Mutual fund relative performance analysis shown is for each Fund's initial share class: Class T, S or I Shares in the Janus retail fund (“JIF”) trust and the Institutional or Service Shares in the Janus Aspen Series (“JAS”). These share classes may not be eligible for purchase by all investors. Other share classes may have higher sales and management fees, which can result in differences in performance. For the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ending December 31, 2010, 50%, 68%, 84% and 63% of the 36, 34, 31 and 24 Fundamental Equity mutual funds; 50%, 64%, 82% and 68% of the 44, 42, 38 and 28 Complex-Wide mutual funds; 50%, 100%, 100% and 100% of the 4 Fixed Income mutual funds; and 83%, 75%, 70% and 50% of the 12, 12, 10 and 8 Global/International mutual funds outperformed the majority of their Lipper peers based on total returns. On an asset-weighted basis, 75% of the 24 Fundamental Equity mutual funds; 77% of the 28 Complex-Wide mutual funds ; 100% of the 4 Fixed Income mutual funds; 81% of the 8 Global/International mutual funds outperformed the majority of their Lipper peers based on total returns for the 10-year period; 26% of the 4 Fixed Income mutual funds outperformed the majority of their Lipper peers for the 1-year period. Lipper performance on an asset weighted basis is calculated by taking all funds and assigning the assets under management ("AUM") in each respective fund to either the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th quartile bucket based on each fund's respective Lipper relative rankings. The total AUM of each quartile’s bucket is then divided by complex-wide total AUM to arrive at the respective percent of AUM in each bucket. Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds, fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Funds not ranked by Lipper are not included in the analysis. The Overall Morningstar RatingTM for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar RatingTM metrics. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar RatingTM based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of the funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Morningstar RatingTM may differ among share classes of a mutual fund as a result of different sales loads and/or expense structures. It may be based, in part, on the performance of a predecessor fund. Morningstar does not rank funds with less than a 3-year performance history. For the period ending December 31, 2010, 40%, 66% and 54% of Complex-Wide mutual funds had a 4- or 5-star Morningstar rating for the 3, 5- and 10-year periods based on risk-adjusted returns for 42, 38 and 28 funds, respectively. 42 funds were included in the analysis for the Overall period. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The value of your investment will fluctuate over time and you may gain or lose money. A fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with non-diversification, non-investment grade debt securities, high-yield/high-risk securities, undervalued or overlooked companies, investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest. Additional risks to funds may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, real estate investment trusts (REITs), derivatives, short sales and companies with relatively small market capitalizations.
