2 Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Portfolio | | Letter to Shareholders |
Karla M. Rabusch,
President
Wells Fargo Advantage Funds
The period was marked by cautious optimism, as most economic data continued to point toward recovery, albeit a slow and uncertain one.
Dear Valued Shareholder,
We are pleased to provide you with this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder PortfoliosSM for the six-month period that ended November 30, 2010. The period was marked by cautious optimism, as most economic data continued to point toward recovery, albeit a slow and uncertain one. Despite a summer pullback on concerns about a potential sovereign debt crisis in Europe, global stock markets soon recovered and ended the period with solid gains.
Solid economic reports helped support a market rally.
Economic numbers throughout the reporting period supported the case for a slow recovery. Reported real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 1.7% in the second quarter of 2010, and by 2.5% in the third quarter. Even before the reporting period began, most economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal in August 2009 said that, in their opinion, the recession that officially began in December 2007 was now over. This view was confirmed in September 2010, when the National Bureau of Economic Research officially declared that the recession ended in June 2009. A stubbornly high unemployment rate was the main sour note and the primary reason why most analysts believed that the recovery would be gradual. The unemployment rate began the period at 9.5% in June 2010 and ended the period modestly higher at 9.8%.
Although European economic news had earlier supported the moderately positive outlook, in mid-2010 investors became concerned about the possibility that eurozone member Greece would default on its sovereign debt. This concern led to worries about the debt burdens of other member states such as Portugal, Italy, and Spain and caused weakness in the euro. After the eurozone put together a bailout package for Greece and took steps to shore up its banks, investor confidence returned, only to falter again later in the period on renewed worries about the debt situation in Ireland.
Throughout the period, both the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Federal Reserve Board (Fed) kept their key interest rates at low levels (1% for the ECB; effectively zero for the Fed) in order to support the financial system. In November, the Fed announced a second round of monetary stimulus—so called quantitative easing QE2—in which it would purchase $600 billion in long-term U.S. Treasuries until June 2011, as well as reinvest an additional $250 billion to $300 billion in Treasuries with the proceeds of earlier investments. The ECB, meanwhile, continued to provide unlimited liquidity for banks and, in December, announced the purchase of Irish and Portuguese bonds in an attempt to reduce those countries’ borrowing costs.

Letter to Shareholders | | Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Portfolio 3 |
Global stock and bond markets rallied.
Stocks sold off during the middle of the period on concerns about sovereign debt, but soon recovered on hopes of a continued economic recovery. For the period, small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks, as investors bid up shares in companies that stood to gain the most from resumed economic growth. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks, in large part because of weak returns from financials stocks. International large-cap stocks also posted gains for the six-month period.
Within the fixed-income universe, investment-grade bonds again posted gains in large part because of historically low interest rates. High-yield bonds benefited from improved economic conditions and investors’ greater willingness to take on credit risk in exchange for higher yields in a low-yielding environment.
Many variables are at work in the market.
The full effect of the ongoing credit crisis remains unknown. Growing unemployment and debt defaults continue to pressure consumers and businesses alike.
Experience tells us that strict adherence to time-tested strategies has its rewards. As a whole, Wells Fargo Advantage Funds® represents investments across a range of asset classes and investment styles, giving you an opportunity to create a diversified investment portfolio. While diversification may not prevent losses in a downturn, it does provide you with one way of managing risk.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Advantage Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs. For current information about your fund investments, contact your investment professional, visit our website at www.wellsfargo.com/advantagefunds, or call us directly at 1-800-222-8222, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Current month-end performance is available on the Portfolio’s Web site — www.wellsfargo.com/advantagefunds.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For WealthBuilder Portfolio shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 1.50%. Performance including sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period.
Balanced funds may invest in stocks and bonds. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. The Portfolio will indirectly be exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds and will indirectly bear expenses of the underlying funds. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). This Portfolio is exposed to alternative investment risk, foreign investment risk, high-yield securities risk, mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, and small company investment risk. Consult the Portfolio’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

|
4. | | The investment adviser has contractually committed through September 30, 2011 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the Portfolio’s contractual expense ratio at 1.50%, excluding acquired fund fees and certain other expenses. Without these reductions, the Portfolio’s returns would have been lower. |
|
5. | | The WealthBuilder Conservative Allocation Composite Index is weighted 20% in the S&P 500 Index and 80% in the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (includes Treasury issues, agency issues, corporate bond issues, and mortgage-backed securities). You cannot invest directly in an index. |
|
6. | | The S&P 500® Index consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It is a market-value weighted index with each stock’s weight in the index proportionate to its market value. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
|
7. | | The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is composed of the Barclays Capital Government/Credit Index and the Mortgage-Backed Securities Index and includes U.S. Treasury issues, agency issues, corporate bond issues, and mortgage-backed securities. You cannot invest directly in an index. |

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Current month-end performance is available on the Portfolio’s Web site — www.wellsfargo.com/advantagefunds.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For WealthBuilder Portfolio shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 1.50%. Performance including sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period.
Balanced funds may invest in stocks and bonds. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. The Portfolio will indirectly be exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds and will indirectly bear expenses of the underlying funds. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). This Portfolio is exposed to alternative investment risk, foreign investment risk, high-yield securities risk, mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, and small company investment risk. Consult the Portfolio’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

