the Board of Trustees of the Trust suggest I vote with respect to each proposal? A:

After careful consideration, the Board of Trustees of the Trust unanimously recommends that you vote FOR each proposal. Please see the section of the Proxy Statement for a discussion of the Board’s considerations in making such recommendations.

Q: Who is eligible to vote? A:

Shareholders who owned shares of a Fund and other series of the Trust at the close of business on December 29, 2016 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to be present and vote at the Meeting. Those shareholders are entitled to one vote for each whole dollar (and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional dollar) of net asset value owned on all matters presented at the Meeting regarding their Fund.

Q: How can I vote my shares? A:

You can vote in any one of four ways: • • • •

By Internet through the website listed in the proxy voting instructions; By telephone by calling the toll-free number listed on your proxy card(s) and following the recorded instructions; By mail, by sending the enclosed proxy card(s) (completed, signed and dated) in the enclosed envelope; or In person at the Meeting on April 6, 2017.

Whichever method you choose, please take the time to read the full text of the Proxy Statement before you vote. It is important that shareholders respond to ensure that there is a quorum for the Meeting. If we do not receive your response within a few weeks, you may be contacted by Computershare Fund Services (“Computershare”), the proxy solicitor engaged by Janus Capital, who will remind you to vote your shares and help you return your proxy. If a quorum is not present or sufficient votes to approve the proposals are not received by the date of the Meeting, the persons designated as proxies may adjourn the Meeting to a later date so that we can continue to seek additional votes. Q: If I send my vote in now as requested, can I change it later? A:

Yes. You may revoke your proxy vote at any time before it is voted at the Meeting by: (i) delivering a written revocation to the Secretary of the Trust; (ii) submitting a subsequently executed proxy vote; or (iii) attending the Meeting and voting in person. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, we ask that you return your proxy card(s) or vote by telephone or Internet. This will help us to ensure that an adequate number of shares are present at the Meeting for consideration of the proposals. Shareholders should send notices of revocation to Janus Investment Fund at 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206, Attn: Secretary.

iv

Q: What is the required vote to approve the proposals? A:

Approval of Proposals 1, 2, 3 and 5 with respect to each applicable Fund requires the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” as defined under the 1940 Act (such a majority referred to herein as a “1940 Act Majority”), of such Fund. A 1940 Act Majority means the lesser of the vote of (i) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund entitled to vote thereon present at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares are present in person or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of such outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote thereon. Shareholders of each applicable Fund (with all classes of shares of a Fund voting together as a single class) will vote separately on Proposals 1, 2, 3 and 5 relating to their Fund. An unfavorable vote on any proposal by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of such proposal by another Fund if the proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Fund. However, Proposals 1, 2 and 3 will only take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is conditioned upon obtaining the approval of new investment advisory agreements by shareholders of Janus funds representing a specified percentage of assets under management. For Proposal 4, the Trustee election will be determined by the affirmative vote of a plurality (the greatest number of affirmative votes) of the shares of all funds of the Trust, including all Funds listed in this Proxy Statement and certain funds of the Trust for which votes are being solicited pursuant to separate proxy statements. Proposal 4 will only take effect upon the closing of the Transaction. A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at the Meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of 30% of shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting constitutes a quorum.

Q: Who is paying the costs of this solicitation? A:

Janus Capital will pay the fees and expenses related to each proposal, including the cost of the preparation of these proxy materials and their distribution, and all other costs incurred with the solicitation of proxies, including any additional solicitation made by letter, telephone, or otherwise, and the Meeting.

Q: Whom should I call for additional information about this Proxy Statement? A:

Please call Computershare, the proxy solicitor engaged by Janus Capital, at 1-866-492-0863.

INTRODUCTION The Adviser is a direct subsidiary of Janus Capital Group Inc. (“Janus”), a publicly traded company with principal operations in financial asset management businesses and approximately $198.9 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2016. Recently, Janus and Henderson Group plc (“Henderson”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Janus and Henderson have agreed to effect an all-stock merger of equals strategic combination of their respective businesses, with Janus surviving the merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Henderson (the “Transaction”). Henderson is an independent global asset management business founded in 1934 with approximately $131.2 billion in assets under management, as of September 30, 2016. The Transaction will be effected via a share exchange with each share of Janus common stock exchanged for 4.7190 newly issued ordinary shares in Henderson. Based on the current number of shares outstanding, upon closing of the Transaction, Henderson and Janus shareholders are expected to own approximately 57% and 43%, respectively, of the ordinary shares of the combined company, which will be renamed Janus Henderson Global Investors plc (“Janus Henderson”). Janus Henderson will have approximately $326 billion in assets under management and a combined market capitalization of $5.75 billion. The name of your Fund, and most of the mutual funds offered by the Adviser, will also be renamed to reflect “Janus Henderson” in the name. Janus expects that the combination of these two complementary businesses will create a leading global active asset manager with significant scale, diverse products and investment strategies, and depth and breadth in global distribution, resulting in an organization that will be well-positioned to provide world-class client service. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, as of the effective time of the Transaction, (i) Richard M. Weil, the current Chief Executive Officer of Janus, will become a co-Chief Executive Officer of Janus Henderson and (ii) Andrew J. Formica, the current Chief Executive Officer of Henderson, will become a co-Chief Executive Officer of Janus Henderson. Janus Henderson will have a Board of Directors consisting initially of twelve directors, (i) six of whom will be persons designated by the existing Board of Directors of Henderson, and (ii) six of whom will be persons designated by the existing Board of Directors of Janus. Completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including (i) the requisite approval of the Merger Agreement by the holders of common stock of Janus; (ii) the requisite approval of the shareholders of Henderson of the Transaction and certain related matters; (iii) regulatory approvals; and (iv) receipt of certain third party consents, including approval of new investment advisory agreements by shareholders of Janus Capital-advised U.S. registered investment companies, including the Funds, representing at least 67.5% of the aggregate assets under management of the Janus Capital-advised U.S. registered investment companies. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for each of Henderson and Janus, including in the event that (i) the Transaction is not consummated on or before September 30, 2017, (ii) the approval of the Transaction by the shareholders of Henderson or the stockholders of Janus is not obtained at the respective shareholder meetings or (iii) if any restraint that prevents, makes illegal or prohibits the consummation of the Transaction shall have become final and nonappealable. In addition, Henderson and Janus can each terminate the Merger Agreement prior to the shareholder meeting of the other party if, among other things, the other party’s board of directors has changed its recommendation that its shareholders approve the Transaction, and adopt the Merger Agreement. Janus and Henderson currently expect to complete the Transaction during the second quarter of 2017. Shareholders of the Funds are being asked to consider Proposals 1-3 (approval of advisory and sub-advisory agreements) and 4 (appointment of trustee) in connection with the Transaction. These Proposals are contingent upon the Closing of the Transaction and will take effect only if the Transaction closes. Proposal 5 (manager of managers proposal) is not related to the Transaction and will take effect whether or not the Transaction closes.

PROPOSAL 1 APPROVAL OF NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (All Funds) Background Pursuant to a separate investment advisory agreement between Janus Capital and the Trust on behalf of each Fund (each a “Current Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Current Advisory Agreements”), Janus Capital serves as each Fund’s investment adviser. The date of each Fund’s Current Advisory Agreement and the date on which it was last approved by shareholders and approved for continuance by the Board are provided in Appendix B to this Proxy Statement. Each Current Advisory Agreement, as required by Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides for its automatic termination in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). The consummation of the Transaction may be deemed an “assignment” of each Current Advisory Agreement which would cause the automatic termination of each Current Advisory Agreement, as required by the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act requires that a new advisory agreement be approved by the board of trustees and the shareholders of a fund in order for it to become effective. The Proposal With respect to each Fund, shareholders of the Fund are being asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Adviser that are substantially similar to the Current Advisory Agreement to take effect immediately after the Transaction or shareholder approval, whichever is later (each, a “New Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “New Advisory Agreements”). At an in-person meeting of the Board on December 8, 2016, and for the reasons discussed below (see “Board Considerations” after Proposal 3 in this Proxy Statement), the Board, all of whom are Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Funds, the Adviser, any sub-adviser or Henderson (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the New Advisory Agreement on behalf of each Fund and unanimously recommended approval of the New Advisory Agreement by shareholders. For additional information regarding the Board’s consideration of the New Advisory Agreements, see “Board Considerations” after Proposal 3 in this Proxy Statement. The form of the New Advisory Agreement is attached hereto as Appendix N to this Proxy Statement. Comparison of Current Advisory Agreements and New Advisory Agreements The terms of each New Advisory Agreement are substantially similar to those of the Current Advisory Agreement. There is no change in the fee rate payable by each Fund to the Adviser. Changes made to the New Advisory Agreement compared to the Current Advisory Agreement include the date of expiration, and, for Funds with a performance-based investment advisory fee, changes to ensure continuity of the advisory fee based on the Fund’s historical performance, as provided for under the Current Advisory Agreement. If approved by shareholders of a Fund, the New Advisory Agreement for each Fund will have an initial term until February 1, 2018 and will continue in effect from year to year if such continuance is approved at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Below is a comparison of certain terms of the Current Advisory Agreement to the terms of the New Advisory Agreement. Investment Advisory Services. The investment advisory services to be provided by the Adviser to each Fund are the same under the Current Advisory Agreements and the New Advisory Agreements. Both the Current Advisory Agreements and New Advisory Agreements provide that the Adviser shall furnish continuous advice and recommendations to each Fund, and shall have authority to act with respect thereto, as to the acquisition, holding, or disposition of any or all of the securities or other assets which each Fund may own or contemplate acquiring from time to time. The Adviser shall give due consideration to the investment policies and restrictions and the other statements concerning each Fund in the Trust’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as then in effect, the Trust’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as then in effect, and the registration statements of the Trust, and to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable to each Fund as a regulated investment company. In addition, the Adviser shall cause its officers to attend meetings and furnish oral and written reports, as each Fund may reasonably require, in order to keep the Board and appropriate officers of each Fund and the Trust fully informed as to the condition of the investment portfolio of each Fund. The investment advisory services are expected to be provided by the same personnel of the Adviser under the New Advisory Agreements as under the Current Advisory Agreements. Janus Global Unconstrained Bond Fund and Janus Diversified Alternatives Fund each have a subsidiary to which Janus Capital provides investment advisory services (each a “Subsidiary”). Each Subsidiary has entered into a separate investment 4

advisory agreement with Janus Capital (each a “Subsidiary Advisory Agreement”). The consummation of the Transaction may be deemed an “assignment” of each Subsidiary Advisory Agreement, which would cause the automatic termination of each Subsidiary Advisory Agreement, as required by the 1940 Act. In order to permit Janus Capital to continue to serve as investment adviser to each Subsidiary following the Transaction, if the New Advisory Agreement is approved, Janus Capital will enter into a new investment advisory agreement with each Subsidiary, which will be substantially similar to the current Subsidiary Advisory Agreement. Fees. Under each Current Advisory Agreement and New Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays to the Adviser an investment advisory fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly. Each Fund’s investment advisory fee rate under the New Advisory Agreement for such Fund is identical to the investment advisory fee rate under the Current Advisory Agreement. Certain Funds pay an investment advisory fee rate that may adjust up or down based on such Fund’s performance relative to the cumulative investment record of its benchmark index over a performance measurement period. For each such Fund, the terms of such performance adjustment under the New Advisory Agreement are identical to the terms of such performance adjustment under the Current Advisory Agreement. Appendix C to this Proxy Statement sets forth the investment advisory fee rate applicable to each Fund. Appendix G to this Proxy Statement sets forth the amount of fees paid to the Adviser during each Fund’s most recently ended fiscal year. Payment of Expenses. Under each Current Advisory Agreement and the New Advisory Agreement, the Funds assume and pay all expenses incidental to their organization, operations and business not specifically assumed or agreed to be paid by the Adviser. These Fund expenses include custodian and transfer agency fees and expenses, brokerage commissions and dealer spreads, and other expenses in connection with the execution of portfolio transactions, legal and accounting expenses, interest, taxes, a portion of trade association or other investment company organization dues and expenses, registration fees, expenses of shareholders’ meetings, reports to shareholders, fees and expenses of Independent Trustees, and other costs of complying with applicable laws regulating the sales of Fund shares. The Funds, along with other Janus funds, also pay some or all of the salaries, fees, and expenses of certain Fund officers and employees of the Adviser (also sharing certain expenses and salaries for the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer and other compliance-related personnel employed by the Adviser as authorized by the Trustees from time to time). For Janus Money Market Fund and Janus Government Money Market Fund, the Adviser pays for certain of these expenses pursuant to an Administration Agreement between the Adviser and these Funds. Other Services. Under each Current Advisory Agreement and New Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is authorized, but not obligated, to perform management and administrative services necessary for the operation of each Fund. Specifically, the Adviser is authorized to conduct relations with custodians, depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys, underwriters, brokers and dealers, corporate fiduciaries, insurance company separate accounts, insurers, banks and such other persons in any such other capacity deemed by the Adviser to be necessary or desirable. The Adviser shall also generally monitor and report to the officers of the Trust regarding each Fund’s compliance with investment policies and restrictions as set forth in the currently effective prospectus and statement of additional information relating to the shares of each Fund. Additionally, the Adviser shall make reports to the Board of its performance of services upon request and furnish advice and recommendations with respect to such other aspects of the business and affairs of each Fund as it shall determine to be desirable. The Adviser is also authorized, subject to review by the Board, to furnish such other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to perform the services contemplated by the agreement. The Adviser also serves as administrator to the Funds pursuant to an Administration Agreement between Janus Capital and the Trust. See “Affiliated Service Providers, Affiliated Brokerage and Other Fees—Administrator” for additional information regarding these administrative services. Limitation on Liability. The Current Advisory Agreements and New Advisory Agreements provide that the Adviser will not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission taken with respect to a Fund, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties and except to the extent otherwise provided by law. Continuance. The Current Advisory Agreement for each Fund continues in effect for successive one-year periods after its initial term, if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (a) the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the terms of such renewal, and (b) either the Trustees of the Trust or the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The New Advisory Agreement for each Fund will have an initial term until February 1, 2018, and will continue thereafter for successive one-year periods if approved annually in the same manner required under the Current Advisory Agreement. Termination. The Current Advisory Agreement and New Advisory Agreement for each Fund provide that the agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by the Board, or by the shareholders of the Fund acting by vote of at least a 5

majority of its outstanding voting securities, provided in either case that sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of termination be given to the Adviser at its principal place of business. Further, the Current Advisory Agreement and the New Advisory Agreement may be terminated by the Adviser at any time, without penalty, by giving sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of termination to the Fund, addressed to its principal place of business. Interim Advisory Agreements In the event shareholders of a Fund do not approve the New Advisory Agreement at the Meeting prior to the closing of the Transaction, an interim investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and such Fund (each, an “Interim Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Interim Advisory Agreements”) will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction. At the December 8, 2016 meeting, the Board, all of whom are Independent Trustees, unanimously approved an Interim Advisory Agreement for each Fund in order to assure continuity of investment advisory services to the Funds after the Transaction. The terms of each Interim Advisory Agreement are substantially identical to those of the applicable Current Advisory Agreement and New Advisory Agreement, except for the term and escrow provisions described below. The Interim Advisory Agreement will continue in effect for a term ending on the earlier of 150 days from the closing of the Transaction (the “150-day period”) or when shareholders of the Fund approve the New Advisory Agreement. Pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act, compensation earned by the Adviser under an Interim Advisory Agreement will be held in an interest-bearing escrow account. If shareholders of a Fund approve the New Advisory Agreement prior to the end of the 150-day period, the amount held in the escrow account under the Interim Advisory Agreement will be paid to the Adviser. If shareholders of a Fund do not approve the New Advisory Agreement prior to the end of the 150-day period, the Board will take such action as it deems to be in the best interests of the Fund, and the Adviser will be paid the lesser of its costs incurred in performing its services under the Interim Advisory Agreement or the total amount in the escrow account, plus interest earned. Other Actions Contemplated in Connection with the Transaction Fund mergers involving certain Funds are proposed to occur at or about the time of the closing of the Transaction: Janus Forty Fund. The Board has approved a merger of Janus Twenty Fund, a series of the Trust, into Janus Forty Fund. The merger is contingent on approval by shareholders of Janus Twenty Fund, which will be solicited pursuant to a separate proxy statement/prospectus that will contain information about the proposed merger and will be sent separately to Janus Twenty Fund shareholders. The merger does not require approval of shareholders of Janus Forty Fund and shareholders of Janus Forty Fund are not being asked to vote on the merger. The merger will not result in any changes to Janus Forty Fund’s investment strategies, policies, management or contractual advisory fee rates. Janus Research Fund. The Board has approved a merger of Janus Fund, a series of the Trust, into Janus Research Fund. The merger is contingent on approval by shareholders of Janus Fund, which will be solicited pursuant to a separate proxy statement/prospectus that will contain information about the proposed merger and will be sent separately to Janus Fund shareholders. The merger does not require approval of shareholders of Janus Research Fund and shareholders of Janus Research Fund are not being asked to vote on the merger. The merger will not result in any changes to Janus Research Fund’s investment strategies, policies, management or contractual advisory fee rates. INTECH U.S. Managed Volatility Fund. The Board has approved a merger of INTECH U.S. Core Fund into INTECH U.S. Managed Volatility Fund. The merger is contingent on approval by shareholders of INTECH U.S. Core Fund, which will be solicited pursuant to a separate proxy statement/prospectus that will contain information about the proposed merger and will be sent separately to INTECH U.S. Core Fund shareholders. The merger does not require approval of shareholders of INTECH U.S. Managed Volatility Fund and shareholders of INTECH U.S. Managed Volatility Fund are not being asked to vote on the merger. The merger will not result in any changes to INTECH U.S. Managed Volatility Fund’s investment strategies, policies, management or contractual advisory fee rates. Janus Global Technology Fund. The Board has approved a merger of Henderson Global Technology Fund, a mutual fund organized as a series of Henderson Global Funds and advised by Henderson Global Investors (North America) Inc. (“HGINA”), a subsidiary of Henderson, into Janus Global Technology Fund. The merger is contingent on (i) the closing of the Transaction and (ii) approval by shareholders of Henderson Global Technology Fund. The merger does not require approval by shareholders of Janus Global Technology Fund and shareholders of Janus Global Technology Fund are not being asked to vote on the merger. The merger will not result in any changes to Janus Global Technology Fund’s investment strategies, policies, management or contractual advisory fee rates.

