ACTION ALIAX.;ATI(.)NS
37. 'Plaintiff brings this class action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 on
behal lot. all persons or entities who purchased iind/or sold shares or other ownership units of one
inore mutual funds in the Janus or Putnam famil y of mutual finids, between Ni.ivember I. 199;
July 3, 200,3 and, as a result of defendants' conduct, were damaged. Excluded from the Class are
alefendants, members of their immediate familiesInd their legal representatives, heirs, successors or
assigns and any entity in which defendants have or had a controlling interest (the "(..lass"). Plaintiff'
and each of the Class members purchased shares or other ownership units in the Ji r intis or Putnam
family of mutual funds pursuant to a registratior statement and prospectus.
3. The Class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable. While the-
exact number of Class members is unkno+Am to plaintiff il this time inil ean only he inicertained
iihromi,i) proper discovery, plaintiff believes theri.. „lie hundreds of thousimdi, ot nieinhers
.ii-iroposcd Class. Record owners mid other Class moinbers may be identified from records maintained
by the funds' administrators and may be notified o I the pendency of this action by mail, .using, the
form of notice that is regularly used in securities class actions.
- 7 -
39. Plaintiff's claims are typical of the claims of the Class members as all Class members
are similarly affected by defendants wrongful conduct in violation of .federal law that is complained
of herein.
40. Plainti .ff will .fairly and adequately protect the interests of the CAMS members and has
retained counsel competent and experienced in class and sccuritieslitigation.
41. Common questions of hiw niet exist as to all Class metubers and predominate •
o'er any questions solely affecting Individual Class members. Among the common questions of law
and fact are:
(a) whether defendants implemented the nianipulative devices or engaged in the •
wrongful scheme alleged herein;
(.1:) Nvhether defilickInts' statements orriitu:‘d material facts necessary to make the
statements 'flack:, in light or the ciletanstances under which they wer,: rnadc, ot misleading;
(. 0 whether defendants misrepresented inaterial facts;
(d) whether the Exchange Act or the Securities At was violated by defendants'
acts as alleged herein;
(e) whether defendants knew or recklessly disregarded that dos statements or
omissions made by them vere .talse and misleading;
(1) whether the value oftlic hinds shares were artificially distorted by defendants'
ict.s; and
(.0 the extent of damage sustained by Class members and the appropriate measure
of damages.
4 2 . A class action is superior to all other available methods for the fair and efficient
tidjudication of this controversy since joinder of all members is inapracticable. Further, as the
•
.„8
darnages suffered by individual Class members may be relatively small, the expense and burden of
individual litigation make it virtually impossible for Class members to individually redress the
\vrongs done to them. There will be no difficulty in managing this action as a class action..
DEFENDANTS SCHEIVIE AND 11ZAIMULEN1' COURSE OF BUSINESS

43.4utual funds, including the Janus or Putnam family ofiruitual finhk, are meant to be
long-term investments and arc therefore the favored savings vehicles for many Americans'
retirement and college fui• als. ilowever, unknown to investors, from at least as early as 'November 1,
1998 and until July 3, 2003, defendants engaged in a fraudulent and wrongful course of business that

For themselves and their affiliates to the detriment (.it' plaintiff and other Class members who knew
nothing of these illicit arrangements.
Mutual Fund Timing
14. "Timing" is an arbitrage strategy involving short . -term trading that ean be used to
profit from the process mutual funds use to calculate the value of securities held in the funds'
portfolios, which may not necessardv reflect the fair value 01 51(11 sceurities is ile Ch yle the net
asset value ("NAV") is calculated. A typical example is a 11.S. mutual fund that holds Japanese
securities. Because of the time zone difference, the Japanese market may close at 2 a.m. New York
time. If the U.S. mutual fund manager uses the closing prices of the Japanese securities in his fund
to arrive at an NAY at p.m. in New York, he or she is relying ori market information that is
fourteen hours old. If there have been positive market moves during the New loth tradi •ng day that
will cause the Japanese market to rise when it later opens, the stale Japanese prices will not 'reflect
them, and the fund's •NAV will be artificially low. Thus, the NAV would not reflect the true current •
market value of the stocks the fund holds. This and sinnlar strategies are known as international
tinid arbitrage.