16 Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Portfolio | | Portfolio Expenses |
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees (if any) and exchange fees (if any); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder service fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2010 to November 30, 2010.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” for your applicable portfolio to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio with other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). These financial statements report on the following funds: Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Conservative Allocation Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Conservative Allocation Portfolio”), Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Moderate Balanced Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Moderate Balanced Portfolio”), Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Growth Balanced Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Growth Balanced Portfolio”), Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Growth Allocation Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Growth Allocation Portfolio”), Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Equity Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Equity Portfolio”) and Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio”) (each, a “Portfolio”, collectively, the “Portfolios”). Each Portfolio is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Portfolios seek to achieve their investment objectives by allocating their assets across asset classes of stocks, bonds and money market instruments by investing in a number of affiliated and unaffiliated funds (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds incur separate expenses in seeking to achieve their investment objectives. Investments in affiliated funds may also include investments in one or more separate diversified portfolios (each, a “Master Portfolio”, collectively, the “Master Portfolios”) of Wells Fargo Master Trust, a registered open-end management investment company. Each Master Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities, and a Portfolio investing in a Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. Each Portfolio accounts for its investment in the Master Portfolios as partnership investments and records daily its share of the Master Portfolio’s income, expense and realized and unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements and financial highlights for the Underlying Funds and Master Portfolios are presented in separate financial statements and may be obtained from Wells Fargo Investor Services or from the servicing agent of the unaffiliated Underlying Funds.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Portfolio, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has considered the circumstances under which the Portfolios should recognize or make disclosures regarding events or transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements are issued. Adjustments or additional disclosures, if any, have been included in these financial statements.
Securities valuation
Investments in underlying open-end mutual funds are valued at net asset per share as reported by the Underlying Funds as of the close of the regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading. Investments in the Master Portfolios are valued daily based on each Portfolio’s proportionate share of each Master Portfolio’s net assets, which are also valued daily.
Certain fixed income securities with maturities exceeding 60 days are valued based on available market quotations received from an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees which may utilize both transaction data and market information such as yield, prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. If valuations are not available from the pricing service or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or determined based on the Portfolios’ Fair Value Procedures.
Debt securities of sufficient credit quality with original maturities of 60 days or less generally are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity.
Certain investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above, are valued at their fair value, as determined by procedures established in good faith and approved by the Board of Trustees.
The valuation techniques used by the Portfolios to measure fair value are consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach, where applicable, for each security type.

Futures contracts
Certain Portfolios may be subject to interest rate risk and equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolios may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against changes in, security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Security transactions and income recognition
Income dividends and capital gain distributions from Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions from Underlying Funds are treated as realized gains. Each Portfolio records on a daily basis its proportionate share of each Master Portfolio’s interest and dividend income, in addition to expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses.
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities delivered.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
Each Portfolio’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities.
At May 31, 2010, estimated net capital loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future net realized capital gains, were as follows:

3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Portfolio’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Each Portfolio’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
§ | | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
|
§ | | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
|
§ | | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
As of November 30, 2010, the inputs used in valuing each Portfolio’s assets, which are carried at fair value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
Investment advisory fees
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory contract with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”). The investment adviser is responsible for implementing investment policies and guidelines and for supervising the investment sub-adviser, who is responsible for day-to-day portfolio management of the Portfolios.
Pursuant to the contract, Funds Management is paid an annual investment advisory fee starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.15% as the average daily net assets of each Portfolio increases. For the six months ended November 30, 2010, the investment advisory fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.20% for each Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management may retain the services of certain investment sub-advisers to provide daily portfolio management to the Portfolios. Wells Capital Management, an affiliate of Funds Management, is the investment sub-adviser to the Portfolios. The fees related to investment sub-advisory services are borne directly by the investment adviser and do not increase the overall fees paid by a Portfolio to the investment adviser. The investment sub-adviser is paid an annual investment sub-advisory fee of 0.15% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management also serves as the investment adviser to and is entitled to receive a fee from each Master Portfolio and affiliated Underlying Fund.
Administration and transfer agent fees
The Trust has entered into an Administration Agreement with Funds Management. Under this Agreement, for providing administrative services, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers, Funds Management is entitled to receive from each Portfolio an annual fee starting at 0.33% and declining to 0.31% as the average daily net assets of each Portfolio increases. For the six months ended November 30, 2010, the administration fee for each Portfolio was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.33% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed investment advisory and administration fees during the six months ended November 30, 2010 to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Portfolios.
Distribution fees
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan for each Portfolio pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the principal underwriter of each Portfolio at an annual rate of 0.75% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets.

8. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $125,000,000 revolving credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, whereby the Portfolios are permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to each Portfolio based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, under the credit agreement, the Portfolios pay an annual commitment fee equal to 0.125% of the unused balance, which is allocated pro rata. Prior to September 7, 2010, the annual commitment fee paid by the Portfolios was 0.15% of the unused balance.
For the six months ended November 30, 2010, there were no borrowings by any Portfolio under the agreement.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
10. SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTIONS
On December 20, 2010, the following Portfolios declared distributions from net investment income to shareholders of record on December 29, 2010. The per share amounts payable on December 31, 2010 were as follows:

2 Wells Fargo Advantage Income Funds | | Letter to Shareholders |
| | |
During the six-month period, fixed-income markets largely performed well as yields shifted lower in U.S. Treasuries and credit spreads decreased.
Dear Valued Shareholder,
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Income Funds that covers the six-month period that ended November 30, 2010. During the six-month period, fixed-income markets largely performed well as yields shifted lower in U.S. Treasuries and credit spreads decreased. Some of those trends began to reverse a bit toward the end of the period as intermediate and longer-term U.S. Treasury yields increased in November. However, this retracement in bond valuations in the final month was not enough to unwind the positive price performance and positive total return from most of the fixed-income sectors during the majority of the period.
The most notable returns among fixed-income asset classes over the six-month period came from the lower-quality credit tiers, such as A-rated and below, as investor confidence continued to strengthen throughout the summer and into the fall of 2010. High-yield bonds performed strongly, with CCC-rated, B-rated, and BB-rated securities1 outperforming the investment-grade credit tiers. The AAA-rated credit tier was the lowest performing tier during the period. Corporate bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) were the best-performing sectors benefiting from credit spread tightening and a broad market shift into securities that offered higher levels of yield. Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) generated positive returns but generally underperformed the other fixed-income sectors as their spreads widened from nearly zero basis points in the early part of the period to around 60 basis points at the end of the period. MBS spreads finished at their highest level since the spring of 2009. U.S. Treasuries also generated positive returns as yields decreased throughout much of the period. The 10-year note finished the period at a yield of 2.80%, which was 50 basis points lower than its yield on May 31. However, yields were even lower in early October before they moved higher through the final months of the period. The 10-year U.S. Treasury note hit a low yield of 2.39% on October 7, 2010, which was its lowest yield since the 1950s.
U.S. Treasury yields declined for most of the period.
U.S. Treasuries continued to rally for much of the six-month period, pulling yields lower in nearly all corners of the fixed-income markets. In general, investors appeared increasingly convinced that economic growth would remain tepid throughout 2010, but an even more powerful effect on the markets was the disinflationary sentiment that became more firmly entrenched during July and August. The core consumer price index (CPI) declined to its lowest level on record, prompting the Federal Reserve (Fed) to formally comment that inflation was well below levels that are consistent with its mandate. Consequently, the Fed mentioned late in the period that it was again willing to use all available tools to stimulate growth and promote maximum employment and price stability. This spurred further rallies in the U.S. Treasury market and across several of the riskier areas of the domestic fixed-income markets. Credit spreads continued to rally through the end of October.
At its November 3 meeting, the Fed formally announced the launch of its second quantitative easing program, dubbed QE2. The program intends to build federal reserves and keep long-term yields relatively low by purchasing another $600 billion

in U.S. Treasuries over an eight-month period from November through June of 2011 at a pace of $75 billion per month. This program represents the second major installation of quantitative easing implemented since the credit crisis of 2008 and seeks to spur lending and economic growth. Part of the restraint on the economy is the fact that private lending continued to contract during the period as it has since 2008. Despite the massive size of these programs, quantitative easing has not resulted in credit expansion, monetary supply expansion, or increased inflation as of the end of the recent period. When those effects begin to take hold, the Fed will likely begin to draw down these reserves by selling U.S. Treasuries back to the market. But in the interim, investors appeared most interested in adding yield from fixed-income securities in a low inflationary environment. U.S. Treasuries rallied through October, despite the low nominal yields. However, once the QE2 program was announced in November, U.S. Treasury yields began to rise again, apparently on the conviction that growth may take hold and that inflation may begin to move higher in upcoming quarters.
Riskier assets performed best during the period.
Even before the intentions of launching QE2 were mentioned by the Fed, riskier fixed-income securities were rallying. From June through October, high-yield spreads tightened considerably, in part because investors were looking to shift into securities that offered higher yields than the low-yielding U.S. Treasury market. Similar trends played out throughout the investment-grade sectors, including CMBS and corporate bonds. With a relative scarcity of higher-yielding assets available, investors moved down the credit quality tiers to add yield and a bit more risk. The Barclays Capital High Yield Bond Index2 returned 9% during the period. The BB-rated, B-rated, and CCC-rated credit tiers each returned 9% while the investment grade credit tiers of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned less; the BBB-rated tier returned the most at 7%, while each respectively higher credit tier returned less, with the AAA-rated credit tier returning 3%. The CMBS subsector of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 9% while the corporate bond subsector of that index returned 6%. The Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Index3 returned 3%. Considering that the federal funds target rate continued to remain at its lowest level on record, a range of 0.00% to 0.25%, these six-month fixed income returns appeared fairly generous.
Growth expectations appeared to strengthen late in the period.
For much of the period, growth expectations remained constrained and inflation lingered at some of its lowest levels on record. These conditions helped support the U.S. Treasury rally throughout the period; however, as growth expectations seemed to improve in November, investors appeared to look toward the next phase of the economic cycle. Certainly several economic figures demonstrated continued resiliency during the period, such as manufacturing and retail sales, but housing data continued to disappoint. Unemployment showed some signs of trending towards recovery but still languished in the 9.5% range. Nonetheless, the launch of QE2 coupled with a bipartisan fiscal tax package in November appeared to encourage some economic optimism. This had a detrimental effect on the U.S. Treasury market, shifting yields higher on potential expectations for

While we cannot say definitively what near-term performance will look like going forward, we continue to encourage investors to maintain fully diversified, actively managed portfolios, which may provide better protection from risk and added opportunities to capture relative value.
higher levels of growth, a return of inflation, and possibly even some higher borrowing costs from the U.S. government. The impact on the market was a return of volatility late in the period after five months of continued rallying across the fixed-income sectors. While we cannot say definitively what near-term performance will look like going forward, we continue to encourage investors to maintain fully diversified, actively managed portfolios, which may provide better protection from risk and added opportunities to capture relative value. While heightened volatility may be uncomfortable to experience in the short term, it often leads to unique opportunities to add relative value for investors with long-term investment horizons.
In our opinion, diligent and earnest assessment of the fundamental risks in individual fixed-income securities will be a key differentiating factor between which investment strategies perform well and which do not. At Wells Fargo Advantage Funds®, we intend to continue measuring relative-value opportunities in the fixed-income markets and across our lineup of Wells Fargo Advantage Income Funds. We believe it is particularly important to have diligent investment analysts in charge of investor assets in changing markets. As evidenced by the performance of fixed-income assets during the recent six-month period, heightened risks also often accompany such opportunities. In our view, it is important to have the right caretakers in charge of investor assets during times of uncertainty and opportunity.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
While periods of uncertainty can present challenges, experience has taught us that maintaining a long-term investment strategy based on individual goals and risk tolerance can be an effective way to plan for the future.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s Web site — www.wellsfargo.com/advantagefunds.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 4.50%. For Class B shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 5.00%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including sales charges assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Administrator Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond fund values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond fund values fall and investors may lose principal value. The principal value of and interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities tend to fall with the rate of inflation. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). This Fund is exposed to mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

2. | | The Fund is a gateway feeder fund that invests all of its assets in a single Master Portfolio of the Master Trust with a substantially similar investment objective and substantially similar investment strategies. References to the investment activities of the Fund are intended to refer to the investment activities of the Master Portfolio in which it invests. |

4. | | The investment adviser has contractually committed through September 30, 2011 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the contractual expense ratios shown including underlying Master Portfolio fees and expenses, excluding acquired fund fees and certain other expenses. Without these reductions, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. |

10 Wells Fargo Advantage Income Funds | | Fund Expenses |
| | |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees (if any) and exchange fees (if any); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder service fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2010 to November 30, 2010.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

