President
Wells Fargo Advantage Funds
We do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage 100% Treasury Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2015. The past six months were marked by preparation for the new amendments to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Rule 2a-7) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, expectation for the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to raise the federal funds rate, and limited supply of high-quality, short-term investments.
We are preparing to implement the new money market fund regulations.
The amendments to Rule 2a-7, which governs money market funds, are scheduled to take place over a two-year period with final implementation required by October 2016. To recap, U.S. Treasury and government money market funds will continue to operate much as they do today, with $1.00 net asset values (NAVs). Meanwhile, tax-exempt and prime money market funds will experience more changes. For starters, these types of funds must separate retail investors, such as individuals, and institutional investors.
| n | | Retail investors will continue to transact at a $1.00 NAV but may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. | |
| n | | Institutional prime and tax-exempt money market funds will transact at a floating, market-based NAV and may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. Once floating NAVs are implemented, daily share prices will fluctuate along with changes, if any, in the market-based value of the underlying portfolio securities. | |
| n | | Additional requirements include increased disclosure and reporting, immediate reporting of fund portfolio holdings, tighter diversification requirements, and enhanced stress-testing measures. | |
While there will be many operational changes ahead, we do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
The Fed has set the stage for increasing the federal funds rate.
Short-term interest rates remained anchored near zero during the reporting period, mainly because the Fed continued its near-zero interest-rate policy. However, the Fed emphasized that the timing of an initial increase in the federal funds rate will depend on economic data, and most Fed members believed it will be appropriate to increase the rate in 2015. In her semi-annual testimony before Congress, Fed Chair Janet Yellen also said that “sometimes too much attention is placed on the timing of the first increase in the federal funds target rate. And what should matter to market participants is the entire expected trajectory of policy.” This suggested that the Fed expects economic conditions to evolve in a way that will make it appropriate for it to raise rates gradually over time.
Limited supply of short-term investment securities continued during the reporting period. Banks have been curtailing their issuance of shorter maturities as they move into compliance with stricter liquidity requirements, while others are trimming the size of their repurchase agreement books to fit the requirements of the supplementary leverage ratio.

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 returns will fluctuate. The Fund’s yield figures more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund than the total return figures. 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 at the Fund’s website, wellsfargoadvantagefunds.com.
Each class is sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund. The U.S. government guarantee applies to certain underlying securities and not to shares of the Fund.

1 | Historical performance shown for Administrator Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Service Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to Service Class shares. If these expenses had not been included, returns would be higher. Historical performance shown for Institutional Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Administrator Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to Administrator Class shares. If these expenses had not been included, returns would be higher. Historical performance shown for Sweep Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Service Class shares, and has not been adjusted to reflect the higher expenses applicable to Sweep Class shares. If these expenses had been adjusted, returns would be lower. |
2 | 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. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2016, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver 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. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been (0.73)%, (0.46)%, (0.34)%, (0.63)%, and (1.08)% for Class A, Administrator Class, Institutional Class, Service Class, and Sweep Class, respectively. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a WAM of 60 calendar days or less. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a weighted average life of 120 calendar days or less. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

6 | | Wells Fargo Advantage 100% Treasury Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur 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 February 1, 2015 to July 31, 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 only. 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.

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”). 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 Advantage 100% Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities 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 the method 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 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 manager 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 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.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage 100% Treasury Money Market Fund | | | 17 | |
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. 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.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized 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 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.
At July 31, 2015, all of the Fund’s investments in securities were valued using Level 2 inputs since the primary inputs include the credit quality of the issuer and short-term interest rates (both of which are observable) in addition to the use of amortized cost.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At July 31, 2015, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the applicable subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.35% and declining to 0.23% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Prior to July 1, 2015, Funds Management provided advisory services pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and was entitled to receive an annual fee which started at 0.30% and declined to 0.20% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased. In addition, fund-level administrative services were provided by Funds Management under a separate administration agreement at an annual fee which started at 0.05% and declined to 0.03% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased. For the six months ended July 31, 2015, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.31% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For financial statement purposes, advisory fees and fund-level administration fees for the six months ended July 31, 2015 have been included in management fee on the Statement of Operations.
| | | | |
18 | | Wells Fargo Advantage 100% Treasury Money Market Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Sweep Class | | | 0.22 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.65% for Class A shares, 0.30% for Administrator Class shares, 0.20% for Institutional Class shares, 0.50% for Service Class shares, and 1.00 % for Sweep Class Class shares. 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. During the six months ended July 31, 2015, Funds Management voluntarily waived additional class specific expenses to maintain a positive yield.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Sweep Class shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Sweep Class shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.35% of the average daily net assets of Sweep Class shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Service Class, and Sweep Class of the Fund is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of each class. Administrator Class is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. 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.
6. MONEY MARKET FUND REFORM
On July 23, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) voted to amend Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act which governs the operations of registered money market funds. The amendments to Rule 2a-7 when implemented may, among other things, require the Fund to change the manner in which it values its securities, impose new liquidity fees on redemptions in certain circumstances, and permit the Fund to limit redemptions in certain circumstances. The amendments have staggered compliance dates. Compliance with a majority of these amendments will be required on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the rule amendments. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these amendments and their impact to the Fund’s operations, financial statements and accompanying notes.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT 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 Advantage 100% Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); (ii) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Funds Management; and (iii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement combines the terms of the Advisory Agreement with the terms of the Fund’s Amended and Restated Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) applicable to Fund-level administrative services. The Advisory Agreement, the Management 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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval 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 noted that the services to be provided to the Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement combined the advisory services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Advisory Agreement with the Fund-level administrative services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Administration Agreement. The Board received a representation from Funds Management that combining these services would not result in any change to the nature or level of services provided by Funds Management to 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
| | | | | | |
Other information (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage 100% Treasury Money Market Fund | | | 23 | |
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 considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended March 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to other comparative data. Lipper is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Service Class) was higher than, equal to or in range of the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the Fund experienced a portfolio manager change in 2014.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees (which reflect fee waivers, if any, and include advisory, administration and transfer agent fees), custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Lipper to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Lipper reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement and approve the Management Agreement.
Investment advisory and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rates that are payable by the Fund to Funds Management for investment advisory services (the “Advisory Agreement Rates”), both on a stand-alone basis and on a combined basis with the Fund’s fund-level and class-level contractual administration fee rates (the “Management Rates”). The Board noted that the Management Rates include transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs. The Board also noted that the fee rate to be paid by the Fund under the Management Agreement will incorporate the advisory fee and Fund-level administration fee previously payable separately by the Fund under the Fund’s Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement with Funds Management. The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement Rates”).
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Management Rates of the Fund with those of other funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level. The Board noted that the Management Rate for the Service Class was in the range of the average rate of the Service Class’s expense Group, while the Management Rates for all other share classes of the Fund were higher than the average rates of their respective expense Groups. The Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total advisory fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of the advisory fee between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and Advisory Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was 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 and 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.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory and management fee structures, and the Fund’s administration fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
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 various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Advantage Funds
We do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage California Municipal Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2015. The past six months were marked by preparation for the new amendments to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Rule 2a-7) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, expectation for the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to raise the federal funds rate, and limited supply of high-quality, short-term investments.
We are preparing to implement the new money market fund regulations.
The amendments to Rule 2a-7, which governs money market funds, are scheduled to take place over a two-year period with final implementation required by October 2016. To recap, U.S. Treasury and government money market funds will continue to operate much as they do today, with $1.00 net asset values (NAVs). Meanwhile, tax-exempt and prime money market funds will experience more changes. For starters, these types of funds must separate retail investors, such as individuals, and institutional investors.
| n | | Retail investors will continue to transact at a $1.00 NAV but may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. | |
| n | | Institutional prime and tax-exempt money market funds will transact at a floating, market-based NAV and may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. Once floating NAVs are implemented, daily share prices will fluctuate along with changes, if any, in the market-based value of the underlying portfolio securities. | |
| n | | Additional requirements include increased disclosure and reporting, immediate reporting of fund portfolio holdings, tighter diversification requirements, and enhanced stress-testing measures. | |
While there will be many operational changes ahead, we do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
The Fed has set the stage for increasing the federal funds rate.
Short-term interest rates remained anchored near zero during the reporting period, mainly because the Fed continued its near-zero interest-rate policy. However, the Fed emphasized that the timing of an initial increase in the federal funds rate will depend on economic data, and most Fed members believed it will be appropriate to increase the rate in 2015. In her semi-annual testimony before Congress, Fed Chair Janet Yellen also said that “sometimes too much attention is placed on the timing of the first increase in the federal funds target rate. And what should matter to market participants is the entire expected trajectory of policy.” This suggested that the Fed expects economic conditions to evolve in a way that will make it appropriate for it to raise rates gradually over time.
Limited supply of short-term investment securities continued during the reporting period. Banks have been curtailing their issuance of shorter maturities as they move into compliance with stricter liquidity requirements, while others are trimming the size of their repurchase agreement books to fit the requirements of the supplementary leverage ratio.

