[Insert 40 Act Proxy Video – FUND FOCUS]

Our CEO, Ali Dibadj, shares an important update for shareholders and highlights why your vote matters.

As Janus Henderson moves toward closing its take private transaction with Trian and General Catalyst, U.S. mutual fund and ETF shareholders are being asked to vote on a new investment advisory agreement.

Soliciting votes from shareholders is required as part of the ownership shift —not a change in investment teams, processes, or how portfolios are managed.

![LOGO](g54884g51t48.jpg) The Boards of Trustees recommends shareholders vote FOR approval, which will allow Janus Henderson to continue serving as investment adviser to the funds following the transaction's close.

Clients can vote quickly and easily:
