Equity returns were bolstered by positive economic growth and accommodative monetary policies in many countries. Many fixed-income returns were modestly positive because interest rates stabilized and credit conditions were favorable, enabling lower-quality bonds to do well.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Allocation Funds for the six-month period that ended November 30, 2013. Equity returns were bolstered by positive economic growth and accommodative monetary policies in many countries. Many fixed-income returns were modestly positive because interest rates stabilized and credit conditions were favorable, enabling lower-quality bonds to do well.
Economic growth was no longer a negative for investors.
Fears of a stalling U.S. economy, a eurozone recession, and a hard landing in China were largely erased. The U.S. economy grew modestly during the past six months. Broadly speaking, the U.S. saw gains in business investment and housing alongside some drag from government spending. Employment trended in the right direction, with the unemployment rate declining, though still higher than satisfactory levels. Meanwhile, monetary policy remained accommodative throughout the period. At the end of November 2013, the federal funds rate remained near zero and the quantitative easing program continued at the rate of $85 billion per month.
In other parts of the world, the eurozone ended its recession and began registering positive growth. While Germany was the healthiest of the eurozone economies, many of the troubled southern countries—such as Spain and Portugal—began growing again or showed significantly improved growth trends. Another sign of healing was that yields on government debt in Europe’s peripheral countries declined. Japan, meanwhile, continued its recovery. Emerging markets growth was mixed, but China’s growth appeared to stabilize. Meanwhile, the European Central Bank kept its monetary policy accommodative, lowering its short-term interest rates from 0.50% to 0.25% in November 2013.
Investor optimism resulted in positive equity returns.
Investor confidence grew during the period as economic concerns lessened. Stock markets also benefited from easy monetary policies and resolutions of political problems, such as the end of the U.S. government shutdown. As a result, the S&P 500 Index1 returned 11.91% for the six-month period that ended November 30, 2013. The index also managed to end higher than 1,800, a level typically considered a threshold for investor optimism. Meanwhile, the MSCI ACWI ex USA (Net)2, a measure of non-U.S. developed country equities, returned 9.37% during the six-month period that ended November 30, 2013.
Bond markets struggled to return to positive territory.
During the six months ended November 30, 2013, most categories of non-U.S. Treasury bonds managed to earn positive returns. However, it was a volatile path to positive results, and U.S. Treasury bonds did not manage to claw back into positive territory. June 2013 was a difficult month for bonds because yields increased in response to Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke’s comments about the scaling back of its bond-buying program. Interest rates then stabilized, and

investment-grade and high-yield bond markets began generating positive returns. U.S. Treasury bonds bore the brunt of the interest-rate increase, while bonds in lower-tier credit categories benefited from a yield cushion and investor appetite for equity-correlated returns.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect 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, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wellsfargoadvantagefunds.com.
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 shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Balanced funds may invest in stocks and bonds. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to foreign investment risk, mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, and smaller-company securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder service fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2013 to November 30, 2013.
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) and contingent deferred sales charges. 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 (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: the Wells Fargo Advantage Growth Balanced Fund (“Growth Balanced Fund”) and the Wells Fargo Advantage Moderate Balanced Fund (“Moderate Balanced Fund” ) (each, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Funds each seek to achieve their investment objective by investing primarily all investable assets in two or more separate diversified portfolios (each, an “affiliated Master Portfolio”, collectively, the “affiliated Master Portfolios”) of Wells Fargo Master Trust, a registered open-end management investment company. Each affiliated Master Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities, and a Fund investing in an affiliated Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. Each Fund accounts for its investment in the affiliated Master Portfolios as partnership investments and records on a daily basis its share of the affiliated Master Portfolio’s income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements of the affiliated Master Portfolios for the six months ended November 30, 2013 are included in this report and should be read in conjunction with each Fund’s financial statements. As of November 30, 2013, the Funds own the following percentages of the affiliated Master Portfolios:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Growth Balanced Fund | | | Moderate Balanced Fund | |
Wells Fargo Advantage C&B Large Cap Value Portfolio | | | 4 | % | | | 2 | % |
Wells Fargo Advantage Core Bond Portfolio | | | 1 | | | | 1 | |

* | The amount invested is less than 1%. |
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.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).
Investments in the affiliated Master Portfolios are valued daily based on each Fund’s proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s net assets, which are also valued daily. Securities held in the affiliated Master Portfolios are valued as discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements of the affiliated Master Portfolios, which are included elsewhere in this report.
Futures that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price.
Short-term securities, with maturities of 60 days or less at time of purchase, 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.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Allocation Funds | | | 21 | |
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Funds. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the adviser and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Futures contracts
Each Fund may be subject to interest rate risk and equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Each Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by each 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 when available. 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 each 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 in by each Fund and each affiliated Master Portfolio. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost by each Fund and each affiliated Master Portfolio.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method by each Fund and each affiliated Master Portfolio. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Dividend income in each affiliated Master Portfolio is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the affiliated Master Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date.
Income from foreign securities in each affiliated Master Portfolio is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
Each Fund records daily its proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s interest and dividend income and realized and unrealized gains or losses.
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 federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
| | | | |
22 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Allocation Funds | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
At May 31, 2013, capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains were as follows through the indicated expiration dates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2017 | | | 2018 | |
Growth Balanced Fund | | $ | 11,249,610 | | | $ | 79,417,787 | | | $ | 82,578,227 | |
Moderate Balanced Fund | | | 0 | | | | 0 | | | | 5,730,209 | |
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 significant 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:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | 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 investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
As of November 30, 2013, the inputs used in valuing investments in securities were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Investments in securities | | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

For certain types of derivative transactions, the Funds have entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) or similar agreements with approved counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities or cash to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral and allows each Fund to offset, with each counterparty, certain derivative financial instrument’s assets and/or liabilities with collateral held or pledged. Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange traded derivatives while collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of each Fund under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, for the same purpose are noted in each Portfolio of Investments. With respect to balance sheet offsetting, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between each Fund and the applicable counterparty. As of November 30, 2013, the Funds have transactions subject to enforceable master netting agreements. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to the net amounts by derivative type, including any collateral exposure, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Gross amounts of liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities | | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | | Collateral | | | Net amount (not less than $0) | |
Growth Balanced Fund | | Futures – variation margin | | $ | 1,450 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 962,964 | | | $ | 0 | |
Moderate Balanced Fund | | Futures – variation margin | | | 1,000 | | | | 0 | | | | 659,975 | | | | 0 | |
7. BANK BORROWINGS
Each Fund and certain funds in the Trust are party to a $25,000,000 revolving credit agreement with the Bank of New York Mellon, 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, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.15% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. For the six months ended November 30, 2013, the Funds paid the following amounts in commitment fees:
| | | | |

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.

