Ladies and Gentlemen:

As you know, Section 5 of our Investment Advisory Agreement provides for compensation payable to Janus Henderson Investors US LLC (the “Adviser”) with respect to the funds listed in Schedule A (collectively, the “Funds” and each, a “Fund”). This letter is to inform you that the Adviser will waive all or a portion of its management fee (or otherwise reimburse/waive class specific expenses), as applicable, for a one-year term commencing on the effective date of the annual update to the Funds’ registration statement for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, under the following conditions:

For all Funds except the Global Asset Allocation Funds, Janus Henderson Developed World Bond Fund, and Janus Henderson Government Money Market Fund:

In the event the operating expenses allocated to any class of the Fund, including the amount payable to the Adviser pursuant to Section 5 of the Investment Advisory Agreement, for any fiscal year ending on a date on which this Agreement is in effect, exceed the percentage of average daily net assets set forth in Schedule A, the Adviser shall reduce its fee payable with respect to the Fund by the extent of such excess, and/or shall reimburse the Fund (or class as applicable) by the amount of such excess; provided, however, there shall be excluded from such expenses the fees payable by a share class of the Fund pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 Plan; shareholder servicing fees, out-of-pocket transfer agency/shareholder servicing costs, including networking/omnibus/shareholder servicing fees payable by any share class; the “Performance Adjustment” if the Fund has a performance-based investment advisory fee; as well as the amount of any items not normally considered operating expenses such as acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, dividends, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses (including, but not limited to, legal claims and liabilities and litigation costs, and any indemnification related thereto), paid or payable by the Fund. Operating expenses shall be calculated net of balance credits and similar offset arrangements (excluding any directed brokerage arrangements). Whenever the expenses allocated to any class of the Fund exceed a pro rata portion of the applicable annual expense limitations, the estimated amount of reimbursement under such limitations shall be offset against the monthly payment of the fee due to the Adviser and/or by the Adviser to the Fund (or applicable class). The waiver or reimbursement shall be allocated to each class of the Fund in the same manner as the underlying expenses or fees were allocated.


For the Global Asset Allocation Funds:

In the event the operating expenses allocated to any class of the Fund (excluding the expenses of any underlying fund), including the amount payable to the Adviser pursuant to Section 5 of the Investment Advisory Agreement, for any fiscal year ending on a date on which this Agreement is in effect, exceed the percentage of average daily net assets set forth in Schedule A, the Adviser shall reduce its fee payable with respect to the Fund by the extent of such excess, and/or shall reimburse the Fund (or class as applicable) by the amount of such excess; provided, however, there shall be excluded from such expenses the fees payable by a share class of the Fund pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 Plan; shareholder servicing fees, out-of-pocket transfer agency/shareholder servicing costs, including networking/omnibus/shareholder servicing fees payable by any share class; the “Performance Adjustment” if the Fund has a performance-based investment advisory fee; as well as the amount of any items not normally considered operating expenses such as acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, dividends, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses (including, but not limited to, legal claims and liabilities and litigation costs, and any indemnification related thereto), paid or payable by the Fund. Operating expenses shall be calculated net of balance credits and similar offset arrangements (excluding any directed brokerage arrangements). Whenever the expenses allocated to any class of the Fund exceed a pro rata portion of the applicable annual expense limitations, the estimated amount of reimbursement under such limitations shall be offset against the monthly payment of the fee due to the Adviser and/or by the Adviser to the Fund (or applicable class). The waiver or reimbursement shall be allocated to each class of the Fund in the same manner as the underlying expenses or fees were allocated.

For Janus Henderson Developed World Bond Fund:

In the event the operating expenses allocated to any class of the Fund, including the amount payable to the Adviser pursuant to Section 5 of the Investment Advisory Agreement, for any fiscal year ending on a date on which this Agreement is in effect, exceed the percentage of average daily net assets set forth in Schedule A, the Adviser shall reduce its fee payable with respect to the Fund by the extent of such excess, and/or shall reimburse the Fund (or class as applicable) by the amount of such excess; provided, however, there shall be excluded from such expenses the fees payable by a share class of the Fund pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 Plan; shareholder servicing fees (but excluding out-of-pocket transfer agency/shareholder servicing costs, including networking/omnibus/shareholder servicing fees); the “Performance Adjustment” if the Fund has a performance-based investment advisory fee; as well as the amount of any items not normally considered operating expenses such as acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, dividends, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses (including, but not limited to, legal claims and liabilities and litigation costs, and any indemnification related thereto), paid or payable by the Fund. Operating expenses shall be calculated net of balance credits and similar offset arrangements (excluding any directed brokerage arrangements). Whenever the expenses allocated to any class of the Fund exceed a pro rata portion of the applicable annual expense limitations, the estimated amount of reimbursement under such limitations shall be offset against the monthly payment of the fee due to the Adviser and/or by the Adviser to the Fund (or applicable class). The waiver or reimbursement shall be allocated to each class of the Fund in the same manner as the underlying expenses or fees were allocated.
