FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
 
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold Shares of the Fund.
 
                 
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 		            Class D  
                 
Management Fees
    0.60%  
Other Expenses
    0.81%  
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (1)
    1.41%  
Fee Waiver (1)
    0.50%  
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver (1)
    0.91%  
(1)  Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (excluding administrative services fees payable pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement, brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) to 0.76% until at least November 1, 2013. The contractual waiver may be terminated or modified prior to this date only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. For a period of three years subsequent to the Fund’s commencement of operations (July 30, 2010), Janus Capital may recover from the Fund fees and expenses previously waived or reimbursed, which could then be considered a deferral, if the Fund’s expense ratio, including recovered expenses, falls below the expense limit.
 
EXAMPLE:
The following Example is based on expenses without waivers. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated, reinvest all dividends and distributions, and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of each period. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses without waivers or recoupments (if applicable) remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
 
                                 
    1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years
Class D Shares
  $  144     $  446     $  771     $  1,691  
 
Portfolio Turnover:  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 100% of the average value of its portfolio.
 
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
 
The Fund pursues its investment objective by normally investing 40-60% of its assets in equity securities selected primarily for capital appreciation and investing the remainder in fixed-income securities and cash equivalents.
 
Equity Securities. The Fund’s equity investments generate total return from a combination of capital appreciation and, to a lesser degree, current income. Such equity investments may include companies of any size, but the Fund will invest primarily in large- and mid-sized companies whose stock prices the portfolio managers believe to be undervalued or have the potential for high relative dividend yields, or both. The Fund’s equity portfolio managers invest in companies which have fallen out of favor with the market or that appear to be temporarily misunderstood by the investment community. The Fund’s equity portfolio managers generally look for companies with:
 
 
1  ï  Perkins Value Plus Income Fund

 

•  strong balance sheets and solid recurring free cash flows
•  attractive relative and absolute valuation ratios or that have underperformed recently
•  favorable reward to risk characteristics
 
Fixed-Income Securities. The Fund’s fixed-income investments generate total return from a combination of current income and capital appreciation, but income is usually the dominant portion. The Fund normally invests the portion of its assets allocated to fixed-income investments in debt securities (including, but not limited to, government bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, zero-coupon bonds, and bank loans), convertible securities, and short-term securities. The Fund invests at least 50% of the fixed-income portion of its assets in investment grade debt securities. The Fund will limit its investment in high-yield/high-risk bonds, also known as “junk” bonds, to 50% or less of the fixed-income portion of its net assets.
 
In addition to considering economic factors such as the effect of interest rates on the Fund’s fixed-income investments, the Fund’s fixed-income portfolio managers apply a “bottom up” approach in choosing investments. This means that the portfolio managers look at income-producing securities one at a time to determine if a security is an attractive investment opportunity and if it is consistent with the Fund’s investment policies.
 
The Fund may also invest in foreign equity and debt securities, which may include investments in emerging markets.
 
The Fund may also invest its assets in derivatives, which are instruments that have a value derived from or directly linked to an underlying asset, such as equity securities, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices. The Fund has and is expected to continue to buy and sell put and call options to enhance returns. The Fund’s exposure to derivatives will vary, is not limited to those derivatives listed, and could be significant at times. For more information on the Fund’s use of derivatives, refer to the Fund’s shareholder reports and Form N-Q reports, which are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Janus Capital is primarily responsible for the overall asset allocation of the Fund and manages the Fund’s fixed-income investments. Cash positions are considered a part of the Fund’s fixed-income allocation and will be managed by the Fund’s fixed-income portfolio managers. Perkins manages the Fund’s equity investments and assists the adviser in determining the Fund’s overall asset allocation. The Fund may periodically adjust its mix of equity and fixed-income investments in response to changing economic and market conditions, including outside the range of 40-60% of its assets in equity securities. Due to the nature of the fixed-income securities in which the Fund invests, it may have relatively high portfolio turnover compared to other funds.
 
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
 
The biggest risk is that the Fund’s returns and yields will vary, and you could lose money. The Fund is designed for long-term investors seeking a portfolio including common stocks and bonds selected for their potential to produce capital appreciation and current income. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.
 
Market Risk.  The value of the Fund’s portfolio may decrease if the value of an individual company or security, or multiple companies or securities, in the portfolio decreases or if the portfolio managers’ belief about a company’s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies or securities perform, the value of the Fund’s portfolio could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.
 
Value Investing Risk.  Because different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, “value” stocks may perform differently than other types of stocks and from the market as a whole, and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time. It is also possible that a value stock will never appreciate to the extent expected by the Fund’s equity portfolio managers.
 
Mid-Sized Companies Risk.  The Fund’s investments in securities issued by mid-sized companies may involve greater risks than are customarily associated with larger, more established companies. Securities issued by mid-sized companies tend to be more volatile than securities issued by larger or more established companies and may underperform as compared to the securities of larger companies.
 
Fixed-Income Securities Risk.  The Fund invests in a variety of fixed-income securities. Typically, the values of fixed-income securities change inversely with prevailing interest rates. Therefore, a fundamental risk of fixed-income securities is interest

 
 
2  ï  Janus Investment Fund

 

rate risk, which is the risk that their value will generally decline as prevailing interest rates rise, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to likewise decrease. How specific fixed-income securities may react to changes in interest rates will depend on the specific characteristics of each security. Fixed-income securities are also subject to credit risk, prepayment risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk that the credit strength of an issuer of a fixed-income security will weaken and/or that the issuer will be unable to make timely principal and interest payments and that the security may go into default. Prepayment risk is the risk that during periods of falling interest rates, certain fixed-income securities with higher interest rates, such as mortgage- and asset-backed securities, may be prepaid by their issuers thereby reducing the amount of interest payments. Valuation risk is the risk that one or more of the fixed-income securities in which the Fund invests are priced incorrectly due to factors such as incomplete data, market instability, or human error. Liquidity risk is the risk that fixed-income securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time that the Fund would like or at the price that the portfolio managers believe the security is currently worth.
 
Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk.  Mortgage-backed securities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than other types of securities. Investments in mortgage-backed securities are subject to both extension risk, where borrowers extend the duration of their mortgages in times of rising interest rates, and prepayment risk, where borrowers pay off their mortgages sooner than expected in times of declining interest rates. These risks may reduce the Fund’s returns. In addition, investments in mortgage-backed securities, including those comprised of subprime mortgages, may be subject to a higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk than various other types of fixed-income securities.
 
High-Yield/High-Risk Bond Risk.  High-yield/high-risk bonds may be more sensitive than other types of bonds to economic changes, political changes, or adverse developments specific to the company that issued the bond, which may adversely affect their value.
 
Bank Loan Risk.  Bank loans are obligations of companies or other entities entered into in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, and refinancings. The Fund’s investments in bank loans are generally acquired as a participation interest in, or assignment of, loans originated by a lender or other financial institution. These investments may include institutionally-traded floating and fixed-rate debt securities. Participation interests and assignments involve credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. In addition, the bank loans underlying these securities often involve borrowers with low credit ratings whose financial conditions are troubled or uncertain, including companies that are highly leveraged or in bankruptcy proceedings.
 
Real Estate Risk.  The Fund may be affected by risks associated with investments in real estate-related securities. The value of securities of issuers in the real estate and real estate-related industries, including real estate investment trusts, is sensitive to changes in real estate values and rental income, property taxes, interest rates, tax and regulatory requirements, supply and demand, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. These factors may impact the Fund’s investments in foreign real estate markets differently than U.S. real estate markets.
 
Foreign Exposure Risk.  The Fund may have significant exposure to foreign markets as a result of its investments in foreign securities, including investments in emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. In some foreign markets, there may not be protection against failure by other parties to complete transactions. It may not be possible for the Fund to repatriate capital, dividends, interest, and other income from a particular country or governmental entity. In addition, a market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Fund has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Fund’s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Fund’s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.
 
Derivatives Risk.  Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative’s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be complex instruments and may involve analysis that differs from that required for other investment types used by the Fund. If the value of a derivative does not correlate well with the particular market or other asset class to which the derivative is intended to provide exposure, the derivative may not produce the anticipated result. Derivatives can also reduce the opportunity for gain or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other investments. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations. If the counterparty to a derivative transaction defaults, the Fund would risk the loss of the net amount of the payments that it contractually is entitled to receive. To the extent the Fund enters into short derivative positions, the

Fund may be exposed to risks similar to those associated with short sales, including the risk that the Fund’s losses are theoretically unlimited.
 
Allocation Risk.  The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely upon the allocation of assets among the equity and fixed asset categories. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund as a result of these allocations. Portfolio management may favor an asset category that underperforms relative to other asset categories. For example, the Fund may be overweighted in equity securities when the stock market is falling and the fixed-income market is rising. Additionally, periodic rebalancing of Fund assets among asset categories may result in increased transaction costs, which may have a negative effect on the Fund’s performance.
 
Portfolio Turnover Risk.  Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher costs, which may have a negative effect on the Fund’s performance. In addition, higher portfolio turnover may result in the acceleration of capital gains and the recognition of greater levels of short-term capital gains, which are taxed at ordinary federal income tax rates when distributed to shareholders.
 
An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
 
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