3 | The manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2016, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 0.65% for Class A, 0.30% for Administrator Class, 0.20% for Institutional Class, 0.45% for Service Class, and 1.00% for Sweep Class. 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 Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been (0.57)%, (0.29)%, (0.18)%, (0.47)%, and (0.92)% for Class A, Administrator Class, Institutional Class, Service Class, and Sweep Class, respectively. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a WAM of 60 calendar days or less. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a weighted average life of 120 calendar days or less. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

6 | | Wells Fargo Advantage California Municipal Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur 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 February 1, 2015 to July 31, 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 only. 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.

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”). 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 Advantage California Municipal Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities 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 the method 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 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 manager 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.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Funds Management. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by instruments such as U.S. Treasury, federal agency, or high-grade corporate obligations. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
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.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized 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 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.
At July 31, 2015, all of the Fund’s investments in securities were valued using Level 2 inputs since the primary inputs include the credit quality of the issuer and short-term interest rates (both of which are observable) in addition to the use of amortized cost.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. For the six months ended July 31, 2015, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the applicable subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.13% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage California Municipal Money Market Fund | | | 23 | |
Prior to July 1, 2015, Funds Management provided advisory services pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and was entitled to receive an annual fee of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. In addition, fund-level administrative services were provided by Funds Management under a separate administration agreement at an annual fee which started at 0.05% and declined to 0.03% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased. For the six months ended July 31, 2015, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For financial statement purposes, advisory fees and fund-level administration fees for the six months ended July 31, 2015 have been included in management fee on the Statement of Operations.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Sweep Class | | | 0.22 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.65% for Class A shares, 0.30% for Administrator Class shares, 0.20% for Institutional Class shares, 0.45% for Service Class shares, and 1.00% for Sweep Class shares. 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. During the six months ended July 31, 2015, Funds Management voluntarily waived additional class specific expenses to maintain a positive yield.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Sweep Class shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Sweep Class shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.35% of the average daily net assets of Sweep Class shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Service Class, and Sweep Class of the Fund is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of each class. Administrator Class is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state. Therefore, it may be more affected by economic and political developments in that state or region than would be a comparable general tax-exempt fund.
6. 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
| | | | |
24 | | Wells Fargo Advantage California Municipal Money Market Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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.
7. MONEY MARKET FUND REFORM
On July 23, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) voted to amend Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act which governs the operations of registered money market funds. The amendments to Rule 2a-7 when implemented may, among other things, require the Fund to change the manner in which it values its securities, impose new liquidity fees on redemptions in certain circumstances, and permit the Fund to limit redemptions in certain circumstances. The amendments have staggered compliance dates. Compliance with a majority of these amendments will be required on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the rule amendments. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these amendments and their impact to the Fund’s operations, financial statements and accompanying notes.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT 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 Advantage California Municipal Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); (ii) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Funds Management; and (iii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement combines the terms of the Advisory Agreement with the terms of the Fund’s Amended and Restated Administration Agreement applicable to Fund-level administrative services (the “Administration Agreement”). The Advisory Agreement, the Management 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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval 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 noted that the services to be provided to the Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement combined the advisory services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Advisory Agreement with the Fund-level administrative services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Administration Agreement. The Board received a representation from Funds Management that combining these services would not result in any change to the nature or level of services provided by Funds Management to 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 considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended March 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Lipper is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Class A) was higher than the average performance of the Universe for the one- and three-year periods under review, equal to the Universe for the first quarter of 2015 and in range of the Universe for the five- and ten-year periods under review. The Board also noted that the Fund experienced a portfolio manager change in 2014.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees (which reflect fee waivers, if any, and include advisory, administration and transfer agent fees), custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Lipper to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Lipper reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement and approve the Management Agreement.
Investment advisory and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rates that are payable by the Fund to Funds Management for investment advisory services (the “Advisory Agreement Rates”), both on a stand-alone basis and on a combined basis with the Fund’s fund-level and class-level contractual administration fee rates (the “Management Rates”). The Board noted that the Management Rates include transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs. The Board also noted that the fee rate to be paid by the Fund under the Management Agreement will incorporate the advisory fee and Fund-level administration fee previously payable separately by the Fund under the Fund’s Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement with Funds Management. The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement Rates”).
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Management Rates of the Fund with those of other funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or in range of the average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total advisory fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of the advisory fee between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and Advisory Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was 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 and 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.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory and management fee structures, and the Fund’s administration fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
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 various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Advantage Funds
We do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Cash Investment Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2015. The past six months were marked by preparation for the new amendments to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Rule 2a-7) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, expectation for the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to raise the federal funds rate, and limited supply of high-quality, short-term investments.
We are preparing to implement the new money market fund regulations.
The amendments to Rule 2a-7, which governs money market funds, are scheduled to take place over a two-year period with final implementation required by October 2016. To recap, U.S. Treasury and government money market funds will continue to operate much as they do today, with $1.00 net asset values (NAVs). Meanwhile, tax-exempt and prime money market funds will experience more changes. For starters, these types of funds must separate retail investors, such as individuals, and institutional investors.
| n | | Retail investors will continue to transact at a $1.00 NAV but may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. | |
| n | | Institutional prime and tax-exempt money market funds will transact at a floating, market-based NAV and may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. Once floating NAVs are implemented, daily share prices will fluctuate along with changes, if any, in the market-based value of the underlying portfolio securities. | |
| n | | Additional requirements include increased disclosure and reporting, immediate reporting of fund portfolio holdings, tighter diversification requirements, and enhanced stress-testing measures. | |
While there will be many operational changes ahead, we do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
The Fed has set the stage for increasing the federal funds rate.
Short-term interest rates remained anchored near zero during the reporting period, mainly because the Fed continued its near-zero interest-rate policy. However, the Fed emphasized that the timing of an initial increase in the federal funds rate will depend on economic data, and most Fed members believed it will be appropriate to increase the rate in 2015. In her semi-annual testimony before Congress, Fed Chair Janet Yellen also said that “sometimes too much attention is placed on the timing of the first increase in the federal funds target rate. And what should matter to market participants is the entire expected trajectory of policy.” This suggested that the Fed expects economic conditions to evolve in a way that will make it appropriate for it to raise rates gradually over time.
Limited supply of short-term investment securities continued during the reporting period. Banks have been curtailing their issuance of shorter maturities as they move into compliance with stricter liquidity requirements, while others are trimming the size of their repurchase agreement books to fit the requirements of the supplementary leverage ratio.

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 returns will fluctuate. The Fund’s yield figures more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund than the total return figures. 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 at the Fund’s website, wellsfargoadvantagefunds.com.
Each class is sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund.

1 | Historical performance shown for Select Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Institutional Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to Institutional Class shares. If these expenses had not been included, returns would be higher. |
2 | 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. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2016, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver 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. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been (0.09)%, 0.03%, 0.07%, and (0.26)% for Administrator Class, Institutional Class, Select Class, and Service Class, respectively. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a WAM of 60 calendar days or less. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a weighted average life of 120 calendar days or less. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

6 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Cash Investment Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 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 February 1, 2015 to July 31, 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 only. 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.

24 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Cash Investment Money Market Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). 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 Advantage Cash Investment Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities 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 the method 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 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 manager 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.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Funds Management. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to- market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by instruments such as U.S. Treasury, federal agency, or high-grade corporate obligations. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Cash Investment Money Market Fund | | | 25 | |
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 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 January 31, 2015, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains in the amount of $2,293,432 expiring in 2018.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in shareholder servicing and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized 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 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.
At July 31, 2015, all of the Fund’s investments in securities were valued using Level 2 inputs since the primary inputs include the credit quality of the issuer and short-term interest rates (both of which are observable) in addition to the use of amortized cost.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. For the six months ended July 31, 2015, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the applicable subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.13% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Prior to July 1, 2015, Funds Management provided advisory services pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and was entitled to receive an annual fee of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. In addition, fund-level administrative services were provided by Funds Management under a separate administration agreement at an annual fee which started at 0.05% and declined to 0.03% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased. For the six months ended July 31, 2015, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.14% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For financial statement purposes, advisory fees and fund-level administration fees for the six months ended July 31, 2015 have been included in management fees on the Statement of Operations.
Funds Management has retained the services of certain subadvisers to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”), an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is a subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. Effective May 1, 2015, Wells Capital Management Singapore, a separately identifiable department of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and an affiliate of Funds Management and wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is also a subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from WellsCap at an annual rate starting at 0.0025% and declining to 0.0005% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | % |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Select Class | | | 0.04 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.35% for Administrator Class shares, 0.20% for Institutional Class shares, 0.13% for Select Class shares, and 0.50% for Service Class shares. 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. During the six months ended July 31, 2015, Funds Management voluntarily waived additional class specific expenses to maintain a positive yield.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents. Administrator Class and Service Class of the Fund are each charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% and 0.25%, respectively, of their respective average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.

