FOR SHAREHOLDERS OF
JANUS ADVISER BALANCED FUND
(JANUS LOGO)

May 11, 2009

Dear Shareholder:

The Board of Trustees for Janus Adviser Balanced Fund ("JAD Balanced
Fund"), a series of Janus Adviser Series ("JAD Trust"), recently authorized
Janus Capital Management LLC ("Janus Capital") to reorganize JAD Balanced Fund
with and into Janus Balanced Fund ("JIF Balanced Fund," and together with JAD
Balanced Fund, the "Funds" and each, a "Fund"), a series of Janus Investment
Fund (the "JIF Trust") (the "Reorganization"). It is expected that the
Reorganization will be completed on or about July 2, 2009 (the "Closing Date")
at which time you will receive shares of JIF Balanced Fund approximately
equivalent in dollar value to your shares in JAD Balanced Fund as of the Closing
Date.

You are not being asked to vote on, or take any other action in connection
with the Reorganization. Immediately after the Closing Date, your assets will
automatically be invested in JIF Balanced Fund, which has the same investment
objective, strategies, policies and risks as JAD Balanced Fund, and both Funds
are managed by the same portfolio managers. Also, while the annual fund
operating expenses of JIF Balanced Fund are competitive with its peers, and the
two funds have similar expenses, it is possible that immediately after the
Reorganization, as a JIF Balanced Fund shareholder you will pay higher expenses,
after waivers, because that Fund applies a different expense limit than JAD
Balanced Fund.

As explained in greater detail below and in the attached materials, the
Reorganization is part of a larger effort by Janus Capital to reorganize and
simplify its mutual fund platform. Janus Capital believes that these efforts
will provide both meaningful short- and long-term benefits to Janus fund
shareholders, and will enable Janus Capital to manage and operate its mutual
fund platform more effectively and more efficiently. The following provides a
summary of the broad effort Janus Capital is undertaking, and the actions Janus
Capital will be executing in the months ahead.

Janus Capital has historically organized its retail mutual funds into two
separate and distinct corporate structures, called "trusts." The original mutual
fund trust, the JIF Trust, was designed to offer shares using only one no-load
pricing model to primarily meet the needs of the self-directed investor. In
2000, your trust, the JAD Trust, was introduced to offer multi-class pricing to
facilitate the sale of shares of Janus mutual funds through Janus Capital's
network of third-party intermediaries. The two trusts have very similar product
offerings that are managed by the same portfolio managers or investment teams
and backed by the same research teams. In response to changing market conditions
and investor movement towards advice-driven channels, Janus Capital believes
that it is in the best interests of all fund shareholders to reorganize your
trust and create one combined mutual fund platform with multi-share class
pricing that is designed to meet the needs of various types of investors. To
that end, Janus Capital

has proposed, and the Board of Trustees of the Janus funds has approved, merging
each fund of the JAD Trust into the similarly managed fund in the JIF Trust,
including the merger of JAD Balanced Fund into JIF Balanced Fund.

The impact of the Reorganization on you and your Fund is discussed in
detail in the attached materials. As a general matter, Janus Capital's efforts
to reorganize and simplify its mutual fund platform are expected to benefit
Janus fund shareholders in the following ways:

- Janus Capital will have the opportunity to operate its platform more
efficiently, providing the potential to reduce possible inefficiencies
arising from having similarly managed mutual funds in the same fund
complex;

- As a result of the reorganizations, certain Janus funds will have larger
asset bases, which may result in the elimination of duplicative expenses
and lead to lower expense ratios in the future; and

- Janus Capital's evolving distribution model will permit different types
of shareholders to invest in the same Janus fund providing shareholders
more investment options and the opportunity to invest in funds that have
a more stable asset base.

In addition, each merger, including the Reorganization, is designed to
qualify as a tax-free reorganization, so fund shareholders should not realize a
tax gain or loss as a direct result of the merger, nor will any fund shareholder
pay any fees related to the merger.

Additional details about the Reorganization are described in the enclosed
Q&A and Prospectus/Information Statement. For information about other available
options, please contact your broker-dealer, plan sponsor, or financial
intermediary or call a Janus representative at 1-800-525-0020.

We value the trust and confidence you have placed with us and look forward
to continuing our relationship with you.

Sincerely,

/s/ Robin C. Beery

Robin C. Beery

Chief Executive Officer and President of

Janus Adviser Series

INTRODUCTION

This Prospectus/Information Statement is being furnished to shareholders of
Janus Adviser Balanced Fund ("JAD Balanced Fund"), a series of Janus Adviser
Series (the "JAD Trust"), in connection with an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, shareholders of JAD Balanced Fund
will receive shares of Janus Balanced Fund ("JIF Balanced Fund," and together
with JAD Balanced Fund, the "Funds" and each, a "Fund"), a corresponding series
of Janus Investment Fund (the "JIF Trust") (the "Reorganization"). It is
expected that the Reorganization will be completed on or about July 2, 2009 (the
"Closing Date"). As described more fully in this Prospectus/Information
Statement, the Reorganization is one of several reorganizations that will take
place among various Janus funds.

Pursuant to the Plan, all or substantially all of the assets of JAD
Balanced Fund will be transferred to JIF Balanced Fund, a Fund also managed by
Janus Capital Management LLC ("Janus Capital"), in exchange for shares of
beneficial interest of JIF Balanced Fund and the assumption by JIF Balanced Fund
of all of the liabilities of JAD Balanced Fund, as described more fully below.
As a result of the Reorganization, each shareholder of JAD Balanced Fund will
receive a number of full and fractional shares of JIF Balanced Fund
approximately equal in value to their holdings in JAD Balanced Fund as of the
Closing Date. After the Reorganization is completed, JAD Balanced Fund will be
liquidated.

JIF Balanced Fund is a series of the JIF Trust, an open-end, registered
management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. JAD
Balanced Fund is a series of the JAD Trust, an open-end, registered management
investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust. JAD Balanced Fund
and JIF Balanced Fund are each classified as a diversified series within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The
investment objective of both JAD

Balanced Fund and JIF Balanced Fund is to seek long-term capital growth,
consistent with preservation of capital and balanced by current income.

Janus Capital will remain the investment adviser of JIF Balanced Fund after
the Reorganization. Janus Capital is responsible for the day-to-day management
of JAD Balanced Fund's and JIF Balanced Fund's investment portfolios and
furnishes continuous advice and recommendations concerning each Fund's
investments. As one of the larger mutual fund sponsors in the United States,
Janus Capital sponsored 73 mutual funds and had approximately $110.9 billion in
assets under management as of March 31, 2009. The Reorganization will offer
shareholders continuity in portfolio management while giving them continued
access to Janus Capital's experience and resources in managing mutual funds.

This Prospectus/Information Statement, which you should read carefully and
retain for future reference, sets forth concisely the information that you
should know about JIF Balanced Fund, JAD Balanced Fund and the Reorganization.
This Prospectus/Information Statement is being mailed on or about May 15, 2009.

SYNOPSIS

This Prospectus/Information Statement provides a brief overview of the key
features and other matters typically of concern to shareholders affected by a
reorganization between mutual funds. These responses are qualified in their
entirety by the remainder of this Prospectus/Information Statement, which you
should read carefully because it contains additional information and further
details regarding the Reorganization. The description of the Reorganization is
qualified by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is attached as
Appendix A.

Q. WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE REORGANIZATION?

A. At a meeting held on March 12, 2009, the Board of Trustees of the JAD Trust
approved the Plan which authorizes the reorganization of JAD Balanced Fund
with and into JIF Balanced Fund, with JIF Balanced Fund being the surviving
entity. JAD Balanced Fund is a series of the JAD Trust and JIF Balanced
Fund is a series of the JIF Trust. Each Fund is advised by Janus Capital.
You are receiving this Prospectus/Information Statement because you are a
shareholder of JAD Balanced Fund and will be impacted by the
Reorganization.

Immediately after the Closing Date, JAD Balanced Fund investors will own a
number of full and fractional shares of JIF Balanced Fund approximately
equivalent in dollar value to their shares in JAD Balanced Fund at the time
of the Reorganization. Specifically, all or substantially all of the assets
of JAD Balanced Fund will be transferred to JIF Balanced Fund solely in
exchange for shares of JIF Balanced Fund with a value approximately equal
to the value of JAD Balanced Fund's assets net of liabilities, and the
assumption by JIF Balanced Fund of all liabilities of JAD Balanced Fund.
Immediately following the transfer, the shares of JIF Balanced Fund
received by JAD Balanced Fund will be distributed pro rata to JAD Balanced
Fund shareholders of record as of the Closing Date (on or about July 2,
2009). After the Reorganization is completed, JAD Balanced Fund will be
liquidated. The Reorganization is conditioned upon receipt of an opinion of
counsel that the Reorganization qualifies as a tax-free reorganization, and
other conditions as outlined in the Plan.

Q. WHAT DID THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONSIDER IN DETERMINING THAT THE
REORGANIZATION IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF JAD BALANCED FUND?

A. The Board of Trustees of the JAD Trust concluded that the Reorganization is
in the best interests of JAD Balanced Fund after consideration of the
following factors, among others:

- The Reorganization is part of a larger strategic repositioning of Janus
Capital's distribution model for Janus mutual funds that is designed to
offer certain potential benefits to Fund shareholders that are not
currently available, including a more diverse Fund shareholder base, the
potential for a more stable level of Fund assets, and access to a wider
range of Janus funds with differing investment strategies.

- The current conditions and trends in the securities markets and related
trends in the investment management business, and their current and
potential impact on Janus Capital, the JAD Trust and Fund shareholders.

- JAD Balanced Fund has the same investment objective, strategies, policies
and risks as JIF Balanced Fund, and the two Funds are managed by the same
co-portfolio managers.

- The two Funds have similar historical performance.

- Shareholders of each Fund will have the opportunity to invest in a larger
Fund and potentially benefit from long-term economies of scale that may
result from the Reorganization.

- Fund expenses are not expected to increase materially as a result of the
Reorganization, and Janus Capital anticipates that in the future, the
elimination of some duplicative expenses and the opportunity for
economies of scale may result in lower future fund expenses (other than
management fees).

- Both Funds have the same contractual investment advisory fee rate
(excluding any fee waivers).

- The expense limitation agreements applicable to each Fund which, after
giving effect to fee waivers after the Reorganization, may result in
current JAD Balanced Fund shareholders paying higher fees in the short-
term, but provides greater longer term certainty with respect to total
expense ratios.
- The benefits of the Reorganization to Janus Capital and its affiliates,
including, among other things, that Janus Capital should derive greater
efficiency, in terms of portfolio management and operations, by managing
a single fund rather than two separate funds with substantially the same
investment objective, strategies, policies and risks.
- The Reorganization would not dilute the interests of either Fund's
current shareholders.

- The impact of the Reorganization on the ability of JIF Balanced Fund to
benefit from using a portion of the realized capital losses generated by
JAD Balanced Fund and JIF Balanced Fund, as applicable.

- The Reorganization, for each Fund and its shareholders, is expected to be
tax-free in nature.

- JAD Balanced Fund's shareholders will not pay any fees of the
Reorganization, and immediately after the Reorganization, the full and
fractional value of their shares in JIF Balanced Fund will be equal to
the full and fractional value of their JAD Balanced Fund holdings
immediately prior to the Reorganization.

Q. WHAT ARE THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE FUNDS?

A. Both Funds have the same investment objective of seeking long-term capital
growth, consistent with preservation of capital and balanced by current
income. Each Fund has the same investment strategies and risks. Each Fund
pursues its investment objective by normally investing 50-60% of its assets
in equity securities selected primarily for their growth potential and 40-
50% of its assets in securities selected primarily for their income
potential. Each Fund normally invests at least 25% of its assets in fixed-
income senior securities.

Further information comparing the investment objectives, strategies and
restrictions is included below under "Investment Objectives, Strategies,
Restrictions and Risks."

Q. HOW DO THE FUNDS COMPARE IN SIZE?

A. As of October 31, 2008, JIF Balanced Fund's net assets were approximately
$2.4 billion and JAD Balanced Fund's net assets were approximately $606.9
million. The asset size of each Fund fluctuates on a daily basis and the
asset size of JIF Balanced Fund after the Reorganization may be larger or
smaller than the combined assets of the Funds as of October 31, 2008. More
current total net asset information is available on janus.com/info.

Q. WILL THE REORGANIZATION RESULT IN A HIGHER INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE RATE
UNDER THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT?

A. No. The investment advisory fee rate payable under the advisory agreements
for JAD Balanced Fund and JIF Balanced Fund is currently the same, 0.55%
per annum of average daily net assets.

Pro forma fee, expense, and financial information is included in this
Prospectus/Information Statement.

Q. WILL THE REORGANIZATION RESULT IN HIGHER FUND EXPENSES?

A. Based on October 31, 2008 assets (and assuming the Reorganization occurred
on October 31, 2008), the projected total net expense ratio of JIF Balanced
Fund is slightly higher immediately following the Reorganization (although
not necessarily annualized over the next year) than the net expense ratio
for JAD Balanced Fund. JIF Balanced Fund also has a higher expense cap
(0.76%) than JAD Balanced Fund (0.57%) which, under certain circumstances,
may result in higher net fund operating expenses immediately after the
Reorganization, particularly in an environment where Fund assets are
decreasing. While the Reorganization is not expected to have a material
impact on the expenses your Fund incurs, the expenses you pay may be higher
if JIF Balanced Fund's expense ratio after the Reorganization is higher
than JAD Balanced Fund's existing expense limitation. This possibility
exists because as part of its efforts to reorganize its mutual fund
platform, Janus Capital reviewed its approach to contractual limits (or
"caps") for fund expenses. Janus Capital uses these "expense caps" in an
effort to maintain competitive expenses relative to peers by waiving
certain expenses, including all or a portion of its investment advisory
fees, as needed, to limit certain operating expenses a Fund pays to the
contractual limit. As a result of its platform-wide review of expense
limits, in October 2008 Janus Capital adopted, and the Funds' Trustees
approved, a single, uniform approach across its funds that have such
limits, to be implemented going forward, or as existing expense limits
expired. The new expense limit for JIF Balanced Fund to be implemented as
of July 6, 2009 is higher than the older expense limit for JAD Balanced
Fund.

It is impossible to predict the impact of the higher expense limit for JIF
Balanced Fund because the actual expense ratio after the Reorganization
will depend on the

level of Fund assets at that time. However, given that the current expense
limit of JAD Balanced Fund expires December 1, 2009, and that such limit
would not continue at its current rate under the new approach to setting
expense limits and under that approach could have been higher than the
expense limit for JIF Balanced Fund, as a shareholder of JIF Balanced Fund,
after the Reorganization, you will benefit from having a contractual
expense limit in place at least until November 1, 2010.

Pro forma fee, expense, and financial information is included in this
Prospectus/Information Statement.

Q. WHAT ARE THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REORGANIZATION?

A. The Reorganization is expected to qualify as a tax-free transaction for
federal income tax purposes and will not take place unless counsel provides
an opinion to that effect. Shareholders should not recognize any capital
gain or loss as a direct result of the Reorganization. As a result of the
Reorganization, however, JAD Balanced Fund and/or JIF Balanced Fund may
lose the ability to utilize a portion of realized capital losses that might
have been used to offset or defer gains on sales of portfolio securities
under some circumstances. If you choose to redeem or exchange your shares
before or after the Reorganization, you may realize a taxable gain or loss;
therefore, consider consulting a tax adviser before doing so. In addition,
prior to the Closing Date you may receive a distribution of ordinary income
or capital gains of JAD Balanced Fund.

Q. WILL THE SHAREHOLDER SERVICES PROVIDED BY JANUS CAPITAL CHANGE?

A. No. Janus Capital manages both JAD Balanced Fund and JIF Balanced Fund. The
administrator, custodian, transfer agent, and distributor are the same for
the Funds and will not change as a result of the Reorganization. Following
the Reorganization, shareholders of JAD Balanced Fund will have the same
purchase and redemption privileges and expanded exchange privileges given
the additional available fund offerings in the JIF Trust. Please consult
your financial intermediary for information on any services provided by
them to the Funds.

Q. ARE THERE ANY DIFFERENCES IN SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES OF A FUND
UNDER THE JAD TRUST VERSUS THE JIF TRUST?

A. Shareholders of the JAD Trust (your current trust) and shareholders of the
JIF Trust (the trust into which JAD Balanced Fund is reorganizing) have
similar rights and privileges under their respective trust documents and
state laws. As a result, the Reorganization is not expected to have any
substantial effect on the rights of shareholders. Several differences in
the trusts are worth noting however. Under the JAD Trust, subject to making
certain determinations, the Board of Trustees may terminate the JAD Trust
or any fund of the JAD Trust without seeking shareholder approval. Under
the JIF Trust, shareholder approval is required to terminate the JIF Trust,
but the Board of Trustees may merge, liquidate or reorganize a fund of the
JIF Trust without seeking shareholder approval, if it is in accordance with
legal

requirements such as the 1940 Act requirements. The JAD Trust, however, is
subject to more restrictive requirements with respect to mergers,
liquidations and reorganizations than it is permitted under the 1940 Act.
In addition, under the JAD Trust, shareholders of each Fund are entitled to
one vote for each full share held and fractional votes for fractional
shares held. Under the JIF Trust, each holder of a whole or fractional
share held in a Fund is entitled to one vote for each whole dollar and a
proportionate fractional vote for each fractional dollar of net asset value
standing in the shareholders' name.

Q. WILL THERE BE ANY SALES LOAD, COMMISSION OR OTHER TRANSACTIONAL FEE IN
CONNECTION WITH THE REORGANIZATION?

A. No. There will be no sales load, commission or other transactional fee in
connection with the Reorganization. The full and fractional value of shares
of JAD Balanced Fund will be exchanged for full and fractional shares of
JIF Balanced Fund having approximately equal value, without any sales load,
commission or other transactional fee being imposed.

Q. CAN I STILL ADD TO MY EXISTING JAD BALANCED FUND ACCOUNT UNTIL THE
REORGANIZATION?

A. Yes. JAD Balanced Fund shareholders may continue to make additional
investments until the Closing Date (anticipated to be on or about July 2,
2009). However, the Board of Trustees of the JAD Trust may determine to
temporarily limit future investments in JAD Balanced Fund prior to the
Closing Date to ensure a smooth transition of shareholder accounts into JIF
Balanced Fund.

Q. WILL EITHER FUND PAY FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THE REORGANIZATION?

A. No. Janus Capital will pay those fees, including legal fees and costs
associated with mailing of this Prospectus/Information Statement.

Q. WHEN WILL THE REORGANIZATION TAKE PLACE?

A. The Reorganization will occur on or about July 2, 2009. Shortly after
completion of the Reorganization, affected shareholders will receive a
confirmation statement reflecting their new Fund account number and number
of shares owned.

Q. WHAT IF I WANT TO EXCHANGE MY SHARES INTO ANOTHER FUND IN THE JAD TRUST
PRIOR TO THE REORGANIZATION?

A. You may exchange your shares into another fund in the JAD Trust before the
Closing Date (on or about July 2, 2009) in accordance with your pre-
existing exchange privileges by contacting your broker-dealer, plan
sponsor, or financial intermediary or by calling a Janus representative at
1-800-525-0020. If you choose to exchange your shares of JAD Balanced Fund
for another Janus fund, your request will be treated as a normal exchange
of shares and will be a taxable transaction unless your shares are held in
a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account ("IRA").
Exchanges may be subject to minimum investment requirements and redemption
fees.

Please note that all other funds in the JAD Trust are also subject to
reorganization with and into the JIF Trust or will be liquidated. So, if
you exchange your shares with and into another fund in the JAD Trust, as a
shareholder of that fund, you will also be participating in a
reorganization of that fund with and into a similarly-managed fund in the
JIF Trust or your shares will be liquidated. In addition, if you purchase
shares of a fund in the JAD Trust just before a distribution, which is
expected to occur prior to the Reorganization for each of those funds, you
will pay the full price for the shares and receive a portion of the
purchase price back as a taxable distribution (unless your shares are held
in a qualified tax-deferred plan or account). This is referred to as
"buying a dividend."

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES, RESTRICTIONS AND RISKS

Both Funds are designed for long-term investors who primarily seek growth
of capital and who can tolerate the greater risks associated with common stock
investments. Although the Funds may also emphasize some degree of income, they
are not designed for investors who desire a certain level of income. The Funds
have the same investment objective, principal investment strategies and risks,
which are discussed in detail below. The Funds also have the same fundamental
and non-fundamental investment policies and restrictions, a description of each
of these investment policies and restrictions is included in each Fund's
Statement of Additional Information.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

Each Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth,
consistent with preservation of capital and balanced by current income. Each
Fund's Board of Trustees may change this objective or the Fund's principal
investment strategies without a shareholder vote. Each Fund will notify its
shareholders in writing at least 60 days before making any change to the
investment objective or principal investment strategies it considers material.
If there is a material change to a Fund's objective or principal investment
strategies, you should consider whether the Fund remains an appropriate
investment for you. There is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its
investment objective.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Each Fund pursues its investment objective by normally investing 50-60% of
its assets in equity securities selected primarily for their growth potential
and 40-50% of its assets in securities selected primarily for their income
potential. Each Fund normally invests at least 25% of its assets in fixed-income
senior securities.

