Re: Fund Participation Agreement Dated May 11, 1994, as amended,
between Janus Service Corporation and Aetna Life Insurance and
Annuity Company ("Agreement")
Dear Xx. Xxxxxxxx:
The Securities and Exchange Commission recently made certain revisions to
Form N-1A, the registration statement form filed by mutual funds. One new
provision requires that a fund, or a financial intermediary through which fund
shares may be purchased, send a fund's annual report, semi-annual report and a
statement of additional information by first-class mail or other means designed
to ensure equally prompt delivery within three business days of receipt of the
request for any such document. In. addition, if the Janus Funds begin using
profiles, such delivery requirements shall apply to full statutory prospectuses.
As a financial intermediary through which shares of the Janus Funds are sold,
you are subject to these provisions.
This letter is intended to serve as notice of this new requirement and to
clarify your existing duties under the Agreement. If you need additional
materials for the Janus Funds to facilitate compliance with this requirement,
please do not hesitate to call Janus Institutional at 0-000-000-0000.
To acknowledge your understanding and agreement to deliver requested
documents in accordance with and within the time applicable to the Janus Funds
under current law, please sign the enclosed additional copy of this letter. You
may return the signed copy to my attention in the enclosed postage paid reply
envelope. If we do not receive either a signed copy of the letter of your
written objection by March 19, 1999, we will assume that you have no objection.
Very truly yours,
JANUS SERVICE CORPORATION
