JANUS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC Brochure JANUS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC Brochure March 31, 2021 151 Detroit Street Denver, CO 80206 800.624.5906 www.janushenderson.com This brochure provides information about Janus Capital Management LLC’s (“JCM”) qualifications and business practices for JCM’s advisory clients. The information in this brochure has not been approved or verified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), any state securities authority or any non-U.S. regulatory authority. If you have any questions about the contents of this brochure, please contact us at 303.333.3863. Additional information about JCM is also available on the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. Throughout this brochure and related materials, JCM may refer to itself as “registered” or a “registered investment adviser.” These references do not imply, and are not intended to imply, JCM possesses a certain level of skill or training. Item 2 – Material Changes This brochure replaces the brochure dated March 31, 2020. We updated, corrected and expanded certain information to help you better understand the significant strategies we offer, the risks those significant strategies present, our financial industry affiliations, our proxy voting policies and practices and our efforts to ensure clients are treated fairly. Although there have been clarifying, simplifying and updating edits throughout the brochure, the edits primarily have occurred in the following sections. We do not believe any of these changes to be material: Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss has been updated to align with current methods of analysis and strategy offerings, including material risks related to certain “value” strategies. Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations has been updated to align with relevant affiliation and organizational changes, including the establishing of Janus Henderson Investors (Jersey) Limited and the winding down of and transitioning of responsibilities from certain advisory affiliates. Item 12 – Brokerage Practices has been updated to provide more information regarding trading foreign securities, trading fixed income instruments, unbundling execution and research charges and allocating limited offerings among eligible accounts. Item 17 – Voting Client Securities has been updated to provide more information on how and when pre- populated and/or automatic voting is used as well as how and when supplemental materials provided by issuers and ballot issue sponsors are considered by JCM.

  • Second Draft
    Second Draft Risk, Financial Crises, and Globalization: Long-Term Capital Management and the Sociology of Arbitrage Donald MacKenzie March, 2002 Author’s address: School of Social and Political Studies University of Edinburgh Adam Ferguson Building George Square Edinburgh EH8 9LL Scotland [email protected] Word counts: main text, 16,883 words; notes, 1,657 words; appendix, 142 words; references, 1,400 words. Risk, Financial Crises, and Globalization: Long-Term Capital Management and the Sociology of Arbitrage Abstract Arbitrage is a key process in the practice of financial markets and in their theoretical depiction: it allows markets to be posited as efficient without all investors being assumed to be rational. This article explores the sociology of arbitrage by means of an examination of the arbitrageurs, Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM). It describes LTCM’s roots in the investment bank, Salomon Brothers, and how LTCM conducted arbitrage. LTCM’s 1998 crisis is analyzed using both qualitative, interview-based, data and quantitative examination of price movements. It is suggested that the roots of the crisis lay in an unstable pattern of imitation that had developed in the markets within which LTCM operated. As the resultant “superportfolio” began to unravel, arbitrageurs other than LTCM fled the market, even as arbitrage opportunities became more attractive. The episode reveals limits on the capacity of arbitrage to close price discrepancies; it suggests that processes of imitation can involve professional as well as lay traders; and it lends empirical plausibility to the conjecture that imitation may cause the distinctive “fat tails” of the probability distributions of price changes in the financial markets.