45. .Effective timing captures an arbitrage profit that conies dollar-for-dollar out of the
pockets of the long-term investors. The timer steps in at the last moment and takes part °V ale buy-
and-hold investors upside when the market goes up, so the next day's NAV is reduced for those
who are still in the fund. Mho timer sells short on had days (as certain of the Fund Timers did) the
arbitrage has the effect ofmtiking the next day's N AV lower than it would otlierwise have been, thus •
niagnifying the losses that investors arc experiencing in a declining market
46. II3esides the wealth iiaiistci if arbitrage (called "dilution"), ihe Fund 'rimers tilso
harmed their target kinds in a number of other ways. They impose their transaction costs 00 the
long-term investors, Irides necessitated by lime[redemptions can also result in die realization 01
taxable capital gains at an undesirable time, or may result in managers having to sell stock into a
falling market.
47. It is widely i.icknowle(Iged that timing inures to the detriment of long-term mutual
fund shareholders and, because of this detrimental effect, fund prospectuses generally state that
timing is monitored and that the Janus Fund ind Putnam Fund defeniliints worked to prevent
These statemenis were maierially false and misleading because, tiOt only did the taints i'und
Putnam Fund defendants and Bear Stearns allow the Fund 'rimers to time their trades, they actively • .
facilitated the .timing arbitra g e strategy and sought to profit and did pro t from it.
The Public Disclosure of Some of Defendants" Fraudulent . Conduct
48. On September 3, 2003, New York. Attorney General Eliot Spitzer filed a complaint in
New York Supreme Court that began to expose some of the .fraudulent and manipulative conduct
- 10 -
•
alleged herein (the "Spitzer Complaint"). The Spitzer Complaint charged Millennimn and the
Canary defendai its with fraud in connection w i ththe unlawful practices al le,ged herein and exposed
'some of the fraudulent and manipulative practices charged herein with the particularity that had
resulted from a full-scale confidential investigation.
49. The Spitzer Corriplaim alleged, with regard to the misconduct alleged herein as
•follows, t.imong other things:
•- •
Managing the extensive timing activity in its hinds became difficult ior Janus. .In early June, 2003, it began to consider tidopting a consistent policy on market •timing. Discussion concerning development of such a policy was opened up to.eertain Janus employees. Comments included:
• "Our stated policy is that we do not tolerate timers. As such, wewon't actively seek timers, but when pressed and when we believeallowing a lirnited/controllcd amount of . timing activity x•vill be in.f('.(i's best interests (increased profitability to Mc firm) \\• . c. will makeexceptions under these parameters." (JC(1 000605)
• "My own personal recommendation is not to allow timing, II erio
and .follow the prospectus._ [T]iincrs ciften hide multiple accountsand move on the same day which could hurt other investors andenrage the Pins.... I don't think the static assets that we [night be ableto hold onto are worth the potential headaches, nor does this fall intoour 'narrow and deep' focus. I suggest We maintain the timingagreements we have, but allow no more." (.ICG 000569-570)
• "[I]l we are going to allow timing, we want to be sure .that there areenough static assets [Le., 'sticky' assets] so that we are .rnaking adecent profit for all the trouble we are put through." (.IC0 000569).
50. 'Fhe Spitzer l.lomplaint ;: illeged that the Canarn. / defendants entered into agreements
with numerous mutual fund families allowing them to time rnany different mutual funds. Typically, .
the C'tinary defendants would enter into agreements with the fund managers of the funds targeted for
timing •-- often international and equity -funds offering time zone or liquidity arbitrage. The Canary
'defendants would move the timing money quickly between the funds and to a "resting place" in a
moneyinarket or sirnilar fund in the same .1und Ilunily. By keeping the inoney often many millions
- 11 -
of dollars — in the fund family, the (it'.antiry defendants assured the manager that he or she would
collect management and other fees on the amount whetlier it was in the target fund, the resting fund
or 'moving in between. In addition, sometimes die manager would waive any applicable redemption
fees. By doing so, the manager could, and did, directly deprive the fund or money that- would have
'partially reimbursed the fund tor the impact of trading.
