INTECH U.S. Core Fund



Ticker:	JIRMX	Class D Shares*


*	Class D Shares are closed to certain new investors.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

INTECH U.S. Core Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND

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


ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)							Class D

Management Fees (may adjust up or down)							0.54%
Other Expenses							0.30%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses							0.84%

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 remain the same. 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	$	86	$	268	$	466	$	1,037

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 73% of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. common stocks from the universe of the S&P 500 ^® Index, utilizing INTECH’s mathematical investment process. The S&P 500 ^® Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks that is generally representative of the performance of larger companies in the United States.

The Fund pursues its investment objective by applying a mathematical investment process to construct an investment portfolio from the universe of common stocks within its named benchmark index. The goal of this process is to build a portfolio of stocks in a more efficient combination than the named benchmark index. The process seeks to capitalize on the natural volatility of the market by searching for stocks within the index that have high relative volatility (providing the potential for excess returns) but that essentially move in opposite directions or have low correlation to each other (providing the potential for lower relative risk). By constructing the portfolio in this manner and periodically rebalancing the portfolio to maintain potentially more efficient weightings, INTECH’s mathematical investment process seeks to create a portfolio that, over time, produces returns in excess of its named benchmark index with risks similar to that of the benchmark index. The rebalancing techniques used by INTECH may result in a higher portfolio turnover compared to a “buy and hold” fund strategy.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

The biggest risk is that the Fund’s returns will vary, and you could lose money. The Fund is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.

Market Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may decrease if the value of an individual company or security, or multiple companies or securities, in the portfolio decreases. Further, regardless of how well individual companies or securities perform, the value of the Fund’s portfolio could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. 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.

Investment Process Risk. The proprietary mathematical investment process used by INTECH may not achieve the desired results. On an occasional basis, INTECH considers changes to its mathematical investment process. These changes may result in changes to the portfolio, might not provide the intended results, and may adversely impact the Fund’s performance.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher costs, which may have a negative effect on the Fund’s performance. In addition, higher portfolio turnover may result in the acceleration of capital gains and the recognition of greater levels of short-term capital gains, which are taxed at ordinary federal income tax rates when distributed to shareholders.

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

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The following information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund’s performance has varied over time. Class D Shares of the Fund commenced operations on February 16, 2010, as a result of the restructuring of Class J Shares, the predecessor share class. The performance shown for Class D Shares for periods prior to February 16, 2010, reflects the performance of the Fund’s former Class J Shares, calculated using the fees and expenses in effect during the periods shown, net of any applicable fee and expense limitations or waivers. If Class D Shares of the Fund had been available during periods prior to February 16, 2010, the performance shown may have been different. The performance shown for periods following the Fund’s commencement of Class D Shares reflects the fees and expenses of Class D 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 table compares the Fund’s average annual returns for the periods indicated to a broad-based securities market index. The index is not actively managed and is not available for direct investment. All figures assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions. For certain periods, the 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 janus.com/allfunds or by calling 1-800-525-3713.

(reflects no deduction for expenses, fees, or taxes)


(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.

After-tax returns are calculated using distributions for the Fund’s Class D Shares for the periods following February 16, 2010; and for the Fund’s Class J Shares, the predecessor share class, for the periods prior to February 16, 2010. If Class D Shares of the Fund had been available during these earlier periods, distributions may have been different and thus, after-tax returns may have been different from those shown. After-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on your individual tax situation and may differ from those shown in the preceding table. The after-tax return information shown above does not apply to Fund shares held through a tax-deferred account, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA.
