FOR SHAREHOLDERS OF (JANUS LOGO)
JANUS ADVISER SMALL-MID GROWTH FUND

[___________], 2009

Dear Shareholder:

The Board of Trustees for Janus Adviser Small-Mid Growth Fund ("Small-Mid
Growth Fund"), a series of Janus Adviser Series ("JAD Trust"), recently
authorized Janus Capital Management LLC ("Janus Capital") to reorganize
Small-Mid Growth Fund with and into Janus Triton Fund ("Triton Fund," and
together with Small-Mid Growth Fund, the "Funds"), a series of Janus Investment
Fund (the "JIF Trust") (the "Reorganization"). It is expected that the
Reorganization will be completed on or about July 6, 2009 (the "Closing Date")
at which time you will receive shares of Triton Fund equivalent in dollar value
to your shares in Small-Mid Growth Fund as of the Closing Date.

You are not being asked to vote on, or take any other action in connection
with the Reorganization. As of the Closing Date, your assets will automatically
be invested in Triton Fund, which has the same investment objective, strategies,
policies and risks as Small-Mid Growth Fund, and both Funds are managed by the
same portfolio manager.

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 consolidated 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 Small-Mid Growth Fund
into Triton 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:

- The mergers provide Janus fund shareholders with the opportunity to
continue to invest in a Janus mutual fund offering the same or
substantially similar investment objective, 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 fund expenses by
reducing possible inefficiencies arising from having similarly managed
mutual funds in the same fund complex;

- As a result of the mergers, 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 Janus Capital 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 costs 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,

---------------------------------------

INTRODUCTION

This Prospectus/Information Statement is being furnished to shareholders of
Janus Adviser Small-Mid Growth Fund ("Small-Mid Growth 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 Small-Mid Growth
Fund will receive shares of Janus Triton Fund ("Triton Fund," and together with
Small-Mid Growth Fund, the "Funds"), 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 6, 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 Small-Mid
Growth Fund will be transferred to Triton Fund, a Fund also managed by Janus
Capital Management LLC ("Janus Capital"), in exchange for shares of beneficial
interest of Triton Fund and the assumption by Triton Fund of all of the
liabilities of Small-Mid Growth Fund, as described more fully below. As a result
of the Reorganization, each shareholder of Small-Mid Growth Fund will receive a
number of full and fractional shares of Triton Fund equal in value to their
holdings in Small-Mid Growth Fund as of the closing date of the Reorganization.
After the Reorganization is completed, Small-Mid Growth Fund will be liquidated.

Triton Fund is a series of the JIF Trust, an open-end, registered management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Small-Mid Growth
Fund is a series of the JAD Trust, an open-end, registered management investment
company organized as a Delaware statutory trust. Small-Mid Growth Fund and
Triton Fund are each a diversified series within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The investment objective of
both Triton Fund and Small-Mid Growth Fund is to seek long-term growth of
capital.

Janus Capital will remain the investment adviser of Triton Fund after the
Reorganization. Janus Capital is responsible for the day-to-day management of
Small-Mid Growth Fund's and Triton Fund's investment portfolios and furnishes
continuous advice and recommendations concerning each Fund's investments. Janus
Capital, which as of [___________], [2009], sponsored [______] mutual funds with
approximately $[_________] billion in mutual fund assets under management, is
one of the larger mutual fund sponsors in the United States. 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 Triton Fund, Small-Mid Growth Fund and the Reorganization.
This Prospectus/Information Statement is being mailed on or about [______,
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 [__________, 2008], the Board of Trustees of the JAD
Trust approved the Plan which authorizes the reorganization of Small-Mid
Growth Fund with and into Triton Fund, with Triton Fund being the surviving
entity. Small-Mid Growth Fund is a series of the JAD Trust and Triton Fund
is a series of the JIF Trust. Each Fund is managed by Janus Capital. You
are receiving this Prospectus/Information Statement because you are a
shareholder of JAD Small-Mid Growth Fund and will be impacted by the
Reorganization.

Upon the Closing, Small-Mid Growth Fund investors will receive shares of
Triton Fund equivalent in dollar value to their shares in Small-Mid Growth
Fund at the time of the Reorganization. Specifically, all or substantially
all of the assets of Small-Mid Growth Fund will be transferred to Triton
Fund solely in exchange for shares of Triton Fund with a value equal to the
value of Small-Mid Growth Fund's assets net of liabilities, and the
assumption by Triton Fund of all liabilities of Small-Mid Growth Fund.
Immediately following the transfer, the shares of Triton Fund received by
Small-Mid Growth Fund will be distributed pro rata to the Small-Mid Growth
Fund shareholders of record as of the Closing Date (on or about July 6,
2009). After the Reorganization is completed, Small-Mid Growth 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. WHY IS THE REORGANIZATION IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF SMALL-MID GROWTH FUND
SHAREHOLDERS?

A. The Board of Trustees of the JAD Trust concluded that the Reorganization is
in the best interests of Small-Mid Growth Fund's shareholders 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.

- Small-Mid Growth Fund has the same investment objective and
substantially similar investment strategies, policies and risks as
Triton Fund, and the two Funds have been managed by the same portfolio
managers for the past two years.