5. 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.
6. MONEY MARKET FUND REFORM
On July 23, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) voted to amend Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act which governs the operations of registered money market funds. The amendments to Rule 2a-7 when implemented may, among other things, require the Fund to change the manner in which it values its securities, impose new liquidity fees on redemptions in certain circumstances, and permit the Fund to limit redemptions in certain circumstances. The amendments have staggered compliance dates. Compliance with a majority of these amendments will be required on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the rule amendments. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these amendments and their impact to the Fund’s operations, financial statements and accompanying notes.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT 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 Advantage Cash Investment Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); (ii) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Funds Management; (iii) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”), an affiliate of Funds Management; and (iv) an investment sub-advisory agreement with WellsCap and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. d/b/a Wells Capital Management Singapore (“WellsCap Singapore”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement combines the terms of the Advisory Agreement with the terms of the Fund’s Amended and Restated Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) applicable to Fund-level administrative services. The sub-advisory agreements with WellsCap and WellsCap Singapore (the “Sub-Advisers”) are collectively referred to as the Sub-Advisory Agreements, and the Advisory Agreement, the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements 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-Advisers 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-Advisers 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-Advisers 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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of each of the Sub-Advisory Agreements for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval 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-Advisers 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 noted that the services to be provided to the Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement combined the advisory services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Advisory Agreement with the Fund-level administrative services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Administration Agreement. The Board received a representation from Funds Management that combining these services would not result in any change to the nature or level of services provided by Funds Management to the Fund.

The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers 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-Advisers. 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 considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended March 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to other comparative data. Lipper is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was in range of the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review except for the ten-year period, for which such performance was lower than the average performance of the Universe. The Board also noted that the Fund experienced a portfolio manager change in 2014.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees (which reflect fee waivers, if any, and include advisory, administration and transfer agent fees), custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Lipper to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Lipper reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or in range of the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements and approve the Management Agreement.
Investment advisory and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rates that are payable by the Fund to Funds Management for investment advisory services (the “Advisory Agreement Rates”), both on a stand-alone basis and on a combined basis with the Fund’s fund-level and class-level contractual administration fee rates (the “Management Rates”). The Board noted that the Management Rates include transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs. The Board also noted that the fee rate to be paid by the Fund under the Management Agreement will incorporate the advisory fee and Fund-level administration fee previously payable separately by the Fund under the Fund’s Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement with Funds Management. The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Advisers for investment sub-advisory services (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement Rates”).
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Management Rates of the Fund with those of other funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level. The Board noted that the Management Rates for all share classes of the Fund were lower than, equal to or in range of their respective expense Groups.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total advisory fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Advisers for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Advisers, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of the advisory fee between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and Advisory Agreement and to the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreements was 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 and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Advisers from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Advisers’ profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory and management fee structures, and the Fund’s administration fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Advisers, 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-Advisers’ business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Advisers, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
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-Advisers, 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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of each of the Sub-Advisory Agreements for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Advantage Funds
We do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Government Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2015. The past six months were marked by preparation for the new amendments to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Rule 2a-7) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, expectation for the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to raise the federal funds rate, and limited supply of high-quality, short-term investments.
We are preparing to implement the new money market fund regulations.
The amendments to Rule 2a-7, which governs money market funds, are scheduled to take place over a two-year period with final implementation required by October 2016. To recap, U.S. Treasury and government money market funds will continue to operate much as they do today, with $1.00 net asset values (NAVs). Meanwhile, tax-exempt and prime money market funds will experience more changes. For starters, these types of funds must separate retail investors, such as individuals, and institutional investors.
| n | | Retail investors will continue to transact at a $1.00 NAV but may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. | |
| n | | Institutional prime and tax-exempt money market funds will transact at a floating, market-based NAV and may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. Once floating NAVs are implemented, daily share prices will fluctuate along with changes, if any, in the market-based value of the underlying portfolio securities. | |
| n | | Additional requirements include increased disclosure and reporting, immediate reporting of fund portfolio holdings, tighter diversification requirements, and enhanced stress-testing measures. | |
While there will be many operational changes ahead, we do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
The Fed has set the stage for increasing the federal funds rate.
Short-term interest rates remained anchored near zero during the reporting period, mainly because the Fed continued its near-zero interest-rate policy. However, the Fed emphasized that the timing of an initial increase in the federal funds rate will depend on economic data, and most Fed members believed it will be appropriate to increase the rate in 2015. In her semi-annual testimony before Congress, Fed Chair Janet Yellen also said that “sometimes too much attention is placed on the timing of the first increase in the federal funds target rate. And what should matter to market participants is the entire expected trajectory of policy.” This suggested that the Fed expects economic conditions to evolve in a way that will make it appropriate for it to raise rates gradually over time.
Limited supply of short-term investment securities continued during the reporting period. Banks have been curtailing their issuance of shorter maturities as they move into compliance with stricter liquidity requirements, while others are trimming the size of their repurchase agreement books to fit the requirements of the supplementary leverage ratio.

1 | Historical performance shown for Sweep Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Service Class shares, and has not been adjusted to reflect the higher expenses applicable to Sweep Class shares. If these expenses had been adjusted, returns would be lower. Historical performance shown for the Select Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the Institutional Class shares, and is not adjusted to reflect the Select Class expenses. If these expenses had been included, returns for the Select Class would be higher. The Select Class annual returns are substantially similar to what the Institutional Class annual returns would be because the Select Class and Institutional Class shares are invested in the same portfolio and their returns differ only to the extent that they do not have the same expenses. |
2 | 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. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2017, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 0.65% for Class A, 0.35% for Administrator Class, 0.20% for Institutional Class, 0.16% for Select Class, 0.50% for Service Class, and 1.00% for Sweep Class. 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 Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been (0.48)%, (0.21)%, (0.09)%, (0.05)%, (0.38)%, and (0.83)% for Class A, Administrator Class, Institutional Class, Select Class, Service Class, and Sweep Class, respectively. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a WAM of 60 calendar days or less. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a weighted average life of 120 calendar days or less. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

6 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Government Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur 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 February 1, 2015 to July 31, 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 only. 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.

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”). 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 Advantage Government Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities 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 the method 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 manager 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.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Funds Management. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by instruments such as U.S. Treasury, federal agency, or high-grade corporate obligations. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
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 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 January 31, 2015, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $43,453 in short-term capital losses.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized 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 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.
At July 31, 2015, all of the Fund’s investments in securities were valued using Level 2 inputs since the primary inputs include the credit quality of the issuer and short-term interest rates (both of which are observable) in addition to the use of amortized cost.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At July 31, 2015, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the applicable subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.13% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
| | | | |
24 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Government Money Market Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
Prior to July 1, 2015, Funds Management provided advisory services pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and was entitled to receive an annual fee of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, fund-level administrative services were provided by Funds Management under a separate administration agreement at an annual fee which started at 0.05% and declined to 0.03% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased. For the six months ended July 31, 2015, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.14% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For financial statement purposes, advisory fees and fund-level administration fees for the six months ended July 31, 2015 have been included in management fee on the Statement of Operations.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Sweep Class | | | 0.22 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Select Class | | | 0.04 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2017 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.65% for Class A shares, 0.35% for Administrator Class shares, 0.20% for Institutional Class shares, 0.16% for Select Class shares, 0.50% for Service Class shares, and 1.00% for Sweep Class shares. 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. During the six months ended July 31, 2015, Funds Management voluntarily waived additional class specific expenses to maintain a positive yield.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Sweep Class shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Sweep Class shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.35% of the average daily net assets of Sweep Class shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Service Class, and Sweep Class of the Fund is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of each class. Administrator Class is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. 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.

