These disparate influences tended to obscure improving economic data in the U.S. and several developed European countries.

The decline of oil and natural gas prices that began during the summer of 2014 continued into 2015.

Dear Valued Shareholder:

We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Absolute Return Fund for the six-month period that ended October 31, 2015. During the period, investors confronted concerns about diverging central bank policies globally, stubbornly low commodity prices, ongoing currency volatility, slowing economic growth in China and a dramatic rise and fall in the country’s equity markets, and contentious negotiations to refinance Greece’s sovereign debt. These disparate influences tended to obscure improving economic data in the U.S. and several developed European countries.

Low commodity prices and slower global growth overshadowed improved economic data.

The U.S. economy achieved positive annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth during the second and third quarters of 2015. U.S. employment improved, and corporate earnings were steady. In Europe, the eurozone’s largest economies—France, Germany, Italy, and Spain—reported GDP growth on an annualized basis for the second quarter of 2015, while results were uneven for smaller, developing economies in the region. While annualized GDP growth slowed in the third quarter in the eurozone, overall, it remained positive.

On the news of improving economic data, stocks generally moved higher in April and early May 2015. A confluence of events discouraged equity investors as summer advanced. The decline of oil and natural gas prices that began during the summer of 2014 continued into 2015. At the same time, the value of the U.S. dollar increased relative to the currencies of several key trading partners. Both conditions caused investors concern. Sustained lower prices for oil, natural gas, and other commodities hampered the performance of energy- and materials-sector companies, and their stocks generally suffered. Particularly for large U.S. multinational companies and exporters, the stronger U.S. dollar tended to have negative effects because earnings realized in foreign currencies were reduced upon translation to U.S. dollars. International investors also saw the value of their overseas investments reduced upon translation.

Despite their concerns, equity investors earned a positive return for the six-month period that ended October 31, 2015, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,¹ which returned 0.77%, with 6 of 10 S&P 500 Index sectors achieving positive returns. As might be expected, exceptions included the S&P 500 Energy Index,² which returned -15.32%, and the S&P 500 Materials Index,³ which returned -8.92%. (The S&P 500 Industrials Index,⁴ which returned -0.59%, and the S&P 500 Telecommunication Services Index,⁵ which returned -4.26%, were the other two S&P 500 Index sectors with negative returns for the period.)

¹  The S&P 500 Index consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It is a market-value-weighted index with each stock’s weight in the index proportionate to its market value. You cannot invest directly in an index.

²  The S&P 500 Energy Index is a market-value-weighted index that measures the performance of all stocks within the energy sector of the S&P 500 Index. You cannot invest directly in an index.

³  The S&P 500 Materials Index is a market-value-weighted index that measures the performance of all stocks within the materials sector of the S&P 500 Index. You cannot invest directly in an index.

⁴  The S&P 500 Industrials Index is a market-value-weighted index that measures the performance of all stocks within the industrials sector of the S&P 500 Index. You cannot invest directly in an index.

⁵  The S&P 500 Telecommunication Services Index is a market-value-weighted index that measures the performance of all stocks within the telecommunication services sector of the S&P 500 Index. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Global central bank policies diverged as investor concerns about China persisted.

While the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) consistently stated its intention to increase the federal funds rate when labor-market conditions improve and inflation returns to 2%, slowing growth, particularly in emerging markets, prompted the Fed to defer an interest-rate increase once again at the end of the third quarter of 2015. Investors continued to anticipate an interest-rate increase before the end of 2015 or in early 2016. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan continued its economic stimulus programs, and the Government Pension Investment Fund plans to shift a substantial portion of its government bond assets to investments in the Japanese stock market. In October 2015, the People’s Bank of China cut interest rates for the sixth time in less than a year, lowered bank reserve requirements, and allowed the renminbi to depreciate in an effort to support economic growth. The Hang Seng Index⁶ in Hong Kong experienced a dramatic decline after a similarly dramatic ascent during late 2014 and early 2015. Contentious negotiations between Greece and its debtors to refinance the country’s sovereign debt also concerned investors during May and June 2015. Developed European and Asian equity markets, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (Net)⁷ returned -6.44% for the six-month period that ended October 31, 2015, while emerging markets stocks suffered more significantly, earning a return during the period of -17.75%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net).⁸

Bonds were volatile within a narrow range.

