2 Wells Fargo Advantage Index Fund | | Letter to Shareholders |

Karla M. Rabusch,
President
Wells Fargo Advantage FundsWhile the equity markets delivered strong six-month returns against the backdrop of a strengthening economy, the period was not without its share of macroeconomic challenges, domestic and international political uncertainty, and market volatility.
Dear Valued Shareholder,
We are pleased to provide you with this semiannual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Index Fund for the six-month period that ended January 31, 2011.
While the equity markets delivered strong six-month returns against the backdrop of a strengthening economy, the period was not without its share of macroeconomic challenges, domestic and international political uncertainty, and market volatility—once again highlighting the value of a well-diversified investment strategy. As always, we believe that having such a strategy may enable investors to balance risks and opportunities as they pursue long-term financial goals in a dynamic market environment.
The economic recovery stayed on track.
The U.S. economic recovery that began in the summer of 2009 gained momentum, particularly toward the end of 2010. After expanding by 2.6% in the third quarter of 2010, gross domestic product (GDP) accelerated to an annualized rate of 3.2% in the fourth quarter of 2010. Although the path of recovery has been uneven at times and growth remains subpar compared with previous recoveries, the general consensus among economists is that the economy will likely avoid a double-dip recession. That said, persistent weakness in the labor and housing markets bears close watching in the months ahead.
Jobs and housing remained troublesome.
At the end of the year, the unemployment rate stood at 9.4%—down from 9.9% a year earlier but still stubbornly high. The rate fell even further in January 2011 to 9.0%. Unfortunately, the drop may be more attributable to a decline in the labor force than to a meaningful uptick in hiring. In fact, employers added only 1.1 million jobs for all of 2010, suggesting that the improving economy has yet to translate into widespread hiring. Meanwhile, the beleaguered housing market was an ongoing source of concern, despite some tentative late-year signs of stabilization.
Other economic data were more encouraging, reflecting greater confidence in the recovery on the part of both consumers and businesses. Retail sales came in strong at certain points during the year—including the critical holiday shopping season—while industrial production and new orders have picked up. Although still reluctant to hire, businesses have gradually increased spending in other areas, such as equipment and technology. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, remained benign.
The Fed continued to do its part.
With inflation subdued, the Federal Reserve (Fed) held its target range for the federal funds rate—a proxy for short-term interest rates—steady at 0% to 0.25%. In its first statement of 2011, released on January 26, the Fed explained that the most recent economic data “confirms that the economic recovery is continuing, though at a rate that has been insufficient to bring about significant improvement in labor market conditions.” The statement noted that, while consumer and business spending has risen, activity remains constrained due to modest income growth, lower housing wealth, and tight credit. As a result, the Fed indicated that it intends to keep short-term rates at historically low levels for as long as needed to promote a more robust recovery.
| | |
Letter to Shareholders | | Wells Fargo Advantage Index Fund 3 |
The Fed also stated that it plans to proceed with other stimulus measures, including its second round of quantitative easing (QE2)—a plan to purchase $600 billion in long-term Treasury securities by mid-2011. The introduction of QE2 in November 2010 marked a turning point for equity markets in that it ushered in a favorable shift in investor sentiment. By and large, investors interpreted the plan as further evidence of the Fed’s commitment to stabilizing the rate of inflation and spurring economic growth.
The second half of 2010 was a solid year for equities.
QE2 was certainly not the only catalyst for equity markets over the six-month period that ended January 31, 2011. Along with more upbeat economic data, better-than-expected corporate earnings played a role in driving stock prices higher. Throughout the past year, quarterly earnings per share for the majority of companies in the S&P 500 Index consistently exceeded Wall Street estimates. As 2010 drew to a close, the midterm congressional elections and the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts provided additional tailwinds, helping the markets finish the six-month period on a strong note.
For the six-month period, the broad equity market indexes posted exceptionally strong returns. The S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 17.9% and 15.2%, respectively, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite Index returned 20.5%. Investors were generally rewarded across the market-capitalization spectrum, with small- and mid-cap stocks outpacing large-cap stocks. In terms of investment style, growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts for the period.
To be sure, the gains were hard-earned, as the markets had to contend with numerous issues along the way, including the European sovereign debt crisis, civilian unrest and political upheaval in Tunisia and Egypt, China’s efforts to slow growth and manage inflation, and doubts about the sustainability of a domestic economic expansion. In particular, the early part of the third quarter witnessed bouts of heightened market volatility as economic data, although expanding, remained tepid. This led to increased fears that the U.S. economy was losing momentum and falling back into a recession. As the third and fourth quarters progressed, however, volatility—as measured by the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index—abated amid reduced fears of a double-dip recession. This renewed optimism was bolstered by improving corporate earnings, additional stimulus from the Fed, and the midterm elections, which provided more clarity around tax policy and the regulatory environment.
Investors should keep a long-term perspective.
In our view, the equity markets’ dramatic rebound over the past two years from a severe downturn underscores the importance of maintaining a disciplined, long-term investment strategy through changing market cycles. By staying focused on your long-term goals, you may be better positioned to both navigate falling markets and participate in rising markets.
To help you build a well-diversified strategy based on your personal objectives and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Advantage Funds® offers more than 120 mutual funds and other investments covering a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance.
In our view, the equity markets’ dramatic rebound over the past two years from a severe downturn underscores the importance of maintaining a disciplined, long-term investment strategy through changing market cycles.

