Concerned About Managing Equity Drawdown Risk?Leverage the Virtues of the VIX®

When investors have needed it most, the benefi ts of diversifi cation have largely failed them. In severe market downturns, most asset classes have become considerably more correlated, creating large drawdowns for portfolios.

The issue of drawdown risk is on the minds of investors again as the long-term bull run in U.S. equity markets has shown signs of faltering. Investors may be better prepared by fi nding investments that are less correlated to equities and offer potentially better downside mitigation.

The inception date of SPXHID and TRSKID is 4/30/12. Any performance prior to the date of index inception is hypothetical. All performance data prior to this date represents pre-inception index performance data (“PIP”) and is refl ected in the top chart. Actual performance is refl ected in the bottom chart. PIP data shown is net of fees. Pre-Inception index performance (PIP) results are based on criteria applied retroactively with the benefi t of hindsight and knowledge of factors that may have positively affected its performance, and cannot account for all fi nancial risk that may affect the actual performance of the ETF(s). The actual performance of the ETF may vary signifi cantly from the PIP data. In addition, PIP does not account for factors such as transaction costs, liquidity and other market factors. Had these factors been accounted for, actual performance would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Don’t Try This at Home: Direct Investment in VIX Futures Has DrawbacksWhile the VIX is inversely correlated to equities, the index itself is not investable. Investors can seek a similar negative correlation to equities by investing in VIX futures, but this hedge comes at far too high a price. The negative return associated with buying new, longer-dated VIX futures as more current futures expire overwhelms the value of the negative correlation. The complexity of day-to-day management of a portfolio of futures is also burdensome for many investors.

Access the VIX’s Negative Correlation to Stocks, Avoid the Drag of a Futures PortfolioA systematic strategy that can take advantage of the VIX’s inverse relationship to equities but avoid the high cost of constantly maintaining a portfolio of futures could protect investors from drawdown risk, while sacrifi cing less of their total returns. Custom indicies have been created that employ this strategy.These indices combine broad exposure to the S&P 500 to capture equity markets’ upside with a volatility component that seeks to take advantage of the VIX’s negative correlation to equity markets during equity sell-offs.

The more the equity market deteriorated, the more these strategies outperformed

Role In A Diversifi ed Portfolio

By dynamically shifting between long and short exposure to VIX futures, the volatility component can take a larger long position in VIX futures when the VIX spikes, providing a hedge against equities when investors need it most. The volatility component can then adjust to have a short exposure to VIX futures in less volatile periods, eliminating the drag VIX futures exposures have in the prolonged periods between spikes in volatility.

Janus’ Hedged Equity ETFs, SPXH and TRSK, Offer This Solution in a Low-Cost Investment VehicleJanus Hedged Equity ETFs offer a low-cost solution to access the custom indices that are designed to optimally capture the VIX’s negative correlation to equities. The effective implementation of each ETF ultimately depends on the goals and concerns of the individual investor. Both ETFs seek to dampen portfolio drawdowns during a downturn. However, SPXH is designed to provide greater participation when equity markets rally, and in turn, offers less downside mitigation than Janus’ other Hedged Equity ETF, TRSK. Meanwhile, TRSK aims to provide better downside mitigation during sell-offs, but will likely have a lower total return over longer time horizons.

FUND OBJECTIVES: SPXH and TRSK seek investment results that correspond generally, before fees and expenses, to the performance of their underlying index, the VelocityShares Volatility Hedged Large Cap Index and VelocityShares Tail Risk Hedged Large Cap Index, respectively. They pursue their investment objective by investing assets in the underlying large cap ETFs and swaps linked to the performance of the underlying volatility ETFs rather than investing directly in stocks, bonds, cash or other investments.

There are risks involved with investing, including possible loss of principal. Performance depends upon the investment performance of the underlying index ETFs in which they invest. Cleared and over-the-counter swap agreements are used in addition to other derivatives to obtain exposure to these underlying volatility ETFs. SPXH and TRSK are subject to risks similar to those of stocks including those regarding short selling and margin account maintenance.

Derivatives may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments. This could result in losses that signifi cantly exceed the original investment.

Diversifi cation does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses.

ETF shares are not individually redeemable and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Fund and tender those shares for redemption to the Fund in Creation Units only.

Prior to 10/4/11, the volatility ETFs used in the indices did not exist. Index calculations for these equity components are computed based off a similar exposure directly to VIX Futures, and therefore do not refl ect the management fees of the volatility ETFs among other differences for the period prior to 10/4/11. Had the volatility ETFs been available prior to 10/4/11, the PIP data would likely have been lower.
