Janus High-Yield Fund
Supplement Dated June 6, 2000 to Prospectus
Dated January 31, 2000
THIS INFORMATION SUPPLEMENTS THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS DATED JANUARY 31, 2000. THIS
SUPPLEMENT AND THE PROSPECTUS CONSTITUTE A CURRENT PROSPECTUS. TO REQUEST
ANOTHER COPY OF THE PROSPECTUS, PLEASE CALL 1-800-525-3713.
I. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES THE FIRST PARAGRAPH IN THE SECTION "FEES
AND EXPENSES":
SHAREHOLDER FEES, such as sales loads, redemption fees or exchange fees, are
charged directly to an investor's account. All Janus funds are no-load
investments, so you will generally not pay any shareholder fees when you buy or
sell shares. However, if you sell shares of Janus High-Yield Fund you have held
for 90 days or less from their date of purchase, you may pay a redemption fee.
SHAREHOLDER FEES (PAID DIRECTLY FROM YOUR INVESTMENT)
Sales Charges None
Redemption Fee on shares of Janus High-Yield Fund held
90 days or less (as a % of amount redeemed)* 1.00%
* The redemption fee may be waived in certain circumstances, as described in the
Shareholder's Manual.
II. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES THE FIRST PARAGRAPH IN THE SECTION
"EXCHANGE POLICIES" IN THE SHAREHOLDER'S MANUAL:
The exchange privilege is not intended as a vehicle for short-term or excessive
trading. The Funds do not permit excessive trading or market timing. Excessive
purchases, redemptions, or exchanges of Fund shares disrupt portfolio management
and drive expenses higher. An exchange is treated as a redemption of shares from
one fund and a purchase into another fund. An exchange from Janus High-Yield
Fund of shares held 90 days or less may be subject to the Fund's 1.00%
redemption fee. This fee is paid to the Fund rather than Janus Capital, and is
designed to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs
associated with changes in the Fund's asset level and cash flow due to
short-term trading. If you bought shares on different days, the shares you held
the longest will be redeemed first for purposes of determining whether the
redemption fee applies. The redemption fee does not apply to any shares
purchased through: (1) certain qualified plans; (2) certain broker wrap fee
programs; and (3) reinvested distributions (dividends and capital gains). Janus
Capital reserves the right to waive the redemption fee in other circumstances in
its discretion.
III. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SHOULD BE ADDED BEFORE THE THIRD PARAGRAPH IN THE
SECTION "PAYMENT OF REDEMPTION PROCEEDS" IN THE SHAREHOLDER'S MANUAL:
As discussed under "Exchange Policies," Janus High-Yield Fund will deduct a
redemption fee of 1.00% from your redemption proceeds if you sell shares you
have held 90 days or less. Your shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated
after your order is received in proper form, minus the redemption fee, if
applicable.
IV. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THE FIRST PARAGRAPH
<PAGE>
IN THE SECTION "PRICING OF FUND SHARES" IN THE SHAREHOLDER'S MANUAL:
All purchases, redemptions and exchanges will be processed at the NAV next
calculated after your request is received and accepted by the appropriate Fund
(or the Fund's agent or authorized designee), minus any applicable redemption
fee.
