EXAMPLE:
The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and reinvest all dividends and distributions. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. The Example for Class C Shares for the ten-year period reflects the conversion to Class A Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover:The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 54% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal investment strategies
The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in the common stocks of mid-sized companies and focuses on companies whose stock prices are believed to be undervalued by the Fund’s portfolio management or that have fallen out of favor with the market. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies whose market capitalization falls, at the time of purchase, within the capitalization range of the Russell Midcap® Value Index. The market capitalizations within the index will vary, but as of June 30, 2023, they ranged from approximately $170 million to $51 billion.From time to time, the Fund may invest in shares of companies through initial public offerings.
The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, as well as in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and similar REIT-like entities.
As defensive value managers, portfolio management generally looks for companies with:
strong management teams;
strong and stable balance sheets and solid recurring free cash flows;
attractive relative and absolute valuation ratios or that have underperformed recently;
favorable reward to risk characteristics;
sustainable competitive advantages that are trading at attractive valuations; and
strong long-term prospects.
Portfolio management’s philosophy is to weigh a security’s downside risk before considering its upside potential, which may help provide an element of capital preservation.
Principal investment risks
The biggest risk is that the Fund’s returns will vary, and you could lose money. The Fund is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices. The principal risks associated with investing in the Fund are set forth below.
Market Risk.The value of the Fund’s portfolio may decrease due to short-term market movements and over more prolonged market downturns. As a result, the Fund’s net asset value may fluctuate and it may be more difficult to value or sell the Fund’s holdings.Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, economic sector, or the market as a whole. Market risk may be magnified if certain social, political, economic, and other conditions and events (such as terrorism, conflicts, including related sanctions, social unrest, natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics, including COVID-19) adversely interrupt the global economy and financial markets. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.
3 | Janus Henderson Mid Cap Value Fund

Value Investing Risk.Because different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, “value” stocks may perform differently than other types of stocks and from the market as a whole, and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time. It is also possible that a value stock will never appreciate to the extent expected by portfolio management.
Mid-Sized Companies Risk.Investments in securities issued by mid-sized companies may involve greater risks than are customarily associated with larger, more established companies. For example, while mid-sized companies may realize more substantial growth than larger or more established issuers, they may also suffer more significant losses as a result of their narrow product lines, limited operating history, greater exposure to competitive threats, limited financial resources, limited trading markets, and the potential lack of management depth. Securities issued by mid-sized companies tend to be more volatile than securities issued by larger or more established companies and may underperform as compared to the securities of larger or more established companies. These holdings are also subject to wider price fluctuations and tend to be less liquid than stocks of larger or more established companies, which could have a significant adverse effect on the Fund’s returns, especially as market conditions change.
Portfolio Management Risk.The Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio and is therefore subject to the risk that the investment strategies and research process employed for the Fund may fail to produce the intended results. The Fund may underperform its benchmark index or other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.
REIT Risk.REITs are subject to certain risks inherent in the direct ownership of real estate, including without limitation, a possible lack of mortgage funds and associated interest rate risks, overbuilding, property vacancies, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, losses due to environmental damages and changes in neighborhood values and appeal to purchasers. In addition, a REIT could fail to qualify for tax-free pass-through of its income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or fail to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which could produce adverse economic consequences for the REIT and its investors, including the Fund. Dividends received by the Fund from a REIT generally will not constitute qualified dividend income.
Initial Public Offering Risk.The Fund’s purchase of shares issued in an initial public offering (“IPO”) exposes it to the risks associated with companies that have little operating history as public companies, as well as to the risks inherent in those sectors of the market where these new issuers operate. Although IPO investments may have had a positive impact on the Fund’s performance in the past, there can be no assurance that the Fund will identify favorable IPO investment opportunities in the future. In addition, as the Fund increases in size, the impact of IPOs on the Fund’s performance will generally decrease.
Foreign Exposure Risk.Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market. As a result, the Fund’s returns and net asset value may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. In some foreign markets, there may not be protection against failure by other parties to complete transactions. It may not be possible for the Fund to repatriate capital, dividends, interest, and other income from a particular country or governmental entity. In addition, a market swing in one or more countries or regions where the 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.
An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Performance information
The following information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund’s performance has varied over time.Class T Shares (formerly named Class J Shares) of the Fund commenced operations with the Fund’s inception. Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, Class I Shares, and Class R Shares of the Fund commenced operations on July 6, 2009.Class N Shares of the Fund commenced operations on May 31, 2012.
The performance shown for Class T Shares for periods following April 21, 2003, reflects the fees and expenses of Class T Shares in effect during the periods shown, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers. For the periods prior to April 21, 2003, the performance shown for Class T Shares reflects the historical performance of Berger Mid Cap Value Fund – Investor Shares (as a result of a prior reorganization of Berger Mid Cap Value Fund – Investor Shares into the Fund’s former Class J Shares).
4 | Janus Henderson Mid Cap Value Fund

