What a difference a few months makes.
In my 30 years as a student and observer of the stock market, I thought I'd seen
it all. That is, until this year - one that will no doubt go down in history as
among the most volatile ever.
The fiscal year started off dramatically, with a booming U.S. economy creating a
strong tailwind for stocks across the board. Despite higher interest rates,
consumers flush from the "wealth effect" created by a rising market, abundant
jobs and low inflation showed no inclination to moderate their spending habits.
Indeed, as proof of its formidable strength, in March the ten-year economic
expansion broke all records to become the longest ever.
A short month later, however, the "irrational exuberance" which had pushed the
market to new heights proved to be too much of a good thing. While their
confidence in the economy remained at all-time highs, investors' confidence in
the market waned as they began to question the outsized valuations placed on
some companies, particularly in the technology, media and telecommunication
sectors. Uncertainty over the direction of interest rates and a weakening Euro
added fuel to the fire, intensifying the volatility as a tug-of-war ensued
between so-called old economy consumer cyclical stocks and new economy
technology-driven stocks.
By summer, convincing signs that a string of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes
was starting to cool the economy appeared. But that positive news did little to
erase emerging fears about rising oil prices and disappointing corporate
earnings. As a result, the market continued its sharp slide that began in April.
While this relentless volatility has certainly been unsettling, it most likely
will continue until unreasonable valuations have been deflated in all niches of
the market. Clearly, much progress has been made toward that end.
Given these challenging conditions, not all of our equity funds posted
top-quartile returns, which is and always has been our goal. Still, I'm very
pleased with the unparalleled quality of research that is the very foundation of
our rigorous stock-picking approach. While we anticipate more bumpy times ahead
that could pressure short-term performance, over the long haul I'm confident
this approach will enable us to uncover companies that can perform well no
matter what the market has in store.
In closing, I want to thank you again for your trust and confidence in Janus.

portfolio manager
I'm pleased to report that for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, Janus
Fund gained 15.60%, beating the 6.08% return of its benchmark, the S&P 500
Index.(1)
It's often been said that what financial markets most dislike is uncertainty.
Without a doubt, this year proved that saying true. To be sure, uncertainty over
the direction of interest rates and, later, slowing corporate earnings and
higher oil prices prompted the markets to serve up some of the most extreme
volatility in recent memory. Fortunately, our rigorous, company-by-company
investment approach guided our decision-making and produced positive results for
the period. As always, driving our performance were first-rate companies that
know what they do best - and then focus on doing it better than anyone else.
Typically, these kinds of businesses have one very important thing in common:
they are led by exceptional management teams committed to growing their top
lines and improving returns on capital.
Maxim Integrated Products and Linear Technology certainly fall into that
category. Maxim, which manufactures more than 1,500 types of linear and
mixed-signal integrated circuits, posted impressive results on the strength of
the diversity of its products that run everything from robotics to personal
computers to medical equipment to cellular phones. A leading maker of
high-performance linear integrated circuits, Linear also pushed ahead as orders
for its chips used in cellular phones, radar systems, satellites and computers
remained robust. With worldwide semiconductor sales hitting all-time highs and
new applications for their products being introduced every day, Maxim and Linear
have emerged as the leading suppliers of the specialized chipsets that help
power our digital world.
Diversity of products is also behind Enron's phenomenal success. True, Enron
markets and transports power and natural gas, but it would be a mistake to
regard it as merely a utility company. While strong commodity prices for oil and
gas, as well as deregulating overseas markets, have contributed to its rising
earnings growth rate, Enron today is forging new frontiers into broadband
telecommunications. Leveraging its expertise as the world's largest energy
trader, Enron plans to buy and sell bandwidth as it is needed, just as in
wholesale oil and gas markets. Ultimately, Enron's foray into broadband
telecommunications could eclipse its core energy business.
Our conviction in Bank of New York has certainly been rewarded over the nine
years we have owned the stock. Since we first invested, Bank of New York has
steadily increased its market share in U.S. dollar payment services, a core
business for the bank. Moreover, a continuing emphasis on fee-based services
such as trading and back-office processing helped Bank of New York gain ground
during the period, even as many financial companies retreated amid higher
interest rates.
The seemingly limitless growth of the Web drove the exceptional performance of
many of our Internet-related holdings, among them EMC Corp., Sun Microsystems
and VeriSign. Leading data-storage provider EMC continued to dominate the
competition as it announced plans to introduce new products to support
network-attached storage and small- to mid-sized corporate networks. Sun, one of
the top makers of Web servers, also surged on rising sales

of its high-end computer and data-storage equipment for managing e-commerce and
accessing Web pages. Internet-security software maker VeriSign benefited as
well, as it experienced strong demand for its Web site solutions, enabling
businesses to conduct secure online communications and commerce.
On the downside, concerns that a cooling economy would lead to a pullback in
advertising spending hindered our positions in radio behemoth Clear Channel
Communications and cable company Comcast Corp. Furthermore, like other big
cable-television operators, Comcast has spent billions to upgrade its cable
lines in order to offer high-speed Internet access and digital cable services to
customers, which also sapped its results. Nevertheless, with advertising sales
healthy and expenditures for cable equipment enhancements tapering off, our
confidence in both companies remains unshaken. Convinced these setbacks were
simply temporary, we viewed this short-term retreat as an attractive buying
opportunity and added to our Clear Channel and Comcast holdings.
Going forward, given the uncertainties surrounding higher energy costs and
reduced corporate earnings, it's more important than ever to know our companies
inside and out. That means we will continue to rely on our research-intensive,
hands-on stock-picking approach. Over the years, experience has shown us that
this strategy is key to uncovering compelling investments able to withstand
whatever the market has in store.
Thank you for your investment in Janus Fund.

The figures shown reflect periods of favorable market conditions, and as a
result equity funds have experienced exceptional performance including a
significant impact from technology stocks. However, current performance may be
lower due to market volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results and investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total
return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains.
The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities in the Index.
The Index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio
management or trading.

Karen L. Reidy
portfolio manager
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, Janus Balanced Fund's 8.93% gain
outpaced the performance of its benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index, which returned
6.08% and the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index which returned
7.13%.(1)
My inauguration as portfolio manager of Janus Balanced Fund can best be
described as "baptism by fire" as a market characterized by unprecedented
volatility challenged us for most of the year. Rather than being intimidated by
this uncertainty, we instead stuck to our knitting, adhering to our
research-driven stock-picking approach to uncover companies led by management
teams committed to consistent earnings growth and improving returns on capital.
To limit yield curve exposure, we slightly lengthened the duration of our
Treasury securities. We also reallocated our fixed-income assets to reflect a
more even blend of Government Agency, Treasury and corporate bonds and decreased
our exposure to high-yield investments.
Turning to a discussion of our holdings, General Electric supported our
performance. Under the inspired leadership of CEO Jack Welch, GE has transformed
itself from an established industrial business into a forward-thinking,
fast-growing corporation. To be sure, as it enthusiastically embraces Web
technology, the resulting productivity gains have played a role in helping GE
accelerate its rate of earnings-per-share growth into the high teens. Recently,
GE agreed to buy Honeywell International, combining the companies' aerospace,
power, plastics and industrial systems businesses in a move expected to further
boost cost savings and earnings per share. What's more, GE's Power-Systems
business unit is emerging as a primary growth driver as the division sells more
gas-powered turbines to meet surging energy demands throughout the world.
EMC Corp. and Cisco Systems also posted stellar results. The top maker of
data-storage equipment, EMC's phenomenal success has paralleled the growth of
the Internet. Indeed, our rigorous analysis has convinced us that growth in the
storage industry can be sustained at close to 50% annually for the next five
years. Recently, EMC further solidified its dominant position by announcing
plans to introduce products to support both network-attached storage and small-
and mid-sized corporate networks. Cisco, the leading Internet equipment
manufacturer, is also benefiting from the explosion in Web traffic. Powering
Cisco's revenue gains were robust sales of switches, routers and fiber-optic
network gear to telecommunications companies as well as increased spending by
large corporations to upgrade their computer networks.
Outside technology, financial services giant Citigroup was another standout.
Formed from the 1998 merger between Citicorp and Travelers Group, Citigroup has
distinguished itself by making several strategic acquisitions over the years.
One we are particularly excited about is Citigroup's recently announced purchase
of consumer finance firm Associates First Capital. While the advantages of scale
and cost savings are substantial, we believe the greatest opportunity for the
combined entity lies in Japan, where both Citigroup and Associates enjoy a
strong foothold and meaningful brand presence.
Automatic Data Processing (ADP), the largest payroll and tax filing processor in
the world, was also a winner. Helping drive ADP's earnings was its Brokerage
Services Group (BSG), considered the premier provider of transaction services to
the financial industry. Behind the business unit's rapid growth is a rising
number of individual investors, whose increasing ownership of stocks, bond and
mutual

funds has produced huge amounts of information that must be aggregated and
accounted for. The success of ADP's BSG recently helped ADP achieve double-digit
earnings growth for the 39th consecutive year.
Hindering results was Wal-Mart, the world's largest discount retailer. While its
overseas stores have been a drag on the company's return on capital, Wal-Mart's
push into the grocery business has started to take share from the competition.
Therefore, we're willing to ride out some pain, because we view Wal-Mart as one
of the best-run retailers in the industry. Elsewhere, heavy expenditures to
upgrade its cable systems to digital technology, concerns that the economic
slowdown would lead to cutbacks in advertising spending, and increased
competition all converged to push Comcast lower. Nevertheless, the cable
operator is executing on all fronts, so we elected to trim our position as we
keep a close eye on the situation.
With earnings misses and higher energy prices keeping the markets jittery, we
believe it's more important than ever to stay focused on the fundamentals,
employing our in-depth, hands-on investment strategy to seek out resilient
businesses able to perform in any economic environment. In fact, we are taking
it to the next level by making more company visits, carrying out more
independent checks and more thoroughly scrutinizing our company financial models
- in short, doing whatever it takes to find opportunities worthy of your
investment.
Thank you for your confidence in Janus Balanced Fund.

The figures shown reflect periods of favorable market conditions, and as a
result equity funds have experienced exceptional performance including a
significant impact from technology stocks. However, current performance may be
lower due to market volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results and investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total
return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains.
The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities in the Index.
The Index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio
management or trading.

