(1) The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse operating expenses to the extent that the Fund's total annual fund operating expenses (excluding the fees payable pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 plan, shareholder servicing fees, such as transfer agency fees (including out-of-pocket costs), administrative services fees and any networking/omnibus fees payable by any share class; brokerage commissions; interest; dividends; taxes; acquired fund fees and expenses; and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.85% for at least a one-year period commencing on January 27, 2023. This contractual waiver may be terminated or modified only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. For a period beginning with the Fund's commencement of operations (June 25, 2020) and expiring on the third anniversary of the commencement of operations, or when the Fund's assets meet the first breakpoint in the investment advisory fee schedule (0.75% of the first $2 billion of the average daily closing net asset value of the Fund), whichever occurs first, the Adviser may recover from the Fund fees and expenses previously waived or reimbursed, if the Fund's expense ratio, including recovered expenses, falls below the expense limit or the expense limit in effect at the time the fees and expenses subject to recoupment were waived. There is no guarantee that the Fund's assets will reach this asset level.

**EXAMPLE:**

The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and reinvest all dividends and distributions. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses are equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver for the first year and the Total Annual

Fund Operating Expenses thereafter. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. The Example for Class C Shares for the ten-year period reflects the conversion to Class A Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

**Portfolio Turnover:** The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 33% of the average value of its portfolio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**Principal investment strategies**<br>

The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. The Fund will typically invest in companies whose products and services are considered by the portfolio managers as contributing to positive environmental or social change and sustainable economic development, including those that are strategically aligned with environmental and social megatrends such as climate change, resource constraints, growing populations, and aging populations.

The Fund typically invests at least 40% of its net assets in securities of issuers or companies that are economically tied to different countries throughout the world, excluding the United States. The Fund expects under normal circumstances to maintain investments in securities of issuers or companies that are economically tied to different countries throughout the world, including the United States. A security is deemed to be economically tied to a country or countries if one or more of the following tests are met: (i) the company is organized in, or its primary business office or principal trading market of its equity is located in, the country; (ii) a majority of the company's revenues are derived from one or more countries; or (iii) a majority of the company's assets are located in one or more countries. The Fund's investments may be in non-U.S. currency or U.S. dollar-denominated.

The Fund generally invests in a core group of 50-70 equity securities, which consist primarily of common stocks, but may also include other types of instruments, such as depositary receipts and warrants. The Fund may also invest in real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). The Fund will invest primarily in larger, well-established companies but may also invest in mid- and small-sized companies. The Fund's uninvested assets may be held in cash or cash equivalents.

In selecting investments, the portfolio managers employ a "bottom-up" approach that focuses on fundamental research. To identify the universe of investible securities for the Fund, the portfolio managers first employ positive selection criteria to identify companies that fall within at least one of ten environmental and social themes. Environmental themes include efficiency, cleaner energy, water management, environmental services, and sustainable transport. Social themes include sustainable property and finance, safety, quality of life, knowledge and technology, and health.

------

Next, the portfolio managers apply broad-based negative screens, which rely on third-party inputs, to seek to avoid securities of issuers that, in the determination of the Adviser, are significantly engaged in or derive more than de minimis revenue from industries, activities, or assets considered by the portfolio managers to have a negative impact on society or the environment. A current list of such industries, activities, or assets, which may evolve over time, follows:

• alcohol;

• animal testing (non-medical);

• armaments;

• chemicals of concern (such as, but not limited to, microbeads, persistent organic pollutants and the manufacture of any other substances banned or restricted under international conventions);

• fossil fuel extraction and refining (such as, but not limited to, the extraction of fossil fuels from oil sands, thermal coal extraction, and arctic drilling and exploration);

• fossil fuel power generation;

• fur;

• gambling;

• genetic engineering;

• intensive farming;

• meat and dairy production and sales (applies to companies involved in the production or processing of meat/poultry or dairy products or eggs, or whose primary activity involves their sale);

• nuclear power;

• pornography;

• tobacco production and sales; and

• United Nations Global Compact and Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development violators.

