Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. 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 by calling 1-800-368-0627.
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.
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 high-yield securities risk and municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.
CoreBuilder Shares are a series of investment options within the separately managed accounts advised or subadvised by Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC. The shares are fee-waived mutual funds that enable certain separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification than smaller managed accounts might otherwise achieve.
Please remember that shares of the Fund may be purchased only by or on behalf of separately managed account clients where Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC has an agreement to serve as investment adviser or subadviser to the account with the separately managed account sponsor (typically a registered investment adviser or broker/dealer) or directly with the client.

Effective maturity distribution3 as of June 30, 2015 |
|
 |
1 | The Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index composed of long-term tax-exempt bonds with a minimum credit rating of Baa. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
2 | The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and/or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the Fund’s portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the total market value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. If a security was rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by two of three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality and credit quality ratings are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
3 | Amounts are calculated based on the total long-term investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
| | | | |
4 | | Wells Fargo Managed Account CoreBuilder Shares - Series M | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs 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 January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015.
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. 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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning account value 1-1-2015 | | | Ending account value 6-30-2015 | | | Expenses paid during the period1 | | | Net annualized expense ratio | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,001.53 | | | $ | 0.00 | * | | | 0.00 | %* |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,024.79 | | | $ | 0.00 | * | | | 0.00 | %* |
1 | Expenses paid is equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half-year period). |
* | Generally, no ordinary operating fees or expenses are charged to the Fund. Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC has contractually committed to irrevocably absorb and pay or reimburse all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except portfolio transactions or other investment-related costs (e.g., commissions), fees payable for services provided by the Fund’s securities lending agent, interest, taxes, leverage expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. This commitment has an indefinite term. |

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Managed Account CoreBuilder Shares - Series M | | | 19 | |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo FundsTrust (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”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Managed Account CoreBuilder Shares - Series M (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Fund is a special purpose municipal bond fund that is used in combination with selected individual securities to effectively model institutional-level investment strategies. As an investment option within the separately managed accounts advised or subadvised by Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”), the Fund enables certain separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification than small managed accounts might otherwise achieve.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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).
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price 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.
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 Fund. 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.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
| | | | |
20 | | Wells Fargo Managed Account CoreBuilder Shares - Series M | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
Futures contracts
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are 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.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with 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
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the 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 December 31, 2014, the Fund had $516,406 of current year deferred post-October capital losses which was recognized on the first day of the current fiscal year.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
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.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Managed Account CoreBuilder Shares - Series M | | | 21 | |
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2015:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2015, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
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 Fund. For providing these services, Funds Management does not receive a fee from the Fund but is entitled to receive fees from the sponsors of the wrap-fee programs. Out of these fees, Funds Management pays Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, for its services as the subadviser to the Fund.
Generally, no ordinary operating fees or expenses are charged to the Fund. Funds Management has contractually committed to irrevocably absorb and pay or reimburse all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except portfolio transactions or other investment-related costs (e.g., commissions), fees payable for services provided by the Fund’s securities lending agent, interest, taxes, leverage expenses, and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. This commitment has an indefinite term.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $85,459,210 and $14,914,980, respectively.
6. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Fund entered into futures contracts to take advantage of the differences between municipal and treasury yields and to help manage the duration of the portfolio.
As of June 30, 2015, the Fund did not have any open futures contracts. The Fund had an average notional amount of $23,572,796 in short futures contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
The realized losses and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are reflected in the Statement of Operations.
7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds and certain other funds in the Trust) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $150,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby the Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.10% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Fund paid $118 in commitment fees.
| | | | |
22 | | Wells Fargo Managed Account CoreBuilder Shares - Series M | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
8. CONCENTRATION OF OWNERSHIP
From time to time, the Fund may have a concentration of one or more of its shareholders that hold a significant percentage of the Fund’s shares outstanding. Investment and/or voting activities of these shareholders with respect to their holdings in the Fund shares could have a material impact on the Fund.
At June 30, 2015, the following shareholders held 97.40% of the outstanding shares of the Fund:
| | | | |
| | % of ownership | |
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC | | | 24.50 | % |
Pershing LLC | | | 15.40 | |
UBS Financial Services Incorporated | | | 57.50 | |
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 19-20, 2015 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Managed Account CoreBuilder Shares (SM) – Series M (the “Fund”): (i) an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in March 2015, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2015. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser was reasonable. The Board considered the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board received and considered information regarding the “zero fee and expense” structure of the Fund. Specifically, the Board noted that the Fund’s gross operating expense ratio and each of its various components, including advisory fees, administration fees, custody fees, Rule 12b-1 fees, and other fees, were zero. The Board also noted Funds Management’s representations that the Fund is a special purpose mutual fund for use exclusively within Funds Management’s separately managed account (“SMA”) advisory business and, as such, Funds Management would assume and pay or reimburse under an Expense Assumption Agreement all of the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund excluding portfolio transaction or other investment related costs, fees payable for services provided by the Fund’s securities lending agent, interest, taxes, leverage expenses, and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary cost of the
| | | | | | |

Fund’s business. The Board further noted Funds Management’s report that it is paid a negotiated fee by each SMA sponsor and that the fee level is identical for all sponsors of SMAs that invest in the Fund.
In light of this unique fee and distribution structure, the Board does not conduct a performance and fee review relative to a peer group or universe. The Board took into account the fee and distribution structure of the Fund in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements for the Fund.
Investment advisory and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered that the contractual investment advisory fee rate payable by the Fund to Funds Management for investment advisory services (the “Advisory Agreement Rate”) was zero, and also reviewed and considered that the Fund’s other expenses would normally be zero, because of Funds Management’s commitment to assume and pay or reimburse all of the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund under an Expense Assumption Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rate payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement Rate”), and that such fees are paid from the fees Funds Management receives from SMA sponsors and not by the Fund.
The Board noted that the Advisory Agreement Rate for the Fund was consistent with the zero fee structure, and was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements. The Board also reviewed and considered the Sub-Advisory Agreement Rate and concluded that the Sub-Advisory Agreement Rate was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the Advisory Agreement Rates and the Sub-Advisory Agreement Rates were reasonable in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo profitability analysis. The Board did not receive or consider to be necessary separate profitability information with respect to the Fund in light of its unique fee and distribution structure.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
In light of the unique fee and distribution structure of the Fund, the Board did not conduct an analysis of economies of scale in the context of reviewing the Fund’s Advisory Agreements.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund.
The Board noted that Funds Management receives payments from the SMA sponsors and that it had agreed to assume and pay or reimburse certain operating expenses. The Board also reviewed information about whether and to what extent soft dollar credits are sought and how any such credits are utilized, and any benefits that might be realized by an affiliated broker that handles portfolio transactions for the Fund.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for an additional one-year period and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser was reasonable.
