Dear Shareholder:

On December 21, 2025, Janus Henderson Group plc (“Janus Henderson”), Jupiter Company Limited, a company incorporated in Jersey (“Parent”), and Jupiter Merger Sub Limited, a company incorporated in Jersey and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which, in accordance with the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (as amended from time to time), Parent will acquire Janus Henderson by Merger Sub merging with and into Janus Henderson, with Janus Henderson continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Transaction”). Janus Henderson is the parent company of Janus Henderson Investors US LLC (“Janus Henderson Investors” or the “Adviser”).

Parent was formed by funds associated with Trian Fund Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Trian”), solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, Parent will be owned by, among others, funds associated with Trian and funds associated with General Catalyst Group Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“General Catalyst”). Subject to certain conditions, the Transaction is expected to close in mid-2026 (the “Closing”). The Closing of the Transaction will cause a change of control of Janus Henderson and, consequently, an “assignment” of the current advisory agreement between Janus Henderson Investors and your fund, which will cause such agreement to terminate.

In order to provide continuity of advisory services for your fund after the closing of the Transaction, the Board of Trustees for your fund is requesting that you vote on a proposal to approve a new investment advisory agreement between Janus Henderson Investors and your fund to permit Janus Henderson Investors to continue to serve as investment adviser to the fund following the Transaction.

The Board of Trustees for your fund is also requesting that you vote on a proposal to elect trustees to serve on the Board of Trustees for your fund.

The proposals will be presented to shareholders at a joint Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Monday, May 18, 2026. The Special Meeting of Shareholders will be held in a virtual meeting format, which will be conducted via live webcast. You may attend the Special Meeting of Shareholders online, vote your shares electronically and submit questions by visiting https://web.viewproxy.com/janushendersonjifjas/2026. The proposals are briefly summarized in the synopsis that precedes the enclosed joint proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”). The Proxy Statement includes a detailed discussion of the proposals, which you should read carefully.

The Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the proposals applicable to their fund.

You can vote in one of five ways:

•

By Internet through the website listed in the proxy voting instructions;

•

By touchtone telephone by calling the toll-free number listed on your proxy card(s) and following the recorded instructions;

•

By mail with the enclosed proxy card(s);

•

By voting at the virtual Special Meeting of Shareholders on Monday, May 18, 2026; or

•

By live agent by calling the fund’s solicitor, Alliance Advisors, LLC toll-free at 1-855-206-2338.

Your vote is important, so please read the enclosed Proxy Statement carefully and submit your vote by following the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and this proxy statement. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials includes instructions on how to request a hard copy of the proxy statement and proxy card for the Special Meeting of Shareholders free of charge, and you may also

SYNOPSIS

The following synopsis is a brief overview of the matters to be voted on at the joint Special Meeting of the Shareholders of the Janus Henderson funds listed in the enclosed joint proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”), or at any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Meeting”). The Proxy Statement contains more detailed information about each proposal, and we encourage you to read it in its entirety before voting.

Q:	What is happening?

Parent was formed by funds associated with Trian Fund Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Trian”), solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, Parent will be owned by, among others, funds associated with Trian and funds associated with General Catalyst Group Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“General Catalyst”). Subject to certain conditions, the Transaction is expected to close in mid-2026 (the “Closing”). Shareholders of the Janus Henderson funds listed in the enclosed Proxy Statement (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) are not being asked to vote on the Transaction. Rather, shareholders of each Fund are being asked to vote on a proposal to approve a new investment advisory agreement that is being presented to them as a result of the Transaction and to elect individuals to serve as Trustees on the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

The Closing of the Transaction will cause a change in the control of Janus Henderson and, consequently, an “assignment” of each Fund’s current investment advisory agreement with Janus Henderson Investors. Under the terms of each Fund’s current investment advisory agreement, this assignment will cause such agreement to terminate. Janus Henderson Investors recommended, and the Board of Trustees (the “Board,” the “Board of Trustees,” or the “Trustees”) of Janus Investment Fund (the “Trust”) has approved and recommends that you approve, a new investment advisory agreement between your Fund and Janus Henderson Investors. The new investment advisory agreement will have substantially identical terms as the current advisory agreement of such Fund.

In addition, the Board of Trustees is requesting that you elect each of Cheryl D. Alston, Alan A. Brown, Raudline Etienne, Darrell B. Jackson, Dominic Janssens, William F. McCalpin, Gary A. Poliner and Gwen L. Shaneyfelt (each, a “Trustee Nominee”) to serve as Trustees on the Board of Trustees of the Trust. Seven of the individuals you are being asked to consider for election currently serve on the Funds’ Board of Trustees and the remaining nominee would become a new Trustee upon election. Each nominee is considered “independent,” meaning that the nominee is not affiliated with the Funds’ adviser or its related entities, and if elected would serve as an “Independent Trustee.”

Each of these proposals is discussed further below.

Q:	How will I as a Fund shareholder be affected by the Transaction?

Your Fund investment will not change as a result of the Transaction. You will still own the same Fund shares and the underlying value of those shares are not expected to change as a result of the Transaction. The same personnel of the Adviser will continue to manage your Fund according to the same objectives and policies as before, and the Adviser does not anticipate any significant changes to your Fund’s operations.

Proposal 1: Approve New Investment Advisory Agreement

Q:	Why am I being asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement between my Fund and Janus Henderson Investors?

Janus Henderson Investors currently serves as your Fund’s investment adviser. The Closing of the Transaction will cause a change of control of the Adviser’s parent, which is considered an “assignment” of the current investment advisory agreement with your Fund. The terms of the current investment advisory agreement state that an assignment of such agreement causes the agreement to automatically terminate. Therefore, you are being asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and your Fund to permit the Adviser to continue to serve as investment adviser to the Fund following the Closing of the Transaction.

Q:	Will the Transaction result in any important differences between the new investment advisory agreement compared to the current investment advisory agreement for my Fund?

No. The terms of your Fund’s new investment advisory agreement with the Adviser are substantially identical to the current investment advisory agreement. There will be no change in the contractual advisory fee rate your Fund pays or the investment advisory services it receives as a result of the Transaction.

Q:	Why is approval of a new advisory agreement being recommended?

The Adviser recommended that the Board approve the new investment advisory agreements for each fund based, in part, on Janus Henderson’s belief that partnering with Trian and General Catalyst will allow for further investment in product offerings, client services, technology, and talent to accelerate growth and create stronger delivery for its clients, including mutual fund shareholders. Janus Henderson believes that following the Transaction it will be even better positioned to deliver differentiated insights, disciplined investments, and world-class service to its clients.

The Board approved, and determined to recommend that shareholders vote FOR approval of, the new investment advisory agreement for each Fund based on the Board’s review of information regarding the following matters: the management, financial position, access to resources, and business of Trian and General Catalyst; an overview of the history of Trian’s and General Catalyst’s businesses and operations; the proposed structure, operations, and investment processes of the investment management organization after the Transaction and the strategy for operating, governing and growing the business following the Transaction; information about how Trian and General Catalyst will assess potential enhancements to Janus Henderson following the close of the Transaction; the future plans of Janus Henderson with respect to the Funds and the fact that there are not any proposed changes to the operations or structure of the Funds; the future plans of Janus Henderson with respect to the provision of services to the Funds, and the entities providing such services, including those affiliated with Janus Henderson; the terms of the Transaction, and the anticipated management of Janus Henderson following the Closing.

The Board reviewed and considered various factors it deemed relevant, including the following factors, among others, none of which by itself was considered dispositive:

•

The terms of each of the New Advisory Agreements are substantially identical to each of the corresponding Current Advisory Agreements, and the contractual fee rate will not change;

•

The Adviser’s plans for the operations of the Funds, including its plans for the continued provision of all services currently provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including, among others, investment advisory services, portfolio trading services, investment research and analysis, cash management, investment risk management, compliance, administrative and accounting services, and the personnel and resources expected to support the provision of such services;

•

iii

arrangements introduced as a result of the Transaction and the parties thereto; (iii) the experience, capabilities and resources of Trian and General Catalyst may help Janus Henderson identify, finance and pursue growth opportunities, such as acquisitions; (iv) additional economies of scale could potentially be achieved in the future as a result of the willingness of Trian and General Catalyst to support Janus Henderson’s global asset management business; and (v) the Funds may benefit from organizational resources and initiatives introduced and implemented following the Transaction; and

•

The support expressed by the current senior management team at Janus Henderson for the Transaction and the Adviser’s recommendation that the Board approve the New Advisory Agreements.

See “Proposal 1—Board Considerations” for additional information.

Q:	What will happen if shareholders of my Fund do not approve the new investment advisory agreement before the Closing of the Transaction?

Pending shareholder approval of the proposed new investment advisory agreement, Janus Henderson Investors will continue to manage your Fund under an interim investment advisory agreement, which allows Janus Henderson Investors to manage your Fund for up to 150 days after Closing. During this interim period, advisory fees would be placed in escrow. If shareholders approve the new investment advisory agreement during the interim period, Janus Henderson Investors will receive the entire amount in the escrow account (including interest earned). If shareholders do not approve the new investment advisory agreement during the interim period, Janus Henderson Investors will receive the lesser of (i) the costs it incurred in performing such services (plus interest earned on that amount) or (ii) the total amount in the escrow account (plus interest earned). The Board urges you to vote without delay in order to avoid having to enter into an interim investment advisory agreement.

Proposal 2: Election of Trustees

Q:	Who are the nominees to be elected Trustees?

You are being asked to elect eight Trustees to serve on the Board: Cheryl D. Alston, Alan A. Brown, Raudline Etienne, Darrell B. Jackson, Dominic Janssens, William F. McCalpin, Gary A Poliner and Gwen L. Shaneyfelt. All nominees, other than Gwen L. Shaneyfelt, are currently Trustees of the Trust and have served in that capacity since originally elected or appointed. Ms. Shaneyfelt was unanimously approved by the Board to stand for election, upon a recommendation from the Trust’s Nominating and Governance Committee. Each of the current Trustees and Ms. Shaneyfelt are considered “independent,” meaning that the Trustees and nominees are not affiliated with Janus Henderson Investors US LLC (“Janus Henderson Investors”), the Funds’ adviser, or its related entities (an “Independent Trustee”).

Q:	Why am I being asked to elect Trustees?

The Funds are not required to hold annual meetings or to elect Trustees annually. The Board has sought to maintain its size at eight members, with each serving as an Independent Trustee. Currently, the Board has seven members, all of whom are Independent Trustees. While the Board ordinarily can fill vacancies without a shareholder vote, under applicable laws new Trustees may not be appointed if after such appointment two-thirds of the Trustees would not have been elected by shareholders, which would be the case if Ms. Shaneyfelt were appointed to the Board. Accordingly, you are being asked to elect Ms. Shaneyfelt and each currently serving Trustee as Independent Trustees to (1) return the Board to its normal size and (2) provide the Board with flexibility going forward to replace Trustees as needed without the time and expense of unnecessary proxy solicitations. Information about the Trustee nominees, including age, principal occupations during the past five years, and other information, such as the nominees’ experience, qualifications, attributes, or skills, is set forth in the Proxy Statement.

Voting

Q:	How does the Board of Trustees of the Trust suggest I vote with respect to each proposal?

A:	After careful consideration, the Board of Trustees of the Trust unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” each proposal. Please see the section of the Proxy Statement for a discussion of the Board’s considerations in making such recommendations.

Q:	Who is eligible to vote?

Shareholders who owned shares of a Fund and other series of the Trust at the close of business on Thursday, February 12, 2026 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to be present and vote at the Meeting. Those shareholders are entitled to one vote for each whole dollar (and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional dollar) of net asset value owned on all matters presented at the Meeting regarding their Fund.

Q:	How do I vote my shares?

A:	You can vote in any one of five ways:

•

By Internet through the website listed in the proxy voting instructions;

•

By telephone by calling the toll-free number listed on your proxy card(s) and following the recorded instructions;

•

By mail by sending the enclosed proxy card(s) (signed and dated) in the enclosed envelope;

•

By voting at the virtual Meeting on Monday, May 18, 2026; or

•

By live agent by calling the fund’s solicitor, Alliance Advisors, LLC (“Alliance Advisors”) toll-free at 1-855-206-2338.

Whichever method you choose, please take the time to read the full text of the Proxy Statement before you vote.

It is important that shareholders respond to ensure that there is a quorum for the Meeting. If we do not receive your response within a few weeks, you may be contacted by Alliance Advisors, the proxy solicitor engaged by the Funds, who will remind you to vote your shares and help you return your proxy. If we do not receive sufficient votes to approve the proposals by the date of the Meeting, we may adjourn the Meeting to a later date so that we can continue to seek additional votes.

Q:	If I send my vote in now as requested, can I change it later?