During the period, bonds also experienced volatility, albeit within a more narrow range than equities. The uncertain interest-rate environment left investors unsure of the longer-term prospects for fixed-income investments. For the six-month period that ended October 31, 2015, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index⁹ returned -0.10%. Fixed-income investing overseas was more challenging, with the Barclays Global Aggregate ex U.S. Dollar Bond Index¹⁰ returning -2.00%. The difference in returns likely is attributable to the continued perception among investors that U.S. government bonds represent a higher-quality option relative to international sovereign bonds. In addition, U.S. government bonds attracted attention during the period each time the Fed approached a time at which it might announce an interest-rate increase, only to decline when no increase was announced. Bonds of higher quality and longer duration tended to benefit, especially later in the period.

⁶  The Hang Seng Index is a free-float-adjusted market-capitalization-weighted stock market index in Hong Kong. It is used to record and monitor daily changes of the largest companies of the Hong Kong stock market and is the main indicator of the overall market performance in Hong Kong. You cannot invest directly in an index.

⁷  The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (Net) is a free-float-adjusted market-capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The MSCI EAFE Index (Net) consists of the following 21 developed markets country indexes: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wellsfargofunds.com.

Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 5.75%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deffered sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Class R, Class R6, Administrator Class, and Institutional Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

Absolute return funds are not intended to outperform stocks and bonds in strong markets, and there is no guarantee of positive returns or that the Fund’s objectives will be achieved. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest-rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. Borrowing money to purchase securities or cover short positions magnifies losses and incurs expenses. Short selling is generally considered speculative, has the potential for unlimited loss, and may involve leverage. Alternative investments, such as commodities and merger arbitrage strategies, are speculative and entail a high degree of risk. Foreign investments are especially volatile and can rise or fall dramatically due to differences in the political and economic conditions of the host country. The Fund will indirectly be exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds and will indirectly bear expenses of the underlying funds. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to asset-backed securities risk, nondiversification risk, geographic risk, and smaller-company securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

¹  The Fund invests substantially all of its investable assets directly in GMO Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund, an investment company advised by Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (GMO). Mr. Inker and Mr.Wilderman, co-heads and senior members of GMO’s Asset Allocation Team, have been primarily responsible for coordinating the portfolio management of GMO Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund since 2003 and 2012, respectively.

²  Historical performance shown for Class A, Class C, and Administrator Class prior to their inception is based on the performance of Class III shares of GMO Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund (GBMFX), in which the Fund invests all of its investable assets. The inception date of GMO Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund Class III shares is July 23, 2003. Returns for the Class III shares do not reflect GMO Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund’s current fee arrangement and have been adjusted downward to reflect the higher expense ratios applicable to Class A, Class C, and Administrator Class at their inception. These ratios were 1.66% for Class A, 2.41% for Class C, and 1.50% for Administrator Class. Historical performance shown for the Class R shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the Administrator Class shares, and is not adjusted to reflect Class R expenses. If these expenses had been included, returns for Class R would be lower. Historical performance shown for Class R6 shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the Institutional Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to the Institutional Class shares. If these expenses had not been included, returns would be higher. Historical performance shown for Institutional Class prior to its inception reflects the performance of the Administrator Class, and is not adjusted to reflect Institutional Class expenses. If these expenses had been included, returns for Institutional Class would be higher.

³  Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses, which includes the expenses of GMO Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund and other acquired fund fees and expenses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report, which do not include the expenses of GMO Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund and other acquired fund fees and expenses.

⁴  The manager has contractually committed through August 31, 2016 (August 31, 2017 for Class R), to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 0.71% for Class A, 1.46% for Class C, 0.96% for Class R, 0.28% for Class R6, 0.57% for Administrator Class, and 0.33% for Institutional 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 fees and expenses (including the expenses of GMO Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund), and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the cap. Without these caps, the Fund’s returns would have been lower.

⁵  In light of the Fund’s investment strategy, the Fund’s benchmark was changed from the Morgan Stanley Capital Index (MSCI) World to MSCI ACWI Index (Net) in order to more completely compare the Fund’s equity holdings to an index representing a broader array of countries. The MSCI World Index includes developed-markets equity securities only, while the MSCI ACWI Index (Net) includes equity securities from both developed and emerging markets. The MSCI ACWI Index (Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. You cannot invest directly in an index. Source: MSCI. MSCI makes no express or implied warranties or representations and shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to any MSCI data contained herein.