1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Master Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). These financial statements report on the following portfolios: the Wells Fargo Advantage C&B Large Cap Value Portfolio (“C&B Large Cap Value Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Large Cap Growth Portfolio (“Diversified Large Cap Growth Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Emerging Growth Portfolio (“Emerging Growth Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Index Portfolio (“Index Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage International Growth Portfolio (“International Growth Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage International Value Portfolio (“International Value Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Large Company Value Portfolio (“Large Company Value Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Small Company Growth Portfolio (“Small Company Growth Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Small Company Value Portfolio (“Small Company Value Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Core Bond Portfolio (“Core Bond Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio (“Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Managed Fixed Income Portfolio (“Managed Fixed Income Portfolio”), and the Wells Fargo Advantage Stable Income Portfolio (“Stable Income Portfolio”) (each, a “Portfolio”, collectively, the “Portfolios”). Each Portfolio is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Portfolios, which are master portfolios in a master/feeder structure, offer their shares to multiple feeder funds and other master portfolios rather than directly to the public.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Portfolio, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).
Equity securities and futures that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price. If no sale occurs on the primary exchange or market for the security that day, the prior day’s price will be deemed “stale” and fair values will be determined in accordance with the Portfolios’ Valuation Procedures.
The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies will be converted to U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”).
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 securities 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 such securities, then fair value pricing procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Portfolios are applied. These procedures take into account multiple factors including movements in U.S. securities markets after foreign exchanges close. Foreign securities that are fair valued under these procedures are categorized as Level 2 and the application of these procedures may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. 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 last reported sales price or latest quoted bid price. On November 30, 2013, such fair value pricing was not used in pricing foreign securities.
Fixed income securities acquired with maturities exceeding 60 days are valued based on evaluated bid prices provided by an independent pricing service which may utilize both transaction data and market information such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. If prices are not available from the independent pricing service or prices received are deemed not representative of market value, prices will be obtained from an independent broker-dealer or otherwise determined based on the Portfolios’ Valuation Procedures.
Short-term securities, with maturities of 60 days or less at time of purchase, 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 registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Non-registered investment vehicles are fair valued at net asset value.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Allocation Funds | | | 121 | |
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team. The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the adviser and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Foreign currency translation
The accounting records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies will be converted to U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Management Valuation Team. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are converted at the 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 from 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 Portfolios may lend their securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Portfolios continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The Portfolios receive 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 Portfolios on the next business day. In a securities lending transaction, the net asset value of the Portfolios 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 the instrument in which collateral is invested. The amount of securities lending activity undertaken by the Portfolios fluctuate from time to time, In the event of default or bankruptcy by the borrower, the Portfolios may be prevented from recovering the loaned securities or gaining access to the collateral or may experience delays or costs in doing so. In addition, the investment of any cash collateral received may lose all or part of its value. The Portfolios have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
The Portfolios lend their securities through an unaffiliated securities lending agent. Cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending transactions is invested in Wells Fargo Securities Lending Cash Investments, LLC (the “Securities Lending Fund”). The Securities Lending Fund is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act and is managed by Funds Management and is subadvised by Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”). Funds Management receives an advisory fee starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Securities Lending Fund increase. All of the fees received by Funds Management are paid to WellsCap for its services as subadviser. The Securities Lending 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. Securities Lending Fund investments are fair valued based upon the amortized cost valuation technique. Income earned from investment in the Securities Lending Fund is included in securities lending income on the Statements of Operations.

When-issued transactions
Each Portfolio may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. A Portfolio records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Portfolio’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Portfolio begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Term loans
Each Portfolio may invest in term loans. The Portfolio begins earning interest when the loans are funded. The loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. The Portfolio assumes the credit risk of the borrower and there could be potential loss to the Portfolio in the event of default by the borrower.
Futures contracts
Each Portfolio may be subject to interest rate risk and 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 when available. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
TBA sale commitments
Each Portfolio may enter into To Be Announced (“TBA”) sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities or offsetting TBA purchase commitments, which are deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as “cover” for the transaction. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under “Securities valuation”. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss. If the Portfolio delivers securities under the commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.
Inflation-indexed bonds and TIPS
Each Portfolio may invest in inflation-indexed bonds, including Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS). Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds (other than municipal inflation indexed bonds and certain corporate inflation-indexed bonds) will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal. The value of inflation-indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. If nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates may rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds, including TIPS, decline in value when real interest rates rise. In certain interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, inflation-indexed bonds may experience greater losses than other fixed income securities with similar durations.
Credit default swaps
Each Portfolio may be subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may enter into credit default swap contracts for hedging or speculative purposes to provide or receive a measure of protection against default on a referenced entity, obligation or index or for investment gains. Credit default swaps involve an exchange of a stream of payments for protection against the loss in value of an underlying security or index.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Allocation Funds | | | 123 | |
Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a guarantor (referred to as the seller of protection) and receives a periodic stream of payments, provided that there is no credit event, from another party (referred to as the buyer of protection) that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount over the term of the swap. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if a credit event is triggered, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. A credit event includes bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation default, obligation acceleration, repudiation/moratorium, and restructuring. The Portfolio may enter into credit default swaps as either the seller of protection or the buyer of protection. As the seller of protection, the Portfolio is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap and has assumed the risk of default of the underlying security or index. As the buyer of protection, the Portfolio could be exposed to risks if the seller of the protection defaults on its obligation to perform, or if there are unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Portfolio as the seller of protection could be required to make under the credit default swap contract would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap contract. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.
If the Portfolio is the seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of protection the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If the Portfolio is the buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will receive from the seller of protection the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
Any premiums paid or received on the transactions are recorded as an asset or liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized. The value of the swap contract is marked-to-market daily based on quotations from an independent pricing service or market makers and any change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Periodic payments made or received are recorded as realized gains or losses. In addition, payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized as realized gains or losses.
Certain credit default swap contracts entered into by the Portfolio provide for conditions that result in events of default or termination that enable the counterparty to the agreement to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty to terminate early may impact the amounts reported on the financial statements.
Mortgage dollar roll transactions
Each Portfolio may engage in mortgage dollar roll transactions through TBA mortgage-backed securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC). In a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a Portfolio sells a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar security from the institution at a later date at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different pre-payment histories. During the roll period, a Portfolio foregoes principal and interest paid on the securities. A Portfolio is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase as well as by the earnings on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract. The Portfolios account for TBA dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date.
Income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.

Federal and other taxes
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The Portfolios are not required to pay federal income taxes on their net investment income and net capital gain as they are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. All interest, dividends, gains and losses of a Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the interestholders in proportion to their holdings of the Portfolio regardless of whether such interest, dividends and gains have been distributed by the Portfolio.
Each Portfolio’s income tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal revenue authority. Management has analyzed each Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Portfolio’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Each Portfolio’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | 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 investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
As of November 30, 2013, the inputs used in valuing investments in securities were as follows:

For certain types of derivative transactions, the Portfolios have entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) or similar agreements with approved counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities or cash to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral and allows each Portfolio to offset, with each counterparty, certain derivative financial instrument’s assets and/or liabilities with collateral held or pledged. Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange traded derivatives while collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of each Portfolio under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, for the same purpose are noted in each Portfolio of Investments. With respect to balance sheet offsetting, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between each Portfolio and the applicable counterparty.

