JANUS HENDERSON INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND
SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MAY 18, 2023
URGENT: Your vote is needed today!
Dear Shareholder:
The special meeting of shareholders of Janus Henderson International Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) to be held on May 18, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. MT, is quickly approaching, and our records indicate that we have not yet received your vote.
YOUR FUND’S BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE
PROPOSAL TO MERGE THE FUND INTO JANUS HENDERSON OVERSEAS FUND
Voting now helps avoid additional mailings,
and eliminates phone calls to shareholders.
In the event that the merger is not approved, the Fund’s Board of Trustees will determine what further
action, if any, to take. In such event, Janus Henderson may recommend the liquidation of the Fund.
