The FEE TABLE on page 6 of the prospectus is amended to add the following tables
after the tables for "Fidelity VIP Portfolio Annual Expenses."

Janus Aspen Series Annual Expenses
(as a percentage of Janus Aspen Series' average net assets)

                      Janus Aspen Worldwide Growth Portfolio
Management Fee        .66%

Other Expenses        .08%

Total Expenses:       .74%1

1 Management  fees for this Portfolio  reflect a reduced fee schedule  effective
July 1, 1997. The management fee for the Portfolio reflects the new rate applied
to net assets as of December  31,  1997.  Other  expenses are based on the gross
expenses of the shares before  expense offset  arrangements  for the fiscal year
ended  December 31, 1997. The  information is net of fee reductions  from Janus.
Fee reductions reduce the management fee to the level of the corresponding Janus
Retail fund.  Without such  reductions,  the Management  Fee, Other Expenses and
Total  Expenses  would have been  .72%,  .09% and .81%  respectively.  Janus may
modify or terminate the fee reductions at any time upon at least 90 days' notice
to the Portfolio's Trustees.