Assuming the acquisitions had been completed June 1, 2012, the beginning of the annual reporting period for Small Company Value Portfolio, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended May 31, 2013 would have been
| | | | |
Net investment income | | $ | 1,370,856 | |
Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments | | $ | 53,680,718 | |
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations | | $ | 55,051,574 | |
8. CONCENTRATION RISK
Concentration risks result from exposure to a limited number of sectors. Portfolios that invest a substantial portion of their assets in a sector may be more affected by changes in that sector than would be a fund whose investments are not heavily weighted in any sector.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Advantage Funds
Major central banks continued to inject liquidity into the banks and the markets through various quantitative easing policies.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Equity Gateway Funds for the six-month period that ended November 30, 2013. Much of the period was marked by monetary easing by global central banks. Investor concerns that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) would end its bond-buying program initially led to higher interest rates, resulting in losses for bond indexes and volatility for global stock indexes. These fears dissipated in late September 2013 but were soon followed by concerns about a shutdown of the U.S. government. Nonetheless, increased confidence that the global economy was staging a fragile recovery resulted in double-digit returns for domestic and foreign developed stock market indexes for the six-month reporting period.
Central banks continued to provide stimulus.
Major central banks continued to inject liquidity into the banks and the markets through various quantitative easing policies. Throughout the reporting period, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)—the Fed’s monetary policymaking body—kept its key interest rate near zero in order to support the economy and the financial system. Well before the reporting period began, after its September 2012 meeting, the FOMC announced its intention to keep interest rates low until at least mid-2015 and to make open-ended purchases of $40 billion per month in mortgage-backed securities to support the housing market. In December 2012, the Fed increased its quantitative easing program by adding purchases of $45 billion per month in long-term U.S. Treasuries. In May 2013, just before the start of the reporting period, indications that the FOMC might reduce (or taper) its bond-buying program caused a rise in interest rates and a subsequent sell-off in both stocks and bonds that depressed market returns through August 2013. After its September 2013 meeting, however, the FOMC surprisingly signaled that tapering would be delayed, resulting in a stock and bond market rally that lasted through the end of the reporting period.
European markets continued to benefit from the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) earlier announcement that it would purchase an unlimited amount of one- to three-year sovereign debt from countries that had formally applied for a bailout. Just prior to the beginning of the reporting period, in May 2013, the ECB cut its key rate to a historic low of 0.5%. The ECB’s aggressive actions helped ease investor worries about a eurozone sovereign debt default. Given the substantial ties between the U.S. and Europe, the improved sentiment about the eurozone helped provide a tailwind for U.S. markets.
Finally, prodded by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to aggressively fight Japan’s long-lived deflation, the Bank of Japan announced an aggressive bond-buying program aimed at achieving a 2% annual inflation rate.
U.S. and developed foreign market stocks benefited from improving economic news.
For most of the period, U.S. economic data remained moderately positive. Reported gross domestic product growth came in at a solid 2.5% annualized rate in the second quarter of 2013 and an even better 4.1% annualized rate in the third quarter. The most significant negative effect was the ongoing fight in Washington, D.C. over the federal budget and debt limit. The Budget Control Act of 2011, which was passed to resolve a previous fight over the federal debt ceiling, mandated budget sequestration that took effect on March 1, 2013, and was an overhang on economic growth throughout the reporting period. Most recently, Congress was unable to pass a resolution to continue to fund the federal government, and thus the federal government underwent a partial shutdown from September 30, 2013,
| | | | | | |
Letter to shareholders (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Equity Gateway Funds | | | 3 | |
through October 16, 2013. The government reopened after the president and Congress reached a deal that funded the government through January 15, 2014, and raised the debt limit through February 7, 2014.
Despite political headwinds, the relatively positive outlook for the U.S. economy contributed to a strong domestic stock market for much of the reporting period. Economically sensitive sectors, such as industrials and consumer discretionary, outperformed. Judging by various Russell indexes, small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks, and growth stocks outperformed value stocks.
Overseas, European economies gained on strength in northern economies, such as Germany and the United Kingdom, and on signs of a fragile recovery in southern European economies, such as Spain. Meanwhile, the Japanese economy responded favorably to a series of aggressive actions that included both monetary and fiscal stimulus. The MSCI EAFE Index1, which measures developed market stocks, ended the period with a double-digit return.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. 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. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect 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, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wellsfargoadvantagefunds.com.
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, Institutional Class, and Investor Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Please keep in mind that high double-digit returns were primarily achieved during favorable market conditions. You should not expect that such favorable returns can be consistently achieved. A Fund’s performance, especially for very short time periods, should not be the sole factor in making your investment decision.
Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect 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, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

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 shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Please keep in mind that high double-digit returns were primarily achieved during favorable market conditions. You should not expect that such favorable returns can be consistently achieved. A Fund’s performance, especially for very short time periods, should not be the sole factor in making your investment decision.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect 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, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wellsfargoadvantagefunds.com.
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 Institutional Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Please keep in mind that high double-digit returns were primarily achieved during favorable market conditions. You should not expect that such favorable returns can be consistently achieved. A Fund’s performance, especially for very short time periods, should not be the sole factor in making your investment decision.
Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Smaller-company stocks tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those of larger companies. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to foreign investment risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

18 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Equity Gateway Funds | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder service fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2013 to November 30, 2013.
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) and contingent deferred sales charges. 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: the Wells Fargo Advantage C&B Large Cap Value Fund (“C&B Large Cap Value Fund”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Equity Fund (“Diversified Equity Fund”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Emerging Growth Fund (“Emerging Growth Fund”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Index Fund (“Index Fund”), the Wells Fargo Advantage International Value Fund (“International Value Fund”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Small Company Growth Fund (“Small Company Growth Fund”), and the Wells Fargo Advantage Small Company Value Fund (“Small Company Value Fund”) (each, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Funds each seek to achieve its investment objective by investing all investable assets in one or more separate diversified portfolios (each, an “affiliated Master Portfolio”, collectively, the “affiliated Master Portfolios”) of Wells Fargo Master Trust, a registered open-end management investment company. Each affiliated Master Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities, and a Fund investing in an affiliated Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. Each Fund accounts for its investment in the affiliated Master Portfolios as partnership investments and records on a daily basis its share of the affiliated Master Portfolio’s income, expense and realized and unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements of the affiliated Master Portfolios for the six months ended November 30, 2013, are included in this report and should be read in conjunction with each Fund’s financial statements. As of November 30, 2013, the Funds own the following percentages of the affiliated Master Portfolios:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).
Investments in the affiliated Master Portfolios are valued daily based on each Fund’s proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s net assets, which are also valued daily. Securities held in the affiliated Master Portfolios are valued as discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements of the affiliated Master Portfolios, which are included elsewhere in this report.

Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis in each affiliated Master Portfolio. Realized gains or losses in each affiliated Master Portfolio are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method by each affiliated Master Portfolio. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Dividend income in each affiliated Master Portfolio is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the affiliated Master Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities in each affiliated Master Portfolio is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
Each Fund records daily its proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s interest and dividend income and realized and unrealized gains or losses.
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 federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. 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. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
At May 31, 2013, net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains were as follows through the indicated expiration dates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | No expiration | |

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 significant 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:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | 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 investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At November 30, 2013, each Fund’s investments in an affiliated Master Portfolio carried at fair value were designated as Level 2 inputs. Further details on the investments of the affiliated Master Portfolios can be found in the Portfolio of Investments or Summary Portfolio of Investments of each affiliated Master Portfolio which is contained elsewhere in this report.
Transfers in and transfers out are recognized at the end of the reporting period. For the six months ended November 30, 2013, the Funds did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
Advisory fees
The Trust has entered into an advisory contract with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”). The adviser is responsible for implementing investment policies and guidelines and for supervising the subadviser, who is responsible for day-to-day portfolio management of the Funds.
For each Fund that invests all of its assets in a single affiliated Master Portfolio, Funds Management does not currently receive an advisory fee. For Diversified Equity Fund which invests in multiple affiliated Master Portfolios, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual advisory fee for providing such advisory services, including the determination of the asset allocations of its investments in the various affiliated Master Portfolios. Funds Management receives an annual advisory fee starting at 0.25% and declining to 0.19% as the average daily net assets of Diversified Equity Fund increase. For the six months ended November 30, 2013, the advisory fee for Diversified Equity Fund was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets.
Funds Management also serves as the adviser to each affiliated Master Portfolio and is entitled to receive a fee from each affiliated 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 each Fund an annual
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Equity Gateway Funds | | | 55 | |
fund level administration fee starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.03% as the average daily net assets of each Fund increase and a class level administration fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | |
| | Class level administration fee |
Class A, Class B, Class C | | 0.26% |
Administrator Class | | 0.10 |
Institutional Class | | 0.08 |
Investor Class | | 0.32 |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed advisory and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Funds. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through September 30, 2014, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap each Fund’s expenses as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Class A | | Class B | | Class C | | Administrator Class | | | Institutional Class | | | Investor Class | |
C&B Large Cap Value Fund | | 1.15% | | 1.90% | | 1.90% | | | 0.95 | % | | | 0.70 | % | | | 1.20 | % |

Distribution fees
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan for Class B and Class C shares of the applicable Funds 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 each Fund, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares.

| | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases at cost* | | | Sales proceeds* | |
C&B Large Cap Value Fund | | $ | 31,349,037 | | | $ | 68,422,836 | |
Diversified Equity Fund | | | 71,449,424 | | | | 95,637,790 | |
Emerging Growth Fund | | | 342,847,504 | | | | 422,035,908 | |

Small Company Value Fund | | | 26,735,838 | | | | 40,505,930 | |
* | The Funds seek to achieve their investment objective by investing all of their investable assets in one or more affiliated Master Portfolios. Purchases and sales related to these investments have been calculated by aggregating the results of multiplying each Fund’s ownership percentage of the respective affiliated Master Portfolio by the corresponding affiliated Master Portfolio’s purchases and sales. |
6. ACQUISITIONS
After the close of business on March 1, 2013, Small Company Growth Fund acquired the net assets of Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Small Cap Fund. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. Shareholders holding Administrator Class shares of Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Small Cap Fund received Institutional Class shares of Small Company Growth Fund in the reorganization. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of all of the shares of Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Small Cap Fund for 301,128 Institutional Class shares of Small Company Growth Fund valued at $9,870,350 at an exchange ratio of 0.46. The investment portfolio of Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Small Cap Fund with a fair value of $9,643,858, identified cost of $9,890,123 and unrealized losses of $246,265 at March 1, 2013 were the principal assets acquired by Small Company Growth Fund. The aggregate net assets of Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Small Cap Fund and Small Company Growth Fund immediately prior to the acquisition were $9,870,350 and $152,550,197, respectively. The aggregate net assets of Small Company Growth Fund immediately after the acquisition were $162,420,547. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Small Company Growth Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Small Cap Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Small Company Growth Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed June 1, 2012, the beginning of the annual reporting period for Small Company Growth Fund, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended May 31, 2013 would have been:
| | | | |
Net investment loss | | $ | (381,440 | ) |
Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments | | $ | 41,583,507 | |
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations | | $ | 41,202,067 | |
7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding Diversified Equity Fund, the money market funds, and certain other funds in the Trust) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $150,000,000 revolving credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company. Diversified Equity Fund and certain other funds in the Trust are parties to a $25,000,000 revolving credit agreement with Bank of New York Mellon. Under each agreement, the Funds are permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Equity Gateway Funds | | | 57 | |
emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under each 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, the applicable Funds pay an annual commitment fee equal to 0.10% under the credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company and an annual commitment fee equal to 0.15% under the credit agreement with Bank of New York Mellon. The annual commitment fee applied on the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. For the six months ended November 30, 2013, the Funds paid the following amounts in commitment fees:
| | | | |
| | Commitment fee | |
C&B Large Cap Value Fund | | $ | 243 | |
Diversified Equity Fund | | | 507 | |
Emerging Growth Fund | | | 802 | |
Index Fund | | | 2,035 | |
International Value Fund | | | 399 | |
Small Company Growth Fund | | | 191 | |
Small Company Value Fund | | | 98 | |
For the six months ended November 30, 2013, there were no borrowings by the Funds under the agreement.
8. CONCENTRATION RISK
Concentration risks result from exposure to a limited number of sectors. Through their investments in affiliated Master Portfolio(s), Funds that invest a substantial portion of their assets in a sector may be more affected by changes in that sector than would be a fund whose investments are not heavily weighted in any sector.
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 DISTRIBUTIONS
On December 11, 2013, the following Funds declared distributions from short-term capital gains and long-term capital gains to shareholders of record on December 10, 2013. The per share amounts payable on December 12, 2013 were as follows:

1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Master Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). These financial statements report on the following portfolios: the Wells Fargo Advantage C&B Large Cap Value Portfolio (“C&B Large Cap Value Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Large Cap Growth Portfolio (“Diversified Large Cap Growth Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Emerging Growth Portfolio (“Emerging Growth Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Index Portfolio (“Index Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage International Growth Portfolio (“International Growth Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage International Value Portfolio (“International Value Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Large Company Value Portfolio (“Large Company Value Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Small Company Growth Portfolio (“Small Company Growth Portfolio”), and the Wells Fargo Advantage Small Company Value Portfolio (“Small Company Value Portfolio”) (each, a “Portfolio”, collectively, the “Portfolios”). Each Portfolio is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Portfolios, which are master portfolios in a master/feeder structure, offer their shares to multiple feeder funds and other master portfolios rather than directly to the public.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Portfolio, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).
Equity securities and futures that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price. If no sale occurs on the primary exchange or market for the security that day, the prior day’s price will be deemed “stale” and fair values will be determined in accordance with the Portfolios’ Valuation Procedures.
The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies will be converted to U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”).
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 securities 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 such securities, then fair value pricing procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Portfolios are applied. These procedures take into account multiple factors including movements in U.S. securities markets after foreign exchanges close. Foreign securities that are fair valued under these procedures are categorized as Level 2 and the application of these procedures may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. 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 last reported sales price or latest quoted bid price. On November 30, 2013, such fair value pricing was not used in pricing foreign securities.
Short-term securities, with maturities of 60 days or less at time of purchase, 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 registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Non-registered investment vehicles are fair valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team. The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
| | | | |
122 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Equity Gateway Funds | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the adviser and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Foreign currency translation
The accounting records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies will be converted to U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Management Valuation Team. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are converted at the 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 from 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 Portfolios may lend their securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Portfolios continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The Portfolios receive 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 Portfolios on the next business day. In a securities lending transaction, the net asset value of the Portfolios 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 the instrument in which collateral is invested. The amount of securities lending activity undertaken by the Portfolios fluctuate from time to time, In the event of default or bankruptcy by the borrower, the Portfolios may be prevented from recovering the loaned securities or gaining access to the collateral or may experience delays or costs in doing so. In addition, the investment of any cash collateral received may lose all or part of its value. The Portfolios have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
The Portfolios lend their securities through an unaffiliated securities lending agent. Cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending transactions is invested in Wells Fargo Securities Lending Cash Investments, LLC (the “Securities Lending Fund”). The Securities Lending Fund is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act and is managed by Funds Management and is subadvised by Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”). Funds Management receives an advisory fee starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Securities Lending Fund increase. All of the fees received by Funds Management are paid to WellsCap for its services as subadviser. The Securities Lending 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. Securities Lending Fund investments are fair valued based upon the amortized cost valuation technique. Income earned from investment in the Securities Lending Fund is included in securities lending income on the Statements of Operations.
Futures contracts
Each Portfolio may be subject to interest rate risk and 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.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Equity Gateway Funds | | | 123 | |
Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices when available. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date.
Income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
Federal and other taxes
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The Portfolios are not required to pay federal income taxes on their net investment income and net capital gain as they are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. All interest, dividends, gains and losses of a Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the interestholders in proportion to their holdings of the Portfolio regardless of whether such interest, dividends and gains have been distributed by the Portfolio.
Each Portfolio’s income tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal revenue authority. Management has analyzed each Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Portfolio’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Each Portfolio’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | 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 investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Equity Gateway Funds | | | 127 | |
At November 30, 2013, Index Portfolio had long futures contracts outstanding as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Expiration date | | Contracts | | Type | | Contract value at November 30, 2013 | | | Unrealized gains | |
Index Portfolio | | 12-19-2013 | | 92 Long | | S&P 500 Index | | $ | 41,494,300 | | | $ | 1,280,490 | |
Index Portfolio had an average notional amount of $45,194,517 in long futures contracts outstanding during the six months ended November 30, 2013.
The payable for daily variation margin on open futures contracts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities only represents the current day’s variation margin. The realized gains or losses and change in unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments are reflected in the Statements of Operations.
For certain types of derivative transactions, the Portfolios have entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) or similar agreements with approved counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities or cash to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral and allows each Portfolio to offset, with each counterparty, certain derivative financial instrument’s assets and/or liabilities with collateral held or pledged. Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange traded derivatives while collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of each Portfolio under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, for the same purpose are noted in each Portfolio of Investments. With respect to balance sheet offsetting, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between each Portfolio and the applicable counterparty. As of November 30, 2013, the Porfolios have transactions subject to enforceable master netting agreements. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to the net amounts by derivative type, including any collateral exposure, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Gross amounts of liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities | | | Amounts subject to netting arrangements | | | Collateral | | | Net amount (not less than $0) | |

8. CONCENTRATION RISK
Concentration risks result from exposure to a limited number of sectors. Portfolios that invest a substantial portion of their assets in a sector may be more affected by changes in that sector than would be a fund whose investments are not heavily weighted in any sector.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

Fixed-income markets shifted significantly during the period as economic optimism surged in May and June 2013 and the Federal Reserve (Fed) announced intentions to taper its quantitative easing programs later in the year. This spurred a rally in equities but also a rise in U.S. Treasury yields.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Income Funds for the six-month period that ended November 30, 2013. Fixed-income markets shifted significantly during the period as economic optimism surged in May and June 2013 and the Federal Reserve (Fed) announced intentions to taper its quantitative easing programs later in the year. This spurred a rally in equities but also a rise in U.S. Treasury yields. Most investment-grade bond sectors correspondingly experienced price declines and rising yields during much of 2013. Below investment-grade securities tended to perform better as their higher yield spreads (“spreads” are the amount of extra yield over an equivalent U.S. Treasury security’s yield) cushioned some of the yield increases from the Treasury markets and then rallied later in the period. Structured products (such as asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities) generally protected their pricing better, particularly U.S. commercial mortgage-backed securities. On the whole, structured product sectors generally provided modestly positive returns, but investment-grade corporate bonds and U.S. Treasuries declined in value during the period.
The return of economic optimism in 2013 led to declines in bond prices as yields rose higher.
Before the period began, U.S. Treasury yields initially began to rise higher in the early months of 2013, driven by optimistic expectations for a strengthening U.S. economy. Consequently, fixed-income security yields shifted higher and prices declined across much of the U.S. investment-grade bond sector. However, investment-grade fixed-income markets rebounded when equity market exuberance was reined in by some sobering mixed economic indicators in subsequent months. By May 2013, economic exuberance returned powerfully, driving equities higher and bond prices lower—this trend carried into June 2013, the opening month of the reporting period.
The month of May 2013 turned in the largest monthly losses across the investment-grade bond markets in nearly five years. Unfortunately, the month of June 2013 was nearly as bad—it became the second-largest monthly price correction in investment-grade fixed income in nearly five years. The depreciating trends for bonds deepened in mid-June 2013 on comments from Fed Chairman Bernanke that tapering of the Fed’s bond-buying programs may begin later in the year and that the programs may end completely around mid-2014. For the last two weeks of June 2013, that debate appeared to play out daily, as volatility buffeted both the equity and bond markets, finally capitulating to yet another sustained rally in equities and a modest retreat in bond prices. High-yield bonds posted their worst monthly return of the year in June 2013 and investment grade securities had their largest quarterly decline in nine years during the second quarter.
In July and August 2013, equity exuberance quieted a bit and fixed-income markets stabilized. Returns were more mixed, with slightly negative returns in the highest-quality securities with modestly positive returns in the lowest-rated credit tiers. In September and October 2013, investment-grade and high-yield bond markets began generating positive returns yet again, as the Fed backtracked on its intentions to taper quantitative easing, postponing it until 2014 at the earliest. Bond markets rallied on the news through October 2013 before finally correcting again in November 2013 on strengthening employment figures.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Income Funds | | | 3 | |
On the whole, the declines in bond prices during June and August 2013 culminated in slightly negative returns across the investment-grade markets during the full period, despite some positive returns during September and October 2013. Thus, the theme for the period was a persistent increase in U.S. Treasury yields that pressured fixed-income security prices before relaxing in September and October 2013. Investment-grade securities generally declined, while lower-rated securities benefited from yield cushioning and a stronger investor appetite for equity-correlated returns.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Advantage Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds and other investments spanning 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. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Advantage Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect 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, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wellsfargoadvantagefunds.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 4.50%. For Class B shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 5.00%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Class R, Class R4, Class R6, Administrator Class, Institutional Class, and Investor Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to foreign investment risk and mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