Certain Conditions under the 1940 Act The Board has been advised that the parties to the Merger Agreement have structured the Transaction in reliance upon Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section 15(f) provides in substance that when a sale of a controlling interest in an investment adviser occurs, the investment adviser or any of its affiliated persons may receive any amount or benefit in connection with the sale so long as two conditions are satisfied. The first condition of Section 15(f) is that, during the three-year period following the consummation of a transaction, at least 75% of the investment company’s board of directors must not be “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment adviser or predecessor adviser. The composition of the Board of the Trust currently meets this test and would continue to meet this test after the election of an additional trustee pursuant to Proposal 4. Second, an “unfair burden” (as defined in the 1940 Act, including any interpretations or no-action letters of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the staff of the SEC) must not be imposed on the investment company as a result of the transaction relating to the sale of such interest, or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. The term “unfair burden” (as defined in the 1940 Act) includes any arrangement, during the two-year period after the transaction, whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser), or any “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of such an adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its security holders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for the investment company). Under the Merger Agreement, Henderson has acknowledged Janus’s reliance upon the benefits and protections provided by Section 15(f) and has agreed not to take, and to cause its affiliates not to take, any action that would have the effect, directly or indirectly, of causing the requirements of any of the provisions of Section 15(f) not to be met in respect of the Transaction. Additional Information About the Adviser The Adviser, a registered investment adviser, is organized as a Delaware limited liability company and is a direct subsidiary of Janus. Janus is a publicly traded company with principal operations in financial asset management businesses and approximately $198.9 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2016.

Affiliated Service Providers, Affiliated Brokerage and Other Fees Administrator. Janus Capital also serves as administrator to the Funds pursuant to an Administration Agreement between Janus Capital and the Trust. Janus Capital is authorized to delegate to others to perform certain administrative and other services. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement between Janus Capital and the Trust, the non-money market Funds (except for Janus Global Allocation Fund – Conservative, Janus Global Allocation Fund – Moderate, and Janus Global Allocation Fund – Growth (together, the “Allocation Funds”)) reimburse Janus Capital for reasonable costs incurred in performing certain administrative and clerical functions. Some examples of these reimbursable expenses include net asset value determination, fund accounting, updating of the Trust’s registration statement, and supporting the Board of Trustees. Pursuant to an Administration Agreement between Janus Capital and the Trust, on behalf of the Allocation Funds, Janus Capital bears expenses not otherwise detailed in the Current Advisory Agreement and New Advisory Agreement for the Allocation Funds, that are incurred in connection with the operation of the Allocation Funds. Janus Capital does not receive compensation as administrator of the non-money market funds or the Allocation Funds. Pursuant to Administration Agreements between Janus Capital and each of Janus Government Money Market Fund and Janus Money Market Fund (together, the “Money Market Funds”), Janus Capital receives an annual administration fee at the rate of 0.46% of average net assets for Class D shares and 0.48% of average net assets for Class T shares of the Money Market Funds. Janus Capital uses this fee to pay for the Money Market Funds’ expenses such as, but not limited to, custody, transfer agency, and fund accounting services; shareholder servicing; provision of office facilities and personnel necessary to carry on the business of the Funds; recordkeeping; and preparation of prospectuses, statements of additional information, and required tax reports. The administration fee paid by Class T shares of the Money Market Funds to Janus Capital may also be used to compensate financial intermediaries who perform services on behalf of Class T shareholders. Janus Capital intends to continue to provide the same administrative services after implementation of the proposed New Advisory Agreements. Information regarding the amounts paid by the Money Market Funds to Janus Capital, as administrator, during the Funds’ last fiscal year is set forth in Appendix G to this Proxy Statement. Distributor. Janus Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”), located at 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206, a whollyowned subsidiary of the Adviser, serves as the distributor for the Funds’ shares. According to plans adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Class R Shares, Class S Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares of the Funds, the Distributor receives a 12b-1 fee from each such class of shares that is used to pay for distribution and/or shareholder services. Class A Shares and Class S Shares pay the Distributor a 12b-1 fee at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A Shares and Class S Shares. Class C Shares pay a 12b-1 fee to the Distributor of up to 1.00% (0.75% distribution fee and 0.25% shareholder services fee) of the average daily net assets of Class C Shares. Class R Shares pay a 12b-1 fee to Janus Distributors of up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R Shares. Payments are made to the Distributor, who may make ongoing payments to financial intermediaries and may retain amounts paid by the Funds. Payments under the plans are not tied exclusively to actual distribution and shareholder service expenses, and the payments may exceed distribution and shareholder service expenses actually incurred. The Distributor intends to continue to provide the same services after implementation of the proposed New Advisory Agreements. Fees paid by Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares of each Fund to the Distributor, pursuant to their respective 12b-1 plan, during the Fund’s last fiscal year is set forth in Appendix G to this Proxy Statement. Transfer Agent. Janus Services LLC (“Janus Services”), located at 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206, a whollyowned subsidiary of the Adviser, serves as each 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 non-distribution related shareholder services for the Funds. Pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement between the Trust and Janus Services, each class of shares of each Fund reimburses Janus Services for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Janus Services in connection with services rendered. In addition, Janus Services receives a shareholder servicing fee paid by Class D Shares at the annual rate of 0.12% of Class D Shares’ average daily net assets, and paid by each of Class T Shares, Class S Shares and Class R Shares at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of such share class. Such fee compensates Janus Services for providing or arranging for the provision of certain other administrative or other shareholder services. Janus Services may pass through all or a portion of the shareholder services fee received from Class T Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares to financial intermediaries. Janus Services intends to continue to provide the same services after implementation of the proposed New Advisory Agreement. Fees paid by Class D Shares, Class T Shares, Class S Shares and Class R Shares of each Fund to Janus Services during the Fund’s last fiscal year is set forth in Appendix G to this Proxy Statement. Affiliated Brokerage. No Fund paid brokerage commissions within the last fiscal year to (i) any broker that is an affiliated person of such Fund or an affiliated person of such person, or (ii) any broker an affiliated person of which is an affiliated person of such Fund, the Adviser or any Sub-Adviser of such Fund. 8

Payments to Affiliates. During each Fund’s last fiscal year, no Fund made any material payments to the Adviser or Sub-Adviser to such Fund or any affiliated person of the Adviser or Sub-Adviser to such Fund for services provided to the Fund (other than pursuant to the Current Advisory Agreement, Current Sub-Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement, or fees paid to the Distributor or Janus Services as described herein). Shareholder Approval To become effective with respect to a Fund, each New Advisory Agreement requires the affirmative vote of a 1940 Act Majority (as defined herein) of such Fund, with all classes of shares voting together as a single class. For purposes of determining the approval of the New Advisory Agreement, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as shares voted against the proposal. An unfavorable vote on the proposal to approve the New Advisory Agreement by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of the proposal by another Fund if the proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Fund. However, the New Advisory Agreement will only take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is conditioned upon obtaining the approval of new advisory agreements by shareholders of Janus funds representing a specified percentage of assets under management. In the event that the Transaction does not, for any reason, occur, each Current Advisory Agreement will continue in effect in accordance with its terms. The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders of each Fund vote FOR approval of the Fund’s New Advisory Agreement.

PROPOSAL 2 APPROVAL OF NEW INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT WITH CURRENT SUB-ADVISER (Sub-Advised Funds) Background For certain Funds, the Adviser has retained either a direct wholly-owned subsidiary, or an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus as sub-adviser to manage the assets of the Fund. Sub-Adviser INTECH

Funds INTECH Emerging Markets Managed Volatility Fund INTECH Global Income Managed Volatility Fund INTECH International Managed Volatility Fund INTECH U.S. Managed Volatility Fund (each an “INTECH Fund” and collectively, the “INTECH Funds”)

Perkins

Perkins Global Value Fund Perkins International Value Fund Perkins Large Cap Value Fund Perkins Mid Cap Value Fund Perkins Select Value Fund Perkins Small Cap Value Fund Perkins Value Plus Income Fund (each a “Perkins Fund” and collectively, the “Perkins Funds”)

Janus Singapore

Janus Asia Equity Fund

The Adviser has entered into (i) a separate investment sub-advisory agreement with INTECH with respect to each INTECH Fund (each a “Current INTECH Sub-Advisory Agreement”), (ii) a separate investment sub-advisory agreement with Perkins with respect to each Perkins Fund (each a “Current Perkins Sub-Advisory Agreement”), and (iii) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Janus Singapore with respect to Janus Asia Equity Fund (the “Current Janus Singapore Sub-Advisory Agreement”). Collectively, the Current INTECH Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Current Perkins Sub-Advisory Agreements and the Current Janus Singapore Sub-Advisory Agreement are referred to herein as the “Current Sub-Advisory Agreements” and each as a “Current Sub-Advisory Agreement.” The date of each Current Sub-Advisory Agreement and the date it was last approved by shareholders and approved for continuance by the Board are provided in Appendix D to this Proxy Statement. As with the Current Advisory Agreements, each Current Sub-Advisory Agreement, as required by Section 15 of the 1940 Act, provides for its automatic termination in the event of its assignment. Each of INTECH, Perkins and Janus Singapore, is either a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser or an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus. Therefore, the consummation of the Transaction may be deemed an “assignment” of each Current Sub-Advisory Agreement. In addition, each Current Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that it will terminate upon the termination of the Current Advisory Agreement with respect to such Fund. As a result, the consummation of the Transaction would result in the termination of each Current Sub-Advisory Agreement. The 1940 Act requires that a new sub-advisory agreement be approved by shareholders in order for it to become effective. The Proposal Shareholders of each INTECH Fund are being asked to approve a new sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and INTECH (each a “New INTECH Sub-Advisory Agreement”). Shareholders of each Perkins Fund are being asked to approve a new sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Perkins (each a “New Perkins Sub- Advisory Agreement”). Shareholders of Janus Asia Equity Fund are being asked to approve a new sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Janus Singapore (the “New Janus Singapore Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the New INTECH Sub-Advisory Agreements and New Perkins Sub-Advisory Agreements, each a “New Sub-Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “New Sub-Advisory Agreements”). Each New Sub-Advisory Agreement will be substantially similar to the Current Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund.

At the December 8, 2016 Board meeting, and for the reasons discussed below (see “Board Considerations” after Proposal 3 in this Proxy Statement), the Board, all of whom are Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of each applicable Fund and unanimously recommended approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement by shareholders. For additional information regarding the Board’s consideration of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements, see “Board Considerations” after Proposal 3 in this Proxy Statement. The form of the New INTECH Sub-Advisory Agreement is attached hereto as Appendix O to this Proxy Statement. The form of the New Perkins Sub-Advisory Agreement is attached hereto as Appendix P to this Proxy Statement. The form of the New Janus Singapore Sub-Advisory Agreement is attached hereto as Appendix Q to this Proxy Statement. Because each New Sub-Advisory Agreement, like each Current Sub-Advisory Agreement, is between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, a Fund’s New Sub-Advisory Agreement will not take effect until the New Advisory Agreement for such Fund has been approved by shareholders. For Janus Asia Equity Fund, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement will not take effect if a separate proposal to appoint a new sub-adviser is approved by shareholders. See Proposal 3, beginning at page 14. Comparison of Current Sub-Advisory Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements The terms of each New Sub-Advisory Agreement are substantially similar to those of the corresponding Current Sub-Advisory Agreement. There is no change in the fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser. If approved by shareholders of a Fund, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund will have an initial term through February 1, 2018 and will continue in effect from year to year thereafter if such continuance is approved for the Fund at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Below is a comparison of certain terms of the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements to the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements. Sub-Advisory Services. Under the terms of the agreements, the sub-advisory services provided by the Sub-Adviser to each Fund under the New Sub-Advisory Agreements and to be provided under the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements are the same. Both the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements provide that the Sub-Adviser shall manage the investment operation of the Fund and the composition of its investment portfolio, shall determine without prior consultation with the Trust or the Adviser, what securities and other assets of the Fund will be acquired, held, disposed of or loaned, and place orders or direct the Adviser to place orders, for the purchase or sale of such securities or other assets with brokers, dealers or others, all in conformity with the investment objectives, policies and restrictions and the other statements concerning the Fund in the Trust’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as then in effect, the Trust’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as then in effect, and the registration statements of the Trust, and to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable to each Fund as a regulated investment company. The Sub-Adviser shall cause its officers to attend meetings and furnish oral and written reports, as each Fund may reasonably require, in order to keep the Trustees and appropriate officers of each Fund fully informed as to the condition of the investment portfolio of each Fund. Additionally, the Sub-Adviser shall furnish reports as may be reasonably requested by the Board or the Adviser, including, but not limited to reports relating to the valuation of the Fund’s assets. Fees. Under the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements, each INTECH Fund, Perkins Fund and Janus Asia Equity Fund pays to the applicable Sub-Adviser a sub-advisory fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly. The sub-advisory fee rate under the New Sub-Advisory Agreements is identical to the sub-advisory fee rate under the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements. Certain Perkins Funds and Janus Asia Equity Fund pay a sub-advisory fee rate that may adjust up or down based on such Fund’s performance relative to the cumulative investment record of its benchmark index over a performance measurement period. For each such Fund, the terms of such performance adjustment under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement are identical to the terms of such performance adjustment under the Current Sub-Advisory Agreement. Appendix C to this Proxy Statement sets forth the sub-advisory fee rate applicable to each Fund. Appendix G to this Proxy Statement sets forth the amount of fees paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser with respect to each Fund during each Fund’s most recently ended fiscal year. Payment of Expenses. Under each Current Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser agrees to pay its own costs and expenses incurred in rendering its services. Limitation on Liability. The Current Sub-Advisory Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements provide that the Sub-Adviser will not be liable for, and the Adviser will not take any action against the Sub-Adviser to hold the Sub-Adviser liable for, any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission taken with respect to the Fund except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the agreement and except to the extent otherwise provided by law. 11