Yes. You may revoke your proxy vote at any time before it is voted at the Meeting by: (i) delivering a written revocation to the Secretary of the Trust at 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206; (ii) submitting a subsequently executed proxy vote; or (iii) attending the Meeting virtually and voting online. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, we ask that you return your proxy. This will help us ensure that an adequate number of shares are present at the Meeting for consideration of the proposals.

Q:	What is the required vote to approve the proposals?

Approval of Proposal 1 with respect to each Fund requires the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (such a majority referred to herein as a “1940 Act Majority”), of such Fund. A 1940 Act Majority means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares of the Fund entitled to vote thereon present at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares are present virtually or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of such outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote thereon.

Shareholders of each Fund (with all classes of shares of a Fund voting together as a single class) will vote separately on Proposal 1 relating to their Fund. An unfavorable vote on any proposal by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of such proposal by another Fund if the proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Fund. However, Proposal 1 will only take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is conditioned upon, among other things, obtaining the approval of new investment advisory agreements by Janus Henderson’s advisory clients, including the Funds, representing a specified percentage of Janus Henderson’s assets under management.

For Proposal 2, the Trustee elections will be determined by the affirmative vote of a plurality (the greatest number of affirmative votes) of the shares of all funds of the Trust, including all Funds listed in this Proxy Statement.

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at the Meeting. The presence virtually or by proxy of the holders of record of 30% of shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting constitutes a quorum.

Q:	Who is paying the costs of this solicitation?

The Funds will not bear any fees or expenses arising out of the Transaction, including expenses associated with proxy solicitation with respect to Proposal 1. Janus Henderson Investors will pay the fees and expenses related to Proposal 1, including the applicable portion of the cost of the preparation of proxy materials and their distribution, and costs incurred with the solicitation of proxies, including any additional solicitation made by letter, telephone, or otherwise, and the Meeting.

The fees and expenses related to Proposal 2, including the applicable portion of the cost of the preparation of proxy materials and their distribution, and costs incurred with the solicitation of proxies, including any additional solicitation made by letter, telephone, or otherwise, and the Meeting, will be split, with 50% being paid by Janus Henderson Investors and 50% being paid by the Funds.

Q:	Who should I call for additional information about this Proxy Statement?

A:	Please call Alliance Advisors, the proxy solicitor engaged by the Funds, toll-free at 1-855-206-2338.

Q:	How is the Meeting being held?

A:	The Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format, which will be conducted via live webcast. You may attend the Meeting, vote your shares electronically and submit questions by visiting https://web.viewproxy.com/janushendersonjifjas/2026.

Certain other Janus Henderson funds, which are series of a separate trust, are issuing separate proxy solicitation materials but will participate in the Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders. The Meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting of the Funds and the other Janus Henderson funds that will participate in the Meeting because the shareholders of each of the Funds and such other Janus Henderson funds are expected to consider and vote on similar matters. In the event that any shareholder of the Trust or the other participating trust present at the meeting objects to the holding of a joint meeting and moves for an adjournment of the Meeting with respect to the Trust or the other participating trust to a time immediately after the Meeting, so that Meeting with respect to the Trust or other participating trust may be held separately, the chairperson of the Meeting will adjourn the Meeting as so requested.

Q:	Why did I receive a notice regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a paper copy of proxy materials?

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has approved “Notice and Access” rules relating to the delivery of proxy materials over the Internet. These rules permit the Trust to furnish proxy materials, including this proxy statement, to shareholders by providing access to such documents on the Internet instead of mailing printed copies. Certain shareholders will not receive paper copies of the proxy materials unless they request them. Instead, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, which will be mailed to our shareholders, provides instructions regarding how you may access and review all of the proxy materials on the Internet. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also instructs you as to how you may authorize your proxy via the Internet or by telephone. If you would like to receive a paper or email copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials printed on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials.

The Adviser is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Henderson Group plc (“Janus Henderson”), a publicly traded company with principal operations in financial asset management businesses and approximately $493.2 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2025. On December 21, 2025, Janus Henderson, Jupiter Company Limited, a company incorporated in Jersey (“Parent”), and Jupiter Merger Sub Limited, a company incorporated in Jersey and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which, in accordance with the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (as amended from time to time), Parent will acquire Janus Henderson by Merger Sub merging with and into Janus Henderson, with Janus Henderson continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Transaction”).

Trian, an investment firm with significant experience investing and operating in the asset management sector, currently owns 20.7% of Janus Henderson’s outstanding shares and has been a shareholder since 2020 with Board representation since 2022. General Catalyst is a global investment and transformation company with a focus on applying artificial intelligence to enhance business operations.

As a result of the Transaction, Janus Henderson will no longer be a publicly traded company. As a private company, Janus Henderson would continue to be led by its current management team with Ali Dibadj as Chief Executive Officer and would maintain its main presence in both London, England, and Denver, Colorado.

Completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including (i) the requisite approval of the Agreement by the holders of common stock of Janus Henderson; (ii) regulatory approvals; and (iii) receipt of certain third party consents, including approval of new investment advisory agreements by Janus Henderson advisory clients, including the Funds, representing a specified percentage of Janus Henderson’s assets under management. The Agreement also contains certain termination rights for each of Janus Henderson and Trian and General Catalyst, acting through Parent.

Shareholders of the Funds are not being asked to vote on the Transaction. Rather, shareholders of the Funds are being asked to consider Proposal 1 (to approve a new investment advisory agreement) in connection with the Transaction. Proposal 1 is contingent upon the Closing of the Transaction and, if approved, will take effect only if the Transaction closes.

Shareholders of the Funds are also being asked to consider Proposal 2 (to elect Trustees of the Trust). Proposal 2 is not related to the Transaction and, if approved, will take effect whether or not the Transaction closes.

PROPOSAL 1

APPROVAL OF NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(All Funds)

Background

Pursuant to a separate investment advisory agreement between Janus Hendersons Investors and the Trust on behalf of each Fund (each a “Current Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Current Advisory Agreements”), Janus Henderson Investors serves as each Fund’s investment adviser. The date of each Fund’s Current Advisory Agreement and the date on which it was last approved by shareholders and approved for continuance by the Board are provided in Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.

Each Current Advisory Agreement, as required by Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides for its automatic termination in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). The Closing of the Transaction will cause a change of control of Janus Henderson, resulting in an “assignment” of each Current Advisory Agreement and, consequently, the automatic termination of each Current Advisory Agreement, as required by the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act requires that a new advisory agreement be approved by the board of trustees and the shareholders of a fund in order for it to become effective.

The Proposal

With respect to each Fund, shareholders of the Fund are being asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Adviser that is substantially identical to the Current Advisory Agreement to take effect immediately after the Transaction or shareholder approval, whichever is later (each, a “New Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “New Advisory Agreements”).

At a meeting of the Board held on February 11, 2026, and for the reasons discussed below, including the Adviser’s recommendation that the Board approve the New Advisory Agreements (see “Board Considerations”), the Board, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Funds or the Adviser and would not be an interested person of the Adviser upon the Closing of the Transaction (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the New Advisory Agreement on behalf of each Fund and unanimously recommended approval of the New Advisory Agreement by shareholders. For additional information regarding the Board’s consideration of the New Advisory Agreements, see “Board Considerations” below. The form of the New Advisory Agreement is attached hereto as Appendix N to this Proxy Statement.

Comparison of Current Advisory Agreements and New Advisory Agreements

The terms of each New Advisory Agreement are substantially identical and have no material differences to those of the Current Advisory Agreements. There is no change in the fee rate payable by each Fund to the Adviser. Changes made to the New Advisory Agreement compared to the Current Advisory Agreement include the date of expiration, and, for Funds with a performance-based investment advisory fee, maintaining the continuity of such fee. Below is a comparison of certain terms of the Current Advisory Agreement to the terms of the New Advisory Agreement.

Investment Advisory Services. The investment advisory services to be provided by the Adviser to each Fund are the same under the Current Advisory Agreements and the New Advisory Agreements. Both the Current Advisory Agreements and New Advisory Agreements provide that the Adviser shall furnish continuous advice and recommendations to each Fund, and shall have authority to act with respect thereto, as to the acquisition, holding, or disposition of any or all of the securities or other assets which each Fund may own or contemplate acquiring from time to time. The Adviser shall give due consideration to the investment policies and restrictions and the other statements concerning each Fund in the Trust’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as then in effect, the Trust’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as then in effect, and the registration statements of the Trust, and to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable to each Fund as a regulated investment company. In addition, the Adviser shall cause its officers to attend meetings and furnish oral and written reports, as each Fund may reasonably require, in order to keep the Board and appropriate officers of each Fund fully informed as to the condition of the investment portfolio of each Fund. The investment advisory services are expected to be provided by the same personnel of the Adviser under the New Advisory Agreements as under the Current Advisory Agreements.

Fees. Under each Current Advisory Agreement and New Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays to the Adviser an investment advisory fee which is calculated daily and paid monthly. Each Fund’s investment advisory fee rate under the New Advisory Agreement for such Fund is identical to the investment advisory fee rate under the Current Advisory Agreement. Certain Funds pay an investment advisory fee rate that may adjust up or down based on such Fund’s performance relative to the cumulative investment record of its benchmark index over a performance measurement period. For each such Fund, the terms of such performance adjustment under the New Advisory Agreement are identical to the terms of such performance adjustment under the Current Advisory Agreement. Appendix C to this Proxy Statement sets forth each Fund’s investment advisory fee rate, including those Funds with an investment advisory fee rate subject to a performance adjustment. Appendix F to this Proxy Statement sets forth the amount of fees paid to the Adviser during each Fund’s most recently ended fiscal year.

Janus Henderson Investors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse Fund expenses with respect to certain Funds. See Appendix F for additional information regarding fee waivers.

Payment of Expenses. Under each Current Advisory Agreement and the New Advisory Agreement, the Funds assume and pay all expenses incidental to their organization, operations and business not specifically assumed or agreed to be paid by the Adviser. These Fund expenses include custodian and transfer agency fees and expenses, brokerage commissions and dealer spreads, and other expenses in connection with the execution of portfolio transactions, legal and accounting expenses, interest, taxes, a portion of trade association or other investment company organization dues and expenses, registration fees, expenses of shareholders’ meetings, reports to shareholders, fees and expenses of Independent Trustees, and other costs of complying with applicable laws regulating the sales of Fund shares. The Funds, along with other Janus Henderson funds, also pay some or all of the salaries, fees, and expenses of certain Fund officers and employees of the Adviser (also sharing certain expenses and salaries for the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer and other compliance-related personnel employed by the Adviser as authorized by the Trustees from time to time). For Janus Henderson Money Market Fund and Janus Henderson Government Money Market Fund (together, the “Money Market Funds”), the Adviser pays for certain of these expenses pursuant to an Administration Agreement between the Adviser and these Funds.

Other Services. Under each Current Advisory Agreement and New Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is authorized, but not obligated, to perform management and administrative services necessary for the operation of each Fund. Specifically, the Adviser is authorized to conduct relations with custodians, depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys, underwriters, brokers and dealers, corporate fiduciaries, insurance company separate accounts, insurers, banks and such other persons in any such other capacity deemed by the Adviser to be necessary or desirable. The Adviser shall also generally monitor and report to the officers of the Trust regarding each Fund’s compliance with investment policies and restrictions as set forth in the currently effective prospectus and statement of additional information relating to the shares of each Fund. Additionally, the Adviser shall make reports to the Board of its performance of services upon request and furnish advice and recommendations with respect to such other aspects of the business and affairs of each Fund as it shall determine to be desirable. The Adviser is also authorized, subject to review by the Board, to furnish such other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to perform the services contemplated by the agreement. The Adviser also serves as administrator to the Funds pursuant to an Administration Agreement between Janus Henderson Investors and the Trust. See “Affiliated Service Providers, Affiliated Brokerage and Other Fees—Administrator” for additional information regarding these administrative services.

Limitation on Liability. The Current Advisory Agreements and New Advisory Agreements provide that the Adviser will not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission taken with respect to a Fund, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties except to the extent otherwise provided by law.

Continuance. The Current Advisory Agreement for each Fund continues in effect for successive one-year periods after its initial term, if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (a) the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the terms of such renewal,

and (b) either the Trustees of the Trust or the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The New Advisory Agreement for each Fund will have an initial term of one year, and will continue thereafter for successive one-year periods if approved by the Board at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, in the same manner required under the Current Advisory Agreement.

Termination. The Current Advisory Agreement and New Advisory Agreement for each Fund provide that the agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by the Board, or by the shareholders of the Fund acting by vote of at least a majority of its outstanding voting securities, provided in either case that sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of termination be given to the Adviser at its principal place of business. Further, the Current Advisory Agreement and the New Advisory Agreement may be terminated by the Adviser at any time, without penalty, by giving sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of termination to the Fund, addressed to its principal place of business.