The portfolio managers share day-to-day responsibility for each Fund's
investments. In choosing investments for each Fund, the portfolio managers, who
are the same for each Fund, apply a "bottom up" approach with one portfolio
manager focusing on the equity portion of each Fund and the other portfolio
manager focusing on the fixed-income portion of each Fund. In other words, the
portfolio managers look at companies one at a time to determine if a company is
an attractive investment opportunity and if it is

consistent with each Fund's investment policies. If the portfolio managers are
unable to find such investments, each Fund's uninvested assets may be held in
cash or similar investments, subject to the Fund's specific investment policies.

Within the parameters of its specific investment policies, each Fund may
invest in foreign equity and debt securities, which may include investments in
emerging markets.

Within the parameters of its specific investment policies, each Fund may
invest its assets in derivatives (by taking long and/or short positions). Each
Fund may use derivatives for different purposes, including hedging (to offset
risks associated with an investment, currency exposure, or market conditions)
and to earn income and enhance returns.

For more information on the Funds' investment techniques and related risks,
please see Appendix B.

PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS

Each Fund may invest in various types of securities or use certain
investment techniques to achieve its investment objective of long-term capital
growth, consistent with preservation of capital and balanced by current income.
The following is a summary of the principal risks associated with such
securities and investment techniques. Each Fund has the same investment
objective, strategies and policies, so the principal risks are the same for each
Fund. Additional information about these risks is included in each Fund's
Prospectus. As with any security, an investment in either Fund involves certain
risks, including loss of principal. The fact that a particular risk is not
identified does not mean that a Fund, as part of its overall investment
strategy, does not invest or is precluded from investing in securities that give
rise to that risk. Information about additional investment techniques that the
Funds may utilize and related risks is included in Appendix B.

RISK FACTORS OF THE FUNDS

The biggest risk for each Fund is that the Fund's returns may vary, and you
could lose money. Each Fund is designed for long-term investors seeking a
balanced portfolio, including common stocks and bonds. Common stocks tend to be
more volatile than many other investment choices.

MARKET RISK. The value of each Fund's portfolio may decrease if the value
of an individual company or multiple companies in the portfolio decreases or if
the portfolio managers' belief about a company's intrinsic worth is incorrect.
Regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of each Fund's
portfolio could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market
conditions, including, but not limited to, a general decline in prices on the
stock markets, a general decline in real estate markets, a decline in
commodities prices, or if the market favors different types of securities than
the types of securities in which the Fund invests. If the value of a Fund's
portfolio decreases, the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") will also decrease,
which means if you sell your shares in the Fund you may lose money.

It is also important to note that recent events in the equity and fixed-
income markets have resulted, and may continue to result, in an unusually high
degree of volatility in the markets, both domestic and international. These
events and the resulting market upheavals may have an adverse effect on each
Fund such as a decline in the value and liquidity of many securities held by the
Fund, unusually high and unanticipated levels of redemptions, an increase in
portfolio turnover, a decrease in NAV, and an increase in Fund expenses. Because
the situation is unprecedented and widespread, it may also be unusually
difficult to identify both investment risks and opportunities and could limit or
preclude a Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective. The market's
behavior is unpredictable and it is impossible to predict whether or for how
long these conditions will continue. Therefore, it is important to understand
that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, and you could
lose money.

GROWTH SECURITIES RISK. Each Fund invests in companies after accessing
their growth potential. Securities of growth companies may be more volatile than
other stocks. If the portfolio managers' perception of a company's growth
potential is not realized, the securities purchased may not perform as expected,
reducing the Fund's return. In addition, because different types of stocks tend
to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions,
"growth" stocks may perform differently from the market as a whole and other
types of securities.

FIXED-INCOME SECURITIES RISK. The income component of each Fund's holdings
includes fixed-income securities. Typically, the values of fixed-income
securities change inversely with interest rates. Therefore, a fundamental risk
of fixed-income securities is that their value will generally decline as
prevailing interest rates rise which may cause the Fund's NAV to likewise
decrease, and vice versa. How specific fixed-income securities may react to
changes in interest rates will depend on the specific characteristics of each
security. For example, while securities with longer maturities tend to produce
higher yields, they also tend to be more sensitive to changes in prevailing
interest rates and are therefore more volatile than shorter-term securities and
are subject to greater market fluctuations as a result of changes in interest
rates. Fixed-income securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the
risk that the credit strength of an issuer of a fixed-income security will
weaken and/or that the issuer will be unable to make timely principal and
interest payments and that the security may go into default. In addition, there
is the risk that during periods of falling interest rates, certain fixed-income
securities with higher interest rates, such as mortgage- and asset-backed
securities, may be prepaid by their issuers thereby reducing the amount of
interest payments and may result in a Fund having to reinvest its proceeds in
lower yielding securities. Collateral related to such investments also may be
subject to a higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk.

FOREIGN EXPOSURE RISK. Each Fund may have significant exposure to foreign
markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S.
markets. As a result, a Fund's returns and NAV may be affected to a large degree
by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions
in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions
where a Fund has invested a significant

amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Fund's performance than it
would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. Each Fund's investments in
emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the
risks of investing in more developed countries.

DERIVATIVES RISK. Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in
addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses
from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative's original
cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be complex instruments
and may involve analysis that differs from that required for other investment
types used by a Fund. If the value of a derivative does not correlate well with
the particular market or other asset class to which the derivative is intended
to provide exposure, the derivative may not have the anticipated effect.
Derivatives can also reduce the opportunity for gain or result in losses by
offsetting positive returns in other investments. Derivatives can be less liquid
than other types of investments. Derivatives entail the risk that the
counterparty will default on its payment obligations to a Fund. If the
counterparty to a derivative transaction defaults, a Fund would risk the loss of
the net amount of the payments that it contractually is entitled to receive. To
the extent each Fund enters into short derivative positions, the Fund may be
exposed to risks similar to those associated with short sales, including the
risk that the Fund's losses are theoretically unlimited.

An investment in each Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The following questions and answers are designed to help you better
understand each Fund's principal investment strategies.

1. HOW ARE COMMON STOCKS SELECTED?

Unless its investment objective or policies prescribe otherwise, each Fund
may invest its assets in common stocks. The portfolio managers generally take a
"bottom up" approach to selecting companies. This means that they seek to
identify individual companies with earnings growth potential that may not be
recognized by the market at large. The portfolio managers make this assessment
by looking at companies one at a time, regardless of size, country of
organization, place of principal business activity, or other similar selection
criteria. Each Fund may sell a holding if, among other things, the security
reaches the portfolio managers' price target, if the company has a deterioration
of fundamentals such as failing to meet key operating benchmarks, or if the
portfolio managers find a better investment opportunity. Each Fund may also sell
a holding to meet redemptions.

Each Fund may emphasize varying degrees of income. The portfolio managers
may consider dividend-paying characteristics to a greater degree in selecting
common stocks.

2. ARE THE SAME CRITERIA USED TO SELECT FOREIGN SECURITIES?

Yes. The portfolio managers seek companies that meet the selection
criteria, regardless of where a company is located. Foreign securities are
generally selected on a stock-by-stock basis without regard to any defined
allocation among countries or geographic regions. However, certain factors, such
as expected levels of inflation, government policies influencing business
conditions, the outlook for currency relationships, and prospects for economic
growth among countries, regions, or geographic areas, may warrant greater
consideration in selecting foreign securities. There are no limitations on the
countries in which each Fund may invest, and each Fund may at times have
significant foreign exposure, including exposure in emerging markets.

3. HOW ARE ASSETS ALLOCATED BETWEEN THE GROWTH AND INCOME COMPONENTS OF EACH
FUND'S PORTFOLIO?

Each Fund shifts assets to varying degrees between the growth and income
components of its portfolio holdings based on the portfolio managers' analyses
of relevant market, financial, and economic conditions. If the portfolio
managers believe that growth securities will provide better returns than the
yields then available or expected on income-producing securities, each Fund will
place a greater emphasis on the growth component. Each Fund's growth component
will normally be 50-60% of its net assets. In addition, each Fund's income
component may consist of dividend-paying stocks which exhibit growth
characteristics.

4. WHAT TYPES OF SECURITIES MAKE UP THE GROWTH COMPONENT OF EACH FUND'S
PORTFOLIO?

The growth component of each Fund's portfolio is expected to consist
primarily of common stocks, but may also include preferred stocks, convertible
securities, or other securities selected primarily for their growth potential.

5. WHAT TYPES OF SECURITIES MAKE UP THE INCOME COMPONENT OF EACH FUND'S
PORTFOLIO?

Each Fund's income component will consist primarily of fixed income
securities.

6. HOW COULD INTEREST RATES AFFECT THE VALUE OF MY INVESTMENT IN EACH FUND?

Generally, a fixed-income security will increase in value when prevailing
interest rates fall and decrease in value when prevailing interest rates rise.
Longer-term securities are generally more sensitive to interest rate changes
than shorter-term securities, but they generally offer higher yields to
compensate investors for the associated risks. High-yield bond prices and
floating rate debt security prices are generally less directly responsive to
interest rate changes than investment grade issues or comparable fixed rate
securities, and may not always follow this pattern. The income component of each
Fund's holdings includes fixed-income securities.

7. WHAT IS A HIGH-YIELD/HIGH-RISK BOND?

A high-yield/high-risk bond (also called a "junk" bond) is a bond rated
below investment grade by major rating agencies (i.e., BB+ or lower by Standard
& Poor's Ratings Service ("Standard & Poor's") and Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or Ba
or lower by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")) or is an unrated bond
of similar quality. It presents greater risk of default (the failure to make
timely interest and principal payments) than higher quality bonds.

8. WHAT ARE U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES?

Each Fund may invest in U.S. Government securities. U.S. Government
securities include those issued directly by the U.S. Treasury and those issued
or guaranteed by various U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities. Some
government securities are backed by the "full faith and credit" of the United
States. Other government securities are backed only by the rights of the issuer
to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. Others are supported by the discretionary
authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the obligations. Certain other
government securities are supported only by the credit of the issuer. For
securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, each
Fund must look principally to the agency or instrumentality issuing or
guaranteeing the securities for repayment and may not be able to assert a claim
against the United States if the agency or instrumentality does not meet its
commitment. Although they are high-quality, such securities may involve
increased risk of loss of principal and interest compared to government debt
securities that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.

RISKS

Because each Fund normally invests a greater portion of all its assets in
common stocks, a main risk is the risk that the value of the stocks a Fund holds
might decrease in response to the activities of an individual company or in
response to general market and/or economic conditions. If this occurs, a Fund's
share price may also decrease.

Each Fund's performance may also be significantly affected, positively or
negatively, by certain types of investments, such as foreign (non-U.S.)
securities, derivative investments, non-investment grade bonds ("junk bonds"),
initial public offerings ("IPOs"), or securities of companies with relatively
small market capitalizations. IPOs and other types of investments may have a
magnified performance impact on a fund with a small asset base. A Fund may not
experience similar performance as its assets grow.

Each Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio and is therefore
subject to the risk that the investment strategies employed for the Fund may
fail to produce the intended results.

Janus Capital manages many funds and numerous other accounts. Management of
multiple accounts may involve conflicts of interest among those accounts, and
may create potential risks, such as the risk that investment activity in one
account may adversely affect another account. For example, short sale activity
in an account could

adversely affect the market value of long positions in one or more other
accounts (and vice versa). Additionally, Janus Capital is the adviser to the
Janus "funds of funds," which are funds that invest primarily in other mutual
funds managed by Janus Capital. Because Janus Capital is the adviser to the
Janus "funds of funds" and the funds, it is subject to certain potential
conflicts of interest when allocating the assets of a Janus "fund of funds"
among such funds. To the extent that a Fund is an underlying fund in a Janus
"fund of funds," a potential conflict of interest arises when allocating the
assets of the Janus "fund of funds" to that Fund. Purchases and redemptions of
fund shares by a Janus "fund of funds" due to reallocations or rebalancings may
result in a fund having to sell securities or invest cash when it otherwise
would not do so. Such transactions could accelerate the realization of taxable
income if sales of securities resulted in gains and could also increase a fund's
transaction costs. Large redemptions by a Janus "fund of funds" may cause a
fund's expense ratio to increase due to a resulting smaller asset base. A
further discussion of potential conflicts of interest and a discussion of
certain procedures intended to mitigate such potential conflicts are contained
in each Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CERTAIN RISKS

The following questions and answers are designed to help you better
understand some of the risks of investing in each Fund.

1. HOW COULD A FUND'S INVESTMENTS IN FOREIGN SECURITIES AFFECT ITS PERFORMANCE?

Within the parameters of its specific investment policies, each Fund may
invest in foreign debt and equity securities either indirectly (e.g., depositary
receipts, depositary shares, and passive foreign investment companies) or
directly in foreign markets, including emerging markets. Investments in foreign
securities, including those of foreign governments, may involve greater risks
than investing in domestic securities because a Fund's performance may depend on
factors other than the performance of a particular company. These factors
include:

- Currency Risk. As long as a Fund holds a foreign security, its value
will be affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S.
dollar. When a Fund sells a foreign currency denominated security, its
value may be worth less in U.S. dollars even if the security increases in
value in its home country. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign
issuers may also be affected by currency risk due to the overall impact
of exposure to the issuer's local currency.

- Political and Economic Risk. Foreign investments may be subject to
heightened political and economic risks, particularly in emerging markets
which may have relatively unstable governments, immature economic
structures, national policies restricting investments by foreigners,
different legal systems, and economies based on only a few industries. In
some countries, there is the risk that the government may take over the
assets or operations of a company or that the government may impose taxes
or limits on the removal of a Fund's assets from that country.

- Regulatory Risk. There may be less government supervision of foreign
markets. As a result, foreign issuers may not be subject to the uniform
accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards and practices
applicable to domestic issuers, and there may be less publicly available
information about foreign issuers.

- Foreign Market Risk. Foreign securities markets, particularly those of
emerging market countries, may be less liquid and more volatile than
domestic markets. Certain markets may require payment for securities
before delivery, and delays may be encountered in settling securities
transactions. In some foreign markets, there may not be protection
against failure by other parties to complete transactions. Such factors
may hinder a Fund's ability to buy and sell emerging market securities in
a timely manner, affecting the Fund's investment strategies and
potentially affecting the value of the Fund.

- Transaction Costs. Costs of buying, selling, and holding foreign
securities, including brokerage, tax, and custody costs, may be higher
than those involved in domestic transactions.

2. A FUND MAY INVEST IN SMALLER OR NEWER COMPANIES. DOES THIS CREATE ANY
SPECIAL RISKS?

Many attractive investment opportunities may be in smaller, start-up
companies offering emerging products or services. Smaller or newer companies may
suffer more significant losses as well as realize more substantial growth than
larger or more established issuers because they may lack depth of management, be
unable to generate funds necessary for growth or potential development, or be
developing or marketing new products or services for which markets are not yet
established and may never become established. In addition, such companies may be
insignificant factors in their industries and may become subject to intense
competition from larger or more established companies. Securities of smaller or
newer companies may have more limited trading markets than the markets for
securities of larger or more established issuers, or may not be publicly traded
at all, and may be subject to wide price fluctuations. Investments in such
companies tend to be more volatile and somewhat more speculative.

3. WHAT IS "INDUSTRY RISK"?

Industry risk is the possibility that a group of related securities will
decline in price due to industry-specific developments. Companies in the same or
similar industries may share common characteristics and are more likely to react
similarly to industry-specific market or economic developments. A Fund's
investments, if any, in multiple companies in a particular industry increase the
Fund's exposure to industry risk.

4. ARE THERE SPECIAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTMENTS IN HIGH-YIELD/HIGH-RISK
BONDS?

High-yield/high-risk bonds (or "junk" bonds) are bonds rated below
investment grade by the primary rating agencies such as Standard & Poor's,
Fitch, and Moody's or are unrated bonds of similar quality. The value of lower
quality bonds generally is more dependent on credit risk and default risk than
investment grade bonds. Issuers of high-yield/high-risk bonds may not be as
strong financially as those issuing bonds with higher credit ratings and are
more vulnerable to real or perceived economic changes, political changes, or
adverse developments specific to the issuer. In addition, the junk bond market
can experience sudden and sharp price swings.

The secondary market on which high-yield securities are traded may be less
liquid than the market for investment grade securities. The lack of a liquid
secondary market may have an adverse impact on the market price of the security.
Secondary markets for high-yield securities are less liquid than the market for
investment grade securities; therefore, it may be more difficult to value the
securities because valuation may require more research, and elements of judgment
may play a larger role in the valuation because there is less reliable,
objective data available.

Please refer to the "Explanation of Rating Categories" section of JAD
Balanced Fund's Prospectus for a description of bond rating categories.

5. WHAT IS MEANT BY "CREDIT QUALITY" AND WHAT ARE THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH IT?

Credit quality measures the likelihood that the issuer or borrower will
meet its obligations on a bond. One of the fundamental risks is credit risk,
which is the risk that an issuer will be unable to make principal and interest
payments when due, or default on its obligations. This may negatively impact a
Fund's returns and yield. U.S. Government securities are generally considered to
be the safest type of investment in terms of credit risk. Municipal obligations
generally rank between U.S. Government securities and corporate debt securities
in terms of credit safety. Corporate debt securities, particularly those rated
below investment grade, present the highest credit risk.

6. HOW DO THE FUNDS TRY TO REDUCE RISK?

Each Fund may use short sales, futures, options, swap agreements
(including, but not limited to, equity, interest rate, credit default, and total
return swaps), and other derivative instruments individually or in combination
to "hedge" or protect its portfolio from adverse movements in securities prices
and interest rates. The Funds may also use a variety of currency hedging
techniques, including the use of forward currency contracts, to manage currency
risk. There is no guarantee that derivative investments will benefit a Fund. A
Fund's performance could be worse than if the Fund had not used such
instruments. Use of such investments may instead increase risk to the Fund,
rather than reduce risk.

GENERAL PORTFOLIO POLICIES

Unless otherwise stated, the following general policies apply to each Fund.
Except for a Fund's policies with respect to investments in illiquid securities
and borrowing, the percentage limitations included in these policies and
elsewhere in this Prospectus/Information Statement and/or the Fund's Statement
of Additional Information normally apply only at the time of purchase of a
security. So, for example, if a Fund exceeds a limit as a result of market
fluctuations or the sale of other securities, it will not be required to dispose
of any securities.

CASH POSITION

The Funds may not always stay fully invested. For example, when the
portfolio managers believe that market conditions are unfavorable for profitable
investing, or when they are otherwise unable to locate attractive investment
opportunities, a Fund's cash or similar investments may increase. In other
words, cash or similar investments generally are a residual - they represent the
assets that remain after a Fund has committed available assets to desirable
investment opportunities. When a Fund's investments in cash or similar
investments increase, it may not participate in market advances or declines to
the same extent that it would if the Fund remained more fully invested. To the
extent a Fund invests its uninvested cash through a sweep program, it is subject
to the risks of the account or fund into which it is investing, including
liquidity issues that may delay the Fund from accessing its cash.

In addition, a Fund may temporarily increase its cash position under
certain unusual circumstances, such as to protect its assets or maintain
liquidity in certain circumstances, for example, to meet unusually large
redemptions. A Fund's cash position may also increase temporarily due to
unusually large cash inflows. Under unusual circumstances such as these, a Fund
may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash or similar investments. In this
case, the Fund may take positions that are inconsistent with its investment
objective. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

In general, each Fund intends to purchase securities for long-term
investment, although, to a limited extent, each Fund may purchase securities in
anticipation of relatively short-term price gains. Short-term transactions may
also result from liquidity needs, securities having reached a price or yield
objective, changes in interest rates or the credit standing of an issuer, or by
reason of economic or other developments not foreseen at the time of the
investment decision. A Fund may also sell one security and simultaneously
purchase the same or a comparable security to take advantage of short-term
differentials in bond yields or securities prices. Portfolio turnover is
affected by market conditions, changes in the size of a Fund, the nature of a
Fund's investments, and the investment style of the portfolio managers. Changes
are normally made in a Fund's portfolio whenever the portfolio managers believe
such changes are desirable. Portfolio turnover rates are generally not a factor
in making buy and sell decisions.

Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher costs for brokerage
commissions, dealer mark-ups, and other transaction costs, and may also result
in taxable capital gains. Higher costs associated with increased portfolio
turnover may offset gains in a Fund's performance.

COUNTERPARTIES

Fund transactions involving a counterparty are subject to the risk that the
counterparty or a third party will not fulfill its obligation to a Fund
("counterparty risk"). Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty's
financial condition (i.e., financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency),
market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether foreseen or not. A
counterparty's inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant
financial loss to the Fund. A Fund may be unable to recover its investment from
the counterparty or may obtain a limited recovery, and/or recovery may be
delayed.

Each Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk through participation in
various programs including, but not limited to, lending its securities to third
parties, cash sweep arrangements whereby a Fund's cash balance is invested in
one or more money market funds, as well as investments in, but not limited to,
repurchase agreements, debt securities, and derivatives, including various types
of swaps, futures, and options. Each Fund intends to enter into financial
transactions with counterparties that Janus Capital believes to be creditworthy
at the time of the transaction. There is always the risk that Janus Capital's
analysis of a counterparty's creditworthiness is incorrect or may change due to
market conditions. To the extent that a Fund focuses its transactions with a
limited number of counterparties, it will have greater exposure to the risks
associated with one or more counterparties.

OTHER TYPES OF INVESTMENTS

Unless otherwise stated within its specific investment policies, each Fund
may also invest in other types of domestic and foreign securities and use other
investment strategies, as described in Appendix B. These securities and
strategies are not principal investment strategies of a Fund. If successful,
they may benefit a Fund by earning a return on the Fund's assets or reducing
risk; however, they may not achieve the Fund's investment objective. These
securities and strategies may include:

- debt securities
- exchange-traded funds
- indexed/structured securities
- high-yield/high-risk bonds (35% or less of a Fund's net assets)
- various derivative transactions (which could comprise a significant
percentage of a Fund's portfolio) including, but not limited to, options,
futures, forwards, swap agreements (such as equity, interest rate, credit
default, and total return swaps), participatory notes, structured notes,
and other types of derivatives individually or in combination for hedging
purposes or for nonhedging purposes such as seeking to enhance return, to
protect unrealized gains, or to avoid realizing

losses; such techniques may also be used to gain exposure to the market
pending investment of cash balances or to meet liquidity needs
- short sales (no more than 10% of a Fund's net assets may be invested in
short sales other than against the box)
- securities purchased on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward
commitment basis
- bank loans, which may be acquired through loan participations and
assignments (no more than 20% of each Fund's total assets)
- entering into transactions to manage a Fund's realization of capital
gains and to offset such realization of capital gains with capital losses
where the portfolio managers believe it is appropriate; such techniques
may result in increased transaction costs paid by a Fund and may be
limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations

MORTGAGE- AND ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES

Each Fund may purchase fixed or variable rate mortgage-backed securities
issued by the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"), the
Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), or other governmental or government-
related entities. Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs are not backed by the full faith
and credit of the U.S. Government. Each Fund may purchase other mortgage- and
asset-backed securities through single- and multi-seller conduits,
collateralized debt obligations, structured investment vehicles, and other
similar securities. Asset-backed securities may be backed by automobile loans,
equipment leases, credit card receivables, or other collateral. In the event the
underlying securities fail to perform, these investment vehicles could be forced
to sell the assets and recognize losses on such assets, which could impact a
Fund's yield and your return.

Unlike traditional debt instruments, payments on these securities include
both interest and a partial payment of principal. Prepayments of the principal
of underlying loans may shorten the effective maturities of these securities and
may result in a Fund having to reinvest proceeds at a lower interest rate.

In addition to prepayment risk, investments in mortgage-backed securities,
including those comprised of subprime mortgages, and investments in other asset-
backed securities comprised of under-performing assets may be subject to a
higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk.

SHORT SALES

To a limited extent, each Fund may engage in short sales. A short sale is
generally a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own or have
the right to acquire (or that it owns but does not wish to deliver) in
anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. To complete
the transaction, a Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer.
The Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the
security at the market price at the time of replacement. A short sale is

subject to the risk that if the price of the security sold short increases in
value, a Fund will incur a loss because it will have to replace the security
sold short by purchasing it at a higher price. In addition, a Fund may not
always be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an
acceptable price. A lender may request, or market conditions may dictate, that
the securities sold short be returned to the lender on short notice, and a Fund
may have to buy the securities sold short at an unfavorable price. If this
occurs at a time that other short sellers of the same security also want to
close out their positions, it is more likely that a Fund will have to cover its
short sale at an unfavorable price and potentially reduce or eliminate any gain,
or cause a loss, as a result of the short sale. Because there is no upper limit
to the price a borrowed security may reach prior to closing a short position, a
Fund's losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale transaction. A Fund's
gains and losses will also be decreased or increased, as the case may be, by the
amount of any dividends, interest, or expenses, including transaction costs and
borrowing fees, the Fund may be required to pay in connection with a short sale.
Such payments may result in a Fund having higher expenses than a fund that does
not engage in short sales and may negatively affect the Fund's performance.

A Fund may also enter into short positions through derivative instruments
such as option contracts, futures contract and swap agreements which may expose
the Fund to similar risks. To the extent that a Fund enters into short
derivative positions, the Fund may be exposed to risks similar to those
associated with short sales, including the risk that the Fund's losses are
theoretically unlimited.

Due to certain foreign countries' restrictions, a Fund will not be able to
engage in short sales in certain foreign countries where it may maintain long
positions. As a result, a Fund's ability to fully implement a short selling
strategy that could otherwise help the Fund pursue its investment goals may be
limited.

Although Janus Capital believes that its rigorous "bottom up" approach will
be effective in selecting short positions, there is no assurance that Janus
Capital will be successful in applying this approach when engaging in short
sales.

SWAP AGREEMENTS

Each Fund may utilize swap agreements as a means to gain exposure to
certain common stocks and/or to "hedge" or protect its portfolio from adverse
movements in securities prices and interest rates. Swap agreements are two-party
contracts to exchange one set of cash flows for another. Swap agreements entail
the risk that a party will default on its payment obligations to a Fund. If the
other party to a swap defaults, a Fund would risk the loss of the net amount of
the payments that it contractually is entitled to receive. If a Fund utilizes a
swap at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, the swap may
result in a loss to the Fund and reduce the Fund's total return. Various types
of swaps such as credit default, equity, interest rate, and total return swaps
are described in Appendix B.

SECURITIES LENDING

A Fund may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to
certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. Each Fund may lend portfolio
securities on a short-term or long-term basis, in an amount equal to up to one-
third of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.
When a Fund lends its securities, it receives collateral (including cash
collateral), at least equal to the value of securities loaned. There is the risk
that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a
timely basis, and the Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the
security or gaining access to the collateral. If the Fund is unable to recover a
security on loan, the Fund may use the collateral to purchase replacement
securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could
decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement
investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Fund.

ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS

Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments.
An illiquid investment is a security or other position that cannot be disposed
of quickly in the normal course of business. For example, some securities are
not registered under U.S. securities laws and cannot be sold to the U.S. public
because of SEC regulations (these are known as "restricted securities"). Under
procedures adopted by each Fund's Board of Trustees, certain restricted
securities that are determined to be liquid will not be counted toward this 15%
limit.

SPECIAL SITUATIONS

Each Fund may invest in companies that demonstrate special situations or
turnarounds, meaning companies that have experienced significant business
problems but are believed to have favorable prospects for recovery. For example,
a special situation or turnaround may arise when, in the opinion of a Fund's
portfolio managers, the securities of a particular issuer will be recognized by
the market and appreciate in value due to a specific development with respect to
that issuer. Special situations may include significant changes in a company's
allocation of its existing capital, a restructuring of assets, or a redirection
of free cash flow. For example, issuers undergoing significant capital changes
may include companies involved in spin-offs, sales of divisions, mergers or
acquisitions, companies emerging from bankruptcy, or companies initiating large
changes in their debt to equity ratio. Companies that are redirecting cash flows
may be reducing debt, repurchasing shares, or paying dividends. Special
situations may also result from: (i) significant changes in industry structure
through regulatory developments or shifts in competition; (ii) a new or improved
product, service, operation, or technological advance; (iii) changes in senior
management or other extraordinary corporate event; (iv) differences in market
supply of and demand for the security; or (v) significant changes in cost
structure. A Fund's performance could suffer from its investments in "special
situations."

COMPARISON OF FEES AND EXPENSES

The types of expenses currently paid by each class of shares of JAD
Balanced Fund are the same types of expenses to be paid by the corresponding
share classes of JIF Balanced Trust. Currently, the Funds have substantially
similar investment advisory agreements and are subject to the same annual
advisory fee rate of 0.55% of average daily net assets.

CURRENT AND PRO FORMA FEES AND EXPENSES

The following tables compare the fees and expenses you may bear directly or
indirectly as an investor in JAD Balanced Fund versus JIF Balanced Fund, and
show the projected ("pro forma") estimated fees and expenses of JIF Balanced
Fund, assuming consummation of the Reorganization as of October 31, 2008. Fees
and expenses shown for JAD Balanced Fund were determined based on the Fund's
average net assets as of its fiscal year ended July 31, 2008. The pro forma fees
and expenses shown for JIF Balanced Fund were determined based on the Fund's
average net assets as of its fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. The pro forma
fees and expenses are estimated in good faith and are hypothetical, and do not
reflect any change in expense ratios resulting from a change in assets under
management since July 31, 2008 for JAD Balanced Fund and October 31, 2008, for
JIF Balanced Fund. Total net assets as of these dates are shown in a footnote to
the table. More current total net asset information is available on
janus.com/info. It is important for you to know that a decline in a Fund's
average net assets during the current fiscal year and after the Reorganization,
as a result of market volatility or other factors, could cause the Fund's
expense ratio to be higher than the fees and expenses shown, which means you
could pay more if you buy or hold shares of the Funds. Significant declines in a
Fund's net assets will increase your Fund's total expense ratio, likely
significantly. The Funds will not pay any fees of the Reorganization.

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES

Annual fund operating expenses are paid out of a Fund's assets and include
fees for portfolio management, maintenance of shareholder accounts, shareholder
servicing, accounting, and other services. You do not pay these fees directly,
but as the examples in the table below show, these costs are borne indirectly by
all shareholders.

The Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown in the table below represent
annualized expenses for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 for JAD Balanced
Fund and those projected for JIF Balanced Fund on a pro forma basis for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 assuming consummation of the Reorganization.
The pro forma expenses include estimated costs of the larger JIF Balanced Fund,
which may result in higher costs that over the long-term are anticipated to
decline. The Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not show current expenses for JIF
Balanced Fund since the Fund does not currently offer any Class A, Class C,
Class I, Class R and Class S Shares. The pro forma information in the "Annual
Fund Operating Expenses" table below assumes that JIF Balanced Fund post-
Reorganization has an annual fixed-rate advisory fee of 0.55% of average daily
net assets. Neither the current nor pro forma Annual Fund Operating

Expenses include the effect of recent market volatility which may increase those
expenses to the extent there has been a decline in either Fund's asset levels.

EXPENSE LIMITATIONS

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown in the table below do not
include any expense limitations agreed to by Janus Capital. Currently, through
December 1, 2009, pursuant to a contract between Janus Capital and JAD Balanced
Fund, Janus Capital reduces its investment advisory fee rate paid by JAD
Balanced Fund by the amount by which the total annual fund operating expenses
allocated to any class of the Fund exceed 0.57% of average daily net assets for
the fiscal year. For purposes of this waiver, operating expenses do not include
fees payable pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, administrative services
fees (applicable to Class R Shares and Class S Shares), or items not normally
considered operating expenses, such as interest, dividends, taxes, brokerage
commissions and extraordinary expenses (including, but not limited to, legal
claims and liabilities and litigation costs, acquired fund fees and expenses and
any indemnification related thereto). Janus Capital currently does not have a
similar expense limitation agreement for JIF Balanced Fund but, assuming
consummation of the Reorganization, Janus Capital has contractually agreed that
until at least November 1, 2010, it would reduce its annual investment advisory
fee rate paid by JIF Balanced Fund by the amount, if any, the total annual fund
operating expenses allocated to any class exceed 0.76% of average daily net
assets for the fiscal year. (Please note that JIF Balanced Fund will have a
higher expense limitation than that of JAD Balanced Fund which may result in
higher net annual fund operating expenses.) See the footnote to Total Annual
Fund Operating Expenses in the table below that provides further detail
regarding the total net expense ratio.

The estimated pro forma expense ratio of JIF Balanced Fund, as shown in the
fee table, does not include any fee waivers. Changes to expenses and asset
levels of both JAD Balanced Fund and JIF Balanced Fund at the time of the
Reorganization could trigger application of JIF Balanced Fund's expense limit of
0.76% (with certain expenses excluded from the waiver as noted above), resulting
in a possible reduction of other expenses for a class and the investment
advisory fee rate payable to Janus Capital by JIF Balanced Fund.

SHAREHOLDER FEES

Shareholder fees are those paid directly from your investment, such as
sales loads and redemption fees. As noted above, JIF Balanced Fund currently
does not offer Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S Shares. Upon
consummation of the Reorganization, shares of these classes of JIF Balanced Fund
will be established to correspond with shares of JAD Balanced Fund. Class A,
Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S Shares of JIF Balanced Fund will have
substantially the same class characteristics as the Class A, Class C, Class I,
Class R and Class S Shares of JAD Balanced Fund, respectively.

* As of July 31, 2008, total net assets (rounded to millions) were $619.4 for
JAD Balanced Fund. As of October 31, 2008, total net assets (rounded to
millions) were $2,361.5 for JIF Balanced Fund.

(1) All expenses are shown without the effect of expense offset arrangements.
Pursuant to such arrangements, credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances are used to reduce custodian and transfer agent expenses.
(2) The "Management Fee" is the investment advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to
Janus Capital.
(3) Includes a shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.25% for Class C Shares.
Because the 12b-1 fee is charged as an ongoing fee, over time the fee will
increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other
types of sales charges.
(4) For Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares, Other Expenses may
include administrative, networking, or omnibus positioning fees charged by
intermediaries with respect to processing orders in Fund shares. For Class R
Shares and Class S Shares, Other Expenses include an administrative services
fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class to compensate
Janus Services LLC for providing, or arranging for the provision of,
recordkeeping, subaccounting, and administrative services to retirement plan
participants, pension plan participants, or other underlying investors
investing through institutional channels.

(5) "Acquired Fund" means any underlying fund (including, but not limited to,
exchange-traded funds) in which a Fund invests or has invested during the
period. A Fund's "ratio of gross expenses to average net assets" appearing
in the Financial Highlights tables in the Fund's current prospectus does not
include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses and may not correlate to the Total
Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown in the table above. Amounts less than
0.01%, if applicable, are included in Other Expenses to the extent the
amount reflected may show 0.00%.

(6) Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not reflect the application of
contractual expense waivers by Janus Capital. Janus Capital has
contractually agreed to waive the total annual fund operating expenses of
(i) JAD Balanced Fund and (ii) assuming the consummation of the
Reorganization, JIF Balanced Fund post-Reorganization (excluding the
distribution and shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares,
Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares), administrative services
fees (applicable to Class R Shares and Class S Shares), brokerage
commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses
including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to the
extent such operating expenses exceed 0.57% and 0.76%, respectively, of
average daily net assets on the fiscal year ending date in which the
agreement is in effect. The agreement to contractually waive expenses of JIF
Balanced Fund post-Reorganization will be in effect until at least November
1, 2010 unless terminated, revised, or extended. Refer to "Expense
Limitations" in this Prospectus/Information Statement for the Funds' expense
limit. Based on information in the table above, with the waiver, assuming
Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses would have been included in the table
above, those expenses for each Fund are as follows:

EXAMPLES:

THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES ARE BASED ON EXPENSES WITHOUT WAIVERS AS DISCUSSED
ABOVE UNDER "EXPENSE LIMITATIONS." These examples are intended to help you
compare the cost of investing in JAD Balanced Fund and in JIF Balanced Fund
after the Reorganization with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The
examples assume that you invest $10,000 in JAD Balanced Fund and in JIF Balanced
Fund after the Reorganization for the time periods indicated and reinvest all
dividends and

distributions without a sales charge. The examples also assume that your
investment has a 5% return each year and that the Funds' operating expenses
without waivers remain the same. The first example assumes that you redeem all
of your Shares at the end of each period. The second example assumes that you
keep your Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon
these assumptions your costs would be as follows:

COMPARISON OF FUND PERFORMANCE

The following information provides some indication of the risks of
investing in the Funds by showing how each Fund's actual performance has varied
over time. The bar charts depict the change in performance from year to year
during the periods indicated. The bar chart figures do not include any
applicable sales charges that an investor may pay when they buy or sell shares
of a Fund. If sales charges were included, the returns would be lower. Since JIF
Balanced Fund does not currently have Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and
Class S Shares, information shown for JIF Balanced Fund is based on a share
class that has different fees and expenses than share classes of JAD Balanced
Fund and does not represent the performance of your current share class. The
table following the charts shows how the performance of each Fund compares to
broad-based market indices (which, unlike the Funds, do not have any fees or
expenses). Each Fund's performance is compared to the S&P 500(R) Index, with the
Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index (formerly named Lehman
Brothers U.S. Government/Credit

Index) and the Balanced Index as the Fund's secondary benchmarks. After the
Reorganization, it is expected that JIF Balanced Fund will continue to compare
its performance to the S&P 500(R) Index, with the Barclays Capital U.S.
Government/Credit Bond Index (formerly named Lehman Brothers U.S.
Government/Credit Bond Index) and the Balanced Index as the Fund's secondary
benchmarks. The indices are not actively managed and are not available for
direct investment. All figures assume reinvestment of dividends and
distributions. For certain periods, the Funds' performance may reflect the
effect of expense waivers. Without the effect of these waivers, the performance
shown would have been lower. The performance of the Funds and the indices varies
over time. Of course, a Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not
necessarily an indication of future performance.

(1) Calculated to include contingent deferred sales charge applicable to Class
C Shares.

(2) The inception date for JAD Balanced Fund is August 1, 2000 and the
inception date for JIF Balanced Fund is September 1, 1992. The inception
date of the predecessor fund (see footnote below) for JAD Balanced Fund is
September 13, 1993.

(3) Class S Shares (formerly named Class I Shares) of the Fund commenced
operations on August 1, 2000, after the reorganization of the Retirement
Shares of Janus Aspen Series - Balanced Portfolio (the "predecessor fund")
into the Fund. The returns for the Fund reflect the performance of the
Retirement

Shares of the predecessor fund prior to the reorganization. The performance
of the Retirement Shares prior to May 1, 1997 reflects the performance of
the initial class of shares of the predecessor fund. The performance shown
for certain periods prior to the Fund's commencement of Class S Shares was
calculated using the fees and expenses of Class S Shares, without the
effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. The performance shown
for periods following the Fund's commencement of Class S Shares reflects
the fees and expenses of Class S Shares, net of any fee and expense
limitations or waivers.
(4) If a Fund incurs a loss, which generates a tax benefit, the Return After
Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund shares may exceed the Fund's other
return figures.
(5) Class A and Class R Shares of the Fund commenced operations on September
30, 2004. The performance shown for Class A and Class R Shares reflect the
performance of each class from September 30, 2004 to December 31, 2008, the
performance of the Fund's Class S Shares from August 1, 2000 to September
30, 2004, and the historical performance of other classes of shares and the
predecessor fund for periods prior to August 1, 2000. The performance shown
for certain periods prior to the Fund's commencement of Class A and Class R
Shares was calculated using the fees and expenses of Class A and Class R
Shares, respectively, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations
or waivers. The performance shown for periods following the Fund's
commencement of Class A and Class R Shares reflects the fees and expenses
of Class A and Class R Shares, respectively, net of any fee and expense
limitations or waivers.
(6) Calculated assuming maximum permitted sales loads.
(7) Class C Shares of the Fund commenced operations on September 30, 2002. The
performance shown for Class C Shares reflects the performance of the Fund's
Class C Shares from September 30, 2002 to December 31, 2008, the
performance of the Fund's Class S Shares from August 1, 2000 to September
30, 2002, and the historical performance of other classes of shares and the
predecessor fund for periods prior to August 1, 2000. The performance shown
for certain periods prior to the Fund's commencement of Class C Shares was
calculated using the fees and expenses of Class C Shares, without the
effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. The performance shown
for periods following the Fund's commencement of Class C Shares reflects
the fees and expenses of Class C Shares, net of any fee and expense
limitations or waivers.
(8) Class I Shares of the Fund commenced operations on November 28, 2005. The
performance shown for Class I Shares reflects the performance of the Fund's
Class I Shares from November 28, 2005 to December 31, 2008, the performance
of the Fund's Class S Shares from August 1, 2000 to November 28, 2005, and
the historical performance of other classes of shares and the predecessor
fund for periods prior to August 1, 2000. The performance shown for certain
periods prior to the Fund's commencement of Class I Shares was calculated
using the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, without the effect of any
fee and expense limitations or waivers. The performance shown for periods
following the Fund's commencement of Class I Shares reflects the fees and
expenses of Class I Shares, net of any fee and expense limitations or
waivers.
(9) The Standard & Poor's ("S&P") 500(R) Index is a commonly recognized,

After-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual
federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and

DISTRIBUTION AND PURCHASE PROCEDURES, EXCHANGE RIGHTS, AND REDEMPTION PROCEDURES

Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S Shares of JIF Balanced Fund
will have substantially similar class characteristics as the Class A, Class C,
Class I, Class R and Class S Shares of JAD Balanced Fund, respectively. JIF
Balanced Fund currently does not offer Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and
Class S Shares. Upon consummation of the Reorganization, shares of these classes
of JIF Balanced Fund will be established to correspond with shares of JAD
Balanced Fund. For additional information about purchase procedures, exchange
rights and redemption procedures, please refer to the Shareholder's Guide,
attached as Appendix C.

Janus Capital is the investment adviser and administrator to both JAD
Balanced Fund and JIF Balanced Fund, and Janus Distributors LLC ("Janus
Distributors") is the distributor of each Fund. In addition, the custodian,
State Street Bank and Trust Company, and transfer agent, Janus Services LLC, are
the same for both Funds. After the Reorganization, JIF Balanced Fund will have
purchase, exchange, and redemption procedures for Class A, Class C, Class I,
Class R and Class S Shares that are the same or similar to those of the
corresponding share classes in JAD Balanced Fund. Prior to the Reorganization,
the JIF Trust will adopt a new plan pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act
which will make the share class characteristics of the JIF Trust substantially
similar to the share class characteristics of the JAD Trust. Therefore, it is
expected that shareholders of JAD Balanced Fund will continue to be subject to
the same procedures and receive the same services as shareholders of JIF
Balanced Fund, as they currently do as shareholders of JAD Balanced Fund.

CALCULATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

The Funds each calculate their respective net asset value per share ("NAV")
once each business day at the close of the regular trading session of the New
York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). For additional
information about calculation of NAV, please refer to the Shareholder's Guide,
attached as Appendix C.

THE REORGANIZATION

THE PLAN

The Plan sets forth the terms and conditions under which the Reorganization
will be implemented. Significant provisions of the Plan are summarized below;
however, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan,
which is attached hereto as Appendix A.