51. On September 4, 2003, The Wall StreLl 101117(0/ reported that the Canary defendants
liad settled the charges against Mem, agreeing to pay a $10 million fine and $30 million in
restitution:
Edward Stern ... finds himself at the center of a s‘veq)ing investiorion intoihe nunual-rtind industry i .ilter paying a total of $40 million to ;m L' ille g al -tradingcharges made by the New York state Attorney (ieneral's Office. Aceording to thesettlement, Mr. Stern's hedge fund, called Canary Capital Partners 1.1.C, allegedlyobtained special irading opportunities with leading mutual- fund Lin-tines- includingBank of America Corp.'s Nations builds, 1'1ttnk Corp., Janus (...%tpitttil (lamp Inc.timi Strong Capital 111anagement Inc. hy promising to make Slibtitarltlalin various funds managed by these institutions.
'the article indicated that the fraudulent prat,ttices enumerated in the Spitzcr Complaint were just the
tip of Me iceberg, stating as follows:
In a statement, 1'1r. Spitzer said "the full extent (if this (a:implicated fraud isnot yet known," but he asserted that "the mutual-fund industry operates on a doublestandard" in ‘vhiclicertain traders "have been given the opportunity to manipulate thesystem. They make illegal after-hours trades and improperly eN.ploit market swingsin ways that harm ordinary long-term investors,"
On September 5'. 2003. 710 IVoll S'rrcct.lou,71a1 reporud iIa meNci.v York .A.tiorney
(2eneral's ()like had subpoenaed "a large number of hedge funds" and imanal funds as part of its
investigation, "underscoring concern among investors that the improper trading, of mutual-fund
shares could be widespread" and that the srA:, joining the investigation, plans to send letters to
mutual fluids ludding about 75% of assets under management in the, U.S. to inquire iibout their .
practices with respect to market-timitig and hind•trading practices.
- 12 -
53. On or about October 3, 2003, The frail Street Journal reported that Merrill Lynch had
fired three brokers who helped Millennium .ietively trade mutual fundS. The brokers assisted
Millennium in timing certain mutual funcls, violating terms or those funds,
54. Also on October 3, 2003, 'The EVall Street „internal reported tliat Steven Markovitz of
Millennium pleaded guilty to illegal late trading of mutual fund shares. The article stated:
"En his plea, Mr. Markovitz acknowledged that between late 2001 and July 2003, heplaced orders On behalf of Millennium to buy arid sell Shares of mutual ,frinds. afterthe 4 p.m, Eastern time stock-market close hut at 4 p.m. prices."
The article reported that "Millennium, which manages about $4 billion in assets, made at least $200
million in profit trading mutual funds in just the past three years." The Thill ,S'ireet lautnal also
reported thin Citigroup Inc .'s Smith Barney brokertige unit fired a broker for improperly canceling
mutual fund orders between 4 and 4:15 p.nr, a fOrm of late trading.
Bear Stearns' internal Mutual Fund Routing Systems
55 Bear Stearns created an electronic !outing system for mutual fund purchasers. Bear
Steams provided its electronic routing system to othcr broker-dealers, for their customers, and
directly to their clients (including the Fund Timers) who either entered orders themselves or used a
salesman. Bear Stearns' electronic routing system enabled the Find Timers to enter orders for
mutual funds into a computerized routing system Rill by Bent Stearns. For example, the Cantu v
defendants, Empire and Millenniitin used Bear Stearns' electi °Mc routing, system to time mutual
funds.
56. Under SEC rules, nu it nal filial trades made after 4 psn..Lastern time must be executed
at the next day's price.