Interim Advisory Agreements

In the event shareholders of a Fund do not approve the New Advisory Agreement at the Meeting prior to the Closing of the Transaction, an interim investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and such Fund (each, an “Interim Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Interim Advisory Agreements”) will take effect upon the Closing of the Transaction. At a meeting of the Board held on February 11, 2026, the Board, all of whom are Independent Trustees, unanimously approved an Interim Advisory Agreement for each Fund in order to assure continuity of investment advisory services to the Funds after the Transaction. The terms of each Interim Advisory Agreement are substantially identical to those of the applicable Current Advisory Agreement and New Advisory Agreement, except for the term and escrow provisions described below. Each Interim Advisory Agreement will continue in effect for a term ending on the earlier of 150 days from the closing of the Transaction (the “150-day period”) or when shareholders of the applicable Fund approve the New Advisory Agreement. Pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act, compensation earned by the Adviser under an Interim Advisory Agreement will be held in an interest-bearing escrow account. If shareholders of a Fund approve the New Advisory Agreement prior to the end of the 150-day period, the amount held in the escrow account under the Interim Advisory Agreement will be paid to the Adviser. If shareholders of a Fund do not approve the New Advisory Agreement prior to the end of the 150-day period, the Board will take such action as it deems to be in the best interests of the Fund, and the Adviser will be paid the lesser of its costs incurred in performing its services under the Interim Advisory Agreement or the total amount in the escrow account, plus interest earned.

Certain Conditions under the 1940 Act

The Board has been advised that the parties to the Agreement have structured the Transaction in reliance upon Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section 15(f) provides in substance that when a sale of a controlling interest in an investment adviser occurs, the investment adviser or any of its affiliated persons may receive any amount or benefit in connection with the sale so long as two conditions are satisfied. The first condition of Section 15(f) is that, during the three-year period following the consummation of a transaction, at least 75% of the investment company’s board of directors must not be “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment adviser or predecessor adviser. The composition of the Board of the Trust currently meets this test and would continue to meet this test after the trustee election pursuant to Proposal 2. Second, an “unfair burden” (as defined in the 1940 Act, including any interpretations or no-action letters of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the staff of the SEC) must not be imposed on the investment company as a result of the transaction relating to the sale of such interest, or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. The term “unfair burden” (as defined in the 1940 Act) includes any arrangement, during the two-year period after the transaction, whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser), or any “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of such an adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its security holders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for the investment company). Under the Agreement, Trian and General Catalyst, acting through Parent, have acknowledged Janus Henderson’s reliance upon the benefits and protections provided by Section 15(f) and have agreed to use reasonable best efforts after the Closing to conduct its business to cause the requirements of Section 15(f) to be met in respect of the Transaction.

Board Considerations

The Board of Trustees of the Trust, all of whom are Independent Trustees, convened a special meeting of the Board on January 14, 2026 (the “January 14 Special Meeting”), to meet with management representatives of

Janus Henderson for a preliminary discussion of the Transaction, its anticipated timeline and the expected implications for the Adviser and the Funds overseen by the Trustees. In connection with the January 14 Special Meeting, the Trustees also met and conferred with their independent legal counsel to formulate a due diligence process to seek to ensure that the Trustees have sufficient information to exercise their reasonable business judgment and determine whether to approve the New Advisory Agreements and to recommend that shareholders of the Funds do the same.

As part of its due diligence process, the Board developed an initial list of questions and informational requests related to the proposed Transaction, which was issued to the Adviser on January 16, 2026. At a special Board meeting held on January 30, 2026 (the “January 30 Special Meeting”), the Board reviewed and considered the Adviser’s response to the initial information request and raised various questions with management of Janus Henderson. Among other things, various Janus Henderson management representatives discussed the expected impact of the Transaction on the nature, extent, and quality of services the Adviser and its affiliates are expected to provide to the Funds following the Transaction, addressing, among other matters, the personnel expected to provide such services and efforts to attract and retain human capital, and the resources available to do so.

At the January 30 Special Meeting, in response to the Board’s request, certain representatives of Trian and General Catalyst met with the Independent Trustees to address various questions regarding each organization and the anticipated management and operation of Janus Henderson and the Adviser upon the Closing of the Transaction. With respect to Trian, the Trustees also considered its history as a significant shareholder of Janus Henderson for several years, including with nonexecutive director representatives on the Janus Henderson Board of Directors, and Trian’s support for the operational and strategic initiatives implemented by Janus Henderson’s senior management.

After the January 30 Special Meeting, the Trustees, in consultation with independent legal counsel, developed a supplemental request for additional information, which was provided to the Adviser on February 2, 2026. At a subsequent in-person special Board meeting held on February 11, 2026 (the “February 11 Special Meeting”), the Board considered the Adviser’s response to the supplemental information request and again met with the management of Janus Henderson to discuss the impact of the Transaction on the nature, extent, and quality of services the Adviser is expected to provide to the Funds following the Transaction, and also met with various officers of the Funds and of the Adviser. At the February 11 Special Meeting, the Board considered the proposed New Advisory Agreement and the proposed Interim Advisory Agreement for each of the Funds. During each of these meetings, the Board sought additional and clarifying information as it deemed necessary or appropriate. Throughout the process, the Board had the assistance of its independent legal counsel, who advised them on, among other things, its duties and obligations.

In connection with the Board’s review, the Adviser provided, and the Board obtained, information regarding the following matters: the management, financial position, access to resources, and business of Trian and General Catalyst; an overview of the history of Trian’s and General Catalyst’s businesses and operations; the proposed structure, operations, and investment processes of the investment management organization after the Transaction and the strategy for operating, governing and growing the business following the Transaction; information about how Trian and General Catalyst will assess potential enhancements to Janus Henderson following the close of the Transaction; the future plans of Janus Henderson with respect to the Funds and the fact that there are not any proposed changes to the operations or structure of the Funds; and the future plans of Janus Henderson with respect to the provision of services to the Funds, and the entities providing such services, including those affiliated with Janus Henderson. The Board also received information regarding the terms of the Transaction, and the anticipated management of Janus Henderson following the Closing.

In considering whether to approve the New Advisory Agreements, the Trustees also took into account their annual contract review process (“Annual Contract Review”) that they had recently undertaken, including with respect to the proposed continuation of the Current Advisory Agreements which had been approved for renewal at a meeting of the Board held on December 9-10, 2025. The Board noted that, as part of its Annual Contract Review, independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees prepares and issues various informational requests to the Adviser and its affiliates so that, in conjunction with information provided by other parties,

including its independent fee consultant, as well as information provided by the Adviser and the independent fee consultant over the course of the year, the Independent Trustees have sufficient information on which they were able to make an informed determination about the continuation of the Current Advisory Agreements. The Board noted that the information provided and considered in connection with the Annual Contract Review addressed various aspects of the Adviser’s organization, resources, and capabilities, including the nature and quality of services provided by the Adviser, as well as numerous other factors relevant to the consideration of the Current Advisory Agreements. These other factors included, among other things: each Fund’s investment performance, on an absolute basis and relative to appropriate peer groups and one or a combination of market indices; investment management fees, management fee breakpoints, performance fee structures, expense ratios, and asset sizes of the Funds, as applicable, and peer groups; the Adviser’s estimated profitability from the investment management services it provides to each Fund and whether the Adviser receives adequate incentives and resources to manage the Funds effectively; and other “fall-out” or ancillary benefits that accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds, including revenues derived from services provided to the Funds by affiliates of the Adviser. The Trustees also considered that the Current Advisory Agreements are the product of multiple years of review and negotiation and information received and considered by the Board in the exercise of their business judgment during those years. In view of the representations and statements made by Janus Henderson, Trian and General Catalyst, including that the terms of each New Advisory Agreement are substantially identical to the corresponding Current Advisory Agreement, with no change in the contractual advisory fee rate borne by a Fund or the investment advisory services it receives as a result of the Transaction, the Trustees determined to take into account information considered and conclusions reached during the Annual Contract Review as they deemed relevant in considering the approval of the New Advisory Agreements.

The Independent Trustees also considered various discussions with Trust officers and representatives of key constituencies at Janus Henderson relevant to the Funds. These discussions included a session with Janus Henderson’s then-Head of Strategy & Corporate Development and, effective April 1, 2026, the firm’s Chief Financial Officer, and Independent Trustees. At executive sessions in connection with the February 11 Special Meeting, the Independent Trustees discussed their observations from engaging with Trust officers and Janus Henderson representatives regarding the expected future state of Janus Henderson following the close of the Transaction. The Independent Trustees conferred with each other and with their independent legal counsel as they assessed the proposed New Advisory Agreements and Interim Advisory Agreements for the Funds. In so doing, each of the Independent Trustees applied his or her individual business judgment and relative institutional knowledge of the Funds’ management and Janus Henderson’s organizational practices, while recognizing variances in tenure among the Independent Trustees.

In determining whether to approve the New Advisory Agreement for each Fund in connection with the Transaction, and whether to recommend approval to Fund shareholders, the Board received information and made inquiries into necessary matters as it deemed appropriate. The Board reviewed and considered various factors it deemed relevant, including the following factors, among others, none of which by itself was considered dispositive:

•

The terms of each of the New Advisory Agreements are substantially identical to each of the corresponding Current Advisory Agreements, and the contractual fee rate will not change;

•

Statements from current management of Janus Henderson expressing the view that Trian and General Catalyst: (i) are growth-oriented investment firms; (ii) firmly believe in Janus Henderson’s culture and investment approach; and (iii) are committed to investing in the organization’s platform to achieve continued growth and success;

•

The Board’s understanding that (i) the Transaction is not expected to have a material impact on current commercial arrangements applicable to the Funds; and (ii) Trian and General Catalyst do not intend to disrupt ongoing plans and initiatives bearing on the Funds;

•

Statements from representatives of Janus Henderson and Trian that the organization’s anticipated level of indebtedness following the close of the Transaction is not expected to prevent or prohibit any presently anticipated organizational initiative or strategy;

•

Janus Henderson’s assessment of potential organizational benefits resulting from the Transaction, including that: (i) as a private company, Janus Henderson may have more flexibility in making additional investments in its business and patience to make significant long-term investments in its offerings and infrastructure; (ii) Janus Henderson may be able to take advantage of new or enhanced distribution arrangements introduced as a result of the Transaction and the parties thereto; (iii) the experience, capabilities and resources of Trian and General Catalyst may help Janus Henderson identify, finance and pursue growth opportunities, such as acquisitions; (iv) additional economies of scale could potentially be achieved in the future as a result of the willingness of Trian and General Catalyst to support Janus Henderson’s global asset management business; and (v) the Funds may benefit from organizational resources and initiatives introduced and implemented following the Transaction;

•

The support expressed by the current senior management team at Janus Henderson for the Transaction and the Adviser’s recommendation that the Board approve the New Advisory Agreements; and

•

The Adviser’s recommendation to approve the New Advisory Agreement based, in part, on Janus Henderson’s belief that partnering with Trian and General Catalyst will allow for further investment in product offerings, client services, technology, and talent to accelerate growth and create stronger delivery for its clients, including mutual fund shareholders. Janus Henderson believes that following the Transaction it will be even better positioned to deliver differentiated insights, disciplined investments, and world-class service to its clients.

In connection with its deliberations, the Board received assurances from Janus Henderson, on behalf of itself and its affiliates including the following:

•

Janus Henderson has provided to the Board such information as it believes is reasonably necessary to evaluate the New Advisory Agreements;

•

Janus Henderson is committed to the continuance, without interruption, of services to the Funds of at least the type and quality currently provided by the Adviser and its affiliates, or superior thereto;

•

The Transaction is not expected to negatively affect the nature, extent, or quality of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser to the Funds following the Transaction, and the investment advisory services are expected to be at least comparable to the services being provided under the Current Advisory Agreements. In this regard, the Board noted specific representations that Janus Henderson does not intend for the nature, extent, or quality of investment advisory and other services to be provided to the Funds following the Transaction to change;

•

Janus Henderson does not intend to make changes to the portfolio managers providing services to the Funds or to the manner in which each Fund’s assets are managed and that each Fund’s current operations are expected to remain unchanged;

•

The intent of Janus Henderson to take the necessary and appropriate steps to retain and attract its key investment advisory, compliance, financial, fund accounting, and administrative personnel supporting the management and oversight of the Funds; and

•

Janus Henderson is not aware of any express or implied term, condition, arrangement, or understanding that would impose in its best judgement an “unfair burden” on any Fund as a result of the Transaction, as defined in Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act, and that Janus Henderson will take no action that would have the effect of imposing such an “unfair burden” on any Fund in connection with the Transaction.