Fund expenses (unaudited) Wells Fargo Absolute Return Fund 9

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees (if any) and exchange fees (if any), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing 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 May 1, 2015 to October 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 sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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 Absolute Return Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.

The Fund invests all of its investable assets in the GMO Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund (the “Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund”), an investment company managed by Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (“GMO”). Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund is a fund-of-funds that gains its investment exposures primarily by investing in GMO Implementation Fund. In addition, Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund may invest in other GMO Funds (together with GMO Implementation Fund, the “underlying funds”), whether now existing or created in the future. These additional underlying Funds may include, among others, GMO Alpha Only Fund, GMO Debt Opportunities Fund, GMO Emerging Country Debt Fund, GMO Special Opportunities Fund, and GMO Systematic Global Macro Opportunity Fund. GMO Implementation Fund is permitted to invest in any asset class. Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund also may invest in securities or derivatives directly. As of October 31, 2015, the Fund owned 53% of Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund. Because the Fund invests all of its assets in Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund, the shareholders of the Fund bear the fees and expense of Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund which are not included in the Statement of Operations but are incurred indirectly because they are considered in the calculation of the net asset value of Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund. As a result, the Fund’s actual expenses may be higher than those of other mutual funds that invest directly in securities.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities valuation

All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).

The Fund values its investment in Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund at net asset value. The valuation of investments in securities and the underlying funds held by Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund is discussed in the annual report of Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund which is included in the mailing of this shareholder report. An unaudited Statement of Assets and Liabilities and an unaudited Schedule of Investments for Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund as of October 31, 2015 have also been included as an Appendix in this report for your reference.

Investment transactions and income recognition

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses resulting from investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis.

Income dividends and capital gain distributions from Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions from Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund are treated as realized gains.

Distributions to shareholders

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Federal and other taxes

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.

22 Wells Fargo Absolute Return Fund Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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 April 30, 2015, the Fund had a qualified late-year ordinary loss of $22,935,312 which was recognized on the first day of the current fiscal year.

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 and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.

3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of 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.

As of October 31, 2015, Level 2 inputs were used in valuing the Fund’s investment in Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund.

The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At October 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

Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“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 0.225% and declining to 0.16% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. Prior to September 1, 2015, Funds Management was entitled to receive an annual advisory and fund level administration fee which started at 0.225% and declined to 0.165% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased.

For the six months ended October 31, 2015, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

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

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) Wells Fargo Absolute Return Fund 23

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
	Current rate			Rate prior to July 1, 2015
Class A, Class C		0.21	%		0.26	%
Class R		0.21			N/A
Class R6		0.03			0.03
Administrator Class		0.13			0.10
Institutional Class		0.13			0.08

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		0.71	%		August 31, 2016
Class C		1.46			August 31, 2016
Class R		0.96			August 31, 2017
Class R6		0.28			August 31, 2016
Administrator Class		0.57			August 31, 2016
Institutional Class		0.33			August 31, 2016

Distribution fees

The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C and Class R shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to Class C and Class R 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 C shares and 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares.

In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the six months ended October 31, 2015, Funds Distributor received $162,069 from the sale of Class A shares and $7,023 and $23,288 in contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class A and Class C shares, respectively.

Shareholder servicing fees

The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C, Class R, and Administrator Class of the Fund is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.

A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.

5. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

For the six months ended October 31, 2015, the Fund made aggregate purchases and sales of $385,648,450 and $1,483,167,521, respectively, in its investment in Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund.

As a result of its investment in Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund, the Fund incurs purchase premium and redemption fees. These purchase premium and redemption fees are paid by the Fund to Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund to help offset estimated portfolio transaction and related costs incurred as a result of a purchase or redemption order by allocating

24 Wells Fargo Absolute Return Fund Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

estimated transaction costs to the purchasing or redeeming shareholder. The Fund is currently charged 0.18% for purchases and redemptions which are reflected in paid in capital. Prior to June 30, 2015, the Fund was charged 0.13% for purchases and redemptions. GMO reassesses these fees annually.

6. BANK BORROWINGS

The Trust (excluding the money market funds) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $200,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby the Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to September 1, 2015, the revolving credit agreement amount was $150,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.10% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund. For the six months ended October 31, 2015, the Fund paid $11,341 in commitment fees.

