Major central banks continued to inject liquidity into global banks and markets through various accommodative monetary policies, including quantitative easing.
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, 2014. The period was marked by continued accommodative monetary policy in developed countries, broader economic growth, low inflation, and equity market gains.
The U.S. stock market outperformed most international markets; the S&P 500 Index1, a proxy for U.S. large-cap stocks, ended the period with an 8.58% gain. The MSCI EAFE Index (Net)2, a proxy for international developed markets, ended the period with a 5.07% loss. The U.S. was the fastest-growing developed country, which benefited U.S. companies. In addition, a strong U.S. dollar held back the returns of non-U.S. investments in dollar terms. Most bond sectors gained modestly amid renewed confidence in economic growth that drove outperformance in credit-sensitive sectors as solid economic growth boosted company revenue and profits and kept default rates low. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index3 returned 1.91% during the period. Short-term interest rates remained ultralow.
Major central banks continued to provide stimulus.
Major central banks continued to inject liquidity into global banks and markets through various accommodative monetary policies, including quantitative easing. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve (Fed) kept its key interest rate effectively near zero in order to support the economy and the financial system. It tapered the size of its quantitative easing program each month until the program ended in October 2014 and also discussed changes to its forward guidance as it begins to normalize monetary policy.
Meanwhile, European markets continued to benefit from the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) willingness to maintain low interest rates. In September 2014, the ECB cut its key rate to a historic low of 0.05%. In addition to its targeted longer-term refinancing operations that are designed to increase bank lending, the ECB released details of its asset-backed securities purchase program and the new covered bond purchase program, which are scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2014. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Challenging geopolitical situations and concerns about slowing global growth remained.
Geopolitical events were major negatives throughout the reporting period. The ongoing standoff between the West (the U.S., Europe, and their allies) and Russia over Ukraine continued throughout the reporting period. As of November 2014, most investors believed that the situation would not result in a war. However, economic sanctions from the West against Russia and from Russia against the West contributed to slower growth in Europe, a key Russian trading partner. In the Middle East, the advance of Islamic militants in Syria and Iraq led to airstrikes by the U.S. and its allies and fears of a prolonged regional war.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Allocation Funds | | | 3 | |
Economic news out of Europe trended lower for most of 2014. Slower European growth and expectations of higher U.S. interest rates sent the euro lower during the quarter, pressuring European returns for U.S. dollar-denominated investors. Returns in Asia were dampened by a sluggish Japanese economy as well as a late-period decline in the yen. Among countries in the MSCI EAFE Index (Net), most of the major markets (such as Japan, Germany, and France) ended the period with losses. By contrast, U.S. economic news remained favorable; gross domestic product grew at a 3.9% annualized gain, pushing the U.S. stock market to a solid gain. Meanwhile, 10-year U.S. Treasury yields trended lower over the period, reaching 2.20% by the end of November.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.

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 a contingent deferred 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. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). This Fund is exposed to mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, and smaller-company securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

8 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Allocation 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, 2014 to November 30, 2014.
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 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.
Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all investable assets in 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, 2014 are included in this report and should be read in conjunction with each Fund’s financial statements. As of November 30, 2014, 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 | % |

* | 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 or, if none, the last sales price.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Allocation Funds | | | 21 | |
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 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 is subject to interest rate risk and equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis 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 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 custodian verifies 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.
As of May 31, 2014, Growth Balanced Fund had capital loss carryforwards that are available to offset future net realized capital gains in the amount of $159,605,297 with $7,499,740 expiring in 2016; $69,527,330 expiring in 2017; and $82,578,227 expiring in 2018.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by each Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of November 30, 2014:

Transfers in and transfers out are recognized at the end of the reporting period. At November 31, 2014, the Funds did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Advisory fees
The Trust has entered into an advisory contract with Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”).