Janus Henderson assured the Board that it intended to comply with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act.

company’s board of directors must not be “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment adviser or predecessor adviser. The composition of the Board of the Trust currently meets this test and would continue to meet this test after the trustee election pursuant to Proposal 2. Second, an “unfair burden” (as defined in the 1940 Act, including any interpretations or no-action letters of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the staff of the SEC) must not be imposed on the investment company as a result of the transaction relating to the sale of such interest, or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. The term “unfair burden” (as defined in the 1940 Act) includes any arrangement, during the two-year period after the transaction, whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser), or any “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of such an adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its security holders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for the investment company). Under the Agreement, Trian and General Catalyst, acting through Parent, have acknowledged Janus Henderson’s reliance upon the benefits and protections provided by Section 15(f) and have agreed to use reasonable best efforts after the Closing to conduct its business to cause the requirements of Section 15(f) to be met in respect of the Transaction.

Janus Henderson represented that it does not believe that an “unfair burden” will be placed on the Funds as a result of the Transaction. In furtherance thereof, Janus Henderson has undertaken to pay the costs of preparing and distributing proxy materials to, and of holding the Meetings of, the Funds’ shareholders, as well as other fees and expenses in connection with the Transaction, including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel and consultants to the Funds and the Trustees.

In considering the approval of the proposed Interim Advisory Agreements at the February 11 Special Meeting, the Independent Trustees also took into account the specific purpose, limited term and other requirements relating to the Interim Advisory Agreements.

On the basis of its review and consideration of the information, factors and assurances described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined, through the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that the terms of each of the New Advisory Agreements and each of the Interim Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that the approval of such New Advisory Agreements and Interim Advisory Agreements is in the best interests of the Funds.

As a result of its review and consideration of the New Advisory Agreements in connection with the Transaction, at the February 11 Special Meeting the Board voted unanimously to approve a New Advisory Agreements for each Fund and to recommend such agreement to the Funds’ shareholders for their approval.

Shareholder Approval

To become effective with respect to a Fund, each New Advisory Agreement requires the affirmative vote of a 1940 Act Majority (as defined herein) of such Fund, with all classes of shares voting together as a single class. For purposes of determining the approval of the New Advisory Agreement, abstentions and broker non-votes (as are described further below) will have the same effect as shares voted against the proposal.

An unfavorable vote on the proposal to approve the New Advisory Agreement by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of the proposal by another Fund if the proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Fund. However, the New Advisory Agreement will only take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is conditioned upon, among other things, obtaining the approval of the New Advisory Agreements by shareholders of Janus Henderson advisory clients representing a specified percentage of Janus Henderson’s assets under management.

In the event that the Transaction does not, for any reason, occur, each Current Advisory Agreement will continue in effect in accordance with its terms.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders of each Fund vote FOR approval of the Fund’s New Advisory Agreement.

PROPOSAL 2

TRUSTEE ELECTION

(All Funds)

Introduction

At the Meeting, shareholders of all Funds will be asked to elect eight individuals to constitute the Trust’s Board of Trustees. All nominees, other than Gwen L. Shaneyfelt, are currently Trustees of the Trust and have served in that capacity since originally elected or appointed. Ms. Shaneyfelt was unanimously approved by the Board to stand for election, upon a recommendation from the Trust’s Nominating and Governance Committee.

The Funds are not required to hold annual meetings or to elect Trustees annually. The Board has sought to maintain its size at eight members, with each serving as a Trustee who is not an “interested” person (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) of the Trust or Janus Henderson Investors, the Funds’ investment adviser, (an “Independent Trustee”). Currently, the Board has seven members, all of whom are Independent Trustees. While the Board ordinarily can fill vacancies without a shareholder vote, under applicable laws new Trustees may not be appointed if after such appointment two-thirds of the Trustees would not have been elected by shareholders, which would be the case if Ms. Shaneyfelt were appointed to the Board. Accordingly, you are being asked to elect Ms. Shaneyfelt and each currently serving Trustee as Independent Trustees (1) to return the Board to its normal size and (2) to provide the Board with flexibility going forward to replace Trustees as needed without the time and expense of unnecessary proxy solicitations.

The eight nominees for election as Trustees who receive the greatest number of votes from shareholders voting online or by proxy at the Meeting will be elected as Trustees of the Trust. These eight nominees were selected after careful consideration by the Trust’s Nominating and Governance Committee, a committee consisting entirely of Independent Trustees, and the nominations were approved by all of the current Independent Trustees. Seven of the eight nominees currently serve as Trustees of the Trust. Each nominee has consented to serve as a Trustee and to being named in this Proxy Statement.

The persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card(s) will vote for the election of the Trustees unless authority to vote for any or all of the nominees is withheld.

If elected, each Trustee will serve as a Trustee until the next meeting of the shareholders, if any, called for the purpose of electing all Trustees or until the election and qualification of a successor. If a Trustee sooner dies, resigns, retires (currently expected at the end of the calendar year in which the Trustee turns age 75, unless extended by the Board of Trustees), or is removed as provided in the organizational documents of the Trust, the Board may, in its discretion and subject to the 1940 Act, select another person to fill the vacant position. If a Trustee Nominee should become unavailable for election at the Meeting due to events not now known or anticipated, the persons named as proxies will vote for such other nominee or nominees as the current Independent Trustees may recommend.

The Trust is not required, and does not intend, to hold annual shareholder meetings for the purpose of electing Trustees. Shareholders also have the right to call a meeting to remove a Trustee or to take other action described in the Trust’s organizational documents. Also, if at any time less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by the Trust’s shareholders, the Trustees then in office will promptly call a shareholder meeting for the purpose of electing one or more Trustees.

The Trustees and their backgrounds are shown on the following pages. This information includes each Trustee’s name, age, principal occupation(s) and other information about each Trustee’s professional background, including other directorships the Trustee holds or held, during the past five years. The address of each Trustee is 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206. Each Trustee serves as a trustee of Janus Aspen Series (“JAS”), another registered investment company advised by Janus Henderson Investors (JAS and the Trust, are collectively referred to herein as the “Janus Henderson Funds”). Collectively, the Janus Henderson Funds consist of 44 series as of December 31, 2025.

General Information Regarding the Board of Trustees

The Trust is governed by the Board of Trustees, which is responsible for and oversees the management and operations of the Trust and each Fund on behalf of Fund shareholders. Each member of the Board is an Independent Trustee, including the Chairman of the Board (the “Board Chairman”). The Board’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to, oversight of the Funds’ officers and service providers, including the Adviser, which is responsible for the Trust’s day-to-day operations. The Trustees approve all of the agreements entered into with the Funds’ service providers, including the investment advisory agreements with the Adviser. The Trustees are also responsible for determining or changing each Fund’s investment objective(s), policies, and available investment techniques based on the recommendations and input of the Adviser, as well as for overseeing the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. In carrying out these responsibilities, the Trustees are assisted by the Trust’s independent auditor (who reports directly to the Trust’s Audit Committee), independent counsel, an independent fee consultant, and other specialists as appropriate, all of whom are selected by the Trustees. The Trustees also meet regularly with and without representatives of the Adviser or its affiliates present.

The Trustees discharge their responsibilities collectively as a Board, as well as through Board committees, each of which operates pursuant to a Board-approved charter that delineates the specific responsibilities of that committee. For example, the Board as a whole is responsible for oversight of the annual process by which the Board considers and approves each Fund’s investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, but specific matters related to oversight of the Funds’ independent auditors have been delegated by the Board to its Audit Committee, subject to approval of the Audit Committee’s recommendations by the Board. The members and responsibilities of each Board committee are summarized below. In addition to serving on certain committees, the Board Chairman is responsible for presiding at all meetings of the Board and has other duties as may be assigned by the Trustees from time to time. The Board Chairman also serves as the Board’s liaison to the Adviser with respect to all matters related to the Funds that are not otherwise delegated to the chair of a Board committee. The Board has determined that this leadership structure is appropriate based on (1) the number of Funds overseen and the various investment objectives of those Funds; (2) the manner in which the Funds’ shares are marketed and distributed; and (3) the responsibilities entrusted to the Adviser and its affiliates to oversee the Trust’s day-to-day operations, including the management of each Fund’s holdings and the distribution of Fund shares. On an annual

basis, the Board conducts a self-evaluation that considers, among other matters, whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively and whether, given the size and composition of the Board and each of its committees, the Trustees are able to oversee effectively the number of Janus Henderson Funds in the complex.

There were six regular meetings and two special meetings of the Trustees held during the 12 months ended December 31, 2025. Each Trustee attended all of these meetings with few exceptions during that 12-month period. Because the Trust is not required to convene annual shareholder meetings, there is no policy requiring Trustee attendance at such meetings.

Committees of the Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees has six standing committees that perform specialized functions: an Audit Committee, an Investment Oversight Committee, a Nominating and Governance Committee, an Operations Committee, a Product and Distribution Committee, and a Trading and Pricing Committee. Each committee is comprised entirely of Independent Trustees and has a written charter that delineates its duties and powers. Each committee reviews and evaluates matters as specified in its charter and makes recommendations to the Trustees as it deems appropriate. Each committee may utilize the resources of counsel to the Independent Trustees and the Trust, independent auditors and other experts. The committees normally meet in conjunction with regular meetings of the Trustees but may convene at other times (in person or by telephone) as deemed appropriate or necessary. The membership and chairperson of each committee is appointed by the Trustees upon recommendation of the Trust’s Nominating and Governance Committee.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews the Trust’s financial reporting process, the system of internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, including the review of the adequacy of relevant personnel and the review of reports related to such system of internal controls, Form N-CSR, Form N-CEN, and Form N-PORT filings, and the audit process. The Audit Committee’s review of the audit process includes, among other things, the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the Trust’s independent auditor, which performs the audits of the Funds’ financial statements, regular meetings and communication with relevant personnel at the Adviser and the independent auditor, and pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services. The Audit Committee also reviews any significant changes or improvements in accounting and audit processes that have been implemented. The Audit Committee receives reports from the Trust’s Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Principal Accounting Officer, and from personnel responsible for internal audit functions related to financial reporting. The Audit Committee also oversees service providers that provide fund accounting and portfolio accounting services to the Trust. Currently, the members of the Audit Committee are: Gary A. Poliner (Chair), Cheryl D. Alston, Alan A. Brown, and Dominic Janssens. The Committee held seven meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2025. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix K.

Investment Oversight Committee. The Investment Oversight Committee oversees the investment activities of the series of the Trust. The Committee meets regularly with investment personnel at the Adviser and any subadviser to the Funds to review the investment performance, investment risk characteristics, objectives, and strategies of the Funds. The Investment Oversight Committee reviews reports regarding the use of derivative instruments by the Funds and information and reports with respect to proposed new investment instruments and techniques. The Investment Oversight Committee reviews various matters related to the operations of the Money Market Funds, including the review of reports related to such operations, compliance with the Trust’s Money Market Fund Procedures, and Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Currently, the members of the Investment Oversight Committee are: Cheryl D. Alston (Chair), Alan A. Brown, Raudline Etienne, Darrell B. Jackson, Dominic Janssens, William F. McCalpin, and Gary A. Poliner. The Committee held five meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2025.

Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies and recommends individuals for Trustee membership, recommends an independent Trustee to serve as Board Chairman, consults with Fund officers and the Board Chairman in planning Trustee meetings, reviews the responsibilities of each Board committee, which includes the need for new committees and the continuation of existing committees, and oversees the administration of, and ensures compliance with, the Trust’s Governance

Procedures and Guidelines adopted by the Trustees. The Nominating and Governance Committee also leads the Trustees’ annual self-assessment process and continuing education program, reviews, and proposes changes to, Trustee compensation, and oversees the administration of the Trust’s insurance program. Currently, the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are: William F. McCalpin (Chair), Alan A. Brown, and Raudline Etienne. The Committee held eight meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2025. A copy of the Nominating and Governance Committee Charter is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix L.

Operations Committee. The Operations Committee oversees certain matters related to the operation of the Trust. The Operations Committee receives reports regarding the operation of the Trust’s securities lending program, the implementation of the Proxy Voting Procedures and Guidelines, and various information technology, cybersecurity, and data privacy risks related to the Trust and the Trust’s service providers. The Operations Committee oversees service providers providing operations-related services to the Trust, including the Trust’s custodian and transfer agent. The Committee receives reports from personnel responsible for the Trust’s enterprise risk function and the Adviser’s internal audit function. In addition, the Committee oversees compliance with certain procedures adopted by the Trust under exemptive orders of the SEC. Currently, the members of the Operations Committee are: Dominic Janssens (Chair), Raudline Etienne, Darrell B. Jackson, William F. Calpin, and Gary A. Poliner. The Committee held four meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2025.

