Re: JanusINTECH Institutional Money Market Funds Update
Dear Shareholder:
I want to update you on a recent Janus filing with the SEC. The Board of
Trustees of Janus Money Market Fund and Janus Government Money Market Fund
(collectively, the "Funds") is recommending that shareholders approve a Plan
that authorizes the reorganization of the Funds' Institutional Shares and
Service Shares. The purpose of the reorganization is to exchange the Funds'
Institutional and Service Shares of Janus' retail fund investor structure for
corresponding series of a new fund in Janus' institutional structure. Details
are as follows:
o The proposed reorganization requires shareholder approval. Shareholders of
record as of October 20th will be asked to approve this reorganization via
proxy. Our proxy solicitor, Computershare Fund Services, is expected to
begin proxy activity on or around November 6, 2006.
o The proposed reorganization is intended to maintain the status quo for
shareholders so that after the reorganization you will have the same
account value, and your new fund will have the same investment objective,
policies and strategies, and portfolio managers of the current Funds.
o The fee structure of the new funds will be identical to current Funds;
however, assets will be lower immediately following the reorganization.
o After the reorganization, shareholders will have substantially the same
shareholder rights and privileges.
o The proposal to reorganize the Institutional and Service Shares is
expected to better align the needs of institutional investors, enhance
Janus Capital's distribution capabilities and create a more efficient
product line.
Janus plans to file a definitive proxy statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on behalf of Janus Investment Fund (the
"Trust"). INVESTORS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT WHEN IT BECOMES
AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Investors may obtain a
free copy of the proxy statement (when available) and other documents filed by
Janus with the SEC at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. Free copies of
the proxy statement, once available, may also be obtained from JanusINTECH at
www.janusintech.com.
Information concerning persons who may be considered participants in the
solicitation of the Funds' shareholders is set forth in the preliminary Proxy
Statement filed by the Trust with the SEC on October 20, 2006 and available at
the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.