During the six months ended October 31, 2015, the Fund had average borrowings outstanding of $859,225 (on an annualized basis) at an average rate of 1.42% and paid interest in the amount of $12,201.

7. 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.

8. SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTIONS

On December 11, 2015, the Fund declared distributions from long-term capital gains to shareholders of record on December 10, 2015. The per share amounts payable on December 14, 2015 were as follows:

	Long-term capital gains
Class A	$	0.12256
Class C		0.12256
Class R		0.12256
Class R6		0.12256
Administrator Class		0.12256
Institutional Class		0.12256

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

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT:

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 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 an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”) for Wells Fargo Advantage Absolute Return Fund (the “Fund”).

The Fund is a gateway feeder fund that invests substantially all of its assets in the GMO Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund (the “GMO Fund”), a series of the GMO Trust, which is overseen by a different board of trustees. The GMO Fund is managed by Grantham Mayo Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (“GMO”). The Fund’s investment objective and principal investment strategies are substantially similar to those of the GMO Fund. References to the Fund and its performance and characteristics are also applicable to the GMO Fund, as relevant.

At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the continuation of the Management Agreement. 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 Management Agreement 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 was 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 Management Agreement, 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 about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports 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 Management Agreement for a one-year term for the period from June 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management was reasonable. The Board considered the continuation of the Management Agreement 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 under the Management Agreement. This information included, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management.

In light of the gateway feeder nature of the Fund, the Board was advised that the scope of services under the Management Agreement would include various responsibilities related to the oversight of the GMO Fund and its performance and investment management activities, as well as fund-level administrative services typically provided by Funds Management under a separate administration agreement.

The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management 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. 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

Other information (unaudited) Wells Fargo Absolute Return Fund 29

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 the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review except the one-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was lower than one of its benchmarks, the MSCI World Index (Net), for all periods under review, and higher than the Fund’s other benchmark, the Consumer Price Index, for all periods under review.

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, acquired fund fees and expenses, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees, but excluding purchase premiums, redemption fees and indirect interest expenses, at both the Fund-level and the GMO Fund-level. 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 the 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, including indirect fees and expenses incurred at the GMO Fund-level, 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 Management Agreement.

Investment 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 management and Fund-level administrative services (the “Advisory Agreement Rates”), both on a stand-alone basis and on a combined basis with the Fund’s class-level contractual administration fee rates (the “Management Rates”). The Board noted that the Advisory Agreement Rates cover both advisory and fund-level administration services, including fund-level transfer agency and fund-level sub-transfer agency costs.

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 the average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes. The Board discussed and accepted Funds Management’s proposal to revise the Management Agreement’s fee schedule for the Fund to add an additional breakpoint.

The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by GMO to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the GMO Fund. The Board received and considered this information because Fund shareholders incur advisory fees payable to GMO indirectly as acquired fund fees and expenses, even though the GMO Fund, which engages GMO, is overseen by a different board of trustees.

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 was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Management Agreement.

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. 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 to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Management Agreement.

Economies of scale

With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management 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 took into account the agreed-upon revision to the management fee schedule for the Fund that adds an additional breakpoint. 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

30 Wells Fargo Absolute Return Fund Other information (unaudited)

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

The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates 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 business as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board also 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.

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 were unreasonable.

2 Wells Fargo Asset Allocation Fund Letter to shareholders (unaudited)

President

Wells Fargo Funds

These disparate influences tended to obscure improving economic data in the U.S. and several developed European countries.

The decline of oil and natural gas prices that began during the summer of 2014 continued into 2015.

Dear Valued Shareholder:

We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Asset Allocation Fund for the six-month period that ended October 31, 2015. During the period, investors confronted concerns about diverging central bank policies globally, stubbornly low commodity prices, ongoing currency volatility, slowing economic growth in China and a dramatic rise and fall in the country’s equity markets, and contentious negotiations to refinance Greece’s sovereign debt. These disparate influences tended to obscure improving economic data in the U.S. and several developed European countries.

Low commodity prices and slower global growth overshadowed improved economic data.

