Subject Line: Janus Proxy Update
Dear [insert client name]
As communicated earlier, on September 22nd, Janus filed preliminary proxy
statements with the SEC recommending shareholder approval of a number of items
including the election of trustees and a change in the advisory fee structure
from an annual fixed fee to a performance-based advisory fee for several of the
Janus, Janus Aspen, and Janus Adviser series funds.
On October 28th we filed the definitive proxy statement and will begin mailing
to shareholders on or about Monday, October 31st. The meeting to approve the
various proposals is scheduled for November 22, 2005.
For those clients passing proxy materials through to end shareholders we
recognize that this leaves a tight time frame for you to complete the process.
We apologize for this inconvenience, but hope that we can work together to
achieve a vote by that date. Please let us know of anything that we can do to
achieve this goal. In addition, our proxy solicitor, Computershare, will be
coordinating with you as well.
To access a copy of the proxy, which includes a detailed Q&A, please use the
following link: https://www.janus.wallst.com/ipss/home.asp?user_id=institutional
If you have any questions, please call 1-877-33JANUS (52687). Thank you for your
continued support and trust in Janus.
Best Regards,
[insert sales person name]