10 Janus Equity Funds / October 31, 2000
<PAGE>
Janus | Enterprise Fund
[PHOTO]
James Goff
portfolio manager
Janus Enterprise Fund returned 22.29% during the fiscal year ended October 31,
2000, compared with the 31.65% earned by our benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400
Index.(1)
Volatility maintained a tight grip on markets for virtually the entire period.
Interest rate uncertainty weighed heavily on the minds of investors during the
first six months of the year as strength in the U.S. economy kept the Federal
Reserve - which raised short-term rates on four separate occasions - on guard
against inflation. By March, the focus had shifted when it became clear that the
valuations of several of the technology sector's most visible companies had
become overextended. This sent the stocks of the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite
Index into a tailspin from which many have yet to recover. The wave of selling
was so powerful that the median Nasdaq stock was more than 50% off of its
52-week high before the correction finally stalled in late April.
We seek to build a fund that is substantially different from our index by
focusing on fast-growing companies in some of the market's most dynamic areas,
including technology, media, healthcare and telecommunications. For this reason,
our returns are often quite different than those of our benchmark. In fact, this
strategy and our careful adherence to it enabled us to far outpace the S&P
MidCap 400 Index during the first six months of the year. However, many of the
stocks that worked well in the latter half of the year have been in industries
such as utilities, financial services and energy. While we generally try to
avoid these sectors, they are very well-represented in our benchmark - a fact
that is primarily responsible for the difference between the Fund's 12-month
performance and that of its benchmark.
Turning to the Fund, one area that worked well for us was the Internet. Our
holdings in companies such as Web-hosting leader Exodus Communications and
Internet security standout VeriSign defied an extremely difficult environment
for technology stocks to finish the year dramatically higher. We have always
chosen our Web-related investments carefully, adding only those companies with
strong franchises, compelling business models and clearly defined prospects for
growth and profitability. There is little doubt that both Exodus and VeriSign
possess each of these traits, a fact that almost certainly allowed them to
sidestep much of the volatility that sent other technology stocks reeling.
Several of our telecommunications positions were also able to overcome a
difficult environment to post gains. While several holdings gave ground during
the last half of the period, companies like McLeod USA and Powertel resisted the
downdraft to trade higher. Meanwhile, another telecom standout was cellular
tower operator Crown Castle, a company that possesses a unique and highly
profitable business model that allows us to participate in the burgeoning growth
in the cellular business.
Disappointments included our media holdings, which lost ground when it became
apparent that growth in advertising spending - which has continued at a

rapid pace for several years - was decelerating. Radio operators such as Clear
Channel Communications and Hispanic Broadcasting were hit particularly hard as
the pool of funds available to Internet companies, which had been big buyers of
radio time when things were good, dried up. In addition, marketers scrambling to
take advantage of the Summer Olympics temporarily redirected advertising dollars
away from radio and toward television, a fact that placed further pressure on
our radio positions.
Overall, I am somewhat disappointed with our results, particularly during the
latter half of the period. Long-term performance remains strong, however, and
there is some comfort in the realization that volatility is the price of
admission to the world of potential high-growth, high-return investing in which
we participate. With that in mind, we remain committed to our aggressive,
high-growth style despite the short-term volatility that pressured performance
during the last half of the year. While I rarely have a market outlook, I am
excited about the high growth and low valuations in the Fund and where that
could take us from here.
Benjamin Graham, perhaps the most famous practitioner of the
fundamentally-based, company-by-company approach we follow, once said that "In
the short-term, the market is a voting machine, and in the long-term, it's a
weighing machine." Ultimately, we believe the strong earnings growth each of our
holdings is capable of delivering will tip the scales in our favor.
Thank you for your continued confidence and investment in Janus Enterprise Fund.

The figures shown reflect periods of favorable market conditions, and as a
result equity funds have experienced exceptional performance including a
significant impact from technology stocks. However, current performance may be
lower due to market volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results and investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total
return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains.
The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities in the Index.
The Index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio
management or trading.

Janus Equity Funds / October 31, 2000 13

Janus | Equity Income Fund
[PHOTO]
Karen L. Reidy
portfolio manager
I'm pleased to report that Janus Equity Income Fund gained 10.65% for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 2000, topping the 6.08% return of its benchmark, the S&P
500 Index.(1)
The intense volatility that buffeted financial markets for most of the year put
our stock-picking skills - and me in my first year as the Fund's portfolio
manager - to the test. In the end, our rigorous investment approach, which
emphasizes businesses with outstanding management teams committed to growing
their top lines and improving returns on capital, helped us uncover some
exciting opportunities able to withstand the market's ups and downs.
One of our most resilient performers was EMC Corp. The top maker of corporate
data-storage systems, EMC has grown hand in hand with the Internet, leading us
to revise our industry growth expectations upwards to close to 50% annually for
the next five years. To further secure its leadership standing, EMC plans to
introduce network-attached storage products in the coming months. What's more,
the company's recent acquisition of Data General will allow EMC to better
compete in the small to mid-sized systems market.
Also boosting results was El Paso Energy Corporation, the leader in gathering,
transporting, processing and marketing natural gas. Not only have higher energy
prices benefited the company, but El Paso has also made some strategic
acquisitions that will cement its dominant position in the U.S. and expand its
presence overseas. The corporation's proposed merger with Coastal Corporation,
for instance, could further enhance El Paso's earnings power as it ventures into
new geographic and commodity markets.
Citigroup also fired on all cylinders. A global financial services powerhouse,
Citigroup was formed from the 1998 merger between Citicorp and Travelers Group.
Over the years, Citigroup has broadened its influence by making several key
acquisitions, such as the recently announced merger with Associates First
Capital, the biggest U.S. consumer finance firm. The alliance will allow
Citigroup to expand its credit card platform as well as grow its business
overseas. Moreover, the deal will stabilize Citigroup's revenues by balancing
the volatility of its investment banking and trading with Associate's steadier
profit sources.
Media giant Viacom was another winner. Already the owner of MTV, VH1,
Nickelodeon, Paramount Pictures and Blockbuster Video, to name a few, Viacom
successfully wrapped up its purchase of CBS earlier this year. Adding the
television network to its growing stable of branded properties has given Viacom
access to a ready-made audience for its vast media library - and created the
largest platform for advertising across the media landscape. Despite a cooling
economy, ad sales generated by its cable channels, radio stations and billboards
have soared this year, driving Viacom's revenues consistently higher.
Our position in Enron, the world's largest energy trader, was also a standout.
The company's core wholesale commodities and electricity segment continued to
show robust growth as the rapid expansion and deregulation of energy markets
worldwide supported strong earnings. We are even more enthusiastic, however,
about Enron's efforts to become the dominant player in energy outsourcing and
broadband trading. To be sure, we believe the value of Enron's broadband assets
could ultimately exceed that of its market-making operations in natural gas and
electricity.

Working against us was Wal-Mart. The world's largest discount retailer struggled
as a pullback in consumer spending put downward pressure on retailing shares
across the board. Still, Wal-Mart's grocery stores continue to take business
from the competition. Consequently, we have maintained our holding in Wal-Mart,
which we view as one of the best-run retailers in the industry. AT&T Liberty
Media also fell short. Essentially a mutual fund of fast-growing cable, music
and online properties, Liberty Media owns a significant stake in some of the
world's most successful media entities, including News Corp., Time Warner, QVC
and USA Networks. But some of those investments have been hit, dragging down the
company's stock. Absent a change in Liberty Media's excellent management team
and disciplined execution, however, we have elected to maintain our position as
we monitor the situation closely.
Going forward, even though the string of interest rate increases appears to have
come to an end, we expect the market to remain choppy as investors continue to
worry about higher energy costs and lower corporate earnings. Given this
uncertainty, we will stick to our knitting - employing our research-driven,
hands-on investment strategy that has proven itself time and again.
Thank you for your confidence in Janus Equity Income Fund.
Performance Overview
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
A graphic comparison of the change in value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment
in Janus Equity Income Fund and the S&P 500 Index. Janus Equity Income Fund is
represented by a shaded area of green. The S&P 500 Index is represented by a
solid black line. The "y" axis reflects the value of the investment. The "x"
axis reflects the computation periods from inception, June 28, 1996, through
October 31, 2000. The upper right quadrant reflects the ending value of the
hypothetical investment in Janus Equity Income Fund ($28,448) as compared to the
S&P 500 Index ($22,760).

The figures shown reflect periods of favorable market conditions, and as a
result equity funds have experienced exceptional performance including a
significant impact from technology stocks. However, current performance may be
lower due to market volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results and investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total
return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains.
The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities in the Index.
The Index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio
management or trading.

Janus | Global Life Sciences Fund (closed to new investors)

Thomas Malley
portfolio manager
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, Janus Global Life Sciences Fund
gained 87.22%, handily beating its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned
6.08%.(1)
During the first four months of the period, many high-growth stocks continued
their upward march. Biotechnology companies led the rally, propelled by their
sudden popularity among speculators who hoped to turn a quick profit. However,
these stocks plummeted in early March when President Clinton suggested that the
volumes of data generated by these companies in their efforts to map the human
genome should be freely available to the public. While we were unable to
completely avoid the downturn, many of our holdings quickly recovered from the
biotech sell-off. Throughout the second half of the year, however, biotech and
other fast-growing segments of the market remained volatile. In response, we
actively adjusted the portfolio, increasing our exposure to other, more stable
areas of the life sciences universe such as pharmaceutical and medical device
companies.
Top performers included pharmaceutical companies Alza Corp., Teva
Pharmaceuticals and Andrx Group. Alza gained on the introduction of Concerta, a
once-daily dosage medication for attention deficit disorder and attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder, two rapidly growing markets. In addition, Alza's
incontinence drug Ditropan proved a powerful growth driver due to solid market
share and year-over-year sales gains. Meanwhile, Teva and Andrx gained on the
core strength of their generic drugs.
Schering-Plough, on the other hand, did not perform well for us. Its stock was
pressured by patent-expiration concerns surrounding its leading allergy
medication Claritin. In our view, management continues to execute on its
strategy, while boosting its already strong research and development efforts.
Consequently we maintained our position in the company.
We were rewarded by our positions in several leading medical device
manufacturers, particularly PE Corp.-PE Biosystems Group, PerkinElmer and
Medtronic. PE Corp and PerkinElmer traded higher due to growth in genomics
research. Products developed by both companies have been instrumental in this
type of research, which includes the study of genes and proteins. Meanwhile, the
FDA's approval of new pacemakers, implantable cardiac defibrillators and
coronary stents developed by Medtronic for the treatment of cardiovascular
disease helped it maintain a dominant position in the medical technology arena.
MedImmune also contributed positively to our results. This biotechnology company
uses advances in immunology and other biological sciences to develop treatments
for infectious diseases, immune regulation and oncology. Its lead drug is
Synagis, a treatment for a common respiratory disease in children. Sales of
Synagis grew 30% during MedImmune's most recently completed quarter, while net
income nearly doubled from the previous year.
Disappointments included Emisphere, a biopharmaceutical company working to
overcome the barriers to effective drug delivery. We were initially attracted to
Emisphere's promising pipeline, which includes ingestible formulations of
proteins that are not currently deliverable by oral means. However, the market's
impatience with the company's seemingly slow rate of progress caused its stock
to decline.

