II.  The following is added to the section  "Common  Investment  Techniques"  on
     page 4 of the Prospectus:

     Joint Accounts.

     The Funds have requested  exemptive relief from the SEC to permit the Funds
     and other funds  advised by Janus Capital to invest in certain money market
     instruments  through a joint account.  Accordingly,  the Funds may purchase
     such instruments through a joint account if such relief is granted.

III. The section entitled  "Distribution  and Taxes" on page 6 of the Prospectus
     is amended as follows:  Orders for purchase accompanied by a check or other
     negotiable  bank draft will be accepted and  effected as of 4:00 p.m.  (New
     York  time) on the day of  receipt  and such  Shares  will  begin to accrue
     dividends on the first business day following receipt of the order.

IV.  The  section  entitled  "Miscellaneous   Information"  on  page  7  of  the
     Prospectus  is  amended a  follows:  Effective  April 14,  1995,  the Funds
     commenced  offering a second class of shares.  Because the expenses of each
     class differ,  the performance of each class is expected to differ.  If you
     would  like more  information,  please  call  Janus  Investor  Services  at
     1-800-525-3713.

V.   Changes to the Shareholder  Manual:  
     The term "Processing  Organization" on page 12 of the Prospectus is defined
     to include an  organization  that  provides  recordkeeping  and  consulting
     services to 401(k) plans or other qualified plans.