- The two Funds have similar historical performance.

- Shareholders of each Fund will have the opportunity to invest in a
significantly 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 use the same fixed fee structure in accordance with which
the advisory fee paid by each Fund to Janus Capital is 0.64%.

- The expense limitation agreements applicable to each Fund which, after
giving effect to fee waivers after the Reorganization, may result in
current Small-Mid Growth Fund shareholders paying the same or lower
fees in the short-term, and 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 Triton Fund to
benefit from using a portion of the realized capital losses generated
by Small-Mid Growth Fund and Triton Fund, as applicable, to offset or
defer future gains on the sales of securities in certain
circumstances.

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

- Small-Mid Growth Fund's shareholders will not pay any of the costs of
the Reorganization, and immediately after the Reorganization, the
value of their shares in Triton Fund will be the same as the value of
their Small-Mid Growth 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 growth
of capital. Each Fund has substantially similar investment strategies and
risks. Each Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in
common stocks selected for their growth potential. Each fund invests in
equity securities of small- and medium-sized companies. Generally, small-
and medium-sized companies have market capitalization of less than $10
billion. Further information comparing the investment objectives,
strategies and restrictions is included below under "Investment Objectives,
Strategies and Restrictions."

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, Triton Fund's net assets were approximately $122.9
million and Small-Mid Growth Fund's net assets were approximately $4.1
million. The asset size of each Fund fluctuates on a daily basis and the
asset size of Triton Fund after the Reorganization may be larger or smaller
than the combined assets of the Funds as of October 31, 2008.

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

A. The investment advisory fee rate for Small-Mid Growth Fund and Triton Fund
is currently the same, 0.64% 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. No. Based on October 31, 2008 assets, the projected total expense ratio of
Triton Fund (following completion of the Reorganization) is lower than the
current expense ratio for Small-Mid Growth Fund. Janus Capital anticipates
that over time, as the result of the Reorganization, the elimination of
some duplicative expenses and the opportunity for economies of scale may
result in further lowering Triton Fund's other expense ratio (other than
management fee ratio).

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, Small-Mid Growth Fund and/or Triton 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,
immediately prior to the date of the Reorganization you may receive a
distribution of ordinary income or capital gains as a result of the normal
operations of Small-Mid Growth Fund.

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

A. No. Janus Capital manages both Small-Mid Growth Fund and Triton Fund. The
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 Small-Mid Growth 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 Small-Mid Growth 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 value of shares of Small-Mid
Growth Fund will be exchanged for shares of Triton Fund having equal value,
without any sales load, commission or other transactional fee being
imposed.

Q. CAN I STILL ADD TO MY EXISTING SMALL-MID GROWTH FUND ACCOUNT UNTIL THE
REORGANIZATION?

A. Yes. Small-Mid Growth Fund shareholders may continue to make additional
investments until the date of the Reorganization (anticipated to be on or
about July 6, 2009). However, the Board of Trustees of the JAD Trust may
determine to temporarily limit future investments in Small-Mid Growth Fund
prior to the date of the Reorganization to ensure a smooth transition of
shareholder accounts into Triton Fund.

Q. WILL EITHER FUND PAY FOR THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REORGANIZATION?

A. No. Janus Capital will bear those costs.

Q. WHEN WILL THE REORGANIZATION TAKE PLACE?

A. The Reorganization will occur on or about July 6, 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 JANUS FUND PRIOR TO THE
REORGANIZATION?

A. You may exchange your shares into another Janus fund before the Closing
Date (on or about July 6, 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 Small-Mid Growth
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 other Janus funds in the JAD Trust are also subject to
reorganization with and into the JIF Trust. So, if you exchange your shares
with and into another Janus fund in the JAD Trust, shareholders of that
fund may also be participating in a reorganization of that fund with and
into a similarly-managed fund in the JIF Trust.

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. The Funds have the same investment objective and substantially
similar 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 growth of capital.
Each Fund's Board of Trustees may change this objective or the Fund's principal
investment strategies without a shareholder vote. Small-Mid Growth Fund has a
policy of investing at least 80% of its net assets, measured at the time of
purchase, in the type of securities suggested by its name, as described below.
Small-Mid Growth Fund will notify its shareholders in writing at least 60 days
before making any changes to this policy. Triton 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 the 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 investing primarily in common
stocks selected for their growth potential. In pursuing its objective, Small-Mid
Growth Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
in equity securities of small- and medium-sized companies. In pursuing its
objective, the Triton Fund invests in equity securities of small- and
medium-sized companies. Generally, small- and medium-sized companies have a
market capitalization of less than $10 billion. Market capitalization is a
commonly used measure of the size and value of a company.

The portfolio managers of each Fund apply a "bottom up" approach in
choosing investments. 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. 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 growth of
capital. The following is a summary of the principal risks associated with such
securities and investment techniques. Each Fund has substantially similar
investment objectives, policies and strategies, 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 indicate that a Fund does not invest its assets in, or
is precluded from investing its assets 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. The Fund is designed for long-term investors interested in an
equity portfolio, including common stocks. 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.