In selecting investments, the portfolio managers will then consider, among other factors, a company's growth potential, competitive positioning, operational quality, and strategy. The portfolio managers may also consider factors such as a company's historic and projected return on capital, balance sheets, and financial models. The portfolio managers will also consider environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") factors including climate change, deforestation, biodiversity, human rights, company culture, and community relations, board structure and diversity, executive pay, and corporate reporting. The portfolio managers seek to maintain a portfolio of securities that has a carbon footprint and carbon intensity that is at least 20% below the MSCI World Index<sup>sm</sup>. At the portfolio managers' discretion, the Fund will engage with a company's management regarding matters that may include shareholder rights, governance and remuneration, climate change, carbon emissions, pollution, biodiversity, human capital, and diversity and inclusion.

The portfolio managers evaluate and apply ESG and sustainable investment criteria relying on a mix of third-party data and internally-generated analyses based on information that may include web-based research reports from a company or independent sources, as well as corporate engagement. The portfolio managers do not apply these ESG factors in managing the Fund's exposure to cash and cash equivalents.

The Fund will generally consider selling a stock if, in the portfolio managers' opinion, there has been a regulatory, industry, or position-level change that may impair a company's revenue growth. The Fund will also consider selling a stock if, in the portfolio managers' opinion, the company's business model no longer meets the sustainable investment criteria employed in managing the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**Principal investment risks**<br>

The biggest risk is that the Fund's returns will vary, and you could lose money. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks, which tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices. The principal risks associated with investing in the Fund are set forth below.

***Market Risk.*** The value of the Fund's portfolio may decrease due to short-term market movements and over more prolonged market downturns. As a result, the Fund's net asset value may fluctuate and it may be more difficult to value or sell the Fund's holdings. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, economic sector, or the market as a whole. Market risk may be magnified if certain social, political, economic, and other conditions and events (such as terrorism, conflicts, including related sanctions, social unrest, natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics, including COVID-19) adversely interrupt the

3 \| Janus Henderson Global Sustainable Equity Fund

------

global economy and financial markets. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.

***Sustainable Investment Risk.*** The Fund follows a sustainable investment approach by investing in companies that relate to certain sustainable development themes and demonstrate adherence to ESG practices. Accordingly, the Fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting similar business or businesses within the same economic sector, which may make the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in a particular sector than funds that invest more broadly. Additionally, due to its exclusionary criteria, the Fund may not be invested in certain industries or sectors, and therefore may have lower performance than portfolios that do not apply similar criteria. In addition, because sustainable and ESG investing takes into consideration factors beyond traditional financial analysis, the investment opportunities for the Fund may be limited at times. Sustainability and ESG-related information provided by issuers and third parties, upon which the portfolio managers may rely, continues to develop, and may be incomplete, inaccurate, use different methodologies, or be applied differently across companies and industries. Further, the regulatory landscape for sustainable and ESG investing in the United States is still developing and future rules and regulations may require the Fund to modify or alter its investment process. Similarly, government policies incentivizing companies to engage in sustainable and ESG practices may fall out of favor, which could potentially limit the Fund's investment universe. There is also a risk that the companies identified through the investment process may fail to adhere to sustainable and/or ESG-related business practices, which may result in the Fund selling a security when it might otherwise be disadvantageous to do so.

***Industry and Sector Risk.*** Although the Fund does not concentrate its investments in specific industries or industry sectors, it emphasizes certain themes and megatrends. As a result, at times, it may have a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting similar business or businesses within the same economic sector or that benefit from the same megatrend. Companies in the same industry or economic sector or that benefit from the same megatrend may be similarly affected by economic or market events, making the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments than funds that invest more broadly. As the Fund's portfolio becomes more concentrated, the Fund is less able to spread risk and potentially reduce the risk of loss and volatility.

***Currency Risk.*** Currency risk is the risk that changes in the exchange rate between currencies will adversely affect the value (in U.S. dollar terms) of an investment. As long as the Fund holds a foreign security, its value will be affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. When the Fund sells a foreign currency denominated security, its value may be worth less in U.S. dollars even if the security increases in value in its home country. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk, as the value of these securities may also be affected by changes in the issuer's local currency.

***Foreign Exposure Risk.*** The Fund normally has significant exposure to foreign markets as a result of its investments in foreign securities, including investments in emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. In some foreign markets, there may not be protection against failure by other parties to complete transactions. It may not be possible for the Fund to repatriate capital, dividends, interest, and other income from a particular country or governmental entity. In addition, a market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Fund has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Fund's performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Fund's investments in emerging market countries, if any, may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.