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 the Funds 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 derivatives. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, 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 Funds and the applicable counterparty. 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Derivative type | | Counterparty | | Gross amounts of liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities | | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | | Collateral pledged1 | | | Net amount of liabilities | |

7. BANK BORROWINGS
Each Fund and certain funds in the Trust are party to a $25,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby each Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to 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, 2015, the Funds paid the following amounts in commitment fees:
| | | | |
| | Commitment fee | |
Growth Balanced Fund | | $ | 302 | |
Moderate Balanced Fund | | | 151 | |
For the six months ended November 30, 2014, there were no borrowings by the Funds under the agreement.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees 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 Managed Fixed Income Portfolio (“Managed Fixed Income Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Advantage Real Return Portfolio (“Real Return Portfolio”) (formerly, Wells Fargo Advantage Inflation-Protected Bond 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 affiliated 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 are translated into 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 net asset values that are higher or lower than net asset values based on the last reported sales price or latest quoted bid price. On November 30, 2014, 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, values will be obtained from an independent broker-dealer.
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 | | | 127 | |
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.
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 are translated into 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. 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 included in net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.
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 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 sub-advised 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
The Portfolios 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
The Portfolios are subject to interest rate risk or equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. A 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.
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
The Portfolios may enter into To Be Announced (“TBA”) sale commitments to hedge their 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
The Portfolios may invest in inflation-indexed bonds, including Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS). Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds (other than municipal inflation indexed bonds and certain corporate inflation-indexed bonds) will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal. The value of inflation-indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. If nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates may rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds, including TIPS, decline in value when real interest rates rise. In certain interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, inflation-indexed bonds may experience greater losses than other fixed income securities with similar durations.
Mortgage dollar roll transactions
The Portfolios 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.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the custodian verifies the ex-dividend date.
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.

The investment type categorized above was valued using an indicative broker quote. The indicative broker quote is considered a Level 3 input. Quantitative unobservable inputs used by the brokers are often proprietary and not provided to the Portfolio and therefore the disclosure that would address these inputs is not included above.

Pursuant to the contract, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual advisory fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each Porfolio.

During the six months ended November 30, 2014, Index Portfolio entered into futures contracts to gain market exposure. During the six months ended November 30, 2014, Real Return Portfolio and Stable Income Portfolio entered into futures contracts to speculate on interest rates and to help manage the duration of each portfolio.
At November 30, 2014, the Portfolios had long and short futures contracts outstanding as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Expiration date | | | Counterparty | | | Contracts | | | Type | | Contract value at November 30, 2014 | | | Unrealized gains (losses) | |