Continuance. The Current Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund continues in effect for successive one-year periods after its initial term, if such continuance is approved in the manner required by the 1940 Act. The New Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund will have an initial term until February 1, 2018, and will continue thereafter for successive one-year periods if approved annually in the same manner required under the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements. Termination. The Current INTECH Sub-Advisory Agreements and New INTECH Sub-Advisory Agreements provide that the agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by the Board, or by the shareholders of the Fund acting by vote of at least a majority of its outstanding voting securities, provided in either case that sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of termination be given to INTECH at its principal place of business. Further, the Current INTECH Sub-Advisory Agreements and New INTECH Sub-Advisory Agreements provide that the agreement may be terminated (i) by the Adviser or by INTECH at any time, without penalty, by giving sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of termination to the other party, or (ii) by the Adviser or the Trust without advance notice if INTECH becomes unable to discharge its duties and obligations under the agreement. In addition, a Fund’s Current INTECH Sub-Advisory Agreement and New INTECH Sub-Advisory Agreement shall terminate, without penalty, upon termination of the Current Advisory Agreement or New Advisory Agreement, as applicable, of such Fund. The Current Perkins Sub-Advisory Agreements and New Perkins Sub-Advisory Agreements provide that the agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by the Board, or by the shareholders of a Fund acting by vote of at least a majority of its outstanding voting securities, provided in either case that sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of termination be given to Perkins at its principal place of business. Further, the Current Perkins Sub-Advisory Agreements and New Perkins Sub-Advisory Agreements provide that the agreement may be terminated (i) by the Adviser at any time, without penalty, by giving sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of termination to Perkins; (ii) by Perkins at any time, without penalty, by giving ninety (90) days’ advance notice to the Adviser and the Trust, unless the Adviser or the Trust requests additional time to find a replacement for Perkins, in which case Perkins shall allow the additional time requested by the Adviser or the Trust not to exceed ninety (90) days’ beyond the initial 90 days’ notice period unless otherwise agreed to by the Adviser, the Trust and Perkins; or (iii) by the Adviser or the Trust without advance notice if Perkins becomes unable to discharge its duties and obligations under the agreement. In addition, a Fund’s Current Perkins Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Perkins Sub-Advisory Agreement shall terminate, without penalty, upon termination of the Current Advisory Agreement or New Advisory Agreement, as applicable, of such Fund. The Current Janus Singapore Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Janus Singapore Sub-Advisory Agreement provide that the agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by the Board, or by the shareholders of the Janus Asia Equity Fund acting by vote of at least a majority of its outstanding voting securities, provided in either case that sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of termination be given to Janus Singapore at its principal place of business. Further, the Current Janus Singapore Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Janus Singapore Sub-Advisory Agreement provide that the agreement may be terminated (i) by the Adviser at any time, without penalty, by giving sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of termination to Janus Singapore; (ii) by Janus Singapore at any time, without penalty, by giving ninety (90) days’ advance notice to the Adviser and the Trust, unless the Adviser or the Trust requests additional time to find a replacement for Janus Singapore, in which case Janus Singapore shall allow the additional time requested by the Adviser or the Trust not to exceed ninety (90) days’ beyond the initial 90 days’ notice period unless otherwise agreed to by the Adviser, the Trust and Janus Singapore; or (iii) by the Adviser or the Trust without advance notice if Janus Singapore becomes unable to discharge its duties and obligations under the agreement. In addition, the Janus Asia Equity Fund’s Current Janus Singapore Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Janus Singapore Sub-Advisory Agreement shall terminate, without penalty, upon termination of the Fund’s Current Advisory Agreement or New Advisory Agreement, as applicable. Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements In the event shareholders of a Fund do not approve such Fund’s New Advisory Agreement and/or New Sub-Advisory Agreement at the Meeting prior to the closing of the Transaction, an interim sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and the applicable Sub-Adviser (each an “Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements”) will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction. At the December 8, 2016 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved an Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement for each applicable Fund in order to assure continuity of sub-advisory services to the sub-advised Funds after the Transaction. The terms of each Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement are substantially identical to those of the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements, except for the term and escrow provisions described below. The Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement will continue in effect for a term ending on the earlier of 150 days from the closing of the Transaction (the “150-day period”) or when shareholders of a Fund approve the New Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement. Pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act, 12

compensation earned by a Sub-Adviser under an Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement will be held in an interest-bearing escrow account. If shareholders of a Fund approve the New Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement prior to the end of the 150-day period, the amount held in the escrow account under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement will be paid to the Sub-Adviser. If shareholders of a Fund do not approve the New Advisory Agreement and/or New Sub-Advisory Agreement prior to the end of the 150-day period, the Board will take such action as it deems to be in the best interests of the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser will be paid the lesser of its costs incurred in performing its services under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement or the total amount in the escrow account, plus interest earned. Information About the Sub-Advisers INTECH. INTECH serves as investment sub-adviser to the INTECH Funds, each a series of the Trust.

Additional Information. Certain information regarding the executive officers and directors of each Sub-Adviser is set forth in Appendix F to this Proxy Statement. Shareholder Approval To become effective with respect to a Fund, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement must be approved by a 1940 Act Majority (as defined herein) of the Fund, with all classes of shares voting together as a single class. For purposes of determining the approval of each New Sub-Advisory Agreement, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as shares voted against the proposal. An unfavorable vote on the proposal to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of the proposal by another Fund if the proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Fund. However, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund will only take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is conditioned upon obtaining the approval by shareholders of Janus funds representing a specified percentage of assets under management. In addition, each New Sub-Advisory Agreement will only take effect if a New Advisory Agreement for a Fund has been approved by shareholders. In the event that the Transaction does not, for any reason, occur, each Current Sub-Advisory Agreement will continue in effect in accordance with its terms. The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders of each Fund vote FOR approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for their Fund.

PROPOSAL 3 APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT WITH HENDERSON INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LIMITED (Janus Asia Equity Fund and Janus Global Real Estate Fund) Background In connection with the Transaction, the Adviser has evaluated its capabilities, the capabilities of the existing Sub-Advisers and the enhanced capabilities of Janus Henderson upon the closing of the Transaction. With respect to Janus Asia Equity Fund and Janus Global Research Fund (each, an “HIML Fund” and together, the “HIML Funds”), the Adviser determined that it would be in the best interest of the HIML Funds to draw upon the combined resources of Janus Henderson following the Transaction by appointing HIML as sub-adviser to the HIML Funds. With respect to Janus Asia Equity Fund, if approved by shareholders, HIML would become sub-adviser upon the closing of the Transaction and would replace Janus Singapore as sub-adviser to such Fund. With respect to Janus Global Real Estate Fund, HIML would become sub-adviser upon the closing of the Transaction and would be responsible for the day-to-day management of a portion of the investment operations of such Fund subject to the general oversight of Janus Capital. Janus Capital would continue to be responsible for the day-to-day management of a portion of the investment operations of Janus Global Real Estate Fund. Janus Capital believes that HIML provides seasoned resources focused on Asia equities, real estate, and expertise with non-U.S. investments that can benefit the HIML Funds. With respect to Janus Global Real Estate Fund, Janus Capital believes that such Fund will benefit from portions of the Fund’s investment operations being managed by Janus Capital and HIML, based on similarities in investment process and philosophy of the HIML and Janus Capital investment teams and the benefits of maintaining a “multi-local presence” with investment professionals in key markets, pursuant to which the Denver-based Janus Capital investment team will augment the HIML investment team that has investment professionals based in Europe, Asia and the United States. HIML is an SEC registered investment adviser and is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Henderson and serves as investment sub-adviser to several mutual funds offered by Henderson. No changes to the investment objectives, policies or restrictions of the HIML Funds are anticipated in connection with the appointment of HIML as sub-adviser. Following the appointment of HIML as sub-adviser, each Fund may experience a higher portfolio turnover rate for a period of time, as portfolio repositioning transactions are made in the discretion of the new portfolio managers. The Funds pay transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions, when buying and selling securities. A higher portfolio turnover rate may result in higher transaction costs, which affect a Fund’s performance. Portfolio turnover may also result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. The 1940 Act requires that a new sub-advisory agreement be approved by the Fund’s shareholders in order for it to become effective. The Proposal With respect to each HIML Fund, shareholders of the Fund are being asked to approve a new sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and HIML (each, a “HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “HIML Sub-Advisory Agreements”) to take effect immediately after the Closing of the Transaction or shareholder approval, whichever is later. At the December 8, 2016 Board meeting, and for the reasons discussed below (see “Board Considerations” after this Proposal 3), the Board, all of whom are Independent Trustees, unanimously approved each HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement and recommends that shareholder of each Fund approve the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to their Fund. With respect to Janus Asia Equity Fund, the Board approved the termination of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Janus Singapore concurrently with the effectiveness of the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement. For additional information regarding the Board’s consideration of the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreements, see “Board Considerations” after this Proposal 3. The form of the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement is attached hereto as Appendix R. Summary of Terms of HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement Each HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement will have an initial term through February 1, 2018 and will continue in effect from year to year thereafter if such continuance is approved for such Fund at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act. Below is a summary of certain terms of each HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement. Sub-Advisory Services. With respect to Janus Asia Equity Fund, the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that HIML shall manage the investment operations of the Fund and the composition of the Fund’s investment portfolio, With respect to 14

Janus Global Real Estate Fund, the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that HIML shall manage a portion of the investment operations and the composition of a portion of the Fund’s investment portfolio. With respect to Janus Asia Equity Fund and the portion of Janus Global Real Estate Fund managed by HIML, HIML shall determine without prior consultation with the Trust or the Adviser, what securities and other assets of the Fund will be acquired, held, disposed of or loaned, and place orders or direct the Adviser to place orders, for the purchase or sale of such securities or other assets with brokers, dealers or others, all in conformity with the investment objectives, policies and restrictions and the other statements concerning the Fund in the Trust’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as then in effect, the Trust’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as then in effect, and the registration statements of the Trust, and to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable to the Fund as a regulated investment company. HIML shall cause its officers to attend meetings and furnish oral and written reports, as the Fund may reasonably require, in order to keep the Trustees and appropriate officers of the Fund fully informed as to the condition of the investment portfolio of the Fund. Additionally, HIML shall furnish reports as may be reasonably requested by the Board or the Adviser, including, but not limited to reports relating to the valuation of the Fund’s assets. Fees. Under each HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser will pay HIML a sub-advisory fee out of the investment advisory fee it receives from the Fund. With respect to Janus Asia Equity Fund, the sub-advisory fee will be equal to 50% of the investment advisory fee paid by Janus Asia Equity Fund to the Adviser (plus or minus any performance fee adjustment, and net of reimbursement of expenses incurred or fees waived by the Adviser, or any recoupment of such reimbursement or fee reduction, which shall be shared equally between the Adviser and HIML) pursuant to the New Advisory Agreement which is the same sub-advisory fee rate currently paid by Janus Capital to Janus Singapore. With respect to Janus Global Real Estate Fund, the sub-advisory fee will be equal to one third of the investment advisory fee paid by Janus Global Real Estate Fund to the Adviser (plus or minus any performance fee adjustment, and net of reimbursement of expenses incurred or fees waived by the Adviser, or any recoupment of such reimbursement or fee reduction, which shall be shared equally between the Adviser and HIML) pursuant to the New Advisory Agreement. As a result, the sub-advisory fee paid by the Adviser to HIML will adjust up or down based on the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark index over the performance measurement period. There will be no change to the advisory fee rate paid by your Fund to the Adviser in connection with the appointment of HIML as sub-adviser. For additional information regarding the advisory fee paid by the Fund to the Adviser see Appendix C. Payment of Expenses. Under each HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement, HIML agrees to pay its own costs and expenses incurred in rendering its services. Limitation on Liability. Each HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that HIML will not be liable for, and the Adviser will not take any action against HIML to hold HIML liable for, any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission taken with respect to the Fund except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the agreement and except to the extent otherwise provided by law. Continuance. Each HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement will have an initial term until February 1, 2018, and will continue thereafter for successive one-year periods, if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually in the same manner required by the 1940 Act. Termination. Each HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that the agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by the Board, or by the shareholders of the Fund acting by vote of at least a majority of its outstanding voting securities, provided in either case that sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of termination be given to HIML at its principal place of business. Further, each HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that the agreement may be terminated (i) by the Adviser at any time, without penalty, by giving sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of termination to HIML; (ii) by HIML at any time, without penalty, by giving ninety (90) days’ advance notice to the Adviser and the Fund, unless the Adviser or the Fund requests additional time to find a replacement for HIML, in which case HIML shall allow the additional time requested by the Adviser or the Fund not to exceed ninety (90) days’ beyond the initial 90 days’ notice period unless otherwise agreed to by the Adviser, the Fund and HIML; or (iii) by the Adviser or the Fund without advance notice if HIML becomes unable to discharge its duties and obligations under the agreement. In addition, the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement shall terminate, without penalty, upon termination of the New Advisory Agreement of the Fund. For Janus Asia Equity Fund, the terms of the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement are substantially similar to those of the Current Janus Singapore Sub-Advisory Agreement, including that the same rate of compensation is paid to HIML by the Adviser that the Adviser currently pays to Janus Singapore. 15

BOARD CONSIDERATIONS New Advisory Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements On September 15, 2016, Janus advised the Board of its intent to seek a strategic combination of its advisory business with Henderson. The Board met with the Chief Executive Officer of Janus, who outlined the proposed combination and the potential benefits to Janus Capital and the Funds. Subsequent to the September 15, 2016 meeting, the Trustees identified a list of basic principles, which they believed should serve as the foundation for their review of the organizational, operational and strategic issues involved with any potential change in control of Janus Capital, the investment adviser to the Funds. These basic principles were communicated to Janus Capital on September 27, 2016, and were intended to be shared with Henderson. On October 3, 2016, Janus announced that it had entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with Henderson pursuant to which Janus and Henderson agreed to effect an all-stock merger of equals strategic combination of their respective businesses, with Janus Capital surviving the merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Henderson. The Board was advised that, subject to certain conditions, the Transaction is currently expected to close during the second quarter of 2017. As part of its due diligence, the Board developed an initial list of questions related to the proposed transaction, which was provided to Janus Capital on October 6, 2016. At a special Board meeting held on October 19, 2016, the Board considered Janus Capital’s response to the initial information request and met with the management of Janus to discuss the impact of the Transaction on the nature, extent and quality of services Janus Capital is expected to provide to the Funds following the Transaction, addressing, among other matters, the personnel expected to provide such services, and the resources available to do so. After its October 19, 2016 meeting, the Board developed a supplemental request for additional information, which was provided to Janus Capital on October 26, 2016. At another special Board meeting held on November 7-8, 2016, the Board considered Janus Capital’s response to the supplemental information request and again met with the management of Janus and Henderson to discuss the impact of the Transaction on the nature, extent and quality of services Janus Capital is expected to provide to the Funds following the Transaction, and also met with various officers of the Funds and of Janus Capital, including various Fund portfolio managers. After its November 7-8, 2016 meeting, the Board developed a second supplemental request for additional information, which was provided to Janus Capital on November 21, 2016. On December 7-8, 2016, the Board met to consider Janus Capital’s response to the second supplemental information request and to also consider the proposed New Advisory Agreement for each Fund and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for Funds managed by INTECH, Perkins or Janus Singapore. During each of these meetings, the Board sought additional and clarifying information as it deemed necessary or appropriate. In addition, the Board engaged its independent fee consultant to help evaluate certain of the proposals that the Board was being asked to consider. Throughout the process, the Board had the assistance of its independent legal counsel, who advised them on, among other things, its duties and obligations. In connection with the Board’s review, Janus Capital provided, and the Board obtained, substantial information regarding the following matters: the management, financial position and business of Henderson; the history of Henderson’s business and operations; the investment performance of the investment companies advised by Henderson; the proposed structure, operations and investment processes of the combined investment management organization after the Transaction and the strategy for operating and growing the business following the Transaction; the future plans of Janus and Henderson with respect to the Funds and any proposed changes to the operations or structure of the Funds; and the future plans of Janus and Henderson with respect to the provision of services to the Funds, and the entities providing such services, including those affiliated with Janus. The Board also received information regarding the terms of the Transaction, anticipated management of the combined organization, the resources that each of Janus and Henderson bring to the combined organization and the process being followed by Janus and Henderson to integrate their organizations. The Board also received information regarding the impact of the Transaction on each of INTECH, Perkins and Janus Singapore. In connection with the Board’s approval of New Advisory Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements at its December 8, 2016 meeting, the Board also continued its on-going annual process to determine whether to continue the Current Advisory Agreements and the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements. In this regard, the Board received and reviewed information provided by Janus and the respective Sub-Advisers in response to requests of the Board and its independent legal counsel. The Board also received and reviewed information and analysis provided by, and in response to requests of, its independent fee consultant. The Board noted that as part of this annual process, the Board had considered and was in the process of considering, numerous factors, including the nature and quality of services provided by Janus Capital and each Sub-Adviser, as applicable; investment performance, on an absolute basis and relative to appropriate peer groups and one or a combination of market indices; investment management fees, expense ratios and asset sizes of the Funds and peer groups; investment management fees charged to comparable investment companies, separate accounts and non-fund clients; Janus Capital’s profitability from 18