7. Using these electronic routing systems enabled the Fund Timers to enter and execute
mituaI fund trades after the 4 p.m. market close. In fact, Rear Steams enabled certain Fund Timers
to enter mutual fund orders through their electronic routing system up until 8 on FS'I. Rear
- 1 3 -
Stearns would route these after-hour orders for execution at the 4 p.m. closing NAV price for the
particular mutual fund. Bear Stearns also assisted the Fund Timers Enid other broker-dealers in
routing mutual fund orders fbr execution at the previous day's NAV price,
58. Bear Stearns would Edso assist the Fund Timers in canceling orders made through
. their electronic routing systems or the phones tit or after the dose of U.S. markets or even the
follow/Mg day. Material news events miade public after the close of1J.S, nun-Lets would prompt: the
Fund Timers to call Bear Stearns, who would assist them in canceling their previous mutual fund
orders. The Fund Timers would then use the elect faille routing systems or the phones to enter new • •
order(s), after the announcement of the material news. Hear Stearns would then route the new
orders for execution at the 4 p.m. closing NAV price
Rear Stearns created its electronic routing systems kyimont any requirement .
safeguard for a pre-determined cut-off time for mutual hind orders. However, within the last month,
as news of these illegal mutual fund trading practices began to surtiice, Bear Stearns changed its
electronic routing system to a 4 pin. .EST cut-off nine for all orders.
Sticky Money Agreements
60. To generate tUrther financial gain in assisting the Fund Timers, the Janus Fund and
Putnam Fund defendants often entered into "sticky money" Eigreements. Once threatc .ned with . ,
losint_,, capacity to trade 00 any particular fund, Fund Timers (-7ould enter into sticky money
agreements with the Janus Fund and Putnam Fund dcd .enclants These siietcy agrcements were
0 compromise, where the Janus Fund and Putnam Fund defendants permitted select investors to
continue engaging in timing in a particular fund in exchange fir a promised longer-term investment
in a different fund. These were typically long-term investments made not in the mutual fund in
which the tiining activity was permitted, but in one of Janus's or Putnam's other funds cm. financial
'4-
vehicles (e.g., a bond fund or a hedge fund run by the manager) that assured a steady flow of fees to
the Janus Fund and Putnam Fund defendants.
61.. For example, a Janus or Putnam fund might. provide a Bear Stearns' Fund Timer
client with the ability to trade a certain dollar amount in fund A, in exchange .16r an investrnont of (x)
dollars in fund 13 for (y) amount of time. After entering into a sticky money agreement, the Fund
Timers and/or the Janus Fund or Putnam Fund de:fondants would generally contact Bear Stearns to
.inform them of the arrangernent and request Mat Bear Stearns reinstate or permit the Fund Timer
client to resunte trading in the particular fund.
62. In exchange for the right to contini ie timing, which Ithrt plaintiff and other Class
members by artificially and materially depressing the ‘qilue of the mutual funds, the Fund Timers
iigreed with the Janus Fund or Putnam hind de fondants to park substantial iissets 111 the funds.,
thereby increasing the total assets under management and the lees pLnd thereon, The synergy.
between the jantis Fuud or Putnam Fund defendants and the Fund 'rimers hinged On the ordinary
investors' misplaced trust in the integrity id - mutual fund companies and allowed defendants to profit
handsomely at the expense of plaintiff and other Class members. •
Opening Multiple Accounts or Cloning
63. Bear Stearns routinely used multiple i •ii.!courits or "cloning" to directly assist and hide
the illegal mutual fund trading activities of their Fund Timer clients, 11 .: e roptla: fu lli d Timers'
illegal Activities, Bear Stoaros w • ould clone or creatc •trading i •tecouras (soinctime:-; h(Indreds)
Tor the Fund Timcrs. Thc: Fund Timers could then breakup and channel rriultiple trades to a
particular mutual fund through different accounts incl thereby hide their illegal activities.
64. Through cloning, multiple accounts .for a single client, Boar Stearns substantially
reduced the chance that a particular fund manager could identify individual Fund Timers or .prohibit
their illcg il ictivities. Since .mutwil finals identify individual ti ids by iecount nurnbc,-T only ...,...