Small- and Mid-Sized Companies Risk. Each Fund invests its equity assets in
securities issued by small- and mid-sized companies. Due to inherent risks such
as limited product lines and/or operating history, competitive threats, limited
financial resources, limited trading markets, and the potential lack of
management depth, small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more volatile than
securities issued by larger or more established companies. These holdings tend
to be less liquid than stocks of larger companies and could have a significant
impact or negative effect on the Fund's returns, especially as market conditions
change.

Growth Securities Risk. Each Fund often 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.

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 derivatives can be substantially greater than the derivatives' 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.

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 substantially all of its assets in common stocks if the portfolio
managers believe that common stocks will appreciate in value. 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.

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

Generally, 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. WHAT DOES "MARKET CAPITALIZATION" MEAN?

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 company's stock by the total number of its shares outstanding. As
noted previously, market capitalization is an important investment criterion for
the Fund.

RISKS

Because each Fund may invest substantially all of its assets in common
stocks, the main risk is the risk that the value of the stocks it 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 "fund of funds," which are funds that invest primarily in
other underlying 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 the 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 a 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. ARE THERE SPECIAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES OF
COMPANIES FROM EMERGING MARKET COUNTRIES?

Within the parameters of its specific investment policies, each Fund may
invest in a company or companies from one or more "developing countries" or
"emerging markets." Such countries include, but are not limited to, countries
included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets IndexSM.

To the extent that a Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in one
or more countries, returns and NAV may be affected to a large degree by events
and economic conditions in such countries. A summary of a Fund's investments by
country is contained in the Fund's shareholder reports and in the Fund's Form
N-Q reports, which are filed with the SEC.

In many developing markets, there is less government supervision and
regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers, and
listed companies than in more developed markets. The securities markets of many
of the countries in which the Funds may invest may also be smaller, less liquid,
and subject to greater price volatility than those in the United States. In the
event of a default on any investments in foreign debt obligations, it may be
more difficult for the Funds to obtain or to enforce a judgment against the
issuers of such securities. The Funds may be subject to emerging markets risk to
the extent that they invest in companies which are not considered to be from
emerging markets, but which have customers, products, or transactions associated
with emerging markets.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. HOW DOES A FUND 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.

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,
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 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 not recover its investment 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 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 be more susceptible 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 (20% or less of a Small-Mid Growth Fund's
net assets and 35% or less of Triton 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

- 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

SHORT SALES

To a limited extent, each Fund may engage in short sales. 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 Fund's losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale
transaction. 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.

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, up to one-third of its total
assets as determined at the time of the loan. 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 may be deemed liquid and 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

Currently, the Funds have substantially similar investment advisory
agreements and pay the same advisory fee at a fixed annual rate of 0.64% 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 Small-Mid Growth Fund versus Triton Fund, and show
the projected ("pro forma") estimated fees and expenses of Triton Fund, assuming
consummation of the Reorganization as of October 31, 2008. Fees and expenses
shown for Small-Mid Growth Fund were determined based on the Fund's net assets
as of its fiscal year ended July 31, 2008. The pro forma fees and expenses shown
for Triton Fund were determined based on the Fund's 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. THE FUNDS WILL NOT BEAR ANY COSTS IN CONNECTION
WITH THE REORGANIZATION.

SHAREHOLDER FEES

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

(2) Your financial intermediary may charge you a separate or additional fee for
processing purchases and redemptions of shares.

(3) Sales charge may be waived for certain investors, as described in the
Shareholder's Guide (attached hereto as Appendix C).

(4) A contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% may be imposed on certain
redemptions of Class A Shares bought without an initial sales charge and
then redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The contingent deferred sales
charge is not reflected in the example.

(5) A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% applies on Class C Shares
redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The contingent deferred sales charge
may be waived for certain investors, as described in the Shareholder's
Guide (attached hereto as Appendix C).

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 below show, these costs are borne indirectly by all
shareholders.

The Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown below represent annualized
expenses for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 for Small-Mid Growth Fund and
those projected for Triton 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 Triton Fund, which may result in
higher costs that over time are anticipated to

decline. The Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not show current expenses for
Triton Fund since, as noted above, the Fund does not currently offer any Class
A, C, I, R and S Shares. The pro forma information below assumes that Triton
Fund post-Reorganization has an annual fixed-rate advisory fee of 0.64% of
average 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 Small-Mid
Growth Fund, Janus Capital reduces its investment advisory fee rate paid by
Small-Mid Growth Fund by the amount by which the total operating expenses
allocated to any class of the Fund exceed 1.05% of average daily net assets for
the fiscal year. Currently, through March 1, 2010, pursuant to a contract
between Janus Capital and Triton Fund, Janus Capital reduces its investment
advisory fee paid by Triton Fund by the amount by which the total operating
expenses allocated to any class of the Fund exceed 1.05% of average daily net
assets for the fiscal year. For purposes of these waivers, 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). Assuming
consummation of the Reorganization, Janus Capital has contractually agreed to
reduce its investment advisory fee paid by Triton Fund by the amount, if any, by
which the total operating expenses allocated to any class exceed 1.05% of
average daily net assets for the fiscal year until at least November 1, 2010.