The Plan contemplates: (i) JIF Balanced Fund's acquisition of all or
substantially all of the assets of JAD Balanced Fund in exchange solely for
shares of JIF Balanced Fund and the assumption by JIF Balanced Fund of all of
JAD Balanced Fund's liabilities, if any, as of the Closing Date; (ii) the
distribution on the Closing Date of those shares to the shareholders of JAD
Balanced Fund; and (iii) the complete liquidation of JAD Balanced Fund.

The value of JAD Balanced Fund's assets to be acquired and the amount of
its liabilities to be assumed by JIF Balanced Fund and the NAV of a share of JAD
Balanced Fund will be determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE
on the Closing Date, after the declaration by JAD Balanced Fund of
distributions, if any on the Closing Date, and will be determined in accordance
with the valuation methodologies described in JAD Balanced Fund's currently
effective Prospectuses and Statement of Additional Information. The Plan
provides that Janus Capital will pay all fees of the Reorganization, including
the costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and mailing of this
Prospectus/Information Statement. The Closing Date is expected to be on or about
July 2, 2009.

As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, JAD Balanced Fund will
distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record the shares of JIF Balanced
Fund it receives in the Reorganization, so that each shareholder of JAD Balanced
Fund will receive a number

of full and fractional shares of JIF Balanced Fund approximately equal in value
to his or her holdings in JAD Balanced Fund, and JAD Balanced Fund will be
liquidated.

Such distribution will be accomplished by opening accounts on the books of
JIF Balanced Fund in the names of JAD Balanced Fund shareholders and by
transferring thereto the shares of JIF Balanced Fund previously credited to the
account of JAD Balanced Fund on those books. Each shareholder account shall be
credited with the pro rata number of JIF Balanced Fund's shares due to that
shareholder. All issued and outstanding shares of JAD Balanced Fund will
simultaneously be canceled on the books of the JAD Trust. Accordingly,
immediately after the Reorganization, each former shareholder of JAD Balanced
Fund will own shares of JIF Balanced Fund that will be approximately equal to
the value of that shareholder's shares of JAD Balanced Fund as of the Closing
Date. Any special options will automatically transfer to the new fund accounts.

The implementation of the Reorganization is subject to a number of
conditions set forth in the Plan. The Plan also requires receipt of a tax
opinion indicating that, for federal income tax purposes, the Reorganization
qualifies as a tax-free reorganization. The Plan may be terminated and the
Reorganization abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date by the Boards of
Trustees if the Trustees determine that the Reorganization is not in the best
interests of the Funds. Please review the Plan carefully.

REASONS FOR THE REORGANIZATION

The Reorganization is part of some significant enhancements Janus Capital
has recently undertaken to reorganize and simplify its mutual fund platform.
Janus Capital believes that these efforts will provide both meaningful short-
and long-term benefits to fund shareholders. Janus Capital has historically
organized its retail mutual funds into two separate and distinct trusts with
different distribution models and pricing structures. Over time, the funds
offered under these two trusts have been substantially similar. Given Janus
Capital's evolving distribution model focused on servicing the intermediary and
advisor marketplace and the overlapping similarity of fund offerings in the two
trusts, Janus Capital believes that it is in the best interests of all fund
shareholders to merge funds of the two trusts that have the same or
substantially similar investment objectives, strategies, policies and risks.
These reorganizations will create one mutual fund platform with multi-share
class pricing intended to meet the needs of all investors. Through the
reorganizations, shareholders are expected to benefit from the following:

- The reorganizations provide Janus fund shareholders with the opportunity
to continue to invest in a Janus mutual fund offering the same or
substantially similar investment objectives, strategies, policies and
risks, and with the same portfolio management, as their current fund, but
as part of an enhanced fund platform;
- Janus Capital will have the opportunity to operate its platform more
efficiently, providing the potential to reduce possible inefficiencies
arising from having similarly managed mutual funds in the same fund
complex;

- As a result of the reorganizations, certain Janus funds will have larger
asset bases, which may result in the elimination of duplicative expenses
and lead to lower expense ratios in the future; and
- Janus Capital's evolving distribution model will permit different types
of shareholders to invest in the same Janus fund providing shareholders
more investment options and the opportunity to invest in funds that have
a more stable asset base.

It is also noteworthy that the Reorganization is designed to qualify as a
tax-free reorganization, so shareholders of JAD Balanced Fund should not realize
a tax gain or loss as a direct result of the Reorganization.

Janus Capital met with the Trustees, all of whom are not "interested
persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) ("Independent Trustees"), counsel to the
Funds and counsel to the Independent Trustees on September 5, 2008, October 2,
2008, February 25, 2009 and March 11-12, 2009 to discuss Janus Capital's
proposal to reorganize the Funds. At each meeting, the Independent Trustees also
discussed this proposal and the Plan with their independent counsel in executive
session. During the course of these meetings, the Trustees requested and
considered such information as they deemed relevant to their deliberations.

At the joint meeting of the Boards of Trustees of the JIF Trust and the JAD
Trust held on March 12, 2009, the Trustees determined that (1) the
Reorganization is in the best interests of JAD Balanced Fund and JIF Balanced
Fund; and (2) the Plan should be approved by the Trustees. In making these
determinations, the Trustees considered the following factors, among others:

(1) The Reorganization is part of a larger strategic repositioning of
Janus Capital's distribution model for Janus mutual funds that is
designed to offer certain potential benefits to Fund shareholders that
are not currently available, including a more diverse Fund shareholder
base, the potential for a more stable level of Fund assets, and access
to a wider range of Janus funds with differing investment strategies.
(2) The current conditions and trends in the securities markets and
related trends in the investment management business, and their
current and potential impact on Janus Capital, the JAD Trust and Fund
shareholders.

(3) JAD Balanced Fund has the same investment objective, strategies,
policies and risks as JIF Balanced Fund, and the two Funds are managed
by the same co-portfolio managers.

(4) The two Funds have similar historical performance.

(5) Shareholders of each Fund will have the opportunity to invest in a
larger Fund and potentially benefit from long-term economies of scale
that may result from the Reorganization.

(6) Fund expenses are not expected to increase materially as a result of
the Reorganization, and Janus Capital anticipates that in the future,
the elimination of some duplicative expenses and the opportunity for
economies of scale may result in lower future fund expenses (other
than management fees).

(7) Both Funds have the same contractual investment advisory fee rate
(excluding any fee waivers).

(8) The expense limitation agreements applicable to each Fund which, after
giving effect to fee waivers after the Reorganization, may result in
current JAD Balanced Fund shareholders paying higher fees in the
short-term, but provides greater longer term certainty with respect to
total expense ratios.
(9) The benefits of the Reorganization to Janus Capital and its
affiliates, including, among other things, that Janus Capital should
derive greater efficiency, in terms of portfolio management and
operations, by managing a single fund rather than two separate funds
with substantially the same investment objective, strategies, policies
and risks.
(10) The Reorganization would not dilute the interests of either Fund's
current shareholders.

(11) The impact of the Reorganization on the ability of JIF Balanced Fund
to benefit from using a portion of the realized capital losses
generated by JAD Balanced Fund and JIF Balanced Fund, as applicable.

(12) The Reorganization, for each Fund and its shareholders, is expected to
be tax-free in nature.

(13) JAD Balanced Fund's shareholders will not pay any fees of the
Reorganization, and immediately after the Reorganization, the full and
fractional value of their shares in JIF Balanced Fund will be equal to
the full and fractional value of their JAD Balanced Fund holdings
immediately prior to the Reorganization.

Based on these considerations, among others, the Boards of Trustees of the
JAD Trust and JIF Trust concluded that: (1) the Reorganization is in the best
interests of JAD Balanced Fund and JIF Balanced Fund; and (2) the interests of
the existing shareholders of each Fund will not be diluted as a result of the
Reorganization. Accordingly, the Trustees approved the Plan.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

As a condition to the Reorganization, the JAD Trust and the JIF Trust will
receive a legal opinion from Dechert LLP, special counsel to Janus Capital,
substantially to the effect that, subject to customary assumptions and
representations, on the basis of the existing provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder and current administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, for
federal income tax purposes:

- the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of JAD Balanced
Fund solely in exchange for shares of JIF Balanced Fund and the
assumption by JIF Balanced Fund of all liabilities of JAD Balanced Fund,
and the distribution of such shares to the shareholders of JAD Balanced
Fund, will constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section
368(a) of the Code;
- no gain or loss will be recognized by JAD Balanced Fund on the transfer
of the assets of JAD Balanced Fund to JIF Balanced Fund in exchange for
JIF Balanced

Fund shares or the assumption by JIF Balanced Fund of all liabilities of
JAD Balanced Fund or upon the distribution of JIF Balanced Fund shares to
JAD Balanced Fund shareholders in exchange for their shares of JAD
Balanced Fund;

- the tax basis of JAD Balanced Fund's assets acquired by JIF Balanced Fund
will be the same to JIF Balanced Fund as the tax basis of such assets to
JAD Balanced Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization, and the
holding period of the assets of JAD Balanced Fund in the hands of JIF
Balanced Fund will include the period during which those assets were held
by JAD Balanced Fund;
- no gain or loss will be recognized by JIF Balanced Fund upon the receipt
of the assets of JAD Balanced Fund solely in exchange for JIF Balanced
Fund shares and the assumption by JIF Balanced Fund of all liabilities of
JAD Balanced Fund;
- no gain or loss will be recognized by shareholders of JAD Balanced Fund
upon the receipt of JIF Balanced Fund shares by such shareholders,
provided such shareholders receive solely JIF Balanced Fund shares
(including fractional shares) in exchange for their JAD Balanced Fund
shares; and

- the aggregate tax basis of JIF Balanced Fund shares, including any
fractional shares, received by each shareholder of JAD Balanced Fund
pursuant to the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate tax
basis of JAD Balanced Fund shares held by such shareholder immediately
prior to the Reorganization, and the holding period of JIF Balanced Fund
shares, including fractional shares, to be received by each shareholder
of JAD Balanced Fund will include the period during which JAD Balanced
Fund shares exchanged were held by such shareholder (provided that JAD
Balanced Fund shares were held as a capital asset on the Closing Date).

The receipt of such an opinion is a condition to the consummation of the
Reorganization. The JAD Trust has not obtained an Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") private letter ruling regarding the federal income tax consequences of
the Reorganization, and the IRS is not bound by advice of counsel. If the
transfer of the assets of JAD Balanced Fund in exchange for JIF Balanced Fund
shares and the assumption by JIF Balanced Fund of all liabilities of JAD
Balanced Fund does not constitute a tax-free reorganization, each JAD Balanced
Fund shareholder generally will recognize a gain or loss approximately equal to
the difference between the value of JIF Balanced Fund shares such shareholder
acquires and the tax basis of such shareholder's JAD Balanced Fund shares.

Prior to the Closing Date, JAD Balanced Fund may pay to its shareholders a
cash distribution consisting of any undistributed investment company taxable
income and/or any undistributed realized net capital gains, including any gains
realized from any sales of assets prior to the Closing Date, which may be
attributable to portfolio transitioning. This distribution would be taxable to
shareholders that are subject to tax.

Shareholders of JAD Balanced Fund should consult their tax advisers
regarding the effect, if any, of the Reorganization in light of their individual
circumstances. Since the foregoing discussion relates only to the federal income
tax consequences of the

Reorganization, shareholders of JAD Balanced Fund should also consult tax
advisers as to state and local tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization.

As of July 31, 2008, JAD Balanced Fund did not have any accumulated capital
loss carryforwards. As of October 31, 2008, JIF Balanced Fund had accumulated
capital loss carryforwards of $4,346,992. The final amount of the accumulated
capital loss carryforwards for JAD Balanced Fund and JIF Balanced Fund is
subject to change and will not be determined until the time of the
Reorganization. After and as a result of the Reorganization, these accumulated
capital loss carryforwards may in part be subject to limitations under
applicable tax laws. As a result, JIF Balanced Fund may not be able to use some
or all of these losses, if any, as quickly as each Fund may have used these
losses in the absence of the Reorganization, and part of these losses may not be
useable at all. The Boards of Trustees of the JAD Trust and JIF Trust took this
factor into account in concluding that the Reorganization would be in the best
interests of the Funds.

OTHER COMPARATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS

INVESTMENT ADVISER

Janus Capital, 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206-4805, is the
investment adviser to each Fund. Janus Capital is responsible for the day-to-day
management of each Fund's investment portfolio and furnishes continuous advice
and recommendations concerning each Fund's investments. Janus Capital also
provides certain administrative and other services and is responsible for other
business affairs of each Fund.

Janus Capital (together with its predecessors) has served as investment
adviser to Janus mutual funds since 1970 and currently serves as investment
adviser to all of the Janus funds, acts as subadviser for a number of private-
label mutual funds, and provides separate account advisory services for
institutional accounts.

Janus Capital furnishes certain administrative, compliance, and accounting
services for the Funds, and may be reimbursed by the Funds for its costs in
providing those services. In addition, employees of Janus Capital and/or its
affiliates serve as officers of the JIF Trust and the JAD Trust, and Janus
Capital provides office space for the Funds and pays all or a portion of the
salaries, fees, and expenses of all Fund officers (with some shared expenses
with the Funds of compensation payable to the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer
and compliance staff) and those Trustees who are considered interested persons
of Janus Capital. As of the date of this Prospectus/Information Statement, none
of the members of the Board of Trustees are "affiliated persons" of Janus
Capital as that term is defined by the 1940 Act.

PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES BY JANUS CAPITAL OR ITS AFFILIATES

From its own assets, Janus Capital or its affiliates may pay fees to
selected brokerage firms or other financial intermediaries that sell shares of
the Janus funds for distribution, marketing, promotional, or related services.
Such payments may be based on gross sales, assets under management, or
transactional charges, or on a combination of these factors. The amount of these
payments is determined from time to time by Janus Capital, may be substantial,
and may differ for different financial intermediaries. Payments based primarily
on sales create an incentive to make new sales of shares, while payments based
on assets create an incentive to retain previously sold shares. Sales- and
asset-based payments currently range up to 25 basis points on sales and up to 20
basis points on average annual net assets of shares held through the
intermediary and are subject to change. Payments based on transactional charges
may include the payment or reimbursement of all or a portion of "ticket
charges." Ticket charges are fees charged to salespersons purchasing through a
financial intermediary firm in connection with mutual fund purchases,
redemptions, or exchanges. The payment or reimbursement of ticket charges
creates an incentive for salespersons of an intermediary to sell shares of Janus
funds over shares of funds for which there is lesser or no payment or
reimbursement of any applicable ticket charge. Janus Capital and its affiliates
consider a number of factors in making payments to financial intermediaries,
including the distribution capabilities of the intermediary, the overall quality
of the relationship, expected gross and/or net sales generated by the
relationship, redemption and retention rates of assets held through the
intermediary, the willingness of the intermediary to cooperate with Janus
Capital's marketing efforts, access to sales personnel, and the anticipated
profitability of sales through the institutional relationship. These factors may
change from time to time. Currently, these payments are limited to the top 100
distributors (measured by sales or expected sales of shares of the Janus funds).

For all share classes of the Janus funds, Janus Capital, Janus
Distributors, or their affiliates may pay fees, from their own assets, to
brokerage firms, banks, financial advisors, retirement plan service providers,
and other financial intermediaries for providing other marketing or
distribution-related services, as well as recordkeeping, subaccounting,
transaction processing, and other shareholder or administrative services
(including payments for processing transactions via National Securities Clearing
Corporation ("NSCC") or other means) in connection with investments in the Janus
funds. These fees are in addition to any fees that may be paid by the Janus
funds for these types of services or other services.

In addition, Janus Capital or its affiliates may also share certain
marketing expenses with intermediaries, or pay for or sponsor informational
meetings, seminars, client awareness events, support for marketing materials, or
business building programs for such intermediaries, to raise awareness of the
Janus funds. Such payments may be in addition to, or in lieu of, sales-based,
asset-based, and transaction-based payments. These payments are intended to
promote the sales of Janus funds and to reimburse financial intermediaries,
directly or indirectly, for the costs that they or their salespersons incur in
connection with educational seminars, meetings, and training efforts about the
Janus funds to enable the intermediaries and their salespersons to make suitable
recommendations, provide useful services, and maintain the necessary
infrastructure to make the Janus funds available to their customers.

The receipt of (or prospect of receiving) sales-, asset-, and/or
transaction-based payments or reimbursements and other forms of compensation
described above may provide a financial intermediary and its salespersons with
an incentive to favor sales of Janus funds' shares over sales of other mutual
funds (or non-mutual fund investments) or to favor sales of one class of Janus
funds' shares over sales of another Janus funds' share class with respect to
which the financial intermediary does not receive such payments or receives them
in a lower amount. The receipt of these payments may cause certain financial
intermediaries to elevate the prominence of the Janus funds within such
financial intermediary's organization by, for example, placement on a list of
preferred or recommended funds and/or the provision of preferential or enhanced
opportunities to promote the Janus funds in various ways within such financial
intermediary's organization.

The payment arrangements described above will not change the price an
investor pays for shares nor the amount that a Janus fund receives to invest on
behalf of the investor. You should consider whether such arrangements exist when
evaluating any recommendations from an intermediary to purchase or sell shares
of the Funds and when considering which share class of a Fund is most
appropriate for you. Please contact your financial intermediary or plan sponsor
for details on such arrangements.

MANAGEMENT EXPENSES

Each Fund currently pays Janus Capital an annual fixed investment advisory
fee rate that is calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.55%
of the Fund's average daily net assets. Each Fund's investment advisory
agreement details the

investment advisory fee and other expenses that each Fund must pay. Each Fund
incurs expenses not assumed by Janus Capital, including any transfer agent and
custodian fees and expenses, legal and auditing fees, printing and mailing costs
of sending reports and other information to existing shareholders, and
Independent Trustees' fees and expenses. JAD Balanced Fund incurs additional
expenses not assumed by Janus Capital, including distribution and shareholder
servicing fees (12b-1 fee) (applicable to Class A, Class C, Class R and Class S
Shares) and administrative services fees (applicable to Class R and Class S
Shares). The following table reflects each Fund's contractual annual investment
advisory fee rate and the actual annual investment advisory fee rate paid by
each Fund to Janus Capital (gross and net of fee waivers, if applicable).

(2) Janus Capital has agreed to limit the Fund's total annual fund operating
expenses (excluding the distribution and shareholder servicing fees
(applicable to Class A, Class C, Class R and Class S Shares), administrative
services fee (applicable to Class R and Class S Shares) and brokerage
commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses
including, but not limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to the
extent such operating expenses exceed 0.57% until at least December 1, 2009.
Application of the expense waiver and its effect on annual fund operating
expenses is reflected, when applicable, in a footnote to the Annual Fund
Operating Expenses table in the "Comparison of Fees and Expenses" section of
this Prospectus/Information Statement, and additional information is
included under "Expense Limitations." The waiver is not reflected in the
contractual fee rate shown.

The basis for the Trustees' approval of the current investment advisory
agreement for JAD Balanced Fund is included in JAD Balanced Fund's unaudited
Semiannual Report to shareholders dated January 31, 2009. The basis for the
Trustees' approval of the current investment advisory agreement for JIF Balanced
Fund is currently not available to shareholders, but will be included in JIF
Balanced Fund's unaudited Semiannual Report to shareholders dated April 30,
2009. For a discussion regarding the basis for the Trustees' approval of the
prior investment advisory agreement for JIF Balanced Fund, please refer to JIF
Balanced Fund's unaudited Semiannual Report to shareholders dated April 30,
2008.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FEES

As noted above, upon the consummation of the Reorganization, Class A, Class
C, Class I, Class R and Class S Shares of JIF Balanced Fund will be established
with substantially the same class characteristics as the Class A, Class C, Class
I, Class R and Class S Shares of JAD Balanced Fund, respectively. There will be
no change in the terms of administrative services fees paid by shareholders of
Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S Shares after the Reorganization.

Janus Services LLC, the transfer agent of the JAD Trust and the JIF Trust,
receives an administrative services fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the
average daily net

assets of Class R and Class S Shares of each Fund for providing, or arranging
for the provision of, administrative services, including recordkeeping,
subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networked accounts, or other
shareholder services provided on behalf of investors. Order processing includes
the submission of transactions through the NSCC or similar systems, or those
processed on a manual basis with Janus Services LLC. Janus Services LLC expects
to use all or a significant portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan
service providers and other financial intermediaries for providing these
services to their customers who invest in the Funds.

With respect to transactions in or for administrative services provided to
Class A, Class C and Class I Shares of the Funds, certain intermediaries may
charge fees for administrative services, including recordkeeping, subaccounting,
order processing for omnibus or networked accounts, or other shareholder
services provided by intermediaries on behalf of the shareholders of the Funds.
Order processing includes the submission of transactions through the NSCC or
similar systems or processed on a manual basis with Janus Services LLC. These
administrative fees are paid by Class A, Class C and Class I Shares of each Fund
to Janus Services LLC, which uses such fees to reimburse intermediaries. Because
the form and amount charged varies by intermediary, the amount of the
administrative fee borne by the class is an average of all fees charged by
intermediaries. In the event an intermediary receiving payments from Janus
Services LLC on behalf of a Fund converts from a networking structure to an
omnibus account structure or otherwise experiences increased costs, fees borne
by the shares may increase.