24 Wells Fargo Advantage Income Funds | | Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
| | |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). These financial statements report on the following funds: Wells Fargo Advantage Inflation-Protected Bond Fund (“Inflation-Protected Bond Fund”) and Wells Fargo Advantage Total Return Bond Fund (“Total Return Bond Fund” ) (each, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Funds each seek to achieve its investment objective by investing all investable assets in one or more separate diversified portfolios (each, a “Master Portfolio”, collectively, the “Master Portfolios”) of Wells Fargo Master Trust, a registered open-end management investment company. Each Master Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities, and a Fund investing in a Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. Each Fund accounts for its investment in the Master Portfolio as partnership investments and records daily its share of the Master Portfolio’s income, expense and realized and unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements of each Master Portfolio for the six months ended November 30, 2010 are included this report and should be read in conjunction with each Fund’s financial statements. As of November 30, 2010, Inflation-Protected Bond Fund owned 78% of Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio and Total Return Bond Fund owned 90% of Total Return Bond Portfolio.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has considered the circumstances under which the Funds should recognize or make disclosures regarding events or transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements are issued. Adjustments or additional disclosures, if any, have been included in these financial statements.
Securities valuation
Investments in the Master Portfolios are valued daily based on each Fund’s proportionate share of each Master Portfolio’s net assets, which are also valued daily. Securities held in the Master Portfolios are valued as discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements of the Master Portfolios, which are included elsewhere in this report.
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value are consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach, where applicable, for each security type.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis in each Master Portfolio. Realized gains or losses in each Master Portfolio are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities delivered.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method by each Master Portfolio. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Each Fund records daily its proportionate share of each Master Portfolio’s interest income.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Federal and other taxes
Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
Each Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities.
As of May 31, 2010, Inflation-Protected Bond Fund had estimated net capital loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future net realized capital gains, in the amount of $4,363,101 with $2,705,798 expiring in 2015, $1,003,934 expiring in 2016, $605,645 expiring in 2017 and $47,724 expiring in 2018.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by each Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing and administration fees. Shareholders of each class bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of a Fund, earn income from the portfolio, and are allocated unrealized gains and losses pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocable to each class. Realized gains and losses are allocated to each class pro rata based upon the net assets of each class on the date realized. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the relative weightings of pro rata income and realized gain allocations and from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Each Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
§ | | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
|
§ | | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
|
§ | | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At November 30, 2010, each Fund’s investments in the Master Portfolio carried at fair value were designated as Level 2 inputs. Further details on the major security types can be found in the Portfolio of Investments of each Master Portfolio.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
Investment advisory fees
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory contract with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”). The investment adviser is responsible for implementing investment policies and guidelines and for supervising the investment sub-adviser, who is responsible for day-to-day portfolio management of the Funds.
Since each Fund invests all of its assets in a single Master Portfolio, Funds Management does not currently receive investment advisory fees. Funds Management also acts as investment adviser to the Master Portfolios and is entitled to receive fees from the Master Portfolios for those services.
| | |
26 Wells Fargo Advantage Income Funds | | Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
| | |
Each Fund that invests its assets in one or more Master Portfolio may withdraw all of its investments from its corresponding Master Portfolio(s) and invest directly in securities at any time if the Board of Trustees determines that it is in the best interest of the Fund to do so. Upon such redemption and subsequent direct investment in a portfolio of securities, Funds Management (and the corresponding sub-adviser, if any) may receive an investment advisory fee for the direct management of those assets.
Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“Wells Capital Management”), an affiliate of Funds Management and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo is the investment sub-adviser to the Funds. Since each Fund invests all of its assets in a single Master Portfolio, Wells Capital Management is not paid an investment sub-advisory fee for its services to the Funds.
Administration and transfer agent fees
The Trust has entered into an Administration Agreement with Funds Management. Under this Agreement, for providing administrative services, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers, Funds Management is entitled to receive from each Fund the following annual fees:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | Administration Fees |
| | Average Daily | | (% of Average |
| | Net Assets | | Daily Net Assets) |
Fund level | | First $5 billion | | | 0.05 | % |
| | Next $5 billion | | | 0.04 | |
| | Over $10 billion | | | 0.03 | |
Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R | | All asset levels | | | 0.16 | * |
Administrator Class | | All asset levels | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | All asset levels | | | 0.08 | |
Investor Class | | All asset levels | | | 0.19 | ** |
| | |
* | | Prior to July 12, 2010, the class level administration fee for Class A, Class B and Class C was 0.18%. |
|
** | | Prior to July 12, 2010, the class level administration fee for Investor Class was 0.23%. |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed investment advisory and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Funds. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses.
Distribution fees
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan for Class B, Class C and Class R shares of the applicable Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to the Class B, Class C and Class R shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the principal underwriter of each Fund, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% of the average daily net assets for Class R shares.
For the six months ended November 30, 2010, Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC received the following amounts in front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Front-end sales charges | | Contingent deferred sales charges |
| | Class A | | Class B | | Class C |
Inflation-Protected Bond Fund | | $ | 3,274 | | | $ | 1,966 | | | $ | 912 | |

The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class B, Class C, Administrator, Class R and Investor Class of each applicable Fund is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.