At November 30, 2014, Real Return Portfolio did not have any open futures contracts.
At November 30, 2014, Stable Income Portfolio had segregated $18,000 as cash collateral for open futures contracts.
The Portfolios had average notional amounts in futures contracts during the six months ended November 30, 2014 as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Long contracts | | | Short contracts | |
Index Portfolio | | $ | 56,300,311 | | | $ | 0 | |
Real Return Portfolio | | | 0 | | | | 58,023 | |
Stable Income Portfolio | | | 0 | | | | 2,405,457 | |
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
| | | | |
138 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Allocation Funds | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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 derivatives. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Portfolios under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, 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 or Summary 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. 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Derivative type | | Counterparty | | Gross amounts of liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities | | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | | Collateral pledged 1 | | | Net amount of liabilities | |
Index Portfolio | | Futures – variation margin | | Jefferies Bache | | $ | 107,505 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | (107,505 | ) | | $ | 0 | |
Stable Income Portfolio | | Futures – variation margin | | JPMorgan | | | 4,063 | | | | 0 | | | | (4,063 | ) | | | 0 | |
1. | Collateral pledged within this table is limited to the collateral for the net transaction with the counterparty. |
7. CONCENTRATION RISK
Concentration risks result from exposure to a limited number of sectors, countries or geographical regions. 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. Portfolios that focus their investments in particular countries or geographic regions may be particularly susceptible to economic and political events affecting those countries or regions. The Portfolio of Investments or Summary Portfolio of Investments includes information on each Portfolio’s holdings, including sector, country and/or geographical composition, as relevant.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees 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
Throughout the reporting period, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which is the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) monetary policymaking body, kept its key interest rate near zero.
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, 2014. The period was marked by heightened geopolitical uncertainty as the U.S. and Europe continued to confront Russia over Ukraine and as the U.S. and its allies confronted Islamic militants (formerly known as ISIS) in Syria and Iraq. The U.S. stock market outperformed most international markets; the S&P 500 Index1, a proxy for U.S. large-cap stocks, ended the period with an 8.58% gain, while the MSCI EAFE Index (Net)2, a proxy for international developed markets, ended the period with a 5.07% loss.
Major central banks continued to provide liquidity to the markets.
Throughout the reporting period, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which is the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) monetary policymaking body, kept its key interest rate near zero. This tended to support global markets given the Fed’s role in providing investor liquidity. Throughout most of the reporting period, the FOMC reduced (or tapered) its bond-buying program by $10 billion per month; the FOMC brought the program to an end in late October 2014. Although the FOMC kept its key interest rate near zero, its guidance led investors to expect an interest-rate hike sometime in 2015.
In June 2014, the European Central Bank (ECB) announced a variety of measures aimed at encouraging lending, including making funds available to banks at low interest rates and imposing a negative interest rate on bank deposits held at the central bank. In September 2014, the ECB cut its key rate to a historic low of 0.05% and increased its negative interest rate. In Japan, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation by doubling the bank’s asset base over two years. In late October 2014, the BOJ deepened its commitment to monetary easing by increasing its asset purchases.
The U.S. market rose against the backdrop of a challenging geopolitical situation and slowing global growth.
Geopolitical events were major negatives throughout the reporting period. The ongoing standoff between the West (the U.S., Europe, and their allies) and Russia over Ukraine began in late 2013 and continued throughout the reporting period. As of November 2014, most investors believed that the situation would not result in a war. However, economic sanctions from the West against Russia and from Russia against the West contributed to slower growth in Europe, a key Russian trading partner. In the Middle East, the advance of Islamic militants in Syria and Iraq led to airstrikes by the U.S. and its allies and fears of a prolonged regional war.
Market volatility increased toward the end of the reporting period as renewed fears of slowing global growth took hold and investors began to price in expectations that the FOMC was finally looking to raise short-tem interest rates. Economic news out of Europe was modestly positive during the period. The 28 countries in the European Union did report stronger growth in the third quarter of 2014 than in the second quarter, but the growth rates (less than 1.5% annualized)

remained below those of the U.S. Modest European growth combined with expectations of higher U.S. interest rates to send the euro lower during the quarter, pressuring European returns for U.S. dollar–denominated investors. Returns in Asia were dampened by a sluggish Japanese economy as well as a late-period decline in the yen. Among countries in the MSCI EAFE Index (Net), most of the major markets (such as Japan, Germany, and France), ended the period with losses. By contrast, U.S. economic news remained favorable; gross domestic product annualized growth was at least 3.5% in the second and third quarters of 2014, pushing the U.S. stock market to a solid gain.
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 5.75%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred 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.

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.

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 a contingent deferred 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.
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, 2014 to November 30, 2014.
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.
Each Fund seeks 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, 2014 are included in this report and should be read in conjunction with each Fund’s financial statements. As of November 30, 2014, 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
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 custodian verifies 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, 2014, 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. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.

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, 2014, 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, 2014, the Funds did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
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 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, 2014, 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 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 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 | % |
Class R6 | | | 0.03 | |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Investor Class | | | 0.32 | |

* | The Funds seek to achieve their investment objective by investing some or all of their investable assets in one or more affiliated Master Portfolios.

6. 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. Diversified Equity Fund and certain other funds in the Trust are parties to a $25,000,000 revolving credit agreement. Under each agreement, the Funds are permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or 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 $150,000,000 credit agreement and an annual commitment fee equal to 0.15% under the $25,000,000 credit agreement. The annual commitment fee applied on the unused balance for each credit agreement is allocated to each participating fund. For the six months ended November 30, 2014, the Funds paid the following amounts in commitment fees:
| | | | |
| | Commitment fee | |
C&B Large Cap Value Fund | | $ | 205 | |
Diversified Equity Fund | | | 397 | |
Emerging Growth Fund | | | 781 | |
Index Fund | | | 1,988 | |
International Value Fund | | | 435 | |
Small Company Growth Fund | | | 321 | |
Small Company Value Fund | | | 103 | |
For the six months ended November 30, 2014, there were no borrowings by the Funds under the agreement.
7. 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.
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
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Equity Gateway Funds | | | 57 | |
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”) (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 affiliated 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 are translated into 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 net asset values that are higher or lower than net asset values based on the last reported sales price or latest quoted bid price. On November 30, 2014, 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
| | | | |
122 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Equity Gateway Funds | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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 are translated into 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. 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 included in net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.
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 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 sub-advised 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
The Portfolios are subject to interest rate risk or equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. A 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 | |
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.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the custodian verifies the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
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.
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.

6. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS
During the six months ended November 30, 2014, Index Portfolio entered into futures contracts to gain market exposure.
At November 30, 2014, the Index Portfolio had long futures contracts outstanding as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Expiration date | | Counterparty | | Contracts | | | Type | | | Contract value at November 30, 2014 | | | Unrealized gains | |
12/18/2014 | | Jefferies Bache | | | 71 Long | | | | S&P 500 Index | | | $ | 36,676,825 | | | $ | 1,535,370 | |
Index Portfolio had an average notional amount of $56,300,311 in long futures contracts outstanding during the six months ended November 30, 2014.
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 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 derivatives. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Portfolios under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, 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 or Summary 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. 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Derivative type | | Counterparty | | Gross amounts of liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities | | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | | Collateral pledged 1 | | | Net amount of liabilities | |
Index Portfolio | | Futures – variation margin | | Jefferies Bache | | $ | 107,505 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | (107,505 | ) | | $ | 0 | |

7. CONCENTRATION RISK
Concentration risks result from exposure to a limited number of sectors, countries or geographical regions. 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. Portfolios that focus their investments in particular countries or geographic regions may be particularly susceptible to economic and political events affecting those countries or regions. The Portfolio of Investments or Summary Portfolio of Investments includes information on each Portfolio’s holdings, including sector, country and/or geographical composition, as relevant.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees 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 global banks and markets through various accommodative monetary policies, including quantitative easing.
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, 2014. The period was marked by a strong U.S. dollar, low interest rates, and sluggish growth outside the U.S.
The U.S. was the fastest-growing developed country, which benefited U.S. companies. Most bond sectors gained modestly amid renewed confidence in economic growth that drove outperformance in credit-sensitive sectors as solid economic growth boosted company revenue and profits and kept default rates low. Investment-grade U.S. bonds (measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index1), returned 1.91% during the period.
Major central banks continued to provide stimulus.
Major central banks continued to inject liquidity into global banks and markets through various accommodative monetary policies, including quantitative easing. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve (Fed) kept its key interest rate near zero in order to support the economy and the financial system. It tapered the size of its quantitative easing program each month until the program ended in October 2014 and also discussed changes to its forward guidance as it begins to normalize monetary policy.
Meanwhile, European markets continued to benefit from the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) willingness to maintain low interest rates. In September 2014, the ECB cut its key rate to a historic low of 0.05%. In addition to its targeted longer-term refinancing operations that are designed to increase bank lending, the ECB released details of its asset-backed securities purchase program and the new covered bond purchase program, which are scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2014. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Economic growth was sluggish outside the U.S.
The Fed has a dual mandate to maximize employment and keep prices stable, and economic activity during the period showed improvement on both these fronts. The unemployment rate ticked lower to 5.8% as of November 2014. More than 1.5 million jobs were added to payrolls during the reporting period, averaging more than 250,000 per month. On the inflation front, the personal consumption expenditures price index rose from a deflationary danger zone toward the Fed’s longer-run objective of a 2% pace.
Elsewhere, economic data continued to show sluggish growth. The European Union’s gross domestic product was sluggish and the region’s unemployment rate was 11.5% at the end of the reporting period. Japan’s economy faltered in reaction to a sales-tax increase despite Prime Minister Abe’s economic plans to promote growth.
With the U.S. economy the furthest along its business cycle, the level of interest rates in the U.S. and Europe began to diverge—the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was 2.20% at the end of November 2014 compared with 0.70% for 10-year German government yields, 150 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) higher. This is largely attributed to the Fed being closer to eventually increasing interest rates
1. | The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM passthroughs), ABS, and CMBS. You cannot invest directly in an index. |

while the ECB potentially needs to further increase, rather than scale back, its amount of accommodation. Further, U.S. economic activity is healthier than Europe’s.
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.