SECURITIES TO BE ISSUED, KEY DIFFERENCES IN SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

JAD Balanced Fund is organized as a separate series of the JAD Trust, a
Delaware statutory trust, and is governed by an Amended and Restated Trust
Instrument ("JAD Trust Instrument") and JAD Bylaws. JIF Balanced Fund is
organized as a separate series of the JIF Trust, a Massachusetts business trust,
and is governed by an Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust
dated March 18, 2003, as amended from time to time ("JIF Trust Instrument") and
JIF Bylaws.

All shares of a JIF fund participate equally in dividends and other
distributions by the shares of the same class of that fund, and in residual
assets of that class of that fund in the event of liquidation. Shares of each
fund have no preemptive, conversion, or appraisal rights. Shares of all funds in
the JIF Trust have noncumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of
more than 50% of the value of shares of all funds of the JIF Trust voting for
the election of Trustees can elect 100% of the Trustees if they choose to do so.
Shares of a JIF fund may be transferred by endorsement or stock power as is
customary, but a fund is not bound to recognize any transfer until it is
recorded on its books. The funds have the right to redeem, at the then current
NAV, the shares of any shareholder whose account does not meet certain minimum
requirements as described in the funds' prospectus(es).

Key differences affecting the rights of shareholders under the JAD Trust
Instrument, JAD Bylaws and Delaware law and the JIF Trust Instrument and JIF
Bylaws and Massachusetts law are presented below, and are qualified in their
entirety by reference to the JAD Trust Instrument and the JIF Trust Instrument.

This Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization
and liquidation within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the United States
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The reorganization (the
"Reorganization") will consist of the transfer by the Predecessor Fund of all or
substantially all of its assets to the Successor Fund, in exchange solely for
[Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S] voting shares of beneficial
interest in the Successor Fund (the "Successor Fund Shares") having an aggregate
net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the same class of
shares of the Predecessor Fund, the assumption by the Successor Fund of all the
liabilities of the Predecessor Fund, and the distribution of the [Class A, Class
C, Class I, Class R and Class S] Successor Fund Shares to the shareholders of
the Predecessor Fund in complete liquidation of the Predecessor Fund as provided
herein, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this
Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of each of the JAD Trust and the JIF Trust
has determined that it is in the best interest of the Predecessor Fund and the
Successor Fund, respectively, that the assets of the Predecessor Fund be
acquired by the Successor Fund pursuant to this Agreement and in accordance with
the applicable statutes of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of
Delaware, and that the interests of existing shareholders will not be diluted as
a result of this transaction;

WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, the Board of Trustees of each of the JAD
Trust and the JIF Trust are entering into separate Plans of Reorganization which
contemplate the reorganization of certain series of the JAD Trust into existing
series of the JIF Trust (each a "Preexisting Fund Reorganization"); and

WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, the Board of Trustees of each of the JAD

A-1

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and
agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as
follows:

1. PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the JAD Trust
shall (i) transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Predecessor
Fund, as set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the Successor Fund, (ii) the JIF Trust
shall cause the Successor Fund to deliver to the JAD Trust full and fractional
[Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S] Successor Fund Shares having an
aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the aggregate net assets of the
same class of shares of the Predecessor Fund as of the close of regular session
trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date, as set forth in
paragraph 2.1 (the "Closing Date") and (iii) the JIF Trust shall cause the
Successor Fund to assume all liabilities of the Predecessor Fund, as set forth
in paragraph 1.2. Such transactions shall take place at the closing provided for
in paragraph 2.1 (the "Closing").

1.2 The assets of the Predecessor Fund to be acquired by the Successor
Fund shall consist of all property, including, without limitation, all cash,
securities, commodities and futures interests, and dividends or interest
receivable which are owned by the Predecessor Fund and any deferred or prepaid
expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Predecessor Fund on the Closing
Date. The Successor Fund will assume all of the liabilities, expenses, costs,
charges and reserves of the Predecessor Fund of any kind, whether absolute,
accrued, contingent or otherwise in existence on the Closing Date.

record of the applicable classes, determined as of immediately after the close
of business on the Closing Date (the "Current Shareholders"), the [Class A,
Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S] Successor Fund Shares received by the JAD
Trust pursuant to paragraph 1.1. Such distribution and liquidation will be
accomplished by the transfer of the [Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and
Class S] Successor Fund Shares then credited to the accounts of the Predecessor
Fund on the books of the Successor Fund to open accounts on the share records of
the Successor Fund in the names of the Current Shareholders and representing the
respective pro rata number of the [Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class
S] Successor Fund Shares due to such shareholders. All issued and outstanding
shares of the Predecessor Fund will simultaneously be canceled on the books of
the JAD Trust. The Successor Fund shall not issue certificates representing the
[Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S] Successor Fund Shares in
connection with such exchange. Ownership of [Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R
and Class S] Successor Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the JIF Trust's
transfer agent. As soon as practicable after the Closing, the JAD Trust shall
take all steps necessary to effect a complete liquidation of the Predecessor
Fund.

ownership of outstanding shares of the Predecessor Fund owned by each such
shareholder immediately prior to the Closing. The Successor Fund shall issue and
deliver a confirmation evidencing the [Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and
Class S] Successor Fund Shares to be credited on the Closing Date to the
Secretary of the JAD Trust or provide evidence satisfactory to the JAD Trust

have been credited to the accounts of the Predecessor Fund on the books of the

APPENDIX B

OTHER INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES AND RELATED RISKS
OF THE FUNDS

Unless otherwise stated within its specific investment policies, each Fund
may also invest in other types of domestic and foreign securities and use other
investment strategies as described below. These securities and strategies are
not principal investment strategies of the Funds. If successful, they may
benefit the Funds by earning a return on the Funds' assets or reducing risk;
however, they may not achieve the Funds' objective. Additional information
regarding these investment techniques and risks is included in each Fund's
Statement of Additional Information. These securities and strategies may
include:

EQUITY AND DEBT SECURITIES

BANK LOANS include institutionally-traded floating and fixed-rate debt
securities generally acquired as a participation interest in or assignment of a
loan originated by a lender or financial institution. Assignments and
participations involve credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. Interest rates
on floating rate securities adjust with interest rate changes and/or issuer
credit quality. If a Fund purchases a participation interest, it may only be
able to enforce its rights through the lender and may assume the credit risk of
both the borrower and the lender. Additional risks are involved in purchasing
assignments. If a loan is foreclosed, a Fund may become part owner of any
collateral securing the loan and may bear the costs and liabilities associated
with owning and disposing of any collateral. The Fund could be held liable as a
co-lender. In addition, there is no assurance that the liquidation of any
collateral from a secured loan would satisfy a borrower's obligations or that
any collateral could be liquidated. A Fund may have difficulty trading
assignments and participations to third parties or selling such securities in
secondary markets, which in turn may affect the Fund's NAV.

BONDS are debt securities issued by a company, municipality, government, or
government agency. The issuer of a bond is required to pay the holder the amount
of the loan (or par value of the bond) at a specified maturity and to make
scheduled interest payments.

CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION ("COPS") are certificates representing an
interest in a pool of securities. Holders are entitled to a proportionate
interest in the underlying securities. Municipal lease obligations are often
sold in the form of COPs. Refer to "Municipal lease obligations" below.

COMMERCIAL PAPER is a short-term debt obligation with a maturity ranging
from 1 to 270 days issued by banks, corporations, and other borrowers to
investors seeking to invest idle cash. A Fund may purchase commercial paper
issued in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "1933 Act").

B-1

COMMON STOCKS are equity securities representing shares of ownership in a
company and usually carry voting rights and earn dividends. Unlike preferred
stock, dividends on common stock are not fixed but are declared at the
discretion of the issuer's board of directors.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES are preferred stocks or bonds that pay a fixed
dividend or interest payment and are convertible into common stock at a
specified price or conversion ratio.

DEBT SECURITIES are securities representing money borrowed that must be
repaid at a later date. Such securities have specific maturities and usually a
specific rate of interest or an original purchase discount.

DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS are receipts for shares of a foreign-based corporation
that entitle the holder to dividends and capital gains on the underlying
security. Receipts include those issued by domestic banks (American Depositary
Receipts), foreign banks (Global or European Depositary Receipts), and broker-
dealers (depositary shares).

EQUITY SECURITIES generally include domestic and foreign common stocks;
preferred stocks; securities convertible into common stocks or preferred stocks;
warrants to purchase common or preferred stocks; and other securities with
equity characteristics.

EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS are index-based investment companies which hold
substantially all of their assets in securities with equity characteristics. As
a shareholder of another investment company, a Fund would bear its pro rata
portion of the other investment company's expenses, including advisory fees, in
addition to the expenses the Fund bears directly in connection with its own
operations.

FIXED-INCOME SECURITIES are securities that pay a specified rate of return.
The term generally includes short- and long-term government, corporate, and
municipal obligations that pay a specified rate of interest, dividends, or
coupons for a specified period of time. Coupon and dividend rates may be fixed
for the life of the issue or, in the case of adjustable and floating rate
securities, for a shorter period.

HIGH-YIELD/HIGH-RISK BONDS are bonds that are rated below investment grade
by the primary rating agencies (i.e., BB+ or lower by Standard & Poor's and
Fitch, or Ba or lower by Moody's). Other terms commonly used to describe such
bonds include "lower rated bonds," "non-investment grade bonds," and "junk
bonds."

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS are revenue bonds that are issued by a public
authority but which may be backed only by the credit and security of a private
issuer and may involve greater credit risk. Refer to "Municipal securities"
below.

MORTGAGE- AND ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES are shares in a pool of mortgages or
other debt instruments. These securities are generally pass-through securities,
which means that principal and interest payments on the underlying securities
(less servicing fees) are passed through to shareholders on a pro rata basis.
These securities involve prepayment risk, which is the risk that the underlying
mortgages or other debt may be refinanced or paid off prior to their maturities
during periods of declining interest rates. In that case, a

B-2

Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds from the securities at a lower rate.
Potential market gains on a security subject to prepayment risk may be more
limited than potential market gains on a comparable security that is not subject
to prepayment risk.

MORTGAGE DOLLAR ROLLS are transactions in which a Fund sells a mortgage-
related security, such as a security issued by GNMA, to a dealer and
simultaneously agrees to purchase a similar security (but not the same security)
in the future at a predetermined price. A "dollar roll" can be viewed as a
collateralized borrowing in which a Fund pledges a mortgage-related security to
a dealer to obtain cash.

MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS are revenue bonds backed by leases or
installment purchase contracts for property or equipment. Lease obligations may
not be backed by the issuing municipality's credit and may involve risks not
normally associated with general obligation bonds and other revenue bonds. For
example, their interest may become taxable if the lease is assigned and the
holders may incur losses if the issuer does not appropriate funds for the lease
payments on an annual basis, which may result in termination of the lease and
possible default.

MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are bonds or notes issued by a U.S. state or political
subdivision. A municipal security may be a general obligation backed by the full
faith and credit (i.e., the borrowing and taxing power) of a municipality or a
revenue obligation paid out of the revenues of a designated project, facility,
or revenue source.

PASS-THROUGH SECURITIES are shares or certificates of interest in a pool of
debt obligations that have been repackaged by an intermediary, such as a bank or
broker-dealer.

PASSIVE FOREIGN INVESTMENT COMPANIES (PFICS) are any foreign corporations
which generate certain amounts of passive income or hold certain amounts of
assets for the production of passive income. Passive income includes dividends,
interest, royalties, rents, and annuities. To avoid taxes and interest that a
Fund must pay if these investments are profitable, the Funds may make various
elections permitted by the tax laws. These elections could require that a Fund
recognize taxable income, which in turn must be distributed, before the
securities are sold and before cash is received to pay the distributions.

PAY-IN-KIND BONDS are debt securities that normally give the issuer an
option to pay cash at a coupon payment date or give the holder of the security a
similar bond with the same coupon rate and a face value equal to the amount of
the coupon payment that would have been made.

PREFERRED STOCKS are equity securities that generally pay dividends at a
specified rate and have preference over common stock in the payment of dividends
and liquidation. Preferred stock generally does not carry voting rights.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (REIT) is an investment trust that operates
through the pooled capital of many investors who buy its shares. Investments are
in direct ownership of either income property or mortgage loans.

B-3

RULE 144A SECURITIES are securities that are not registered for sale to the
general public under the 1933 Act, but that may be resold to certain
institutional investors.

STANDBY COMMITMENT is a right to sell a specified underlying security or
securities within a specified period of time and at an exercise price equal to
the amortized cost of the underlying security or securities plus accrued
interest, if any, at the time of exercise, that may be sold, transferred, or
assigned only with the underlying security or securities. A standby commitment
entitles the holder to receive same day settlement, and will be considered to be
from the party to whom the investment company will look for payment of the
exercise price.

STEP COUPON BONDS are high-quality issues with above-market interest rates
and a coupon that increases over the life of the bond. They may pay monthly,
semiannual, or annual interest payments. On the date of each coupon payment, the
issuer decides whether to call the bond at par, or whether to extend it until
the next payment date at the new coupon rate.

STRIP BONDS are debt securities that are stripped of their interest
(usually by a financial intermediary) after the securities are issued. The
market value of these securities generally fluctuates more in response to
changes in interest rates than interest-paying securities of comparable
maturity.

TENDER OPTION BONDS are relatively long-term bonds that are coupled with
the option to tender the securities to a bank, broker-dealer, or other financial
institution at periodic intervals and receive the face value of the bond. This
investment structure is commonly used as a means of enhancing a security's
liquidity.

U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES include direct obligations of the U.S.
Government that are supported by its full faith and credit. Treasury bills have
initial maturities of less than one year, Treasury notes have initial maturities
of one to ten years, and Treasury bonds may be issued with any maturity but
generally have maturities of at least ten years. U.S. Government securities also
include indirect obligations of the U.S. Government that are issued by federal
agencies and government sponsored entities. Unlike Treasury securities, agency
securities generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Government. Some agency securities are supported by the right of the issuer to
borrow from the Treasury, others are supported by the discretionary authority of
the U.S. Government to purchase the agency's obligations, and others are
supported only by the credit of the sponsoring agency.

VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES have variable or floating rates of
interest and, under certain limited circumstances, may have varying principal
amounts. Variable and floating rate securities pay interest at rates that are
adjusted periodically according to a specified formula, usually with reference
to some interest rate index or market interest rate (the "underlying index").
The floating rate tends to decrease the security's price sensitivity to changes
in interest rates.

WARRANTS are securities, typically issued with preferred stock or bonds,
which give the holder the right to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at
a specified price.

B-4

The specified price is usually higher than the market price at the time of
issuance of the warrant. The right may last for a period of years or
indefinitely.

ZERO COUPON BONDS are debt securities that do not pay regular interest at
regular intervals, but are issued at a discount from face value. The discount
approximates the total amount of interest the security will accrue from the date
of issuance to maturity. The market value of these securities generally
fluctuates more in response to changes in interest rates than interest-paying
securities.

FUTURES, OPTIONS, AND OTHER DERIVATIVES

CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS are a specific kind of counterparty agreement that
allows the transfer of third party credit risk from one party to the other. One
party in the swap is a lender and faces credit risk from a third party, and the
counterparty in the credit default swap agrees to insure this risk in exchange
for regular periodic payments.

EQUITY-LINKED STRUCTURED NOTES are derivative securities which are
specially designed to combine the characteristics of one or more underlying
securities and their equity derivatives in a single note form. The return and/or
yield or income component may be based on the performance of the underlying
equity securities, an equity index, and/or option positions. Equity-linked
structured notes are typically offered in limited transactions by financial
institutions in either registered or non-registered form. An investment in
equity-linked notes creates exposure to the credit risk of the issuing financial
institution, as well as to the market risk of the underlying securities. There
is no guaranteed return of principal with these securities, and the appreciation
potential of these securities may be limited by a maximum payment or call right.
In certain cases, equity-linked notes may be more volatile and less liquid than
less complex securities or other types of fixed-income securities. Such
securities may exhibit price behavior that does not correlate with other fixed-
income securities.

EQUITY SWAPS involve the exchange by two parties of future cash flow (e.g.,
one cash flow based on a referenced interest rate and the other based on the
performance of stock or a stock index).

FORWARD CONTRACTS are contracts to purchase or sell a specified amount of a
financial instrument for an agreed upon price at a specified time. Forward
contracts are not currently exchange-traded and are typically negotiated on an
individual basis. A Fund may enter into forward currency contracts for
investment purposes or to hedge against declines in the value of securities
denominated in, or whose value is tied to, a currency other than the U.S. dollar
or to reduce the impact of currency appreciation on purchases of such
securities. It may also enter into forward contracts to purchase or sell
securities or other financial indices.

FUTURES CONTRACTS are contracts that obligate the buyer to receive and the
seller to deliver an instrument or money at a specified price on a specified
date. A Fund may buy and sell futures contracts on foreign currencies,
securities, and financial indices including indices of U.S. Government, foreign
government, equity, or fixed-income securities. A Fund may also buy options on
futures contracts. An option on a futures

B-5

contract gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a
futures contract at a specified price on or before a specified date. Futures
contracts and options on futures are standardized and traded on designated
exchanges.

INDEXED/STRUCTURED SECURITIES are typically short- to intermediate-term
debt securities whose value at maturity or interest rate is linked to
currencies, interest rates, equity securities, indices, commodity prices, or
other financial indicators. Such securities may be positively or negatively
indexed (e.g., their value may increase or decrease if the reference index or
instrument appreciates). Indexed/structured securities may have return
characteristics similar to direct investments in the underlying instruments and
may be more volatile than the underlying instruments. A Fund bears the market
risk of an investment in the underlying instruments, as well as the credit risk
of the issuer.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS involve the exchange by two parties of their respective
commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate
payments for fixed rate payments).

INVERSE FLOATERS are debt instruments whose interest rate bears an inverse
relationship to the interest rate on another instrument or index. For example,
upon reset, the interest rate payable on the inverse floater may go down when
the underlying index has risen. Certain inverse floaters may have an interest
rate reset mechanism that multiplies the effects of change in the underlying
index. Such mechanism may increase the volatility of the security's market
value.

OPTIONS are the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a specified
amount of securities or other assets on or before a fixed date at a
predetermined price. A Fund may purchase and write put and call options on
securities, securities indices, and foreign currencies. A Fund may purchase or
write such options individually or in combination.

PARTICIPATORY NOTES are derivative securities which are linked to the
performance of an underlying Indian security and which allow investors to gain
market exposure to Indian securities without trading directly in the local
Indian market.

TOTAL RETURN SWAPS involve an exchange by two parties in which one party
makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other
party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes
both the income it generates and any capital gains over the payment period.

OTHER INVESTMENTS, STRATEGIES, AND/OR TECHNIQUES

CASH SWEEP PROGRAM is an arrangement in which a Fund's uninvested cash
balance is used to purchase shares of affiliated or non-affiliated money market
funds or cash management pooled investment vehicles at the end of each day.

INDUSTRY CONCENTRATION for purposes under the 1940 Act is the investment of
more than 25% of a Fund's total assets in an industry or group of industries.

MARKET CAPITALIZATION is the most commonly used measure of the size and
value of a company. It is computed by multiplying the current market price of a
share of the

B-6

company's stock by the total number of its shares outstanding. Market
capitalization is an important investment criterion for certain funds, while
others do not emphasize investments in companies of any particular size.

NONDIVERSIFICATION is a classification given to a fund under the 1940 Act.
Funds are classified as either "diversified" or "nondiversified." To be
classified as "diversified" under the 1940 Act, a fund may not, with respect to
75% of its total assets, invest more than 5% of its total assets in any issuer
and may not own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of an issuer.
A fund that is classified under the 1940 Act as "nondiversified," on the other
hand, is not subject to the same restrictions and therefore has the flexibility
to take larger positions in a smaller number of issuers than a fund that is
classified as "diversified." This gives a "nondiversified" fund more flexibility
to focus its investments in companies that the portfolio managers and/or
investment personnel have identified as the most attractive for the investment
objective and strategy of a fund but also may increase the risk of a fund.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS involve the purchase of a security by a Fund and a
simultaneous agreement by the seller (generally a bank or dealer) to repurchase
the security from the Fund at a specified date or upon demand. This technique
offers a method of earning income on idle cash. These securities involve the
risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that
case, a Fund will bear the risk of market value fluctuations until the security
can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the
security.

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS involve the sale of a security by a Fund to
another party (generally a bank or dealer) in return for cash and an agreement
by the Fund to buy the security back at a specified price and time. This
technique will be used primarily to provide cash to satisfy unusually high
redemption requests, or for other temporary or emergency purposes.

SHORT SALES in which a Fund may engage may be either "short sales against
the box" or other short sales. Short sales against the box involve selling short
a security that a Fund owns, or the Fund has the right to obtain the amount of
the security sold short at a specified date in the future. A Fund may also enter
into a short sale to hedge against anticipated declines in the market price of a
security or to reduce portfolio volatility. If the value of a security sold
short increases prior to the scheduled delivery date, the Fund loses the
opportunity to participate in the gain. For short sales, the Fund will incur a
loss if the value of a security increases during this period because it will be
paying more for the security than it has received from the purchaser in the
short sale. If the price declines during this period, a Fund will realize a
short-term capital gain. Although a Fund's potential for gain as a result of a
short sale is limited to the price at which it sold the security short less the
cost of borrowing the security, its potential for loss is theoretically
unlimited because there is no limit to the cost of replacing the borrowed
security.

B-7

WHEN-ISSUED, DELAYED DELIVERY, AND FORWARD COMMITMENT TRANSACTIONS
generally involve the purchase of a security with payment and delivery at some
time in the future - i.e., beyond normal settlement. A Fund does not earn
interest on such securities until settlement and bears the risk of market value
fluctuations in between the purchase and settlement dates. New issues of stocks
and bonds, private placements, and U.S. Government securities may be sold in
this manner.

B-8

APPENDIX C

SHAREHOLDER'S GUIDE

This Prospectus/Information Statement relates to five separate classes of
shares ("Shares"): Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S of Janus
Balanced Fund (the "JIF Balanced Fund"), a series of Janus Investment Fund (the
"Trust"). JIF Balanced Fund currently does not offer shares of any of these
classes. However, upon consummation of the reorganization of Janus Adviser
Balanced Fund with and into JIF Balanced Fund (the "Reorganization"), JIF
Balanced Fund will complete the registration of Shares of these classes pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, and start offering these shares. JIF Balanced Fund currently
only offers one class of shares (the "Initial Class"), which is not offered in
this Prospectus/Information Statement. Please refer to JIF Balanced Fund's
prospectus dated February 27, 2009 (the "JIF Balanced Fund's Prospectus") for
information about shares of this Initial Class. You can obtain a free copy of
that document by contacting your broker-dealer, plan sponsor, or financial
intermediary or by calling a Janus representative at 1-877-335-2687. The
information below relates to classes of JIF Balanced Fund as of the date they
are created.

PURCHASE PROCEDURES, EXCHANGE RIGHTS, AND REDEMPTION PROCEDURES

Investors may not purchase, exchange, or redeem Class A, Class C, Class R
and Class S Shares of JIF Balanced Fund directly. Shares may be purchased,
exchanged, or redeemed only through retirement plans, broker-dealers, bank trust
departments, financial advisers, or other financial intermediaries. Class A and
Class C Shares made available through full service broker-dealers are primarily
available only through wrap accounts under which such broker-dealers impose
additional fees for services connected to the wrap account. Class S Shares are
only available to broker-dealers in connection with their customers' investment
in the Shares through (1) retirement plans and (2) asset allocation, wrap fee,
fee-in-lieu of commission, or other discretionary or nondiscretionary investment
advisory programs under which such broker-dealers charge asset-based fees. This
restriction on Class S Shares does not apply to broker-dealers that had existing
agreements to purchase the Shares on behalf of their customers prior to
September 30, 2004. Not all financial intermediaries offer all classes of
shares. CONTACT YOUR FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY OR REFER TO YOUR PLAN DOCUMENTS FOR
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PURCHASE, EXCHANGE, OR REDEEM SHARES.

Class I Shares may generally be purchased, exchanged, or redeemed only
through the following types of financial intermediaries and by certain
institutional investors. Class I Shares are offered through financial
intermediaries (including, but not limited to, broker-dealers, retirement plans,
bank trust departments, and financial advisors) who do not require payment from
JIF Balanced Fund or its service providers for the provision of distribution or
shareholder retention services, except for administrative (networking, omnibus
positioning) fees. Administrative (networking, omnibus positioning) fees may

C-1

be paid by JIF Balanced Fund to financial intermediaries for Class I Shares
processed through certain securities clearing systems. Institutional investors
may include, but are not limited to, corporations, retirement plans, public
plans, and foundations/endowments. Class I Shares are not offered directly to
individual investors. Not all financial intermediaries offer all classes of
shares. FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PURCHASE, EXCHANGE, OR REDEEM SHARES, CONTACT
YOUR FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY, A JANUS REPRESENTATIVE AT 1-800-333-1181, OR REFER
TO YOUR PLAN DOCUMENTS.

With certain limited exceptions, JIF Balanced Fund is available only to
U.S. citizens or residents.

PRICING OF JIF BALANCED FUND SHARES

The per share net asset value ("NAV") for each class is computed by
dividing the total value of assets allocated to the class, less liabilities
allocated to that class, by the total number of outstanding shares of the class.
JIF Balanced Fund's NAV is calculated as of the close of the regular trading
session of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (normally 4:00 p.m. New York
time) each day that the NYSE is open ("business day"). However, the NAV may be
calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the
SEC. Because foreign securities markets may operate on days that are not
business days in the United States, the value of JIF Balanced Fund's holdings
may change on days that are not business days in the United States and on which
you will not be able to purchase or redeem JIF Balanced Fund's Shares.

The price you pay for purchases of Class A Shares and Class C Shares is the
public offering price, which is the NAV next determined after your order is
received in good order by JIF Balanced Fund or its agent, plus, for Class A
Shares, any applicable initial sales charge. The price you pay to sell Class A
Shares and Class C Shares is also the NAV, although a contingent deferred sales
charge may be taken out of the proceeds. All purchases and redemptions of Class
I Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares will be duly processed at the NAV
next calculated after your request is received in good order by JIF Balanced
Fund or its agent. Your financial intermediary may charge you a separate or
additional fee for processing purchases and redemptions of Shares. In order to
receive a day's price, your order must be received in good order by JIF Balanced
Fund or its agent by the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE.

Securities held by JIF Balanced Fund are generally valued at market value.
Certain short-term instruments maturing within 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value. If a market quotation for a
security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable, or if an event that
is expected to affect the value of the security occurs after the close of the
principal exchange or market on which the security is traded, and before the
close of the NYSE, a fair value of the security (except for short-term
instruments maturing within 60 days or less) will be determined in good faith
under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of JIF
Balanced Fund's Board of Trustees. Such events include, but are not limited to:
(i) a significant event that may affect the securities of a single issuer, such
as a merger, bankruptcy, or significant issuer-specific development; (ii) an
event that may affect an entire market, such as a

C-2

natural disaster or significant governmental action; and (iii) a non-significant
event such as a market closing early or not opening, or a security trading halt.
JIF Balanced Fund may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an
independent pricing service to value foreign equity securities in order to
adjust for stale pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign
exchanges and the close of the NYSE. While fair value pricing may be more
commonly used with foreign equity securities, it may also be used with, among
other things, thinly-traded domestic securities or fixed-income securities.

Due to the subjective nature of fair value pricing, JIF Balanced Fund's
value for a particular security may be different from the last quoted market
price. Fair value pricing may reduce arbitrage activity involving the frequent
buying and selling of mutual fund shares by investors seeking to take advantage
of a perceived lag between a change in the value of JIF Balanced Fund's
portfolio securities and the reflection of such change in JIF Balanced Fund's
NAV, as further described in the "Excessive Trading" section in this Appendix C.
While funds that invest in foreign securities may be at a greater risk for
arbitrage activity, such activity may also arise in funds which do not invest in
foreign securities, for example, when trading in a security held by a fund is
halted and does not resume prior to the time the fund calculates its NAV
(referred to as "stale pricing"). Funds that hold thinly-traded securities, such
as certain small-capitalization securities, may be subject to attempted use of
arbitrage techniques. To the extent that JIF Balanced Fund's valuation of a
security is different from the security's market value, short-term arbitrage
traders may dilute the NAV of JIF Balanced Fund, which negatively impacts long-
term shareholders. JIF Balanced Fund's fair value pricing and excessive trading
policies and procedures may not completely eliminate short-term trading in
certain omnibus accounts and other accounts traded through intermediaries.

The value of the securities of other open-end funds held by JIF Balanced
Fund, if any, will be calculated using the NAV of such underlying funds, and the
prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they
use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

If you hold Class I Shares in an account through a financial intermediary
or plan sponsor or if you hold Shares of Class A, Class C, Class R or Class S,
all purchases, exchanges, redemptions, or other account activity must be
processed through your financial intermediary or plan sponsor. Your financial
intermediary or plan sponsor is responsible for promptly transmitting purchase,
redemption, and other requests to JIF Balanced Fund under the arrangements made
between your financial intermediary or plan sponsor and its customers. JIF
Balanced Fund is not responsible for the failure of any financial intermediary
or plan sponsor to carry out its obligations to its customers.

CHOOSING A SHARE CLASS

As noted above, upon the closing of the Reorganization, and subject to
certain contingencies, JIF Balanced Fund will start offering shares of Class A,
Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S. Each class represents an interest in the
same portfolio of

C-3

investments, but has different charges and expenses, allowing you to choose the
class that best meets your needs. When choosing a share class, you should
consider:

- how much you plan to invest;
- how long you expect to own the shares;
- the expenses paid by each class; and
- whether you qualify for any reduction or waiver of any sales charges.

You should also consult your financial intermediary about which class is
most suitable for you. The following table summarizes some of the factors you
should consider with respect to each class of shares.*

* Information in this table is qualified in its entirety by reference to more
detailed description in the sections below. Your financial intermediary may
charge you a separate or additional fee for purchases and redemptions of
Shares.
(1) The initial sales charge is reduced for purchases of $50,000 or more and is
waived for purchases of $1 million or more.
(2) May also be waived under certain circumstances.
(3) Investors in a defined contribution plan through a third party administrator

DISTRIBUTION, SERVICING, AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES

DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLANS

Under distribution and shareholder servicing plans adopted in accordance
with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Class A Shares and Class C Shares (the
"Class A Plan" and "Class C Plan," respectively), JIF Balanced Fund may pay
Janus Distributors LLC, the Trust's distributor ("Janus Distributors"), a fee
for the sale and distribution of

C-4

Class A Shares and Class C Shares at an annual rate up to 0.25% and 1.00% of the
average daily net assets of Class A Shares and Class C Shares of JIF Balanced
Fund, respectively. Under the Class A and the Class C Plans, Janus Distributors
may pay all or a portion of 12b-1 fees to retirement plan service providers,
broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial
intermediaries, as compensation for distribution and shareholder account
services performed by such entities for their customers who are investors in JIF
Balanced Fund.

Under a distribution and shareholder servicing plan adopted in accordance
with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Class R Shares and Class S Shares (the
"Class R Plan" and "Class S Plan," respectively), JIF Balanced Fund may pay
Janus Distributors a fee for the sale and distribution of Class R Shares and
Class S Shares at an annual rate of up to 0.50% and 0.25% of the average daily
net assets of Class R Shares and Class S Shares of JIF Balanced Fund,
respectively. Under the terms of the Class R and Class S Plans, the Trust is
authorized to make payments to Janus Distributors for remittance to retirement
plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial
advisors, and other financial intermediaries, as compensation for distribution
and shareholder account services performed by such entities for their customers
who are investors in JIF Balanced Fund.

Financial intermediaries may from time to time be required to meet certain
criteria in order to receive 12b-1 fees. Janus Distributors is entitled to
retain all fees paid under the Class C Plan for the first 12 months on any
investment in Class C Shares to recoup its expenses with respect to the payment
of commissions on sales of Class C Shares. Financial intermediaries will become
eligible for compensation under the Class C Plan beginning in the 13th month
following the purchase of Class C Shares, although Janus Distributors may,
pursuant to a written agreement between Janus Distributors and a particular
financial intermediary, pay such financial intermediary 12b-1 fees prior to the
13th month following the purchase of Class C Shares. Janus Distributors is
entitled to retain some or all fees payable under the Class A, Class C, Class R
and Class S Plans in certain circumstances, including when there is no broker of
record or when certain qualification standards have not been met by the broker
of record. Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of JIF Balanced Fund's assets on an
ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost of your investment and may
cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

ADMINISTRATIVE FEES - CLASS A, CLASS C AND CLASS I SHARES

Certain intermediaries may charge fees for administrative services,
including recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or
networked accounts, or other shareholder services provided by intermediaries on
behalf of the shareholders of JIF Balanced Fund. Order processing includes the
submission of transactions through the National Securities Clearing Corporation
("NSCC") or similar systems, or those processed on a manual basis with Janus.
These administrative fees are paid by the Shares of JIF Balanced Fund to Janus
Services LLC ("Janus Services"), which uses such fees to reimburse
intermediaries. Because the form and amount charged varies by intermediary,

C-5

the amount of the administrative fee borne by the class is an average of all
fees charged by intermediaries. In the event an intermediary receiving payments
from Janus Services on behalf of JIF Balanced Fund converts from a networking
structure to an omnibus account structure, or otherwise experiences increased
costs, fees borne by the Shares may increase.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FEE - CLASS R AND CLASS S SHARES

Janus Services, the Trust's transfer agent, receives an administrative
services fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of
Class R Shares and Class S Shares of JIF Balanced Fund for providing, or
arranging for the provision of, administrative services, including
recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networked
accounts, or other shareholder services provided on behalf of investors. Order
processing includes the submission of transactions through the NSCC or similar
systems, or those processed on a manual basis with Janus. Janus Services expects
to use all or a significant portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan
service providers and other financial intermediaries for providing these
services to their customers who invest in JIF Balanced Fund.

PURCHASES

Purchases of Class A, Class C, Class R or Class S Shares may generally be
made only through institutional channels such as retirement plans, broker-
dealers, and other financial intermediaries. Contact your financial intermediary
or refer to your plan documents for information on how to invest in JIF Balanced
Fund, including additional information on minimum initial or subsequent
investment requirements.

Purchases of Class I Shares may generally be made only through financial
intermediaries and by certain institutional investors. Contact your financial
intermediary, a Janus representative (1-800-333-1181), or refer to your plan
documents for information on how to invest in JIF Balanced Fund, including
additional information on minimum initial or subsequent investment requirements.

Your financial intermediary may charge you a separate or additional fee for
purchases of Shares. Only certain financial intermediaries are authorized to
receive purchase orders on JIF Balanced Fund's behalf. As discussed under the
section titled "The Reorganization - Other Comparative Information about the
Funds" in this Prospectus/Information Statement, Janus Capital Management LLC
("Janus Capital"), JIF Balanced Fund's investment adviser, and its affiliates
may make payments to brokerage firms or other financial intermediaries that were
instrumental in the acquisition or retention of shareholders for JIF Balanced
Fund or that provide services in connection with investments in JIF Balanced
Fund. You should consider such arrangements when evaluating any recommendation
of JIF Balanced Fund.

JIF Balanced Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order,
including exchange purchases, for any reason. JIF Balanced Fund is not intended
for excessive

C-6

trading. For more information about JIF Balanced Fund's policy on excessive
trading, refer to the "Excessive Trading" section in this Appendix C.

In compliance with the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing
Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 ("USA
PATRIOT Act"), your financial intermediary is required to verify certain
information on your account application as part of its Anti-Money Laundering
Program. You will be required to provide your full name, date of birth, social
security number, and permanent street address to assist in verifying your
identity. You may also be asked to provide documents that may help to establish
your identity. Until verification of your identity is made, your financial
intermediary may temporarily limit additional share purchases. In addition, your
financial intermediary may close an account if they are unable to verify a
shareholder's identity. Please contact your financial intermediary if you need
additional assistance when completing your application or additional information
about the intermediary's Anti-Money Laundering Program.

MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS

The minimum investment for Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class S
Shares is $2,500 per JIF Balanced Fund account for non-retirement accounts and
$500 per JIF Balanced Fund account for certain tax-deferred accounts or
UGMA/UTMA accounts. Investors in a defined contribution plan through a third
party administrator should refer to their plan document or contact their plan
administrator for additional information. In addition, accounts held through
certain wrap programs may not be subject to these minimums. Investors should
refer to their intermediary for additional information.

The minimum investment for Class I Shares is $1 million for institutional
investors. Institutional investors generally may meet the minimum investment
amount by aggregating multiple accounts within JIF Balanced Fund. Accounts
offered through an intermediary institution must meet the minimum investment
requirements of $500 for tax-deferred accounts and $2,500 for other account
types. Directors, officers, and employees of Janus Capital Group Inc. ("JCGI")
and its affiliates, as well as Trustees and officers of JIF Balanced Fund, may
purchase Class I Shares through certain financial intermediaries' institutional
platforms. For more information about this program and eligibility requirements,
please contact a Janus representative at 1-800-333-1181. Exceptions to these
minimums may apply for certain tax-deferred, tax-qualified and retirement plans,
and accounts held through certain wrap programs. For additional information,
contact your intermediary, plan sponsor, administrator, or a Janus
representative, as applicable.

With respect to Class R Shares, investors in a defined contribution plan
through a third party administrator should refer to their plan document or
contact their plan administrator for information regarding account minimums. For
all other account types, the minimum investment is $2,500.

JIF Balanced Fund reserves the right to annually request that
intermediaries close JIF Balanced Fund accounts that are valued at less than
$100, other than as a result solely

C-7

of depreciation in share value. Certain accounts held through intermediaries may
not be subject to closure due to the policies of the intermediaries. You may
receive written notice from your intermediary to increase your account balance
to the required minimum to avoid having your account closed. If you hold Class I
Shares directly with JIF Balanced Fund, you may receive written notice prior to
the closure of your JIF Balanced Fund account so that you may increase your
account balance to the required minimum. Please note that you may incur a tax
liability as a result of a redemption.

The maximum purchase in Class C Shares is $500,000 for any single purchase.
There is no limitation on maximum purchase of Class A, Class I, Class R and
Class S Shares.

JIF Balanced Fund reserves the right to change the amount of these minimums
or maximums from time to time or to waive them in whole or in part.

SYSTEMATIC PURCHASE PLAN

You may arrange for periodic purchases by authorizing your financial
intermediary (or a Janus representative, if you are a holder of Class I Shares
and you hold Class I Shares directly with JIF Balanced Fund) to withdraw the
amount of your investment from your bank account on a day or days you specify.
Not all financial intermediaries offer this plan. Contact your financial
intermediary for details.

CLASS A SHARES SALES CHARGE

An initial sales charge may apply to your purchase of Class A Shares of JIF
Balanced Fund based on the amount invested, as set forth in the table below. The
sales charge is allocated between Janus Distributors and your financial
intermediary. Sales charges, as expressed as a percentage of offering price and
as a percentage of your net investment, are shown in the table. The dollar
amount of your initial sales charge is calculated as the difference between the
public offering price and the net asset value of those shares. Since the
offering price is calculated to two decimal places using standard rounding
criteria, the number of shares purchased and the dollar amount of your sales
charge as a percentage of the offering price and of your net investment may be
higher or lower than the amounts set forth in the table depending on whether
there was a downward or upward rounding.

<Table>

--------

(1) Offering price includes the initial sales charge.
(2) Compared to Class C Shares, the sales charge and expense structure of Class
A Shares may be more advantageous for investors purchasing more than
$500,000 of JIF Balanced Fund shares.
(3) A deferred sales charge of 1.00% may apply to Class A Shares purchased
without an initial sales charge if redeemed within 12 months of purchase.

Janus Distributors may pay financial intermediaries commissions on
purchases of Class A Shares as follows:

- 1.00% on amounts from $1,000,000 to $4,000,000;
- plus 0.50% on amounts greater than $4,000,000 to $10,000,000;
- plus 0.25% on amounts over $10,000,000.

The purchase totals eligible for these commissions are aggregated on a
rolling one year basis so that the rate payable resets to the highest rate
annually.

QUALIFYING FOR A REDUCTION OR WAIVER OF CLASS A SHARES SALES CHARGE

You may be able to lower your Class A Shares sales charge under certain
circumstances. For example, you can combine Class A Shares and Class C Shares
you already own (either in this JIF Balanced Fund or certain other Janus funds)
with your current purchase of Class A Shares of JIF Balanced Fund and certain
other Janus funds (including Class C Shares of those funds) to take advantage of
the breakpoints in the sales charge schedule as set forth above. Certain
circumstances under which you may combine such ownership of Shares and purchases
are described below. Contact your financial intermediary for more information.

Class A Shares of JIF Balanced Fund may be purchased without an initial
sales charge by the following persons (and their spouses and children under 21
years of age): (i) registered representatives and other employees of
intermediaries that have selling agreements with Janus Distributors to sell
Class A Shares; (ii) directors, officers, and employees of JCGI and its
affiliates; and (iii) trustees and officers of the Trust. In addition, the
initial sales charge may be waived on purchases of Class A Shares through
financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with Janus
Distributors that allows the waiver of the sales charge.

In order to obtain a sales charge discount, you should inform your
financial intermediary of other accounts in which there are JIF Balanced Fund
holdings eligible to be aggregated to meet a sales charge breakpoint. These
other accounts may include the accounts described under "Aggregating Accounts"
below. You may need to provide documents such as account statements or
confirmation statements to prove that the accounts are eligible for aggregation.
The Letter of Intent described below requires historical cost information in
certain circumstances. You should retain records necessary to show the price you
paid to purchase JIF Balanced Fund shares, as JIF Balanced Fund, its agents, or
your financial intermediary may not retain this information.

C-9

RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION. You may purchase Class A Shares of JIF Balanced
Fund at a reduced sales charge determined by aggregating the dollar amount of
the new purchase (measured by the offering price) and the total prior day's net
asset value (net amount invested) of all Class A Shares of JIF Balanced Fund and
of certain other classes (Class A Shares and Class C Shares of the Trust) of
Janus funds then held by you, or held in accounts identified under "Aggregating
Accounts" below, and applying the sales charge applicable to such aggregate
amount. In order for your purchases and holdings to be aggregated for purposes
of qualifying for such discount, they must have been made through one financial
intermediary and you must provide sufficient information to your financial
intermediary at the time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase
qualifies for the reduced sales charge. The right of accumulation is subject to
modification or discontinuance at any time with respect to all shares purchased
thereafter.