8 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Income Funds | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder service fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2013 to November 30, 2013.
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) and contingent deferred sales charges. 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: the Wells Fargo Advantage Core Bond Fund (“Core Bond Fund”) and the Wells Fargo Advantage Inflation-Protected Bond Fund (“Inflation-Protected Bond Fund”) (each, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.
Each Funds seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing 100% of all its investable assets in a separate diversified portfolio (each, an “affiliated Master Portfolio”, collectively, the “affiliated Master Portfolios”) of Wells Fargo Master Trust, a registered open-end management investment company. Each affiliated Master Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities, and a Fund investing in an affiliated Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. Each Fund accounts for its investment in the affiliated Master Portfolios as partnership investments and records on a daily basis its share of the affiliated Master Portfolio’s income, expense and realized and unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements of the affiliated Master Portfolios for the six months ended November 30, 2013 are included in this report and should be read in conjunction with each Fund’s financial statements. As of November 30, 2013, Core Bond Fund owned 87% of Wells Fargo Advantage Core Bond Portfolio and Inflation-Protected Bond Fund owned 70% of Wells Fargo Advantage Inflation-Protected bond Portfolio.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).
Investments in the affiliated Master Portfolios are valued daily based on each Fund’s proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s net assets, which are also valued daily. Securities held in the affiliated Master Portfolios are valued as discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements of the affiliated Master Portfolios, which are included elsewhere in this report.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis in each affiliated Master Portfolio. Realized gains or losses in each affiliated Master Portfolio are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method by each affiliated Master Portfolio. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Each Fund records daily its proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s interest income and realized and unrealized gains or losses.
Distributions to shareholders
For Core Bond Fund, distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. For Inflation-Protected Bond Fund, distributions to shareholders from net investment income are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. 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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Income Funds | | | 23 | |
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. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of May 31, 2013, Core Bond Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains in the amount of $70,022,729 with $5,342,829 expiring in 2014; $47,174,218 expiring in 2016; and $17,505,682 expiring in 2017.
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 significant 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:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | 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 investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At November 30, 2013, each Fund’s investments in an affiliated Master Portfolio carried at fair value were designated as Level 2 inputs.
Further details on the investments of the affiliated Master Portfolios can be found in the Portfolio of Investments or Summary Portfolio of Investments of each affiliated Master Portfolio which is contained elsewhere in this report.
Transfers in and transfers out are recognized at the end of the reporting period. For the six months ended November 30, 2013, the Funds did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
Advisory fee
The Trust has entered into an advisory contract with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”). The adviser is responsible for implementing investment policies and guidelines and for supervising the subadviser, who is responsible for day-to-day portfolio management of the Funds.
Since each Fund that invests all of its assets in a single affiliated Master Portfolio, Funds Management does not currently receive an advisory fee.
Funds Management also serves as the adviser to each affiliated Master Portfolio and is entitled to receive a fee from each affiliated 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 each Fund an annual

Funds Management has committed through September 30, 2014 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap each Fund’s expenses as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Class R4 shares are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.

6. CAPITAL SHARES
As a result of the transfer of assets from Funds Management, former program manager of the 529 college savings plans for the State of Wisconsin, to a new program manager, Core Bond Fund redeemed assets from its Institutional Class on October 26, 2012 with a value of $296,707,154, representing 8.15% of Core Bond Fund. This amount is reflected in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the year ended May 31, 2013.
7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds and certain other funds in the Trust) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $150,000,000 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, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.10% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. For the six months ended November 30, 2013, the Funds paid the following amounts in commitment fees:
| | | | |
| | Commitment fee | |
Core Bond Fund | | $ | 1,783 | |
Inflation-Protected Bond Fund | | | 30 | |
For the six months ended November 30, 2013, there were no borrowings by the Funds under the agreement.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
9. SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTIONS

1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Master Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). These financial statements report on the following portfolios: the Wells Fargo Advantage Core Bond Portfolio (“Core Bond Portfolio”), and the Wells Fargo Advantage Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio (“Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio”) (each, a “Portfolio”, collectively, the “Portfolios”). Each portfolio is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Portfolios, which are master portfolios in a master/feeder structure, offer their shares to multiple feeder funds and other master portfolios rather than directly to the public.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Portfolio, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).
Fixed income securities acquired with maturities exceeding 60 days are valued based on evaluated bid prices provided by an independent pricing service which may utilize both transaction data and market information such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. If prices are not available from the independent pricing service or prices received are deemed not representative of market value, prices will be obtained from an independent broker-dealer or otherwise determined based on the Portfolios’ Valuation Procedures.
Futures that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Non-registered investment vehicles are fair valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Portfolios. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the adviser and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Security loans
The Portfolios may lend their securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Portfolios continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The Portfolios receive 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
| | | | |
40 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Income Funds | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Portfolios on the next business day. In a securities lending transaction, the net asset value of the Portfolios 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 the instrument in which collateral is invested. The amount of securities lending activity undertaken by the Portfolios fluctuate from time to time, In the event of default or bankruptcy by the borrower, the Portfolios may be prevented from recovering the loaned securities or gaining access to the collateral or may experience delays or costs in doing so. In addition, the investment of any cash collateral received may lose all or part of its value. The Portfolios have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
The Portfolios lend their securities through an unaffiliated securities lending agent. Cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending transactions is invested in Wells Fargo Securities Lending Cash Investments, LLC (the “Securities Lending Fund”). The Securities Lending Fund is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act and is managed by Funds Management and is subadvised by Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”). Funds Management receives an advisory fee starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Securities Lending Fund increase. All of the fees received by Funds Management are paid to WellsCap for its services as subadviser. The Securities Lending 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. Securities Lending Fund investments are fair valued based upon the amortized cost valuation technique. Income earned from investment in the Securities Lending Fund is included in securities lending income on the Statements of Operations.
When-issued transactions
Each Portfolio may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. A Portfolio records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Portfolio’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Portfolio begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Futures contracts
Each Portfolio may be subject to interest rate 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 when available. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
TBA sale commitments
Each Portfolio may enter into To Be Announced (“TBA”) sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities or offsetting TBA purchase commitments, which are deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as “cover” for the transaction. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under “Securities valuation”. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss. If the Portfolio delivers securities under the commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.
Inflation-indexed bonds and TIPS
Each Portfolio may invest in inflation-indexed bonds, including Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS). Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds (other than municipal inflation indexed bonds and certain corporate inflation-indexed bonds) will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Income Funds | | | 41 | |
original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal. The value of inflation-indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. If nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates may rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds, including TIPS, decline in value when real interest rates rise. In certain interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, inflation-indexed bonds may experience greater losses than other fixed income securities with similar durations.
Credit default swaps
Each Portfolio may be subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may enter into credit default swap contracts for hedging or speculative purposes to provide or receive a measure of protection against default on a referenced entity, obligation or index or for investment gains. Credit default swaps involve an exchange of a stream of payments for protection against the loss in value of an underlying security or index. Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a guarantor (referred to as the seller of protection) and receives a periodic stream of payments, provided that there is no credit event, from another party (referred to as the buyer of protection) that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount over the term of the swap. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if a credit event is triggered, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. A credit event includes bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation default, obligation acceleration, repudiation/moratorium, and restructuring. The Portfolio may enter into credit default swaps as either the seller of protection or the buyer of protection. As the seller of protection, the Portfolio is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap and has assumed the risk of default of the underlying security or index. As the buyer of protection, the Portfolio could be exposed to risks if the seller of the protection defaults on its obligation to perform, or if there are unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Portfolio as the seller of protection could be required to make under the credit default swap contract would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap contract. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.
If the Portfolio is the seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of protection the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If the Portfolio is the buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will receive from the seller of protection the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
Any premiums paid or received on the transactions are recorded as an asset or liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized. The value of the swap contract is marked-to-market daily based on quotations from an independent pricing service or market makers and any change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Periodic payments made or received are recorded as realized gains or losses. In addition, payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized as realized gains or losses.
Certain credit default swap contracts entered into by the Portfolio provide for conditions that result in events of default or termination that enable the counterparty to the agreement to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty to terminate early may impact the amounts reported on the financial statements.
Mortgage dollar roll transactions
Each Portfolio may engage in mortgage dollar roll transactions through TBA mortgage-backed securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC). In a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a Portfolio sells a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar security from the institution at a later date at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different pre-payment histories. During the roll period, a Portfolio foregoes principal and interest paid on the securities. A Portfolio is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase as well as by the earnings on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract. The Portfolios account for TBA dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales.

Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
Federal and other taxes
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The Portfolios are not required to pay federal income taxes on their net investment income and net capital gain as they are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. All interest, dividends, gains and losses of a Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the interestholders in proportion to their holdings of the Portfolio regardless of whether such interest, dividends and gains have been distributed by the Portfolio.
Each Portfolio’s income tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal revenue authority. Management has analyzed each Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Portfolio’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Each Portfolio’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | 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 investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
As of November 30, 2013, the inputs used in valuing investments in securities were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Investments in securities | | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
Advisory fee
The Trust has entered into an advisory contract with Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”). The adviser is responsible for implementing investment policies and guidelines and for supervising the subadvisers, who are responsible for day-to-day portfolio management of the Portfolios.
Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual advisory fee starting at 0.40% and declining to 0.30% as the average daily net assets of each Portfolio increase. For the six months ended November 30, 2013, the advisory fee for Core Bond Portfolio and Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.36% and 0.40%, respectively, of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of certain subadvisers to provide daily portfolio management to the Portfolios. The fees for subadvisory services are borne by Funds Management. WellsCap, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to each Portfolio and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of each Portfolio increase.
Funds Management has voluntarily waived its advisory fee and/or reimbursed expenses to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Portfolios.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended November 30, 2013 were as follows:

Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio | | 2,452,437 | | | 0 | | | 11,910,032 | | | 0 | |
6. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS
During the six months ended November 30, 2013, Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio entered into futures contracts to speculate on interest rates and to help manage the duration of the portfolio.
As of November 30, 2013, Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio did not have any open futures contracts. Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio had an average notional amount of $21,268 in long futures contracts during the six months ended November 30, 2013.
The realized losses and change in unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments are reflected in the Statements of Operations.
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 Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

Wells Fargo Advantage Funds
Equity returns were bolstered by positive economic growth and accommodative monetary policies in many countries. Many fixed-income returns were modestly positive because interest rates stabilized and credit conditions were favorable, enabling lower-quality bonds to do well.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Portfolios for the six-month period that ended November 30, 2013. Equity returns were bolstered by positive economic growth and accommodative monetary policies in many countries. Many fixed-income returns were modestly positive because interest rates stabilized and credit conditions were favorable, enabling lower-quality bonds to do well.
Economic growth was no longer a negative for investors.
Fears of a stalling U.S. economy, a eurozone recession, and a hard landing in China were largely erased. The U.S. economy grew modestly during the past six months. Broadly speaking, the U.S. saw gains in business investment and housing alongside some drag from government spending. Employment trended in the right direction, with the unemployment rate declining, though still higher than satisfactory levels. Meanwhile, monetary policy remained accommodative throughout the period. At the end of November 2013, the federal funds rate remained near zero and the quantitative easing program continued at the rate of $85 billion per month.
In other parts of the world, the eurozone ended its recession and began registering positive growth. While Germany was the healthiest of the eurozone economies, many of the troubled southern countries—such as Spain and Portugal—began growing again or showed significantly improved growth trends. Another sign of healing was that yields on government debt in Europe’s peripheral countries declined. Japan, meanwhile, continued its recovery. Emerging markets growth was mixed, but China’s growth appeared to stabilize. Meanwhile, the European Central Bank kept its monetary policy accommodative, lowering its short-term interest rates from 0.50% to 0.25% in November 2013.
Investor optimism resulted in positive equity returns.
Investor confidence grew during the period as economic concerns lessened. Stock markets also benefited from easy monetary policies and resolutions of political problems, such as the end of the U.S. government shutdown. As a result, the S&P 500 Index1 returned 11.91% for the six-month period that ended November 30, 2013. The index also managed to end higher than 1,800, a level typically considered a threshold for investor optimism. Meanwhile, the MSCI ACWI ex USA (Net)2, a measure of non-U.S. developed country equities, returned 9.37% during the six-month period that ended November 30, 2013.
Bond markets struggled to return to positive territory.
During the six months ended November 30, 2013, most categories of non-U.S. Treasury bonds managed to earn positive returns. However, it was a volatile path to positive results, and U.S. Treasury bonds did not manage to claw back into positive territory. June 2013 was a difficult month for bonds because yields increased in response to Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke’s comments about the scaling back of its bond-buying program. Interest rates then stabilized, and

investment-grade and high-yield bond markets began generating positive returns. U.S. Treasury bonds bore the brunt of the interest-rate increase, while bonds in lower-tier credit categories benefited from a yield cushion and investor appetite for equity-correlated returns.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Advantage Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds and other investments spanning 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. Weencourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Advantage Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect 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, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Portfolio’s website, wellsfargoadvantagefunds.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For WealthBuilder Portfolio shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 1.50%. Performance including sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period.
Balanced funds may invest in stocks and bonds. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. The Portfolio will indirectly be exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds and will indirectly bear expenses of the underlying funds. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Portfolio is exposed to alternative investment risk, foreign investment risk, high-yield securities risk, mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, and smaller-company investment risk. Consult the Portfolio’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