managing the Funds; fall-out benefits to Janus Capital from its relationship to the Funds, including revenues derived from services provided to the Funds by affiliates of Janus Capital; and the potential benefits to Janus Capital, the Funds of receiving research services from broker/dealer firms in connection with the allocation of portfolio transactions to such firms. In determining whether to approve the New Advisory Agreement for each Fund and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for Funds managed by INTECH, Perkins or Janus Singapore in connection with the Transaction, and whether to recommend approval to Fund shareholders, the Board received information and made inquiries into all matters as it deemed appropriate. The Board reviewed and analyzed various factors it deemed relevant, including the following factors, among others, none of which by itself was considered dispositive: • The terms of the New Advisory Agreements are substantially similar to the corresponding Current Advisory Agreements, and the contractual fee rate will not change. In this regard, see the discussion of the Board’s considerations with respect to its approval of the Current Advisory Agreements, as disclosed in each Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report, as applicable. • The terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements are substantially similar to the corresponding Current Sub-Advisory Agreements, and the contractual fee rate will not change. In this regard, see the discussion of the Board’s considerations with respect to its approval of the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements, as disclosed in each Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report, as applicable. • Janus Capital’s plans for the operation of the Funds, including its plans for the continued provision of all services currently provided to the Funds by Janus Capital and its affiliates, including, among others, investment advisory services, portfolio trading services, and Fund administrative and accounting services, and the personnel and resources proposed to support the provision of such services. • The estimated profitability to Janus Capital from managing the Funds after the Transaction, including potential economies of scale and fall-out benefits to Janus Capital from its relationship to the Funds, including revenues derived from services provided to the Funds by affiliates of Janus Capital, and the potential benefits to Janus Capital, and the Funds of receiving research services from broker/dealer firms in connection with the allocation of portfolio transactions to such firms. In connection with its deliberations, the Board received assurances from Janus, on behalf of itself and its affiliates (collectively, “Janus”) including the following: • Janus has provided to the Board such information as it believes is reasonably necessary to evaluate the New Advisory Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements. • Janus is committed to the continuance, without interruption, of services to the Funds of at least the type and quality currently provided by Janus Capital and its affiliates, or superior thereto. • The Transaction is not expected to affect negatively the nature, extent or quality of the investment advisory services provided by Janus Capital to the Funds following the Transaction, and the investment advisory services are expected to be at least comparable to the services being provided under the Current Advisory Agreements and Current Sub-Advisory Agreements. In this regard, the Board noted specific representations that Janus does not intend for the nature, extent or quality of investment advisory and other services to be provided to the Funds following the Transaction to change, and the extent of such services were expected to increase based on the combined resources of the combined investment management organization after the Transaction, and should the nature, extent or quality of such services decline, Janus would commit the resources needed to return such services to pre-Transaction levels. • The Funds’ current operations were expected to remain largely unchanged, except for certain fund reorganizations which will be separately considered by the Board, and such other changes as were or will be presented to the Board. • Janus does not intend to make changes to the portfolio managers providing services to the Funds, other than proposed changes in the management of certain Funds as discussed with the Board, including those related to proposals to merge certain Funds with Henderson Funds, and subject to such changes as may arise at any time as a result of the ongoing process of portfolio manager evaluation. • After the Transaction, the extent of distribution and marketing services provided to the Funds were expected to increase based on the combined resources of Janus and Henderson. In this regard, Janus Capital advised the Board that after the Transaction, the extent of distribution and marketing services provided to the Funds are expected to increase based on 19

the combined resources of Janus and Henderson. This is due primarily to the anticipated increase of sales related resources and expanded global presence of the combined Janus Henderson organization, which is expected to enhance visibility and brand recognition of the Janus Henderson Funds. • The intent of Janus Capital to take the necessary and appropriate steps to retain and attract its key investment advisory personnel. • The intent of Janus to take the necessary and appropriate steps to retain and attract its key compliance, financial, fund accounting and administrative personnel supporting the management and oversight of the Funds. • Janus is not aware of any express or implied term, condition, arrangement or understanding that would impose in its best judgement an “unfair burden” on any Fund as a result of the Transaction, as defined in Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act, and that Janus will take no action that would have the effect of imposing such an “unfair burden” on any Fund in connection with the Transaction. Janus assured the Board that it intended to comply with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section 15(f) provides a non-exclusive safe harbor for an investment adviser to an investment company or any of its affiliated persons to receive any amount or benefit in connection with a change in control of the investment adviser so long as two conditions are met. First, for a period of three years after the transaction, at least 75% of the board members of the investment company must not be Interested Persons of such investment adviser. The composition of the Board is in compliance with this provision of Section 15(f). In addition, after careful review and consideration, the Board determined that it would be in the best interests of the Funds to add to the Board an individual who currently acts as a non-interested board member of the Henderson Trust. The Board believes that this change in the Board composition will provide perspective and insight relating to experience working with the Henderson organization. The Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee considered a number of candidates and recommended that the Board nominate one proposed new trustee from those candidates who currently act as non-interested board members of the Henderson Trust. The Board approved that trustee nominee to serve on the Board, subject to election by the shareholders of the Funds and contingent on the closing of the Transaction. If the new trustee is elected and serves on the Board, the Board composition would continue to satisfy the provisions of Section 15(f). To meet the second condition of Section 15(f), an “unfair burden” must not be imposed upon the investment company as a result of such transaction or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. The term “unfair burden” is defined in Section 15(f) to include any arrangement during the two-year period after the transaction, whereby the investment adviser, or any interested person of such adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its shareholders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for such investment company). Janus represented that it does not believe that an “unfair burden” will be placed on the Funds as a result of the Transaction. In furtherance thereof, Janus has undertaken to pay the costs of preparing and distributing proxy materials to, and of holding the Meetings of, the Funds’ shareholders, as well as other fees and expenses in connection with the Transaction, including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel and consultants to the Funds and the Trustees. In addition, Janus has agreed, for a period of two years following the closing of the Transaction, (i) not to request any increases to advisory fees for the Funds, other than those proposed to and approved by the Board prior to the close of the Transaction, and (ii) to continue to use the current process by which expense caps are set annually for the Funds. As a result of its review and consideration of the New Investment Advisory Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements in connection with the Transaction, at a meeting on December 8, 2016, the Board voted unanimously to approve a New Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund and a New Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund managed by INTECH, Perkins or Janus Singapore, and to recommend such agreements to the Funds’ shareholders for their approval. HIML Sub-Advisory Agreements The Adviser met with the Trustees on November 7-8, 2016, and December 7-8, 2016, to discuss the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreements. At the meetings, the Trustees also discussed the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreements with their independent counsel in executive session. During the course of these meetings, the Trustees requested and considered such information as they deemed relevant to their deliberations. In addition, at prior meetings and during the course of these meetings the Board also undertook a comprehensive process to evaluate the impact of the Transaction on the nature, quality and extent of services expected to be provided by the Adviser and HIML to each HIML Fund, including after the completion of the Transaction. For a fuller discussion of the Board’s consideration of the approval of a new investment advisory agreement for the HIML Funds in 20

connection with the Transaction, see “Board Considerations—New Advisory Agreements with the Current Adviser and Sub-Advisers” above. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on December 8, 2016, the Trustees considered the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreements. In determining whether to approve the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreements, and whether to recommend approval to the shareholders of each HIML Fund, the Board received information and made inquiries into all matters as it deemed appropriate. The Board reviewed and analyzed various factors it deemed relevant, including the following factors, among others, none of which by itself was considered dispositive: • the terms of each HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement; • the nature, quality and extent of services expected to be provided under the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreements, including the reputation, qualifications and background of HIML and its operational and compliance infrastructures; • the investment approach, the experience and skills of senior management and investment personnel of HIML, including the portfolio managers who would be responsible for managing all or part of the portfolio of each HIML Fund, noting the resources made available to such personnel; • the ability of HIML to attract and retain high-quality personnel and the organizational depth of HIML; • the sub-advisory fee rate under each HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement, as well as the overall management fee structure of each HIML Fund, noting that the sub-advisory fee rate is consistent with the approach utilized in the Janus Funds complex for other sub-advisory relationships, taking into account the allocation of managed assets between the Adviser and HIML for the Global Real Estate Fund; • under each HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser would be responsible for paying HIML out of its fees; • the fall out benefits to HIML and its affiliates from its relationship with each HIML Fund, including the potential benefits to HIML and its affiliates and each HIML Fund of receiving research services from broker/dealer firms in connection with the allocation of portfolio transactions to such firms; • the potential for economies of scale with respect to the overall fee structure of each HIML Fund and whether either Fund will benefit from any economies of scale; and • the costs of seeking approval of the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreements will not be borne by the HIML Funds. As a result of its review and consideration of each HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement and related matters, on December 8, 2016, the Board voted unanimously to approve each HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement and to recommend such agreement to each HIML Fund’s shareholders for their approval.

PROPOSAL 4 TRUSTEE ELECTION (All Funds) Introduction At the Meeting, shareholders of all series of the Trust will be asked to elect an additional individual to the Board of Trustees. Currently, the Board has eight members, each of whom is an Independent Trustee. In connection with the Transaction, the Board has sought to increase the size of the Board to nine members and has nominated Diane L. Wallace (the “Trustee Nominee”) to stand for election as a Trustee. Ms. Wallace was unanimously approved by the Board to stand for election, upon a recommendation from the Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee, a committee consisting entirely of Independent Trustees, and the nomination was approved by all of the current Independent Trustees. Ms. Wallace currently serves as a trustee of certain mutual funds advised by HGINA and would qualify to serve as an Independent Trustee. Among other things, the Board considered Ms. Wallace’s background and experience in the financial services industry, including her experience with the Henderson funds, and determined that the addition of Ms. Wallace to the Board would provide valuable continuity and enhance the Board’s oversight of the Trust following the completion of the Transaction. The election by shareholders of the Trustee Nominee will provide the Board with flexibility going forward to replace Trustees as needed without the time and expense of unnecessary proxy solicitation. The persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card(s) will vote for the election of the nominee named below unless the authority to vote for the Trustee Nominee is withheld. If elected, the Trustee Nominee will serve as a Trustee until the next meeting of the shareholders, if any, called for the purpose of electing all Trustees or until the election and qualification of a successor. If a Trustee sooner dies, resigns, retires (currently expected at the end of the calendar year in which the Trustee turns age 75), or is removed as provided in the organizational documents of the Trust, the Board may, in its discretion and subject to the 1940 Act, select another person to fill the vacant position. If the Trustee Nominee should become unavailable for election at the Meeting due to events not now known or anticipated, the persons named as proxies will vote for such other nominee or nominees as the current Independent Trustees may recommend. The Trust is not required, and does not intend, to hold annual shareholder meetings for the purpose of electing Trustees. Shareholders also have the right to call a meeting to remove a Trustee or to take other action described in the Trust’s organizational documents. Also, if at any time less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by the Trust’s shareholders, the Trustees then in office will promptly call a shareholder meeting for the purpose of electing one or more Trustees. The Trustee Nominee and her background are shown on the following pages. This information includes each Trustee’s and the Trustee Nominee’s name, age, principal occupation(s) and other information about each Trustee and the Trustee Nominee’s professional background, including other directorships the Trustee or the Trustee Nominee holds or held, during the past five years. The address of each Trustee and the Trustee Nominee is 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206. Each Trustee serves, and the Trustee Nominee, if so elected will serve, as a trustee of Janus Aspen Series (“JAS”), another registered investment company advised by Janus Capital (JAS and the Trust, are collectively referred to herein as the “Janus Funds”). Collectively, the Janus Funds consist of 58 series as of December 29, 2016.

General Information Regarding the Board of Trustees The Trust is governed by the Board of Trustees, which is responsible for and oversees the management and operations of the Trust and each Fund on behalf of Fund shareholders. Each member of the Board is an Independent Trustee, including the Board’s Chairman. The Board’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to, oversight of the Funds’ officers and service providers, including Janus Capital, which is responsible for the Trust’s day-to-day operations. The Trustees approve all of the agreements entered into with the Funds’ service providers, including the investment advisory agreements with Janus Capital and the Funds’ sub-advisers. The Trustees are also responsible for determining or changing the Funds’ investment objectives, policies, and available investment techniques, as well as for overseeing the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer. In carrying out these responsibilities, the Trustees are assisted by the Trust’s independent auditor (who reports directly to the Trust’s Audit Committee), independent counsel, an independent fee consultant, and other specialists as appropriate, all of whom are selected by the Trustees. The Trustees also meet regularly with and without representatives of Janus Capital or its affiliates present. The Trustees discharge their responsibilities collectively as a Board, as well as through Board committees, each of which operates pursuant to a Board-approved charter that delineates the specific responsibilities of that committee. For example, the Board as a whole is responsible for oversight of the annual process by which the Board considers and approves each Fund’s investment advisory agreement with Janus Capital, but specific matters related to oversight of the Funds’ independent auditor have been delegated by the Board to its Audit Committee, subject to approval of the Audit Committee’s recommendations by the Board. The members and responsibilities of each Board committee are summarized below. In addition to serving on certain