LETTER OF INTENT. You may obtain a reduced sales charge on Class A Shares
by signing a Letter of Intent indicating your intention to purchase $50,000 or
more of Class A Shares (including Class A Shares in other series of the Trust)
over a 13-month period. The term of the Letter of Intent will commence upon the
date you sign the Letter of Intent. You must refer to such Letter when placing
orders. With regard to a Letter of Intent, the amount of investment for purposes
of applying the sales load schedule includes (i) the historical cost (what you
actually paid for the shares at the time of purchase, including any sales
charges) of all Class A Shares acquired during the term of the Letter of Intent,
minus (ii) the value of any redemptions of Class A Shares made during the term
of the Letter of Intent. Each investment made during the period receives the
reduced sales charge applicable to the total amount of the investment goal. A
portion of shares purchased may be held in escrow to pay for any sales charge
that may be applicable. If the goal is not achieved within the period, you must
pay the difference between the sales charges applicable to the purchases made
and the charges previously paid, or an appropriate number of escrowed shares
will be redeemed. Please contact your financial intermediary to obtain a Letter
of Intent application.

AGGREGATING ACCOUNTS. To take advantage of lower Class A Shares sales
charges on large purchases or through the exercise of a Letter of Intent or
right of accumulation, investments made by you, your spouse, and your children
under age 21 may be aggregated if made for your own account(s) and/or certain
other accounts such as:

- trust accounts established by the above individuals (or the accounts of
the primary beneficiary of the trust if the person who established the
trust is deceased);
- solely controlled business accounts; and
- single participant retirement plans.

To receive a reduced sales charge under rights of accumulation or a Letter
of Intent, you must notify your financial intermediary of any eligible accounts
that you, your spouse, and your children under age 21 have at the time of your
purchase.

C-10

You may access information regarding sales loads, breakpoint discounts, and
purchases of JIF Balanced Fund's shares, free of charge, and in a clear and
prominent format, at janus.com/breakpoints, and by following the appropriate
hyperlinks to the specific information.

COMMISSION ON CLASS C SHARES

Janus Distributors may compensate your financial intermediary at the time
of sale at a commission rate of 1.00% of the net asset value of the Class C
Shares purchased. Service providers to qualified plans will not receive this
amount if they receive 12b-1 fees from the time of initial investment of
qualified plan assets in Class C Shares.

EXCHANGES

Contact your financial intermediary or consult your plan documents to
exchange into other funds in the Trust. Be sure to read the prospectus of the
fund into which you are exchanging. An exchange is generally a taxable
transaction (except for certain tax-deferred accounts).

- You may generally exchange shares of JIF Balanced Fund for shares of the
same class of any other fund in the Trust offered through your financial
intermediary or qualified plan.
- You must meet the minimum investment amount for each fund.
- JIF Balanced Fund reserves the right to reject any exchange request and
to modify or terminate the exchange privilege at any time.
- The exchange privilege is not intended as a vehicle for short-term or
excessive trading. JIF Balanced Fund may suspend or terminate your
exchange privilege if you engage in an excessive pattern of exchanges.
- With respect to exchange of Class I Shares, accounts holding Class I
Shares directly with JIF Balanced Fund may make up to four round trips in
JIF Balanced Fund in a 12-month period, although JIF Balanced Fund at all
times reserves the right to reject any exchange purchase for any reason
without prior notice. Generally, a "round trip" is a redemption out of
JIF Balanced Fund (by any means) followed by a purchase back into JIF
Balanced Fund (by any means). JIF Balanced Fund will work with
intermediaries to apply JIF Balanced Fund's exchange limit. However, JIF
Balanced Fund may not always have the ability to monitor or enforce the
trading activity in such accounts.
- For more information about JIF Balanced Fund's policy on excessive
trading, refer to the "Excessive Trading" section in this Appendix C.

WAIVER OF SALES CHARGES

Class A Shares received through an exchange of Class A Shares of another
fund of the Trust will not be subject to any initial sales charge of JIF
Balanced Fund's Class A Shares. Class A Shares or Class C Shares received
through an exchange of Class A Shares or Class C Shares, respectively, of
another fund of the Trust will not be subject to any applicable contingent
deferred sales charge ("CDSC") at the time of the exchange.

C-11

Any CDSC applicable to redemptions of Class A Shares or Class C Shares will
continue to be measured on the Shares received by exchange from the date of your
original purchase. For more information about the CDSC, please refer to
"Redemptions." While Class C Shares do not have any front-end sales charges,
their higher annual fund operating expenses mean that over time, you could end
up paying more than the equivalent of the maximum allowable front-end sales
charge.

REDEMPTIONS

Redemptions, like purchases, of Class A, Class C, Class R and Class S
Shares may generally be effected only through retirement plans, broker-dealers,
and financial intermediaries. Please contact your financial intermediary or
refer to the appropriate plan documents for details.

Redemptions, like purchases, of Class I Shares may generally be effected
only through financial intermediaries and by certain institutional investors.
Please contact your financial intermediary, a Janus representative (1-800-333-
1181), or refer to the appropriate plan documents for details.

Your financial intermediary may charge a processing or service fee in
connection with the redemption of Shares.

Shares of JIF Balanced Fund may be redeemed on any business day on which
JIF Balanced Fund's NAV is calculated. Redemptions are duly processed at the NAV
next calculated after your redemption order is received in good order by JIF
Balanced Fund or its agent. Redemption proceeds, less any applicable CDSC for
Class A Shares and Class C Shares, will normally be sent the business day
following receipt of the redemption order.

If you hold Class A, Class C, Class I or Class S Shares, you should note
that JIF Balanced Fund reserves the right to annually request that
intermediaries close JIF Balanced Fund accounts that are valued at less than
$100, other than as a result solely of depreciation in share value. Certain
accounts held through intermediaries may not be subject to closure due to the
policies of the intermediaries. You may receive written notice from your
intermediary to increase your account balance to the required minimum to avoid
having your account closed. In addition, if you hold Class I Shares directly
with JIF Balanced Fund, you may receive written notice prior to the closure of
your JIF Balanced Fund account so that you may increase your account balance to
the required minimum. Please note that you may incur a tax liability as a result
of a redemption.

REDEMPTIONS IN-KIND

Shares normally will be redeemed for cash, although JIF Balanced Fund
retains the right to redeem some or all of its shares in-kind under unusual
circumstances, in order to protect the interests of remaining shareholders, to
accommodate a request by a particular shareholder that does not adversely affect
the interest of the remaining shareholders, or in connection with the
liquidation of a fund, by delivery of securities selected from its

C-12

assets at its discretion. However, JIF Balanced Fund is required to redeem
shares solely for cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the NAV of JIF
Balanced Fund during any 90-day period for any one shareholder. Should
redemptions by any shareholder exceed such limitation, JIF Balanced Fund will
have the option of redeeming the excess in cash or in-kind. In-kind payment
means payment will be made in portfolio securities rather than cash. If this
occurs, the redeeming shareholder might incur brokerage or other transaction
costs to convert the securities to cash.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN

You may arrange for periodic redemptions of Class A Shares or Class C
Shares by authorizing your financial intermediary to redeem a specified amount
from your account on a day or days you specify. Any resulting CDSC may be waived
through financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with Janus
Distributors. The maximum annual rate at which shares subject to a CDSC may be
redeemed, pursuant to a systematic withdrawal plan, without paying a CDSC, is
12% of the net asset value of the account. Certain other terms and minimums may
apply. Not all financial intermediaries offer this plan. Contact your financial
intermediary for details.

You may arrange for periodic redemptions of Class I Shares by authorizing
your financial intermediary (or a Janus representative, if you hold Shares
directly with JIF Balanced Fund) to redeem a specified amount from your account
on a day or days you specify. Not all financial intermediaries offer this plan.
Contact your financial intermediary or a Janus representative for details.

You may arrange for periodic redemptions of Class R Shares or Class S
Shares by authorizing your financial intermediary to redeem a specified amount
from your account on a day or days you specify. Not all financial intermediaries
offer this plan. Contact your financial intermediary for details.

CLASS A SHARES AND CLASS C SHARES CDSC

A 1.00% CDSC may be deducted with respect to Class A Shares purchased
without an initial sales charge if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, unless
any of the CDSC waivers listed below apply. A 1.00% CDSC will be deducted with
respect to Class C Shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase, unless a CDSC
waiver applies. The CDSC will be based on the lower of the original purchase
price or the value of the redemption of the Class A Shares or Class C Shares
redeemed, as applicable.

CDSC WAIVERS

There are certain cases in which you may be exempt from a CDSC charged to
Class A Shares and Class C Shares. Among others, these include:

- Upon the death or disability of an account owner;
- Retirement plans and certain other accounts held through a financial
intermediary that has entered into an agreement with Janus Distributors
to waive CDSCs for such accounts;

C-13

- Retirement plan shareholders taking required minimum distributions;
- The redemption of Class A Shares or Class C Shares acquired through
reinvestment of JIF Balanced Fund dividends or distributions;
- The portion of the redemption representing appreciation as a result of an
increase in NAV above the total amount of payments for Class A Shares or
Class C Shares during the period during which the CDSC applied; or
- If JIF Balanced Fund chooses to liquidate or involuntarily redeem shares
in your account.

To keep the CDSC as low as possible, Class A Shares or Class C Shares not
subject to any CDSC will be redeemed first, followed by shares held longest.

REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE - CLASS A SHARES

After you have redeemed Class A Shares, you have a one-time right to
reinvest the proceeds within 90 days of the redemption date at the current NAV
(without an initial sales charge). You will not be reimbursed for any CDSC paid
on your redemption of Class A Shares.

EXCESSIVE TRADING

EXCESSIVE TRADING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Board of Trustees of JIF Balanced Fund has adopted policies and
procedures with respect to short-term and excessive trading of Fund shares
("excessive trading"). JIF Balanced Fund is intended for long-term investment
purposes only, and the Fund will take reasonable steps to attempt to detect and
deter short-term and excessive trading. Transactions placed in violation of JIF
Balanced Fund's excessive trading policies may be cancelled or revoked by the
Fund by the next business day following receipt by the Fund. The trading history
of accounts determined to be under common ownership or control within any of the
Janus funds may be considered in enforcing these policies and procedures. As
described below, however, JIF Balanced Fund may not be able to identify all
instances of excessive trading or completely eliminate the possibility of
excessive trading. In particular, it may be difficult to identify excessive
trading in certain omnibus accounts and other accounts traded through
intermediaries. By their nature, omnibus accounts, in which purchases and
redemptions of JIF Balanced Fund's shares by multiple investors are aggregated
by the intermediary and presented to the Fund on a net basis, may effectively
conceal the identity of individual investors and their transactions from the
Fund and its agents. This makes the elimination of excessive trading in the
accounts impractical without the assistance of the intermediary.

JIF Balanced Fund attempts to deter excessive trading through at least the
following methods:

- trade monitoring;

- fair valuation of securities as described under "Pricing of Fund Shares;"
and
- redemption fees (where applicable on certain classes of certain funds).

C-14

Generally, a purchase and redemption of shares from JIF Balanced Fund
within 90 calendar days (i.e., "round trip") may result in enforcement of JIF
Balanced Fund's excessive trading policies and procedures with respect to future
purchase orders, provided that the Fund reserves the right to reject any
purchase request as explained above.

JIF Balanced Fund monitors for patterns of shareholder frequent trading and
may suspend or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who
makes more than one round trip in JIF Balanced Fund over a 90-day period and may
bar future purchases into the Fund and any of the other Janus funds by such
investor. JIF Balanced Fund's excessive trading policies generally do not apply
to a (i) money market fund, although money market funds at all times reserve the
right to reject any purchase request (including exchange purchases) for any
reason without prior notice; and (ii) transactions in the Janus funds by a Janus
"fund of funds," which is a fund that primarily invests in other Janus mutual
funds.

JIF Balanced Fund's Board of Trustees may approve from time to time a
redemption fee to be imposed by any Janus fund, subject to 60 days' notice to
shareholders of that fund.

Investors who place transactions through the same financial intermediary on
an omnibus basis may be deemed part of a group for the purpose of JIF Balanced
Fund's excessive trading policies and procedures and may be rejected in whole or
in part by the Fund. JIF Balanced Fund, however, cannot always identify or
reasonably detect excessive trading that may be facilitated by financial
intermediaries or made difficult to identify through the use of omnibus accounts
by those intermediaries that transmit purchase, exchange, and redemption orders
to JIF Balanced Fund, and thus the Fund may have difficulty curtailing such
activity. Transactions accepted by a financial intermediary in violation of JIF
Balanced Fund's excessive trading policies may be cancelled or revoked by the
Fund by the next business day following receipt by the Fund.

In an attempt to detect and deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts,
JIF Balanced Fund or its agents may require intermediaries to impose
restrictions on the trading activity of accounts traded through those
intermediaries. Such restrictions may include, but are not limited to, requiring
that trades be placed by U.S. mail, prohibiting future purchases by investors
who have recently redeemed Fund shares, requiring intermediaries to report
information about customers who purchase and redeem large amounts, and similar
restrictions. JIF Balanced Fund's ability to impose such restrictions with
respect to accounts traded through particular intermediaries may vary depending
on the systems capabilities, applicable contractual and legal restrictions, and
cooperation of those intermediaries.

Certain transactions in Fund shares, such as periodic rebalancing (no more
frequently than quarterly) or those which are made pursuant to systematic
purchase, exchange, or redemption programs generally do not raise excessive
trading concerns and normally do not require application of JIF Balanced Fund's
methods to detect and deter excessive trading.

C-15

JIF Balanced Fund also reserves the right to reject any purchase request
(including exchange purchases) by any investor or group of investors for any
reason without prior notice, including, in particular, if the trading activity
in the account(s) is deemed to be disruptive to the Fund. For example, JIF
Balanced Fund may refuse a purchase order if the Fund's portfolio managers
believe they would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with
the Fund's investment policies or the Fund would otherwise be adversely affected
due to the size of the transaction, frequency of trading, or other factors.

JIF Balanced Fund's policies and procedures regarding excessive trading may
be modified at any time by the Fund's Board of Trustees.

EXCESSIVE TRADING RISKS

Excessive trading may present risks to JIF Balanced Fund's long-term
shareholders. Excessive trading into and out of JIF Balanced Fund may disrupt
portfolio investment strategies, may create taxable gains to remaining Fund
shareholders, and may increase Fund expenses, all of which may negatively impact
investment returns for all remaining shareholders, including long-term
shareholders.

Funds that invest in foreign securities may be at a greater risk for
excessive trading. Investors may attempt to take advantage of anticipated price
movements in securities held by a fund based on events occurring after the close
of a foreign market that may not be reflected in JIF Balanced Fund's NAV
(referred to as "price arbitrage"). Such arbitrage opportunities may also arise
in funds which do not invest in foreign securities, for example, when trading in
a security held by a fund is halted and does not resume prior to the time JIF
Balanced Fund calculates its NAV (referred to as "stale pricing"). Funds that
hold thinly-traded securities, such as certain small-capitalization securities,
may be subject to attempted use of arbitrage techniques. To the extent that JIF
Balanced Fund's valuation of a security differs from the security's market
value, short-term arbitrage traders may dilute the NAV of JIF Balanced Fund,
which negatively impacts long-term shareholders. Although JIF Balanced Fund has
adopted fair valuation policies and procedures intended to reduce the Fund's
exposure to price arbitrage, stale pricing, and other potential pricing
inefficiencies, under such circumstances there is potential for short-term
arbitrage trades to dilute the value of Fund shares.

Although JIF Balanced Fund takes steps to detect and deter excessive
trading pursuant to the policies and procedures described in this Appendix C and
approved by the Board of Trustees, there is no assurance that these policies and
procedures will be effective in limiting excessive trading in all circumstances.
For example, JIF Balanced Fund may be unable to completely eliminate the
possibility of excessive trading in certain omnibus accounts and other accounts
traded through intermediaries. Omnibus accounts may effectively conceal the
identity of individual investors and their transactions from JIF Balanced Fund
and its agents. This makes JIF Balanced Fund's identification of excessive
trading transactions in the Fund through an omnibus account difficult and makes
the elimination of excessive trading in the account impractical without the
assistance of the intermediary. Although JIF Balanced Fund encourages

C-16

intermediaries to take necessary actions to detect and deter excessive trading,
some intermediaries may be unable or unwilling to do so, and accordingly, the
Fund cannot eliminate completely the possibility of excessive trading.

Shareholders that invest through an omnibus account should be aware that
they may be subject to the policies and procedures of their financial
intermediary with respect to excessive trading in JIF Balanced Fund.

AVAILABILITY OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS INFORMATION

The Mutual Fund Holdings Disclosure Policies and Procedures adopted by
Janus Capital and all mutual funds managed within the Janus fund complex are
designed to be in the best interests of the funds and to protect the
confidentiality of the funds' portfolio holdings. The following describes
policies and procedures with respect to disclosure of portfolio holdings of JIF
Balanced Fund.

- FULL HOLDINGS. JIF Balanced Fund is required to disclose its complete
holdings in the quarterly holdings report on Form N-Q within 60 days of
the end of each fiscal quarter, and in the annual report and semiannual
report to fund shareholders. These reports (i) are available on the SEC's
website at http://www.sec.gov; (ii) may be reviewed and copied at the
SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (information on the
Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330); and
(iii) are available without charge, upon request, by calling a Janus
representative at 1-877-335-2687 (toll free). Holdings are generally
posted under the Characteristics tab at janus.com/info approximately two
business days after the end of the following period: portfolio holdings
(excluding cash investments, derivatives, short positions, and other
investment positions), consisting of at least the names of the holdings,
are generally available on a calendar quarter-end basis with a 30-day
lag.

- TOP HOLDINGS. JIF Balanced Fund's top portfolio holdings, in order of
position size and as a percentage of the Fund's total portfolio, are
available monthly with a 15-day lag and on a calendar quarter-end basis
with a 15-day lag. Most funds disclose their top ten portfolio holdings.
However, certain funds disclose only their top five portfolio holdings.

- OTHER INFORMATION. JIF Balanced Fund may occasionally provide security
breakdowns (e.g., industry, sector, regional, market capitalization, and
asset allocation), top performance contributors/detractors, and specific
portfolio level performance attribution information and statistics
monthly with a 30-day lag and on a calendar quarter-end basis with a 15-
day lag.

Full portfolio holdings will remain available on the Janus websites at
least until a Form N-CSR or Form N-Q is filed with the SEC for the period that
includes the date as of which the website information is current. JIF Balanced
Fund discloses its short positions, if applicable, only to the extent required
in regulatory reports. Janus Capital may exclude from publication all or any
portion of portfolio holdings or change the time

C-17

periods of disclosure as deemed necessary to protect the interests of JIF
Balanced Fund, including under extraordinary circumstances exceptions to the
Mutual Fund Holdings Disclosure Policies and Procedures made by Janus Capital's
Chief Investment Officer(s) or their delegates. Such exceptions may be made
without prior notice to shareholders. A summary of JIF Balanced Fund's portfolio
holdings disclosure policies and procedures, which includes a discussion of any
exceptions, is contained in the Fund's SAI.

DISTRIBUTION OF JIF BALANCED FUND

JIF Balanced Fund is distributed by Janus Distributors LLC, which is a
member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"). To obtain
information about FINRA member firms and their associated persons, you may
contact FINRA at www.finra.org, or at 1-800-289-9999.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

DISTRIBUTIONS

To avoid taxation of JIF Balanced Fund, the Internal Revenue Code requires
the Fund to distribute all or substantially all of its net investment income and
any net capital gains realized on its investments at least annually. JIF
Balanced Fund's income from certain dividends, interest, and any net realized
short-term capital gains are paid to shareholders as ordinary income dividends.
Certain dividend income may be reported to shareholders as "qualified dividend
income," which is generally subject to reduced rates of taxation. Net realized
long-term capital gains are paid to shareholders as capital gains distributions,
regardless of how long Shares of the Fund have been held. Distributions are made
at the class level, so they may vary from class to class within a single fund.

DISTRIBUTION SCHEDULE

Dividends from net investment income for JIF Balanced Fund are normally
declared and distributed in March, June, September, and December. For investors
investing through intermediaries, the date you receive your distribution may
vary depending on how your intermediary processes trades. Please consult your
intermediary for details. Distributions of capital gains are normally declared
and distributed in December. If necessary, dividends and net capital gains may
be distributed at other times as well.

HOW DISTRIBUTIONS AFFECT JIF BALANCED FUND'S NAV

Distributions are paid to shareholders as of the record date of a
distribution of JIF Balanced Fund, regardless of how long the shares have been
held. Undistributed dividends and net capital gains are included in JIF Balanced
Fund's daily NAV. The share price of JIF Balanced Fund drops by the amount of
the distribution, net of any subsequent market fluctuations. For example, assume
that on December 31, JIF Balanced Fund declared a dividend in the amount of
$0.25 per share. If JIF Balanced Fund's share price was $10.00 on December 30,
JIF Balanced Fund's share price on

C-18

December 31 would be $9.75, barring market fluctuations. You should be aware
that distributions from a taxable mutual fund do not increase the value of your
investment and may create income tax obligations.

"BUYING A DIVIDEND"

If you purchase shares of JIF Balanced Fund just before a distribution, you
will pay the full price for the shares and receive a portion of the purchase
price back as a taxable distribution. This is referred to as "buying a
dividend." In the above example, if you bought shares on December 30, you would
have paid $10.00 per share. On December 31, JIF Balanced Fund would pay you
$0.25 per share as a dividend and your shares would now be worth $9.75 per
share. Unless your account is set up as a tax-deferred account, dividends paid
to you would be included in your gross income for tax purposes, even though you
may not have participated in the increase in NAV of JIF Balanced Fund, whether
or not you reinvested the dividends. Before buying shares of JIF Balanced Fund
close to year-end, you should consult with your financial intermediary or tax
adviser as to potential tax consequences of any distributions that may be paid
shortly after purchase.