6. ACQUISITIONS
After the close of business on July 9, 2010, Total Return Bond Fund acquired the net assets of Evergreen Core Bond Fund, Evergreen Short Intermediate Bond Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Bond Fund. The purpose of the transactions was to combine four funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. The acquisitions were accomplished by a tax-free exchange of all of the shares Evergreen Core Bond Fund, Evergreen Short Intermediate Bond Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Bond Fund. Shareholders holding Class A, Class B, Class C and Class IS shares of Evergreen Core Bond Fund and Evergreen Short Intermediate Bond Fund received Class A, Class B, Class C and Class A shares, respectively, of Total Return Bond Fund in the reorganizations. Class I shares of Evergreen Core Bond Fund received Institutional Class shares of Total Return Bond Fund. Class I shares of Evergreen Short Intermediate Fund received Administrator Class shares of Total Return Bond Fund. Class R shares of Evergreen Core Bond Fund received Class R shares of Total Return Bond Fund. Administrator Class shares of Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Bond Fund received Administrator Class shares of Total Return Bond Fund. The investment portfolio of Evergreen Core Bond Fund, Evergreen Short Intermediate Bond Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Bond Fund with fair values of $385,722,272, $69,143,674 and $49,990,379, respectively, and identified costs of $379,040,820, $66,839,030 and $49,173,490, respectively, at July 9, 2010, were the principal assets acquired by Total Return Bond Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Total Return Bond Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Evergreen Core Bond Fund, Evergreen Short Intermediate Bond Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Bond Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Total Return Bond Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The value of net assets acquired, unrealized gains acquired, exchange ratio and number of shares issued were as follows:

Assuming the acquisitions had been completed June 1, 2010, the beginning of the annual reporting period for Total Return Bond Fund, the pro forma results of operations for the six months ended November 30, 2010 would have been:
| | | | |
Net investment income | | $ | 32,180,280 | |
Net realized and unrealized gains on investments | | $ | 66,131,902 | |
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations | | $ | 98,312,182 | |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Evergreen Core Bond Fund, Evergreen Short Intermediate Bond Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Bond Fund that have been included in Total Return Bond Fund’s Statement of Operations since July 12, 2010.
7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $125,000,000 revolving credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, whereby the Funds are permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to each Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, under the credit agreement, the Funds pay an annual commitment fee equal to 0.125% of the unused balance, which is allocated pro rata. Prior to September 7, 2010, the annual commitment fee paid by the Funds was 0.15% of the unused balance.
For the six months ended November 30, 2010, there were no borrowings by the Funds under the agreement.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
9. SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTIONS
On December 10, 2010, Total Return Bond Fund declared distributions from short-term capital gains and long-term capital gains to shareholders of record on December 9, 2010. The per share amounts payable on December 13, 2010 were as follows:

1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Master Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). These financial statements report on the following funds: Wells Fargo Advantage Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio (“Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio”), Wells Fargo Advantage Managed Fixed Income Portfolio (“Managed Fixed Income Portfolio”), Wells Fargo Advantage Stable Income Portfolio (“Stable Income Portfolio” ) and Wells Fargo Advantage Total Return Bond Portfolio (“Total Return Bond Portfolio” ) (each, a “Portfolio”, collectively, the “Portfolios”). Each Portfolio is a diversified series of the Trust.
Interests in the Portfolios are sold without any sales charge in private placement transactions to qualified investors, including open-end investment management companies.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Portfolio, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has considered the circumstances under which the Portfolios should recognize or make disclosures regarding events or transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements are issued. Adjustments or additional disclosures, if any, have been included in these financial statements.
Securities valuation
Certain fixed income securities with maturities exceeding 60 days are valued based on available market quotations received from an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees which may utilize both transaction data and market information such as yield, prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. If valuations are not available from the pricing service or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or determined based on the Portfolios’ Fair Value Procedures.
Debt securities of sufficient credit quality with original maturities of 60 days or less and any collateral received from securities lending invested in securities generally are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity.
Investments in open-end mutual portfolios and non-registered investment companies are generally valued at net asset value.
Certain investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above, are valued at their fair value, as determined by procedures established in good faith and approved by the Board of Trustees.
The valuation techniques used by the Portfolios to measure fair value are consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach, where applicable, for each security type.
Repurchase agreements
The Portfolios may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other portfolios advised by Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to- market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by instruments such as U.S. Treasury, federal agency, or high-grade corporate obligations. There could be potential loss to a Portfolio in the event that such Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which a Portfolio seeks to assert its rights.

Security loans
The Portfolios may lend their securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. A Portfolio continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. A Portfolio receives collateral in the form of cash or securities with a value at least equal to the value of the securities on loan. The value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Portfolio on the next business day. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the borrower, a Portfolio could experience delays and costs in recovering the loaned securities or in gaining access to the collateral. In addition, the investment of any cash collateral received may lose all or part of its value. The Portfolio has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
The Portfolios lend their securities through an unaffiliated securities lending agent. Cash collateral received in connection with their securities lending transactions is invested in Wells Fargo Securities Lending Cash Investments, LLC (the “Cash Collateral Fund”). The Cash Collateral Fund is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act and is managed by Wells Fargo Funds Management LLC (“Funds Management”) and is sub-advised by Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“Wells Capital Management”). Funds Management receives an investment advisory fee starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Cash Collateral Fund increase. All of the fees received by Funds Management are paid to Wells Capital Management for its services as sub-adviser. The Cash Collateral Fund seeks to provide a positive return compared to the daily Fed Funds Open rate by investing in high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated short-term money market instruments. Cash Collateral Fund investments are fair valued based upon the amortized cost valuation technique. Income earned from investment in the Cash Collateral Fund is included in securities lending income on the Statements of Operations.
In a securities lending transaction, the net asset value of a Portfolio will be affected by an increase or decrease in the value of the securities loaned and by an increase or decrease in the value of instruments in which cash collateral is invested. The amount of securities lending activity undertaken by a Portfolio fluctuates from time to time. After the occurrence of a default or impairment of structured investment vehicles purchased in a joint account by the Portfolios’ former securities lending agent, as the various participating Portfolios’ lending activity fluctuated, their ratable interest in the joint account, including their ratable exposure to the defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicles fluctuated depending on the relative activity of each participating Portfolio. In order to eliminate the fluctuation of the various Portfolios’ ratable exposure to the defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicles, the adviser to the Portfolios recommended to the Board of Trustees, and the Board of Trustees approved, actions designed to fix the allocation of percentage ownership in defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicles among all portfolios participating in securities lending (“side pocketing”) based on each Portfolio’s percentage ownership of the total cash collateral investment joint account as of the date the fixed allocation is implemented. Accordingly, on February 13, 2009 a side pocketing occurred, which fixed each Portfolio’s ownership of defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicle in the joint account based on each such Portfolio’s percentage ownership of the joint account as of such date.
When-issued transactions
Each Portfolio may purchase securities on a forward commitment or ‘when-issued’ basis. A Portfolio records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets to cover its obligation by confirming the availability of qualifying assets having a value sufficient to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Portfolio begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Term loans
Each Portfolio may invest in term loans. The loans are marked-to-market daily and the Portfolio begins earning interest when the loans are funded. The loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. The Portfolio assumes the credit risk of the borrower and there could be potential loss to the Portfolio in the event of default by the borrower.