6. MONEY MARKET FUND REFORM
On July 23, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) voted to amend Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act which governs the operations of registered money market funds. The amendments to Rule 2a-7 when implemented may, among other things, require the Fund to change the manner in which it values its securities, impose new liquidity fees on redemptions in certain circumstances, and permit the Fund to limit redemptions in certain circumstances. The amendments have staggered compliance dates. Compliance with a majority of these amendments will be required on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the rule amendments. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these amendments and their impact to the Fund’s operations, financial statements and accompanying notes.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT 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 Advantage Government Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); (ii) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Funds Management; and (iii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement combines the terms of the Advisory Agreement with the terms of the Fund’s Amended and Restated Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) applicable to Fund-level administrative services. The Advisory Agreement, the Management 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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval 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 noted that the services to be provided to the Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement combined the advisory services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Advisory Agreement with the Fund-level administrative services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Administration Agreement. The Board received a representation from Funds Management that combining these services would not result in any change to the nature or level of services provided by Funds Management to 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
| | | | |
30 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Government Money Market Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
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 considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended March 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to other comparative data. Lipper is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was equal to or in range of the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the Fund experienced a portfolio manager change in 2014.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees (which reflect fee waivers, if any, and include advisory, administration and transfer agent fees), custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Lipper to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Lipper reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or equal to the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement and approve the Management Agreement.
Investment advisory and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rates that are payable by the Fund to Funds Management for investment advisory services (the “Advisory Agreement Rates”), both on a stand-alone basis and on a combined basis with the Fund’s fund-level and class-level contractual administration fee rates (the “Management Rates”). The Board noted that the Management Rates include transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs. The Board also noted that the fee rate to be paid by the Fund under the Management Agreement will incorporate the advisory fee and Fund-level administration fee previously payable separately by the Fund under the Fund’s Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement with Funds Management. The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement Rates”).
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Management Rates of the Fund with those of other funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or in range of the average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total advisory fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of the advisory fee between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and Advisory Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was 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 and the fund family as a whole. The Board also
| | | | | | |
Other information (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Government Money Market Fund | | | 31 | |
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.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory and management fee structures, and the Fund’s administration fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
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 various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Advantage Funds
We do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Heritage Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2015. The past six months were marked by preparation for the new amendments to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Rule 2a-7) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, expectation for the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to raise the federal funds rate, and limited supply of high-quality, short-term investments.
We are preparing to implement the new money market fund regulations.
The amendments to Rule 2a-7, which governs money market funds, are scheduled to take place over a two-year period with final implementation required by October 2016. To recap, U.S. Treasury and government money market funds will continue to operate much as they do today, with $1.00 net asset values (NAVs). Meanwhile, tax-exempt and prime money market funds will experience more changes. For starters, these types of funds must separate retail investors, such as individuals, and institutional investors.
| n | | Retail investors will continue to transact at a $1.00 NAV but may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. | |
| n | | Institutional prime and tax-exempt money market funds will transact at a floating, market-based NAV and may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. Once floating NAVs are implemented, daily share prices will fluctuate along with changes, if any, in the market-based value of the underlying portfolio securities. | |
| n | | Additional requirements include increased disclosure and reporting, immediate reporting of fund portfolio holdings, tighter diversification requirements, and enhanced stress-testing measures. | |
While there will be many operational changes ahead, we do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
The Fed has set the stage for increasing the federal funds rate.
Short-term interest rates remained anchored near zero during the reporting period, mainly because the Fed continued its near-zero interest-rate policy. However, the Fed emphasized that the timing of an initial increase in the federal funds rate will depend on economic data, and most Fed members believed it will be appropriate to increase the rate in 2015. In her semi-annual testimony before Congress, Fed Chair Janet Yellen also said that “sometimes too much attention is placed on the timing of the first increase in the federal funds target rate. And what should matter to market participants is the entire expected trajectory of policy.” This suggested that the Fed expects economic conditions to evolve in a way that will make it appropriate for it to raise rates gradually over time.
Limited supply of short-term investment securities continued during the reporting period. Banks have been curtailing their issuance of shorter maturities as they move into compliance with stricter liquidity requirements, while others are trimming the size of their repurchase agreement books to fit the requirements of the supplementary leverage ratio.

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 returns will fluctuate. The Fund’s yield figures more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund than the total return figures. 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 at the Fund’s website, wellsfargoadvantagefunds.com.
Each class is sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund.

1 | Historical performance shown for Select Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Institutional Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to Institutional Class shares. If these expenses had not been included, returns would be higher. Historical performance shown for Service Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Administrator Class shares and has not been adjusted to reflect the higher expenses applicable to Service Class shares. If these expenses had been adjusted, returns would be lower. |
2 | 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. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2016, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 0.35% for Administrator Class, 0.20% for Institutional Class, 0.13% for Select Class, and 0.43% for Service Class. 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 Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been (0.09)%, 0.03%, 0.07%, and (0.26)% for Administrator Class, Institutional Class, Select Class, and Service Class, respectively. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a WAM of 60 calendar days or less. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a weighted average life of 120 calendar days or less. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

6 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Heritage Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 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 February 1, 2015 to July 31, 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 only. 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.

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
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities 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 the method 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 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 manager 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.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Funds Management. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by instruments such as U.S. Treasury, federal agency, or high-grade corporate obligations. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
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 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 January 31, 2015, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains in the amount of $6,617,336 expiring in 2017.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in shareholder servicing and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized 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 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.
At July 31, 2015, all of the Fund’s investments in securities were valued using Level 2 inputs since the primary inputs include the credit quality of the issuer and short-term interest rates (both of which are observable) in addition to the use of amortized cost.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. For the six months ended July 31, 2015, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the applicable subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.13% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
| | | | |
26 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Heritage Money Market Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
Prior to July 1, 2015, Funds Management provided advisory services pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and was entitled to receive an annual fee of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, fund-level administrative services were provided by Funds Management under a separate administration agreement at an annual fee which started at 0.05% and declined to 0.03% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased. For the six months ended July 31, 2015, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.13% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For financial statement purposes, advisory fees and fund-level administration fees for the six months ended July 31, 2015 have been included in management fee on the Statement of Operations.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”), an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the/a subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. Effective May 1, 2015, Wells Capital Management Singapore, a separately identifiable department of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., an affiliate of Funds Management and wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is also a subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from WellsCap at an annual rate starting at 0.0025% and declining to 0.0005% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | % |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Select Class | | | 0.04 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.35% for Administrator Class shares, 0.20% for Institutional Class shares, 0.13% for Select Class shares, and 0.43% for Service Class shares. 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. During the six months ended July 31, 2015, Funds Management voluntarily waived additional class specific expenses to maintain a positive yield.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents. Administrator Class and Service Class of the Fund are each charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% and 0.25%, respectively, of their respective average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. 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.
6. MONEY MARKET FUND REFORM
On July 23, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) voted to amend Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act which governs the operations of registered money market funds. The amendments to Rule 2a-7 when implemented may, among other things, require the Fund to change the manner in which it values its securities, impose new liquidity fees on redemptions in certain circumstances, and permit the Fund to limit redemptions in certain circumstances. The amendments have staggered compliance dates. Compliance with a majority of these amendments will be required on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the rule amendments. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these amendments and their impact to the Fund’s operations, financial statements and accompanying notes.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT 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 Advantage Heritage Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); (ii) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Funds Management; (iii) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”), an affiliate of Funds Management; and (iv) an investment sub-advisory agreement with WellsCap and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. d/b/a Wells Capital Management Singapore (“WellsCap Singapore”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement combines the terms of the Advisory Agreement with the terms of the Fund’s Amended and Restated Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) applicable to Fund-level administrative services. The sub-advisory agreements with WellsCap and WellsCap Singapore (the “Sub-Advisers”) are collectively referred to as the Sub-Advisory Agreements, and the Advisory Agreement, the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements 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-Advisers 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-Advisers 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-Advisers 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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of each of the Sub-Advisory Agreements for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval 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-Advisers 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 noted that the services to be provided to the Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement combined the advisory services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Advisory Agreement with the Fund-level administrative services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Administration Agreement. The Board received a representation from Funds Management that combining these services would not result in any change to the nature or level of services provided by Funds Management to the Fund.

The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers 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-Advisers. 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 considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended March 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to other comparative data. Lipper is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was in range of the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the Fund experienced a portfolio manager change in 2014.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees (which reflect fee waivers, if any, and include advisory, administration and transfer agent fees), custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Lipper to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Lipper reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or in range of the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements and approve the Management Agreement.
Investment advisory and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rates that are payable by the Fund to Funds Management for investment advisory services (the “Advisory Agreement Rates”), both on a stand-alone basis and on a combined basis with the Fund’s fund-level and class-level contractual administration fee rates (the “Management Rates”). The Board noted that the Management Rates include transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs. The Board also noted that the fee rate to be paid by the Fund under the Management Agreement will incorporate the advisory fee and Fund-level administration fee previously payable separately by the Fund under the Fund’s Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement with Funds Management. The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Advisers for investment sub-advisory services (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement Rates”).
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Management Rates of the Fund with those of other funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level. The Board noted that the Management Rates for all share classes of the Fund were lower than or in range of their respective expense Groups.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total advisory fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Advisers for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Advisers, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of the advisory fee between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and Advisory Agreement and to the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreements was 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 and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Advisers from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Advisers’ profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory and management fee structures, and the Fund’s administration fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Advisers, 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-Advisers’ business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Advisers, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
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-Advisers, 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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of each of the Sub-Advisory Agreements for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Advantage Funds
We do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2015. The past six months were marked by preparation for the new amendments to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Rule 2a-7) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, expectation for the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to raise the federal funds rate, and limited supply of high-quality, short-term investments.
We are preparing to implement the new money market fund regulations.
The amendments to Rule 2a-7, which governs money market funds, are scheduled to take place over a two-year period with final implementation required by October 2016. To recap, U.S. Treasury and government money market funds will continue to operate much as they do today, with $1.00 net asset values (NAVs). Meanwhile, tax-exempt and prime money market funds will experience more changes. For starters, these types of funds must separate retail investors, such as individuals, and institutional investors.
| n | | Retail investors will continue to transact at a $1.00 NAV but may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. | |
| n | | Institutional prime and tax-exempt money market funds will transact at a floating, market-based NAV and may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. Once floating NAVs are implemented, daily share prices will fluctuate along with changes, if any, in the market-based value of the underlying portfolio securities. | |
| n | | Additional requirements include increased disclosure and reporting, immediate reporting of fund portfolio holdings, tighter diversification requirements, and enhanced stress-testing measures. | |
While there will be many operational changes ahead, we do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
The Fed has set the stage for increasing the federal funds rate.
Short-term interest rates remained anchored near zero during the reporting period, mainly because the Fed continued its near-zero interest-rate policy. However, the Fed emphasized that the timing of an initial increase in the federal funds rate will depend on economic data, and most Fed members believed it will be appropriate to increase the rate in 2015. In her semi-annual testimony before Congress, Fed Chair Janet Yellen also said that “sometimes too much attention is placed on the timing of the first increase in the federal funds target rate. And what should matter to market participants is the entire expected trajectory of policy.” This suggested that the Fed expects economic conditions to evolve in a way that will make it appropriate for it to raise rates gradually over time.
Limited supply of short-term investment securities continued during the reporting period. Banks have been curtailing their issuance of shorter maturities as they move into compliance with stricter liquidity requirements, while others are trimming the size of their repurchase agreement books to fit the requirements of the supplementary leverage ratio.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Money Market Fund | | | 3 | |
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.