24

committees, the Chairman of the Board (“Board Chairman”) is responsible for presiding at all meetings of the Board, and has other duties as may be assigned by the Trustees from time to time. The Board Chairman also serves as the Board’s liaison to Janus Capital with respect to all matters related to the Funds that are not otherwise delegated to the chair of a Board committee. The Board has determined that this leadership structure is appropriate based on (1) the number of Funds overseen and the various investment objectives of those Funds; (2) the manner in which the Funds’ shares are marketed and distributed; and (3) the responsibilities entrusted to Janus Capital and its affiliates to oversee the Trust’s day-to-day operations, including the management of each Fund’s portfolio and the distribution of Fund shares. On an annual basis, the Board conducts a selfevaluation that considers, among other matters, whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively and whether, given the size and composition of the Board and each of its committees, the Trustees are able to oversee effectively the number of Janus Funds in the complex. There were 4 regular meetings and 4 special meetings of the Trustees held during the 12 months ended December 31, 2016. Each Trustee attended all of these meetings with few exceptions during that 12-month period. Because the Trust is not required to convene annual shareholder meetings, there is no policy requiring Trustee attendance at such meetings. Committees of the Board of Trustees The Board of Trustees has six standing committees that perform specialized functions: an Audit Committee, a Brokerage Committee, an Investment Oversight Committee, a Legal and Regulatory Committee, a Nominating and Governance Committee, and a Pricing Committee. Each committee is comprised entirely of Independent Trustees and has a written charter that delineates its duties and powers. Each committee reviews and evaluates matters as specified in its charter and makes recommendations to the Trustees as it deems appropriate. Each committee may utilize the resources of counsel to the Independent Trustees and the Trust, independent auditors and other experts. The committees normally meet in conjunction with regular meetings of the Trustees but may convene at other times (in person or by telephone) as deemed appropriate or necessary. The membership and chairperson of each committee is appointed by the Trustees upon recommendation of the Trust’s Nominating and Governance Committee. Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews the Trust’s financial reporting process, the system of internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, including the review of the adequacy of relevant personnel and the review of reports related to such system of internal controls, Form N-CSR and Form N-Q filings, and the audit process. The Committee’s review of the audit process includes, among other things, the appointment, compensation and oversight of the Trust’s independent auditor, which performs the audits of the Funds’ financial statements, regular meetings and communication with relevant personnel at Janus Capital and the independent auditor, and pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services. The Committee also reviews any significant changes or improvements in accounting and audit processes that have been implemented. The Committee receives reports from Janus Capital’s enterprise risk management and internal audit departments. The Committee also receives annual representations from the Trust’s independent auditor as to its independence. Currently, the members of the Audit Committee are: William D. Cvengros (Chair), Gary A. Poliner and William D. Stewart. The Committee held 9 meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2016. Brokerage Committee. The Brokerage Committee reviews and makes recommendations regarding matters related to the Trust’s use of brokerage commissions and placement of Fund portfolio transactions, oversees the implementation of the policies of Janus Capital and any subadviser on behalf of the Trusts, and reviews reports provided with respect to compliance with such policies. Currently, the members of the Brokerage Committee are: Alan A. Brown (Chair), James T. Rothe, and William D. Stewart. The Committee held 3 meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2016. Investment Oversight Committee. The Investment Oversight Committee oversees the investment activities of the Funds. The Committee meets regularly with investment personnel at Janus Capital and any subadviser to a Fund to review the investment performance, investment risk characteristics, and strategies of the Funds in light of their stated investment objectives and policies. The Committee reviews various matters related to the operations of the Trust’s money market funds, including the review of reports related to such operations, compliance with the Trust’s Money Market Fund Procedures and Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Currently, the members of the Investment Oversight Committee are: William F. McCalpin (Chair), Alan A. Brown, William D. Cvengros, Raudline Etienne, Gary A. Poliner, James T. Rothe, William D. Stewart, and Linda S. Wolf. Mr. Cvengros serves as the Lead Trustee for money market matters. The Committee held 5 meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2016. Legal and Regulatory Committee. The Legal and Regulatory Committee oversees compliance with various procedures adopted by the Trust and compliance with any conditions included in any exemptive order of the SEC or other orders and settlement agreements applicable to the Trust, reviews reports and other materials related to such compliance, reviews certain 25

regulatory filings made with the SEC, and oversees, among other matters, the implementation and administration of the Trust’s Proxy Voting Guidelines. The Committee also monitors the performance of legal counsel employed by the Trust, oversees administration of the Trust’s insurance program, and oversees the administration of the Trust’s securities lending program. Currently, the members of the Legal and Regulatory Committee are: Linda S. Wolf (Chair), Alan A. Brown, Gary A Poliner and William F. McCalpin. The Committee held 9 meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2016. Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies and recommends individuals for Trustee membership and an Independent Trustee to serve as Board Chair, consults with Fund officers and the Board Chair in planning Trustee meetings, reviews the responsibilities of each Board committee, which includes the need for new committees and the continuation of existing committees, and oversees the administration of, and ensures compliance with, the Trust’s Governance Procedures and Guidelines adopted by the Trustees, which includes review of, and proposed changes to, Trustee compensation. In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee leads the Trustees’ annual self-assessment process. Currently, the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are: James T. Rothe (Chair), William F. McCalpin, and Linda S. Wolf. The Committee held 7 meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2016. Pricing Committee. The Pricing Committee reviews and approves, or disapproves or ratifies, fair valuation determinations and valuation methodologies, determines a fair value of restricted and other securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or that are deemed not to be reliable, pursuant to procedures adopted by the Trustees. The Committee also provides oversight of all types of derivative instruments used by the Trusts and the currency hedging activities of the Trusts, reviews the reasonableness of valuation procedures, management’s adherence to such procedures, the adequacy of supporting documentation, the frequency and magnitude of pricing errors, and other matters related to pricing the Janus Funds’ securities. Currently, the members of the Pricing Committee are: William D. Stewart (Chair), Raudline Etienne, James T. Rothe, and Linda S. Wolf. The Committee held 3 meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2016. Process for Identifying and Evaluating Trustee Nominees and Nominee Qualifications The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board is responsible for identifying and nominating candidates for appointment as Trustees. As stated in the Committee’s charter, (1) the principal criterion for selection of candidates for the Board is the candidate’s ability to contribute to the overall functioning of the Board and to carry out the responsibilities of a Trustee, and (2) the Trustees should, collectively, represent a broad cross section of backgrounds, functional disciplines, and experience. In considering a potential candidate’s qualifications to serve as a Trustee, the Committee may also take into account a variety of other diverse criteria, including, but not limited to (i) knowledge of the investment company industry; (ii) relevant experience; (iii) educational background; (iv) reputation for high ethical standards and personal and professional integrity; (v) financial, technical or other expertise; (vi) time commitment to the performance of duties of a Trustee; (vii) stature commensurate with the responsibility of representing Fund shareholders; and (viii) if a candidate is nominated for an Independent Trustee position, that the person meets the independence criteria established by the 1940 Act and the Governance Procedures and Guidelines adopted by the Trustees. Consistent with the Trust’s organizational documents and procedures adopted by the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Committee will consider Trustee nominations made by shareholders. Shareholders of a Fund may submit names of potential candidates for consideration by the Committee by submitting their recommendations to the Trust’s Secretary, at the address of the principal executive office of the Trust, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Committee. A copy of such procedures is included as Appendix 1 to the Nominating and Governance Committee Charter attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix L. The Committee may use any process it deems appropriate for identifying and evaluating candidates for service as a Trustee, which may include, without limitation, personal interviews, background checks, written submissions by the candidates, third party references and the use of consultants, including professional recruiting firms, which the Committee utilized to assist its efforts to identify and evaluate potential nominees during its most recent search. The Committee will evaluate nominees for a particular vacancy using the same process regardless of whether the nominee is submitted by a Fund shareholder or identified by some other means. On an annual basis, the Board conducts a self-evaluation that considers, among other matters, the contributions of individual Trustees, whether the Board has an appropriate size and the right mix of characteristics, experiences and skills, and whether the age distribution and diversity among the Trustees is appropriate. After completion of its process to identify and evaluate Trustee nominees, and after giving due consideration to all factors it deemed appropriate, the Committee approved for nomination, and recommended that the Trustees approve for nomination, the Trustee Nominee identified herein. The Committee believes that if elected, the Trustee Nominee qualifies to serve as an Independent Trustee. The Trustee Nominee’s background is detailed above. 26

The Committee and the Trustees considered the totality of the information available to them, and took into account the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills discussed below to conclude that each Trustee and Trustee Nominee should serve as a Trustee, in light of the Trust’s business and structure. In reaching these conclusions, the Committee and the Trustees, in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment, evaluated each Trustee and Trustee Nominee based on the criteria described above, and reviewed the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that each Trustee and Trustee Nominee presented, none of which by itself was considered dispositive. Independent Trustee Nominee Diane L. Wallace: Service as Independent Trustee of Henderson Global Funds and other leading investment management firms, and as Chief Operating Officer, Senior Vice President of Operations, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of a leading investment management firm. Independent Trustees Alan A. Brown: Service as Executive Vice President and as Chief Marketing Officer of a leading investment management firm, a corporate and fund director, and as an executive with a private equity real estate investment management firm, and a Fund Independent Trustee since 2013. William D. Cvengros: Service as Chief Executive Officer and President of a leading publicly traded investment management firm, Chief Investment Officer of a major life insurance company, a corporate and fund director, and in various capacities with private investment firms, and a Fund Independent Trustee since 2011. Raudline Etienne: Service as Deputy Controller and Chief Investment Officer of a large public pension fund, Senior Vice President and Senior Adviser to a global strategy firm, and a Fund Independent Trustee since 2016. William F. McCalpin: Service as Chief Operating Officer of a large private family foundation, Chairman and Director of an unaffiliated fund complex, and a Fund Independent Trustee since 2002 and Independent Chairman of the Board of Trustees since 2008. Gary A. Poliner: Service as President, and Vice President and Chief Risk Officer, of a large life insurance company, a director of private companies, service as director and Chairman and Director of unaffiliated fund complexes, and a Fund Independent Trustee since 2016. James T. Rothe: Co-founder and Managing Director of a private investment firm, former business school professor, service as a corporate director, and a Fund Independent Trustee since 1997. William D. Stewart: Service as a corporate vice president of a NASDAQ-listed industrial manufacturer and a Fund Independent Trustee since 1984. Linda S. Wolf: Service as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of a global advertising firm, service on multiple corporate and nonprofit boards, and a Fund Independent Trustee since 2005. Board Oversight of Risk Management Janus Capital, as part of its responsibilities for the day-to-day operations of the Funds, is responsible for day-to-day risk management of the Funds. The Board, as part of its overall oversight responsibilities for the Funds’ operations, oversees Janus Capital’s risk management efforts with respect to the Janus funds. In the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, the Board also separately considers potential risks that may impact the Funds. The Board discharges its oversight duties and considers potential risks in a number of different ways, including, but not limited to, receiving reports on a regular basis, either directly or through an appropriate committee, from Janus Capital and its officers. Reports received include those from, among others, Janus Capital’s (1) senior managers responsible for oversight of global risk, including, for example, those responsible for oversight of cyber risks; (2) senior managers responsible for oversight of portfolio construction and trading risk; (3) Chief Compliance Officer; and (4) Director of Internal Audit. At the time these reports are presented, the Board or the committee receiving the report will, as it deems necessary, invite the presenter to participate in an executive session to discuss matters outside the presence of any other officers or representatives of Janus Capital or its affiliates. The Board also receives reports from other entities and individuals unaffiliated with Janus Capital, including reports from the Funds’ other service providers and from independent consultants hired by the Board. Various Board committees also will consider particular risk items as the committee addresses items and issues specific to the jurisdiction of that committee. For example, the Pricing Committee will consider valuation risk as part of its regular oversight responsibilities, and similarly, the Brokerage Committee will consider counterparty risk associated with the Funds’ 27

portfolio transactions. The Board also may be apprised of particular risk management matters in connection with its general oversight and approval of various Fund matters brought before the Board. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer for the Funds (“Fund CCO”) who (1) reports directly to the Board and (2) provides a comprehensive written report annually and presents quarterly at the Board’s regular meetings. The Fund CCO, who also serves as Janus Capital’s Chief Compliance Officer, discusses relevant risk issues that may impact the Funds and/or Janus Capital’s services to the Funds, and routinely meets with the Board in private without representatives of Janus Capital or its affiliates present. The Fund CCO also provides the Board with updates on the application of the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures, including how these procedures are designed to mitigate risk and what, if any, changes have been made to enhance the procedures. The Fund CCO may also report to the Board on an ad hoc basis in the event that he &identifies issues associated with the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures that could expose the Funds to additional risk or adversely impact the ability of Janus Capital to provide services to the Funds. The Board believes that its leadership structure permits it to effectively discharge its oversight responsibilities with respect to the Funds’ risk management process. Trustee Share Ownership Under the Trust’s Governance Procedures and Guidelines, the Trustees are expected to invest in one or more (but not necessarily all) funds advised by Janus Capital for which they serve as Trustee, to the extent they are directly eligible to do so. For each Trustee, these investments are expected, in the aggregate and at a minimum, to equal median Trustee annual compensation with an allowance for new Trustees to reach this level of investment over time. These investments may include amounts held under a deferred compensation plan that are valued based on “shadow investments” in such funds. Such investments, including the amount and which funds, are dictated by each Trustee’s individual financial circumstances and investment goals. The dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by each Trustee and Trustee Nominee in each Fund and all Janus Funds overseen by the Trustee as of December 31, 2016 in the aggregate is set forth in Appendix H to this Proxy Statement. Compensation of Trustees The Trust pays each Independent Trustee an annual retainer plus a fee for each regular in-person meeting of the Trustees attended, a fee for in-person meetings of committees attended if convened on a date other than that of a regularly scheduled meeting, and a fee for telephone meetings of the Trustees and committees. In addition, committee chairs/leads and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees receive an additional supplemental retainer. Each current Independent Trustee also receives fees from other Janus funds for serving as Trustee of those funds and those amounts are included below. Janus Capital pays any Trustee not considered an “independent” Trustee, for their services as a Trustee. All of the Trustees and the Trustee Nominee are “independent;” therefore, none of the Trustees are paid by Janus Capital. The Trust and other funds managed by Janus Capital pay all or a portion of the compensation and related expenses of the Fund CCO and compliance staff, as well as certain Fund officers and Janus Capital employees, as authorized from time to time by the Trustees. The Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee, which consists solely of Independent Trustees, annually reviews and recommends to the Independent Trustees any changes to compensation paid by the Funds to the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees also meet at least annually to review their fees in connection with the recommendations of the Nominating and Governance Committee, to ensure that such fees continue to be appropriate in light of the Trustees’ responsibilities as well as in relation to fees paid to trustees of other similarly situated mutual fund complexes. The tables set forth in Appendix I to this Proxy Statement show, for each Trustee, the compensation paid by each Fund to each Trustee for its last fiscal year, as well as the total compensation paid by all Janus Funds to each Trustee for the calendar year ended December 31, 2016. Officers of the Trust The officers of the Trust and their principal occupations are set forth in Appendix J to this Proxy Statement. Shareholder Approval Election of the Trustee Nominee will be determined by the affirmative vote of a plurality (the greatest number of affirmative votes) of the shares of all funds of the Trust, including all Funds listed in this Proxy Statement and each other series of the Trust for which votes are being solicited pursuant to separate proxy statements.

28

For purposes of determining the election of the Trustee Nominee, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote and, assuming the presence of a quorum, votes not cast or withheld will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Under a plurality voting standard the Trustee Nominee receiving the greatest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Because a single Trustee Nominee has been nominated to fill the vacancy and is unopposed, assuming the presence of a quorum, the Trustee Nominee is expected to be elected. If elected by shareholders, and assuming consummation of the Transaction, it is expected that the Trustee Nominee will be seated as a Trustee of the Trust prior to the first meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust held after the consummation of the Transaction. The election of the Trustee Nominee is contingent on the closing of the Transaction. If the Transaction is not consummated, the Trustee Nominee will not join the Board of Trustees. The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders of the Trust vote FOR the Trustee Nominee.

PROPOSAL 5 APPROVAL OF MANAGER OF MANAGERS PROPOSAL (All Funds except Janus Adaptive Global Allocation Fund and INTECH Emerging Markets Managed Volatility Fund) The Board has approved, and recommends that shareholders approve, a proposal authorizing the Adviser to enter into and materially amend sub-advisory agreements in the future with wholly-owned sub-advisers and unaffiliated sub-advisers, with the approval of the Board, but without obtaining additional shareholder approval (the “Manager of Managers Proposal”). The Manager of Managers Proposal Shareholder Approval of Sub-Advisory Agreements. Federal securities laws generally require that shareholders approve agreements with a sub-adviser. Shareholder approval also is required if the terms of existing sub-advisory agreements are changed materially or if there is a change in control of the sub-adviser. In order to obtain shareholder approval, a fund must call and conduct shareholder meetings, prepare and distribute proxy materials and solicit votes from shareholders. The process can be costly and time-consuming. The Board believes that it is in the Funds’ best interests if the Board represents their interests in approving or rejecting recommendations made by the Adviser regarding sub-advisers. This approach will avoid the costs and delays associated with holding shareholder meetings to obtain approval for future changes. SEC Exemptive Order. On July 29, 2014, the SEC granted an order exempting the Trust and the Adviser from the federal securities law requirements to obtain shareholder approval regarding sub-advisory agreements between Janus Capital and wholly-owned sub-advisers and unaffiliated sub-advisers (the “SEC Exemptive Order”). The SEC Exemptive Order permits the Adviser to select sub-advisers to manage all or a portion of the assets of a Fund and enter into sub-advisory agreements with sub-advisers, and materially amend sub-advisory agreements with sub-advisers, subject to the approval of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, without obtaining shareholder approval. Before a Fund may rely on the SEC Exemptive Order, the operation of the Fund in the manner permitted by the SEC Exemptive Order must be approved by shareholders. In accordance with the SEC Exemptive Order, the Adviser will provide general management services, including overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of the Fund’s assets. Subject to review and approval of the Board, the Adviser will (a) set a Fund’s overall investment strategies, (b) evaluate, select, and recommend sub-advisers to manage all or a portion of a Fund’s assets, and (c) implement procedures reasonably designed to ensure that sub-advisers comply with a Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions. Subject to review by the Board, the Adviser will (a) when appropriate, allocate and reallocate a Fund’s assets among multiple sub-advisers; and (b) monitor and evaluate the performance of sub-advisers. Under the SEC Exemptive Order, the Trust and the Adviser are subject to several conditions imposed by the SEC to ensure that the interests of the Funds’ shareholders are adequately protected. Among these conditions are that within 90 days of the hiring of a new sub-adviser, a Fund will provide shareholders with an information statement, or with a notice of the availability of such information statement, that contains substantially the same information about the sub-adviser, the sub-advisory agreement and the sub-advisory fee that the Fund would otherwise have been required to send to shareholders in a proxy statement. Shareholder approval of the Manager of Managers Proposal will not result in an increase or decrease in the total amount of investment advisory fees that would be paid by a Fund to the Adviser. Board Considerations The Board believes that it is in the best interest of each Fund to afford the Adviser the flexibility to provide investment advisory services to each Fund through one or more sub-advisers that have particular expertise in the type of investments in which a Fund invests. As described above, without the ability to utilize the SEC Exemptive Order, in order for the Adviser to appoint a new sub-adviser or modify a sub-advisory agreement materially, the Board must call and hold a shareholder meeting of that Fund, create and distribute proxy materials and solicit votes from the Fund’s shareholders. This process is time consuming and costly. Without the delay inherent in holding shareholder meetings, the Adviser would be able to act more quickly to appoint a new sub-adviser if and when the Board and the Adviser believe that the appointment would benefit the Fund. The Board believes that granting the Adviser (subject to review and approval by the Board) maximum flexibility to select sub-advisers, without incurring the delay or expense of obtaining further shareholder approval, is in the best interest of the Funds because it will allow each Fund to operate more efficiently. 30

In addition, the Board believes that it is appropriate to vest the selection of sub-advisers in the Adviser (subject to review and approval by the Board) in light of the Adviser’s investment advisory expertise and its experience in selecting sub-advisers. The Board believes that if in the future it becomes appropriate to add or change a sub-adviser to your Fund, it can access this expertise and experience in ways that can add value to the Fund and its shareholders. Although no new sub-advisory arrangements or changes to any Fund’s existing sub-advisory arrangement are being recommended in connection with the Transaction, except for Janus Asia Equity Fund and Janus Global Real Estate Fund (described further in Proposal 3), the Adviser expects to continue to evaluate these relationships, including evaluating the capabilities of the existing Sub-Advisers, the capabilities of other possible sub-advisers and the enhanced capabilities of Janus Henderson, assuming the Transaction occurs. If that evaluation results in a recommendation to implement a new sub-advisory relationship or change any existing sub-advisory relationship, either in connection with the Transaction or separately, that recommendation could not be implemented without Board approval. Finally, the Board believes that it will retain sufficient oversight of each Fund’s sub-advisory arrangements to seek to ensure that shareholders’ interests are protected whenever the Adviser selects a sub-adviser or modifies a sub-advisory agreement. The Board will continue to evaluate and to approve all proposed sub-advisory agreements, as well as any proposed modifications to existing sub-advisory agreements. In doing so, the Trustees will analyze such factors that they consider to be relevant to the determination. The terms of each sub-advisory agreement will include those required by applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, except for the specific provisions of the 1940 Act from which the SEC Exemptive Order provides relief. Shareholder Approval To become effective with respect to a Fund, the Manager of Managers Proposal must be approved by a 1940 Act Majority (as defined herein) of the Fund, with all classes of shares voting together as a single class. For purposes of determining the approval of the Manager of Managers Proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as shares voted against the proposal. An unfavorable vote on the Manager of Managers Proposal by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of the Manager of Managers Proposal by another Fund if the Manager of Manager Proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Fund. Shareholder approval of the Manager of Managers Proposal is not being sought with respect to Janus Adaptive Global Allocation Fund and INTECH Emerging Markets Managed Volatility Fund, as such Funds have already implemented the manager of managers structure at their inception. If shareholders of a Fund approve the Manager of Managers Proposal, the Proposal will take effect whether or not the Transaction is consummated. The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders of each Fund vote FOR approval of the Manager of Managers Proposal.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Based on the Audit Committee’s recommendation, the Board of Trustees, all of whom are Independent Trustees, selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm during the Trust’s current fiscal year. In accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (“ISB No. 1”), PwC has confirmed to the Trust’s Audit Committee that it is an independent registered accounting firm with respect to the Funds. Representatives of PwC will be available at the Meeting to answer appropriate questions concerning the Trust’s financial statements and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so choose. Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by PwC for the audit of annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by PwC in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the fiscal years ending in 2016 and 2015 for each Fund and Janus Capital or entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Janus Capital that provide ongoing services to the Funds (collectively, “Fund Service Providers”), are listed in the tables set forth in Appendix K to this Proxy Statement. Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services by PwC that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees” above for the fiscal years ending in 2016 and 2015 for each Fund and the Fund Service Providers are listed in the tables set forth in Appendix K to this Proxy Statement. The nature of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category includes the review of semiannual reports to shareholders. Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by PwC for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning for the fiscal years ending in 2016 and 2015 for each Fund and the Fund Service Providers are listed in the tables set forth in Appendix K to this Proxy Statement. The nature of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category includes tax compliance, tax planning, tax advice, and corporate actions review. All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by PwC, other than the services reported in “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees,” and “Tax Fees” above, for the fiscal years ending in 2016 and 2015 for each Fund and the Fund Service Providers are listed in the tables set forth in Appendix K to this Proxy Statement. The nature of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category includes the review of semiannual reports to shareholders, an annual study and evaluation of internal accounting controls, training, registration statement review, and Qualified Foreign Individual Investor (“QFII”) services. Pre-Approval of Certain Services. The Trust’s Audit Committee Charter requires the Audit Committee to pre-approve any engagement of PwC (i) to provide audit or non-audit services to the Trust or (ii) to provide non-audit services to the Fund Service Providers, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “Pre-Approval Exception”). The Chair of the Audit Committee or, if the Chair is unavailable, another member of the Audit Committee who is an Independent Trustee, may grant the pre-approval. All such delegated pre-approvals must be presented to the Audit Committee no later than the next Audit Committee meeting. None of the services rendered by PwC to the Funds or to Janus Capital (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or any Fund Service Providers for the fiscal years ending in 2016 and 2015 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the Pre-Approval Exception. Non-Audit Fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by PwC for services rendered to the Trust, and rendered to Janus Capital (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any Fund Service Providers for the fiscal years ending in 2016 and 2015 are listed in the tables set forth in Appendix K to this Proxy Statement. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Janus Capital (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and Fund Service Providers that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining PwC’s independence.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING Quorum and Voting Each holder of a whole or fractional share shall be entitled to one vote for each whole dollar and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional dollar of net asset value of shares held in such shareholder’s name as of the Record Date. If you are not the owner of record, but your shares are instead held for your benefit by a financial intermediary such as a retirement plan service provider, broker-dealer, bank trust department, insurance company, or other financial intermediary, that financial intermediary may request that you provide instruction on how to vote the shares you beneficially own. Your financial intermediary will provide you with additional information. Thirty percent of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Meeting with respect to each Fund shall be a quorum for the transaction of business by that Fund at the Meeting. Any lesser number is sufficient for adjournments. Quorum with respect to each proposal is described in greater detail below. In the event that the necessary quorum to transact business is not present or the vote required to approve a proposal is not obtained at the Meeting with respect to each Fund, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments or postponements of the Meeting, in accordance with applicable law, to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposal. Any such adjournment or postponement as to the proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the applicable Fund, present in person or by proxy at the Meeting. If a quorum is not present or the vote required to approve a proposal is not obtained, the persons named as proxies will vote those proxies for the Fund (excluding broker non-votes and abstentions) in favor of such adjournment or postponement if they determine additional solicitation is warranted and in the interest of the Fund. “Broker non-votes” are shares held by a broker or nominee for which an executed proxy is received by a Fund, but are not voted because instructions have not been received from beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote, and the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power. For purposes of voting on a proposal, abstentions and “broker non-votes” will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, but do not represent votes cast in favor of an adjournment, postponement, or a proposal. Therefore, if your shares are held through a broker or other nominee, it is important for you to instruct the broker or nominee how to vote your shares. Certain funds in the Janus fund complex are considered “fund of funds” and invest their assets in the Janus funds. Such funds of funds will vote any shares of the Funds for and against any matter in the same proportion as the votes of other shareholders of the underlying funds. Proposal 1: Approval of New Investment Advisory Agreement. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on Proposal 1. To become effective with respect to a Fund, the New Advisory Agreements require the affirmative vote of a 1940 Act Majority of the applicable Fund, with all classes of shares voting together as a single class. A 1940 Act Majority means the lesser of the vote of (i) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund entitled to vote thereon present at the meeting if the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares are present in person or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of such outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote thereon. The shares of each Fund will be counted using dollar-based voting. This means that each share of a Fund will represent a number of votes equal to that share’s net asset value on the record date. For purposes of determining the approval of the New Advisory Agreements, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as shares voted against the proposal. An unfavorable vote on the proposal to approve the New Advisory Agreement by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of the proposal by another Fund if the proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Fund. However, the proposal will only take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is conditioned upon obtaining the approval of new investment advisory agreements by shareholders of Janus funds representing a specified percentage of assets under management. Proposal 2: Approval of New Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with Current Sub-Adviser. Shareholders of each INTECH Fund, each Perkins Fund and Janus Asia Equity Fund will vote separately on Proposal 2. To become effective with respect to a Fund, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement must be approved by a 1940 Act Majority of the applicable Fund, with all classes of shares voting together as a single class. The shares of each Fund will be counted using dollar-based voting. This means that each share of a Fund will represent the number of votes equal to that share’s net asset value on the record date. For purposes of determining the approval of each New Sub-Advisory Agreement, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as shares voted against the proposal.

33

An unfavorable vote on the proposal to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of the proposal by another Fund if the proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Fund. However, the proposal will only take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is conditioned upon obtaining the approval of new investment advisory agreements by shareholders of Janus funds representing a specified percentage of assets under management. Proposal 3: Approval of HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement. Shareholders of each HIML Fund will vote separately on Proposal 3. To become effective with respect to a Fund, the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement must be approved by a 1940 Act Majority of the Fund, with all classes of shares voting together as a single class. The shares of each Fund will be counted using dollar-based voting. This means that each share of a Fund will represent a number of votes equal to that share’s net asset value on the record date. For purposes of determining the approval of the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as shares voted against the proposal. An unfavorable vote on the proposal to approve the HIML Sub-Advisory Agreement by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of the proposal by the other Fund if the proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Fund. However, the proposal will only take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is conditioned upon obtaining the approval of new investment advisory agreements by shareholders of Janus funds representing a specified percentage of assets under management. Proposal 4: Trustee Election. Election of an additional Trustee will be determined by the affirmative vote of a plurality (the greatest number of affirmative votes) of the shares with respect to each fund in the Trust. All series of the Trust, including certain funds not included in this Proxy Statement, are being solicited with respect to the election of the Trustee Nominee pursuant to separate proxy statements. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of 30% of the aggregate total shares entitled to vote of all funds in the Trust constitutes a quorum at the Meeting with respect to this Proposal 4, with all classes of shares of a fund voting together as a single class. Proposal 5: Approval of Manager of Managers Proposal. Shareholders of each Fund (except for INTECH Emerging Markets Managed Volatility Fund and Janus Adaptive Global Allocation Fund) will vote separately on Proposal 5. To become effective with respect to a Fund, the Manager of Managers Proposal must be approved by a 1940 Act Majority of the Fund, with all classes of shares voting together as a single class. The shares of each Fund will be counted using dollar-based voting. This means that each share of a Fund will represent the number of votes equal to that share’s net asset value on the record date. For purposes of determining the approval of the Manager of Managers Proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as shares voted against the proposal. An unfavorable vote on the Manager of Managers Proposal by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of the Manager of Managers Proposal by another Fund if the Manager of Managers Proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Fund. Fund Share Ownership The number of outstanding shares and net assets of each class of each Fund, as applicable, as of the close of business on the Record Date, is included in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. Beneficial owners of 5% or more of the outstanding shares of each class of each Fund are provided in Appendix M to this Proxy Statement. To the best knowledge of the Trust, no person or entity beneficially owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of a Fund except as stated in Appendix M. To the best knowledge of the Trust, entities shown as owning 25% or more of a Fund, unless otherwise indicated, are not the beneficial owners of such shares. Solicitation of Proxies Janus Capital will pay the fees and expenses related to each proposal, including the cost of the preparation of these proxy materials and their distribution, and all other costs incurred with the solicitation of proxies, the Meeting, including any additional solicitation made by letter, telephone, or otherwise. In addition to solicitation of proxies by mail, certain officers and representatives of the Trust, certain officers and employees of the Adviser or its affiliates, and certain financial services firms and their representatives, without extra compensation, or a solicitor, may conduct additional solicitations personally, by telephone, U.S. mail, verbal, internet, email, or by any other means available.

34

Janus Capital has engaged Computershare, a professional proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Funds, at an estimated cost of $15,543,000 plus any out-of-pocket expenses. Such expenses will be paid by Janus Capital. Among other things, Computershare will be: (i) required to maintain the confidentiality of all shareholder information; (ii) prohibited from selling or otherwise disclosing shareholder information to any third party; and (iii) required to comply with applicable telemarketing laws. Brokers, banks, and other fiduciaries may be required to forward soliciting material to their principals on behalf of a Fund and to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. To the extent Janus Capital or a Fund would have directly borne the expenses for those services, Janus Capital will reimburse these intermediaries for their expenses. The Board has determined that the use of this Proxy Statement is in the best interest of each Fund in light of the similar proposals being considered and voted on by the shareholders of each Fund. Certain other Janus funds, not listed in this Proxy Statement, will also hold meetings of shareholders with similar proposals. If you were also a shareholder of record of one or more of those other funds on the record date established for the meetings of shareholders of such other funds, you will receive a separate proxy statement and proxy card(s) relating to those funds. As the Meeting date approaches, certain shareholders whose votes have not been received may receive telephone calls from a representative of Computershare. Authorization to permit Computershare to execute proxies may be obtained by telephonic or electronically transmitted instructions from shareholders of each Fund. Proxies that are obtained telephonically will be recorded in accordance with the procedures described below. Janus Capital believes that these procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that both the identity of the shareholder casting the vote and the voting instructions of the shareholder are accurately determined. In all cases where a telephonic proxy is solicited, the Computershare representative is required to ask for each shareholder’s full name, address, title (if the shareholder is authorized to act on behalf of an entity, such as a corporation), and to confirm that the shareholder has received the Proxy Statement and proxy card(s) in the mail. If the information solicited agrees with the information provided to Computershare, then Computershare’s representative has the responsibility to explain the process, and ask for the shareholder’s instructions on the proposals. Although the Computershare representative is permitted to answer questions about the process, he or she is not permitted to recommend to the shareholder how to vote. The Computershare representative may read the recommendation set forth in this Proxy Statement. The Computershare representative will record the shareholder’s instructions. Within 72 hours, the shareholder will be sent a confirmation of his or her vote asking the shareholder to call 1-866-492-0863 immediately if his or her instructions are not accurately reflected in the confirmation. Telephone Touch-Tone Voting. Shareholders may provide their voting instructions through telephone touch-tone voting by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card(s). Shareholders will have an opportunity to review their voting instructions and make any necessary changes before submitting their voting instructions and terminating their telephone call. Internet Voting. Shareholders may provide their voting instructions through Internet voting by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card(s). Shareholders who vote via the Internet, in addition to confirming their voting instructions prior to submission and terminating their Internet voting session, will, upon request, receive an e-mail confirming their voting instructions. If a shareholder wishes to participate in the Meeting but does not wish to give a proxy by telephone or via the Internet, the shareholder may still submit the proxy card(s) originally sent with the Proxy Statement in the postage-paid envelope provided or otherwise mailed or provided to the shareholder, or attend the Meeting in person. Shareholders requiring additional information regarding the proxy or replacement proxy card(s) may contact Computershare at 1-866-492-0863. Any proxy given by a shareholder is revocable until voted at the Meeting. Revoking a Proxy. Any shareholder submitting a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is exercised at the Meeting by submitting to the Secretary of the Trust at 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206, a written notice of revocation or a subsequently executed proxy or voting instruction, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person. All properly executed and unrevoked proxies received in time for the Meeting will be voted as specified in the proxy or, if no specification is made, will be voted FOR the proposal(s), as described in this Proxy Statement. Shares Held by Accounts of Insurance Companies. Shares of the Funds may be held by certain separate accounts of insurance companies to fund benefits payable under certain variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. Your insurance company may request that you provide it with voting instructions for your beneficially held shares of any such separate account. If you do not provide voting instructions to your insurance company, it may vote all of your beneficially held

35

shares in that separate account in the same proportions as the voting actually received from its other variable contract holders for that separate account. Attending the Meeting. If you wish to attend the Meeting and vote in person, you will be able to do so. If you intend to attend the Meeting in person and you are a record holder of a Fund’s shares, in order to gain admission you may be asked to show photographic identification, such as your driver’s license. If you intend to attend the Meeting in person and you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other intermediary, in order to gain admission you may be asked to show photographic identification, such as your driver’s license, and satisfactory proof of ownership of shares of a Fund, such as your voting instruction form (or a copy thereof) or broker’s statement indicating ownership as of a recent date. If you hold your shares in a brokerage account or through a bank or other intermediary you will not be able to vote in person at the Meeting unless you have previously requested and obtained a “legal proxy” from your broker, bank or other intermediary and present it at the Meeting. You may contact Computershare at 1-866-492-0863 to obtain directions to the site of the Meeting. Shareholder Proposals for Subsequent Meetings The Trust is not required, and do not intend, to hold annual shareholder meetings. Shareholder meetings may be called from time to time as described in the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Trust. Under the proxy rules of the SEC, shareholder proposals that meet certain conditions may be included in a Fund’s proxy statement for a particular meeting. Those rules currently require that for future meetings, the shareholder must be a record or beneficial owner of Fund shares either (i) with a value of at least $2,000 or (ii) in an amount representing at least 1% of the Fund’s securities to be voted at the time the proposal is submitted and for one year prior thereto, and must continue to own such shares through the date on which the meeting is held. Another requirement relates to the timely receipt by a Fund of any such proposal. Under those rules, a proposal must have been submitted within a reasonable time before the Fund began to print and mail this Proxy Statement in order to be included in this Proxy Statement. A proposal submitted for inclusion in a Fund’s proxy material for the next special meeting after the meeting to which this Proxy Statement relates must be received by the Fund within a reasonable time before the Fund begins to print and mail the proxy materials for that meeting. A shareholder wishing to submit a proposal for inclusion in a proxy statement subsequent to the Meeting, if any, should send the written proposal to the Secretary of the Trust at 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206, within a reasonable time before a Fund begins to print and mail the proxy materials for that meeting. Notice of shareholder proposals to be presented at the Meeting must have been received within a reasonable time before the Funds began to mail this Proxy Statement. The timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee its inclusion in the proxy materials. Shareholder Communications The Trustees provide for shareholders to send written communications to the Trustees via regular mail. Written communications to the Trustees, or to an individual Trustee, should be sent to the attention of the Trust’s Secretary at the address of the Trust’s principal executive office. All such communications received by the Trust’s Secretary shall be promptly forwarded to the individual Trustee to whom they are addressed or to the full Board of Trustees, as applicable. If a communication does not indicate a specific Trustee, it will be sent to the Chairperson of the Nominating and Governance Committee and the independent counsel to the Trustees for further distribution, as deemed appropriate by such persons. The Trustees may further develop and refine this process as deemed necessary or desirable. Reports to Shareholders and Financial Statements The annual report to shareholders of the Funds, including financial statements of each Fund, has previously been sent to shareholders. The Funds provide annual and semiannual reports to their shareholders that highlight relevant information, including investment results and a review of portfolio changes. Additional copies of the Funds’ most recent annual report and any more recent semiannual report are available, without charge, by calling a Janus representative at 1-877-335-2687 (or 1-800-525-3713 if you hold shares directly with Janus Services), via the Internet at janus.com/info (or janus.com/reports if you hold shares directly with Janus Services), or by sending a written request to the Secretary of the Trust at 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206. To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, the Funds may mail only one copy of each report or this Proxy Statement to shareholders having the same last name and address on the Funds’ records. The consolidation of these mailings benefits the Funds through reduced mailing expenses. With respect to Class D Shares, if a shareholder wants to receive multiple copies of these materials or to receive only one copy in the future, the shareholder should contact the Funds’ transfer 36

agent, Janus Services, at 1-800-525-3713 or notify the Funds’ transfer agent in writing at P.O. Box 55932, Boston, Massachusetts 02205-5932. Other Matters to Come Before the Meeting The Board of Trustees is not aware of any matters that will be presented for action at the Meeting other than the matters described in this Proxy Statement. Should any other matter requiring a vote of shareholders arise, the proxy in the accompanying form will confer upon the person or persons entitled to vote the shares represented by such proxy the discretionary authority to vote the shares as to any other matters, in accordance with their best judgment in the interest of the Trust and/or Funds. Please vote by Internet or telephone promptly, or complete, date, sign and return the enclosed proxy card(s). No postage is required if you mail your proxy card(s) in the United States. By Order of the Board of Trustees,

Bruce L. Koepfgen President and Chief Executive Officer of Janus Investment Fund

Additional Information Regarding Performance Fees:

For each Fund listed in the chart below (and as noted in the chart above), the investment advisory fee rate is determined by calculating a base fee (shown in the previous table) and applying a performance adjustment (described in further detail below). The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the base fee rate depending on how well each Fund has performed relative to its benchmark index (“Performance Fee Benchmark”) as shown below: Benchmark Index

Perkins Large Cap Value Fund Perkins Mid Cap Value Fund

The calculation of the performance adjustment applies as follows: Investment Advisory Fee = Base Fee Rate +/– Performance Adjustment The investment advisory fee rate paid to the Adviser by each Fund in the table above 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 during the applicable performance measurement period. The performance measurement period is the previous 36 months. As an example, if the Fund outperformed its Performance Fee Benchmark over the 36-month performance measurement period by its full performance rate (listed in the table above), the advisory fee rate would increase by a full 0.15% (assuming constant assets). Conversely, if the Fund underperformed its Performance Fee Benchmark over the performance measurement period by its full performance rate, the advisory fee rate would decrease by a full 0.15% (assuming constant assets). No performance adjustment is applied unless the difference between the Fund’s investment performance and the cumulative investment record of the Fund’s Performance Fee Benchmark is 0.50% or greater (positive or negative) during the applicable performance measurement period. The Base Fee Rate is subject to an upward or downward performance adjustment for every full 0.50% increment by which the Fund outperforms or underperforms the Performance Fee Benchmark. Actual performance within the C-3

full range of the performance rate may result in positive or negative incremental adjustments to the advisory fee rate of greater or lesser than 0.15%. Because the Performance Adjustment is tied to a Fund’s relative performance compared to its Performance Fee Benchmark (and not its absolute performance), the Performance Adjustment could increase the Adviser’s fee even if the Fund’s shares lose value during the performance measurement period and could decrease the Adviser’s fee even if the Fund’s shares increase in value during the performance measurement period. For purposes of computing the Base Fee Rate and the Performance Adjustment, net assets are averaged over different periods (average daily net assets during the previous month for the Base Fee Rate, versus average daily net assets during the performance measurement period for the Performance Adjustment). Performance of a Fund is calculated net of expenses whereas a Fund’s Performance Fee Benchmark does not have any fees or expenses. Reinvestment of dividends and distributions is included in calculating both the performance of a Fund and the Fund’s Performance Fee Benchmark. The Base Fee Rate is calculated and accrued daily. The Performance Adjustment is calculated monthly in arrears and is accrued throughout the month. The investment advisory fee is paid monthly in arrears. Under extreme circumstances involving underperformance by a rapidly shrinking Fund, the dollar amount of the Performance Adjustment could be more than the dollar amount of the Base Fee Rate. In such circumstances, the Adviser would reimburse the applicable Fund. The application of an expense limit, if any, can have a positive effect upon a Fund’s performance and may result in an increase in the Performance Adjustment. It is possible that the cumulative dollar amount of additional compensation ultimately payable to the Adviser may, under some circumstances, exceed the cumulative dollar amount of management fees waived by Janus Capital. The investment performance of a Fund’s Class A Shares (waiving the upfront sales load) for the performance measurement period is used to calculate the Performance Adjustment. After the Adviser determines whether a particular Fund’s performance was above or below its Performance Fee Benchmark by comparing the investment performance of the Fund’s load-waived Class A Shares against the cumulative investment record of that Fund’s Performance Fee Benchmark, the Adviser applies the same Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) across each other class of shares of the Fund, as applicable. It is not possible to predict the effect of the Performance Adjustment on future overall compensation to the Adviser since it depends on the performance of each Fund relative to the record of the Fund’s Performance Fee Benchmark and future changes to the size of each Fund.

The following table shows the compensation paid to each Trustee by each Fund for the Fund’s fiscal year ended in 2016, as well as the total compensation paid by all of the Janus Funds during the calendar year 2016. None of the Trustees receives any pension or retirement benefits from the Funds or the Janus Funds. The Trustees have established a deferred compensation plan under which a Trustee may elect to defer receipt of all, or a portion, of the compensation earned for services to the Funds and the Janus Funds, in lieu of receiving current payments of such compensation. Any deferred amount is treated as though an equivalent dollar amount has been invested in shares of one or more funds advised by Janus Capital as selected by the Trustee (“shadow investments”).

Appendix L Nominating and Governance Committee Charter JANUS ASPEN SERIES JANUS INVESTMENT FUND (Adopted December 5, 2000; Revised December 10, 2001; December 10, 2002; September 16, 2003; March 16, 2004; June 15, 2004; June 14, 2005; June 14, 2006; June 20, 2008; July 6, 2009; June 24, 2010; June 23, 2011; June 21, 2012; June 16, 2016) I.

PURPOSE

The Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Committee”) is a committee of the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) of each of Janus Aspen Series and Janus Investment Fund (each a “Trust” and, together, the “Trusts” and each series thereof, a “Fund”). Its primary functions are to: • • •

II.

identify and recommend individuals for Trustee membership, consult with management and the Chair of the Trustees in planning Trustee meetings, and oversee the administration of, and ensure compliance with, the Governance Procedures and Guidelines (the “Procedures and Guidelines”) adopted by the Trusts as in effect from time to time.

COMPOSITION

The Committee shall be comprised of three or more Independent Trustees, who shall be designated by a majority vote of the Trustees. Independent Trustees are those Trustees of the Trusts who are not “interested persons” of the Trusts, as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and who meet the standards for independence set forth in the Procedures and Guidelines. The members and Chair of the Committee shall be elected by the Trustees annually and serve until their respective successors shall be duly elected and qualified. III.

MEETINGS

The Committee shall meet four times annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate. Special meetings (including telephone meetings) may be called by the Chair or a majority of the members of the Committee upon reasonable notice to the other members of the Committee. The presence in person or by telephone of a majority of the number of Committee members shall constitute a quorum at any meeting. If a quorum is not present, the member(s) of the Committee who is/are present may select any other Independent Trustee(s) to serve on the Committee for such meeting to constitute a quorum. The Committee may ask management and representatives of the Trusts’ servicing agents to attend meetings and provide pertinent information as appropriate. IV.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES

In performing its duties, the Committee will maintain effective working relationships with the Trustees and management. To effectively perform his or her role, each Committee member will obtain an understanding of the detailed responsibilities of Committee membership. Each Committee member will also achieve an understanding of the Trusts’ separation of duties and responsibilities among the investment adviser, sub-adviser(s), if any, custodian, transfer agent, fund accounting function and principal accounting officer, and the risks associated with such responsibilities. The duties and responsibilities of a Committee member shall be in addition to his or her duties as a Trustee and include responsibility to prepare for, attend to the extent possible, and actively participate in Committee meetings. Members may pursue training related to their responsibilities. A.

Trustee Nominations, Elections, and Training The Committee shall: 1.

Identify and nominate candidates for appointment as Trustees of the Trusts. The principal criterion for selection of candidates is their ability to contribute to the overall functioning of the Boards and to carry out the responsibilities of the Trustees. The Trustees, collectively, should represent a broad cross section of backgrounds, functional disciplines, and experience. In addition, in considering a potential L-1

candidate’s qualifications to serve as a Trustee of a Trust, the Committee may take into account a wide variety of criteria, including, but not limited to: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f)

(g) (h)

(i) (j)

The candidate’s knowledge in matters related to the investment company industry, any professional licenses, designations, or certifications currently or previously held; The candidate’s relevant experience, including as a director or senior officer of public or private companies, or service as a director/trustee of a registered investment company; The candidate’s educational background; The candidate’s reputation for high ethical standards and personal and professional integrity; Any specific financial, technical or other expertise possessed by the candidate, and the extent to which such expertise would complement the Trustees’ existing mix of skills and qualifications; The candidate’s willingness to serve, and willingness and ability to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Trustee, including high attendance at regular and special meetings and participation in committee activities as needed; The candidate must exhibit stature commensurate with the responsibility of representing Fund shareholders; If the nomination is for an “independent” trustee, the candidate must not be considered an “interested” person of the Fund, Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus Capital”), or any sub-adviser to a Fund or Janus Distributors LLC, as defined under the 1940 Act; The candidate must otherwise be qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a trustee of the applicable Trust; and Such other criteria as the Committee determines to be relevant in light of the existing composition of the Board, number of Board members and any anticipated vacancies or other factors.

Although Janus Capital, current Trustees, current shareholders of a Fund and any other person or entity that may be deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee, may submit to the Committee suggested candidates for Trustees, neither the Committee nor the Independent Trustees as a group shall consider those candidates on a preferential basis as opposed to other possible candidates. Shareholders may submit the name of a candidate for consideration by the Committee by submitting their recommendations to the Trusts’ Secretary in accordance with the Procedures for Consideration of Trustee Candidates Submitted by Shareholders (“Shareholder Nomination Procedures”) attached as Appendix 1. The Trusts’ Secretary will forward all such recommendations to the Chair of the Committee (or his designee) promptly upon receipt, and, for shareholder recommendations, in accordance with the Shareholder Nomination Procedures. The Committee may use any process it deems appropriate for the purpose of evaluating candidates, which process may include, without limitation, personal interviews, background checks, written submissions by the candidates and third party references. The Committee shall be empowered to use Trust assets to retain consultants and other professionals to assist in the process of evaluating candidates. There is no difference in the manner by which the Committee will evaluate nominees when the nominee is submitted by a shareholder. The Committee reserves the right to make the final selection regarding the nomination of any Trustee of a Trust and to recommend such nomination to the Independent Trustees of the applicable Trust. 2.

Review periodically the composition and size of the Board of Trustees to determine whether it may be appropriate to add individuals with backgrounds or skill sets different from those of the current Trustees.

3.

Oversee arrangements for orientation of new Independent Trustees, continuing education for the Independent Trustees, and an annual evaluation of the performance of the Independent Trustees in accordance with the Procedures and Guidelines.

L-2

B.

Committee Nominations and Functions The Committee shall:

C.

1.

Identify and recommend individuals for membership on all committees, recommend individuals to chair committees, and review committee assignments at least annually.

2.

Review as necessary the responsibilities of each committee, whether there is a continuing need for each committee, whether there is a need for additional committees, and whether committees should be combined or reorganized.

Governance Oversight The Committee shall: 1.

Oversee the governance processes and activities of the Trustees to assure conformity to the Procedures and Guidelines.

