JANUS OLYMPUS FUND SHAREHOLDERS - HAVE YOU VOTED?
In August, you received voting instructions about the proposed merger of Janus
Olympus Fund into Janus Orion Fund. If you have not yet voted your shares,
please vote today. The Trustees for Janus Olympus Fund recommend that you vote
in favor of this proposal.
Janus Olympus Fund and Janus Orion Fund both pursue companies demonstrating
aggressive growth traits and rely on a go-anywhere approach. We believe that
merging the two funds will allow you to maintain your exposure to high-growth
areas of the market, while also enabling you to potentially benefit from Janus
Orion Fund's focused (nondiversified) investment approach utilized by Ron Sachs,
who manages both funds. We also believe there are other potential benefits such
as greater efficiency in portfolio management and operations, as well as
anticipated elimination of duplicative expenses.
Your vote is important no matter how many shares you own. PLEASE CALL
OUR PROXY SOLICITOR, D. F. KING & CO., INC. AT 1-800-628-8528 TO VOTE
YOUR SHARES TODAY.

PLEASE CONSIDER THE CHARGES, RISKS, EXPENSES AND INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES CAREFULLY
BEFORE INVESTING. PLEASE SEE A PROSPECTUS CONTAINING THIS AND OTHER INFORMATION.
READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU INVEST OR SEND MONEY.
A fund's performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with
nondiversification, non-investment grade debt securities, undervalued or
overlooked companies, investments in specific industries or countries and
potential conflicts of interest with Janus Smart Portfolios. Additional risks to
the fund(s) may include those associated with investing in foreign securities,
emerging markets, initial public offerings ("IPOs"), derivatives and companies
with relatively small market capitalizations. Please see a Janus prospectus or
janus.com for more information about risk, fund holdings and details.
Janus Orion Fund is classified as "nondiversified", meaning it has the ability
to take larger positions in a smaller number of issuers than a "diversified"
fund. Nondiversified funds may experience greater price volatility.
There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to
successful investing.
Notice: Protect yourself against identity theft by avoiding email and internet
fraud. Please know that Janus will never request or disclose your personal
information (Social Security Number, Login password, account number) in an
unsolicited e-mail communication.