***Portfolio Management Risk.*** The Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio and is therefore subject to the risk that the portfolio managers may not be successful in identifying investment opportunities that are aligned with the sustainable investment approach that the Fund employs. The Fund may underperform its benchmark index or other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.

***Small- and Mid-Sized Companies Risk.*** Investments in securities issued by small- and mid-sized companies, which can include smaller, start-up companies offering emerging products or services, may involve greater risks than are customarily associated with larger, more established companies. For example, while small- and mid-sized companies may realize more substantial growth than larger or more established issuers, they may also suffer more significant losses as a result of their narrow product lines, limited operating history, greater exposure to competitive threats, limited financial resources, limited trading markets, and the potential lack of management depth. Securities issued by small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more volatile and somewhat more speculative than securities issued by larger or more established companies and may

4 \| Janus Investment Fund

------

underperform as compared to the securities of larger or more established companies. These holdings are also subject to wider price fluctuations and tend to be less liquid than stocks of larger or more established companies, which could have a significant adverse effect on the Fund's returns, especially as market conditions change.

***Liquidity Risk***. The Fund may invest in securities or instruments that do not trade actively or in large volumes, and may make investments that are less liquid than other investments. Also, the Fund may make investments that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Investments that are illiquid or that trade in lower volumes may be more difficult to value. When there is no willing buyer and investments cannot be readily sold at the desired time or price, the Fund may have to accept a lower price or may not be able to sell the security or instrument at all. Investments in foreign securities, particularly those of issuers located in emerging market countries, tend to have greater exposure to liquidity risk than domestic securities. In unusual market conditions, even normally liquid securities may be affected by a degree of liquidity risk (i.e., if the number and capacity of traditional market participants is reduced). An inability to sell one or more portfolio positions can adversely affect the Fund's value or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities.

***REIT Risk.*** REITs are subject to certain risks inherent in the direct ownership of real estate, including without limitation, a possible lack of mortgage funds and associated interest rate risks, overbuilding, property vacancies, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, losses due to environmental damages and changes in neighborhood values and appeal to purchasers. In addition, a REIT could fail to qualify for tax-free pass-through of its income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or fail to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which could produce adverse economic consequences for the REIT and its investors, including the Fund. Dividends received by the Fund from a REIT generally will not constitute qualified dividend income.

***New/Smaller Sized Fund Risk.*** Because the Fund is relatively new, it has a limited operating history and a small asset base. The Fund's performance may not represent how the Fund is expected to or may perform in the long term if and when it becomes larger. If the Fund were to fail to attract sufficient assets to achieve or maintain economies of scale, performance may be negatively impacted, and any resulting liquidation could create negative transaction costs for the Fund and tax consequences for investors.

***Depositary Receipts Risk.*** Depositary receipts are generally subject to the same sort of risks as direct investments in a foreign country, such as currency risk, market risk, and foreign exposure risk, because their values depend on the performance of a foreign security denominated in its home currency.

***Warrants Risk.*** The price, performance and liquidity of warrants to purchase equity securities are typically linked to the underlying stock. These instruments have many characteristics of convertible securities and, similarly, will react to variations in the general market for equity securities.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**Performance information**<br>

The following information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund's performance has varied over time. Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, Class I Shares, Class N Shares, and Class T Shares of the Fund commenced operations with the Fund's inception. Class R Shares of the Fund commenced operations on January 28, 2021.

• The performance shown for Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class S Shares, Class I Shares, Class N Shares, and Class T Shares is calculated using the fees and expenses of each respective share class, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.

• The performance shown for Class R Shares for periods prior to January 28, 2021, reflects the performance of the Fund's Class I Shares, calculated using the fees and expenses of Class R Shares, without the effect of any fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class R Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to January 28, 2021, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for the periods following the Fund's commencement of Class R Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class R Shares, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers.

The bar chart depicts the change in performance from year to year during the periods indicated. The bar chart figures do not include any applicable sales charges that an investor may pay when they buy or sell Class A Shares or Class C Shares of the Fund. If sales charges were included, the returns would be lower. The table compares the Fund's average annual returns for the periods indicated to a broad-based securities market index. All figures assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions. For certain periods, the Fund's performance reflects the effect of expense waivers. Without the effect of these expense waivers, the performance shown would have been lower.

