Janus Fund is closed to new investors effective September 13, 2000. Unless you
are one of the investors listed below, you may not invest in the Fund after the
close of business on September 12, 2000.
You may continue to purchase Fund shares through your existing Fund account and
to reinvest dividends and capital gains in the Fund if you are:
- A current Fund shareholder;
- A discretionary investment adviser investing through an existing account at a
financial intermediary; or
- A financial institution and/or intermediary that currently has a contractual
agreement with Janus to offer the Fund to qualified defined contribution
retirement plans (for example, 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, or money
purchase pension plans), 403(b) plans, or 457 plans.
Although the Fund is generally closed to new investors, you may open a new Fund
account if:
- Your name appears in the registration of an existing Fund account and will
also appear in the registration of the new Fund account;
- You are an employee, or a relative living in the same household as an
employee, of Janus Capital Corporation or one of its subsidiaries and you open
your account directly with Janus;
- You are a discretionary investment adviser with existing Fund accounts; or
- You are a participant in a qualified defined contribution retirement plan that
offers the Fund as an investment option.
Except as otherwise noted, these restrictions apply to investments made directly
with Janus and investments made through financial institutions and/or
intermediaries. Once an account is closed, additional investments will not be
accepted unless you are one of the investors listed above. Investors may be
required to demonstrate eligibility to purchase shares of the Fund before an
investment is accepted. The Fund may resume sales of shares to new investors at
some future date, but it has no present intention to do so.