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 5.75%. 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 and Investor Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Stock fund values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

4. | | Performance shown for the Investor Class shares prior to its inception reflects the performance of the Administrator Class shares, adjusted to include the higher expenses applicable to the Investor Class. Performance shown for all classes of the Fund prior to July 19, 2010 is based on the performance of the Fund’s predecessor, Evergreen Equity Index Fund. |

6. | | The investment adviser has contractually committed through July 18, 2013 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the Fund’s contractual expense ratios shown, including underlying master portfolio fees and expenses, but excluding certain other expenses. Without these reductions, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. |
|
7. | | 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. |

8 Wells Fargo Advantage Index 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 August 1, 2010 to January 31, 2011.
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.

16 Wells Fargo Advantage Index 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 Index Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
After the close of business on July 16, 2010, the Fund acquired the net assets of Evergreen Equity Index Fund. Evergreen Equity Index Fund became the accounting and performance survivor in the transaction. As a result, the accounting and performance history of Evergreen Equity Index Fund has been carried forward in the financial statements contained herein. Evergreen Equity Index Fund invested in a portfolio of securities and did not operate as a gateway fund in a master/gateway structure.
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all investable assets in Wells Fargo Advantage Index Portfolio, a diversified portfolio of Wells Fargo Master Trust, a registered open-end management investment company. As of January 31, 2010, the Fund owns 92% of Wells Fargo Advantage Index Portfolio (the “Master Portfolio”). The Master Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities and the Fund acquires an indirect interest in those securities. The Fund accounts for its investment in the Master Portfolio as a partnership investment and records daily its share of the Master Portfolio’s income, expense and realized and unrealized gains and losses. Included in this report is the unaudited Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities of the Master Portfolio as of January 31, 2011. The audited financial statements of the Master Portfolio for the year ended September 30, 2010 is available on the Fund’s web site at www.wellsfargo.com/advantagefunds and is also available by visiting the SEC web site at www.sec.gov.
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
Investments in the Master Portfolio are valued daily based on the Fund’s proportionate share of the Master Portfolio’s net assets, which are also valued daily. The valuation of securities held in the Master Portfolio are valued as discussed in the notes to the unaudited Portfolio of Investments of the Master Portfolio, which is included elsewhere in this report. The valuation technique used by the Fund to measure fair value is consistent with the market approach.
Security transactions and income recognition
The Fund records daily its proportionate share of the Master Portfolio’s interest and dividend income.
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
The 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.
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.
| | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Index Fund 17 |
As of May 31, 2010, the Fund’s tax year end, the Fund had estimated net capital loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future net realized capital gains, in the amount of $2,552,691 with $112,768 expiring in 2011 and $2,439,923 expiring in 2012.
Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
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 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 January 31, 2011, all of the investments of the Fund were in the Master Portfolio which was carried at fair value and designated as Level 2 inputs.
Further details on the investments of the Master Portfolio can be found in the Portfolio of Investments for the Master Portfolio which is included in this report.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
Investment advisory fee
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 Fund.
Since the Fund invests all of its assets in the Master Portfolio, Funds Management does not currently receive an investment advisory fee.
| | |
| | |
18 Wells Fargo Advantage Index Fund | | Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
The Fund may withdraw all of its investments from the Master Portfolio 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.
Funds Management also acts as investment adviser to the Master Portfolio and is entitled to receive fees from the Master Portfolio for those services.
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 the 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 | | All asset levels | | | 0.26 | |
Administrator Class | | All asset levels | | | 0.10 | |
Investor Class | | All asset levels | | | 0.33 | |
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 Fund. 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 and Class C of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to the 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.
For the six months ended January 31, 2011, Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC received $2,455 from the sale of Class A shares and $628, $9,238 and $34 in contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class B, Class C and Investor Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class. Administrator Class of the Fund is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments related to investments in the Master Portfolio, exclusive of short-term securities (securities with maturities of one year or less at purchase date), for the six months ended January 31, 2011 were $42,700,129 and $217,925,040, respectively. Purchases and sales related to investments in the Master Portfolio have been calculated by aggregating the results of multiplying the Fund’s ownership percentage of the Master Portfolio by the corresponding Master Portfolio’s purchases and sales.

6. ACQUISITION
After the close of business on July 16, 2010, the Fund, which is the legal survivor, acquired the net assets of Evergreen Equity Index Fund, the accounting and performance survivor. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of all of the shares of Evergreen Equity Index Fund. Shareholders holding Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I and Class IS shares of Evergreen Equity Index Fund received Class A, Class B, Class C, Administrator Class and Class A, respectively, of the Fund in the reorganization. The exchange ratio and number of shares issued to the Evergreen Equity Index Fund were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Exchange | | Number of |
Acquired Fund | | Ratio | | Shares Issued |
|
Evergreen Equity Index Fund | | | 0.84 | | | 4,268,353 Class A |
| | | 0.83 | | | 559,413 Class B |
| | | 0.84 | | | 2,053,271 Class C |
| | | 0.83 | | | 1,774,390 Administrator Class |
The investment portfolio of the Fund with a fair value of $1,591,379,476, identified cost of $1,453,712,899 and unrealized appreciation of $137,666,577 at July 16, 2010 were the principal assets acquired by the accounting and performance survivor. The shares and net assets of the Fund immediately prior to the acquisition were 40,646,939 shares and $1,592,296,663, respectively. The aggregate net assets of Evergreen Equity Index Fund immediately prior to the acquisition were $338,122,147. The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately after the acquisition were $1,930,418,810. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting the Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed August 1, 2009, the beginning of the annual reporting period for the Fund, the Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended July 31, 2010 would have been:
| | | | |
|
Net investment income | | $ | 33,097,370 | |
Net realized and unrealized gains on investments | | $ | 219,667,075 | |
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations | | $ | 252,764,445 | |
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 the Fund that have been included in the Statement of Operations since July 19, 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 Fund is 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 the 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 January 31, 2011, 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.