Futures contracts
Certain Portfolios may be subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolios may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against changes in, security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
TBA sale commitments
A Portfolio may enter into To Be Announced (“TBA”) sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as “cover” for the transaction. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under “Securities valuation”. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss. If the Portfolio delivers securities under the commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.
Inflation-indexed bonds and TIPS
Certain Portfolios may invest in inflation-indexed bonds, including Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds (other than municipal inflation indexed bonds and certain corporate inflation-indexed bonds) will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal. The value of inflation-indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. If nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates may rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds, including TIPS, decline in value when real interest rates rise. In certain interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, inflation-indexed bonds may experience greater losses than other fixed income securities with similar durations.
Credit default swaps
Certain Portfolios may be subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may enter into credit default swap contracts for hedging or speculative purposes to provide or receive a measure of protection against default on a referenced entity, obligation or index or for investment gains. Credit default swaps involve an exchange of a stream of payments for protection against the loss in value of an underlying security or index. Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a guarantor (referred to as the seller of protection) and receives a periodic stream of payments, provided that there is no credit event, from another party (referred to as the buyer of protection) that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount over the term of the swap. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if a credit event is triggered, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. A credit event includes bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation default, obligation acceleration, repudiation/moratorium, and restructuring. The Portfolio may enter into credit default swaps as either the
| | |
| | |
64 Wells Fargo Advantage Master Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
seller of protection or the buyer of protection. As the seller of protection, the Portfolio is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap and has assumed the risk of default of the underlying security or index. As the buyer of protection, the Portfolio could be exposed to risks if the seller of the protection defaults on its obligation to perform, or if there are unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Portfolio as the seller of protection could be required to make under the credit default swap contract would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap contract. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.
If the Portfolio is the seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of protection the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If the Portfolio is the buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will receive from the seller of protection the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
Any premiums paid or received on the transactions are recorded as an asset or liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized. The value of the swap contract is marked-to-market daily based on quotations from an independent pricing service or market makers and any change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Periodic payments made or received are recorded as realized gains or losses. In addition, payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized as realized gains or losses.
Certain credit default swap contracts entered into by the Portfolio provide for conditions that result in events of default or termination that enable the counterparty to the agreement to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty to terminate early may impact the amounts reported on the financial statements.
Mortgage dollar roll transactions
The Portfolios may engage in mortgage dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC). In a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a Portfolio sells a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar security from the institution at a later date at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different pre-payment histories. During the roll period, a Portfolio foregoes principal and interest paid on the securities. A Portfolio is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase as well as by the earnings on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract. The Portfolios account for the dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities delivered.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Interest income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.

Federal and other taxes
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The Portfolios are not required to pay federal income taxes on their net investment income and net capital gain as they are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. All interest, dividends, gains and losses of a Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the interest holders in proportion to their holdings of the Portfolio regardless of whether such interest, dividends and gains have been distributed by the Portfolio.
Each Portfolio’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Portfolio’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Each Portfolio’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
§ | | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
|
§ | | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
|
§ | | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
As of November 30, 2010, the inputs used in valuing each Portfolio’s assets, which are carried at fair value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
Investment advisory fees
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory contract with Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”). The investment adviser is responsible for implementing investment policies and guidelines and for supervising the investment sub-advisers, who are responsible for day-to-day portfolio management of the Portfolios.
Pursuant to the contract, Funds Management is paid an annual investment advisory fee starting at 0.40% and declining to 0.30% as the average daily net assets of each Portfolio increases. For the six months ended November 30, 2010, the investment advisory fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.40% of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio, except Total Return Bond Portfolio. The investment advisory fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.36% of Total Return Bond Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management may retain the services of certain investment sub-advisers to provide daily portfolio management to the Portfolios. Wells Capital Management, an affiliate of Funds Management, is the investment sub-adviser to Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio and Total Return Bond Portfolio. Galliard Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the investment sub-adviser to Managed Fixed Income Portfolio and Stable Income Portfolio.
The fees related to investment sub-advisory services are borne directly by the investment adviser and do not increase the overall fees paid by a Portfolio to the investment adviser. The investment sub-advisers are each paid an annual investment sub-advisory fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each Portfolio as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Annual investment sub-advisory fee |
| | Investment sub-adviser | | starting at | | declining to |
|
Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio | | Wells Capital Management | | | 0.20 | % | | | 0.10 | % |
Managed Fixed Income Portfolio | | Galliard Capital Management Incorporated | | | 0.20 | %* | | | 0.10 | %* |
Stable Income Portfolio | | Galliard Capital Management Incorporated | | | 0.15 | %* | | | 0.05 | %* |
Total Return Bond Portfolio | | Wells Capital Management | | | 0.20 | % | | | 0.10 | % |
| | |
* | | Prior to August 25, 2010 the investment sub-advisory rate paid to Galliard started at 0.10% and declined to 0.03% as average daily net assets increased. |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed investment advisory fees during the six months ended November 30, 2010 to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Portfolios.