Based on expenses and asset levels of Triton Fund as of October 31, 2008,
assuming consummation of the Reorganization, the estimated pro forma expense
ratio of Triton Fund shows that no fees are being waived for Class I Shares,
Class R Shares and Class S Shares. Changes to expenses and asset levels of both
Small-Mid Growth Fund and Triton Fund at the time of the Reorganization could
trigger application of Triton Fund's anticipated expense limit of 1.05% (with
certain expenses excluded from the waiver as noted above), resulting in a
possible reduction of the investment advisory fee payable to Janus Capital by
Triton 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) Dividends or interest on short sales, which are paid to the lender of
borrowed securities, and stock loan fees, which are paid to the prime
broker, are considered Other Expenses. Such expenses will vary depending on
the short sale arrangement, whether the securities the Fund sells short pay
dividends or interest, and the amount of such dividends or interest. While
Other Expenses include interest and dividends paid out on short positions,
as well as stock loan fees, they do not take into account the interest
credit the Fund earns on cash proceeds of short sales which serve as
collateral for short positions. Amounts less than 0.01% are included in
Other Expenses.

(6) "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. The 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.

(7) 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 operating expenses of (i) Small-Mid
Growth Fund and (ii) assuming the consummation of the Reorganization,
Triton 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 for
each Fund exceeds 1.05% 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 Triton Fund post-Reorganization, will be in
effect unless terminated, revised, or extended until at least November 1,
2010. Refer to "Expense Limitations" in this Prospectus/Information
Statement for the Funds' expense limit. With the waiver, Net Annual Fund
Operating Expenses for each Fund are as follows:

SMALL-MID TRITON FUND

----------- -----------

Class A 1.32% 1.31%
Class C 2.07% 2.06%
Class I 1.07% 1.03%
Class R 1.82% 1.78%
Class S 1.57% 1.53%

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 the Funds, under both the current fee structure and the
proposed fee structure, with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The
examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Funds 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. 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 Russell 2500TM Growth
Index. After the Reorganization, it is expected that Triton Fund will continue
to compare its performance to the Russell 2500TM Growth Index. The index is not
actively managed and is 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 index varies over time. Of course, a Fund's past performance
(before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of future performance.

DISTRIBUTION AND PURCHASE PROCEDURES, EXCHANGE RIGHTS, AND REDEMPTION PROCEDURES

Class A, C, I, R and S Shares of Triton Fund will have substantially
similar class characteristics as the Class A, C, I, R and S Shares of Small-Mid
Growth Fund, respectively. Triton Fund currently does not offer Class A, C, I, R
and S Shares. Upon consummation of the Reorganization, shares of these classes
of Triton Fund will be

established to correspond with shares of Small-Mid Growth 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 manages both Small-Mid Growth Fund and Triton 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, Triton Fund will have purchase, exchange, and redemption
procedures for Class A, C, I, R, and S Shares that are the same or similar to
those of the corresponding share classes in Small-Mid Growth 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 Small-Mid Growth Fund will
continue to be subject to the same procedures and receive the same services as
shareholders of Triton Fund, as they currently do as shareholders of Small-Mid
Growth 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 (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) Triton Fund's acquisition of all or
substantially all of the assets of Small-Mid Growth Fund in exchange solely for
shares of Triton Fund and the assumption by Triton Fund of all of Small-Mid
Growth Fund's liabilities, if any, as of the Closing Date; (ii) the distribution
on the Closing Date of those shares to the shareholders of Small-Mid Growth
Fund; and (iii) the complete liquidation of Small-Mid Growth Fund.

The value of Small-Mid Growth Fund's assets to be acquired and the amount
of its liabilities to be assumed by Triton Fund and the NAV of a share of
Small-Mid Growth Fund will be determined as of the close of regular trading on
the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on the Closing Date, after the declaration
by Small-Mid Growth Fund of distributions, if any on the Closing Date, and will
be determined in accordance with the valuation methodologies described in
Small-Mid Growth Fund's currently effective Prospectuses and Statement of
Additional Information. The Plan provides that Janus Capital will bear all costs
and expenses 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 6, 2009.

As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Small-Mid Growth Fund will
distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record the shares of Triton Fund it
receives in the Reorganization, so that each shareholder of Small-Mid Growth
Fund will receive a number of full and fractional shares of Triton Fund equal in
value to his or her holdings in Small-Mid Growth Fund, and Small-Mid Growth Fund
will be liquidated.

Such distribution will be accomplished by opening accounts on the books of
Triton Fund in the names of Small-Mid Growth Fund shareholders and by
transferring thereto the shares of Triton Fund previously credited to the
account of Small-Mid Growth Fund on those books. Each shareholder account shall
be credited with the pro rata number of Triton Fund's shares due to that
shareholder. All issued and outstanding shares of Small-Mid Growth Fund will
simultaneously be canceled on the books of the JAD Trust. Accordingly,
immediately after the Reorganization, each former shareholder of Small-Mid
Growth Fund will own shares of Triton Fund that will be equal to the value of
that shareholder's shares of Small-Mid Growth 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 offerings.
Janus Capital believes that these enhancements 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 investor types.
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 difference
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 Small-Mid Growth 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 the shareholders of Small-Mid Growth
Fund and Triton 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) Small-Mid Growth Fund has the same investment objective and
substantially similar investment strategies, policies and risks as
Triton Fund, and the two Funds have been managed by the same portfolio
managers for the past two years.