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.

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 returns will fluctuate. The Fund’s yield figures more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund than the total return figures. 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 at the Fund’s website, wellsfargoadvantagefunds.com.
Class A shares, Daily Class shares, Investor Class, and Service Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge. 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.
An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund.

Historical performance shown for Daily Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Class A shares, and has not been adjusted to reflect the higher expenses applicable to Daily Class shares. If these expenses had been adjusted, returns would be lower. Historical performance shown for Service Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Investor Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to Investor Class shares. If these expenses had not been included, returns would be higher. |
2 | 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. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through the conversion of Investor Class of the Fund into Class A of the Fund, expected to occur on or about October 23, 2015, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap Total Annual Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver for Class A, Class B, and Class C at the amounts shown. Effective upon the conversion of Investor Class of the Fund into Class A of the Fund, the manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2017, to cap the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 0.65% for Class A, 1.40% for Class B and 1.40% for Class C. For the Daily Class, Investor Class, and Service Class the manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2017, to cap the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at the amounts shown. After this time, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps 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 Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been (0.57)%, (1.32)%, (1.32)%, (0.60)%, (0.47)%, and (0.82)% for Class A, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Service Class, and Sweep Class, respectively. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a WAM of 60 calendar days or less. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a weighted average life of 120 calendar days or less. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

6 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including 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 February 1, 2015 to July 31, 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 only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as any 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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Money Market Fund | | | 21 | |
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”). 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 Advantage Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities 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 the method 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 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 manager 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.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Funds Management. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to- market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by instruments such as U.S. Treasury, federal agency, or high-grade corporate obligations. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
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 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 January 31, 2015, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains in the amount of $3,884,795 with $3,476,509 expiring in 2017 and $408,286 expiring in 2019.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the 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 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 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.
At July 31, 2015, all of the Fund’s investments in securities were valued using Level 2 inputs since the primary inputs include the credit quality of the issuer and short-term interest rates (both of which are observable) in addition to the use of amortized cost.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting. At July 31, 2015, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the applicable subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Money Market Fund | | | 23 | |
investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.35% and declining to 0.23% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Prior to July 1, 2015, Funds Management provided advisory services pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and was entitled to receive an annual fee which started at 0.30% and declined to 0.20% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased. In addition, fund-level administrative services were provided by Funds Management under a separate administration agreement at an annual fee which started at 0.05% and declined to 0.03% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased. For the six months ended July 31, 2015, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.33% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For financial statement purposes, advisory fees and fund-level administration fees for the six months ended July 31, 2015 have been included in management fee on the Statement of Operations.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”), an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. Effective May 1, 2015, Wells Capital Management Singapore, a separately identifiable department of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., an affiliate of Funds Management and wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is also a subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from WellsCap at an annual rate starting at 0.0025% and declining to 0.0005% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual 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, Daily Class | | | 0.22 | % |
Investor Class | | | 0.25 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap expenses as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Expense ratio cap | | | Expiration date | |
Class A | | | 0.70 | %* | | | October 23, 2015 | * |
Class B | | | 1.45 | %* | | | October 23, 2015 | * |
Class C | | | 1.45 | %* | | | October 23, 2015 | * |
Daily Class | | | 1.00 | % | | | May 31, 2017 | |
Investor Class | | | 0.65 | % | | | May 31, 2017 | |
Service Class | | | 0.50 | % | | | May 31, 2017 | |
* | Effective October 24, 2015, the expense ratio caps will be 0.65% for Class A, 1.40% for Class B, and 1.40% for Class C until May 31, 2017. |
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. During the six months ended July 31, 2015, Funds Management voluntarily waived additional class specific expenses to maintain a positive yield.
Distribution fees
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class B, Class C, and Daily Class shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to Class B, Class C, and Daily Class shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, 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 for Daily Class shares.
| | | | |
24 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Money Market Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class B and Class C shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby each class of the Fund is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the its average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. 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.
6. MONEY MARKET FUND REFORM
On July 23, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) voted to amend Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act which governs the operations of registered money market funds. The amendments to Rule 2a-7 when implemented may, among other things, require the Fund to change the manner in which it values its securities, impose new liquidity fees on redemptions in certain circumstances, and permit the Fund to limit redemptions in certain circumstances. The amendments have staggered compliance dates. Compliance with a majority of these amendments will be required on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the rule amendments. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these amendments and their impact to the Fund’s operations, financial statements and accompanying notes.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT 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 Advantage Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); (ii) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Funds Management; (iii) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”), an affiliate of Funds Management; and (iv) an investment sub-advisory agreement with WellsCap and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. d/b/a Wells Capital Management Singapore (“WellsCap Singapore”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement combines the terms of the Advisory Agreement with the terms of the Fund’s Amended and Restated Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) applicable to Fund-level administrative services. The sub-advisory agreements with WellsCap and WellsCap Singapore (the “Sub-Advisers”) are collectively referred to as the Sub-Advisory Agreements, and the Advisory Agreement, the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements 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-Advisers 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-Advisers 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-Advisers 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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of each of the Sub-Advisory Agreements for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval 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-Advisers 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 noted that the services to be provided to the Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement combined the advisory services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Advisory Agreement with the Fund-level administrative services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Administration Agreement. The Board received a representation from Funds Management that combining these services would not result in any change to the nature or level of services provided by Funds Management to the Fund.

The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers 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-Advisers. 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 considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended March 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to other comparative data. Lipper is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Class A) was higher than, equal to or in range of the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the Fund experienced a portfolio manager change in 2014.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees (which reflect fee waivers, if any, and include advisory, administration and transfer agent fees), custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Lipper to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Lipper reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were equal to or in range of the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups. The Board discussed and accepted Funds Management’s proposal to convert the Investor Class shares into Class A shares. The Board also discussed and accepted Funds Management’s proposal to reduce the net operating expense ratio caps for Class A, Class B, and Class C.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements and approve the Management Agreement.
Investment advisory and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rates that are payable by the Fund to Funds Management for investment advisory services (the “Advisory Agreement Rates”), both on a stand-alone basis and on a combined basis with the Fund’s fund-level and class-level contractual administration fee rates (the “Management Rates”). The Board noted that the Management Rates include transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs. The Board also noted that the fee rate to be paid by the Fund under the Management Agreement will incorporate the advisory fee and Fund-level administration fee previously payable separately by the Fund under the Fund’s Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement with Funds Management. The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Advisers for investment sub-advisory services (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement Rates”).
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Management Rates of the Fund with those of other funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level. The Board noted that the Management Rate for the Service Class was in the range of the average rate of the Service Class’s expense Group, while the Management Rates for all other share classes of the Fund were higher than their respective expense Groups. The Board discussed and accepted Funds Management’s proposal to convert the Investor Class shares into Class A shares, and to reduce the net operating expense ratio caps for Class A, Class B, and Class C shares.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total advisory fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Advisers for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Advisers, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of the advisory fee between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.

Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and Advisory Agreement and to the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreements was 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 and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Advisers from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Advisers’ profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory and management fee structures, and the Fund’s administration fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Advisers, 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-Advisers’ business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Advisers, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
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-Advisers, 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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of each of the Sub-Advisory Agreements for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Advantage Funds
We do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2015. The past six months were marked by preparation for the new amendments to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Rule 2a-7) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, expectation for the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to raise the federal funds rate, and limited supply of high-quality, short-term investments.
We are preparing to implement the new money market fund regulations.
The amendments to Rule 2a-7, which governs money market funds, are scheduled to take place over a two-year period with final implementation required by October 2016. To recap, U.S. Treasury and government money market funds will continue to operate much as they do today, with $1.00 net asset values (NAVs). Meanwhile, tax-exempt and prime money market funds will experience more changes. For starters, these types of funds must separate retail investors, such as individuals, and institutional investors.
| n | | Retail investors will continue to transact at a $1.00 NAV but may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. | |
| n | | Institutional prime and tax-exempt money market funds will transact at a floating, market-based NAV and may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. Once floating NAVs are implemented, daily share prices will fluctuate along with changes, if any, in the market-based value of the underlying portfolio securities. | |
| n | | Additional requirements include increased disclosure and reporting, immediate reporting of fund portfolio holdings, tighter diversification requirements, and enhanced stress-testing measures. | |
While there will be many operational changes ahead, we do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
The Fed has set the stage for increasing the federal funds rate.
Short-term interest rates remained anchored near zero during the reporting period, mainly because the Fed continued its near-zero interest-rate policy. However, the Fed emphasized that the timing of an initial increase in the federal funds rate will depend on economic data, and most Fed members believed it will be appropriate to increase the rate in 2015. In her semi-annual testimony before Congress, Fed Chair Janet Yellen also said that “sometimes too much attention is placed on the timing of the first increase in the federal funds target rate. And what should matter to market participants is the entire expected trajectory of policy.” This suggested that the Fed expects economic conditions to evolve in a way that will make it appropriate for it to raise rates gradually over time.
Limited supply of short-term investment securities continued during the reporting period. Banks have been curtailing their issuance of shorter maturities as they move into compliance with stricter liquidity requirements, while others are trimming the size of their repurchase agreement books to fit the requirements of the supplementary leverage ratio.

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 returns will fluctuate. The Fund’s yield figures more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund than the total return figures. 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 at the Fund’s website, wellsfargoadvantagefunds.com.
Each class is sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the alternative minimum tax (AMT).

1 | Historical performance shown for Administrator Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Institutional Class shares, and has not been adjusted to include the higher expenses applicable to Administrator Class shares. If these expenses had been adjusted, returns would be lower. Historical performance shown for all classes of the Fund prior to July 12, 2010, is based on the performance of the Fund’s predecessor, Evergreen Institutional Municipal Money Market Fund. |
2 | 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. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2016, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver 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. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been (0.27)%, (0.15)%, and (0.35)% for Administrator Class, Institutional Class, and Service Class, respectively. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a WAM of 60 calendar days or less. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a weighted average life of 120 calendar days or less. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

6 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 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 February 1, 2015 to July 31, 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 only. 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.

1 | Expenses paid is equal to the annualized expense ratio of each class 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). |

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund | | | 25 | |
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”). 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 Advantage Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities 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 the method 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 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 manager 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.
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.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in shareholder servicing and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized 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 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.
At July 31, 2015, all of the Fund’s investments in securities were valued using Level 2 inputs since the primary inputs include the credit quality of the issuer and short-term interest rates (both of which are observable) in addition to the use of amortized cost.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At July 31, 2015, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the applicable subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.13% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund | | | 27 | |
Prior to July 1, 2015, Funds Management provided advisory services pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and was entitled to receive an annual advisory fee of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, fund-level administrative services were provided by Funds Management under a separate administration agreement at an annual fee which started at 0.05% and declined to 0.03% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased. For the six months ended July 31, 2015, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For financial statement purposes, advisory fees and fund-level administration fees for the six months ended July 31, 2015 have been included in management fee on the Statement of Operations.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | % |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.30% for Administrator Class shares, 0.20% for Institutional Class shares and 0.45% for Service Class shares. 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. During the six months ended July 31, 2015, Funds Management voluntarily waived additional class specific expenses to maintain a positive yield.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents. Service Class and Administrator Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% and 0.10%, respectively, of their average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. 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.
6. MONEY MARKET FUND REFORM
On July 23, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) voted to amend Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act which governs the operations of registered money market funds. The amendments to Rule 2a-7 when implemented may, among other things, require the Fund to change the manner in which it values its securities, impose new liquidity fees on redemptions in certain circumstances, and permit the Fund to limit redemptions in certain circumstances. The amendments have staggered compliance dates. Compliance with a majority of these amendments will be required on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the rule amendments. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these amendments and their impact to the Fund’s operations, financial statements and accompanying notes.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT 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 Advantage Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); (ii) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Funds Management; and (iii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement combines the terms of the Advisory Agreement with the terms of the Fund’s Amended and Restated Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) applicable to Fund-level administrative services. The Advisory Agreement, the Management 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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval 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 noted that the services to be provided to the Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement combined the advisory services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Advisory Agreement with the Fund-level administrative services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Administration Agreement. The Board received a representation from Funds Management that combining these services would not result in any change to the nature or level of services provided by Funds Management to 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
| | | | |
32 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
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 considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended March 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to other comparative data. Lipper is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Institutional Class) was higher than or equal to the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the Fund experienced a portfolio manager change in 2014.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees (which reflect fee waivers, if any, and include advisory, administration and transfer agent fees), custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Lipper to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Lipper reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement and approve the Management Agreement.
Investment advisory and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rates that are payable by the Fund to Funds Management for investment advisory services (the “Advisory Agreement Rates”), both on a stand-alone basis and on a combined basis with the Fund’s fund-level and class-level contractual administration fee rates (the “Management Rates”). The Board noted that the Management Rates include transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs. The Board also noted that the fee rate to be paid by the Fund under the Management Agreement will incorporate the advisory fee and Fund-level administration fee previously payable separately by the Fund under the Fund’s Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement with Funds Management. The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement Rates”).
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Management Rates of the Fund with those of other funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level. The Board noted that the Management Rates for all share classes of the Fund were lower than or in range of their respective expense Groups.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total advisory fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of the advisory fee between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and Advisory Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was 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 and 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.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory and management fee structures, and the Fund’s administration fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
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 various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Advantage Funds
We do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Municipal Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2015. The past six months were marked by preparation for the new amendments to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Rule 2a-7) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, expectation for the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to raise the federal funds rate, and limited supply of high-quality, short-term investments.
We are preparing to implement the new money market fund regulations.
The amendments to Rule 2a-7, which governs money market funds, are scheduled to take place over a two-year period with final implementation required by October 2016. To recap, U.S. Treasury and government money market funds will continue to operate much as they do today, with $1.00 net asset values (NAVs). Meanwhile, tax-exempt and prime money market funds will experience more changes. For starters, these types of funds must separate retail investors, such as individuals, and institutional investors.
| n | | Retail investors will continue to transact at a $1.00 NAV but may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. | |
| n | | Institutional prime and tax-exempt money market funds will transact at a floating, market-based NAV and may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. Once floating NAVs are implemented, daily share prices will fluctuate along with changes, if any, in the market-based value of the underlying portfolio securities. | |
| n | | Additional requirements include increased disclosure and reporting, immediate reporting of fund portfolio holdings, tighter diversification requirements, and enhanced stress-testing measures. | |
While there will be many operational changes ahead, we do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
The Fed has set the stage for increasing the federal funds rate.
Short-term interest rates remained anchored near zero during the reporting period, mainly because the Fed continued its near-zero interest-rate policy. However, the Fed emphasized that the timing of an initial increase in the federal funds rate will depend on economic data, and most Fed members believed it will be appropriate to increase the rate in 2015. In her semi-annual testimony before Congress, Fed Chair Janet Yellen also said that “sometimes too much attention is placed on the timing of the first increase in the federal funds target rate. And what should matter to market participants is the entire expected trajectory of policy.” This suggested that the Fed expects economic conditions to evolve in a way that will make it appropriate for it to raise rates gradually over time.
Limited supply of short-term investment securities continued during the reporting period. Banks have been curtailing their issuance of shorter maturities as they move into compliance with stricter liquidity requirements, while others are trimming the size of their repurchase agreement books to fit the requirements of the supplementary leverage ratio.

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 returns will fluctuate. The Fund’s yield figures more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund than the total return figures. 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 at the Fund’s website, wellsfargoadvantagefunds.com.
Each class is sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the alternative minimum tax (AMT).

1 | Historical performance shown for Institutional Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Service Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to Service Class shares. If these expenses had not been included, returns would be higher. Historical performance shown for Investor Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Service Class shares, and has not been adjusted to include the higher expenses applicable to Investor Class shares. If these expenses had been adjusted, returns would be lower. Historical performance shown for all classes of the Fund prior to July 12, 2010, is based on the performance of the Fund’s predecessor, Evergreen Municipal Money Market Fund. |
2 | 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. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through the conversion of Investor Class of the Fund into Class A of the Fund, expected to occur on or about October 23, 2015, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap Total Annual Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver for Class A at the amount shown. Effective upon the conversion of Investor Class of the Fund into Class A of the Fund, the manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2017, to cap the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 0.64% for Class A. For the Institutional Class, Investor Class, Service Class and Sweep Class, the manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2017, to cap the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at the amounts shown. After this time, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps 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 Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been (0.77)%, (0.38)%, (0.80)%, (0.67)%, and (1.12)% for Class A, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Service Class, and Sweep Class, respectively. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a WAM of 60 calendar days or less. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a weighted average life of 120 calendar days or less. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

6 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Municipal Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur 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 February 1, 2015 to July 31, 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 only. 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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Municipal Money Market Fund | | | 25 | |
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”). 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 Advantage Municipal Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities 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 the method 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 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 manager 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.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Funds Management. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to- market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by instruments such as U.S. Treasury, federal agency, or high-grade corporate obligations. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
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.