Another disappointment was Allscripts, a company we have owned since its IPO
last year. Allscripts is focused on wireless solutions that enable physicians to
speed up the process of prescribing drugs. Unfortunately, they have been slow to
penetrate the market, and the stock declined during the period. However, we
believe there is a great deal of untapped potential in this area of the market
and maintained our position.
In conclusion, investors seem poised for a much softer stock market performance
in the coming year, lowering their expectations from recent years. While it
certainly appears as if market volatility will continue, we believe healthcare
will remain an area of strength. Within this broad universe of stocks, we will
maintain our focus on companies that have specific improvements in their
business relative to market expectations, relying on our own stringent financial
analysis and company-by-company research to uncover them.
Thank you for your continued confidence and investment in Janus Global Life
Sciences Fund.

The figures shown reflect periods of favorable market conditions, and as a
result equity funds have experienced exceptional performance including a
significant impact from technology stocks. However, current performance may be
lower due to market volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results and investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total
return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains.
The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities in the Index.
The Index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio
management or trading.
This Fund has been significantly impacted by investing in initial public
offerings (IPOs) during a period favorable for these stocks. The Fund may not
experience similar performance in the future.
This Fund concentrates in certain industry groups, which may react similarly to
market development. As a result, this fund may experience greater price
volatility. Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency
fluctuations and political uncertainty.

Janus | Global Technology Fund (closed to new investors)

Mike Lu
portfolio manager
Janus Global Technology Fund returned 31.99% for the fiscal year ended October
31, 2000, outperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which gained 6.08%.(1)
Ongoing volatility in the technology universe made for a challenging year as
investor sentiment appeared to shift daily - oftentimes from spurious rumors.
This was particularly true in the second half of the period. For example, a June
rebound quickly fizzled in July as a result of profit-taking in the technology
sector. In August expectations began to build that the economy was settling into
a "soft landing," signaling a potential end to the Fed's year-long tightening
cycle. Tech stocks briefly rallied on this positive expectation, only to
surrender those gains in September as market psychology shifted yet again.
Despite the roller coaster nature of technology stocks, we continued to focus
our fundamental research efforts on unearthing leading and emerging franchises
in the technology infrastructure space - including data communications, optical
networking and wireless communications, as well as key technology "enablers"
such as software, component and equipment vendors. Furthermore, we used market
downturns to add to oversold positions whose future growth prospects still
command our conviction and confidence.
Standouts during this period included long-term holding i2 Technologies, which
returned 330% for the period. i2 is an enabler of business-to-business
e-commerce solutions. Its robust back-end supply chain management system has
enabled it to become an essential building block for intelligent public/ private
trade exchanges, allowing its customers to realize the cost efficiencies of a
networked economy.
Sun Microsystems also gained substantially. Sun, which designs and markets
network servers, workstations, processors and middleware, continued to defy a
hostile market environment. For example, although we anticipated a strong
rollout of its new line of UltraSparc III workstations and servers, demand
characteristics for the previous generation remained surprisingly robust. In
fact, sales of the UltraSparc II actually accelerated, despite the fact that new
product cycles generally trigger a falloff in demand for existing products. We
see this as a testament to the power of the Sun Solaris platform, which remains
the platform of choice for mission-critical intranet and Internet applications.
Although Nokia encountered a temporary setback this summer, this Finnish
telecommunication systems supplier turned in solid results for the 12-month
period. Nokia lost nearly 25% of its market value in a single day during July
when management warned of a decline in short-term operating margins resulting
from its decision to heavily discount older handsets to make way for newer
models and to opportunistically capture market share. Many investors interpreted
the announcement as an indication of broader demand issues and deteriorating
market positioning for Nokia. Our continual industry and customer checks
indicate that the severe reaction was overdone. We still believe in Nokia's
ability to execute in the fast-evolving wireless handset, wireless data and
wireless infrastructure markets.
Late in the period the semiconductor arena experienced a broad sell-off as
investors sought to lock in earlier gains. Although some analysts point to the

end of a market cycle, suggesting a dramatic fall-off in growth, our research
indicates otherwise. We continue to see favorable supply and demand dynamics in
logic and specialty memory devices and increasing semiconductor content in a
broadening array of consumer electronic devices. Therefore, we maintained select
positions in Texas Instruments, a digital signal-processing leader, and Applied
Materials, a U.S. maker of front-end semiconductor production systems.
Finally, optical networking continues to be an area that holds great promise. As
global Internet and data usage increases, our holdings in JDS Uniphase, SDL,
Inc. and Furukawa Electric will continue to benefit. These companies provide
leading-edge optical components to system vendors such as Nortel, Ciena and
Cisco Systems.
In volatile markets such as this, there is little margin for error, and for
companies that fail to meet expectations, the punishment could be severe.
However, we believe technology is still the fastest-growing segment within the
economy, and that it stands to make further contributions toward enhanced
productivity and connectivity. I firmly believe we have not reached the physical
limits of technology development, especially in such areas as networking,
software and optics. As you can see from the constancy of the top names in the
Fund and the low rate of turnover, our fundamental convictions in our top
holdings remain intact, and I believe we will be rewarded in time.
Once again, thank you for your investment in Janus Global Technology Fund.

The figures shown reflect periods of favorable market conditions, and as a
result equity funds have experienced exceptional performance including a
significant impact from technology stocks. However, current performance may be
lower due to market volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results and investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total
return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains.
The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities in the Index.
The Index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio
management or trading. This Fund has been significantly impacted by investing in
initial public offerings (IPOs) during a period favorable for these stocks. The
Fund may not experience similar performance in the future.
This Fund concentrates in certain industry groups, which may react similarly to
market development. As a result, this fund may experience greater price
volatility. Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency
fluctuations and political uncertainty.

Janus | Growth and Income Fund
[PHOTO]
David Corkins
portfolio manager
I'm pleased to report that for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, the Fund
gained 16.44%, more than doubling the 6.08% return of its benchmark, the S&P 500
Index.(1)
As always, our primary goal is to surpass our benchmark over a three- to
five-year time horizon. To achieve that goal amid a volatile and challenging
market environment, we redoubled our efforts to find attractively priced,
well-managed companies with expanding profit margins and high returns on
capital. Our pursuit of businesses with these qualities has led us to invest in
a broad and eclectic mix of stocks that we believe can perform in a variety of
market conditions.
One such company is Enron, North America's largest buyer and seller of natural
gas. Not only has Enron profited from ongoing volatility in energy prices, but
enthusiasm for its trading operations and fledgling broadband telecommunications
business also pushed its stock higher. Given Enron's success, it's no surprise
that Fortune magazine has named it "America's Most Innovative Company" for five
consecutive years.
The phenomenal growth of the Internet has continued to power many of our
holdings, including EMC Corp. and VeriSign. The top maker of data-storage
systems, EMC recently introduced a host of new products to support
network-attached storage, the current trend in the industry. What's more, EMC is
developing Internet-based storage equipment designed to serve small- and
mid-sized corporate networks, which will dramatically expand its market.
VeriSign, the leading maker of Internet-security software, just announced a 600%
increase in quarterly revenue over the same period last year. These exceptional
results were partially driven by VeriSign's acquisition of Internet domain name
registrar Network Solutions, a combination that could provide customers with
"one-stop shopping" for a variety of Internet services from registration to
security.
Outside the technology sector, Paychex also supported our results. The
second-largest payroll accounting firm in the U.S., Paychex provides payroll
processing for small and mid-sized firms. The company recently announced record
quarterly income on continued earnings gains and its strong cash position. To be
sure, Paychex has consistently shown 35% earnings growth year in and year out.
Citigroup, the largest financial institution in the U.S., also performed well.
Although it already operates in 57 countries around the world, we remain excited
about Citigroup's vast global growth opportunities as it seeks to expand its
geographic reach through continued acquisitions. With $20 billion in excess
capital and a large amount of annual free cash flow, we believe Citigroup has
the financial flexibility to weather market volatility and increase its returns
on capital.
Working against us were Comcast and Cox Communications. Cable operators have
been out of favor for most of the year as they posted losses on heavy
expenditures to offer new services such as high-speed Internet access and
digital TV. Adding to this downward pressure were concerns about intense
industry competition and fears that advertising-supported businesses would
suffer as the economy slows. Still, the fundamentals of these companies remain
solid,

so we have elected to maintain both holdings as we closely monitor their
progress. Office supply retailer Staples also disappointed. Higher-than-
anticipated spending to roll out its new Web site, together with increased
pricing pressure from competitors, combined to push Staples lower, and we
therefore sold the stock at a loss in order to deploy those assets elsewhere.
While gratified with our fiscal year results, I'm less than satisfied with our
performance year to date. There continues to be a great deal of confusion in the
market as investors wonder whether the recent downturn is a buying opportunity
or the beginning of an extended decline. I agree with Edward Fiedler, who said,
"If you ask five economists, you'll get five different answers (six if one went
to Harvard)." And although this confusion often causes considerable anxiety, in
truth the volatility plays into our hands by creating outstanding opportunities
for those willing to see past the noise and do the work necessary to fully
understand a company's fundamentals. Our objective is to avoid the current
emotional swings in the market and instead focus on visiting both our current
holdings as well as many prospective investments. I'm reminded of Yogi Berra's
quote, "Baseball is 90% mental, the other half is physical." In the end, we
firmly believe that knowing our companies inside and out will give us the
competitive edge to successfully navigate the market's ups and downs.
Thank you for your investment in Janus Growth and Income Fund.

The figures shown reflect periods of favorable market conditions, and as a
result equity funds have experienced exceptional performance including a
significant impact from technology stocks. However, current performance may be
lower due to market volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results and investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total
return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains.
The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities in the Index.
The Index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio
management or trading.

Janus | Mercury Fund

Warren Lammert
portfolio manager
I'm pleased to report that Janus Mercury Fund returned 22.99% during the 12
months ended October 31, 2000, compared with the 6.08% earned by our benchmark,
the S&P 500 Index. This strong performance also placed us well ahead of the
13.59% return of the Nasdaq Composite Index, a tech-heavy benchmark against
which many of our fastest-growing companies are often measured.(1) As a result,
Janus Mercury Fund earned a top-quartile ranking against its peers, placing
100th out of 496 large-cap growth funds tracked by Lipper, Inc., a leading
mutual fund rating company for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2000.(2)
The beginning of the period saw a continuation of many of the same trends that
made 1999 so successful. By late spring, however, the environment had changed.
Sentiment quickly turned against many of the companies that had led the tech
sector higher for so long when a series of four short-term interest rate hikes
by the Federal Reserve helped convince investors to rethink their assumptions
surrounding the market's most richly priced companies. Stocks dropped sharply as
a result, leaving most major market indices with only modest gains by the end of
the period.
The Fund plotted a similar course, with substantial gains won during the first
half of the year cut considerably amid the volatile trading that characterized
the last six months of the period. Perhaps the group of stocks that most closely
tracked the market's split performance were our wireless positions. Companies
like cellular handset leader Nokia traded substantially higher during the
opening months of the period as subscriber roles expanded and enthusiasm
surrounding wireless data lifted the shares. By spring, however, the high costs
paid by cellular operators for licenses to operate next-generation, or "3-G,"
networks in Europe gave rise to concerns that the industry's growth rate would
slow. These fears were compounded later in the period by Nokia's own warning
that third-quarter revenue would be softer than expected, causing Nokia and
other cellular-related companies to decline sharply.
While this reduced the sizable gain our Nokia position had earned earlier in the
year, the stock still finished solidly higher during the period. Furthermore,
Nokia's troubles were soon proven to be largely a temporary reaction to the
unfortunate timing of a product replacement cycle as the company's most recently
released earnings announcement showed substantial improvements in both revenue
growth and profitability. For these and other reasons, we have maintained our
exposure to Nokia and other carefully selected wireless companies.
Our Internet positions also traded to a mixed finish. Like our wireless stocks,
a number of Web-related companies gained substantially during the first three
months of 2000 only to be taken lower by a rapid turn in sentiment as the year
wore on. In hindsight, I am truly disappointed that I failed to react more
quickly to the change in market psychology and to the increased uncertainty in
the general business environment, particularly with regard to our Internet-
related exposure. However, while a number of our

(1) All returns include reinvested dividends and distributions.
(2) Lipper, Inc. defines a large-cap growth fund as one that "invests at least
75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a
three-year weighted basis) of greater than 300% of the dollar-weighted
median market capitalization of the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index. Large-cap growth
funds normally invest in companies with long-term earnings expected to grow
significantly faster than the earnings of the stocks represented in a major
unmanaged stock index. These funds will normally have an above-average
price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year earnings
growth figure, compared to the U.S. diversified large-cap funds universe
average." As of October 31, 2000, Janus Mercury Fund ranked 100/496 for the
1-year period and 5/203 for the 5-year period. The ranking is based on
total return, including reinvestment of dividends, distributions and
capital gains for the stated period.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.

business-to-consumer stocks worked against us and were ultimately trimmed or
sold completely from the Fund, on balance, the Internet was once again a source
of strength. Companies such as Cisco Systems and EMC Corporation, both of which
are leading the development of key pieces of the Internet's infrastructure,
continued to post strong gains. At the same time, business-to-business ("B2B")
e-commerce company i2 technologies - which effectively responded to rapid
changes in the B2B marketplace to become a clear leader in the industry - was
one of the Fund's most notable performers.
Meanwhile, one area that received increased attention in the Fund was the rapid
emergence of deregulated markets for electricity and natural gas - a theme
represented most prominently by our long-time investment in diversified energy
company Enron. The company's outstanding performance, together with the rapid
deregulation of electricity and natural gas markets worldwide, caused us to
investigate a number of other compelling opportunities and ultimately led to the
addition of such companies as Duke Energy and Southern Company to the Fund.
In closing, we are optimistic about major themes such as wireless, cable and
networking, where fundamentals remain robust. Regardless, we will continue to
judge each holding on its own individual merits and are steadfast in our belief
that a focus on fast-growing companies in dynamic industries is the best way to
produce long-term results for our shareholders.
Thank you for your continued confidence and investment in Janus Mercury Fund.

The figures shown reflect periods of favorable market conditions, and as a
result equity funds have experienced exceptional performance including a
significant impact from technology stocks. However, current performance may be
lower due to market volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results and investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total
return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains.
The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities in the Index.
The Index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio
management or trading.

Janus | Olympus Fund (closed to new investors)
[PHOTO]
Claire Young
portfolio manager
Janus Olympus Fund gained 28.05% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000,
outpacing our benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 6.08%.(1) These
impressive results placed the Fund in the top quartile of its peer group for the
period, ranking 57th out of 496 large-cap growth funds tracked by Lipper, Inc.,
a leading mutual fund rating company for the one year period ended October 31,
2000.(2)
I am satisfied that several of our dominant growth companies achieved their
potential this year and were rewarded with strong equity performance. The
secular industry trends we have identified continued to strengthen and flourish.
One such trend is the ongoing focus on improving productivity by investing in
information technology (IT) to better utilize information, manage supply chains
and conserve human resources in a tight labor market. As information becomes a
primary business asset, companies are emphasizing the storage, management and
sharing of data by connecting storage systems and servers to create storage-area
networks (SANs) and attaching information systems via intranets or the Internet
to facilitate information flow.
VERITAS, a leading provider of storage management software, benefited
tremendously from this strong IT spending. The company, whose products ensure
continuous data availability of business-critical information, expanded its
offerings into SAN-aware applications and mission-critical e-commerce data
management. Another beneficiary was Brocade Communications, which supplies fiber
channel switching solutions that interconnect SAN devices. Brocade enjoyed
vigorous growth as enterprise SANs evolve from singular departmental islands to
campus-wide networks. As the leading Internet server provider, Sun Microsystems
continued to experience tremendous demand for its products as well. Sun ended
the period introducing new equipment focused on scalability, seamless
integration and reliability robust enough for service providers.
Elsewhere, as the volume of data transmitted via the telecommunications network
exceeded that of voice traffic, cable and telephony providers added capacity of
data networking infrastructure while scaling back on traditional voice
expenditures. Because they face plummeting prices in voice products, these
companies continued to upgrade their fiber-optic backbones, looking to future
data, video and audio traffic to generate profits.
Benefiting from this development was JDS Uniphase, the largest photonic
component manufacturer. The company saw tremendous demand for its fiber-optic
parts as it struggled to meet customer requests by acquiring E-Tek Dynamics,
Optical Coating Laboratories and SDL and by quadrupling manufacturing capacity.
Likewise, market-leading IP system provider Juniper Networks capitalized on its
strong position in high-speed backbone routers, addressing other needs of
telecommunications companies by introducing equipment for peering, hosting and
high-speed traffic aggregation. Additionally, Cisco Systems, the leader in data
networking, leveraged its enterprise data routing and switching capabilities by
creating products that integrate voice, video, wireless and data traffic. Cisco
also entered the explosive optical equipment market by acquiring several small
firms.
Technology has not only transformed the way companies conduct business, it has
also revolutionized entire industries such as the pharmaceutical/biotechnology
arena. Their ability to rapidly create more efficacious drugs with fewer side
effects has been aided by database mining for unique molecules and improved
early interaction screening.

(1) Both returns include reinvested dividends and distributions.
(2) Lipper, Inc. defines a large-cap growth fund as one that "invests at least
75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a
three-year weighted basis) of greater than 300% of the dollar-weighted
median market capitalization of the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index. Large-cap growth
funds normally invest in companies with long-term earnings expected to grow
significantly faster than the earnings of the stocks represented in a major
unmanaged stock index. These funds will normally have an above-average
price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year earnings
growth figure, compared to the U.S. diversified large-cap funds universe
average." As of October 31, 2000, Janus Olympus Fund ranked 57/496 for the
1-year period. The ranking is based on total return, including reinvestment
of dividends, distributions and capital gains for the stated period.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Fund holding Applied Biosystems, a leading manufacturer of life science
biochemical instruments systems, supported our results as it provided the
production-scale sequencers that enabled the mapping of the human genome. To
equip scientists to apply this information in the creation of new drugs, the
company has introduced systems for analyzing gene expression and variations and
studying proteomics, the research of protein characterization and interaction.
Another strong performer was biotech firm Genentech, which is using human
genetic information to create protein-based pharmaceuticals. The success of its
Herceptin and Rituxan drugs has cemented Genentech's leadership position in the
area of oncology.
While we were generally pleased with our performance, some investments did not
live up to expectations. Vodafone declined after worries about the large
expenditures required for 3-G licenses and equipment. We opted to hold our
position, but will monitor it for future developments. Meanwhile, Electronic
Arts was liquidated after Sony downsized its PlayStation 2 launch, impacting
Electronic Arts' revenue growth. Finally, DoubleClick was sold as Internet
advertising spending slowed and dimmed the company's future prospects.
Looking ahead, we are seeing signs of a slowing U.S. economy, including the
weakened financial position of many Internet firms, restructuring announcements
by telecommunications providers and poor retail sales. In such an environment, I
remain vigilant in analyzing our companies' fundamentals. As long as they
continue to be firm or improving, I believe our investments will be rewarded
over time.
Thank you for your confidence in Janus Olympus Fund.

The figures shown reflect periods of favorable market conditions, and as a
result equity funds have experienced exceptional performance including a
significant impact from technology stocks. However, current performance may be
lower due to market volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results and investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total
return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains.
The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities in the Index.
The Index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio
management or trading.

Ron Sachs
portfolio manager
Since the Fund's launch at the end of June through October 31, 2000, Janus Orion
Fund declined 11.90% compared to a loss of 1.39% for its benchmark, the S&P 500
Index.(1)
The last four months have proven to be a difficult environment to launch a new
fund. I expected better returns, and I imagine you did, too. Though the market
worked against us in the short-term, I remain encouraged by the business
performance of the companies behind the stocks. Most of the Fund's holdings
continued to build their franchises and create shareholder value.
My goal is to provide superior long-term performance by investing in the best
businesses on the planet. To me, that means finding businesses with compelling
cash flows as well as identifiable competitive advantages that translate into
sustainable long-term earnings growth. I prefer to buy these businesses at
attractive prices - that usually means buying when Janus' research uncovers
something the market is missing. In this sense, the volatility actually helped
us to the extent that it allowed us to add to our investments in what we believe
are solid long-term growth opportunities at appealing valuations.
One such company is Winstar Communications, which uses fixed-wireless technology
to provide high-speed data transmission to businesses. Because fiber-optic
cables may never reach the vast majority of businesses, we believe
fixed-wireless links will emerge as the most efficient technology for delivering
high-speed connectivity. Despite the stock's recent decline, Winstar has
delivered solid operating results.
The company has been on my "watch" list for years, and I took advantage of
recent weakness to establish a sizable position.
Entravision Communications, a diversified media company, is another holding with
strong recent fundamental performance and attractive prospects. Although the
company's business remains strong overall, I am particularly excited about its
television and radio operations. Entravision is a principal station operator of
the Univision television network, which gears its programming toward the
domestic Hispanic population. In its most recent fiscal quarter, the company's
television stations enjoyed 39% sales growth - testament to the strength of
Univision's content and the power of its growing audience to attract advertising
dollars. Entravision's radio stations showed similar strength, increasing
revenues 21% for the same period. With great barriers to entry and an
opportunity for continued revenue growth on a relatively fixed-cost base,
Entravision is, in our opinion, a great long-term investment. Once again, I took
advantage of weakness in the stock and increased our stake.
My biggest disappointment was Samsung Electronics, a large Korean manufacturer
of memory for personal computers, flat-panel monitors and wireless
communications handsets. I first invested in Samsung after viewing the company
as an inexpensive play on several rapidly growing areas of technology. Before
the Fund launched, the stock had come under pressure when Korean cellular
handset sales slowed and

after investors priced in a worst-case scenario for memory pricing. I believed
the market had overreacted to these developments. However, I failed to fully
appreciate that Samsung competes in sectors that offer minimal pricing power,
making it difficult to create long-term shareholder value. Multiple meetings
with the company's management have not revealed a catalyst that might drive the
shares higher in the near term. Nevertheless, because the stock is so cheap that
the downside appears limited, we have elected to hold onto our position but
continue to monitor developments at the company.
Although I'm not at all satisfied with the Fund's recent performance, I am
encouraged by the fundamental progress made by many of our holdings. Over the
course of months or quarters, the market can be harsh in its judgement. But over
longer spans, it can be quite fair, rewarding the best businesses by bidding
their shares higher. As I mentioned earlier, I aim to invest in the world's
greatest companies. With the Fund's focused, yet flexible mandate and
considering that we enjoy the backing of our deep research bench, I'm extremely
confident that we will continue to uncover companies the market will reward over
the long-term. That said, short-term volatility is often the price of admission
to these opportunities. Although it can be exceptionally challenging to maintain
the long-term view, I continue to evaluate our existing and potential
investments in this context.
Thank you for your investment in Janus Orion Fund.

We are extremely pleased to report that Janus Overseas Fund returned 32.59%
during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2000, strong performance that
placed us well ahead of the 2.90% loss recorded by our benchmark, the Morgan
Stanley Capital International EAFE Index.(1) These results placed Janus Overseas
Fund in the top 1% of its peer group for the 12 months ended October 31, 2000,
ranking fifth out of 666 international funds tracked by Lipper Inc., a leading
mutual fund-rating company.(2)
The period was not without its share of difficulties, however, as a range of
factors including interest rate uncertainty, rising energy costs, currency
troubles and fears of a slowdown in corporate earnings created an extremely
volatile environment for stocks. This in turn forced the dollar-based returns of
most major European market indices into negative territory for the year. In
Asia, Korea led other emerging markets lower, while Japanese stocks were held
back by the country's still-sluggish economy. Although many of the fast-growing
sectors in which we participate were among those hit hardest by the increase in
volatility, a number of our companies were able to navigate the difficult
environment to post gains.
In March, some of the market's more speculative and overpriced companies in
technology and telecommunications fell substantially as investors revisited
their assumptions concerning the durability of their business models, and many
have yet to regain their footing. Even a number of firms with outstanding growth
prospects and intact business models have remained under pressure. However, some
profitable companies with defensible franchises and strong, improving
fundamentals have emerged from the correction even stronger. Israel's Check
Point Software, which meets each of these criteria, was a case in point.
Meanwhile, Internet security continued to dominate headlines as well-publicized
breeches at wire transfer service Western Union and software giant Microsoft
drew increased attention to the best-of-breed Web security products Check Point
provides.
Our decision to increase our exposure to optical networking companies like
France's Alcatel and Japan's Furukawa Electric during the period aided results.
Immense growth in demand for fiber-optic components, which is being driven by a
rapid increase in demand for telecommunications bandwidth worldwide, allowed
these companies to post gains despite a relatively sharp pull-back as the year
drew to a close. On a fundamental basis, Alcatel's showing was strong. At the
same time, the recently-completed spinoff of the company's optical components
business - which promises to unlock the unit's value and provide Alcatel with
greater strategic flexibility - drew further attention to the shares.
Meanwhile, our exposure to the wireless industry - which remains an area of
focus for the Fund - produced mixed results. While many of our wireless
companies gained substantially during the first few months of the period, the
auction of licenses to operate next-generation wireless networks in Europe late
last spring marked a turning point for cellular

reinvested are the dividends that remain to be reinvested after foreign tax
obligations have been met. Such obligations vary from country to country.

operators. Vodafone Airtouch, together with other service providers in the Fund,
declined as the high prices paid for wireless spectrum gave rise to concerns
that mobile operators in Europe and elsewhere will have trouble recouping the
cost of their investment. That fear, together with perceived softness in mobile
handset sales and a modest downward revision of revenue forecasts by industry
leader Nokia during the recently completed third quarter, pressured virtually
the entire sector.
In closing, we are pleased with our overall results during what has been an
extremely volatile year. While we are encouraged, we also see reason for
caution. The volatility that pressured worldwide markets at the beginning of the
year has only accelerated as economic uncertainty has continued to increase, and
sentiment with regard to many of the fast-growing segments in which we have
invested remains unsettled. Still, we believe long-term trends in areas such as
bandwidth, data storage and wireless remain intact. Furthermore, our strategy
has always been to pay close attention to the underlying valuation and business
fundamentals of each individual investment. We believe this year's strong
performance is a validation of this highly selective approach and therefore look
forward to the coming months with a measure of optimism.
Thank you for your continued confidence and investment in Janus Overseas Fund.

Janus | Special Situations Fund
[PHOTO]
David Decker
portfolio manager
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, Janus Special Situations Fund's
9.33% gain outpaced the performance of its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which
returned 6.08%.(1)
Following the meltdown of many highly valued technology stocks in April (a time
during which the Fund, while not unscathed, held up rather well), the market
rebounded through August. However, as companies began to realize that the
slowing economic environment was clearly having an impact on expected growth in
the second half of the year, many companies reduced their future earnings
expectations. This was followed by Wall Street's reduction in its collective
assessment of future value. The fear that a slowdown might manifest itself into
something more severe - like a recession - led to a quick and painful downward
slide in media stocks, which rely on a strong advertising market to drive sales.
Unfortunately, this time the Fund did not emerge unscathed.
Nonetheless, our outlook remains optimistic. I cannot predict the future, but
the market has recently provided some excellent investment opportunities at
discounted prices. Although short-term performance can be painful, we are
focused on long-term results. We believe the key to realizing that goal is
finding opportunities exactly when the market seems to disagree the most. This
is what special situation investing is all about.
While there were some highlights in the period, Palm and Coastal Corp. among
them, given the Fund's subpar performance, I believe it is more instructive to
focus on the lowlights. The most significant mistake during the period was not
selling Apple Computer before it severely missed its earnings estimates in
September. Unfortunately, Apple, which was one of our best investments over the
past two years, has turned into our worst. So what did we miss? Specifically, we
believed Apple could sell its new G4 Cube well and continue its tremendous
reemergence in the PC market. Unfortunately, the product didn't sell well, and
softness emerged in its seemingly more stable iMac division. Prior to its
earnings shortfall, Apple was clearly being priced for perfection. In other
words, the valuation didn't allow for a poorly received product introduction.
The goal of Janus Special Situations Fund is to identify companies that exhibit
a favorable risk/reward relationship, such that missteps won't be penalized too
severely, and then sell these companies when that relationship becomes
unfavorable. In the case of Apple, I stayed with the position too long, and I
take full responsibility for that mistake.
Another disappointment was PSINet, a diversified telecommunications company. We
purchased PSINet after its stock had declined substantially, believing the
market's reaction had been overly severe. In retrospect, it was only the
beginning. Management's inability to integrate and leverage the multiple
acquisitions made by PSINet over the past two years, coupled with a lack of
financing availability, caused the company to miss financial expectations.
Although we believed the risk/reward characteristics of the investment were in
our favor at the time of our purchase, we incorrectly analyzed the speed of the
financial deterioration and the dramatic shift in the funding situation.

Janus Equity Funds / October 31, 2000 47
<PAGE>
Winstar was another telecommunications company that saw a significant decline in
its market value. Unlike PSINet, which had fundamental problems with the
execution of its business model, Winstar's business model remains strong. The
company's stock came under pressure, we believe, because investors became
concerned with its ability to raise capital in what has become a very difficult
debt market. However, Winstar is well-funded and has recently shown its ability
to raise capital, despite the difficult market. Rather than sell this stock, we
chose to buy more, viewing its decline as a unique opportunity to purchase
shares at a substantial discount to the intrinsic value of the company.
A strong performer for the Fund was 3Com, a leading maker of computer networking
products. 3Com's stock tumbled in March and April due to the decline in its
holding in Palm Corp. However, 3Com's stock had fallen to a level that, by
subtracting its ownership in Palm as well as its cash hoard, implied the market
value of the rest of the company was negative. This, to us, was a unique buying
opportunity and is what special situation investing is all about; finding
companies that are significantly undervalued due to a misperception about the
value of the underlying asset.
Going forward, I am optimistic about the Fund's long-term prospects. Not only am
I convinced of its holdings' ultimate potential, but I remain exceptionally
confident in our ability to uncover the opportunities that represent an
attractive trade-off between risk and reward.
Thank you for your continued confidence and investment in Janus Special
Situations Fund.

The figures shown reflect periods of favorable market conditions, and as a
result equity funds have experienced exceptional performance including a
significant impact from technology stocks. However, current performance may be
lower due to market volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results and investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total
return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains.
The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities in the Index.
The Index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio
management or trading.
The Fund buys stock in overlooked or underappreciated companies of any size, in
any sector. Overlooked and underappreciated stocks present special risks.