(4) The two Funds have similar historical performance.

(5) Shareholders of each Fund will have the opportunity to invest in a
significantly 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 use the same fixed fee structure in accordance with which
the advisory fee paid by each Fund to Janus Capital is 0.64%.

(8) The expense limitation agreements applicable to each Fund which, after
giving effect to fee waivers after the Reorganization, may result in
current Small-Mid Growth Fund shareholders paying the same or lower
fees in the short-term, and 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 Triton Fund to
benefit from using a portion of the realized capital losses generated
by Small-Mid Growth Fund and Triton Fund, as applicable, to offset or
defer future gains on the sales of securities in certain
circumstances.

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

(13) Small-Mid Growth Fund's shareholders will not pay any of the costs of
the Reorganization, and immediately after the Reorganization, the
value of their shares in Triton Fund will be the same as the value of
their Small-Mid Growth 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 Small-Mid Growth Fund and Triton Fund and their respective
shareholders; 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 Small-Mid
Growth Fund solely in exchange for shares of Triton Fund and the
assumption by Triton Fund of all liabilities of Small-Mid Growth Fund,
and the distribution of such shares to the shareholders of Small-Mid
Growth Fund, will constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code;

- no gain or loss will be recognized by Small-Mid Growth Fund on the
transfer of the assets of Small-Mid Growth Fund to Triton Fund in
exchange for Triton Fund shares and the assumption by Triton Fund of
all liabilities of Small-Mid Growth Fund or upon the distribution of
Triton Fund shares to Small-Mid Growth Fund shareholders in exchange
for their shares of Small-Mid Growth Fund;

- the tax basis of Small-Mid Growth Fund's assets acquired by Triton
Fund will be the same to Triton Fund as the tax basis of such assets
to Small-Mid Growth Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization, and
the holding period of the assets of Small-Mid Growth Fund in the hands
of Triton Fund will include the period during which those assets were
held by Small-Mid Growth Fund;

- no gain or loss will be recognized by Triton Fund upon the receipt of
the assets of Small-Mid Growth Fund solely in exchange for Triton Fund
shares and the assumption by Triton Fund of all liabilities of
Small-Mid Growth Fund;

- no gain or loss will be recognized by shareholders of Small-Mid Growth
Fund upon the receipt of Triton Fund shares by such shareholders,
provided such shareholders receive solely Triton Fund shares
(including fractional shares) in exchange for their Small-Mid Growth
Fund shares; and

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

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 Small-Mid Growth Fund in exchange for Triton Fund
shares and the assumption by Triton Fund of all liabilities of Small-Mid Growth
Fund does not constitute a tax-free reorganization, each Small-Mid Growth Fund
shareholder generally will recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference
between the value of Triton Fund shares such shareholder acquires and the tax
basis of such shareholder's Small-Mid Growth Fund shares.

Prior to the Closing Date, Small-Mid Growth 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 Small-Mid Growth 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 Small-Mid Growth Fund
should also consult tax advisers as to state and local tax consequences, if any,
of the Reorganization.

As of July 31, 2008, Small-Mid Growth Fund did not have any accumulated
capital loss carryforwards. As of October 31, 2008, Triton Fund, had accumulated
capital loss carryforwards of $5,740. The final amount of the accumulated
capital loss carryforwards for Small-Mid Growth Fund and Triton 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, Triton 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
and their shareholders.

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 Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.

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.

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 Triton Fund will be established with
substantially the same class characteristics as the Class A, C, I, R and S
Shares of Small-Mid Growth 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 of Triton Fund 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, recordkeeping, subaccounting, and
other administrative services to investors. Janus Services LLC expects to use
all or a significant portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan service
providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisers, 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 networking, omnibus account, or other administrative fees. Transactions
may be processed through the NSCC or similar systems or processed on a manual
basis with Janus. These 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. 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.

CHARTER DOCUMENTS

Triton Fund is a series of the JIF Trust, a Massachusetts business trust
governed by Massachusetts law. Triton Fund 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"). The following is a summary of
certain provisions of the JIF Trust Instrument and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the JIF Trust Instrument.

Voting. A shareholder is entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset
value standing in such shareholder's name on the books of the JIF Trust (and a
fractional vote for each fractional dollar). Generally, all funds and classes
vote together as a single group, except where a separate vote of one or more
funds or classes is required by law or where the interests of one or more funds
or classes are affected differently from other funds or classes. Shares of all
series of the JIF Trust have noncumulative voting rights, which means that the
holders of more

than 50% of the value of shares of all series of the JIF Trust voting for the
election of Trustees can elect 100% of the Trustees if they choose to do so. In
such event, the holders of the remaining value of shares will not be able to
elect any Trustees.

All shares of a 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 each 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).

Shareholder Meetings. The JIF Trust is not required, and does not intend,
to hold annual shareholder meetings unless otherwise required by the JIF Trust
Instrument, the 1940 Act or in compliance with any regulatory order. Under the
terms of a settlement reached between Janus and the SEC in August 2004,
commencing in 2005 and not less than every fifth calendar year thereafter, the
JIF Trust will hold a meeting of shareholders to elect Trustees. Special
meetings may be called for a specific fund or for the JIF Trust for purposes
such as election of Trustees, when required by the JIF Trust Instrument or to
comply with the 1940 Act or a regulatory order. Under the JIF Trust Instrument,
special meetings of shareholders of the JIF Trust or of any fund shall be called
upon written request of shareholders holding not less than 10% of the shares
then outstanding.

Shareholder Liability. Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a
Massachusetts business trust could, under certain circumstances, be held liable
for the obligations of their fund. However, the JIF Trust Instrument disclaims
shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the funds and requires that
notice of this disclaimer be given in each agreement, obligation, or instrument
entered into or executed by the funds or the Trustees. The JIF Trust Instrument
also provides for indemnification from the assets of the funds for all losses
and expenses of any Fund shareholder held liable for the obligations of their
fund.

The Trustees intend to conduct the operations of the funds to avoid, to the
extent possible, liability of shareholders for liabilities of their fund.

Trustee Liability. A Trustee shall be liable for such Trustee's own willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties
involved in the conduct of the office of Trustee, and shall not be liable for
errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law. All persons extending credit to,
contracting with or having any claim against the JIF Trust shall look only to
the assets of a fund with which such person dealt for payment under such credit,
contract, or claim.

Liquidation or Dissolution. In the event of the liquidation or dissolution
of the Trust, shareholders of the funds are entitled to receive, when and as
declared by the Trustees, the excess of the assets belonging to their fund, or
in the case of a class, belonging to that fund and allocable to that class, over
the liabilities belonging to that fund or class. The assets shall be distributed
to shareholders in proportion to the relative NAV of the shares of that fund or
class held by them and recorded on the books of the JIF Trust. The liquidation
of any particular fund or class thereof may be authorized at any time by vote of
a majority of the Trustees then in office. Shareholders will receive prior
notice of any liquidation effecting their fund or class.

"JIF Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust, on behalf of Janus [_______] Fund
a series of the JIF Trust (the "Successor Fund"), and Janus Capital Management
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("JCM").

All references in this Agreement to action taken by the Predecessor Fund or the
Successor Fund shall be deemed to refer to action taken by the JIF Trust or JAD
Trust on behalf of the respective portfolio series.

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 Trust
and the JIF Trust are entering into separate Plans of Reorganization which
contemplate the reorganization of certain series of the JAD Trust into newly
created series of the JIF Trust (each a "Shell Reorganization").

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

A-1

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

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.

transfer agent of the Predecessor Fund, to deliver at the Closing a certificate
of an authorized officer stating that its records contain the names and
addresses of the Current Shareholders and the number, class, and percentage
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
that such [Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S] Successor Fund Shares
have been credited to the accounts of the Predecessor Fund on the books of the
Successor Fund. At the Closing, each party shall deliver to the other such bills
of sales, checks, assignments, share certificates, if any, receipts or other
documents as such other party or its counsel may reasonably request.

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").

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).

B-1

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 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.

B-2

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.

RULE 144A SECURITIES are securities that are not registered for sale to the
general public under the 1933Act, 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. 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

B-3

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 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,

B-4

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 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-5

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.

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 Triton Fund
(the "Triton Fund"), a series of Janus Investment Fund (the "Trust"). Triton
Fund currently does not offer shares of any of these classes. However, upon
consummation of the reorganization of Janus Adviser Small-Mid Growth Fund with
and into Triton Fund (the "Reorganization"), , Triton 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. Triton Fund currently only offers one class of shares
(the "Initial Class"), which is not offered in this Prospectus/Information
Statement. Please refer to Triton Fund's prospectus dated February 27, 2009 (the
"Triton 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 Triton Fund as of
the date when 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 Triton 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. 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 Triton 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 be paid by
Triton 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, Triton Fund is available only to U.S. citizens
or residents.

PRICING OF TRITON 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. Triton 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 Triton 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 Triton 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 Triton Fund or its agent, plus, for Class A Shares,
any

C-1

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 Triton 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 Triton Fund or its agent by
the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE.

Securities held by Triton 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 Triton 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 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. Triton 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, Triton 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 Triton Fund's portfolio
securities and the reflection of such change in Triton 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 Triton Fund's valuation of a security is
different from the security's market value, short-term arbitrage traders may
dilute the NAV of Triton Fund, which negatively impacts long-term shareholders.
Triton 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 Triton 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 Triton Fund under the arrangements made between your
financial intermediary or plan sponsor and its customers. Triton 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, Triton 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 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;

C-2

- 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 should refer to their plan document or contact their plan
administrator for information regarding account minimums.

(4) Up to 0.75% distribution fee and up to 0.25% shareholder servicing fee.

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), Triton Fund may pay Janus
Distributors LLC, the Trust's distributor ("Janus Distributors"), a fee for the
sale and distribution of 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 Triton Fund, respectively. Under the Class A and the Class C Plans,
Janus Distributors may

C-3

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
Triton 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), Triton 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 Triton 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 Triton 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 Triton 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 Triton 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 Triton Fund to Janus Services LLC
("Janus Services"), which uses such fees to reimburse intermediaries. Because
the form and amount charged varies by intermediary, the amount of the
administrative fee borne by each shareholder of the class is an average of all
fees charged by intermediaries. In the event an intermediary receiving payments
from Janus Services on behalf of Triton 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 Triton Fund for providing, or arranging for the
provision of, recordkeeping, subaccounting, and other administrative services to
investors. Janus Services expects to use all or 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 to their customers who invest in Triton 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 Triton 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 Triton Fund, including additional
information on minimum initial or subsequent investment requirements.

C-4

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 Triton Fund's behalf. As discussed under the section
titled "The Reorganization - Other Comparative Information about the Fund -
Investment Adviser" in this Prospectus/Information Statement, Janus Capital
Management LLC ("Janus Capital"), Triton 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 Triton Fund or that provide services in connection with
investments in Triton Fund. You should consider such arrangements when
evaluating any recommendation of Triton Fund.

Triton Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order, including exchange
purchases, for any reason. Triton Fund is not intended for excessive trading.
For more information about Triton 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 Triton Fund account for non-retirement accounts and $500 per Triton
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 Triton 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 Triton 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.

Triton Fund reserves the right to annually request that intermediaries close
Triton 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

C-5

account closed. If you hold Class I Shares directly with Triton Fund, you may
receive written notice prior to the closure of your Triton 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.

Triton 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 Triton 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 Triton
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.

Class A Shares Sales Charge as
a Percentage of
-------------------------------
Net Amount
Amount of Purchase at Offering Price Offering Price(1) Invested(1)
------------------------------------ ----------------- -----------

Under $50,000 5.75% 6.10%

$1,000,000 and above None(3) None

----------
(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 Triton 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;

C-6

- 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 Triton Fund or certain other Janus funds) with
your current purchase of Class A Shares of Triton 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 Triton 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 Triton 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
Triton Fund shares, as Triton Fund, its agents, or your financial intermediary
may not retain this information.

RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION. You may purchase Class A Shares of Triton 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 Triton 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:

C-7

- 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.

You may access information regarding sales loads, breakpoint discounts, and
purchases of Triton Fund's shares, free of charge, and in a clear and prominent
format, at www.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 Triton 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.

- Triton 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. Triton 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 Triton Fund may make up to four round trips in
Triton Fund in a 12-month period, although Triton 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
Triton Fund (by any means) followed by a purchase back into Triton
Fund (by any means). Triton Fund will work with intermediaries to
apply Triton Fund's exchange limit. However, Triton Fund may not
always have the ability to monitor or enforce the trading activity in
such accounts.

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 Triton 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. 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 operating expenses mean that over time, you
could end up paying more than the equivalent of the maximum allowable front-end
sales charge.

C-8

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 Triton Fund may be redeemed on any business day on which Triton Fund's
NAV is calculated. Redemptions are duly processed at the NAV next calculated
after your redemption order is received in good order by Triton Fund or its
agent. Redemption proceeds, less any applicable CDSC for Class A Shares and
Class C Shares, or less any applicable redemption fee for Class I, Class R and
Class S Shares, will normally be sent the business day following receipt of the
redemption order, but in no event later than seven days after receipt of such
order.

If you hold Class A, Class C, Class I or Class S Shares, you should note that
Triton Fund reserves the right to annually request that intermediaries close
Triton 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 Triton
Fund, you may receive written notice prior to the closure of your Triton 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 Triton 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 or to accommodate a
request by a particular shareholder that does not adversely affect the interest
of the remaining shareholders, by delivery of securities selected from its
assets at its discretion. However, Triton Fund is required to redeem shares
solely for cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the NAV of Triton Fund
during any 90-day period for any one shareholder. Should redemptions by any
shareholder exceed such limitation, Triton 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 Triton 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.

C-9

You may arrange for periodic redemptions 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;

- Retirement plan shareholders taking required minimum distributions;

- The redemption of Class A Shares or Class C Shares acquired through
reinvestment of Triton 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 Triton 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 Triton Fund has adopted policies and procedures with
respect to short-term and excessive trading of Fund shares ("excessive
trading"). Triton Fund is intended for long-term investment purposes only, and
the Fund will take reasonable steps to attempt to detect and deter excessive
trading. Transactions placed in violation of Triton 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, Triton 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 Triton 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.

C-10

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

- exchange limitations as described under "Exchanges;"

- redemption fees (where applicable on certain classes of certain
funds); and

- fair valuation of securities as described under "Pricing of Fund
Shares."

Triton Fund monitors Fund share transactions, subject to the limitations
described below. Generally, a purchase of Triton Fund's shares followed by the
redemption of Triton Fund's shares within a 90-day period may result in
enforcement of Triton 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.

If Triton Fund detects excessive trading, the Fund may suspend or permanently
terminate the exchange privilege (if permitted by your financial intermediary)
of the account and may bar future purchases into the Fund and any of the other
Janus funds by such investor. Triton 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.

Triton 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 Triton Fund's
excessive trading policies and procedures and may be rejected in whole or in
part by the Fund. Triton 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 Triton
Fund, and thus the Fund may have difficulty curtailing such activity.
Transactions accepted by a financial intermediary in violation of Triton 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, Triton
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 purchases for a designated period of time
(typically 30 to 90 days) by investors who have recently redeemed Fund shares,
requiring intermediaries to report information about customers who purchase and
redeem large amounts, and similar restrictions. Triton 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 Triton Fund's
methods to detect and deter excessive trading.

Triton 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, Triton 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.

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

EXCESSIVE TRADING RISKS

C-11

Excessive trading may present risks to Triton Fund's long-term shareholders.
Excessive trading into and out of Triton 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 Triton 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 Triton 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 Triton
Fund's valuation of a security differs from the security's market value,
short-term arbitrage traders may dilute the NAV of Triton Fund, which negatively
impacts long-term shareholders. Although Triton 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 Triton 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,
Triton 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 Triton Fund and its agents.
This makes Triton 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 Triton Fund encourages 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 Triton 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 Triton Fund.

- FULL HOLDINGS. Triton 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
www.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. Triton 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. Triton Fund may occasionally provide security
breakdowns (e.g., industry, sector, regional, market capitalization,
and asset allocation), top performance contributors/detractors, and

C-12

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. Triton 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 periods of disclosure as deemed
necessary to protect the interests of Triton 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 Triton Fund's portfolio holdings disclosure policies and procedures,
which includes a discussion of any exceptions, is contained in the Fund's SAI.

DISTRIBUTION OF TRITON FUND

Triton 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 Triton 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. Triton 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 Triton Fund are normally declared and
distributed in December. For investors investing through intermediaries, the
date you receive your distributions 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 TRITON FUND'S NAV

Distributions are paid to shareholders as of the record date of a distribution
of Triton Fund, regardless of how long the shares have been held. Undistributed
dividends and net capital gains are included in Triton Fund's daily NAV. The
share price of Triton Fund drops by the amount of the distribution, net of any
subsequent market fluctuations. For example, assume that on December 31, Triton
Fund declared a dividend in the amount of $0.25 per share. If Triton Fund's
share price was $10.00 on December 30, Triton Fund's share price on 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 Triton 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, Triton Fund would pay you $0.25 per share as a
dividend and your shares would now be worth $9.75 per share.

C-13

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 Triton Fund, whether or not you
reinvested the dividends. Before buying shares of Triton 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, Triton Fund's distributions of net investment income and
net capital gains are automatically reinvested in Triton 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
Triton 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 Triton 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 Triton Fund are subject to federal income tax, regardless of
whether the distribution is made in cash or reinvested in additional shares of
Triton Fund. When gains from the sale of a security held by Triton Fund are paid
to shareholders, the rate at which the gain will be taxed to shareholders
depends on the length of time Triton Fund held the security. In certain states,
a portion of the distributions (depending on the sources of Triton Fund's
income) may be exempt from state and local taxes. Triton Fund's net investment
income and capital gains are distributed to (and may be taxable to) those
persons who are shareholders of Triton Fund at the record date of such payments.
Although Triton 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 Triton 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 591/2, 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.

Triton 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 TRITON FUND

Dividends, interest, and some capital gains received by Triton Fund on foreign
securities may be subject to foreign tax withholding or other foreign taxes. If
Triton 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 Triton

C-14

Fund. Triton 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. Triton 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.

Triton 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 Triton Fund meet these requirements so that any earnings on your
investment will not be subject to federal income taxes twice. If Triton Fund
invests in partnerships, it may be subject to state tax liabilities.

C-15

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 that generally include: (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); (iv) claims brought on behalf of shareholders of Janus
Capital Group Inc. ("JCGI") on a derivative basis against the Board of Directors
of JCGI (Chasen v. Whiston, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland,
Case No. 04-MD-00855); and (v) claims by a putative class of shareholders of
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 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. 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. The Court also dismissed the Chasen lawsuit (action (iv) above)
against JCGI's Board of Directors without leave to amend. Finally, a Motion to
Dismiss the Wiggins suit (action (v) 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

D-1

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: (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 Triton Fund's
transfer agent. In addition, Janus Services provides certain other
administrative, recordkeeping, and shareholder relations services for Triton
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 Triton Fund for providing or procuring recordkeeping, subaccounting,
and other administrative services to investors in Class R shares and Class S
shares of Triton 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 networking and/or omnibus account fees which
certain intermediaries charge with respect to transactions in Triton Fund that
are processed through the National Securities Clearing Corporation ("NSCC") or
similar systems.

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 Triton 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. Triton Fund receives the NAV. The sales charge is
allocated between your financial intermediary and 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.

purchase.

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 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 service expenses, and the payments may exceed distribution and
service expenses actually incurred. Payments are made to Janus Distributors LLC,
Triton Fund's distributor ("Janus Distributors"), 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 Triton Fund for activities which are primarily
intended to result in sales of Class C shares of Triton Fund. In addition, the
Plan permits the payment of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class
C shares of Triton Fund for shareholder servicing activities such as providing
facilities to answer questions from existing investors about Triton 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 Triton 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 Triton Fund at any
time, without penalty, by vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of that
Class of Triton 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.

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.