*The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available at janushenderson.com/performance or by calling 1-877-335-2687*.

(1) If the Fund incurs a loss, which generates a tax benefit, the Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may exceed the Fund's other return figures.

(2) Calculated assuming maximum permitted sales loads.

(3) The one year return is calculated to include the contingent deferred sales charge.

The Fund's primary benchmark index is the MSCI World Index. The index is described below.

• The MSCI World Index is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed market countries in North America, Europe, and the Asia/Pacific Region.

**Investment Objective**<br>

**Janus Henderson Global Sustainable Equity Fund** seeks long-term growth of capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**<br>

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell Shares of the Fund.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES**<br> (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)<br>| **Class D** |
| Management Fees | 0.75% |
| Other Expenses | 0.96% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 1.71% |
| Fee Waiver<sup>(1)</sup> <br>| 0.70% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver<sup>(1)</sup> <br>| 1.01% |

---

(1) The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse operating expenses to the extent that the Fund's total annual fund operating expenses (excluding shareholder servicing fees, such as transfer agency fees (including out-of-pocket costs), brokerage commissions, interest, dividends, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.85% for at least a one-year period commencing on January 27, 2023. This contractual waiver may be terminated or modified only at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. For a period beginning with the Fund's commencement of operations (June 25, 2020) and expiring on the third anniversary of the commencement of operations, or when the Fund's assets meet the first breakpoint in the investment advisory fee schedule (0.75% of the first $2 billion of the average daily closing net asset value of the Fund), whichever occurs first, the Adviser may recover from the Fund fees and expenses previously waived or reimbursed, if the Fund's expense ratio, including recovered expenses, falls below the expense limit or the expense limit in effect at the time the fees and expenses subject to recoupment were waived. There is no guarantee that the Fund's assets will reach this asset level.

**EXAMPLE:**

The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated, reinvest all dividends and distributions, and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of each period. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses are equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver for the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **1 Year** | **3 Years** | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
| Class D Shares | $103 | $470 | $862 | $1961 |

---

**Portfolio Turnover:** The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 33% of the average value of its portfolio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**Principal investment strategies**<br>

The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. The Fund will typically invest in companies whose products and services are considered by the portfolio managers as contributing to positive environmental or social change and sustainable economic development, including those that are strategically aligned with environmental and social megatrends such as climate change, resource constraints, growing populations, and aging populations.

1 \| Janus Henderson Global Sustainable Equity Fund

------

The Fund typically invests at least 40% of its net assets in securities of issuers or companies that are economically tied to different countries throughout the world, excluding the United States. The Fund expects under normal circumstances to maintain investments in securities of issuers or companies that are economically tied to different countries throughout the world, including the United States. A security is deemed to be economically tied to a country or countries if one or more of the following tests are met: (i) the company is organized in, or its primary business office or principal trading market of its equity is located in, the country; (ii) a majority of the company's revenues are derived from one or more countries; or (iii) a majority of the company's assets are located in one or more countries. The Fund's investments may be in non-U.S. currency or U.S. dollar-denominated.

The Fund generally invests in a core group of 50-70 equity securities, which consist primarily of common stocks, but may also include other types of instruments, such as depositary receipts and warrants. The Fund may also invest in real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). The Fund will invest primarily in larger, well-established companies but may also invest in mid- and small-sized companies. The Fund's uninvested assets may be held in cash or cash equivalents.

In selecting investments, the portfolio managers employ a "bottom-up" approach that focuses on fundamental research. To identify the universe of investible securities for the Fund, the portfolio managers first employ positive selection criteria to identify companies that fall within at least one of ten environmental and social themes. Environmental themes include efficiency, cleaner energy, water management, environmental services, and sustainable transport. Social themes include sustainable property and finance, safety, quality of life, knowledge and technology, and health.