* | | Class B shares are closed to investment, except in connection with the reinvestment of any distributions and permitted exchanges. |
Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect 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 a contingent deferred 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. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. 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.

* | | Class B shares are closed to investment, except in connection with the reinvestment of any distributions and permitted exchanges. |
Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect 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 a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Administrator Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. Loans are subject to risks similar to those associated with other below-investment-grade bond investments, such as credit risk (for example, risk of issuer default), below-investment-grade bond risk (for example, risk of greater volatility in value), and risk that the loan may become illiquid or difficult to price. Foreign investments are especially volatile and can rise or fall dramatically due to differences in the political and economic conditions of the host country. These risks are generally intensified in emerging markets. Smaller-company stocks tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those of larger companies. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

1. | The Fund is a gateway feeder fund that invests all of its assets in a single affiliated master portfolio of the Wells Fargo Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) with a substantially similar investment objective and substantially similar investment strategies. References to the investment activities of the Fund are intended to refer to the investment activities of the affiliated master portfolio in which it invests. See Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of the Master Trust. |
2. | Effective December 1, 2014, Kandarp Acharya, Michael Bradshaw, Christian Chan, Jeffrey Everett, Ann Miletti, Thomas Price, and Dale Winner became co-portfolio managers of the Fund. |
3. | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report. |
4. | The Adviser has committed through September 30, 2015, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver, excluding certain expenses, at the amounts shown. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.

5. | The Barclays U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities Index is an index of inflation-indexed linked U.S. Treasury securities. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
6. | The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers in U.S. All Items (Consumer Price Index) is published monthly by the U.S. government as an indicator of changes in price levels (or inflation) paid by urban consumers for a representative basket of goods and services. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
7. | The ten largest long-term holdings are calculated based on the value of the securities of the affiliated master portfolio allocable to the Fund divided by the total net assets of the Fund. Holdings are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
8. | Effective maturity represents the effective maturity of the affiliated master portfolio and is calculated based on the total long-term investments of the affiliated master portfolio. It is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

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, 2014 to November 30, 2014.
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 Real Return Fund (“Real Return Fund”) (formerly, Wells Fargo Advantage Inflation-Protected Bond Fund) (each, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.
Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all investable assets in a separate diversified portfolio (an “affiliated Master Portfolio”) 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 Portfolio as a partnership investment 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 each affiliated Master Portfolio for the six months ended November 30, 2014 are included in this report and should be read in conjunction with each Fund’s financial statements. As of November 30, 2014, Core Bond Fund owned 84% of Wells Fargo Advantage Core Bond Portfolio and Real Return Fund owned 63% of Wells Fargo Advantage Real Return Portfolio (formerly, 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 Real Return 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 | | | 21 | |
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, 2014, capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains were as follows through the indicated expiration dates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2017 | | | No expiration Short-term | |
Core Bond Fund | | $ | 52,517,044 | | | $ | 17,505,682 | | | $ | 28,134,403 | |
As of May 31, 2014, Core Bond Fund had $2,116,257 of deferred post-October capital losses which were recognized on the first day of the current fiscal year.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by each Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
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, 2014, 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. At November 30, 2014, the Funds did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
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 the investment policies and guidelines of the Funds.
Since each Fund 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.
| | | | |
22 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Income Funds | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
Administration 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 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, Class R | | | 0.16 | % |
Class R4, Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Class R6 | | | 0.03 | |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Investor Class | | | 0.19 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed 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, 2015 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 | | | Class R | | | Class R4 | | | Class R6 | | | Administrator Class | | | Institutional Class | | | Investor Class | |
Core Bond Fund | | | 0.78 | % | | | 1.53 | % | | | 1.53 | % | | | 1.03 | % | | | 0.52 | % | | | 0.37 | % | | | 0.70 | % | | | 0.42 | % | | | 0.79 | % |
Real Return Fund | | | 0.85 | % | | | 1.60 | % | | | 1.60 | % | | | N/A | | | | N/A | | | | N/A | | | | 0.60 | % | | | N/A | | | | N/A | |
After September 30, 2015, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Prior to October 1, 2014, the expense cap for Core Bond Fund was 0.81% for Investor Class.
Distribution fees
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan for Class B, Class C, and Class R shares of the applicable Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to the Class B, Class C, and Class R shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter of each Fund, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class B and Class C shares. For the six months ended November 30, 2014, Funds Distributor received the following amounts in front-end sales charges:
| | | | |
| | Front-end sales charges | |
| | Class A | |
Core Bond Fund | | $ | 3,761 | |
Real Return Fund | | | 205 | |
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Administrator Class, and Investor Class of each applicable Fund is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class. Class R4 shares are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.

6. 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 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, 2014, the Funds paid the following amounts in commitment fees:
| | | | |
| | Commitment fee | |
Core Bond Fund | | $ | 1,374 | |
Real Return Fund | | | 17 | |
For the six months ended November 30, 2014, there were no borrowings by the Funds under the agreement.
7. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees 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.
8. SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTIONS
On December 9, 2014, Real Return Fund declared distributions from long-term capital gains to shareholders of record on December 8, 2014. The per share amounts payable on December 10, 2014 were as follows:

These distributions are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The final determination of the source of all distributions is subject to change and made after the Fund’s tax year-end.

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 Real Return Portfolio (“Real Return Portfolio”) (formerly, Wells Fargo Advantage 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 affiliated 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, values will be obtained from an independent broker-dealer.
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.
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 each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Portfolios on the next business day. In a
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Income Funds | | | 39 | |
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 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 sub-advised 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
The Portfolios 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 is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A 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 Portfolios and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
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
The Portfolios may enter into To Be Announced (“TBA”) sale commitments to hedge their 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
The Portfolios may invest in inflation-indexed bonds, including Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS). Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds (other than municipal inflation indexed bonds and certain corporate inflation-indexed bonds) will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the
| | | | |
40 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Income Funds | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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.
Mortgage dollar roll transactions
The Portfolios 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.
Federal and other taxes
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The Portfolios are not required to pay federal income taxes on their net investment income and net capital gain as they are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. All interest, dividends, gains and losses of a Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the interest holders in proportion to their holdings of the Portfolio regardless of whether such interest, dividends and gains have been distributed by the Portfolio.
Each Portfolio’s income 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.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Advisory fees
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 subadviser, who is 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, 2014, the advisory fee for Core Bond Portfolio and Real Return 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 a subadviser 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 and/or reimbursed advisory fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Portfolios.

7. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees 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 global banks and markets through various accommodative monetary policies, including quantitative easing.
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, 2014. The period was marked by continued accommodative monetary policy in developed countries, broader economic growth, and low inflation.
The U.S. stock market outperformed most international markets; the S&P 500 Index1, a proxy for U.S. large-cap stocks, ended the period with an 8.58% gain. The MSCI EAFE Index (Net)2, a proxy for international developed markets, ended the period with a 5.07% loss. The U.S. was the fastest-growing developed country, which benefited U.S. companies. In addition, a strong U.S. dollar held back the returns of non-U.S. investments in dollar terms. Most bond sectors gained modestly amid renewed confidence in economic growth that drove outperformance in credit-sensitive sectors as solid economic growth boosted company revenue and profits and kept default rates low. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index3 returned 1.91% during the period.
Major central banks continued to provide stimulus.
Major central banks continued to inject liquidity into global banks and markets through various accommodative monetary policies, including quantitative easing. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve (Fed) kept its key interest rate near zero in order to support the economy and the financial system. It tapered the size of its quantitative easing program each month until the program ended in October 2014 and also discussed changes to its forward guidance as it begins to normalize monetary policy.
Meanwhile, European markets continued to benefit from the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) willingness to maintain low interest rates. In September 2014, the ECB cut its key rate to a historic low of 0.05%. In addition to its targeted longer-term refinancing operations that are designed to increase bank lending, the ECB released details of its asset-backed securities purchase program and the new covered bond purchase program, which are scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2014. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Challenging geopolitical situations and concerns about slowing global growth remained.
Geopolitical events were major negatives throughout the reporting period. The ongoing standoff between the West (the U.S., Europe, and their allies) and Russia over Ukraine continued throughout the reporting period. As of November 2014, most investors believed that the situation would not result in a war. However, economic sanctions from the West against Russia and from Russia against the West contributed to slower growth in Europe, a key Russian trading partner. In the Middle East, the advance of Islamic militants in Syria and Iraq led to airstrikes by the U.S. and its allies and fears of a prolonged regional war.

2. | The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, and Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index (Net) is an unmanaged group of securities widely regarded by investors to be representations of the stock markets of Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. Calculations for EAFE use net dividends, which reflect the deduction of withholding taxes. You cannot invest directly in an index. Source: MSCI.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Portfolios | | | 3 | |
Economic news out of Europe trended lower during the reporting period. Slower European growth and expectations of higher U.S. interest rates sent the euro lower, pressuring European returns for U.S. dollar-denominated investors. Returns in Asia were dampened by a sluggish Japanese economy as well as a late-period decline in the yen. Among countries in the MSCI EAFE Index (Net), most of the major markets (such as Japan, Germany, and France) ended the period with losses. By contrast, U.S. economic news remained favorable; gross domestic product grew at a 3.9% annualized gain, pushing the U.S. stock market to a solid gain. Meanwhile, 10-year U.S. Treasury yields trended lower over the period, reaching 2.20% by the end of November.
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 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%.
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. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Portfolio. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Portfolio and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. 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.

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%.
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. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Portfolio. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Portfolio and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. 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.

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%.
Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. 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 prospectus, which include the impact of 0.76% in acquired fund fees and expenses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report, which do not include acquired fund fees and expenses. |
2. | The Adviser has committed through September 30, 2015, 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%. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. 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. |

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, 2014 to November 30, 2014.
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 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.
Each Portfolio is a fund-of-funds that may invest in various affiliated mutual funds, unaffiliated mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”) to pursue its investment objective. 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 by contacting Investor Services for the Wells Fargo Advantage Funds for information on the affiliated mutual funds or the servicing agent of the unaffiliated mutual funds.
As of November 31, 2014, 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 | | | 5% | | | | 0 | %* | | | 4% | | | | 2% | |
WealthBuilder Moderate Balanced Portfolio | | | 5% | | | | 1 | % | | | 13% | | | | 6% | |
WealthBuilder Growth Balanced Portfolio | | | 4% | | | | 2 | % | | | 22% | | | | 11% | |
WealthBuilder Growth Allocation Portfolio | | | 1% | | | | 1 | % | | | 13% | | | | 6% | |
WealthBuilder Equity Portfolio | | | N/A | | | | 0 | %* | | | 5% | | | | 2% | |
WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio | | | N/A | | | | 1 | % | | | 16% | | | | 8% | |
* | The amount owned 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 or, if none, the last sales 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 is subject to interest rate risk and equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts in order to effect tactical allocations changes in a Portfolio. 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.
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 by each Portfolio 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.
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, 2014, capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains were as follows through the indicated expiration date:

| | 2018 | |
WealthBuilder Equity Portfolio | | $ | 20,146,330 | |
WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio | | | 90,019,467 | |
At May 31, 2014, late-year ordinary losses which were recognized on the first day of the current fiscal year were as follows:
| | | | |

3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Portfolio’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to 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
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities as of November 30, 2014:

derivatives while collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded derivatives. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Portfolio under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, 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. 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

8. 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 whereby the Portfolios are permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to each Portfolio based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.10% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating Portfolio. For the six months ended November 30, 2014, the Portfolios paid the following amounts in commitment fees:
| | | | |
| | Commitment fee | |
WealthBuilder Conservative Allocation Portfolio | | $ | 323 | |
WealthBuilder Moderate Balanced Portfolio | | | 485 | |
WealthBuilder Growth Balanced Portfolio | | | 697 | |
WealthBuilder Growth Allocation Portfolio | | | 300 | |
WealthBuilder Equity Portfolio | | | 103 | |
WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio | | | 314 | |
During the six months ended November 30, 2014, the Portfolios had the following borrowing activity:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Average borrowings outstanding (annualized) | | | Average interest rate (annualized) | | | Interest paid | |

WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio | | | 17,810 | | | | 1.37 | % | | | 244 | |
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees 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.