Product and Distribution Committee. The Product and Distribution Committee provides oversight of matters regarding the Trust’s product lineup and the distribution of shares of the Funds. The Product and Distribution Committee reviews matters relating to the initial strategy, design, and positioning of new Funds and material changes to the strategy, design, and/or positioning of existing Funds. The Product and Distribution Committee receives reports regarding potential Fund closures, liquidations, or mergers, certain Fund fees and expenses, and marketing and distribution strategies for the Funds including payments made by the Funds pursuant to the Trust’s distribution and shareholder servicing plans. The Product and Distribution Committee reviews certain regulatory filings made with the SEC and oversees and receives reporting from service providers providing product and distribution-related services to the Trust. Currently, the members of the Product and Distribution Committee are: Darrell B. Jackson (Chair), Alan A. Brown, Raudline Etienne, and William F. McCalpin. The Product and Distribution Committee held seven meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2025.

Trading and Pricing Committee. The Trading and Pricing Committee oversees matters relating to the pricing of the Funds’ securities and the placement of portfolio transactions. The Trading and Pricing Committee oversees the Adviser as valuation designee and reviews reports on fair valuation determinations and valuation methodologies regarding securities and investments held by the Funds pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. The Trading and Pricing Committee also reviews other matters related to pricing the Funds’ securities and approves changes to the valuation procedures. The Trading and Pricing Committee receives reporting regarding portfolio transactions with affiliates undertaken in accordance with the Trust’s procedures, efforts to obtain best execution in connection with portfolio transactions and commissions paid to firms supplying research and brokerage services. The Trading and Pricing Committee also receives reports regarding foreign exchange trading by the Funds. In addition, the Trading and Pricing Committee oversees service providers providing trading and pricing-related services to the Trust and reviews reports from the administrator of the Trust’s liquidity risk management program. Currently, the members of the Trading and Pricing Committee are: Gary A. Poliner (Chair), Alan A. Brown, and Dominic Janssens. The Committee held four meetings during the 12 months ended December 31, 2025.

Process for Identifying and Evaluating Trustee Nominees and Nominee Qualifications

The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board is responsible for identifying and nominating candidates for appointment as Trustees. As stated in the Nominating and Governance Committee’s charter, (1) the principal criterion for selection of candidates for the Board is the candidate’s ability to contribute to the overall functioning of the Board and to carry out the responsibilities of a Trustee, and (2) the Trustees should, collectively, represent a broad cross section of backgrounds, functional disciplines, and experience. In

considering a potential candidate’s qualifications to serve as a Trustee, the Nominating and Governance Committee may also take into account a variety of other diverse criteria, including, but not limited to (i) knowledge of the investment company industry; (ii) relevant experience; (iii) educational background; (iv) reputation for high ethical standards and personal and professional integrity; (v) financial, technical or other expertise; (vi) time commitment to the performance of duties of a Trustee; (vii) stature commensurate with the responsibility of representing Fund shareholders; and (viii) if a candidate is nominated for an Independent Trustee position, that the person meets the independence criteria established by the 1940 Act and the Governance Procedures and Guidelines adopted by the Trustees.

Consistent with the Trust’s organizational documents and procedures adopted by the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider Trustee nominations made by shareholders. Shareholders of a Fund may submit names of potential candidates for consideration by the Nominating and Governance Committee by submitting their recommendations to the Trust’s Secretary, at the address of the principal executive office of the Trust, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Nominating and Governance Committee. A copy of such procedures is included as Appendix 1 to the Nominating and Governance Committee Charter attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix L.

The Nominating and Governance Committee may use any process it deems appropriate for identifying and evaluating candidates for service as a Trustee, which may include, without limitation, personal interviews, background checks, written submissions by the candidates, third party references, and the use of consultants, including professional recruiting firms. The Nominating and Governance Committee will evaluate nominees for a particular vacancy using the same process regardless of whether the nominee is submitted by a Fund shareholder or identified by some other means. On an annual basis, the Board conducts a self-evaluation that considers, among other matters, the contributions of individual Trustees, whether the Board has an appropriate size and the right mix of characteristics, experiences and skills, and whether the age distribution and diversity among the Trustees is appropriate.

After completion of its process to identify and evaluate Trustee nominees, and after giving due consideration to all factors it deemed appropriate, the Nominating and Governance Committee approved for nomination, and recommended that the Trustees approve for nomination, the Trustee Nominees identified herein. The Nominating and Governance Committee believes that if elected, the Trustees qualify to serve as an Independent Trustee. The Trustees’ background is detailed above.

The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Trustees considered the totality of the information available to them, and took into account the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills discussed below to conclude that each Trustee Nominee should serve as a Trustee, in light of the Trust’s business and structure. In reaching these conclusions, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Trustees, in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment, evaluated each Trustee Nominee based on the criteria described above, and reviewed the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that Trustee Nominee presented, none of which by itself was considered dispositive.

Board Oversight of Risk Management

The Adviser, as part of its responsibilities for the day-to-day operations of the Janus Henderson Funds, is responsible for day-to-day risk management for the Funds. The Board, as part of its overall oversight responsibilities for the Janus Henderson Funds’ operations, oversees the Adviser’s risk management efforts with respect to the Funds. The Board, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, also separately considers potential risks that may impact the Janus Henderson Funds. The Board discharges its oversight duties and considers potential risks in a number of different ways, including, but not limited to, receiving reports on a regular basis, either directly or through an appropriate committee, from the Adviser and its officers. Reports received include those from, among others, the Adviser’s (1) senior managers responsible for oversight of global risk, including, for example, those responsible for oversight of operational risks and cyber risks in particular; (2) senior managers responsible for oversight of Fund construction and trading risk; (3) Chief Compliance Officer; and (4) the Global Head of Internal Audit. At the time these reports are presented, the Board or the committee receiving the report will, as it deems necessary, invite the presenter to participate in an executive session to discuss matters outside the presence of any other officers or representatives of the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board also receives reports from other entities and individuals unaffiliated with the Adviser, including reports from the Janus Henderson Funds’ other service providers and from independent consultants hired by the Board.

The Board has appointed the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (the “CCO”) who (1) reports directly to the Board and (2) provides a comprehensive written report annually and presents quarterly at the Board’s regular meetings. The Trust’s CCO, who also serves as Janus Henderson’s Head of Compliance, North America, discusses relevant risk issues that may impact the Janus Henderson Funds and/or the Adviser’s services to the Funds, and routinely meets with the Board in private without representatives of the Adviser or its affiliates present. The Trust’s CCO also provides the Board with updates on the application of the Janus Henderson Funds’ compliance policies and procedures, including how these procedures are designed to mitigate risk and what, if any, changes have been made to enhance the procedures. The Trust’s CCO may also report to the Board on an ad hoc basis in the event that she identifies issues associated with the Janus Henderson Funds’ compliance policies and procedures that could expose the Funds to additional risk or adversely impact the ability of the Adviser to provide services to the Funds.

The Board believes that its leadership structure permits it to effectively discharge its oversight responsibilities with respect to the Janus Henderson Funds’ risk management process.

Trustee Share Ownership

Under the Trust’s Governance Procedures and Guidelines, the Trustees are expected to invest in one or more (but not necessarily all) funds advised by the Adviser for which they serve as Trustee, to the extent they are directly eligible to do so. For each Trustee, these investments are expected, in the aggregate and at a minimum, to equal median Trustee annual compensation with an allowance for new Trustees to reach this level of investment over time. These investments may include amounts held under a deferred compensation plan that are valued based on “shadow investments,” where any deferred amount is treated as though an equivalent dollar amount has been invested in shares of one or more funds advised by the Adviser. Such investments, including the amount and which funds, are dictated by each Trustee’s individual financial circumstances and investment goals.

The dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by each Trustee and Trustee Nominee in each Fund and all Janus Henderson Funds overseen by the Trustee as of December 31, 2025 in the aggregate is set forth in Appendix G to this Proxy Statement.

Compensation of Trustees

The Trust pays each Independent Trustee an annual retainer plus a fee for each regular in-person meeting of the Trustees attended, a fee for in-person meetings of committees attended if convened on a date other than that of a regularly scheduled meeting, and a fee for telephone meetings of the Trustees and committees. In addition, committee chairs and the Board Chairman receive an additional supplemental retainer. Each current Independent Trustee also receives fees from other Janus Henderson Funds for serving as Trustee of those funds. The Adviser pays persons who are directors, officers, or employees of the Adviser or any affiliate thereof, or any Trustee considered an “interested” Trustee, for their services as Trustees or officers. The Trust and other funds managed by the Adviser may pay all or a portion of the compensation and related expenses of the CCO and compliance staff, as authorized from time to time by the Trustees. None of the Trustees receives any pension or retirement benefits from the Fund or the Janus Henderson Funds. Effective January 1, 2006, the Trustees established a deferred compensation plan using “shadow investments” under which the Trustees may elect to defer receipt of all, or a portion, of the compensation they earn for their services to the Fund, in lieu of receiving current payments of such compensation.

The Trust’s Nominating and Governance Committee, which consists solely of Independent Trustees, annually reviews and recommends to the Independent Trustees any changes to compensation paid by the Funds to the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees also meet at least annually to review their fees in connection with the recommendations of the Nominating and Governance Committee, to ensure that such fees continue to be appropriate in light of the Trustees’ responsibilities as well as in relation to fees paid to trustees of other similarly situated mutual fund complexes.

The tables set forth in Appendix H to this Proxy Statement show, for each Trustee and Trustee Nominee, the compensation paid by each Fund to each Trustee and Trustee Nominee for its last fiscal year, as well as the total compensation paid by all Janus Henderson Funds to each Trustee and Trustee Nominee for the calendar year ended December 31, 2025.

Officers of the Trust

The officers of the Trust and their principal occupations are set forth in Appendix I to this Proxy Statement.

Shareholder Approval

Election of the Trustees will be determined by the affirmative vote of a plurality (the greatest number of affirmative votes) of the shares of all funds of the Trust, including all Funds listed in this Proxy Statement.

For purposes of determining the election of the Trustees, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

The election of the Trustees is not contingent on the Closing of the Transaction.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders of the Trust vote FOR the Trustees.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Based on the Audit Committee’s recommendation, the Board of Trustees, all of whom are Independent Trustees, selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm during the Trust’s current fiscal year. In accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (“ISB No. 1”), PwC has confirmed to the Trust’s Audit Committee that it is an independent registered accounting firm with respect to the Funds. Representatives of PwC will be available at the Meeting to answer appropriate questions concerning the Trust’s financial statements and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so choose.

Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by PwC for the audit of annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by PwC in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the fiscal years ending in 2025 and 2024 for each Fund and Janus Henderson Investors or entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Janus Henderson Investors that provide ongoing services to the Funds (collectively, “Fund Service Providers”), are listed in the tables set forth in Appendix J to this Proxy Statement.

Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services by PwC that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees” above for the fiscal years ending in 2025 and 2024 for each Fund and the Fund Service Providers are listed in the tables set forth in Appendix J to this Proxy Statement. The nature of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category includes the review of semiannual reports to shareholders.

Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by PwC for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning for the fiscal years ending in 2025 and 2024 for each Fund and the Fund Service Providers are listed in the tables set forth in Appendix J to this Proxy Statement. The nature of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category includes tax compliance, tax planning, tax advice, and corporate actions review.

All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by PwC, other than the services reported in “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees,” and “Tax Fees” above, for the fiscal years ending in 2025 and 2024 for each Fund and the Fund Service Providers are listed in the tables set forth in Appendix J to this Proxy Statement. The nature of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category includes the review of semiannual reports to shareholders, an annual study and evaluation of internal accounting controls, training, registration statement review, and Qualified Foreign Individual Investor (“QFII”) services.

Pre-Approval of Certain Services. The Trust’s Audit Committee Charter requires the Audit Committee to pre-approve any engagement of PwC (i) to provide audit or non-audit services to the Trust or (ii) to provide non-audit services to the Fund Service Providers, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “Pre-Approval Exception”). The Chair of the Audit Committee or, if the Chair is unavailable, another member of the Audit Committee who is an Independent Trustee, may grant the pre-approval. All such delegated pre-approvals must be presented to the Audit Committee no later than the next Audit Committee meeting.

None of the services rendered by PwC to the Funds or to Janus Henderson Investors (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or any Fund Service Providers for the fiscal years ending in 2025 and 2024 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the Pre-Approval Exception.

Non-Audit Fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by PwC for services rendered to the Trust, and rendered to Janus Henderson Investors (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any Fund Service Providers for the fiscal years ending in 2025 and 2024 are listed in the tables set forth in Appendix J to this Proxy Statement.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING

Quorum and Voting

Each holder of a whole or fractional share shall be entitled to one vote for each whole dollar and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional dollar of net asset value of shares held in such shareholder’s name as of the Record Date. If you are not the owner of record, but your shares are instead held for your benefit by a financial intermediary such as a retirement plan service provider, broker-dealer, bank trust department, insurance company, or other financial intermediary, that financial intermediary may request that you provide instruction on how to vote the shares you beneficially own. Your financial intermediary will provide you with additional information.