The performance shown for Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, and Class R Shares reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares (formerly named Investor Shares) from April 21, 2003 to July 6, 2009, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective share class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. For periods prior to April 21, 2003, the performance shown for Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, and Class R Shares reflects the historical performance of Berger Mid Cap Value Fund – Investor Shares (as a result of a prior reorganization of Berger Mid Cap Value Fund – Investor Shares into the Fund’s former Class J Shares), calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective share class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
The performance shown for Class I Shares reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares (formerly named Investor Shares) from April 21, 2003 to July 6, 2009, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers. For periods prior to April 21, 2003, the performance shown for Class I Shares reflects the historical performance of Berger Mid Cap Value Fund – Investor Shares (as a result of a prior reorganization of Berger Mid Cap Value Fund – Investor Shares into the Fund’s former Class J Shares), calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.
The performance shown for Class N Shares reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class T Shares from July 6, 2009 to May 31, 2012, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class T Shares, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers. For the period from April 21, 2003 to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for Class N Shares reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares (formerly named Investor Shares), calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers. For periods prior to April 21, 2003, the performance shown for Class N Shares reflects the historical performance of Berger Mid Cap Value Fund – Investor Shares (as a result of a prior reorganization of Berger Mid Cap Value Fund – Investor Shares into the Fund’s former Class J Shares), calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.
If Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, Class I Shares, and Class R Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, or Class N Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to May 31, 2012, the performance shown for each respective share class may have been different. The performance shown for the periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, Class I Shares, Class N Shares, and Class R Shares reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.
The bar chart depicts 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 Class A Shares or Class C Shares of the Fund. If sales charges were included, the returns would be lower. The table compares the Fund’s average annual returns for the periods indicated to a broad-based securities market index. All figures assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions. For certain periods, the Fund’s performance reflects the effect of expense waivers. Without the effect of these expense waivers, the performance shown would have been lower.
The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future.Updated performance information is available at janushenderson.com/performance or by calling 1-877-335-2687.

Calculated assuming maximum permitted sales loads.
(3) 
The one year return is calculated to include the contingent deferred sales charge.
The Fund’s primary benchmark index is the Russell Midcap Value Index. The index is described below.
The Russell Midcap Value Index measures the performance of those Russell Midcap companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.
After-tax returns are calculated using distributions for the Fund’s Class T Shares (formerly named Class J Shares) for periods following April 21, 2003; and for Berger Mid Cap Value Fund – Investor Shares for periods prior to April 21, 2003. If Class T Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to April 21, 2003, distributions may have been different and thus, after-tax returns may have been different from those shown.After-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns

depend on your individual tax situation and may differ from those shown in the preceding table. The after-tax return information shown above does not apply to Fund shares held through a tax-advantaged account, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA.
After-tax returns are only shown for Class T Shares of the Fund. After-tax returns for the other classes of Shares will vary from those shown for Class T Shares due to varying sales charges (as applicable), fees, and expenses among the classes.

**
Class A, Class C, Class S, and Class T shares held through certain supermarket and/or self-directed brokerage accounts, or through wrap programs, may not be subject to these minimums. Please contact your financial intermediary for more information. For Class R shareholders, there is no investment minimum for defined contribution plans.

***
Investors in certain tax-advantaged accounts or accounts held through certain wrap programs or bank trust platforms may not be subject to this minimum.
Purchases, exchanges, and redemptions can generally be made only through institutional channels, such as financial intermediaries and retirement platforms.

You should contact your financial intermediary or refer to your plan documents for information on how to invest in the Fund. Requests must be received in good order by the Fund or its agents (financial intermediary or plan sponsor, if applicable) prior to the close of the trading session of the New York Stock Exchange in order to receive that day’s net asset value. For additional information, refer to “Purchases,” “Exchanges,” and/or “Redemptions” in the Prospectus.
Tax information
The Fund’s distributions are taxable, and will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account (in which case you may be taxed upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).

Payments to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries
If you purchase Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, Class I Shares, Class R Shares, or Class T Shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund or its distributor (or its affiliates) may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment or to recommend one share class over another. There is some regulatory uncertainty concerning whether marketing support or other similar payments may be made or received in connection with Class I Shares where a financial intermediary has imposed its own sales charges or transaction fees. As a result, based on future regulatory developments, such payments may be terminated, or the Fund may prohibit financial intermediaries from imposing such sales charges or transaction fees in connection with Class I Shares. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse operating expenses to the extent that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (excluding the fees payable pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 plan, shareholder servicing fees, such as transfer agency fees (including out-of-pocket costs), administrative services fees and any networking/omnibus fees payable by any share class; brokerage commissions; interest; dividends; taxes; acquired fund fees and expenses; and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.84% for at least a one-year period commencing on October 27, 2023. This contractual waiver may be terminated or modified only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees.
EXAMPLE:
The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and reinvest all dividends and distributions. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver for the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. The Example

Portfolio Turnover:The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 62% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal investment strategies
The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a portfolio of dividend-producing equity securities. The Fund generally invests in a core group of 40-60 equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, depository receipts, and other equity-related securities. The Fund’s investment approach (i) seeks to avoid companies and industries that it considers to be involved in business activities and behaviors that may be environmentally and/or socially harmful, and (ii) considers environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors and a company’s management of ESG risks.
The Fund primarily invests in equity securities of companies that are economically tied to countries outside of the United States, including investments in emerging markets. A security is deemed to be economically tied to a country or countries outside of the United States if one or more of the following tests are met: (i) the company is organized in, or its primary business office or principal trading market of its equity is located in, the country; (ii) a majority of the company’s revenues are derived from one or more countries outside of the United States; or (iii) a majority of the company’s assets are located in one or more countries outside of the United States. The Fund’s investments may be in non-U.S. currency or U.S. dollar-denominated.
In selecting investments for the Fund, portfolio management first seeks to identify equity securities of companies with attractive long-term business prospects that generate profits and produce attractive levels of dividend income. Although the Fund does not have a specific policy regarding the growth/value orientation or market capitalization of the companies in which it invests, portfolio management believes that focusing on dividend-producing equity securities will tend to lead to investments in mid-to-large capitalization “value” stocks (stocks of well-established, undervalued companies that portfolio management believes offer the potential for income and long-term capital appreciation). Portfolio management may, however, invest in smaller and less seasoned issuers and in stocks that are considered “growth” stocks.
Next, portfolio management applies broad-based negative screens, which incorporate third party inputs, to seek to avoid companies and industries that are directly associated with business activities and behaviors that may be environmentally and/or socially harmful, subject to certain de minimis limits that may be quantitative (e.g., expressed as a percentage of a
10 | Janus Henderson Responsible International Dividend Fund

company’s revenues) or qualitative in nature. A current list of such business activities and behaviors, which may evolve over time, follows:
Adult entertainment;
Alcohol;
Animal testing for non-medical purposes;
Armaments;
Fossil fuel extraction and refining;
Fossil fuel power generation;
Fur;
Gambling; and
Tobacco
The screening process is also used to exclude companies that are United Nations Global Compact violators and companies that are in breach of the Organization for Economic and Co-operation and Development Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
In selecting investments, the Fund also considers ESG factors and a company’s management of ESG risks that may have a significant impact on the company’s growth, valuation, profits, cash flow, and dividends. Such factors may include corporate governance, human capital and diversity, climate change, disclosure transparency, and business ethics. The Fund evaluates ESG factors and risks, using third-party data and internally-generated analysis, which may include assessments of a company’s alignment with international commitments, a review of ESG investment risk reports, and corporate engagement. At portfolio management’s discretion, the Fund will engage with a company’s senior management to seek to better understand improvements in ESG reporting and disclosure, environmental performance, and strategic positioning in relation to key sustainability trends. The Fund may invest in companies whose ESG practices are evolving, with the expectation that these engagement efforts will result in improvements over time, and will consider selling a security if a company is not responsive to such engagement efforts. The Fund does not consider ESG factors and risks in managing the Fund’s exposure to cash and cash equivalents and certain derivatives, such as forward currency contracts used for hedging purposes.
The Fund will generally consider selling a security when, in portfolio management’s opinion, there is a risk of significant deterioration in the company’s fundamentals, there is a change in business strategy or issuer-specific business outlook that affects the original investment case, or if a superior investment opportunity arises. The Fund will also consider selling a security if, in portfolio management’s opinion, the company’s business model no longer meets the investment criteria employed in managing the Fund.
The Fund may invest its assets in derivatives, which are instruments that have a value derived from, or directly linked to, an underlying asset, such as equity securities, fixed-income securities, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices, as substitutes for securities in which the Fund invests or to hedge portfolio risk. In particular, the Fund may invest in derivatives such as forward currency contracts to offset risks associated with currency exposure.
The Fund may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions on a short-term or long-term basis, in an amount equal to up to one-third of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.
Principal investment risks
The biggest risk is that the Fund’s returns will vary, and you could lose money. The Fund is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices. The Fund’s investment strategies could result in significant fluctuations of income. The principal risks associated with investing in the Fund are set forth below.
Market Risk.The value of the Fund’s portfolio may decrease due to short-term market movements and over more prolonged market downturns. As a result, the Fund’s net asset value may fluctuate and it may be more difficult to value or sell the Fund’s holdings.Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, economic sector, or the market as a whole. Market risk may be magnified if certain social, political, economic, and other conditions and events (such as terrorism, conflicts, including related sanctions, social unrest, natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics, including COVID-19) adversely interrupt the
11 | Janus Henderson Responsible International Dividend Fund

global economy and financial markets. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.
ESG Investment Risk.As a result of the Fund’s ESG-related strategy, the Fund may perform differently than funds that do not have an ESG-related strategy. Due to the ESG considerations and exclusionary criteria employed by the Fund, the Fund may not be invested in certain industries or sectors, and therefore may have lower performance than portfolios that do not apply similar criteria. In addition, since ESG investing takes into consideration factors beyond traditional financial analysis, the investment opportunities for the Fund may be limited at times. ESG-related information provided by issuers and third parties, upon which portfolio management may utilize, continues to develop, and may be incomplete, inaccurate, use different methodologies, or be applied differently across companies and industries. Further, the regulatory landscape for ESG investing in the United States is still developing and future rules and regulations may require the Fund to modify or alter its investment process. Similarly, government policies incentivizing companies to consider their environmental or social practices may fall out of favor, which could potentially limit the Fund’s investment universe. There is also a risk that the issuers identified through the investment process employed by the Fund may fail to adhere to positive environmental or social practices, which may result in selling a security when it might otherwise be disadvantageous to do so.
Foreign Exposure Risk.Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market. As a result, the Fund’s returns and net asset value may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. In some foreign markets, there may not be protection against failure by other parties to complete transactions. It may not be possible for the Fund to repatriate capital, dividends, interest, and other income from a particular country or governmental entity. In addition, a market swing in one or more countries or regions where the 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.
Issuer Concentration Risk.The Fund’s portfolio may be comprised of a relatively small number of issuers in comparison to other funds. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater risks than a fund that invests in a greater number of issuers. A change in the value of any single investment held by the Fund may affect the overall value of the Fund more than it would affect a fund that holds more investments. In particular, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held by the Fund and may be susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
Geographic Concentration Risk.To the extent the Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single country or region, the economic, political, social, regulatory, or other developments or conditions within such country or region will generally have a greater effect on the Fund than they would on a more geographically diversified fund, which may result in greater losses and volatility. Adverse developments in certain regions could also adversely affect securities of other countries whose economies appear to be unrelated and could have a negative impact on the Fund’s performance.
Europe Risk.The Fund is subject to certain risks related to Europe and the United Kingdom. Investments in British companies may subject the Fund to social, regulatory, political, currency, security, and economic risk specific to the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom has one of the largest economies in Europe, and the United States and other European countries are substantial trading partners of the United Kingdom. As a result, the British economy may be impacted by changes to the economic health of the United States and other European countries. Western Europe has, in certain instances, been susceptible to serious financial hardship, high debt levels, and high levels of unemployment. The European Union itself has experienced difficulties in connection with the debt loads of some of its member states. The markets in Eastern Europe remain relatively undeveloped and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments.
Currency Risk.Currency risk is the risk that changes in the exchange rate between currencies will adversely affect the value (in U.S. dollar terms) of an investment. As long as the Fund holds a foreign security, its value will be affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. When the 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, as the value of these securities may also be affected by changes in the issuer’s local currency.
Dividend-Oriented Stocks Risk.Companies that have paid regular dividends to shareholders may decrease or eliminate dividend payments in the future. A decrease in dividend payments by an issuer may result in a decrease in the value of the security held by the Fund or the Fund receiving less income.
12 | Janus Henderson Responsible International Dividend Fund