Janus | Strategic Value Fund
[PHOTO]
David Decker
portfolio manager
The past several months have been particularly volatile. A market correction at
the end of April first sparked the uncertainty. After a brief rally in June and
July, signs of a softening economy triggered another correction in late August.
Most recently, this volatility has been compounded by uncertainty surrounding
the presidential elections. While Janus Strategic Value Fund avoided some of the
upheaval of the past few months, its performance nonetheless suffered. For the
eight-month period since the Fund's inception on February 29, 2000, the Fund
returned 12.90% while its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, was up 5.38% for the
same period ended October 31, 2000.(1)
The goal of the Fund is to invest in companies that exhibit excellent
appreciation potential with limited downside risk. While some segments of the
market proved particularly painful, those same segments provided some wonderful
investment opportunities that we believe well position the Fund in the coming
years. In other words, upheaval and uncertainty create opportunity for those
willing to embrace it. The worst time to run for cover is when the market is on
the verge of giving away great companies at hugely discounted prices. Although
we are sometimes early in taking advantage of these opportunities, it is
important to remember that short-term dislocations in the market are common and
should not cloud long-term thinking.
Looking back on the individual performances of many of our holdings, there were
several excellent performers, including Coastal Corp., SBC Corp., 3Com, Cadence
Design and Johnson & Johnson. However, there were also a number of
disappointments, such as Apple Computer, Advanced Micro Devices, and Valassis
Communications.
The first company I would like to highlight is Apple. We purchased Apple in
Janus Strategic Value Fund after the stock declined in the April sell-off. Given
its depressed stock price and the exciting prospects that lay ahead for the
company, we felt that the tradeoff between risk and reward was favorable. As it
turned out, Apple's launch of its new G4 Cube was not as successful as
anticipated, and its core iMac line suffered as well. In September the company
announced an earnings shortfall, and the stock lost 60% of its market value,
which significantly impacted the Fund's performance. In retrospect the
risk/reward was not in our favor as we clearly overestimated the success of the
new product introduction.
Another holding that disappointed us was semiconductor maker Advanced Micro
Devices (AMD). We bought this stock because we believed (and still do) that the
competitive situation with rival Intel has changed now that AMD offers high-end
products that match, and in many cases exceed, the performance of Intel.
Nonetheless, the recognition by many personal computer (PC) makers that the PC
market was slowing in the second half of the year, compounded by a recent
earnings miss by Intel, caused the stock to lose more than half of its market
value. AMD, for its part, has not experienced an earnings shortfall and
continues to report excellent results. We believe our thesis on AMD is correct
and took

advantage of the severe correction in the stock to add to our position.
Meanwhile, Coastal Corp. and SBC Communications were important contributors to
the Fund's performance. Coastal will soon merge with El Paso Gas. The two energy
companies continue to execute very well, and we believe that when combined, the
new company will provide an attractive balance of risk and reward. El Paso plans
to discuss its telecommunications strategy in early February, a strategy we
believe will unlock significant value. In the case of SBC, its stock came under
pressure when investors became concerned that this diversified
telecommunications company would be unable to achieve its own aggressive targets
for DSL penetration. From our perspective it was a timing issue, and we believe
the company is doing an excellent job of penetrating the market. Its stock has
since rebounded strongly as the company's DSL, wireless and long distance
strategies continue to perform well.
From our perspective the most important aspect of value investing is measuring
risk with reward. While we are sometimes wrong, as in the case with Apple, in
general we have been successful in that effort, which has contributed to solid
performance in what has been an extremely volatile market. Going forward, we are
optimistic about our ability to find value both domestically and abroad
irrespective of the general condition of the broader market.
Thank you again for your continued support of Janus Strategic Value Fund.

A graphic comparison of the change in value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment
in Janus Strategic Value Fund and the S&P 500 Index. Janus Strategic Value Fund
is represented by a shaded area of green. The S&P 500 Index is represented by a
solid black line. The "y" axis reflects the value of the investment. The "x"
axis reflects the computation periods from inception, February 29, 2000, through
October 31, 2000. The upper and lower right quadrants reflect the ending value
of the hypothetical investment in Janus Strategic Value Fund ($11,290) as
compared to the S&P 500 Index ($10,538).

The figures shown reflect periods of favorable market conditions, and as a
result equity funds have experienced exceptional performance including a
significant impact from technology stocks. However, current performance may be
lower due to market volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results and investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total
return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains.
The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities in the Index.
The Index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio
management or trading.
The Fund buys stock in overlooked or underappreciated companies of any size, in
any sector. Overlooked and underappreciated stocks present special risks.
A fund's performance for very short time periods may not be indicative of future
performance.

Janus | Twenty Fund (closed to new investors)
[PHOTO]
Scott Schoelzel
portfolio manager
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2000, Janus Twenty Fund gained 7.40%.
This compares with the 6.08% return posted by the S&P 500 Index.(1) Although
these numbers are respectable, they mask the sharp downturn we have experienced
since Labor Day 2000. Between that time and the writing of this letter in late
November, the Fund has lost slightly more than 20% of its value.
Three prominent themes in my 1997, 1998 and 1999 letters to Janus Twenty Fund
shareholders were based on my belief that a) the outsized returns we enjoyed in
these years would not be sustainable, b) it is important to maintain a three- to
five-year investment time horizon when investing in the Fund, and c) the markets
were going to be increasingly volatile. 2000 has embodied all of these
characteristics and much, much more.
From the beginning, I have believed that in order to be a successful investor
you have to start with a point of view that shapes the basic framework for your
investment philosophy. I know this sounds pretty common-sensical, but it is not
as prevalent as you might think in the professional money management ranks. Many
institutions are fixated on their performance relative to the S&P 500 (or some
other index) and have spawned cultures and investment philosophies that can best
be described as "closet indexers." Their charge is to build portfolios that look
almost identical to the indices, while adding a few investments they believe
will provide them with a modest return over their respective benchmarks. At
Janus, our view has always been different, and so have our results.
Our funds are built from the ground up, one stock at a time. We begin by
intuitively and intelligently thinking about the future of the products and
services more businesses and consumers are using with greater frequency on a
daily basis. We travel the globe and meet with thousands of management teams in
an effort to assess the elements of success. Everything from the quantitative
analysis of the income statement, balance sheet and returns on capital to the
qualitative lessons we have learned while navigating the financial markets over
this past decade comes into play. Through thick and thin, this basic process has
worked wonders and remains quite consistent.
Our view is that we are still in the early stages of an "e-volution" in fields
as diverse as communications, biotechnology, financial services, media and
retailing. Although the way we live, learn, educate and entertain has changed in
very profound ways, we believe we are still in the initial phase of this
metamorphosis. Traditional businesses have begun to embrace many of the
techniques of these e-pioneers, and we expect this to continue at an
accelerating rate. This viewpoint has shaped this Fund, and my bias is to
continue to invest in fast-growing, high-margin, slightly higher-P/E companies
we believe are addressing today's open-ended opportunities and are run by
managers in which we have the greatest confidence. During the period, companies
that met this criteria included America Online, EMC, Palm, Millennium
Pharmaceuticals, Aether Systems, Level 3 Communications, Goldman Sachs, Nokia,
General Electric, Home Depot, Cisco Systems and VeriSign, to name a few.

Naturally, we have and will continue to make our fair share of mistakes. As the
saying goes, the only problem with investing is that it requires some discussion
of the future. Compounding the challenge of investing in today's financial
markets is the tremendous increase in volatility. The average daily fluctuation
in the Nasdaq this year is just shy of 3%! Historically, the number has been
around 0.67%.
Finally, we have made some of our largest investment gains by holding a stock
for many years, enduring a reasonable amount of volatility along the way, but
never taking our eye off the long-term prize. Going forward, I expect this to
become more difficult. With volatility on the rise and information from the
companies becoming more restrained as a result of the SEC's adoption of
Regulation Fair Disclosure, the markets will become less efficient. Therefore, I
expect to be more opportunistic going forward, taking advantage of a few of the
trading possibilities that these inefficiencies may present. I feel confident we
can capitalize on these opportunities because of the incredible job our analysts
do keeping abreast of change in even the most dynamic industries.
Thank you for your continued confidence in Janus Twenty Fund. It has been a
particularly difficult period. Nevertheless, we have seen and successfully
navigated difficult markets before, and I am confident that our investment
process is sound and that our analysts and portfolio managers are poised to
capitalize on the opportunities ahead.

The figures shown reflect periods of favorable market conditions, and as a
result equity funds have experienced exceptional performance including a
significant impact from technology stocks. However, current performance may be
lower due to market volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results and investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total
return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains.
The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities in the Index.
The Index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio
management or trading.
Concentration may lead to a greater price volatility.

For the 12-month period ending October 31, 2000, Janus Venture Fund gained 3.79%
compared to a gain of 17.41% for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index.(1)
After finishing 1999 on a high note, stock markets turned south in 2000. A
number of factors, ranging from interest rate fears to concerns over soft
corporate earnings to worries about stock market valuations, combined to
increase investor uncertainty and undermine the market's positive momentum. As
investors' risk aversion increased, many of our holdings lost significant value
and have yet to rebound, resulting in our disappointing performance for the
fiscal year.
One side effect of investors' rediscovered risk sensitivity was the evaporation
of the previously liquid capital markets. In 1999 it was easy for companies to
raise money, either by selling shares of stock to the public or by tapping the
junk bond market. As investors' tolerance for risk decreased, companies needing
to rely upon external sources of cash were punished in the marketplace. Perhaps
no sectors were harder hit by this development than business-to-consumer (B2C)
Internet stocks and alternative telecommunications services companies, many of
which were not self-funding and instead depended on investors' optimistic
generosity to operate.
Fortunately, we significantly reduced our exposure to B2C Internet stocks early
in the period, and, in the process, avoided much of the carnage in that sector.
However, our media stocks - particularly radio holdings such as Radio One and
Westwood One - were indirectly victimized by the dot-com washout. Last year
radio operators benefited tremendously from the rush by several Internet
companies to establish a brand name with consumers. With their coffers brimming
from their initial public offerings, B2C Internet companies flooded the airwaves
with their marketing messages, thereby driving up advertising rates
significantly as demand outstripped supply. Now that many of these dot-coms are
out of cash, demand for radio advertisements has declined sharply, and radio
stocks have been feeling the pinch.
Although we successfully navigated the B2C debacle, we weren't as perceptive
about developments in the alternative telecommunication services sector. These
companies have relied heavily on investors to fund their network buildouts. Now
that the market is less willing to exchange cash for the outside chance of
future profits, many of these businesses could be on the verge of bankruptcy.
Our exposure to this area, however, was limited to companies such as Winstar
Communications and Globix, both of which have demonstrated solid fundamental
progress. Nevertheless, investors lumped what we believe are good companies in
with the bad, and our overall showing suffered as a result.
Our exposure to companies such as Alpha Industries and TriQuint Semiconductor,
which supply components to the wireless communications hardware industry, also
hindered our results. This area came under pressure when two leading handset
manufacturers lowered their near-term sales forecasts. We, however, chose to
take a long-term view and maintained our position. Later this year new units
should be introduced that will make wireless Web surfing a more user-friendly
experience. Should these enhanced features result in an upgrade cycle, our
holdings will be poised to benefit.

Meanwhile, many of our holdings also performed exceptionally well over the past
year, notably our business-to-business (B2B) Internet stocks. Unlike their B2C
counterparts, whose business models create a questionable amount of economic
value and whose future profitability is in doubt, many B2B companies will be in
the black next year. B2B leaders, such as PurchasePro.com and Commerce One,
contributed positively to the Fund's results. Both represent the next generation
of electronic data interchange (EDI), a 20-year old business practice that uses
technology to increase the efficiency of interaction between companies. The
difference between these B2B offerings and EDI is that today's superior
technology, along with the proliferation of the Internet, has forced many
companies to participate or perish. Furthermore, many of the services and
exchanges provided by B2B companies offer participants significant cost savings.
As we look ahead, we remain optimistic about the prospects for our holdings.
With a moderating economy potentially resulting in slower corporate profit
growth, we have entered a true stock-pickers' market. Although volatility in the
broader market will likely intensify as investors reevaluate the prospects of
their holdings against this backdrop, our research suggests the fundamentals of
our companies remain widely underappreciated. Granted, the market will do as it
pleases, but we believe our investments possess attractive potential over the

The figures shown reflect periods of favorable market conditions, and as a
result equity funds have experienced exceptional performance including a
significant impact from technology stocks. However, current performance may be
lower due to market volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results and investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total
return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains.
The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities in the Index.
The Index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio
management or trading.
This Fund has been significantly impacted by investing in initial public
offerings (IPOs) during a period favorable for these stocks. The Fund may not
experience similar performance in the future.

Janus | Worldwide Fund (closed to new investors)

Laurence Chang

We are pleased to report that Janus Worldwide Fund returned 22.41% during the
12-month period ended October 31, 2000, strong performance that placed us well
ahead of the 1.09% gain recorded by our benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital
International World Index.(1) These results earned the Fund a top-quartile
ranking for the year, placing it 35th out of 261 global growth funds tracked by
Lipper, Inc., a leading mutual fund rating company. For the year, Janus
Worldwide Fund finished in the top 13% of its peer group.(2)
Developments in the U.S. largely set the tone for worldwide markets during the
year, with major markets in Europe and Asia generally following U.S. stocks
higher during the first four months of the period. However, worldwide markets
retreated in mid-March when sentiment turned against fast-growing stocks of the
Nasdaq Composite Index. Rising energy prices, higher interest rates and fears
that a slowdown in the U.S. economy would pressure corporate earnings then took
over, keeping a lid on equities and forcing most major benchmarks into negative
territory for the year. While most European markets ended the period mixed,
dollar-based returns were lower due to the decline of the euro during the year.
Japanese stocks mirrored the still-sluggish economy, with the Nikkei Index
finishing near 18-month lows. In the emerging markets, Asian stocks were notably
poor performers with some, such as Taiwan, trading near lows touched during the
1998 Asian crisis.
While many of the fast-growing sectors in which we participate were hit hard, a
number of our companies held up well. Examples included JDS Uniphase, which
manufactures components used in capacity-enhancing optical equipment
increasingly being deployed by telecommunications companies worldwide. Other
successes in the optical space included fiber-optic cable maker Corning of the
U.S. and optical laser manufacturer Furukawa Electric of Japan. Although
volatility in these stocks has increased markedly in recent weeks, all three
companies managed to hold onto gains won earlier in the year and finished
higher.
Israel's Check Point Software, which is rapidly emerging as a leader in Internet
security software, also finished higher. A steep decline in technology-related
shares that began in March made investors much more selective in deciding which
Internet-related companies deserve funding and which do not. Some of the
market's more speculative and overpriced companies fell substantially as a
result, and many have yet to regain their footing. However, companies such as
Check Point, with its proven market leadership, solid profitability and
improving fundamentals, emerged from the correction relatively intact. During
the year, a series of highly-publicized "hacker attacks" focused attention on
the need for Web security. We believe security requirements will intensify as
corporations expand their intranets and virtual private networks and as the Web
becomes increasingly embedded as a transaction and communication tool for
businesses globally. Check Point's solid performance during the period reflected
these emerging trends.

(1) Both returns include reinvested dividends and distributions. Net dividends
reinvested are the dividends that remain to be reinvested after foreign tax
obligations have been met. Such obligations vary from country to country.
(2) Lipper, Inc. defines a global fund as one that "invests at least 25% of its
portfolio in securities traded outside the United States and may own U.S.
securities as well." As of October 31, 2000, Janus Worldwide Fund ranked
35/261 for the 1-year period and 2/120 for the 5-year period. The ranking
is based on total return, including reinvested dividends, distributions and
capital gains for the stated period.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.

At the same time, our wireless positions traded to a mixed finish. Many of our
wireless-related companies gained substantially during the first few months of
the period only to be hit hard by concerns that the industry's outstanding
growth rate was slowing. Vodafone Airtouch, one of our most notable
disappointments during the year, declined after the high prices paid for
licenses to operate next-generation networks gave rise to concerns that mobile
operators in Europe and elsewhere will have trouble recouping the cost of their
investment. Handset manufacturer Nokia injected further uncertainty by
announcing that a temporary glitch related to product transition cycles would
pressure third-quarter earnings, and most wireless-related stocks declined as a
result. Despite industry issues, some of our holdings in the sector continued to
outperform, such as China Mobile, the dominant service provider in much of
China, and Comverse Technology, an Israeli-based provider of software for voice
mail and other value-added services.
In closing, we are relatively pleased with our success during what proved to be
an extremely volatile year. Also, we remain confident that many of the secular
trends in the global economy - such as rapidly increasing demand for bandwidth
and data storage needs and the increasing ubiquity of wireless communications -
remain intact. Nonetheless, during periods of extreme market volatility our
strategy has been to remain highly selective in choosing stocks while paying
increasingly close attention to valuation and the underlying business
fundamentals of our investments.
Thank you for your continued confidence and investment in Janus Worldwide Fund.

The figures shown reflect periods of favorable market conditions, and as a
result equity funds have experienced exceptional performance including a
significant impact from technology stocks. However, current performance may be
lower due to market volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results and investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total
return includes reinvestment of dividends, distributions and capital gains.
The Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities in the Index.
The Index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio
management or trading.
Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuations and
political uncertainty.
This Fund has been significantly impacted by investing in initial public
offerings (IPOs) during a period favorable for these stocks. The Fund may not
experience similar performance in the future.

Exchangeable Securities.
(OMEGA) Step-up bonds are obligations which increase the interest payment rate
at a specified point in time. Rate shown reflects current rate which may
step up at a future date.
ss. Restricted/Illiquid Securities are valued at fair value determined in good
faith under procedures established by and under the supervision of the
Trustees.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME
Restricted securities held by a Fund may not be sold except in exempt
transactions or in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of
1933. The risk of investing in such securities is generally greater than the
risk of investing in the securities of widely held, publicly traded companies.
Lack of a secondary market and resale restrictions may result in the inability
of a Fund to sell a security at a fair price and may substantially delay the
sale of the security which each portfolio seeks to sell. In addition, these
securities may exhibit greater price volatility than securities for which
secondary markets exist.

Repurchase Agreements held by a Fund are fully collateralized, and such
collateral is in the possession of the Fund's custodian. The collateral is
evaluated daily to ensure its market value exceeds the current market value of
the repurchase agreements, including accrued interest. In the event of default
on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the
collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the
event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization
and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
proceedings.

Notes to | Financial Statements
The following section describes the organization and significant accounting
policies of the Funds and provides more detailed information about the schedules
and tables that appear throughout this report. In addition, the Notes explain
how the Funds operate and the methods used in preparing and presenting this
report.
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Janus Investment Fund (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as a no-load, open-end management investment
company. Sixteen series of shares ("Equity Funds" or "Funds") included in this
report invest primarily in equity securities. Each Fund is diversified as
defined in the 1940 Act, with the exception of Janus Enterprise Fund, Janus
Global Life Sciences Fund, Janus Global Technology Fund, Janus Olympus Fund,
Janus Orion Fund, Janus Special Situations Fund, Janus Strategic Value Fund and
Janus Twenty Fund, which are nondiversified.
Janus Strategic Value Fund and Janus Orion Fund began operations on February 29,
2000 and June 30, 2000, respectively. Organization costs were borne by Janus
Capital Corporation ("Janus Capital").
The following policies have been consistently followed by the Funds and are in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America in the investment company industry.
INVESTMENT VALUATION
Securities are valued at the closing price for securities traded on a principal
exchange (U.S. or foreign) and on the NASDAQ National Market. Securities traded
on over-the-counter markets and listed securities for which no sales are
reported are valued at the latest bid price obtained from one or more dealers
making a market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by the
Funds' Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within 60 days are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value. Foreign securities are
converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates at the close of the New York
Stock Exchange. When market quotations are not readily available, securities are
valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted
by the Funds' Trustees.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for as of the date purchased or sold.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from
foreign securities will be recorded as soon as the Trust is informed of the
dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of
discounts and premiums. Gains and losses are determined on the identified cost
basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.
SECURITY LENDING
The Portfolios may lend securities to qualified parties (typically brokers or
other financial institutions) for the purpose of earning additional income. All
loans will be continuously secured by collateral which consists of cash, U.S.
government securities, letters of credit and such other collateral permitted by
the SEC and policies approved by the Trustees. As with other extension of
credits, there is the risk of delay in recovering a loaned security or the risk
of loss in collateral rights if the borrower fails finan- cially. Securities
lending will only be made to parties that Janus Capital deems creditworthy and
in good standing.
The borrower pays fees at the funds direction to its lending agent.
Additionally, the lending agent invests the cash collateral and retains a
portion of the interest earned. The lending fees and the portfolios portion of
the interest income earned on cash collateral are included in interest income on
the statement of operations. During the period ended October 31, 2000, the
following portfolios had security lending fees totaling:
Fund Lending Fees
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Janus Fund $2,424,108
Janus Balanced Fund 87,938
Janus Equity Income Fund 23,710
Janus Global Technology Fund 446,227
Janus Growth and Income Fund 387,011
Janus Mercury Fund 2,051,519
Janus Olympus Fund 481,168
Janus Overseas Fund 1,472,331
Janus Twenty Fund 4,069,921
Janus Worldwide Fund 5,273,609
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FORWARD CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
AND FUTURES CONTRACTS
The Funds enter into forward currency contracts in order to reduce their
exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign
portfolio holdings and to lock in the U.S. dollar cost of firm purchase and sale
commitments for securities denominated in or exposed to foreign currencies. A
forward currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign
currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. The gain or loss arising from
the difference between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the
value of the foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing of such contract is
included in net realized gain or loss from foreign currency transactions.
Janus Equity Funds / October 31, 2000 85
<PAGE>
Notes to | Financial Statements (continued)
Forward currency contracts held by the Funds are fully collateralized by other
securities, which are denoted in the accompanying Schedule of Investments. Such
collateral is in the possession of the Funds' custodian. The collateral is
evaluated daily to ensure its market value equals or exceeds the current market
value of the corresponding forward currency contracts.
Currency gain and loss are also calculated on payables and receivables that are
denominated in foreign currencies. The payables and receivables are generally
related to security transactions and income.
Futures contracts are marked to market daily, and the resultant variation margin
is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When a contract is closed, a realized
gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing
value of the contract. Generally, open forward and futures contracts are marked
to market (i.e., treated as realized and subject to distribution) for federal
income tax purposes at fiscal year-end.
Foreign-denominated assets and forward currency contracts may involve more risks
than domestic transactions, including currency risk, political and economic
risk, regulatory risk and market risk. Risks may arise from the potential
inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from
unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S.
dollar.
The Funds may enter into "futures contracts" and "options" on securities,
financial indexes and foreign currencies, forward contracts and interest rate
swaps and swap-related products. The Funds intend to use such derivative
instruments primarily to hedge or protect from adverse movements in securities
prices, currency rates or interest rates. The use of futures contracts and
options may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or
imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying
securities, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," which was effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133," delaying by one year the effective date of SFAS No. 133. The
effective date for the Funds will be November 1, 2000. In June 2000, the FASB
issued No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
Hedging Activities," an amendment of SFAS No. 133. SFAS 133, as amended, may
affect the accounting treatment of the Funds' derivative instruments and related
assets. The Funds have not at this time quantified the impact, if any, on the
Financial Statements, resulting from the adoption of this new standard.
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS
The Funds may invest in initial public offerings (IPOs). IPOs and other
investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on a fund with a
small asset base. The Funds may not experience similar performance as their
assets grow.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTIONS AND EXPENSES
Dividends for Janus Balanced, Janus Equity Income and Janus Growth and Income
Funds are declared and distributed quarterly, and capital gains (if any) are
distributed annually. The remaining thirteen Equity Funds generally declare and
distribute dividends and capital gains (if any) annually. Each Fund bears
expenses incurred specifically on its behalf as well as a portion of general
expenses.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Funds intend to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and
realized gains and otherwise comply with the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies.

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The advisory agreement with the Funds spells out the fees that the Funds must
pay for the period ended October 31, 2000. For November and December 1999 each
of the Funds was subject to the following schedule:
Average Daily Net Annual Rate
Fee Schedule Assets of Fund Percentage (%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equity Funds First $300 Million .75
Next $200 Million .70
Over $500 Million .65
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective January 31, 2000, each Fund's management fee was reduced to 0.65% of
average daily net assets.
Janus Service Corporation ("Janus Service"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Janus
Capital, receives an annual fee of 0.16% of average net assets per Fund, plus
$4.00 per shareholder account (excluding Janus Fund, Janus Venture Fund, Janus
Twenty Fund and Janus Overseas Fund) for transfer agent services plus
reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses (primarily postage and telephone
charges).
During December 1999, Janus Capital reimbursed the Janus Overseas Fund
$3,128,513 as a result of a valuation error.
Officers and certain trustees of the Funds are also officers and/or directors of
Janus Capital; however, they receive no compensation from the Funds.
The Funds' expenses may be reduced by voluntary brokerage credits from an
unaffiliated broker. Such credits are included in Expense and Fee Offsets in the
Statement of Operations. Brokerage commissions paid to the unaffiliated broker
reduce transfer agent fees and expenses.
DST Systems, Inc. (DST), an affiliate of Janus Capital through a degree of
common ownership, provides fund accounting and shareholder accounting systems to
the Funds. DST Securities, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DST, is designated
as an introductory broker on certain portfolio transactions. Brokerage
commissions paid to DST Securities, Inc. serve to reduce transfer agent fees and
expenses. Brokerage commissions paid, fees reduced and the net fees paid to DST
for the year or period ended October 31, 2000, are noted below.

3. FEDERAL INCOME TAX
Net investment income distributions and capital gains distributions are
determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are due to differing
treatments for items such as deferral of wash sales, foreign currency
transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Permanent
items identified in the period ended October 31, 2000, have been reclassified
among the components of net assets as follows:
Undistributed Undistributed

The Funds have elected to treat gains and losses on forward currency contracts
as capital gains and losses. Other foreign currency gains and losses on debt
instruments are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes
pursuant to Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The net capital loss carryovers noted below as of October 31, 2000, are
available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce further
taxable gains distributions. These carryovers expire between October 31, 2007,
and October 31, 2008. The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of
unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investment securities for federal
income tax purposes as of October 31, 2000, are as follows:

1. PERFORMANCE OVERVIEWS
Performance overview graphs on the previous pages compare the performance of a
$10,000 investment in each Fund (from inception) with one or more widely used
market indexes through October 31, 2000.
When comparing the performance of a Fund with an index, keep in mind that market
indexes do not include brokerage commissions that would be incurred if you
purchased the individual securities in the index. They also do not include taxes
payable on dividends and interest or operating expenses incurred if you
maintained a portfolio invested in the index.
Average annual total returns are also quoted for each Fund. Average annual total
return is calculated by taking the growth or decline in value of an investment
over a period of time, including reinvestment of dividends and distributions,
then calculating the annual compounded percentage rate that would have produced
the same result had the rate of growth been constant throughout the period.
2. SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS
Following the performance overview section is each Fund's Schedule of
Investments. This schedule reports the industry concentrations and types of
securities held in each Fund's portfolio on the last day of the reporting
period. Securities are usually listed by type (common stock, corporate bonds,
U.S. government obligations, etc.) and by industry classification (banking,
communications, insurance, etc.).
The market value of each security is quoted as of the last day of the reporting
period. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies are converted
into U.S. dollars.
Funds that invest in foreign securities also provide a summary of investments by
country. This summary reports the Fund's exposure to different countries by
providing the percentage of securities invested in each country.
2a. FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS
A table listing forward currency contracts follows each Fund's Schedule of
Investments (if applicable). Forward currency contracts are agreements to
deliver or receive a preset amount of currency at a future date. Forward
currency contracts are used to hedge against foreign currency risk in the Fund's
long-term holdings.
The table provides the name of the foreign currency, the settlement date of the
contract, the amount of the contract, the value of the currency in U.S. dollars
and the amount of unrealized gain or loss. The amount of unrealized gain or loss
reflects the change in currency exchange rates from the time the contract was
opened to the last day of the reporting period.
3. STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
This statement is often referred to as the "balance sheet." It lists the assets
and liabilities of the Funds on the last day of the reporting period.
The Funds' assets are calculated by adding the value of the securities owned,
the receivable for securities sold but not yet settled, the receivable for
dividends declared but not yet received on stocks owned and the receivable for
Fund shares sold to investors but not yet settled. The Funds' liabilities
include payables for securities purchased but not yet settled, Fund shares
redeemed but not yet paid and expenses owed but not yet paid. Additionally,
there may be other assets and liabilities such as unrealized gain or loss on
forward currency contracts.
The last line of this statement reports the Funds' net asset value (NAV) per
share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing
the Funds' net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares
outstanding.

4. STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
This statement details the Funds' income, expenses, gains and losses on
securities and currency transactions, and appreciation or depreciation of
current portfolio holdings.
The first section in this statement, entitled "Investment Income," reports the
dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing
securities in the portfolio.
The next section reports the expenses and expense offsets incurred by the Funds,
including the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, transfer agent fees,
shareholder servicing expenses, and printing and postage for mailing statements,
financial reports and prospectuses.
The last section lists the increase or decrease in the value of securities held
in the Funds' portfolios. Funds realize a gain (or loss) when they sell their
position in a particular security. An unrealized gain (or loss) refers to the
change in net appreciation or depreciation of the Funds' portfolios during the
period. "Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/ (Loss) on Investments" is affected
both by changes in the market value of portfolio holdings and by gains (or
losses) realized during the reporting period.
5. STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
This statement reports the increase or decrease in the Funds' net assets during
the reporting period. Changes in the Funds' net assets are attributable to
investment operations, dividends, distributions and capital share transactions.
This is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the Funds'
net asset size to change during the period.
The first section summarizes the information from the Statement of Operations
regarding changes in net assets because of the Funds' investment performance.
The Funds' net assets may also change as a result of dividend and capital gains
distributions to investors. If investors receive their dividends in cash, money
is taken out of the Fund to pay the distribution. If investors reinvest their
dividends, the Funds' net assets will not be affected. If you compare each
Fund's "Net Decrease from Dividends and Distributions" to the "Reinvested
dividends and distributions," you'll notice that dividend distributions had
little effect on each Fund's net assets. This is because the majority of Janus
investors reinvest their distributions.
The reinvestment of dividends is included under "Capital Share Transactions."
"Capital Shares" refers to the money investors contribute to the Funds through
purchases or withdraw via redemptions. The Fund's net assets will increase and
decrease in value as investors purchase and redeem shares from the Fund.
The section entitled "Net Assets Consist of" breaks down the components of the
Funds' net assets. Because Funds must distribute substantially all earnings,
you'll notice that a significant portion of net assets is shareholder capital.

6. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
This schedule provides a per-share breakdown of the components that affect the
Funds' net asset value (NAV) for current and past reporting periods. Not only
does this table provide you with total return, it also reports total
distributions, asset size, expense ratios and portfolio turnover rate.
The first line in the table reflects the Funds' NAV per share at the beginning
of the reporting period. The next line reports the Funds' net investment income
per share, which comprises dividends and interest income earned on securities
held by the Funds. Following is the total of gains, realized and unrealized.
Dividends and distributions are then subtracted to arrive at the NAV per share
at the end of the period.
Also included are the Funds' expense ratios, or the percentage of net assets
that was used to cover operating expenses during the period. Expense ratios vary
across the Funds for a number of reasons, including the differences in
management fees, average shareholder account size, the frequency of dividend
payments and the extent of foreign investments, which entail greater transaction
costs.
The Funds' expenses may be reduced through expense-reduction arrangements. These
arrangements include the use of brokerage commissions, uninvested cash balances
earning interest or balance credits. The Statement of Operations reflects total
expenses before any such offset, the amount of offset and the net expenses. The
expense ratios listed in the Financial Highlights reflect total expenses both
prior to any expense offset and after the offsets.
The ratio of net investment income/(loss) summarizes the income earned less
expenses divided by the average net assets of a Fund during the reporting
period. Don't confuse this ratio with a Fund's yield. The net investment income
ratio is not a true measure of a Fund's yield because it doesn't take into
account the dividends distributed to the Fund's investors.
The next ratio is the portfolio turnover rate, which measures the buying and
selling activity in the Funds' portfolios. Portfolio turnover is affected by
market conditions, changes in the size of a Fund, the nature of the Fund's
investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager. A 100% rate
implies that an amount equal to the value of the entire portfolio is turned over
in a year; a 50% rate means that an amount equal to the value of half the
portfolio is traded in a year; and a 200% rate means that an amount equal to the
value of the portfolio is sold every six months.