Thirty percent of the shares entitled to vote of each Fund shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business by that Fund at the Meeting. Any lesser number is sufficient for adjournments. Quorum with respect to each proposal is described in greater detail below. In the event that the necessary quorum to transact business or the vote required to approve a proposal is not obtained at the Meeting, the chairperson of the Meeting may adjourn the Meeting one or more times to permit further solicitation of proxies.

“Broker non-votes” are shares held by a broker or nominee for which an executed proxy is received by a Fund, but are not voted because instructions have not been received from beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote, and the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power. For purposes of voting on a proposal, abstentions and “broker non-votes” will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, but do not represent votes cast in favor of an adjournment, postponement, or a proposal. Therefore, if your shares are held through a broker or other nominee, it is important for you to instruct the broker or nominee how to vote your shares.

Certain funds in the Janus Henderson fund complex are considered “fund of funds” and invest their assets in the Janus Henderson Funds. Such funds of funds will vote any shares of the Funds for and against any matter in the same proportion as the votes of other shareholders of the underlying funds.

Proposal 1: Approval of New Investment Advisory Agreement. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on Proposal 1. To become effective with respect to a Fund, the New Advisory Agreement requires the affirmative vote of a 1940 Act Majority of the applicable Fund, with all classes of shares voting together as a single class. A 1940 Act Majority means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares of the Fund entitled to vote thereon present at the meeting if the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares are present virtually or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of such outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote thereon. The shares of each Fund will be counted using dollar-based voting. This means that each share of a Fund will represent a number of votes equal to that share’s net asset value on the record date. For purposes of determining the approval of the New Advisory Agreement, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as shares voted against the proposal.

An unfavorable vote on the proposal to approve the New Advisory Agreement by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of the proposal by another Fund if the proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Fund. However, the proposal will only take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is conditioned upon, among other things, obtaining the approval of new investment advisory agreements by Janus Henderson advisory clients representing a specified percentage of Janus Henderson’s assets under management.

Proposal 2: Trustee Election. Election of the trustees will be determined by the affirmative vote of a plurality (the greatest number of affirmative votes) of the shares with respect to each Fund in the Trust. All series of the Trust are being solicited with respect to the election of the Trustees. The shares of each series of the Trust will be counted using dollar-based voting. This means that each share of a Fund will represent a number of votes equal to that share’s net asset value on the record date. The presence virtually or by proxy of the holders of record of 30% of the aggregate total shares entitled to vote of all Funds in the Trust constitutes a quorum at the Meeting with respect to this Proposal 2, with all classes of shares of the Funds voting together as a single class.

Fund Share Ownership

The number of outstanding shares and net assets of each class of each Fund, as applicable, as of the close of business on the Record Date, is included in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

Beneficial owners of 5% or more of the outstanding shares of each class of each Fund are provided in Appendix M to this Proxy Statement. To the best knowledge of the Trust, no person or entity beneficially owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of a Fund except as stated in Appendix M. To the best knowledge of the Trust, entities shown as owning 25% or more of a Fund, unless otherwise indicated, are not the beneficial owners of such shares.

Solicitation of Proxies

In addition to solicitation of proxies by mail, certain officers and representatives of the Trust, certain officers and employees of the Adviser or its affiliates, and certain financial services firms and their representatives, without extra compensation, or a solicitor, may conduct additional solicitations personally, by telephone, U.S. mail, verbal, internet, email, or by any other means available.

Janus Henderson Investors has engaged Alliance Advisors, a professional proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Funds, at an estimated cost of $34 million plus any out-of-pocket expenses. Among other things, Alliance Advisors will be: (i) required to maintain the confidentiality of all shareholder information; (ii) prohibited from selling or otherwise disclosing shareholder information to any third party; and (iii) required to comply with applicable telemarketing laws.

Brokers, banks, and other fiduciaries may be required to forward soliciting material to their principals on behalf of a Fund and to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. To the extent Janus Henderson or a Fund would have directly borne the expenses for those services, Janus Henderson will reimburse those intermediaries for their expenses. The Board has determined that the use of this Proxy Statement is in the best interest of each Fund in light of the similar proposals being considered and voted on by the shareholders of each Fund. Certain other Janus Henderson funds, not listed in this Proxy Statement, will also hold meetings of shareholders with similar proposals. If you were also a shareholder of record of one or more of those other funds on the record date established for the meetings of shareholders of such other funds, you will receive a separate proxy statement and proxy card(s) relating to those funds.

As the Meeting date approaches, certain shareholders whose votes have not been received may receive telephone calls from a representative of Alliance Advisors. Authorization to permit Alliance Advisors to execute proxies may be obtained by telephonic or electronically transmitted instructions from shareholders of each Fund. Proxies that are obtained telephonically will be recorded in accordance with the procedures described below. Janus Henderson Investors believes that these procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that both the identity of the shareholder casting the vote and the voting instructions of the shareholder are accurately determined.

In all cases where a telephonic proxy is solicited, the Alliance Advisors representative is required to ask for certain identifying information from each shareholder. Then the representative will ask the shareholder to vote their shares by telephone, and ask for the shareholder’s instructions on the proposal(s). Although the representative is permitted to answer questions about the process, he or she is not permitted to recommend to the shareholder how to vote. The representative may read the recommendations set forth in this Proxy Statement.

The representative will record the shareholder’s instructions. Within 72 hours, the shareholder will be sent a confirmation of his or her vote asking the shareholder to call Alliance Advisors, toll-free at 1-855-206-2338 immediately if his or her instructions are not accurately reflected in the confirmation.

Telephone Touch-Tone Voting. Shareholders may provide their voting instructions through telephone touch-tone voting by following the instructions on the proxy card(s). Shareholders will have an opportunity to review their voting instructions and make any necessary changes before submitting their voting instructions and terminating their telephone call.

Internet Voting. Shareholders may provide their voting instructions through Internet voting by following the instructions on the proxy card(s). Shareholders who vote via the Internet, in addition to confirming their voting instructions prior to submission and terminating their Internet session, will, upon request, receive an e-mail confirming their voting instructions.

If a shareholder wishes to participate in the Meeting but does not wish to give a proxy by telephone or via the Internet, the shareholder may still submit the proxy card(s) originally sent with the Proxy Statement in the postage-paid envelope mailed or provided to the shareholder, or attend the Meeting virtually. Shareholders requiring additional information regarding the proxy or replacement proxy card(s) may contact Alliance Advisors, toll-free at 1-855-206-2338. Any proxy given by a shareholder is revocable until voted at the Meeting.

Revoking a Proxy. Any shareholder submitting a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is exercised at the Meeting by submitting to the Secretary of the Trust at 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206, a written notice of revocation or a subsequently executed proxy, or by attending the Meeting virtually and voting online. All properly executed and unrevoked proxies received in time for the Meeting will be voted as specified in the proxy or, if no specification is made, will be voted “FOR” the proposal(s), as described in this Proxy Statement.

Shares Held by Accounts of Insurance Companies. Shares of the Funds may be held by certain separate accounts of insurance companies to fund benefits payable under certain variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. Your insurance company may request that you provide it with voting instructions for your beneficially held shares of any such separate account. If you do not provide voting instructions to your insurance company, it may vote all of the shares held in that separate account in the same proportions as the voting actually received from its other variable contract holders for that separate account.

Shareholder Proposals for Subsequent Meetings

The Funds are not required, and do not intend, to hold annual shareholder meetings. Shareholder meetings may be called from time to time as described in the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Trust.

Under the proxy rules of the SEC, shareholder proposals that meet certain conditions may be included in a Fund’s proxy statement for a particular meeting. Those rules currently require that for future meetings, the shareholder must be a record or beneficial owner of Fund shares either (i) with a value of at least $2,000 or (ii) in an amount representing at least 1% of the Fund’s securities to be voted at the time the proposal is submitted and for one year prior thereto, and must continue to own such shares through the date on which the meeting is held. Another requirement relates to the timely receipt by a Fund of any such proposal. Under those rules, a proposal must have been submitted within a reasonable time before the Fund began to print and mail this Proxy Statement in order to be included in this Proxy Statement. A proposal submitted for inclusion in a Fund’s proxy material for the next special meeting after the meeting to which this Proxy Statement relates must be received by the Fund within a reasonable time before the Fund begins to print and mail the proxy materials for that meeting.

A shareholder wishing to submit a proposal for inclusion in a proxy statement subsequent to the Meeting, if any, should send the written proposal to the Secretary of the Trust at 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206, within a reasonable time before a Fund begins to print and mail the proxy materials for that meeting. Notice of shareholder proposals to be presented at the Meeting must have been received within a reasonable time before the Funds began to mail this Proxy Statement. The timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee its inclusion in the proxy materials.

To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, the Funds may mail only one copy of each report, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or this Proxy Statement to shareholders having the same last name and address on the Funds’ records. The consolidation of these mailings benefits the Funds through reduced mailing expenses. If a shareholder wants to receive multiple copies of these materials or to receive only one copy in the future, the shareholder should contact the Funds’ transfer agent, Janus Henderson Services, at 1-800-525-3713 or notify the Funds’ transfer agent in writing at P.O. Box 219109, Kansas City, MO 64121-9109.

Other Matters to Come Before the Meeting

The Board of Trustees is not aware of any matters that will be presented for action at the Meeting other than the matters described in this Proxy Statement. Should any other matter requiring a vote of shareholders arise, the proxy in the accompanying form will confer upon the person or persons entitled to vote the shares represented by such proxy the discretionary authority to vote the shares as to any other matters, in accordance with their best judgment in the interest of the Trust and/or Funds.

Please vote by Internet or telephone promptly, or complete, sign, and return the enclosed proxy card(s). No postage is required if you mail your proxy card(s) in the United States.

By Order of the Board of Trustees,

(2)	Reflects investment advisory fee rate effective as of January 2, 2026.

(3)	Additional Information Regarding Performance Fees:

For each Fund listed in the chart below, the investment advisory fee rate is determined by calculating a base fee (shown in the previous table) and applying a performance adjustment (described in further detail below). The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the base fee depending on how well each Fund has performed relative to its benchmark index as shown below:


Fund	Benchmark Index	Performance Hurdle
Janus Henderson Contrarian Fund	S&P 500 Index		7.00
Janus Henderson Forty Fund	Russell 1000 Growth Index		8.50
Janus Henderson Global Real Estate Fund	FTSE EPRA Nareit Global Index		4.00
Janus Henderson Global Research Fund	MSCI World Index		6.00
Janus Henderson Mid Cap Value Fund	Russell 3000 Index		4.00
Janus Henderson Overseas Fund	MSCI All Country World ex-USA Index		7.00
Janus Henderson Research Fund	Russell 1000 Growth Index		5.00
Janus Henderson Small Cap Value Fund	Russell 2000 Value Index		5.50
Janus Henderson Small-Mid Cap Value Fund	Russell 2500 Value Index		5.00

The calculation of the performance adjustment applies as follows:

Investment Advisory Fee = Base Fee Rate +/– Performance Adjustment

The investment advisory fee rate paid to the Adviser by each Fund in the table above consists of two components: (1) a base fee calculated by applying the contractual fixed rate of the advisory fee to the Fund’s average daily net assets during the previous month (“Base Fee Rate”), plus or minus (2) a performance-fee adjustment (“Performance Adjustment”) calculated by applying a variable rate of up to 0.15% (positive or negative) to the Fund’s average daily net assets during the applicable performance measurement period. The performance measurement period is the previous 36 months.

As an example, if the Fund outperformed its Performance Fee Benchmark over the 36-month performance measurement period by its Performance Hurdle, the advisory fee rate would increase by 0.15% (assuming constant assets). Conversely, if the Fund underperformed its Performance Fee Benchmark over the performance measurement period by its Performance Hurdle, the advisory fee rate would decrease by 0.15% (assuming constant assets). Actual performance within the full range of the Performance Hurdle rate may result in positive or negative incremental adjustments to the advisory fee rate of greater or less than 0.15%.