Total Return Bond Portfolio had an average notional balance of $26,256,831 during the six months ended November 30, 2010.
Certain of the Portfolio’s derivative transactions may contain provisions for early termination in the event the net assets of the Portfolio declines below specific levels identified by the counterparty. If these levels are triggered, the counterparty may terminate the transaction and seek payment or request full collateralization of the derivative transaction in net liability positions. On November 30, 2010, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with net asset contingent features that were in a liability positions amounted to $691,858.
The fair value, realized gains or losses and change in unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments are reflected in the appropriate financial statements.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

2 Wells Fargo Advantage Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | | Letter to Shareholders |
In general, municipal securities performed relatively well over the recent six-month period, benefiting from growing economic activity, low yields in U.S. Treasuries, and improving fiscal conditions for state and local governments. Investors continued to seek tax-exempt municipal bonds for their higher levels of relative yield compared with U.S. Treasuries and their tax-exempt benefits.
Dear Valued Shareholder,
We are pleased to introduce you to Wells Fargo Advantage Funds. You now have access to an expanded array of mutual funds, giving you the flexibility to invest in a family of funds covering nearly every asset class and investment style. Following is your semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Strategic Municipal Bond Fund for the six-month period that ended November 30, 2010. In general, municipal securities performed relatively well over the six-month period, benefiting from growing economic activity, low yields in U.S. Treasuries, and improving fiscal conditions for state and local governments. Investors continued to seek tax-exempt municipal bonds for their higher levels of relative yield compared with U.S. Treasuries.
U.S. Treasury yields declined for most of the period.
U.S. Treasuries continued to rally for much of the six-month period, pulling yields lower in nearly all corners of the fixed-income markets including municipal bonds. In general, investors appeared increasingly convinced that economic growth would remain tepid throughout 2010, but an even more powerful effect on the markets was the disinflationary sentiment that became more firmly entrenched during July and August. The core consumer price index (CPI) declined to its lowest level on record, prompting the Federal Reserve (Fed) to formally comment that inflation was well below levels that are consistent with its mandate. Consequently, the Fed mentioned late in the period that it was again willing to use all available tools to stimulate growth and promote maximum employment and price stability. This spurred further rallies in the U.S. Treasury market and across several of the riskier areas of the domestic fixed-income markets. Municipal bond markets followed the Treasury market for much of the period and continued to rally through the end of October.
At its November 3 meeting, the Fed formally announced the launch of its second quantitative easing program, dubbed QE2. The program intends to build federal reserves and keep long-term yields relatively low by purchasing another $600 billion in U.S. Treasuries over an eight-month period from November through June of 2011 at a pace of $75 billion per month. This program represents the second major installation of quantitative easing implemented since the credit crisis of 2008 and seeks to spur lending and economic growth. Part of the restraint on the economy is the fact that private lending continued to contract during the period as it has since 2008. Despite the massive size of these programs, so far quantitative easing has not resulted in credit expansion, monetary supply expansion, or increased inflation. When those effects begin to take hold, the Fed will likely begin to draw down these reserves by selling U.S. Treasuries back to the market. But in the interim, investors appeared most interested in adding yield from fixed-income securities in a low inflationary environment. U.S. Treasuries rallied through October, despite the low nominal yields. However, once the QE2 program was announced in November, U.S. Treasury yields began to rise again, apparently on the conviction that growth may take hold and that inflation may begin to move higher in upcoming quarters.

Letter to Shareholders | | Wells Fargo Advantage Strategic Municipal Bond Fund 3 |
Higher-quality municipal bonds outperformed during the period.
From June through August, municipal bonds rallied, generating more than 3% total return during the first three months of the period. However, risk aversion at the state and local government level returned in September, resulting in some lower returns in the lower-quality credit tiers, such as A-rated credits and below, and some negative returns in the higher quality segments. As the period continued, lower quality municipal bonds began to give back more of their gains from the first three months. Finally in November, a reversal of confidence appeared in the municipal bond market as the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index1 declined by 2% and the lowest quality credit tiers declined the most. This shift of sentiment late in the period reversed the trends from earlier in the period when the lower-quality credit tiers outperformed the highest quality credit tiers. By the end of the period, the AAA-rated2 credit tier had the highest positive performance while the BBB-rated credit tier had the lowest. Nonetheless, the national municipal bond market generated positive total returns during the six-month period as the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index returned 1%. Considering that the federal funds target rate continued to remain at its lowest level on record, a range of 0.00% to 0.25%, and the six-month U.S. Treasury finished the period with a yield of 0.19%, these six-month tax-exempt fixed-income returns appeared reasonably generous.
Growth expectations appeared to strengthen late in the period.
For much of the period, growth expectations remained constrained and inflation lingered at some of its lowest levels on record. These conditions helped support the U.S. Treasury rally throughout the period; however as growth expectations seemed to improve in November, investors appeared to look toward the next phase of the economic cycle. Certainly several economic figures demonstrated continued resiliency during the period, such as manufacturing and retail sales; however housing data continued to disappoint. Unemployment showed some signs of trending toward recovery but still languished in the 9.5% range. Nonetheless, the launch of QE2 coupled with a bipartisan fiscal tax package in November appeared to encourage some economic optimism. This had a detrimental effect on the U.S. Treasury market, shifting yields higher on expectations for potentially higher levels of growth, a return of inflation, and possibly even some higher borrowing costs from the U.S. government.

4 Wells Fargo Advantage Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | | Letter to Shareholders |
While we cannot say definitively what near-term performance will look like going forward, we continue to encourage investors to maintain fully diversified, actively managed portfolios, which may provide better protection from risk and added opportunities to capture relative value.
The impact on the municipal market was a return of volatility late in the period after five months of rallies across the national municipal bond markets. While we cannot say definitively what near-term performance will look like going forward, we continue to encourage investors to maintain fully diversified3, actively managed portfolios, which may provide better protection from risk and added opportunities to capture relative value. While heightened volatility may be uncomfortable to experience in the short term, it often leads to unique opportunities to add relative value for investors with long-term investment horizons.
Active management and credit analysis will drive fund construction and performance.
In this environment, we believe that fundamental credit analysis, issue selection, and yield-curve positioning will be the key drivers of portfolio construction and relative performance. At Wells Fargo Advantage Funds®, we intend to continue assessing relative value opportunities throughout the municipal bond markets and across our lineup of municipal funds.
We believe that interest rates will rise, and we believe the Wells Fargo Advantage Strategic Municipal Bond Fund is positioned to perform well whether the yield curve remains unchanged or flattens, and whether interest rates stay stable or move higher through bonds that offer higher income and benefit from the presently steep yield curve.
Thank you for choosing Wells Fargo Advantage Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us. Through each market cycle, we are committed to helping you meet your financial needs. If you have any questions about your investment, please contact your investment professional, or call us at 1-800-222-8222.

* | | Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. |

** | | Class B shares are closed to investment, except in connection with the reinvestment of any distributions and permitted exchanges. |
Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s Web site – www.wellsfargo.com/advantagefunds.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 4.50%. For Class B shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 5.00%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Administrator Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond fund values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond fund values fall and investors may lose principal value. High yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). This Fund is exposed to active trading risk and municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the alternative minimum tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

Without these reductions, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. |

8 Wells Fargo Advantage Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | | Fund Expenses |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees (if any) and exchange fees (if any); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder service fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2010 to November 30, 2010.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

26 Wells Fargo Advantage Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | | Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). These financial statements report on Wells Fargo Advantage Strategic Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
After the close of business on July 9, 2010, the net assets of Evergreen Strategic Municipal Bond Fund were acquired by the Fund, which was created to receive the assets of Evergreen Strategic Municipal Bond Fund, in an exchange for shares of the Fund. As Evergreen Strategic Municipal Bond Fund contributed all of the net assets and shareholders to the newly created Wells Fargo Advantage Fund, the accounting and performance history of Evergreen Strategic Municipal Bond Fund has been carried forward in the financial statements contained herein.
Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of Evergreen Strategic Municipal Bond Fund received Class A, Class B, Class C and Administrator Class shares, respectively, of the Fund in the reorganization.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has considered the circumstances under which the Fund should recognize or make disclosures regarding events or transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements are issued. Adjustments or additional disclosures, if any, have been included in these financial statements.
Securities valuation
Certain fixed income securities with maturities exceeding 60 days are valued based on available market quotations received from an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees which may utilize both transaction data and market information such as yield, prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. If valuations are not available from the pricing service or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or determined based on the Fund’s Fair Value Procedures.
Debt securities of sufficient credit quality with original maturities of 60 days or less generally are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity.
Investments in open-end mutual funds and non-registered investment companies are generally valued at net asset value.
Certain investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above, are valued at their fair value, as determined by procedures established in good faith and approved by the Board of Trustees.
The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value are consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach, where applicable, for each security type.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or ‘when-issued’ basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets to cover its obligation by confirming the availability of qualifying assets having a value sufficient to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Futures contracts
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against changes in, security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
| | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Strategic Municipal Bond Fund 27 |
Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities delivered.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities.
As of May 31, 2010, the Fund had $3,975,871 in capital loss carryovers for federal income tax purposes with $990,040 expiring in 2016 and $2,985,831 expiring in 2017.
As of May 31, 2010, the Fund had $833,675 of current year deferred post-October capital losses, which would be treated as realized for tax purposes on the first day of the succeeding year.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing and administration fees. Shareholders of each class bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund, earn income from the portfolio, and are allocated unrealized gains and losses pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocable to each class. Realized gains and losses are allocated to each class pro rata based upon the net assets of each class on the date realized. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the relative weightings of pro rata income and realized gain allocations and from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair
| | |
| | |
28 Wells Fargo Advantage Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | | Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
§ | | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
|
§ | | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
|
§ | | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. |
As of November 30, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets, which are carried at fair value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | Significant | | |

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Strategic Municipal Bond Fund 29 |
Pursuant to the contract, Funds Management is paid an annual investment advisory fee starting at 0.35% and declining to 0.25% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. Prior to July 12, 2010, the predecessor fund, Evergreen Strategic Municipal Bond Fund, paid an investment advisory fee to Evergreen Investment Management Company, LLC (“EIMC”), an affiliate of Funds Management, at an annual rate which started at 0.55% and declined to 0.35% as the average daily net assets increased. For the six months ended November 30, 2010, the investment advisory fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.39% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management may retain the services of certain investment sub-advisers to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fees related to investment sub-advisory services are borne directly by the investment adviser and do not increase the overall fees paid by the Fund to the investment adviser. Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“Wells Capital Management”), an affiliate of Funds Management, is the investment sub-adviser to the Fund and is paid a fee by the investment adviser at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. Prior to January 12, 2010, Stamper Capital & Investments, Inc. was the investment sub-adviser to the predecessor fund and was paid by EIMC an annual fee for its services which started at 0.195% and declined to 0.165% as the average daily net assets increased.
Administration and transfer agent fees
The Trust has entered into an Administration Agreement with Funds Management. Under this Agreement, for providing administrative services, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers, Funds Management is entitled to receive from each Fund the following annual fees:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | Administration Fees |
| | Average Daily | | (% of Average |
| | Net Assets | | Daily Net Assets) |
Fund level | | First $5 billion | | | 0.05 | % |

| | Over $10 billion | | | 0.03 | |
Class A, Class B, and Class C | | All asset levels | | | 0.16 | |
Administrator Class | | All asset levels | | | 0.10 | |
Prior to July 12, 2010, the predecessor fund paid EIMC a fund level administrator fee at an annual rate determined by applying percentage rates to the aggregate average daily net assets of the Evergreen funds (excluding money market funds) which started at 0.10% and declined to 0.05% as the aggregate average daily net assets of the Evergreen funds (excluding money market funds) increased.
Funds Management and/or EIMC contractually and voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed advisory and administration fees during the six months ended November 30, 2010 to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management and/or EIMC were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses.
Prior to July 12, 2010, the predecessor fund paid Evergreen Service Company, LLC, an affiliate of EIMC and a subsidiary of Wells Fargo, a transfer and dividend disbursing agent fee.
Distribution fees
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan for Class B and Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to Class B and Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the principal underwriter of the Fund, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. Prior to July 12, 2010, Class B and Class C shares of the predecessor fund also paid distribution fees at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of each class.

7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $125,000,000 revolving credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, whereby the Funds are permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to each Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, under the credit agreement, the Fund pays an annual commitment fee equal to 0.125% of the unused balance, which is allocated pro rata. Prior to September 7, 2010, the annual commitment fee paid by the Fund was 0.15% of the unused balance.
For the six months ended November 30, 2010, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