- 1 -
cloning masked the true number and amount of trades a single Fund Timer executed in . a particular
mutual fund. The creation of multiple accounts benefited Bear Sfearns..by generating additional
trades and commissions by the Fund Timers.
65. Certain Fund Timers, who were also broker-dealers, were known to take client trades
and execute them through their own firm accounts. For example, Empire would route certain client
trades to Bear Steuns through 'Empire's own firm account. Bear Stearns permitted Eimpire tO route
and execute these mutual fund trades using their own firm accounts without having to put up the

accounts. Depending on the outcome (profitability) of the trade, Empire might keep any profit
realized (providing an excuse to its client as 10 whv lih: (lade did not execute) 01 pass through a loss
to the chem. For profitable broker-dealer accounts, like Empire, Hear :;,tearrls would look. the other
way.
.Creative Banking and Leveraging Practices
66, Bear Stearns also engaged in other unlawful business practices to assist Fund Timers
in circumventing Regulation T, 12 C.F.R. §220.1, et .vect, and "seasoning" prohibitions. Seasoning
prevents timers trom purchasing mutual .funds on margin within the first 30 days of Lill initial
Iransaction in a particular fund. Every new mutual fund purchase is subject to seasoning.
Regulation T mandates a maximum leverage ror trading on margin. To circumvent seasoning
requirements and Regulation T and to CaiciaIrapf: alarket tiliIin act ivitic::;, Bear SLearii: offered Fiald
'rimers offshore loan services.
67. The offshore loan services generally worked in the following manner. An offshore
biink branch of Bear Stearns would open im off shore iiccount in the U.S. .forfst Fund Timer that had
pre-established offshore account( s) or presence. Using its offshore offices', Bear Stearns would then
open an offshore foreign account in the same name,. The offshore 0.1fice o iI3ear Stearns would lend ..
- 16-
•• oney to the Funcl Timer's offshore foreign accomit. Assets limn the Fund Tinier's offshore •threign
'ilecount were then transferred to the Fund Timer's offshore account in the U.S by Bear Steams. The
monies lent from Bear Stearns' offshore bank branch enabled the Fund Timer to pay for mutual •ffind
purchases and leverage its purchases before seasoning at ratios far greater than otherwise
permissible. Bear Stearns used its London and Dublin oflice,s to engage • in this type of croative
banking and leveraging.
In another form of creative, leveraging, Bear Stearns would enter into contractual
agreements with Fund 'lit-viers and third-party broker dealers to leverage Fund Timers' accounts and
subsequent purchases by arrangitig loans from the third-party broker-dealers. Fund Timers took the
loans from the third-party 'broker dealers and transferred the money 10 fiear Stearns to take
advantage of additional capacity to time animal Moil purchases. Hear Ste:trns not only guaranteed
the loan assets to the third-pai ty broker-dealer but, at nines ; would also further margin the loan
account. In essence, Fund TialeTS got loans from Bear Steams and other broker-dealers to conduct
their illegal trading activities without putting any of their own money ;:it "risk.,"
69. Bear Steams and the broker-dcalers entered into these banking relationslaps with the
Fund Timers in order to generate additional commissions, 12(b)(1) foes tis described below),
banking .fees and asset management fi•es.
'Materially False and Misleading Prospectuses
70. Prior to ilIVCAIIIL2, n Illy flirah, including those under Me otahc.lantii.1
Fund and Putnarn Fund defendants, plaint.f.'arn. each member of the Class were entitled to and did
receive a prospectus, which contained substantially the same materially false and misleading
statements regarding the Janus Fund and Putnam Fund defendants' policies 00 timed trading.
71. The prospectuses falsely stated that the ,limus Fund and Putnam Fund defendants
actively safeguarded shareholders from the harafftil effects of timing. For example, in language that
-- 17 -
. .
typically appeared in the prospectuses, the February 28, 2003 taints Fund Prospectus acknowledged .•
that "market tuning" is harmful to shareholdersInd represented that the fund deters the pra.ctice, .
s'tating as kdlows:
You may make four exchanges out of a Janus fund (exclusive 0 f SystematicExchanges) per 12 month period. These limits are designed to deter short-termtrading. See our Excessive Trading Policy below for more information.