Value Investing Risk.Because different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, “value” stocks may perform differently than other types of stocks and from the market as a whole, and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time. It is also possible that a value stock will never appreciate to the extent expected by portfolio management.
Growth Securities Risk.Securities of companies perceived to be “growth” companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks.If portfolio management’s perception of a company’s growth potential is not realized, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, reducing the Fund’s returns. 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 other types of securities and the market as a whole.
Portfolio Management Risk.The Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio and is therefore subject to the risk that the investment strategies and research process employed for the Fund may fail to produce the intended results. The Fund may underperform its benchmark index or other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.
Emerging Markets Risk.Emerging market securities involve a number of risks, which may result from less government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices (including the potential lack of strict finance and accounting controls and standards), stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies. Information about emerging market companies, including financial information, may be less available or reliable and the Adviser’s ability to conduct due diligence with respect to such companies may be limited. Accordingly, these investments may be potentially more volatile in price and less liquid than investments in developed securities markets, resulting in greater risk to investors. There is a risk in developing countries that a current or future economic or political crisis could lead to price controls, forced mergers of companies, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, imposition or enforcement of foreign ownership limits, seizure, nationalization, sanctions or imposition of restrictions by various governmental entities on investment and trading, or creation of government monopolies, any of which may have a detrimental effect on the Fund’s investments. In addition, the taxation systems at the federal, regional, and local levels in developing or emerging market countries may be less transparent, inconsistently enforced, and subject to change. Emerging markets may be subject to a higher degree of corruption and fraud than developed markets, and financial institutions and transaction counterparties may have less financial sophistication, creditworthiness, and/or resources than participants in developed markets. In addition, the Fund’s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, changes in the value of a country’s currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Fund’s investments.
Small- and Mid-Sized Companies Risk.Investments in securities issued by small- and mid-sized companies, which can include smaller, start-up companies offering emerging products or services, may involve greater risks than are customarily associated with larger, more established companies. For example, while small- and mid-sized companies may realize more substantial growth than larger or more established issuers, they may also suffer more significant losses as a result of their narrow product lines, limited operating history, greater exposure to competitive threats, limited financial resources, limited trading markets, and the potential lack of management depth. Securities issued by small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more volatile and somewhat more speculative than securities issued by larger or more established companies and may underperform as compared to the securities of larger or more established companies. These holdings are also subject to wider price fluctuations and tend to be less liquid than stocks of larger or more established companies, which could have a significant adverse effect on the Fund’s returns, especially as market conditions change.
Derivatives Risk.Derivatives can be volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities or asset. Gains or losses from a derivative investment can be substantially greater than the derivative’s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Leverage may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not used leverage.Derivatives entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations.Derivatives used for hedging purposes may reduce or eliminate gains or cause losses if the market moves in a manner different from that anticipated by portfolio management or if the cost of the derivative outweighs the benefit of the hedge.
Securities Lending Risk.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 provided to the Fund to collateralize the loan. 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.

Performance information
The following information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund’s performance has varied over time. Returns shown for periods prior to June 5, 2017, are those of Henderson Dividend & Income Builder Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”). The Predecessor Fund was advised by Henderson Global Investors (North America) Inc. and subadvised by Henderson Investment Management Limited. Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class I Shares, and Class R6 Shares of the Predecessor Fund were reorganized into Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class I Shares, and Class N Shares, respectively, of the Fund on June 2, 2017. Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares of the Predecessor Fund commenced operations with the Predecessor Fund’s inception on August 1, 2012. Class R6 Shares of the Predecessor Fund commenced operations on November 30, 2015. Class S Shares and Class T Shares of the Fund commenced operations on June 5, 2017.
The performance shown for Class A Shares for periods prior to June 5, 2017, reflects the performance of Class A Shares of the Predecessor Fund and is calculated using the fees and expenses of Class A Shares of the Predecessor Fund, in effect during the periods shown, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.
The performance shown for Class C Shares for periods prior to June 5, 2017, reflects the performance of Class C Shares of the Predecessor Fund and is calculated using the fees and expenses of Class C Shares of the Predecessor Fund, in effect during the periods shown, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.
The performance shown for Class I Shares for periods prior to June 5, 2017, reflects the performance of Class I Shares of the Predecessor Fund and is calculated using the fees and expenses of Class I Shares of the Predecessor Fund, in effect during the periods shown, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.
The performance shown for Class N Shares for periods prior to June 5, 2017, reflects the performance of Class R6 Shares of the Predecessor Fund and is calculated using the fees and expenses of Class R6 Shares of the Predecessor Fund, in effect during the periods shown, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers, except that for periods prior to November 30, 2015, performance shown for Class N Shares reflects the performance of Class I Shares of the Predecessor Fund, calculated using the estimated fees and expenses of Class N Shares, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.
The performance shown for Class S Shares for periods prior to June 5, 2017, reflects the performance of Class I Shares of the Predecessor Fund, calculated using the estimated fees and expenses of Class S Shares, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.
The performance shown for Class T Shares for periods prior to June 5, 2017, reflects the performance of Class I Shares of the Predecessor Fund, calculated using the estimated fees and expenses of Class T Shares, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.
Returns of the Fund will be different from the Predecessor Fund as they have different expenses.
The bar chart depicts 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 Class A Shares or Class C Shares of the Fund. If sales charges were included, the returns would be lower. The table compares the Fund’s average annual returns for the periods indicated to a broad-based securities market index. All figures assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions. For certain periods, the Fund’s performance reflects the effect of expense waivers. Without the effect of these expense waivers, the performance shown would have been lower. Effective October 28, 2022, the Fund changed its investment strategy. The performance shown for periods prior to October 28, 2022, does not reflect the new investment strategy and is not indicative of the current portfolio.
The Fund’s (and the Predecessor Fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available at janushenderson.com/performance or by calling 1-877-335-2687.

***
Investors in certain tax-advantaged accounts or accounts held through certain wrap programs or bank trust platforms may not be subject to this minimum.
Purchases, exchanges, and redemptions can generally be made only through institutional channels, such as financial intermediaries and retirement platforms. Class I Shares may be purchased directly by certain institutional investors who established Class I Shares accounts before August 4, 2017. You should contact your financial intermediary or refer to your plan documents for information on how to invest in the Fund. Requests must be received in good order by the Fund or its agents (financial intermediary or plan sponsor, if applicable) prior to the close of the trading session of the New York Stock Exchange in order to receive that day’s net asset value. For additional information, refer to “Purchases,” “Exchanges,” and/or “Redemptions” in the Prospectus.
Tax information
The Fund’s distributions are taxable, and will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account (in which case you may be taxed upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).
Payments to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries
If you purchase Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, Class I Shares, or Class T Shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund or its distributor (or its affiliates) may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment or to recommend one share class over another. There is some regulatory uncertainty concerning whether marketing support or other similar payments may be made or received in connection with Class I Shares where a financial intermediary has imposed its own sales charges or transaction fees. As a result, based on future regulatory developments, such payments may be terminated, or the Fund may prohibit financial intermediaries from imposing such sales charges or transaction fees in connection with Class I Shares. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

This fee may adjust up or down monthly based on the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark index over the performance measurement period. For more information regarding performance-based advisory fees, refer to “Management Expenses” in the Fund’s Prospectus.
(2)
“Acquired Fund” refers to any underlying fund (including, but not limited to, exchange-traded funds) in which a fund invests or has invested during the period. Acquired fund fees and expenses are indirect expenses a fund may incur as a result of investing in shares of an underlying fund. To the extent that the Fund invests in Acquired Funds, the Fund’s “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” may not correlate to the “Ratio of gross expenses to average net assets” presented in the Financial Highlights tables because that ratio includes only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund, not the indirect costs of investing in Acquired Funds.
(3)
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse operating expenses to the extent that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (excluding any performance adjustments to management fees, the fees payable pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 plan, shareholder servicing fees, such as transfer agency fees (including out-of-pocket costs), administrative services fees and any networking/omnibus fees payable by any share class; brokerage commissions; interest; dividends; taxes; acquired fund fees and expenses; and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.91% for at least a one-year period commencing on October 27, 2023. This contractual waiver may be terminated or modified only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees.
EXAMPLE:
The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and reinvest all dividends

and distributions. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver for the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. The Example for Class C Shares for the ten-year period reflects the conversion to Class A Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover:The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 44% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal investment strategies
The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in the common stocks of small companies and focuses on companies whose stock prices are believed to be undervalued by the Fund’s portfolio management or that have fallen out of favor with the market. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of small companies whose market capitalization, at the time of initial purchase, is less than the 12-month average of the maximum market capitalization for companies included in the Russell 2000® Value Index. The market capitalizations within the index will vary, but as of June 30, 2023, they ranged from approximately $18 million to $6.67 billion. The 12-month average of the maximum market capitalization for companies included in the Russell 2000 Value Index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2023 was $7.46 billion. From time to time, the Fund may invest in shares of companies through initial public offerings. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, as well as in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and similar REIT-like entities.
As defensive value managers, portfolio management generally looks for companies with:
strong management teams;
strong and stable balance sheets and solid recurring free cash flows;
attractive relative and absolute valuation ratios or that have underperformed recently;
favorable reward to risk characteristics;
sustainable competitive advantages that are trading at attractive valuations; and
strong long-term prospects.
Portfolio management’s philosophy is to weigh a security’s downside risk before considering its upside potential, which may help provide an element of capital preservation.

The Fund may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions on a short-term or long-term basis, in an amount equal to up to one-third of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.
Principal investment risks
The biggest risk is that the Fund’s returns will vary, and you could lose money. The Fund is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices. The principal risks associated with investing in the Fund are set forth below.
Market Risk.The value of the Fund’s portfolio may decrease due to short-term market movements and over more prolonged market downturns. As a result, the Fund’s net asset value may fluctuate and it may be more difficult to value or sell the Fund’s holdings.Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, economic sector, or the market as a whole. Market risk may be magnified if certain social, political, economic, and other conditions and events (such as terrorism, conflicts, including related sanctions, social unrest, natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics, including COVID-19) adversely interrupt the global economy and financial markets. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.
Value Investing Risk.Because different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, “value” stocks may perform differently than other types of stocks and from the market as a whole, and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time. It is also possible that a value stock will never appreciate to the extent expected by portfolio management.
Small-Sized Companies Risk.Investments in securities issued by small-sized companies, which can include smaller companies offering emerging products or services, may involve greater risks than are customarily associated with larger, more established companies. For example, while small-sized companies may realize more substantial growth than larger or more established issuers, they may also suffer more significant losses as a result of their narrow product lines, limited operating history, greater exposure to competitive threats, limited financial resources, limited trading markets, and the potential lack of management depth. Securities issued by small-sized companies tend to be more volatile and somewhat more speculative than securities issued by larger or more established companies and may underperform as compared to the securities of larger or more established companies. These holdings are also subject to wider price fluctuations and tend to be less liquid than stocks of larger or more established companies, which could have a significant adverse effect on the Fund’s returns, especially as market conditions change.
REIT Risk.REITs are subject to certain risks inherent in the direct ownership of real estate, including without limitation, a possible lack of mortgage funds and associated interest rate risks, overbuilding, property vacancies, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, losses due to environmental damages and changes in neighborhood values and appeal to purchasers. In addition, a REIT could fail to qualify for tax-free pass-through of its income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or fail to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which could produce adverse economic consequences for the REIT and its investors, including the Fund. Dividends received by the Fund from a REIT generally will not constitute qualified dividend income.
Initial Public Offering Risk.The Fund’s purchase of shares issued in an initial public offering (“IPO”) exposes it to the risks associated with companies that have little operating history as public companies, as well as to the risks inherent in those sectors of the market where these new issuers operate. Although IPO investments may have had a positive impact on the Fund’s performance in the past, there can be no assurance that the Fund will identify favorable IPO investment opportunities in the future. In addition, as the Fund increases in size, the impact of IPOs on the Fund’s performance will generally decrease.
Portfolio Management Risk.The Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio and is therefore subject to the risk that the investment strategies and research process employed for the Fund may fail to produce the intended results. The Fund may underperform its benchmark index or other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.
Foreign Exposure Risk.Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market. As a result, the Fund’s returns and net asset value may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. In some foreign markets, there may not be protection against failure by other parties to complete transactions. It may not be possible for the Fund to repatriate capital, dividends, interest, and other income from a particular country or
20 | Janus Henderson Small Cap Value Fund

governmental entity. In addition, a market swing in one or more countries or regions where the 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.
Securities Lending Risk.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 provided to the Fund to collateralize the loan. 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.
An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Performance information
The following information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund’s performance has varied over time.Class T Shares (formerly named Class J Shares) of the Fund commenced operations with the Fund’s inception. Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, Class I Shares, and Class R Shares of the Fund commenced operations on July 6, 2009.Class N Shares of the Fund commenced operations on May 31, 2012.
The performance shown for Class T Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class T Shares, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.
The performance shown for Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, and Class R Shares reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares (formerly named Investor Shares) for periods prior to July 6, 2009, calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective share class, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers.
The performance shown for Class I Shares reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares (formerly named Investor Shares) for periods prior to July 6, 2009, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.
The performance shown for Class N Shares reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class T Shares from July 6, 2009 to May 31, 2012, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class T Shares, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers. For periods prior to July 6, 2009, the performance shown for Class N Shares reflects the performance of the Fund’s Class J Shares (formerly named Investor Shares), calculated using the fees and expenses of Class J Shares, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.
If Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, Class I Shares, and Class R Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to July 6, 2009, or Class N Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to May 31, 2012, the performance shown for each respective share class may have been different. The performance shown for the periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, Class I Shares, Class N Shares, and Class R Shares reflects the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.
The bar chart depicts 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 Class A Shares or Class C Shares of the Fund. If sales charges were included, the returns would be lower. The table compares the Fund’s average annual returns for the periods indicated to a broad-based securities market index. All figures assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions. For certain periods, the Fund’s performance reflects the effect of expense waivers. Without the effect of these expense waivers, the performance shown would have been lower.
The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future.Updated performance information is available at janushenderson.com/performance or by calling 1-877-335-2687.

The Fund’s primary benchmark index is the Russell 2000 Value Index. The index is described below.
The Russell 2000 Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on your individual tax situation and may differ from those shown in the preceding table. The after-tax return information shown above does not apply to Fund shares held through a tax-advantaged account, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA.
After-tax returns are only shown for Class T Shares of the Fund. After-tax returns for the other classes of Shares will vary from those shown for Class T Shares due to varying sales charges (as applicable), fees, and expenses among the classes.

Tax information
The Fund’s distributions are taxable, and will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account (in which case you may be taxed upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).
Payments to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries
If you purchase Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, Class I Shares, Class R Shares, or Class T Shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund or its distributor (or its affiliates) may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment or to recommend one share class over another. There is some regulatory uncertainty concerning whether marketing support or other similar payments may be made or received in connection with Class I Shares where a financial intermediary has imposed its own sales charges or transaction fees. As a result, based on future regulatory developments, such payments may be terminated, or the Fund may prohibit financial intermediaries from imposing such sales charges or transaction fees in connection with Class I Shares. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