2.

Recommend an Independent Trustee of the Trust for appointment by the Trustees as Chair of the Trustees, as described in each Trust’s Declaration of Trust or Trust Instrument, or by-laws. The Chair of the Trustees may perform the following functions:

Trustee Meeting Planning The Committee shall consult with management in planning Trustee meetings and may from time to time recommend agenda items, or request presentations from particular service providers, consultants, or portfolio managers, either to the Committee or the Trustees.

E.

Other Responsibilities and Duties The Committee shall: 1.

Review annually the compensation of the Independent Trustees and determine whether to recommend to the Trustees any change in the schedule of compensation. The Committee may also recommend that the Trustees authorize the payment of supplemental compensation to any one or more Independent Trustees in view of special responsibilities assumed, services rendered or any other appropriate factors.

2.

Authorize and oversee investigations into any matters within the Committee’s scope of responsibilities. The Committee shall be empowered to use Trust assets to retain independent counsel, consultants, and other professionals to assist in the conduct of any investigation or to advise the Committee. Janus Capital will report any use of Trust assets for such purpose quarterly to the Trustees.

3.

Lead the Trustees’ annual self-assessment process.

4.

Review this Charter at least annually and recommend changes, if any, to the Trustees.

5.

Perform any other activities consistent with this Charter, each Trust’s Declaration of Trust or Trust Instrument, by-laws, and governing law as the Committee or Trustees deem necessary or appropriate. L-3

Appendix 1 JANUS INVESTMENT FUND JANUS ASPEN SERIES (each a “Trust,” and together, the “Trusts,” and each series of a Trust, a “Fund”) PROCEDURES FOR CONSIDERATION OF TRUSTEE CANDIDATES SUBMITTED BY SHAREHOLDERS (Adopted March 16, 2004; Revised July 6, 2009; Revised June 24, 2010; June 23, 2011) The Trusts’ Nominating and Governance Committee (“Committee”) is responsible for identifying and nominating candidates for appointment as Trustees of the Trusts. Shareholders of a Fund may submit names of potential candidates for nomination as Trustee of a Trust in accordance with these Procedures. A candidate for nomination as Trustee of a Trust submitted by a shareholder will not be deemed to be properly submitted to the Committee for the Committee’s consideration unless the following qualifications have been met and procedures followed: 1. A shareholder of a Fund who wishes to nominate a candidate for election to a Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Nominating Shareholder”) must submit any such recommendation in writing via regular mail to the attention of the Secretary of the Trust, at the address of the principal executive offices of the Trust (“Shareholder Recommendation”). 2. The Shareholder Recommendation must include: (i) the class or series and number of all shares of the Fund owned beneficially or of record by the Nominating Shareholder at the time the recommendation is submitted and the dates on which such shares were acquired, specifying the number of shares owned beneficially; (ii) a full listing of the proposed candidate’s education, experience (including knowledge of the investment company industry, any professional licenses, designations or certifications currently or previously held, any non-profit activities relevant to board services, experience as a director or senior officer of public or private companies, and directorships on other boards or other boards of other registered investment companies), current employment, date of birth, business and residence address, and the names and addresses of at least three professional references; (iii) information as to whether the candidate is or may be an “interested person” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Fund, Janus Capital Management LLC, or any sub-adviser to a Fund, and, if believed not to be an “interested person,” information regarding the candidate that will be sufficient for the Fund to make such determination; (iv) the written and signed consent of the candidate to be named as a nominee and to serve as a Trustee of the Trust, if elected; (v) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the Nominating Shareholder, the candidate and/or any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the Shareholder Recommendation is being made, and if none, so specify; (vi) the class or series and number of all shares of the Fund owned of record or beneficially by the candidate, as reported by the candidate; and (vii) such other information that would be helpful to the Committee in evaluating the candidate. 3. The Committee may require the Nominating Shareholder to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require or deem necessary to verify any information furnished pursuant to paragraph 2 above or to determine the qualifications and eligibility of the candidate proposed by the Nominating Shareholder to serve as a Trustee of a Trust. If the Nominating Shareholder fails to provide such other information in writing within fourteen days of receipt of written request from the Committee, the recommendation of such candidate as a nominee will be deemed not properly submitted for consideration, and the Committee is not required to consider such candidate. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee chair (or his designee) or by outside counsel to the independent Trustees, the Secretary of the Trust (or her designee) will promptly forward all Shareholder Recommendations to the Committee chair (or his designee) and the outside counsel to the independent Trustees of the Trust, indicating whether the Shareholder Recommendation has been properly submitted pursuant to these Procedures. Recommendations for candidates as Trustees of a Trust will be evaluated, among other things, in light of whether the number of Trustees is expected to change and whether the Trustees expect any vacancies. When the Committee is not actively recruiting new Trustees, Shareholder Recommendations will be kept on file until active recruitment is under way.

Trustees and officers as 159,579.604 5.7% a group As of December 29, 2016, each Trustee and officer of the Fund, individually, owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of such class of shares.

In addition, an investment by Janus Capital’s funds of funds may comprise a significant percentage of a share class or a Fund.

M-1

As of December 29, 2016, the percentage ownership of any person or entity owning 5% or more of the outstanding Shares of any class of the Funds is listed below. Any person or entity that beneficially owns, directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25% of the voting securities of a company is presumed to “control” such company. Accordingly, to the extent that a person or entity is identified as the beneficial owner of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund, or is identified as the record owner of more than 25% of a Fund and has voting and/or investment powers, that person or entity may be presumed to control such Fund. A controlling shareholder’s vote could have a more significant effect on matters presented to shareholders for approval than the vote of other Fund shareholders. In addition, a large redemption by a controlling shareholder could significantly reduce the asset size of a Fund, which may adversely affect the Fund’s investment flexibility, portfolio diversification, and expense ratio. As of December 29, 2016, each of William H. Gross, portfolio manager of Janus Global Unconstrained Bond Fund, and Robert Perkins, co-portfolio manager of Perkins Select Value Fund, are deemed to control each respective Fund by virtue of owning more than 25% of the outstanding Shares of the Fund. To the extent that Janus Capital, an affiliate, or an individual, such as a Fund’s portfolio manager(s), owns a significant portion of the Shares of any class of a Fund or a Fund as a whole, the redemption of those Shares may have an adverse effect on the Fund, a share class, and/or its shareholders. Janus Capital may consider the effect of redemptions on such Fund and the Fund’s other shareholders in deciding whether to redeem its Shares. In certain circumstances, Janus Capital’s or Janus’s ownership may not represent beneficial ownership.

Schedule A Performance Adjustment The Base Fee shall be adjusted monthly based upon the investment performance of the [For all Funds: Class A Shares (waiving the upfront sales load) (“Class”)] in relation to the cumulative investment record of the Fund’s benchmark, [For Janus Contrarian Fund: the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index] [For Janus Asia Equity Fund: the MSCI All Country Asia ex-Japan IndexSM] [For Janus Forty Fund: the Russell 1000® Growth Index] [For Janus Global Real Estate Fund: the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Index] [For Janus Overseas Fund: the MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. IndexSM] [For Janus Research Fund: the Russell 1000® Growth Index] [For Janus Global Research Fund and Perkins Global Value Fund: the MSCI World IndexSM] [For Perkins Large Cap Value Fund: the Russell 1000® Value Index] [For Perkins Mid Cap Value Fund: the Russell Midcap® Value Index] [For Perkins Small Cap Value Fund: the Russell 2000® Value Index] (the “Index”), over the “Performance Period” (such adjustment being referred to herein as the “Performance Adjustment”). The “Performance Period” is defined as the 36 month period preceding the end of the month for which the fee is being calculated. [For Perkins Select Value Fund: The Index shall be the Russell 3000 Value Index. The Trustees may, by vote of the Trustees of the Trust voting in person, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, designate an alternative appropriate index for purposes of calculating the Performance Adjustment (a “Successor Index”). For purposes of calculating the Performance Adjustment for any Performance Period that commences prior to the implementation date of a Successor Index, the index in place prior to a Successor Index (“Prior Index”) shall be used for that portion of the period preceding the implementation date of a Successor Index, and, for any Performance Period that ends after the implementation date of a Successor Index, the Successor Index shall be used for that portion of the period occurring on or after the implementation date of a Successor Index.] [For all Funds except Janus Global Real Estate Fund and Perkins Select Value Fund:] The Performance Adjustment shall be calculated by subtracting the investment record of the Index from the investment performance of the class. If there is less than a 0.50% difference (plus or minus) between the investment performance of the Class and the investment record of the Index, the Fund pays the Adviser the Base Fee with no adjustment. If the difference between the investment performance of the Class and the investment record of the Index is 0.50% or greater during any Performance Period, the Base Fee will be subject to an upward or downward performance adjustment of [For Janus Global Research Fund: 1/12 of 0.0125%] [For Perkins Mid Cap Value Fund: 1/12 of 0.01875%] [For Janus Forty Fund: 1/12 of 0.0088235%] [For Janus Asia Equity Fund, Janus Contrarian Fund, Janus Overseas Fund and Perkins Global Value Fund: 1/12 of 0.0107143%] [For Janus Research Fund and Perkins Select Value Fund: 1/12 of 0.015%] [For Perkins Large Cap Value Fund: 1/12 of 0.02143%] [For Perkins Small Cap Value Fund: 1/12 of 0.01667%] for every full 0.50% increment by which the Class outperforms or underperforms the Index. The maximum percentage used in calculating the Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) in any month is 1/12 of 0.15%. The Performance Adjustment is applied against the Fund’s average daily net assets during the Performance Period.] [For Janus Global Real Estate Fund: The Performance Adjustment for any month commencing in July 2010 shall be derived from the difference between: (1) the positive or negative Total Return of the Shares of the Fund over the Performance Period ending at the end of the next preceding month, less (2) the positive or negative percentage change in the benchmark index over that period (or sum of the percentage changes in the benchmark indexes if two benchmarks are used during that period). If the difference is less than a positive or negative 0.50%, the Fund shall pay the Base Fee for that month, without a Performance Adjustment. If the difference is 0.50% or more, the Fund shall pay the Base Fee plus or minus a Performance Adjustment of 1/12 of 0.01875% for each full positive or negative 0.50% of the Performance Adjustment multiplied by the average daily net assets of the Fund during the Performance Period, provided, however, that a Performance Adjustment for any month shall not exceed 1/12 of 0.15% of the average net assets during the Performance Period.] [For Perkins Select Value Fund: The Performance Adjustment shall be calculated by subtracting the investment record of the Index or the blended investment record of a Prior Index and a Successor Index, as applicable (“Blended Index”) from the investment performance of the Fund’s Class A Shares. If there is less than a 0.50% difference (plus or minus) between the investment performance of the Class and the investment record of the Index or Blended Index, the Fund pays the Adviser the Base Fee with no adjustment. If the difference between the investment performance of the Class and the investment record of the Index is 0.50% or greater during any Performance Period, the Base Fee will be N-14

subject to an upward or downward performance adjustment of 1/12 of 0.015% for every full 0.50% increment by which the Class outperforms or underperforms the Index or Blended Index. The maximum percentage used in calculating the Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) in any month is 1/12 of 0.15%. The Performance Adjustment is applied against the Fund’s average daily net assets during the Performance Period.] For purposes of computing the Base Fee and the Performance Adjustment, net assets are averaged over different periods (average daily net assets during the relevant month for the Base Fee versus average daily net assets during the Performance Period for the Performance Adjustment). The Base Fee is calculated and accrued daily. The Performance Adjustment is calculated monthly in arrears and is accrued daily, beginning no later than the second business day of the month, and thereafter, the amount is distributed evenly throughout the month. The investment advisory fee is paid monthly in arrears. The average daily net asset value of the Fund, or any class thereof, shall be determined in the manner set forth in the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, Bylaws and registration statement, each as may be amended from time to time. [For all Funds except Janus Global Real Estate Fund:] The investment performance of the Class will be the sum of: (1) the change in the Class’ net asset value (“NAV”) per share during the Performance Period; plus (2) the value of the Class’ cash distributions per share accumulated to the end of the Performance Period; plus (3) the value of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed realized long-term capital gains accumulated to the end of the Performance Period; expressed as a percentage of the Class’ NAV per share at the beginning of the Performance Period. For this purpose, the value of distributions per share of realized capital gains, of dividends per share paid from investment income and of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed realized long-term capital gains shall be treated as reinvested in shares of the Class at the NAV in effect at the close of business on the record date for the payment of such distributions and dividends and the date on which provision is made for such taxes, after giving effect to such distributions, dividends and taxes. [For Janus Global Real Estate Fund:] The Total Return of the Shares will be the sum of: (1) the change in the net asset value per share of the Shares (“NAV”) during the Performance Period; plus (2) the value of the per share distributions accumulated on the Shares during the Performance Period; plus (3) the value of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed realized long-term capital gains accumulated to the end of the Performance Period; expressed as a percentage of the Shares’ NAV per share at the beginning of the Performance Period. For this purpose, the value of distributions per share of realized capital gains, of dividends per share paid from investment income and of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed realized long-term capital gains shall be treated as reinvested in the Shares at the NAV in effect at the close of business on the record date for the payment of such distributions and dividends and the date on which provision is made for such taxes, after giving effect to such distributions, dividends and taxes. [For all Funds except Janus Global Real Estate Fund and Perkins Select Value Fund:] The investment record of the Index will be the sum of: (1) the change in the level of the Index during the Performance Period; plus (2) the value, computed consistently with the Index, of cash distributions made by companies whose securities comprise the Index accumulated to the end of the Performance Period; expressed as a percentage of the Index level at the beginning of the Performance Period. For this purpose, cash distributions on the securities which comprise the Index shall be treated as reinvested in the Index at least as frequently as the end of each calendar quarter following the payment of the dividend. [For Janus Global Real Estate Fund:] The change in the benchmark index or indexes will be the sum of: (1) the change in the level of the index (or the blended change in the level of the indexes, as applicable) during the Performance Period; plus N-15

(2) the value, computed consistently with the index, of cash distributions made by companies whose securities comprise the index accumulated to the end of the Performance Period (or, as applicable, the value of cash distributions made by companies whose securities comprise the Prior Index, accumulated through June 30, 2010, plus the value of cash distributions made by companies whose securities comprise the Successor Index, accumulated on or after July 1, 2010 to the end of the Performance Period, in each computed consistently with the respective index), expressed as a percentage of the index level at the beginning of the Performance Period. For this purpose, cash distributions on the securities which comprise the index shall be treated as reinvested in the index at least as frequently as the end of each calendar quarter following the payment of the dividend. [For Perkins Select Value Fund:] The investment record of the Index will be the sum of: (1) the change in the level of the Index or Blended Index during the Performance Period; plus (2) the value, computed consistently with the Index (or each Prior Index or Successor Index, as applicable), of cash distributions made by companies whose securities comprise the applicable index accumulated to the end of the Performance Period; expressed as a percentage of the applicable index level at the beginning of the Performance Period. For this purpose, cash distributions on the securities which comprise the applicable index shall be treated as reinvested in the applicable index at least as frequently as the end of each calendar quarter following the payment of the dividend. The Trustees have designated the Class to be used for purposes of determining the Performance Adjustment. From time to time, the Trustees may, by vote of the Trustees of the Trust voting in person, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any such parties, determine that a class of shares of the Fund other than the Class is the most appropriate for use in calculating the Performance Adjustment. If a different class of shares (“Successor Class”) is substituted in calculating the Performance Adjustment, the use of that Successor Class of shares for purposes of calculating the Performance Adjustment may apply to the entire Performance Period so long as such Successor Class was outstanding at the beginning of such period. If the Successor Class of shares was not outstanding for all or a portion of the Performance Period, it may only be used in calculating that portion of the Performance Adjustment attributable to the period during which such Successor Class was outstanding and any prior portion of the Performance Period shall be calculated using the class of shares previously designated. [For Perkins Select Value Fund: Additionally, the Trustees may, by vote of a majority of the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, implement changes to the performance fee structure where such changes do not result in a net increased compensation paid under this Agreement, subject to applicable law, and orders, exemptions and interpretations as may be issued by the SEC.]