No Performance Adjustment is applied unless the difference between a Fund’s investment performance and the cumulative investment record of the Fund’s benchmark index is 0.50% or greater (positive or negative)

C-2

during the applicable performance measurement period. The Base Fee Rate is subject to an upward or downward Performance Adjustment for every full 0.50% increment by which the Fund outperforms or underperforms its benchmark index. Because the Performance Adjustment is tied to a Fund’s relative performance compared to its benchmark index (and not its absolute performance), the Performance Adjustment could increase the Adviser’s fee even if the Fund’s shares lose value during the performance measurement period and could decrease the Adviser’s fee even if the Fund’s shares increase in value during the performance measurement period. For purposes of computing the Base Fee Rate and the Performance Adjustment, net assets are averaged over different periods (average daily net assets during the previous month for the Base Fee Rate, versus average daily net assets during the performance measurement period for the Performance Adjustment). Performance of a Fund is calculated net of expenses whereas a Fund’s benchmark index does not have any fees or expenses. Reinvestment of dividends and distributions is included in calculating both the performance of a Fund and the Fund’s benchmark index. The Base Fee Rate is calculated and accrued daily. The Performance Adjustment is calculated monthly in arrears and is accrued throughout the month. The investment advisory fee is paid monthly in arrears. Under extreme circumstances involving underperformance by a rapidly shrinking Fund, the dollar amount of the Performance Adjustment could be more than the dollar amount of the Base Fee Rate. In such circumstances, the Adviser would reimburse the applicable Fund. The application of an expense limit, if any, will have a positive effect upon a Fund’s performance and may result in an increase in the Performance Adjustment. It is possible that the cumulative dollar amount of additional compensation ultimately payable to the Adviser may, under some circumstances, exceed the cumulative dollar amount of management fees waived by Janus Henderson Investors.

The investment performance of a Fund’s Class A Shares (waiving the upfront sales load) for the performance measurement period is used to calculate the Performance Adjustment. After the Adviser determines whether a particular Fund’s performance was above or below its benchmark index by comparing the investment performance of the Fund’s load-waived Class A Shares against the cumulative investment record of that Fund’s benchmark index, the Adviser applies the same Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) across each other class of shares of the Fund, as applicable. It is not possible to predict the effect of the Performance Adjustment on future overall compensation to the Adviser since it depends on the performance of each Fund relative to the record of the Fund’s benchmark index and future changes to the size of each Fund.

The following table shows the compensation paid to each Trustee and Trustee Nominee by each Fund for the Fund’s fiscal year ended in 2025, as well as the total compensation paid by all of the Janus Henderson Funds during the calendar year 2025. None of the Trustees receives any pension or retirement benefits from the Funds and the Janus Henderson Funds. The Trustees have established a deferred compensation plan under which a Trustee may elect to defer receipt of all, or a portion, of the compensation earned for services to the Funds and the Janus Henderson Funds, in lieu of receiving current payments of such compensation. Any deferred amount is treated as though an equivalent dollar amount has been invested in shares of one or more funds advised by Janus Henderson Investors as selected by the Trustee (“shadow investments”).

Audit Committee Charter

JANUS ASPEN SERIES

JANUS INVESTMENT FUND

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

(Amended and Restated Effective April 15, 2021)

I.	PURPOSE

The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) is a committee of the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) of each of Janus Aspen Series and Janus Investment Fund (individually, a “Trust,” and together, the “Trusts” and each series thereof, a “Fund”). Its primary function is to review the financial reporting process, the system of internal controls over financial reporting, and the audit process of the Trusts. In performing its duties, the Committee will seek to maintain effective working relationships with the Trustees, management, and the independent registered public accounting firm. The Committee serves to provide an open avenue of communication among the independent registered public accounting firm, the internal audit function as it relates financial reporting, management and the Trustees.

Management has the primary responsibility to establish and maintain systems for fund accounting, fund reporting, and internal controls, which functions may be delegated to an agent, provided management provides adequate oversight. The independent registered public accounting firm has the primary responsibility to plan and implement the audit, with proper consideration given to the Trusts’ accounting, reporting and internal controls over financial reporting practices.

The Committee may have additional functions and responsibilities as deemed appropriate by the Trustees and the Committee.

Although the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits nor to determine that the Trusts’ financial statements are complete or accurate or have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Nor is it the duty of the Committee to assure compliance with laws and regulations.

II.

COMPOSITION

The Committee shall be comprised of three or more Independent Trustees, each of whom shall be designated by a majority vote of the Trustees and shall be free from any relationship that, in the opinion of the Trustees, would interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment as a member of the Committee. For purposes of this Charter, Independent Trustees are those Trustees of a Trust who (1) are not “interested persons” of any Trust, as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), (2) do not accept any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Trust (except for services as a Trustee or member of a committee of the Trustees) and (3) who meet the standards for independence set forth in the Trusts’ Governance Procedures and Guidelines.

Each member of the Committee shall be financially literate, as such qualification is interpreted by the Trustees in their business judgment (or shall become financially literate within a reasonable time after his or her appointment to the Committee). The Committee will review the qualifications of its members and determine whether any one or more of its members qualify as “audit committee financial experts” as defined in Form N-CSR. The Committee will submit such determination to the Trustees for their final determination. Committee members may pursue continuing education related to their responsibilities including enhancing their familiarity with finance and accounting by participating in educational programs from time to time at the expense of the Trust.

To effectively perform his or her role, each Committee member will seek to obtain an understanding of the detailed responsibilities of Committee membership. Each Committee member will also seek to achieve an

K-1

understanding of the Trusts’ separation of duties and responsibilities among the investment adviser, sub-adviser(s), if any, fund accounting function and principal accounting officer, and the risks associated with such responsibilities. The duties and responsibilities of a Committee member shall be in addition to his or her duties as a Trustee and include responsibility to prepare for, attend to the extent possible, and actively participate in Committee meetings.

The members and Chair of the Committee shall be elected by the Trustees and serve until their successors shall be duly elected and qualified. The members of the Committee shall be elected annually. Unless a Chair is elected by the Trustees, the Committee members may designate a Chair by majority vote.

III.

MEETINGS

The Committee shall meet four times annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate. Special meetings (including telephone and videoconference meetings) may be called by the Chair or a majority of the members of the Committee upon reasonable notice to the other members of the Committee. The presence in person, by telephone, by video conference or by other electronic means of a majority of the number of Committee members shall constitute a quorum at any meeting provided each such member participating can hear and be heard by the other participating members. The Committee may ask management and representatives of the Trusts’ servicing agents to attend meetings and provide pertinent information as appropriate.

With a view to fostering open communication, the Committee shall meet regularly with senior management responsible for accounting and financial reporting, the Trusts’ independent registered public accounting firm, and personnel responsible for internal audit functions related to financial reporting, and if necessary shall meet in separate executive sessions with the foregoing personnel to discuss any matters that the Committee, or any of such other persons, believes should be discussed privately. The Committee may also request to meet with internal legal counsel of Janus Henderson Investors US LLC (the “Adviser”), with compliance personnel, and with representatives of entities that provide significant accounting or administrative services to a Trust to discuss matters relating to a Trust’s accounting and compliance as well as other Trust-related matters.

For informational purposes, attached as Appendix A is an example of a typical year Committee calendar covering routine matters and an indication of those parties that are expected to be responsible for addressing certain matters on a quarterly or annual basis.

IV.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES

In discharging their duties, the Committee members are entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, if prepared or presented by: (1) one or more officers of the Trust whom the Committee members reasonably believe to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; (2) legal counsel, independent registered public accountants, or other persons as to matters the Committee members reasonably believe are within the person’s professional or expert competence; or (3) a Board committee of which the Committee member is not a member.

To fulfill its responsibilities and duties, the Committee shall:

(a)

the Committee shall be responsible for the recommendation of the selection, compensation, and retention of the independent registered public accounting firm and directly responsible for oversight (such oversight shall include resolving disagreements between management and the

On an annual basis, receive in writing and review the independent registered public accounting firm’s specific representations as to its independence. Such review should include, among other things, disclosures regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence required to be included in the firm’s PCAOB 3524, 3525, and 3526 letters and compliance with the applicable independence provisions of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. Based on this review, the Committee will recommend that the Trustees take appropriate action, if any, in response to the independent registered public accounting firm’s report to satisfy itself of the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.

If available, the Committee may review the independent registered public accounting firm’s registration application to the PCAOB and its Annual Report submitted to the PCAOB.

Review the highlights of the PCAOB’s inspection reports of the independent registered public accounting firm provided by such firm, and the highlights of the response of the such firm to such report, if available.

(a)

the services were not recognized by management at the time of the engagement as non-audit services; and

(b)

the aggregate fees paid for all such non-audit services provided to the Trust are no more than 5% of the total fees paid by the Trust to the independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal year in which the non-audit services are provided; and

(c)

such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee by management and the Committee approves them (which may be by delegation) prior to the completion of the audit.

Pre-approval of non-audit services for the Adviser (or any “control affiliate” of the Adviser providing ongoing services to a Trust) is not required if:

(a)

such non-audit services were not recognized by management at the time of the engagement as non-audit services;

(b)

the aggregate fees for all such non-audit services provided are no more than 5% of the total fees paid by the Trust, the Adviser and any “control affiliate” of the Adviser providing ongoing services to the Trust to its independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal year of the Trust in which the non- audit services are provided; and

(c)

such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee by management and the Committee approves them (which may be by delegation) prior to the completion of the audit.

K-3

Review, at least annually, a written report from the independent registered public accounting firm describing:

(a)

any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality- control review, or peer review, of the independent registered public accounting firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years, respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the independent registered public accounting firm, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues; and

Address, as the Committee deems appropriate, reports from attorneys or auditors of possible material breaches of federal or state securities laws or fiduciary duty.

C.	Financial Reporting Processes

Independent Trustees are those Trustees of the Trusts who are not “interested persons” of the Trusts, as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and who meet the standards for independence set forth in the Procedures and Guidelines.

The members and Chair of the Committee shall be elected by the Trustees and serve until their respective successors shall be duly elected and qualified. The members of the Committee shall be elected annually.

III.

MEETINGS

The Committee shall meet four times annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate. Special meetings (including telephone and videoconference meetings) may be called by the Chair or a majority of the members of the Committee upon reasonable notice to the other members of the Committee. The presence in person, by telephone, by videoconference or by other electronic means of a majority of members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum at any meeting, provided each such member participating can hear and be heard by the other participating members. If a quorum is not present, the member(s) of the Committee who is/are present may select any other Independent Trustee(s) to serve on the Committee for such meeting to constitute a quorum. The Committee may ask management and representatives of the Trusts’ servicing agents to attend meetings and provide pertinent information, as appropriate.

IV.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES

In performing its duties, the Committee will seek to maintain effective working relationships with the Trustees and management. To effectively perform his or her role, each Committee member will seek to obtain an understanding of the detailed responsibilities of Committee membership. Each Committee member will also seek to achieve an understanding of the Trusts’ separation of duties and responsibilities among the investment adviser, sub-adviser(s), if any, custodian, transfer agent, fund accounting function and principal accounting officer, and the risks associated with such responsibilities. The duties and responsibilities of a Committee member shall be in addition to his or her duties as a Trustee and include responsibility to prepare for, attend to the extent possible, and actively participate in Committee meetings. Members may pursue continuing education related to their responsibilities.

L-1

A.	Trustee Nominations, Elections, and Training

The Committee shall:

Identify and nominate candidates for appointment as Trustees of the Trusts. The principal criterion for selection of candidates is their ability to contribute to the overall functioning of the Boards and to carry out the responsibilities of the Trustees. The Trustees, collectively, should represent a broad cross section of backgrounds, functional disciplines, and experience. In addition, in considering a potential candidate’s qualifications to serve as a Trustee of a Trust, the Committee may take into account a wide variety of criteria, including, but not limited to:

(a)

The candidate’s knowledge in matters related to the investment company industry, any professional licenses, designations, or certifications currently or previously held;

(b)

The candidate’s relevant experience, including as a director or senior officer of public or private companies, or service as a director/trustee of a registered investment company;

(c)

The candidate’s educational background;

(d)

The candidate’s reputation for high ethical standards and personal and professional integrity;

(e)

Any specific financial, technical, or other expertise possessed by the candidate, and the extent to which such expertise would complement the Trustees’ existing mix of skills and qualifications;

(f)

The candidate’s willingness to serve, and willingness and ability to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Trustee, including high attendance at regular and special meetings and participation in committee activities as needed;

(g)

The candidate must appropriately understand the Independent Trustees’ role as a “watch dog” for Fund shareholders;

(h)

If the nomination is for an “independent” trustee, the candidate must not be considered an “interested” person of the Funds, Janus Henderson Investors US LLC (the “Adviser”), or any sub-adviser to a Fund or Janus Distributors LLC dba Janus Henderson Distributors, as defined under the 1940 Act, and must meet the standards for independence set forth in the Procedures and Guidelines;

(i)

The candidate must otherwise be qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a trustee of the applicable Trust; and

(j)

Such other criteria as the Committee determines to be relevant in light of the existing composition of the Board, number of Board members and any anticipated vacancies or other factors.

Although the Adviser, current Trustees, current shareholders of a Fund or other source deemed appropriate by the Committee may submit to the Committee suggested candidates for Trustees, neither the Committee nor the Independent Trustees as a group shall consider those candidates on a preferential basis as opposed to other possible candidates. Shareholders may submit the name of a candidate for consideration by the Committee by submitting their recommendations to a Trust’s Secretary in accordance with the Procedures for Consideration of Trustee Candidates Submitted by Shareholders (“Shareholder Nomination Procedures”) attached as Appendix 1. The Trust’s Secretary will forward all such recommendations to the Chair of the Committee (or his or her designee) promptly upon receipt, and, for shareholder recommendations, in accordance with the Shareholder Nomination Procedures.

The Committee may use any process it deems appropriate for the purpose of evaluating candidates, which process may include, without limitation, personal interviews, background checks, written submissions by the candidates, and third-party references. The Committee shall be empowered to use Trust assets to retain consultants and other professionals to assist in the process of evaluating candidates. There is no difference in the manner by which the Committee will evaluate nominees when the nominee is submitted by a shareholder.

The Committee reserves the right to make the final selection regarding the nomination of any Trustee of a Trust and to recommend such nomination to the Independent Trustees of the applicable Trust.

L-2

Review periodically the composition and size of the Board of Trustees to determine whether it may be appropriate to add individuals with backgrounds or skill sets different from those of the current Trustees.

Oversee arrangements for continuing education for the Independent Trustees and orientation of new Independent Trustees.

B.	Committee Nominations and Functions

The Committee shall:

Identify and recommend individuals for membership on all committees, recommend individuals to chair committees, and review committee assignments at least annually.

Review as necessary the responsibilities of each committee, whether there is a continuing need for each committee, whether there is a need for additional committees, and whether committees should be combined or reorganized.

C.	Governance Oversight

The Committee shall:

Oversee the governance processes and activities of the Trustees to assure conformity to the Procedures and Guidelines.

Recommend an Independent Trustee of the Trust for appointment by the Trustees as Chair of the Trustees, as described in each Trust’s Declaration of Trust or Trust Instrument, or by-laws. The Chair of the Trustees may perform the following functions:

(a)

Act as the primary contact between the Adviser and the Trustees, undertaking to meet or confer periodically with members of the Adviser’s executive team regarding matters related to the operations of the Trusts and the performance of the Funds;

(b)

Review annually the Procedures and Guidelines, and recommend changes, if any, to the Trustees.

D.	Trustee Meeting Planning

The Committee shall consult with management in planning Trustee meetings and may from time to time recommend agenda items, or request presentations from particular service providers, consultants, or portfolio managers, either to the Committee or the Trustees.

E.	Other Responsibilities and Duties

The Committee shall:

Review annually the compensation of the Independent Trustees and determine whether to recommend to the Trustees any change in the schedule of compensation. The Committee may also recommend that the Trustees authorize the payment of supplemental compensation to any one or more Independent Trustees in view of special responsibilities assumed, services rendered, or any other appropriate factors.

L-3

Authorize and oversee investigations into any matters within the Committee’s scope of responsibilities. The Committee shall be empowered to use Trust assets to retain independent counsel, consultants, and other professionals to assist in the conduct of any investigation or to advise the Committee. The Adviser will report any use of Trust assets for such purpose quarterly to the Trustees.

Oversee administration of the Trusts’ insurance program, including the coverage afforded by any directors and officers liability insurance and the Trusts’ compliance with Rules 17d-1 and 17g-1 under the 1940 Act.

JANUS INVESTMENT FUND

JANUS ASPEN SERIES

(each a “Trust” and together, the “Trusts,” and

each series of a Trust, a “Fund”)

PROCEDURES FOR CONSIDERATION OF TRUSTEE CANDIDATES SUBMITTED BY SHAREHOLDERS

(Adopted March 16, 2004; Last Revised June 20, 2019)

The Trusts’ Nominating and Governance Committee (“Committee”) is responsible for identifying and nominating candidates for appointment as Trustees of the Trusts. Shareholders of a Fund may submit names of potential candidates for nomination as Trustee of a Trust in accordance with these Procedures.

A candidate for nomination as Trustee of a Trust submitted by a shareholder will not be deemed to be properly submitted to the Committee for the Committee’s consideration unless the following qualifications have been met and procedures followed:

1. A shareholder of a Fund who wishes to nominate a candidate for election to a Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Nominating Shareholder”) must submit any such recommendation in writing via regular mail to the attention of the Secretary of the Trust, at the address of the principal executive offices of the Trust (“Shareholder Recommendation”).

2. The Shareholder Recommendation must include: (i) the class or series and number of all shares of the Fund owned beneficially or of record by the Nominating Shareholder at the time the recommendation is submitted and the dates on which such shares were acquired, specifying the number of shares owned beneficially; (ii) a full listing of the proposed candidate’s education, experience (including knowledge of the investment company industry, any professional licenses, designations or certifications currently or previously held, any non-profit activities relevant to board services, experience as a director or senior officer of public or private companies, and directorships on other boards or other boards of other registered investment companies), current employment, date of birth, business and residence address, and the names and addresses of at least three professional references; (iii) information as to whether the candidate is or may be an “interested person” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Fund, Janus Henderson Investors US LLC, any sub-adviser to a Fund, or Janus Henderson Distributors US LLC and, if believed not to be an “interested person,” information regarding the candidate that will be sufficient for the Committee to make such determination; (iv) the written and signed consent of the candidate to be named as a nominee and to serve as a Trustee of the Trust, if elected; (v) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the Nominating Shareholder, the candidate and/or any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the Shareholder Recommendation is being made, and if none, so specify; (vi) the class or series and number of all shares of the Fund owned of record or beneficially by the candidate, at the time the recommendation is submitted as reported by the candidate; and (vii) such other information that would be helpful to the Committee in evaluating the candidate.

3. The Committee may require the Nominating Shareholder to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require or deem necessary to verify any information furnished pursuant to paragraph 2 above or to determine the qualifications and eligibility of the candidate proposed by the Nominating Shareholder to serve as a Trustee of a Trust. If the Nominating Shareholder fails to provide such other information in writing within fourteen days of receipt of written request from the Committee, the recommendation of such candidate as a nominee will be deemed not properly submitted for consideration, and the Committee is not required to consider such candidate.

Unless otherwise specified by the Committee chair (or his or her designee) or by outside counsel to the independent Trustees, the Secretary of the Trust (or his or her designee) will promptly forward all Shareholder Recommendations to the Committee chair (or his or her designee) and the outside counsel to the independent

Appendix M

Principal Holders

Except as set forth below, as of January 30, 2026, the officers and Trustees as a group owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of any other class of each of the Funds.


Fund	Share Class	Percentage owned by officers and Trustees as a group
Janus Henderson Absolute Return Income Opportunities Fund	Class A Shares		1.14	%
Janus Henderson Contrarian Fund	Class N Shares		4.97	%
Janus Henderson Global Allocation Fund – Growth	Class I Shares		1.21	%
Janus Henderson Global Life Sciences Fund	Class N Shares		1.38	%
Janus Henderson Global Research Fund	Class N Shares		1.55	%
Janus Henderson Global Select Fund	Class N Shares		7.63	%
Janus Henderson Global Sustainable Equity Fund	Class N Shares		37.54	%
Janus Henderson Growth and Income Fund	Class A Shares		3.50	%
Janus Henderson Growth and Income Fund	Class N Shares		6.64	%
Janus Henderson International Dividend Fund	Class N Shares		9.82	%

Janus Henderson Triton Fund	Class D Shares		1.42	%
Janus Henderson U.S. Dividend Income Fund	Class D Shares		4.32	%
Janus Henderson U.S. Dividend Income Fund	Class N Shares		2.48	%

Each officer and Trustee individually owned less than 1% of each Fund.

In addition, an investment by the Adviser’s funds of funds may comprise a significant percentage of a share class or Fund. As of January 30, 2026, the percentage ownership of any person or entity owning 5% or more of the outstanding shares of any class of the Funds is listed in the table below.

Any person or entity that beneficially owns, directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25% of the voting securities of a company is presumed to “control” such company. Accordingly, to the extent that a person or entity is identified as the beneficial owner of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund, or is identified as the record owner of more than 25% of a Fund and has voting and/or investment powers, that person or entity may be presumed to control such Fund. A controlling shareholder’s vote could have a more significant effect on matters presented to shareholders for approval than the vote of other Fund shareholders.

As of January 30, 2026, no person or entity owned beneficially 5% or more (or beneficially owned more than 25%) of the outstanding Shares of any class of the Funds.

To the extent that the Adviser, an affiliate, or an individual, such as a Fund’s portfolio manager(s), owns a significant portion of the shares of any class of a Fund or a Fund as a whole, the redemption of those shares may have an adverse effect on the Fund, a share class, and/or its shareholders. The Adviser may consider the effect of redemptions on such Fund and the Fund’s other shareholders in deciding whether to redeem its shares. In certain circumstances, the Adviser’s ownership may not represent beneficial ownership. To the best knowledge of the Trust, entities other than the Adviser shown as owning more than 25% of the outstanding shares of a class of a Fund are not the beneficial owners of such shares, unless otherwise indicated.

WHEREAS, the Trust is authorized to create separate funds, each with its own separate investment portfolio of which the beneficial interests are represented by a separate series of shares; one of such funds created by the Trust being designated as the [Fund Name] (the “Fund”); and

WHEREAS, the Trust and the Adviser deem it mutually advantageous that the Adviser should be appointed as investment adviser to the Fund.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser shall determine the securities or other assets to be purchased, sold or held and shall place orders for the purchase or sale of such securities or other assets with brokers, dealers or others. The Adviser shall furnish continuous advice and recommendations to the Fund, and have authority to act with respect thereto, as to the acquisition, holding, or disposition of any or all of the securities or other assets which the Fund may own or contemplate acquiring from time to time (which may include, but is not limited to investment in other funds managed by the Adviser).

In addition, the Adviser shall cause its officers to attend meetings and furnish oral or written reports, as the Trust may reasonably require, in order to keep the Trustees and appropriate officers of the Trust fully informed as to the condition of the investment portfolio of the Fund.

Schedule A

Performance Adjustment

The Base Fee shall be adjusted monthly based upon the investment performance of the Class A Shares (waiving the upfront sales load) (“Class”) in relation to the cumulative investment record of the Fund’s benchmark, the [Fund’s Benchmark Index] (the “Index”), over the “Performance Period” (such adjustment being referred to herein as the “Performance Adjustment”). The “Performance Period” is defined as the 36-month period preceding the end of the month for which the fee is being calculated.

The Performance Adjustment shall be calculated by subtracting the investment record of the Index from the investment performance of the Class. If there is less than a 0.50% difference (plus or minus) between the investment performance of the Class and the investment record of the Index, the Fund pays the Adviser the Base Fee with no adjustment. If the difference between the investment performance of the Class and the investment record of the Index is 0.50% or greater during any Performance Period, the Base Fee will be subject to an upward or downward performance adjustment of 1/12 of [ %] for every full 0.50% increment by which the Class outperforms or underperforms the Index. The maximum percentage used in calculating the Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) in any month is 1/12 of [ %]. The Performance Adjustment is applied against the Fund’s average daily net assets during the Performance Period.

For purposes of computing the Base Fee and the Performance Adjustment, net assets are averaged over different periods (average daily net assets during the relevant month for the Base Fee versus average daily net assets during the Performance Period for the Performance Adjustment). The Base Fee is calculated and accrued daily. The Performance Adjustment is calculated monthly in arrears and is accrued daily, beginning no later than the second business day of the month, and thereafter, the amount is distributed evenly throughout the month. The investment advisory fee is paid monthly in arrears.

The average daily net asset value of the Fund, or any class thereof, shall be determined in the manner set forth in the Trust Instrument, Bylaws and registration statement, each as may be amended from time to time.

The investment performance of the Class will be the sum of:

(1) the change in the Class’ net asset value (“NAV”) per share during the Performance Period; plus

(2) the value of the Class’ cash distributions per share accumulated to the end of the Performance Period; plus

(3) the value of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed realized long-term capital gains accumulated to the end of the Performance Period;

expressed as a percentage of the Class’ NAV per share at the beginning of the Performance Period. For this purpose, the value of distributions per share of realized capital gains, of dividends per share paid from investment income and of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed realized long-term capital gains shall be treated as reinvested in shares of the Class at the NAV in effect at the close of business on the record date for the payment of such distributions and dividends and the date on which provision is made for such taxes, after giving effect to such distributions, dividends and taxes.

The investment record of the Index will be the sum of:

(1) the change in the level of the Index during the Performance Period; plus

(2) the value, computed consistently with the Index, of cash distributions made by companies whose securities comprise the Index accumulated to the end of the Performance Period; expressed as a percentage of the Index level at the beginning of the Performance Period. For this purpose, cash distributions on the securities which comprise the Index shall be treated as reinvested in the Index at least as frequently as the end of each calendar quarter following the payment of the dividend.

The Trustees have designated the Class to be used for purposes of determining the Performance Adjustment. From time to time, the Trustees may, by vote of the Trustees of the Trust voting in person, including a majority