Notes to Portfolio of Investments
Investments in securities are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, which is usually 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). Securities which are traded on a national or foreign securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, except that securities listed on the The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), and if no NOCP is available, then at the last reported sales price. If no sales price is shown on the Nasdaq, the bid price will be used. In the absence of any sale of securities listed on the Nasdaq, and in the case of other securities, including U.S. Government obligations, but excluding debt securities maturing in 60 days or less, the price will be deemed “stale” and the valuations will be determined in accordance with the Fair Valuation Procedures of Wells Fargo Advantage Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”).
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, which approximates fair value.
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 to measure fair value are consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach, where applicable, for each security type.
Security loans
The Portfolio may lend its 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. The Portfolio continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The 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, the 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 Portfolio lends its 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 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-advisor. 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.
In a securities lending transaction, the net asset value of the 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 the 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 funds’ 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 fund. In order to eliminate the fluctuation of the various funds’ ratable exposure to the defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicles, the investment adviser to the funds 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 funds participating in
| | |
| | |
Notes to Portfolio of Investments (Unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Index Portfolio 35 |
securities lending (“side pocketing”) based on each fund’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 fund’s ownership of defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicle in the joint account based on each such fund’s percentage ownership of the joint account as of such date.
Futures contracts
The Portfolio may be subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio 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 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 Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
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 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). The 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 January 31, 2011, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s assets, which are carried at fair value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

2 Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Stock Funds | | Letter to Shareholders |
While the equity markets delivered strong six-month returns against the backdrop of a strengthening economy, the period was not without its share of macroeconomic challenges, domestic and international political uncertainty, and market volatility
Dear Valued Shareholder,
We are pleased to provide you with this semiannual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Stock Funds for the six-month period that ended January 31, 2011.
While the equity markets delivered strong six-month returns against the backdrop of a strengthening economy, the period was not without its share of macroeconomic challenges, domestic and international political uncertainty, and market volatility—once again highlighting the value of a well-diversified investment strategy. As always, we believe that such a strategy can enable investors to balance risks and opportunities as they pursue long-term financial goals in a dynamic market environment.
The economic recovery stayed on track.
The U.S. economic recovery that began in the summer of 2009 gained momentum, particularly toward the end of 2010. After expanding by 2.6% in the third quarter of 2010, gross domestic product (GDP) accelerated to an annualized rate of 3.2% in the fourth quarter. Although the path of recovery has been uneven at times and growth remains subpar compared with previous recoveries, the general consensus among economists is that the economy will likely avoid a double-dip recession. That said, persistent weakness in the labor and housing markets bears close watching in the months ahead.
Jobs and housing remained troublesome.
At the end of the year, the unemployment rate stood at 9.4%—down from 9.9% a year earlier but still stubbornly high. The rate fell even further in January 2011 to 9.0%. Unfortunately, the drop may be more attributable to a decline in the labor force than to a meaningful uptick in hiring. In fact, employers added only 1.1 million jobs for all of 2010, suggesting that the improving economy has yet to translate into widespread hiring. Meanwhile, the beleaguered housing market was an ongoing source of concern, despite some tentative late-year signs of stabilization.
Other economic data were more encouraging, reflecting greater confidence in the recovery on the part of both consumers and businesses. Retail sales came in strong at certain points during the year—including the critical holiday shopping season—while industrial production and new orders have picked up. Although still reluctant to hire, businesses have gradually increased spending in other areas, such as equipment and technology. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, remained benign.
The Fed continued to do its part.
With inflation subdued, the Federal Reserve (Fed) held its target range for the federal funds rate—a proxy for short-term interest rates—steady at 0% to 0.25%. In its first statement of 2011, released on January 26, the Fed explained that the most recent economic data “confirms that the economic recovery is continuing, though at a rate that has been insufficient to bring about significant improvement in labor market conditions.” The statement noted that, while consumer and business spending has risen, activity remains constrained due to modest income growth, lower housing wealth, and tight credit. As a result, the Fed indicated that it intends to keep short-term rates at historically low levels for as long as needed to promote a more robust recovery.