26 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Municipal Money Market Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized 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 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.
At July 31, 2015, all of the Fund’s investments in securities were valued using Level 2 inputs since the primary inputs include the credit quality of the issuer and short-term interest rates (both of which are observable) in addition to the use of amortized cost.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At July 31, 2015, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the applicable subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.35% and declining to 0.23% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Prior to July 1, 2015, Funds Management provided advisory services pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and was entitled to receive an annual advisory fee which started at 0.30% and declined to 0.20% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased. In addition, fund-level administrative services were provided by Funds Management under a separate administration agreement at an annual fee which started at 0.05% and declined to 0.03% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased. For the six months ended July 31, 2015, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For financial statement purposes, advisory fees and fund-level administration fees for the six months ended July 31, 2015 have been included in management fee on the Statement of Operations.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Sweep Class | | | 0.22 | % |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Investor Class | | | 0.25 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through the conversion of Investor Class shares into Class A shares of the Fund, expected to occur on or about October 23, 2015, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap expenses at 0.65% for Class A shares. Effective upon the conversion of Investor Class shares into Class A shares, Funds Management has contractually committed through May 31, 2017, to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.64% for Class A. Funds Management has contractually committed through May 31, 2017, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.20% for Institutional Class shares, 0.64% for Investor Class shares, 0.45% for Service Class shares, and 1.00% for Sweep Class shares. 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. During the six months ended July 31, 2015, Funds Management voluntarily waived additional class specific expenses to maintain a positive yield.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution Plan for Sweep Class shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Sweep Class shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.35% of the average daily net assets of Sweep Class shares.
| | | | |
28 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Municipal Money Market Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Investor Class, Service Class, and Sweep Class of the Fund is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of each respective class.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. 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.
6. MONEY MARKET FUND REFORM
On July 23, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) voted to amend Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act which governs the operations of registered money market funds. The amendments to Rule 2a-7 when implemented may, among other things, require the Fund to change the manner in which it values its securities, impose new liquidity fees on redemptions in certain circumstances, and permit the Fund to limit redemptions in certain circumstances. The amendments have staggered compliance dates. Compliance with a majority of these amendments will be required on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the rule amendments. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these amendments and their impact to the Fund’s operations, financial statements and accompanying notes.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT 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 Advantage Municipal Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); (ii) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Funds Management; and (iii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement combines the terms of the Advisory Agreement with the terms of the Fund’s Amended and Restated Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) applicable to Fund-level administrative services. The Advisory Agreement, the Management 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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval 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 noted that the services to be provided to the Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement combined the advisory services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Advisory Agreement with the Fund-level administrative services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Administration Agreement. The Board received a representation from Funds Management that combining these services would not result in any change to the nature or level of services provided by Funds Management to 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

Other information (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Municipal Money Market Fund | | | 33 | |
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 considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended March 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to other comparative data. Lipper is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Class A) was higher than, equal to or in range of the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the Fund experienced a portfolio manager change in 2014.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees (which reflect fee waivers, if any, and include advisory, administration and transfer agent fees), custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Lipper to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Lipper reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups. The Board discussed and accepted Funds Management’s proposal to convert the Investor Class shares into Class A shares. The Board discussed and accepted Funds Management’s proposal to reduce the net operating expense ratio cap for Class A shares. In accepting such proposed new net operating expense ratio cap, the Board noted that the new net operating expense ratio for Class A would still be lower than median net operating expense ratio of Class A’s expense Group.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement and approve the Management Agreement.
Investment advisory and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rates that are payable by the Fund to Funds Management for investment advisory services (the “Advisory Agreement Rates”), both on a stand-alone basis and on a combined basis with the Fund’s fund-level and class-level contractual administration fee rates (the “Management Rates”). The Board noted that the Management Rates include transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs. The Board also noted that the fee rate to be paid by the Fund under the Management Agreement will incorporate the advisory fee and Fund-level administration fee previously payable separately by the Fund under the Fund’s Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement with Funds Management. The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement Rates”).
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Management Rates of the Fund with those of other funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level. The Board noted that the Management Rates for all share classes of the Fund were higher than their respective expense Groups. The Board discussed and accepted Funds Management’s proposal to convert the Investor Class shares into Class A shares. The Board discussed and accepted Funds Management’s proposal to reduce the net operating expense ratio cap for Class A shares.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total advisory fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of the advisory fee between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.

34 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Municipal Money Market Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and Advisory Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was 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 and 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.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory and management fee structures, and the Fund’s administration fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
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 various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Advantage Funds
We do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage National Tax-Free Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2015. The past six months were marked by preparation for the new amendments to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Rule 2a-7) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, expectation for the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to raise the federal funds rate, and limited supply of high-quality, short-term investments.
We are preparing to implement the new money market fund regulations.
The amendments to Rule 2a-7, which governs money market funds, are scheduled to take place over a two-year period with final implementation required by October 2016. To recap, U.S. Treasury and government money market funds will continue to operate much as they do today, with $1.00 net asset values (NAVs). Meanwhile, tax-exempt and prime money market funds will experience more changes. For starters, these types of funds must separate retail investors, such as individuals, and institutional investors.
| n | | Retail investors will continue to transact at a $1.00 NAV but may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. | |
| n | | Institutional prime and tax-exempt money market funds will transact at a floating, market-based NAV and may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. Once floating NAVs are implemented, daily share prices will fluctuate along with changes, if any, in the market-based value of the underlying portfolio securities. | |
| n | | Additional requirements include increased disclosure and reporting, immediate reporting of fund portfolio holdings, tighter diversification requirements, and enhanced stress-testing measures. | |
While there will be many operational changes ahead, we do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
The Fed has set the stage for increasing the federal funds rate.
Short-term interest rates remained anchored near zero during the reporting period, mainly because the Fed continued its near-zero interest-rate policy. However, the Fed emphasized that the timing of an initial increase in the federal funds rate will depend on economic data, and most Fed members believed it will be appropriate to increase the rate in 2015. In her semi-annual testimony before Congress, Fed Chair Janet Yellen also said that “sometimes too much attention is placed on the timing of the first increase in the federal funds target rate. And what should matter to market participants is the entire expected trajectory of policy.” This suggested that the Fed expects economic conditions to evolve in a way that will make it appropriate for it to raise rates gradually over time.
Limited supply of short-term investment securities continued during the reporting period. Banks have been curtailing their issuance of shorter maturities as they move into compliance with stricter liquidity requirements, while others are trimming the size of their repurchase agreement books to fit the requirements of the supplementary leverage ratio.

3 | The manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2016, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 0.65% for Class A, 0.30% for Administrator Class, 0.20% for Institutional Class, 0.45% for Service Class, and 1.00% for Sweep Class. 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 Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been (0.55)%, (0.28)%, (0.16)%, (0.45)%, and (0.90)% for Class A, Administrator Class, Institutional Class, Service Class, and Sweep Class, respectively. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a WAM of 60 calendar days or less. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a weighted average life of 120 calendar days or less. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

6 | | Wells Fargo Advantage National Tax-Free Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur 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 February 1, 2015 to July 31, 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 only. 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.

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”). 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 Advantage National Tax-Free Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities 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 the method 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 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 manager 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.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Funds Management. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by instruments such as U.S. Treasury, federal agency, or high-grade corporate obligations. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
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.

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.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized 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 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.
At July 31, 2015, all of the Fund’s investments in securities were valued using Level 2 inputs since the primary inputs include the credit quality of the issuer and short-term interest rates (both of which are observable) in addition to the use of amortized cost.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At July 31, 2015, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the applicable subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.13% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Prior to July 1, 2015, Funds Management provided advisory services pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and was entitled to receive an annual fee of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. In addition, fund-level administrative services were provided by Funds Management under a separate administration agreement at an annual fee which started at 0.05% and declined to 0.03% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased. For the six months ended July 31, 2015, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For financial statement purposes, advisory fees and fund-level administration fees for the six months ended July 31, 2015 have been included in management fee on the Statement of Operations.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Sweep Class | | | 0.22 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.65% for Class A shares, 0.30% for Administrator Class shares, 0.20% for Institutional Class shares, 0.45% for Service Class shares, and 1.00% for Sweep Class shares. 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. During the six months ended July 31, 2015, Funds Management voluntarily waived additional class specific expenses to maintain a positive yield.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Sweep shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Sweep Class shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.35% of its average daily net assets of Sweep Class shares.

Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Service Class, and Sweep Class of the Fund is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of each class. Administrator Class is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. 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.
6. MONEY MARKET FUND REFORM
On July 23, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) voted to amend Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act which governs the operations of registered money market funds. The amendments to Rule 2a-7 when implemented may, among other things, require the Fund to change the manner in which it values its securities, impose new liquidity fees on redemptions in certain circumstances, and permit the Fund to limit redemptions in certain circumstances. The amendments have staggered compliance dates. Compliance with a majority of these amendments will be required on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the rule amendments. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these amendments and their impact to the Fund’s operations, financial statements and accompanying notes.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT 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 Advantage National Tax-Free Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); (ii) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Funds Management; and (iii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement combines the terms of the Advisory Agreement with the terms of the Fund’s Amended and Restated Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) applicable to Fund-level administrative services. The Advisory Agreement, the Management 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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval 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 noted that the services to be provided to the Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement combined the advisory services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Advisory Agreement with the Fund-level administrative services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Administration Agreement. The Board received a representation from Funds Management that combining these services would not result in any change to the nature or level of services provided by Funds Management to 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
| | | | |
32 | | Wells Fargo Advantage National Tax-Free Money Market Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
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 considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended March 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to other comparative data. Lipper is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was higher than or in range of the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the Fund experienced a portfolio manager change in 2014.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees (which reflect fee waivers, if any, and include advisory, administration and transfer agent fees), custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Lipper to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Lipper reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement and approve the Management Agreement.
Investment advisory and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rates that are payable by the Fund to Funds Management for investment advisory services (the “Advisory Agreement Rates”), both on a stand-alone basis and on a combined basis with the Fund’s fund-level and class-level contractual administration fee rates (the “Management Rates”). The Board noted that the Management Rates include transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs. The Board also noted that the fee rate to be paid by the Fund under the Management Agreement will incorporate the advisory fee and Fund-level administration fee previously payable separately by the Fund under the Fund’s Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement with Funds Management. The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement Rates”).
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Management Rates of the Fund with those of other funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level. The Board noted that the Management Rates for the Fund were lower than the average rates of the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total advisory fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of the advisory fee between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and Advisory Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was 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 and 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.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory and management fee structures, and the Fund’s administration fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
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 various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Advantage Funds
We do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Advantage Treasury Plus Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2015. The past six months were marked by preparation for the new amendments to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Rule 2a-7) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, expectation for the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to raise the federal funds rate, and limited supply of high-quality, short-term investments.
We are preparing to implement the new money market fund regulations.
The amendments to Rule 2a-7, which governs money market funds, are scheduled to take place over a two-year period with final implementation required by October 2016. To recap, U.S. Treasury and government money market funds will continue to operate much as they do today, with $1.00 net asset values (NAVs). Meanwhile, tax-exempt and prime money market funds will experience more changes. For starters, these types of funds must separate retail investors, such as individuals, and institutional investors.
| n | | Retail investors will continue to transact at a $1.00 NAV but may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. | |
| n | | Institutional prime and tax-exempt money market funds will transact at a floating, market-based NAV and may be subject to liquidity fees and redemption gates under special circumstances. Once floating NAVs are implemented, daily share prices will fluctuate along with changes, if any, in the market-based value of the underlying portfolio securities. | |
| n | | Additional requirements include increased disclosure and reporting, immediate reporting of fund portfolio holdings, tighter diversification requirements, and enhanced stress-testing measures. | |
While there will be many operational changes ahead, we do not anticipate broad changes to the way we manage our money market funds at this time in order to meet the new rules because we have always emphasized stability of principal and liquidity.
The Fed has set the stage for increasing the federal funds rate.
Short-term interest rates remained anchored near zero during the reporting period, mainly because the Fed continued its near-zero interest-rate policy. However, the Fed emphasized that the timing of an initial increase in the federal funds rate will depend on economic data, and most Fed members believed it will be appropriate to increase the rate in 2015. In her semi-annual testimony before Congress, Fed Chair Janet Yellen also said that “sometimes too much attention is placed on the timing of the first increase in the federal funds target rate. And what should matter to market participants is the entire expected trajectory of policy.” This suggested that the Fed expects economic conditions to evolve in a way that will make it appropriate for it to raise rates gradually over time.
Limited supply of short-term investment securities continued during the reporting period. Banks have been curtailing their issuance of shorter maturities as they move into compliance with stricter liquidity requirements, while others are trimming the size of their repurchase agreement books to fit the requirements of the supplementary leverage ratio.

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 returns will fluctuate. The Fund’s yield figures more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund than the total return figures. 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 at the Fund’s website, wellsfargoadvantagefunds.com.
Each class is sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund. The U.S. government guarantee applies to certain underlying securities and not to shares of the Fund.

1 | Historical performance shown for Administrator Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Institutional Class shares, adjusted to reflect the higher expenses applicable to Administrator Class shares. Historical performance shown for Sweep Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Class A shares, and has not been adjusted to include the higher expenses applicable to Sweep Class shares. If these expenses had been adjusted, returns would be lower. |
2 | 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. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2016, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 0.65% for Class A, 0.35% for Administrator Class, 0.20% for Institutional Class, 0.45% for Service Class, and 1.00% for Sweep Class. 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 Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been (0.51)%, (0.24)%, (0.12)%, (0.41)%, and (0.86)% for Class A, Administrator Class, Institutional Class, Service Class, and Sweep Class, respectively. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a WAM of 60 calendar days or less. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires money market funds to maintain a weighted average life of 120 calendar days or less. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

6 | | Wells Fargo Advantage Treasury Plus Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur 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 February 1, 2015 to July 31, 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 only. 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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Treasury Plus Money Market Fund | | | 17 | |
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”). 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 Advantage Treasury Plus Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities 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 the method 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 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 manager 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.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Funds Management. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to- market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by instruments such as U.S. Treasury, federal agency, or high-grade corporate obligations. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
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 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 January 31, 2015, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $6,070 in short-term capital losses.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized 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 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.
At July 31, 2015, all of the Fund’s investments in securities were valued using Level 2 inputs since the primary inputs include the credit quality of the issuer and short-term interest rates (both of which are observable) in addition to the use of amortized cost.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. For the six months ended July 31, 2015, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the applicable subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.13% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Advantage Treasury Plus Money Market Fund | | | 19 | |
Prior to July 1, 2015, Funds Management provided advisory services pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and was entitled to receive an annual fee of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, fund-level administrative services were provided by Funds Management under a separate administration agreement at an annual fee which started at 0.05% and declined to 0.03% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased. For the six months ended July 31, 2015, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.14% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For financial statement purposes, advisory fees and fund-level administration fees for the six months ended July 31, 2015 have been included in management fee on the Statement of Operations.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Sweep Class | | | 0.22 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.65% for Class A shares, 0.35% for Administrator Class shares, 0.20% for Institutional Class shares, 0.45% for Service Class shares, and 1.00% for Sweep Class shares. 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. During the six months ended July 31, 2015, Funds Management voluntarily waived additional class specific expenses to maintain a positive yield.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Sweep Class shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Sweep Class shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.35% of the average daily net assets of Sweep Class shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Service Class, and Sweep Class of the Fund is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of each class. Administrator Class is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. 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.

6. MONEY MARKET FUND REFORM
On July 23, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) voted to amend Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act which governs the operations of registered money market funds. The amendments to Rule 2a-7 when implemented may, among other things, require the Fund to change the manner in which it values its securities, impose new liquidity fees on redemptions in certain circumstances, and permit the Fund to limit redemptions in certain circumstances. The amendments have staggered compliance dates. Compliance with a majority of these amendments will be required on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the rule amendments. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these amendments and their impact to the Fund’s operations, financial statements and accompanying notes.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT 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 Advantage Treasury Plus Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); (ii) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Funds Management; and (iii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement combines the terms of the Advisory Agreement with the terms of the Fund’s Amended and Restated Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) applicable to Fund-level administrative services. The Advisory Agreement, the Management 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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval 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 noted that the services to be provided to the Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement combined the advisory services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Advisory Agreement with the Fund-level administrative services previously provided to the Fund pursuant to the Fund’s Administration Agreement. The Board received a representation from Funds Management that combining these services would not result in any change to the nature or level of services provided by Funds Management to 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 considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended March 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to other comparative data. Lipper is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Institutional Class) was higher than or equal to the average performance of the Universe all periods under review. The Board also noted that the Fund experienced a portfolio manager change in 2014.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees (which reflect fee waivers, if any, and include advisory, administration and transfer agent fees), custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Lipper to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Lipper reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement and approve the Management Agreement.
Investment advisory and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rates that are payable by the Fund to Funds Management for investment advisory services (the “Advisory Agreement Rates”), both on a stand-alone basis and on a combined basis with the Fund’s fund-level and class-level contractual administration fee rates (the “Management Rates”). The Board noted that the Management Rates include transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs. The Board also noted that the fee rate to be paid by the Fund under the Management Agreement will incorporate the advisory fee and Fund-level administration fee previously payable separately by the Fund under the Fund’s Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement with Funds Management. The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement Rates”).
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Management Rates of the Fund with those of other funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level. The Board noted that the Management Rates for the Fund were lower than the average rates of the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total advisory fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of the advisory fee between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and Advisory Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was 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 and 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.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory and management fee structures, and the Fund’s administration fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
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 various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
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 Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for a one-year term through May 31, 2016. The Board also determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.