For your convenience, JIF Balanced Fund's distributions of net investment
income and net capital gains are automatically reinvested in JIF Balanced Fund.
To receive distributions in cash, contact your financial intermediary or a Janus
representative at 1-800-525-0020. Whether reinvested or paid in cash, the
distributions may be subject to taxes, unless your shares are held in a
qualified tax-deferred plan or account.

TAXES

As with any investment, you should consider the tax consequences of
investing in JIF Balanced Fund. Any time you sell or exchange shares of a fund
in a taxable account, it is considered a taxable event. For federal income tax
purposes, an exchange is treated the same as a sale. Depending on the purchase
price and the sale price, you may have a gain or loss on the transaction;
whether the gain or loss is long-term or short-term depends on how long you
owned the shares. Any tax liabilities generated by your transactions are your
responsibility.

The following discussion does not apply to qualified tax-deferred accounts
or other non-taxable entities, nor is it a complete analysis of the federal
income tax implications of investing in JIF Balanced Fund. You should consult
your tax adviser if you have any questions. Additionally, state or local taxes
may apply to your investment, depending upon the laws of your state of
residence.

TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS

Distributions by JIF Balanced Fund are subject to federal income tax,
regardless of whether the distribution is made in cash or reinvested in
additional shares of JIF Balanced Fund. When gains from the sale of a security
held by JIF Balanced Fund are paid to shareholders, the rate at which the gain
will be taxed to shareholders depends on

C-19

the length of time JIF Balanced Fund held the security. In certain states, a
portion of the distributions (depending on the sources of JIF Balanced Fund's
income) may be exempt from state and local taxes. JIF Balanced Fund's net
investment income and capital gains are distributed to (and may be taxable to)
those persons who are shareholders of JIF Balanced Fund at the record date of
such payments. Although JIF Balanced Fund's total net income and net realized
gain are the results of its operations, the per share amount distributed or
taxable to shareholders is affected by the number of Fund shares outstanding at
the record date. Generally, account tax information will be made available to
shareholders on or before January 31st of each year. Information regarding
distributions may also be reported to the Internal Revenue Service.

Distributions made by JIF Balanced Fund with respect to Shares purchased
through a qualified retirement plan will generally be exempt from current
taxation if left to accumulate within the qualified plan.

Generally, withdrawals from qualified plans may be subject to ordinary
income tax and, if made before age 59 1/2, a 10% penalty tax may be imposed. The
tax status of your investment depends on the features of your qualified plan.
For further information, please contact your plan sponsor. JIF Balanced Fund may
be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax on all distributions and
redemptions payable to shareholders who fail to provide their correct taxpayer
identification number, fail to make certain required certifications, or who have
been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that they are subject to backup
withholding. The current backup withholding rate is applied.

TAXATION OF JIF BALANCED FUND

Dividends, interest, and some capital gains received by JIF Balanced Fund
on foreign securities may be subject to foreign tax withholding or other foreign
taxes. If JIF Balanced Fund is eligible, it may from year to year make the
election permitted under Section 853 of the Internal Revenue Code to pass
through such taxes to shareholders as a foreign tax credit. If such an election
is not made, any foreign taxes paid or accrued will represent an expense to JIF
Balanced Fund. JIF Balanced Fund's transactions may involve short sales,
futures, options, swap agreements, hedged investments, and other similar
transactions, and may be subject to special provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code that, among other things, can potentially affect the character, amount,
timing of distributions to shareholders, and utilization of capital loss
carryforwards. JIF Balanced Fund will monitor its transactions and may make
certain tax elections and use certain investment strategies where applicable in
order to mitigate the effect of these tax provisions, if possible.

JIF Balanced Fund does not expect to pay any federal income or excise taxes
because it intends to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. It
is important that JIF Balanced Fund meet these requirements so that any earnings
on your investment will not be subject to federal income taxes twice. If JIF
Balanced Fund invests in partnerships, it may be subject to state tax
liabilities.

C-20

APPENDIX D

LEGAL MATTERS

In the fall of 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the
Office of the New York State Attorney General ("NYAG"), the Colorado Attorney
General ("COAG"), and the Colorado Division of Securities ("CDS") announced that
they were investigating alleged frequent trading practices in the mutual fund
industry. On August 18, 2004, Janus Capital announced that it had reached final
settlements with the SEC, the NYAG, the COAG, and the CDS related to such
regulators' investigations into Janus Capital's frequent trading arrangements.

A number of civil lawsuits were brought against Janus Capital and certain
of its affiliates, the Janus funds, and related entities and individuals based
on allegations similar to those announced by the above regulators and were filed
in several state and federal jurisdictions. Such lawsuits alleged a variety of
theories for recovery including, but not limited to, the federal securities
laws, other federal statutes (including ERISA), and various common law
doctrines. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these
actions to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (the "Court")
for coordinated proceedings. On September 29, 2004, five consolidated amended
complaints were filed with the Court, four of which still remain: (i) claims by
a putative class of investors in certain Janus funds asserting claims on behalf
of the investor class (Marini, et al. v. Janus Investment Fund, et al., U.S.
District Court, District of Maryland, Case No. 04-CV-00497); (ii) derivative
claims by investors in certain Janus funds ostensibly on behalf of such funds
(Steinberg et al. v. Janus Capital Management, LLC et al., U.S. District Court,
District of Maryland, Case No. 04-CV-00518); (iii) claims on behalf of
participants in the Janus 401(k) plan (Wangberger v. Janus Capital Group Inc.,
401(k) Advisory Committee, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland,
Case No. JFM-05-2711); and (iv) claims by a putative class of shareholders of
Janus Capital Group Inc. ("JCGI") asserting claims on behalf of the shareholders
(Wiggins, et al. v. Janus Capital Group, Inc., et al., U.S. District Court,
District of Maryland, Case No. 04-CV-00818). Each of the five complaints
initially named JCGI and/or Janus Capital as a defendant. In addition, the
following were also named as defendants in one or more of the actions: Janus
Investment Fund ("JIF"), Janus Aspen Series ("JAS"), Janus Adviser Series
("JAD"), Janus Distributors LLC, INTECH Investment Management LLC ("INTECH")
(formerly named Enhanced Investment Technologies, LLC), Bay Isle Financial LLC
("Bay Isle"), Perkins Investment Management LLC ("Perkins") (formerly named
Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell and Company, LLC), the Advisory Committee of the Janus
401(k) plan, and the current or former directors of JCGI.

On August 25, 2005, the Court entered orders dismissing most of the claims
asserted against Janus Capital and its affiliates by fund investors in the
Marini and Steinberg cases (actions (i) and (ii) above) except certain claims
under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and under Section
36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). On
December 30, 2008, the Court

D-1

granted partial summary judgment in Janus Capital's favor with respect to
Plaintiffs' damage demand as it relates to what was categorized as "approved"
market timing based on the Court's finding that there was no evidence that
investors suffered damages that exceed the $50 million they are entitled to
receive under the regulatory settlement. The Court did not grant summary
judgment on the remaining causes of action and requested the parties to submit
additional briefing with respect to what was categorized as "unapproved" market
timing. Having completed the supplemental briefing, the parties are awaiting a
ruling from the Court. On August 15, 2006, the Wangberger complaint in the
401(k) plan class action (action (iii) above) was dismissed by the Court with
prejudice. The plaintiff appealed that dismissal decision to the United States
Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, which remanded the case back to the
Court for further proceedings. Finally, a Motion to Dismiss the Wiggins suit
(action (iv) above) was granted and the matter was dismissed in May 2007.
Plaintiffs appealed that dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the
Fourth Circuit where the appeal is pending.

In addition to the lawsuits described above, the Auditor of the State of
West Virginia ("Auditor"), in his capacity as securities commissioner, has
initiated administrative proceedings against many of the defendants in the
market timing cases (including JCGI and Janus Capital) and, as a part of its
relief, is seeking disgorgement and other monetary relief based on similar
market timing allegations (In the Matter of Janus Capital Group Inc. et al.,
Before the Securities Commissioner, State of West Virginia, Summary Order No.
05-1320). In September 2006, JCGI and Janus Capital filed their answer to the
Auditor's summary order instituting proceedings as well as a Motion to Discharge
Order to Show Cause. This action is pending.

During 2007, two lawsuits were filed against Janus Management Holdings
Corporation ("Janus Holdings"), an affiliate of JCGI, by former Janus portfolio
managers, alleging that Janus Holdings unilaterally implemented certain changes
to compensation in violation of prior agreements (Edward Keely v. Janus
Holdings, Denver District Court, Case No. 2007CV7366; Tom Malley v. Janus
Holdings, Denver District Court, Case No. 2007CV10719). These complaints allege
some or all of the following claims in addition to other allegations: (1) breach
of contract; (2) willful and wanton breach of contract; (3) breach of good faith
and fair dealing; and (4) estoppel. Janus Holdings filed Answers to these
complaints denying any liability for these claims and intends to vigorously
defend against the allegations.

Additional lawsuits may be filed against certain of the Janus funds, Janus
Capital, and related parties in the future. Janus Capital does not currently
believe that these pending actions will materially affect its ability to
continue providing services it has agreed to provide to the Janus funds.

TRANSFER AGENCY AND OTHER SERVICES

Janus Services LLC ("Janus Services"), P.O. Box 173375, Denver, Colorado
80217-3375, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, is JIF Balanced Fund's
transfer agent. In addition, Janus Services provides certain other
administrative, recordkeeping, and shareholder relations services for JIF
Balanced Fund. Janus Services receives an administrative services fee at an
annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares and
Class S shares of JIF Balanced Fund for providing or procuring recordkeeping,
subaccounting, and other administrative services to investors in Class R shares
and Class S shares of JIF Balanced Fund. Janus Services expects to use a
significant portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan service providers,
broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial
intermediaries for providing these services. Services provided by these
financial intermediaries may include but are not limited to recordkeeping,
processing and aggregating purchase and redemption transactions, providing
periodic statements, forwarding prospectuses, shareholder reports, and other
materials to existing customers, and other administrative services.

Janus Services is not compensated for its services related to Class A
shares, Class C shares, and Class I shares, except for out-of-pocket expenses.
Included in out-of-pocket expenses are the fees charged by certain
intermediaries for administrative services including, but not limited to,
recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networking
accounts, or other shareholders services provided by

intermediaries on behalf of the shareholders of the Funds. Order processing
includes the submission of transactions through the National Securities Clearing
Corporation or similar systems or those processed on a manual basis by Janus
Services.

PURCHASES OF CLASS A SHARES

The price you pay for Class A shares is the public offering price, which is
the NAV next determined after JIF Balanced Fund or its agent receives in good
order your order plus an initial sales charge, if applicable, based on the
amount invested as set forth in the table. JIF Balanced Fund receives the NAV.
The sales charge is allocated between your financial intermediary and Janus
Distributors LLC ("Janus Distributors"), the Trust's distributor, as shown in
the table, except where Janus Distributors, in its discretion, allocates up to
the entire amount to your financial intermediary. Sales charges, as expressed as
a percentage of offering price, a percentage of your net investment, and as a
percentage of the sales charge reallowed to financial intermediaries, are shown
in the table. The dollar amount of your initial sales charge is calculated as
the difference between the public offering price and the NAV of those shares.
Since the offering price is calculated to two decimal places using standard
rounding criteria, the number of shares purchased and the dollar amount of your
sales charge as a percentage of the offering price and of your net investment
may be higher or lower than the amounts set forth in the table depending on
whether there was a downward or upward rounding. Although you pay no initial
sales charge on purchases of $1,000,000 or more, Janus Distributors may pay,
from its own resources, a commission to your financial intermediary on such
investments.

DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLANS

CLASS A SHARES, CLASS R SHARES, AND CLASS S SHARES

As described in the Prospectus/Information Statement, Class A shares, Class
R shares, and Class S shares will each adopt distribution and shareholder
servicing plans (the "Class A Plan," "Class R Plan," and "Class S Plan,"
respectively) in accordance with

Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plans are compensation type plans and permit
the payment at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of
Class A shares and Class S shares and at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the
average daily net assets of Class R shares of a Fund for activities that are
service-related and/or primarily intended to result in sales of Class A shares,
Class R shares, or Class S shares of such Fund, including but not limited to
preparing, printing, and distributing prospectuses, SAIs, shareholder reports,
and educational materials to prospective and existing investors; responding to
inquiries by investors; receiving and answering correspondence and similar
activities. Payments under the Plans are not tied exclusively to actual
distribution and/or service expenses, and the payments may exceed distribution
and service expenses actually incurred. Payments are made to Janus Distributors,
JIF Balanced Fund's distributor, who may make ongoing payments to financial
intermediaries based on the value of Fund shares held by such intermediaries'
customers.

CLASS C SHARES

As described in the Prospectus/Information Statement, Class C shares will
adopt a distribution and shareholder servicing plan (the "Class C Plan") in
accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class C Plan is a
compensation type plan and permits the payment at an annual rate of up to 0.75%
of the average daily net assets of Class C shares of JIF Balanced Fund for
activities which are primarily intended to result in sales of Class C shares of
JIF Balanced Fund. In addition, the Plan permits the payment of up to 0.25% of
the average daily net assets of Class C shares of JIF Balanced Fund for
shareholder servicing activities such as providing facilities to answer
questions from existing investors about JIF Balanced Fund; receiving and
answering correspondence; assisting investors in changing dividend and other
account options and any other activities for which "service fees" may be paid
under Rule 2830 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Conduct
Rules. Payments under the Class C Plan are not tied exclusively to actual
distribution and service expenses, and the payments may exceed distribution and
service expenses actually incurred.

The Plans and any Rule 12b-1 related agreement to be entered into by JIF
Balanced Fund or Janus Distributors in connection with the Plans will continue
in effect for a period of more than one year only so long as continuance is
specifically approved at least annually by a vote of a majority of the Trustees,
and of a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons (as defined in
the 1940 Act) of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest
in the operation of the Plans or any related agreements ("12b-1 Trustees"). All
material amendments to any Plan must be approved by a majority vote of the
Trustees, including a majority of the 12b-1 Trustees, at a meeting called for
that purpose. In addition, any Plan may be terminated as to JIF Balanced Fund at
any time, without penalty, by vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of
that Class of JIF Balanced Fund or by vote of a majority of the 12b-1 Trustees.

Janus Distributors is entitled to retain all fees paid under the Class C
Plan for the first 12 months on any investment in Class C shares to recoup its
expenses with respect to the payment of commissions on sales of Class C shares.
Financial intermediaries will

become eligible for compensation under the Class C Plan beginning in the 13th
month following the purchase of Class C shares, although Janus Distributors may,
pursuant to a written agreement between Janus Distributors and a particular
financial intermediary, pay such financial intermediary 12b-1 fees prior to the
13th month following the purchase of Class C shares.

a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment
company. The JIF Trust has twenty-eight funds. The Funds invest primarily in
equity securities. The Acquiring Fund is classified as diversified as defined in
the 1940 Act. The Acquiring Fund is a no-load investment.

The accompanying pro forma financial statements are presented to show the
effect of the proposed acquisition of JAD Balanced Fund ("Target Fund"), a
series fund. The Target Fund is a part of Janus Adviser Series (the "JAD
Trust"), which is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered
under the 1940 Act, as an open-end management investment company. The JAD Trust
offers thirty funds, which include multiple series of shares with differing
investment objectives and policies. The Target Fund invests primarily in equity
securities and is classified as diversified as defined in the 1940 Act.

The Target Fund offers Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class I Shares,
Class R Shares, and Class S Shares. Each class represents an interest in the
same portfolio of investments. Certain financial intermediaries may not offer
all classes of shares.

Class A Shares and Class C Shares are available in connection with
investments through retirement plans, broker-dealers, bank trust departments,
financial advisers, and other financial intermediaries. Class C Shares have a
minimum initial investment requirement.

Class I Shares are offered only through certain types of financial
intermediaries and to certain institutional investors. Class I Shares are
offered through financial intermediaries (including, but not limited to, broker-
dealers, retirement plans, bank trust departments, and financial advisers) who
do not require payment from a Fund or its service providers for the provision of
distribution, administrative or shareholder retention services, except for
networking and/or omnibus account fees. Networking and/or omnibus account fees
may be paid by the Funds to financial intermediaries for Class I Shares
processed through certain securities clearing systems. Institutional investors
may include, but are not limited to, corporations, retirement plans, public
plans, and foundations/endowments. Class I Shares are not offered directly to
individual investors. Class I Shares have an aggregate account balance
requirement.

Class R Shares are available in connection with investments through
retirement plans, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisers,
and other financial intermediaries.

Class S Shares are available in connection with investments through
retirement plans, broker-dealers (primarily in connection with wrap accounts),
bank trust departments, financial advisers, and other financial intermediaries.

Effective September 30, 2004, two additional classes were added to the
Trust and designated as Class A Shares and Class R Shares. Effective November
28, 2005, the existing Class I Shares were renamed Class S Shares and a new
Class I Shares was added to the Trust.

The accompanying pro forma financial statements are presented to show the
effect of the proposed acquisition of the Target Fund, as if such acquisition
had taken place as of October 31, 2008.

Under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization the combination of Target
Fund and Acquiring Fund will be accounted for by the method of accounting for
tax-free mergers of investment companies. The acquisition would be accomplished
by an acquisition of the net assets of Target Fund in exchange for shares of
Acquiring Fund at net asset value. The statement of assets and liabilities and
the related statement of operation of Target Fund and Acquiring Fund have been
combined as of and for the twelve months ended October 31, 2008. Following the
acquisition, the Acquiring Fund will be the accounting survivor. In accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the
surviving fund and the results of operations for pre-combination periods of the
surviving fund will not be restated.

The accompanying pro forma financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements of the Acquiring Fund and Target Fund
included in their respective annual reports dated October 31, 2008 and July 31,
2008, respectively.

The following notes refer to the accompanying pro forma financial
statements as if the above-mentioned acquisition of Target Fund by Acquiring
Fund had taken place as of October 31, 2008. The following accounting policies
have been consistently followed by the Funds and are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the
investment company industry.

INVESTMENT VALUATION

Securities are valued at the last sales price or the official closing price
for securities traded on a principal securities exchange (U.S. or foreign) and
on the NASDAQ National Market. Securities traded on over-the-counter markets and
listed securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the latest bid
price (or yield equivalent thereof) obtained from one or more dealers
transacting in a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by
the Funds' Trustees. Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less
may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Debt securities with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued in
accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service. The
evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service is an evaluation that
reflects such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings. Short
positions shall be valued in accordance with the same methodologies, except that
in the event that a last sale price is not available, the latest ask price shall
be used instead of a bid price. Foreign securities and currencies are converted
to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate in effect as of the daily
close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). When market quotations are not
readily available or deemed unreliable, or events or circumstances that may
affect the value of portfolio securities held by the Funds are identified
between the closing of their principal markets and the time the net asset value
("NAV") is determined, securities may be valued at fair value as determined in
good faith under procedures established by and under the supervision of the
Funds' Trustees. Circumstances in which fair value pricing may be utilized
include, but are not limited to: (i) when significant events occur which may
affect the securities of a single issuer, such as mergers, bankruptcies, or
significant issuer-specific developments; (ii) when significant events occur
which may affect an entire market, such as natural disasters or significant
governmental actions; and (iii) when non-significant events occur such as
markets closing early or not opening, security trading halts, or pricing of non-
valued securities and restricted or non-public securities. The Funds may use a
systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value
international equity securities in order to adjust for stale pricing, which may
occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the NYSE. Restricted
and illiquid securities are valued in accordance with procedures established by
the Funds' Trustees.

CAPITAL SHARES

The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of shares of
Acquiring Fund that would have been issued at October 31, 2008, in connection
with the proposed reorganization. The number of shares assumed to be issued is
equal to the net asset value of shares of Target Fund, as of October 31, 2008
divided by the net asset value per share of the shares of Acquiring Fund as of
October 31, 2008. The pro forma number of shares outstanding, by class, for the
combined fund consists of the following at October 31, 2008:

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" under
the Internal Revenue Code. After the acquisition, the Acquiring Fund intends to
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the
provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable
sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of taxable
income sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, Federal income
taxes. The identified cost of investments for the funds is substantially the
same for both financial accounting and Federal income tax purposes. The tax cost
of investments will remain unchanged for the combined fund.

Accumulated capital losses, noted below, represent net capital loss
carryovers, as of October 31, 2008, that may be available to offset future
realized capital gains and thereby reduce future taxable gains distributions.
The Target Fund has no capital loss carryover as of July 31, 2008. The following
table shows the expiration dates of the carryovers.

PART C - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 15. Indemnification

Article VI of Janus Investment Fund's Amended and Restated Agreement and
Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification of certain persons acting on
behalf of the Funds. In general, Trustees, officers and Advisory Board members
will be indemnified against liability and against all expenses of litigation
incurred by them in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding (or
settlement of the same) in which they become involved by virtue of their
connection with the Funds, unless their conduct is determined to constitute
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of their
duties. A determination that a person covered by the indemnification provisions
is entitled to indemnification may be made by the court or other body before
which the proceeding is brought, or by either a vote of a majority of a quorum
of Trustees who are neither "interested persons" of the Trust nor parties to the
proceeding or by an independent legal counsel in a written opinion. The Funds
also may advance money for these expenses, provided that the Trustee or officer
undertakes to repay the Funds if his or her conduct is later determined to
preclude indemnification, and that either he or she provide security for the
undertaking, the Trust be insured against losses resulting from lawful advances
or a majority of a quorum of disinterested Trustees, or independent counsel in a
written opinion, determines that he or she ultimately will be found to be
entitled to indemnification. The Trust also maintains a liability insurance
policy covering its Trustees, officers and any Advisory Board members.