The Fed also stated that it plans to proceed with other stimulus measures, including its second round of quantitative easing (QE2)—a plan to purchase $600 billion in long-term Treasury securities by mid-2011. The introduction of QE2 in November 2010 marked a turning point for equity markets in that it ushered in a favorable shift in investor sentiment. By and large, investors interpreted the plan as further evidence of the Fed’s commitment to stabilizing the rate of inflation and spurring economic growth.
The second half of 2010 was a solid year for equities.
QE2 was certainly not the only catalyst for the equity markets over the six-month period that ended January 31, 2011. Along with more upbeat economic data, better-than-expected corporate earnings played a role in driving stock prices higher. Throughout the past year, quarterly earnings per share for the majority of companies in the S&P 500 Index consistently exceeded Wall Street estimates. As 2010 drew to a close, the midterm congressional elections and the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts provided additional tailwinds, helping the markets finish the six-month period on a strong note.
For the six-month period, the broad equity market indexes posted exceptionally strong returns. The S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 17.9% and 15.2%, respectively, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite Index returned 20.5%. Investors were generally rewarded across the market-capitalization spectrum, with small- and mid-cap stocks outpacing large-cap stocks. In terms of investment style, growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts for the period.
To be sure, the gains were hard-earned, as the markets had to contend with numerous issues along the way, including the European sovereign debt crisis, civilian unrest and political upheaval in Tunisia and Egypt, China’s efforts to slow growth and manage inflation, and doubts about the sustainability of a domestic economic expansion. In particular, the early part of the third quarter witnessed bouts of heightened market volatility as economic data, although expanding remained tepid. This led to increased fears that the U.S. economy was losing momentum and falling back into a recession. As the third and fourth quarters progressed, however, volatility—as measured by the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index—abated amid reduced fears of a double-dip recession. This renewed optimism was bolstered by improving corporate earnings, additional stimulus from the Fed, and the midterm elections, which provided more clarity around tax policy and the regulatory environment.
Investors should keep a long-term perspective.
In our view, the equity markets’ dramatic rebound over the past two years from a severe downturn underscores the importance of maintaining a disciplined, long-term investment strategy through changing market cycles. By staying focused on your long-term goals, you may be better positioned to both navigate falling markets and participate in rising markets.

20 Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Stock 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 August 1, 2010 to January 31, 2011.
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.

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 Capital Growth Fund (“Capital Growth Fund”), Wells Fargo Advantage Endeavor Select Fund (“Endeavor Select”), Wells Fargo Advantage Growth Fund (“Growth Fund” ), Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Growth Fund (“Large Cap Growth Fund”), Wells Fargo Advantage Omega Growth Fund (“Omega Growth Fund”), Wells Fargo Advantage Premier Large Company Growth Fund (“Premier Large Company Growth Fund”) and Wells Fargo Advantage Strategic Large Cap Growth Fund (“Strategic Large Cap Growth Fund”) (each, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund, except for Endeavor Select Fund, is a diversified series of the Trust. Endeavor Select Fund is a non-diversified series of the Trust.
After the close of business on July 16, 2010, the net assets of various Evergreen Funds were acquired by various Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, which were created to receive the assets of the respective Evergreen Fund, in an exchange for shares of the Wells Fargo Advantage Fund. As the various Evergreen Funds contributed all of the net assets and shareholders to the newly created Wells Fargo Advantage Fund, the accounting and performance history of the Evergreen Fund has been carried forward in the financial statements contained herein.

Also, after the close of business on July 16, 2010, the net assets of Evergreen Large Company Growth Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Large Company Growth Fund were acquired by Premier Large Company Growth Fund, which was created to receive the assets of Evergreen Large Company Growth Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Large Company Growth Fund, in an exchange for shares of the newly created Premier Large Company Growth Fund. In each reorganization transaction, Evergreen Large Company Growth Fund became the accounting and performance survivor. As a result, the accounting and performance history of Evergreen Large Company Growth Fund has been carried forward in the financial statements contained herein.
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 securities are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, which is usually 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). Securities which are traded on a national or foreign securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, except that securities listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), and if no NOCP is available, then at the last reported sales price. If no sales price is shown on the Nasdaq, the bid price will be used. In the absence of any sale of securities listed on the Nasdaq, and in the case of other securities, including U.S. Government obligations, but excluding debt
| | |
| | |
76 Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Stock Funds | | Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
securities maturing in 60 days or less, the price will be deemed “stale” and the valuations will be determined in accordance with the Funds’ Fair Valuation Procedures.
Securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the closing rates of exchange in effect on the day of valuation.
Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange and therefore may not fully reflect trading or events that occur after the close of the principal exchange in which the foreign investments are traded but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. If such trading or events are expected to materially affect the value of the investments, then those investments are fair valued following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. These procedures take into account multiple factors including movements in U.S. securities markets after foreign exchanges close. Depending on market activity, such fair valuations may be frequent. Such fair value pricing may result in NAVs that are higher or lower than NAVs based on the closing price or latest quoted bid price.
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 Funds’ 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 Funds to measure fair value are consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach, where applicable, for each security type.
Foreign currency translation
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets, including investment securities, and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually paid or received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities resulting in changes in exchange rates.
The changes in net assets arising from changes in exchange rates and the changes in net assets resulting from changes in market prices of securities are not separately presented. Such changes are recorded with net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. Gains and losses from certain foreign currency transactions are treated as ordinary income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Security loans
The Funds 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 Fund continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. A Fund 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 Fund on the next business day. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the borrower, a Fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the loaned securities or
| | |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Stock Funds 77 |
in gaining access to the collateral. In addition, the investment of any cash collateral received may lose all or part of its value. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
The Funds 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 Statement of Operations.
In a securities lending transaction, the net asset value of a Fund 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 Fund fluctuates from time to time. Each Fund, except Omega Growth Fund and Strategic Large Cap Growth Fund, holds securities related to defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicles. After the occurrence of a default or impairment of structured investment vehicles purchased in a joint account by each Fund’s or acquired Fund’s former securities lending agent, as the various participating Funds’ 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 Fund. In order to eliminate the fluctuation of the various Funds’ ratable exposure to the defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicles, the adviser to the Funds 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 funds participating in securities lending (“side pocketing”) based on each Fund’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 Fund’s ownership of defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicle in the joint account based on each such Fund’s percentage ownership of the joint account as of such date.
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.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
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 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.

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
At July 31, 2010, Large Cap Growth Fund had $2,157,665 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 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) |
| | |

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES

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 sub-adviser, who is responsible for day-to-day portfolio management of the Funds. Pursuant to the contract, Funds Management is paid an annual investment advisory fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each Fund as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | Effective rate for |
| | Annual investment advisory fee | | six months ended |

Funds Management may retain the services of certain investment sub-advisers to provide daily portfolio management to the Funds. Wells Capital Management, an affiliate of Funds Management, is the investment sub-adviser for each 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 a Fund to the investment adviser. The investment sub-adviser is paid an annual investment sub-advisory fee starting at 0.35% and declining to 0.15% as the average daily net assets of each Fund increase.

6. ACQUISITIONS
After the close of business on July 16, 2010, Capital Growth Fund acquired the net assets of Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Appreciation Fund. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. Shareholders holding Class A, Class B, Class C, Administrator Class and Institutional Class shares of Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Appreciation Fund received Class A, Class A, Class C, Administrator Class and Institutional Class shares, respectively, of Capital Growth Fund in the reorganization. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of all of the shares of Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Appreciation Fund for 2,167,680 shares of Capital Growth Fund valued at $28,058,356 at an exchange ratio of 0.63, 0.59, 0.60, 0.38, and 0.62 for Class A, Class A, Class C, Institutional Class and Administrator Class shares, respectively. The investment portfolio of Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Appreciation Fund with a fair value of $28,005,044, identified cost of $25,947,445 and unrealized gains of $2,057,599 at July 16, 2010 were the principal assets acquired by Capital Growth Fund. The aggregate net assets of Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Appreciation Fund and Capital Growth Fund immediately prior to the acquisition were $28,058,356 and $1,224,216,103, respectively. The aggregate net assets of Capital Growth Fund immediately after the acquisition were $1,252,274,459. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Capital Growth Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Appreciation Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Capital Growth Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed August 1, 2009, the beginning of the annual reporting period for Capital Growth Fund, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended July 31, 2010 would have been:
| | | | |
|
Net investment loss | | $ | (3,026,839 | ) |
Net realized and unrealized gains on investments | | $ | 158,025,382 | |
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations | | $ | 154,998,543 | |
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 Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Appreciation Fund that have been included in Capital Growth Fund’s Statement of Operations since July 19, 2010.
After the close of business on July 16, 2010, Premier Large Company Growth Fund acquired the net assets of Evergreen Large Company Growth Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Large Company Growth Fund. The purpose of the transactions was to combine three funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. The acquisitions were accomplished by a tax-free exchange of all of the shares of Evergreen Large Company Growth Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Large Company Growth Fund. Shareholders holding Class A, Class B and Class C shares of Evergreen Large Company Growth Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Large Company Growth Fund received Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, of Premier Large Company Growth Fund in the reorganizations. Class I shares of Evergreen Large Company Growth Fund received Institutional shares of Premier Large Company Growth

Fund. Investor Class, Administrator Class and Institutional Class shares of Wells Fargo Advantage Large Company Growth Fund received Investor Class, Administrator Class and Institutional Class shares, respectively, of Premier Large Company Growth Fund. The investment portfolio of Evergreen Large Company Growth Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Large Company Growth Fund with fair values of $324,396,527 and $307,032,344, respectively, and identified costs of $302,535,741 and $298,318,862, respectively, at July 16, 2010, were the principal assets acquired Premier Large Company Growth Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Premier Large Company Growth Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Evergreen Large Company Growth Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Large Company Growth Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Premier Large Company Growth 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:

The aggregate net assets of the Premier Large Company Growth Fund immediately after the acquisitions were $632,188,983.
Assuming the acquisitions had been completed October 1, 2009, the beginning of the annual reporting period for Premier Large Company Growth Fund, the pro forma results of operations for the period ended July 31, 2010 would have been.

Net investment income | | $ | 338,936 | |
Net realized and unrealized gains on investments | | $ | 11,137,832 | |
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations | | $ | 11,476,768 | |

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 January 31, 2011, 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.

2 Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Stock Funds | | Letter to Shareholders |
Karla M. Rabusch,
President
Wells Fargo Advantage Funds
While the equity markets delivered strong six-month returns against the backdrop of a strengthening economy, the period was not without its share of macroeconomic challenges, domestic and international political uncertainty, and market volatility
Dear Valued Shareholder,
We are pleased to provide you with this semiannual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Stock Funds for the six-month period that ended January 31, 2011.
While the equity markets delivered strong six-month returns against the backdrop of a strengthening economy, the period was not without its share of macroeconomic challenges, domestic and international political uncertainty, and market volatility—once again highlighting the value of a well-diversified investment strategy. As always, we believe that such a strategy can enable investors to balance risks and opportunities as they pursue long-term financial goals in a dynamic market environment.
The economic recovery stayed on track.
The U.S. economic recovery that began in the summer of 2009 gained momentum, particularly toward the end of 2010. After expanding by 2.6% in the third quarter of 2010, gross domestic product (GDP) accelerated to an annualized rate of 3.2% in the fourth quarter. Although the path of recovery has been uneven at times and growth remains subpar compared with previous recoveries, the general consensus among economists is that the economy will likely avoid a double-dip recession. That said, persistent weakness in the labor and housing markets bears close watching in the months ahead.
Jobs and housing remained troublesome.
At the end of the year, the unemployment rate stood at 9.4%—down from 9.9% a year earlier but still stubbornly high. The rate fell even further in January 2011 to 9.0%. Unfortunately, the drop may be more attributable to a decline in the labor force than to a meaningful uptick in hiring. In fact, employers added only 1.1 million jobs for all of 2010, suggesting that the improving economy has yet to translate into widespread hiring. Meanwhile, the beleaguered housing market was an ongoing source of concern, despite some tentative late-year signs of stabilization.
Other economic data were more encouraging, reflecting greater confidence in the recovery on the part of both consumers and businesses. Retail sales came in strong at certain points during the year—including the critical holiday shopping season—while industrial production and new orders have picked up. Although still reluctant to hire, businesses have gradually increased spending in other areas, such as equipment and technology. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, remained benign.
The Fed continued to do its part.
With inflation subdued, the Federal Reserve (Fed) held its target range for the federal funds rate—a proxy for short-term interest rates—steady at 0% to 0.25%. In its first statement of 2011, released on January 26, the Fed explained that the most recent economic data “confirms that the economic recovery is continuing,
| | |

though at a rate that has been insufficient to bring about significant improvement in labor market conditions.” The statement noted that, while consumer and business spending has risen, activity remains constrained due to modest income growth, lower housing wealth, and tight credit. As a result, the Fed indicated that it intends to keep short-term rates at historically low levels for as long as needed to promote a more robust recovery.
The Fed also stated that it plans to proceed with other stimulus measures, including its second round of quantitative easing (QE2)—a plan to purchase $600 billion in long-term Treasury securities by mid-2011. The introduction of QE2 in November 2010 marked a turning point for equity markets in that it ushered in a favorable shift in investor sentiment. By and large, investors interpreted the plan as further evidence of the Fed’s commitment to stabilizing the rate of inflation and spurring economic growth.
The second half of 2010 was a solid year for equities.
QE2 was certainly not the only catalyst for the equity markets over the six-month period that ended January 31, 2011. Along with more upbeat economic data, better-than-expected corporate earnings played a role in driving stock prices higher. Throughout the past year, quarterly earnings per share for the majority of companies in the S&P 500 Index consistently exceeded Wall Street estimates. As 2010 drew to a close, the midterm congressional elections and the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts provided additional tailwinds, helping the markets finish the six-month period on a strong note.
For the six-month period, the broad equity market indexes posted exceptionally strong returns. The S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 17.9% and 15.2%, respectively, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite Index returned 20.5%. Investors were generally rewarded across the market-capitalization spectrum, with small- and mid-cap stocks outpacing large-cap stocks. In terms of investment style, growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts for the period.
To be sure, the gains were hard-earned, as the markets had to contend with numerous issues along the way, including the European sovereign debt crisis, civilian unrest and political upheaval in Tunisia and Egypt, China’s efforts to slow growth and manage inflation, and doubts about the sustainability of a domestic economic expansion. In particular, the early part of the third quarter witnessed bouts of heightened market volatility as economic data, although expanding remained tepid. This led to increased fears that the U.S. economy was losing momentum and falling back into a recession. As the third and fourth quarters progressed, however, volatility—as measured by the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index—abated amid reduced fears of a double-dip recession. This renewed optimism was bolstered by improving corporate earnings, additional stimulus from the Fed, and the midterm elections, which provided more clarity around tax policy and the regulatory environment.

20 Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Stock 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 August 1, 2010 to January 31, 2011.
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.

These financial statements report on the following funds: Wells Fargo Advantage Classic Value Fund (“Classic Value Fund”), Wells Fargo Advantage Core Equity Fund (“Core Equity Fund”), Wells Fargo Advantage Disciplined U.S. Core Fund (“Disciplined U.S. Core Fund”), Wells Fargo Advantage Disciplined Value Fund (“Disciplined Value Fund”), Wells Fargo Advantage Intrinsic Value Fund (“Intrinsic Value Fund”), Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Core Fund (“Large Cap Core Fund”) and Wells Fargo Advantage Large Company Value Fund (“Large Company Value Fund”) (each, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.
After the close of business on July 16, 2010, the net assets of various Evergreen Funds were acquired by various Wells Fargo Advantage Funds which were created to receive the assets of the respective Evergreen fund, in an exchange for shares of the Wells Fargo Advantage fund. As the various Evergreen Funds contributed the all of the net assets and shareholders to the newly created Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, the accounting and performance history of the Evergreen fund has been carried forward.

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
| | |
|
80 Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Stock Funds | | Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
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 securities are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, which is usually 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). Securities which are traded on a national or foreign securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, except that securities listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), and if no NOCP is available, then at the last reported sales price. If no sales price is shown on the Nasdaq, the bid price will be used. In the absence of any sale of securities listed on the Nasdaq, and in the case of other securities, including U.S. Government obligations, but excluding debt securities maturing in 60 days or less, the price will be deemed “stale” and the valuations will be determined in accordance with the Funds’ Fair Valuation Procedures.
Securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the closing rates of exchange in effect on the day of valuation.
Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange and therefore may not fully reflect trading or events that occur after the close of the principal exchange in which the foreign investments are traded but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. If such trading or events are expected to materially affect the value of the investments, then those investments are fair valued following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. These procedures take into account multiple factors including movements in U.S. securities markets after foreign exchanges close. Depending on market activity, such fair valuations may be frequent. Such fair value pricing may result in NAVs that are higher or lower than NAVs based on the closing price or latest quoted bid price.
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 Funds to measure fair value are consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach, where applicable, for each security type.
Security loans
The Funds 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 Fund continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. A Fund 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 Fund on the next business day. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the borrower, a Fund 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 Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
The Funds 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Large Cap Stock Funds 81 |
In a securities lending transaction, the net asset value of a Fund 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 Fund fluctuates from time to time. As a result of the reorganizations on July 16, 2010, each Fund, except Core Equity Fund, Discipline U.S. Core Fund and Intrinsic Value Fund, holds securities related to defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicles through securities lending transactions. After the occurrence of a default or impairment of structured investment vehicles purchased in a joint account by the Wells Fargo acquired fund’s former securities lending agent, as the various participating Funds’ 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 Fund. In order to eliminate the fluctuation of the various Funds’ ratable exposure to the defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicles, the adviser to the Funds 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 funds participating in securities lending (“side pocketing”) based on each Fund’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 Fund’s ownership of defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicle in the joint account based on each such Fund’s percentage ownership of the joint account as of such date.
Futures contracts
Certain Funds may be subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Funds 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.
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 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.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
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 Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund of the Trust 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.

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
As of July 31, 2010, Intrinsic Value Fund had $4,027,230 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 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.

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 Wells Fargo Advantage Large Company Core Fund that have been included in Large Cap Core Fund’s Statement of Operations since July 19, 2010.
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 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 January 31, 2011, there were no borrowings by the Funds 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 Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
After the close of business on March 28, 2011, Intrinsic Value Fund redeemed assets through an in-kind redemption. In the redemption transaction, the Fund issued securities with a value of $427,928,397 and cash in the amount of $23,965,784 and recognized gains in the amount of $127,937,466. The redemption in-kind by a shareholder of the Administrator Class represented 44% of Intrinsic Value Fund.

While the equity markets delivered strong six-month returns against the backdrop of a strengthening economy, the period was not without its share of macroeconomic challenges, domestic and international political uncertainty, and market volatility—once again highlighting the value of a well-diversified investment strategy. As always, we believe that such a strategy can enable investors to balance risks and opportunities as they pursue long-term financial goals in a dynamic market environment.
The economic recovery stayed on track.
The U.S. economic recovery that began in the summer of 2009 gained momentum, particularly toward the end of 2010. After expanding by 2.6% in the third quarter of 2010, gross domestic product (GDP) accelerated to an annualized rate of 3.2% in the fourth quarter of 2010. Although the path of recovery has been uneven at times and growth remains subpar compared with previous recoveries, the general consensus among economists is that the economy will likely avoid a double-dip recession. That said, persistent weakness in the labor and housing markets bears close watching in the months ahead.
Jobs and housing remained troublesome.
At the end of the year, the unemployment rate stood at 9.4%—down from 9.9% a year earlier but still stubbornly high. The rate fell even further in January 2011 to 9.0%. Unfortunately, the drop may be more attributable to a decline in the labor force than to a meaningful uptick in hiring. In fact, employers added only 1.1 million jobs for all of 2010, suggesting that the improving economy has yet to translate into widespread hiring. Meanwhile, the beleaguered housing market was an ongoing source of concern, despite some tentative late-year signs of stabilization.
Other economic data were more encouraging, reflecting greater confidence in the recovery on the part of both consumers and businesses. Retail sales came in strong at certain points during the year—including the critical holiday shopping season—while industrial production and new orders have picked up. Although still reluctant to hire, businesses have gradually increased spending in other areas, such as equipment and technology. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, remained benign.
The Fed continued to do its part.
With inflation subdued, the Federal Reserve (Fed) held its target range for the federal funds rate—a proxy for short-term interest rates—steady at 0% to 0.25%. In its first statement of 2011, released on January 26, the Fed explained that the most recent economic data “confirms that the economic recovery is continuing,

though at a rate that has been insufficient to bring about significant improvement in labor market conditions.” The statement noted that, while consumer and business spending has risen, activity remains constrained due to modest income growth, lower housing wealth, and tight credit. As a result, the Fed indicated that it intends to keep short-term rates at historically low levels for as long as needed to promote a more robust recovery.
The Fed also stated that it plans to proceed with other stimulus measures, including its second round of quantitative easing (QE2)—a plan to purchase $600 billion in long-term Treasury securities by mid-2011. The introduction of QE2 in November 2010 marked a turning point for equity markets in that it ushered in a favorable shift in investor sentiment. By and large, investors interpreted the plan as further evidence of the Fed’s commitment to stabilizing the rate of inflation and spurring economic growth.
The second half of 2010 was a solid year for equities.
QE2 was certainly not the only catalyst for equity markets over the six-month period that ended January 31, 2011. Along with more upbeat economic data, better-than-expected corporate earnings played a role in driving stock prices higher. Throughout the past year, quarterly earnings per share for the majority of companies in the S&P 500 Index consistently exceeded Wall Street estimates. As 2010 drew to a close, the midterm congressional elections and the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts provided additional tailwinds, helping the markets finish the six-month period on a strong note.
For the six-month period, the broad equity market indexes posted exceptionally strong returns. The S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 17.9% and 15.2%, respectively, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite Index returned 20.5%. Investors were generally rewarded across the market-capitalization spectrum, with small- and mid-cap stocks outpacing large-cap stocks. In terms of investment style, growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts for the period.
To be sure, the gains were hard-earned, as the markets had to contend with numerous issues along the way, including the European sovereign debt crisis, civilian unrest and political upheaval in Tunisia and Egypt, China’s efforts to slow growth and manage inflation, and doubts about the sustainability of a domestic economic expansion. In particular, the early part of the third quarter witnessed bouts of heightened market volatility as economic data, although expanding, remained tepid. This led to increased fears that the U.S. economy was losing momentum and falling back into a recession. As the third and fourth quarters progressed, however, volatility—as measured by the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index—abated amid reduced fears of a double-dip recession. This renewed optimism was bolstered by improving corporate earnings, additional stimulus from the Fed, and the midterm elections, which provided more clarity around tax policy and the regulatory environment.

* | | Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. |
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.
For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 5.75%. 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.
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.
Stock fund values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Because the social screens applied to the Fund’s investments may exclude securities of certain issuers, industries, and sectors for nonfinancial reasons, the Fund may forgo some market opportunities available to funds that do not use these screens. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). This Fund is exposed to foreign investment risk and social investment risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

|
4. | | The investment adviser has contractually committed through November 30, 2011 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain the Fund’s contractual expense ratio for Class A shares at 1.25%, Class C shares at 2.00% and Administrator Class shares at 1.00%, excluding acquired fund fees and certain other expenses. Without these reductions, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. |

5. | | 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. |

8 Wells Fargo Advantage Social Sustainability 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 August 1, 2010 to January 31, 2011.
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.

18 Wells Fargo Advantage Social Sustainability 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 Social Sustainability Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
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
Investments in securities are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, which is usually 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). Securities which are traded on a national or foreign securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, except that securities listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), and if no NOCP is available, then at the last reported sales price. If no sales price is shown on the Nasdaq, the bid price will be used. In the absence of any sale of securities listed on the Nasdaq, and in the case of other securities, including U.S. Government obligations, but excluding debt securities maturing in 60 days or less, the price will be deemed “stale” and the valuations will be determined in accordance with the Fund’s Fair Valuation Procedures.
Securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the closing rates of exchange in effect on the day of valuation.
Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange and therefore may not fully reflect trading or events that occur after the close of the principal exchange in which the foreign investments are traded but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. If such trading or events are expected to materially affect the value of the investments, then those investments are fair valued following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. These procedures take into account multiple factors including movements in U.S. securities markets after foreign exchanges close. Depending on market activity, such fair valuations may be frequent. Such fair value pricing may result in NAVs that are higher or lower than NAVs based on the closing price or latest quoted bid price.
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.
Foreign currency translation
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets, including investment securities, and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually paid or received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities resulting in changes in exchange rates.
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Social Sustainability Fund 19 |
The changes in net assets arising from changes in exchange rates and the changes in net assets resulting from changes in market prices of securities are not separately presented. Such changes are recorded with net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. Gains and losses from certain foreign currency transactions are treated as ordinary income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
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.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
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
The 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.
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.
Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
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 value hierarchy based
| | |
20 Wells Fargo Advantage Social Sustainability Fund | | Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
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 January 31, 2011, the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets, which are carried at fair value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | Significant Other | | Significant | | |
| | Quoted Prices | | Observable Inputs | | Unobservable Inputs | | |

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 Fund.
Pursuant to the contract, Funds Management is paid an annual investment advisory fee starting at 0.65% and declining to 0.55% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the six months ended January 31, 2011, the investment advisory fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.65% 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. Nelson Capital Management LLC, an affiliate of Fund Management and a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the investment sub-adviser to the Fund and is paid a fee by the investment adviser at an annual rate starting at 0.45% and declining to 0.25% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
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

| | Over $10 billion | | | 0.03 | |
Class A and Class C | | All asset levels | | | 0.26 | |
Administrator Class | | All asset levels | | | 0.10 | |
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 Fund. 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 C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to the Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the class.
For the six months ended January 31, 2011, Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC received $777 from the sale of Class A shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C and Administrator Class are 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.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

6. 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 Fund is 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 the 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 January 31, 2011, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. 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.
