15 INTECH Overview As of 30 September, 2010 Founded on June 30, 1987 Stable investment management team Risk-Managed Mathematical Investment Strategies Risk-Managed Mathematical Investment Strategies: - Core/Enhanced Index - Growth and Value - Global and International - Long/Short Locations: - Global headquarters West Palm Beach, FL - Research Princeton, NJ - International London, UK As of 30 September, 2010, INTECH has approximately $ billion under management Large Cap Value $677.4M Global Core $2.3B Large Cap Core $1.9B Enhanced $22.6B International Equity $641.9M European Equity $1.5M Long/Short $14.8M Large Cap Growth $14.3B An independently managed subsidiary of Janus Capital Group Inc. 15

16 Investment Process Step #1: Initial Investment Universe Benchmark Index Step #2: Stock kscreen Stocks less than 1 basis point in the index are excluded Step #3: Mathematical Process Analyzing relative volatility and correlation, INTECH attempts to build a more efficient portfolio. Robust and resistant statistical techniques are employed using proprietary models. Risk Controls Enhanced dindex Enhanced dplus Large Cap Core Large Cap pgrowth Large Cap Value Global Core International Equity 1% or 8x maximum differential vs. benchmark* Portfolio capitalization constraint 1% or 8x maximum differential vs. benchmark* 2.5% or 10x maximum differential vs. benchmark* 2.5% or 10x maximum differential vs. benchmark* 2% or 8x maximum differential vs. benchmark* 2.5% or 20x maximum differential vs. benchmark* 2.5% or 10x maximum differential vs. benchmark* Beta constraint Beta constraint Beta constraint Beta constraint Beta constraint Beta constraint Market capitalization constraint for non-u.s. portion of portfolio Maximize information ratio Maximize information ratio Maximize information ratio Maximize information ratio Maximize information ratio Maximize information ratio Maximize information ratio U.S. vs. non-u.s. correlation and weight constraint Step #4: More Efficient Portfolio Re-weight the index to a potentially more efficient combination Rebalance and re-optimize periodically * Trading system allows a slightly greater maximum distance around benchmark weights. Portfolio weights may slightly exceed the maximum differential over time due to market action. Risk controls do not promise any level of performance or guarantee against loss of principal. 16

17 How INTECH s Process Captures Relative Volatility PASSIVE PORTFOLIO Passive portfolio produces no net gain. Stocks have volatility, but opportunity to generate excess return has not been captured. 240 $ $ $ % -28.6% INTECH PORTFOLIO INTECH applies its mathematical formula to establish potentially more efficient weights. Dynamic process of maintaining and re-establishing those weights produces the potential excess return. Compound Return = 0%/Period $ $ the potential excess return. $ % Rebalance +25% Compound Return = 25%/Period Criteria for hypothetical illustration: two-stock portfolio, perfect negative correlation, move by a factor of two. Mathematically, a 50%/50% target weighting for a two-stock portfolio with equal growth rates maximizes long-term return. The hypothetical illustrations shown are provided to demonstrate INTECH s trading process and how relative volatility can be captured. Trading costs and other expenses have not been considered. 17

18 How INTECH s Investment Process is Implemented Target weights are determined at optimization. Trading bands around target weights may vary by strategy, stock and through time. Rebalance to target weights regularly only if stock weights move outside designated bands. STOCK WEIGHT Sell Sell Sell Target Weight Stock weight at optimization No trade necessary Buy Begin Rebalance Cycle Trading Day Hypothetical illustration.

Relative downside protection is equally if not more important than upside potential. Tracking error is a measure of how closely a portfolio tracks its index. It is realized in the form of above-average or below-average relative returns. * Gross of fees, annualized long term. Enhanced Plus tracking error is relative to the S&P 500 Index.

33 APPENDIX

34 For Janus and Perkins Composites: Returns are expressed in U.S. dollars. Returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Janus returns are net of transaction costs and gross of non-reclaimable withholding taxes, if any. The gross performance results presented do not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees and returns will be reduced by such advisory fees and other contractual expenses as described in the individual contract and Form ADV Part II. Net performance results do not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees actually charged to the accounts in the composite but they do reflect the deduction of model investment advisory fees based on the maximum fixed fee rate in effect for the respective time period. Actual advisory fees may vary among clients invested in the strategy shown and may be higher or lower than model advisory fees. Composites may include accounts with performance-based fees. Returns for each client will be reduced by such fees and expenses as negotiated in any client contract as discussed in Form ADV Part II. The index returns are provided to represent the investment environment existing during the time periods shown. For comparison purposes, the index is fully invested, which includes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The returns for the index do not include any transaction costs, management fees or other costs. Composition of each individual portfolio may differ from securities in the corresponding benchmark index. The index is used as a performance benchmark only, as Janus does not attempt to replicate an index. Because Janus sector weightings are a residual of portfolio construction, significant differences between sector weightings in client portfolios and the index are common.