Next, the portfolio managers apply broad-based negative screens, which rely on third-party inputs, to seek to avoid securities of issuers that, in the determination of the Adviser, are significantly engaged in or derive more than de minimis revenue from industries, activities, or assets considered by the portfolio managers to have a negative impact on society or the environment. A current list of such industries, activities, or assets, which may evolve over time, follows:

• alcohol;

• animal testing (non-medical);

• armaments;

• chemicals of concern (such as, but not limited to, microbeads, persistent organic pollutants and the manufacture of any other substances banned or restricted under international conventions);

• fossil fuel extraction and refining (such as, but not limited to, the extraction of fossil fuels from oil sands, thermal coal extraction, and arctic drilling and exploration);

• fossil fuel power generation;

• fur;

• gambling;

• genetic engineering;

• intensive farming;

• meat and dairy production and sales (applies to companies involved in the production or processing of meat/poultry or dairy products or eggs, or whose primary activity involves their sale);

• nuclear power;

• pornography;

• tobacco production and sales; and

• United Nations Global Compact and Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development violators.

In selecting investments, the portfolio managers will then consider, among other factors, a company's growth potential, competitive positioning, operational quality, and strategy. The portfolio managers may also consider factors such as a company's historic and projected return on capital, balance sheets, and financial models. The portfolio managers will also consider environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") factors including climate change, deforestation, biodiversity, human rights, company culture, and community relations, board structure and diversity, executive pay, and corporate reporting. The portfolio managers seek to maintain a portfolio of securities that has a carbon footprint and carbon intensity that is at least 20% below the MSCI World Index<sup>sm</sup>. At the portfolio managers' discretion, the Fund will engage with a company's management regarding matters that may include shareholder rights, governance and remuneration, climate change, carbon emissions, pollution, biodiversity, human capital, and diversity and inclusion.

The portfolio managers evaluate and apply ESG and sustainable investment criteria relying on a mix of third-party data and internally-generated analyses based on information that may include web-based research reports from a company or

2 \| Janus Investment Fund

------

independent sources, as well as corporate engagement. The portfolio managers do not apply these ESG factors in managing the Fund's exposure to cash and cash equivalents.

The Fund will generally consider selling a stock if, in the portfolio managers' opinion, there has been a regulatory, industry, or position-level change that may impair a company's revenue growth. The Fund will also consider selling a stock if, in the portfolio managers' opinion, the company's business model no longer meets the sustainable investment criteria employed in managing the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**Principal investment risks**<br>

The biggest risk is that the Fund's returns will vary, and you could lose money. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks, which tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices. The principal risks associated with investing in the Fund are set forth below.

***Market Risk.*** The value of the Fund's portfolio may decrease due to short-term market movements and over more prolonged market downturns. As a result, the Fund's net asset value may fluctuate and it may be more difficult to value or sell the Fund's holdings. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, economic sector, or the market as a whole. Market risk may be magnified if certain social, political, economic, and other conditions and events (such as terrorism, conflicts, including related sanctions, social unrest, natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics, including COVID-19) adversely interrupt the global economy and financial markets. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.

***Sustainable Investment Risk.*** The Fund follows a sustainable investment approach by investing in companies that relate to certain sustainable development themes and demonstrate adherence to ESG practices. Accordingly, the Fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting similar business or businesses within the same economic sector, which may make the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in a particular sector than funds that invest more broadly. Additionally, due to its exclusionary criteria, the Fund may not be invested in certain industries or sectors, and therefore may have lower performance than portfolios that do not apply similar criteria. In addition, because sustainable and ESG investing takes into consideration factors beyond traditional financial analysis, the investment opportunities for the Fund may be limited at times. Sustainability and ESG-related information provided by issuers and third parties, upon which the portfolio managers may rely, continues to develop, and may be incomplete, inaccurate, use different methodologies, or be applied differently across companies and industries. Further, the regulatory landscape for sustainable and ESG investing in the United States is still developing and future rules and regulations may require the Fund to modify or alter its investment process. Similarly, government policies incentivizing companies to engage in sustainable and ESG practices may fall out of favor, which could potentially limit the Fund's investment universe. There is also a risk that the companies identified through the investment process may fail to adhere to sustainable and/or ESG-related business practices, which may result in the Fund selling a security when it might otherwise be disadvantageous to do so.