2. | The Adviser has committed through September 30, 2014, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Portfolio’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver, excluding certain expenses, at 1.50%. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the cap. Without this cap, the Portfolio’s returns would have been lower. |

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect 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, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Portfolio’s website, wellsfargoadvantagefunds.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For WealthBuilder Portfolio shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 1.50%. Performance including sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period.
Balanced funds may invest in stocks and bonds. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. The Portfolio will indirectly be exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds and will indirectly bear expenses of the underlying funds. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Portfolio is exposed to alternative investment risk, foreign investment risk, high-yield securities risk, mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, and smaller-company investment risk. Consult the Portfolio’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

The Portfolio will indirectly be exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds and will indirectly bear expenses of the underlying funds. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Portfolio is exposed to alternative investment risk, foreign investment risk, and smaller-company investment risk. Consult the Portfolio’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

1. | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses. |
2. | The Adviser has committed through September 30, 2014, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Portfolio’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver, excluding certain expenses, at 1.50%. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the cap. Without this cap, the Portfolio’s returns would have been lower. |
3. | Source: Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC. The WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Composite Index is weighted 70% in the Russell 3000 Index, and 30% in the MSCI ACWI ex USA (Net). You cannot invest directly in an index. |
4. | 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. |
5. | The Russell 3000® Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
6. | The Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index ex USA (Net) (MSCI ACWI ex USA (Net)) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets.

7. | At the close of business on September 30, 2013, the Portfolio changed its benchmark from the S&P 500 Index to the Russell 3000 Index and the MSCI ACWI ex USA (Net). We believe the new benchmarks are more similar to the characteristics of the Portfolio in light of the recent changes to the Portfolio’s investment strategies. |
8. | The ten largest holdings are calculated based on the value of the holdings divided by total net assets of the Portfolio. Holdings are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
9. | Portfolio allocation is subject to change and is calculated based on the total long-term investments of the Portfolio. |

16 | | Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Portfolios | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder service fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2013 to November 30, 2013.
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) and contingent deferred sales charges. 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 portfolios: the Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Conservative Allocation Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Conservative Allocation Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Moderate Balanced Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Moderate Balanced Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Growth Balanced Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Growth Balanced Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Growth Allocation Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Growth Allocation Portfolio” ), the Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Equity Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Equity Portfolio” ), and the Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio) (each, a “Portfolio”, collectively, the “Portfolios”). Each Portfolio is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Portfolios each seek to achieve their investment objectives by allocating their assets across asset classes of stocks, bonds and money market instruments by investing in a number of affiliated and unaffiliated funds (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds incur separate expenses in seeking to achieve their investment objectives. The investment in affiliated funds may also include investments in one or more separate diversified portfolios (each, an “affiliated Master Portfolio”, collectively, the “affiliated Master Portfolios”) of Wells Fargo Master Trust, a registered open-end management investment company. Each affiliated Master Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities, and a Portfolio investing in an affiliated Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. Each Portfolio accounts for its investment in the affiliated Master Portfolios as partnership investments and records on a daily basis its share of the affiliated Master Portfolio’s income, expense and realized and unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements and financial highlights for the Underlying Funds are presented in separate financial statements and may be obtained from Wells Fargo Investor Services or from the servicing agent of the unaffiliated funds.
As of November 30, 2013, the Portfolios own the following percentages of the affiliated Master Portfolios:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Wells Fargo Advantage Core Bond Portfolio | | | Wells Fargo Advantage Emerging Growth Portfolio | | | Wells Fargo Advantage International Growth Portfolio | | | Wells Fargo Advantage Small Company Value Portfolio | |
WealthBuilder Conservative Allocation Portfolio | | | 4% | | | | 0 | %* | | | 5 | % | | | 2 | % |
WealthBuilder Moderate Balanced Portfolio | | | 4% | | | | 1 | % | | | 8 | % | | | 9 | % |
WealthBuilder Growth Balanced Portfolio | | | 3% | | | | 2 | % | | | 20 | % | | | 10 | % |
WealthBuilder Growth Allocation Portfolio | | | 1% | | | | 1 | % | | | 7 | % | | | 8 | % |
WealthBuilder Equity Portfolio | | | N/A | | | | 0 | %* | | | 5 | % | | | 2 | % |
WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio | | | N/A | | | | 1 | % | | | 16 | % | | | 8 | % |
* | The amount invested is less than 1%. |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Portfolio, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).
Investments in underlying open-end investment companies are valued at net asset per share as reported by the Underlying Funds as of the close of the regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading. Investments in affiliated Master Portfolios are valued daily based on each Portfolio’s proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s net assets, which are also valued daily.
Futures that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price.
Short-term securities, with maturities of 60 days or less at time of purchase, 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.
| | | | | | |

Futures contracts
Each Portfolio may be subject to interest rate risk, equity price risk or foreign currency exchange rate 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 when available. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions from Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions from Underlying Funds are treated as realized gains.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Each Portfolio records on a daily basis its proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s interest and dividend income, in addition to expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses.
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 federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
Each Portfolio’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed each Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
At May 31, 2013, capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains expiring in 2018 were as follows:
| | | | |
WealthBuilder Growth Balanced Portfolio | | $ | 28,455,196 | |
WealthBuilder Growth Allocation Portfolio | | | 4,295,469 | |
WealthBuilder Equity Portfolio | | | 28,029,164 | |
WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio | | | 109,659,447 | |
As of May 31, 2013, WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio had a qualified late-year ordinary loss of $1,436,239 which was recognized on the first day of the current fiscal year.

3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Portfolio’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Each Portfolio’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | 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 investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
As of November 30, 2013, the inputs used in valuing investments in securities were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

For certain types of derivative transactions, the Portfolios have entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) with approved counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities or cash to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral and allows the Portfolio to offset, with each counterparty, certain derivative financial instrument’s assets and/or liabilities with collateral held or pledged. Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange traded derivatives while collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Portfolio under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, for the same purpose are noted in the Portfolio of Investments. With respect to balance sheet offsetting, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between the Portfolio and the applicable counterparty. As of November 30, 2013, the Portfolios have transactions subject to an enforceable master netting agreements. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to the net amounts by derivative type, including any collateral exposure, is as follows:
