Janus Capital Group was created as a result of the January 1, 2003, merger of Janus Capital Corporation into its parent company, Stilwell Financial Inc. Janus Capital Group consists of Janus Capital Management LLC and Enhanced Investment Technologies, LLC (INTECH). Janus Capital Group also owns 30% of Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell and Company, LLC.

Below are information about company subsidiaries:

Janus Capital Management LLC
Janus Capital Management is one of the largest equity managers in the U.S. For more than three decades the Denver-based firm has used a bottom-up, company-by-company investment approach based on the conviction that stock prices ultimately follow earnings growth. In addition to growth, core and international equity funds, Janus offers balanced, specialty fixed-income and money market funds. Janus Capital Management is a wholly owned subsidiary.

INTECH
Enhanced Investment Technologies, LLC has managed institutional portfolios since 1987, establishing one of the industry's longest continuous records of mathematically driven equity investing strategies.
INTECH's unique investment process is based on a mathematical theory that attempts to capitalize on the random nature of stock price movements. The goal is to achieve long-term returns that outperform a passive index, while controlling risks and trading costs. Located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, INTECH manages assets for large institutions and endowments. Janus Capital Management has a majority ownership stake in INTECH.

Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell and Company
Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell and Company is an asset management firm with a 22-year value investing track record. Through a combination of industry experience, intensive research and careful consideration for risk, the firm has established a reputation for solid performance and capital preservation.
From its Chicago headquarters, Perkins manages small- and mid-cap value mutual funds as well as separate accounts.

At the end of June, 2006, Janus reported $153.4 billion in capital under management.

In 2005, Janus had revenues of $953.1 million and net income of $87.8 million.