4,
EXCESSIVE TRADING POLICY
Frequent trades in your account or accounts controlled by you can disruptportfolio investment strategies and increase Fund expenses for all Fund shareholders.The Fund is not intended for market timing or excessive trading. To deter theseactivities, the Fund or its agents may temporarily or permanently suspend or .
terminate exchange privileges of any investor wlio makes more than four exchangesout of the Fund in a calendar year and bar litture purchases into the Fund by suchinvestor, in addition, the Fund or its a gents also may reject any purchase ordors(includinL,t. exchange purchases) by any investor or group of investors ....
In an cfthrt to discourage frequent tradin g , mutual funds typically impose penaltie,s
(redemption fees) on shareholders deeined to be engaged in timing and other harmful activities. In
this regard, the prospectuses typically contained the following warning:
INVOIAiNTARY REDEMPTIONS
The Fund reserves the right to close an account if the shareholder is deemedto engage in activities which iire iliegal Or otherwise believed to he detrimental to theFund, such as market timing.
73 The prospectuses faIlLd to disclos(.. and inisci..!prea'aited the follm.Ying material and
•adverse faCt6. .
(a) that theta-tuts Fund and Putnam Fund defendants hademereil 111(0 agreements
i'dlowing the Fund 'liner defendants to time their trading, of the funds' shares;
(b) th•t', pursuant to those agreements, the Fund Timers regularly timed their
trading in the funds' shares-,
- 18 --
(.0 that, contrary to the express representations in the prospectuses, the Janus
Fund arid Putnam Fund defendants enforced their policy against frequent traders selectively, 1. t.,
they did not enforce it against known Fund Timers and, at times, waived the ivdernption fees, at the
.finids investors expense, which the Fund Timers should have been required to pay, pursuant to the
Finds' stated policies;
(d) that the Janus Fund and Pulliam Fund defendants re.gu lady allowed the Fund
'linters to engage in trades that were disrupme to the efficient management of the funds andfor
.increased the funds' costs and thereby reduced the funds' actual performance: and
( c ) the prospectuses falsely represented the ainottut rif compensation paid by lite
.firnds to the J;iinus Fund and Putnam Fund defendants because their secret agreen tents with the Fund .
Timer defendants provided additional undisclosil compensation to the Janus Fund and Putnam Fund
Liefendants paid by the hinds and their vesper:1r shareholders,
Additional Scienter Allegations
7 z1. Bear Steams generated substantial revenues and profits .froin participating in the
illegal conduct of the Fund Timers. Bear Stearns collected a commission on each trade executed by
one of its Fund Timer clients. In certain circumstances., Bear Stearns also imposed an asset
management fee of approximately l u/o per year oil tile total amount of Fund funer client assets.
Bear Steams also received money frorn the, Janus Fund ind Putnam Fund defendants based on the
total assets Rear Stearns directed to a particular fund over a period ()lone year These are generally
known in the industry as 12(b)(1) fees. Many of' the Janus Fund and Putnam Fund defendants
involved also directed their institutional purchases and sales (order flow) to Bear Stearns, generating
further commissions. Bear Steams also charged banking fees to Fund Timers (in margin and those
involved in exotic bank lending deals.

75. As alleged herein, defendants acted with scienter in that defendants knew that the
public documents and statements issued or disseminated in the narne of the funds were materially

alleged ['event, the Janus Fund and Putnam Fund defendants, among other things, received increased
management fees and other hidden compensation paid in the form °Initiated interest payments on
loans to the Fund Timer defendants. For example, tile following equail exchange 1...)etween Richard
Garland, CF(...) of Janus International, ""nd an employee raising concerns rcgarding tuned ti-ade",
demonstrates that defendants knew that the practice was both widespread and prohibited, but were
unwilling to end it because it was profitable for them:
