Re: Wells Fargo Funds Trust
Registration Statement on Form N-14
File Number: 333-208616
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the General Rules and Regulations thereunder, enclosed for filing electronically is Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form N-14 of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the "Trust"). This filing relates to the acquisition of the assets of:
-- Golden Small Cap Core Fund, a series of Forum Funds, by and in exchange for shares of Wells Fargo Small Cap Core Fund (an “Acquiring Fund,” that will be created in order to receive the assets and liabilities of Golden Small Cap Core Fund), a series of the Trust,
-- Golden Large Cap Core Fund, a series of Forum Funds, by and in exchange for shares of Wells Fargo Large Cap Core Fund (an “Acquiring Fund”), a series of the Trust;
The Prospectus/Proxy Statement which constitutes Part A of the Registration Statement will be used in connection with a special joint meeting of shareholders of Golden Small Cap Core Fund and Golden Large Cap Core Fund (each a “Target Fund”, together the “Target Funds”), at which shareholders of each Target Fund will be asked to vote on the proposed acquisition of their fund by the Acquiring Fund listed above. Included in the Registration Statement is the form of proxy that will be used in connection with such meeting of shareholders.
At this time, the Registrant respectively requests an effective date of February 18, 2016 pursuant to Rule 488 under the Securities Act.
No registration fee is being paid at the time of filing because the Trust has previously filed an election under Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to register an indefinite number of shares.
Any questions or comments with respect to this filing may be directed to the undersigned at (617) 210-3662.
Very truly yours,