***Industry and Sector Risk.*** Although the Fund does not concentrate its investments in specific industries or industry sectors, it emphasizes certain themes and megatrends. As a result, at times, it may have a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting similar business or businesses within the same economic sector or that benefit from the same megatrend. Companies in the same industry or economic sector or that benefit from the same megatrend may be similarly affected by economic or market events, making the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments than funds that invest more broadly. As the Fund's portfolio becomes more concentrated, the Fund is less able to spread risk and potentially reduce the risk of loss and volatility.

***Currency Risk.*** Currency risk is the risk that changes in the exchange rate between currencies will adversely affect the value (in U.S. dollar terms) of an investment. As long as the Fund holds a foreign security, its value will be affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. When the Fund sells a foreign currency denominated security, its value may be worth less in U.S. dollars even if the security increases in value in its home country. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk, as the value of these securities may also be affected by changes in the issuer's local currency.

***Foreign Exposure Risk.*** The Fund normally has significant exposure to foreign markets as a result of its investments in foreign securities, including investments in emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. In some foreign markets, there may not be protection against failure by other parties to complete

3 \| Janus Henderson Global Sustainable Equity Fund

------

transactions. It may not be possible for the Fund to repatriate capital, dividends, interest, and other income from a particular country or governmental entity. In addition, a market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Fund has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Fund's performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Fund's investments in emerging market countries, if any, may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.

***Portfolio Management Risk.*** The Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio and is therefore subject to the risk that the portfolio managers may not be successful in identifying investment opportunities that are aligned with the sustainable investment approach that the Fund employs. The Fund may underperform its benchmark index or other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.

***Small- and Mid-Sized Companies Risk.*** Investments in securities issued by small- and mid-sized companies, which can include smaller, start-up companies offering emerging products or services, may involve greater risks than are customarily associated with larger, more established companies. For example, while small- and mid-sized companies may realize more substantial growth than larger or more established issuers, they may also suffer more significant losses as a result of their narrow product lines, limited operating history, greater exposure to competitive threats, limited financial resources, limited trading markets, and the potential lack of management depth. Securities issued by small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more volatile and somewhat more speculative than securities issued by larger or more established companies and may underperform as compared to the securities of larger or more established companies. These holdings are also subject to wider price fluctuations and tend to be less liquid than stocks of larger or more established companies, which could have a significant adverse effect on the Fund's returns, especially as market conditions change.

***Liquidity Risk***. The Fund may invest in securities or instruments that do not trade actively or in large volumes, and may make investments that are less liquid than other investments. Also, the Fund may make investments that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Investments that are illiquid or that trade in lower volumes may be more difficult to value. When there is no willing buyer and investments cannot be readily sold at the desired time or price, the Fund may have to accept a lower price or may not be able to sell the security or instrument at all. Investments in foreign securities, particularly those of issuers located in emerging market countries, tend to have greater exposure to liquidity risk than domestic securities. In unusual market conditions, even normally liquid securities may be affected by a degree of liquidity risk (i.e., if the number and capacity of traditional market participants is reduced). An inability to sell one or more portfolio positions can adversely affect the Fund's value or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities.

***REIT Risk.*** REITs are subject to certain risks inherent in the direct ownership of real estate, including without limitation, a possible lack of mortgage funds and associated interest rate risks, overbuilding, property vacancies, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, losses due to environmental damages and changes in neighborhood values and appeal to purchasers. In addition, a REIT could fail to qualify for tax-free pass-through of its income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or fail to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which could produce adverse economic consequences for the REIT and its investors, including the Fund. Dividends received by the Fund from a REIT generally will not constitute qualified dividend income.

***New/Smaller Sized Fund Risk.*** Because the Fund is relatively new, it has a limited operating history and a small asset base. The Fund's performance may not represent how the Fund is expected to or may perform in the long term if and when it becomes larger. If the Fund were to fail to attract sufficient assets to achieve or maintain economies of scale, performance may be negatively impacted, and any resulting liquidation could create negative transaction costs for the Fund and tax consequences for investors.

***Depositary Receipts Risk.*** Depositary receipts are generally subject to the same sort of risks as direct investments in a foreign country, such as currency risk, market risk, and foreign exposure risk, because their values depend on the performance of a foreign security denominated in its home currency.

***Warrants Risk.*** The price, performance and liquidity of warrants to purchase equity securities are typically linked to the underlying stock. These instruments have many characteristics of convertible securities and, similarly, will react to variations in the general market for equity securities.

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