The U.S. economy achieved positive annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth during the second and third quarters of 2015. U.S. employment improved, and corporate earnings were steady. In Europe, the eurozone’s largest economies—France, Germany, Italy, and Spain—reported GDP growth on an annualized basis for the second quarter of 2015, while results were uneven for smaller, developing economies in the region. While annualized GDP growth slowed in the third quarter in the eurozone, overall, it remained positive.

On the news of improving economic data, stocks generally moved higher in April and early May 2015. A confluence of events discouraged equity investors as summer advanced. The decline of oil and natural gas prices that began during the summer of 2014 continued into 2015. At the same time, the value of the U.S. dollar increased relative to the currencies of several key trading partners. Both conditions caused investor concern. Sustained lower prices for oil, natural gas, and other commodities hampered the performance of energy- and materials-sector companies, and their stocks generally suffered. Particularly for large U.S. multinational companies and exporters, the stronger U.S. dollar tended to have negative effects because earnings realized in foreign currencies were reduced upon translation to U.S. dollars. International investors also saw the value of their overseas investments reduced upon translation.

Despite their concerns, equity investors earned a positive return for the six-month period that ended October 31, 2015, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,¹ which returned 0.77%, with 6 of 10 S&P 500 Index sectors achieving positive returns. As might be expected, exceptions included the S&P 500 Energy Index,² which returned -15.32%, and the S&P 500 Materials Index,³ which returned -8.92%. (The S&P 500 Industrials Index,⁴ which returned -0.59%, and the S&P 500 Telecommunication Services Index,⁵ which returned -4.26%, were the other two S&P 500 Index sectors with negative returns for the period.)

¹  The S&P 500 Index consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It is a market-value-weighted index with each stock’s weight in the index proportionate to its market value. You cannot invest directly in an index.

²  The S&P 500 Energy Index is a market-value-weighted index that measures the performance of all stocks within the energy sector of the S&P 500 Index. You cannot invest directly in an index.

³  The S&P 500 Materials Index is a market-value-weighted index that measures the performance of all stocks within the materials sector of the S&P 500 Index. You cannot invest directly in an index.

⁴  The S&P 500 Industrials Index is a market-value-weighted index that measures the performance of all stocks within the industrials sector of the S&P 500 Index. You cannot invest directly in an index.

⁵  The S&P 500 Telecommunication Services Index is a market-value-weighted index that measures the performance of all stocks within the telecommunication services sector of the S&P 500 Index. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Global central bank policies diverged as investor concerns about China persisted.

While the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) consistently stated its intention to increase the federal funds rate when labor-market conditions improve and inflation returns to 2%, slowing growth, particularly in emerging markets, prompted the Fed to defer an interest-rate increase once again at the end of the third quarter of 2015. Investors continued to anticipate an interest-rate increase before the end of 2015 or in early 2016. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan continued its economic stimulus programs, and the Government Pension Investment Fund plans to shift a substantial portion of its government bond assets to investments in the Japanese stock market. In October 2015, the People’s Bank of China cut interest rates for the sixth time in less than a year, lowered bank reserve requirements, and allowed the renminbi to depreciate in an effort to support economic growth. The Hang Seng Index⁶ in Hong Kong experienced a dramatic decline after a similarly dramatic ascent during late 2014 and early 2015. Contentious negotiations between Greece and its debtors to refinance the country’s sovereign debt also concerned investors during May and June 2015. Developed European and Asian equity markets, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (Net),⁷ returned -6.44% for the six-month period that ended October 31, 2015, while emerging markets stocks suffered more significantly, earning a return during the period of -17.75%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net).⁸

Bonds were volatile within a narrow range.

During the period, bonds also experienced volatility, albeit within a more narrow range than equities. The uncertain interest-rate environment left investors unsure of the longer-term prospects for fixed-income investments. For the six-month period that ended October 31, 2015, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index⁹ returned -0.10%. Fixed-income investing overseas was more challenging, with the Barclays Global Aggregate ex U.S. Dollar Bond Index¹⁰ returning -2.00%. The difference in returns likely is attributable to the continued perception among investors that U.S. government bonds represent a higher-quality option relative to international sovereign bonds. In addition, U.S. government bonds attracted attention during the period each time the Fed approached a time at which it might announce an interest-rate increase, only to decline when no increase was announced. Bonds of higher quality and longer duration tended to benefit, especially later in the period.

⁶  The Hang Seng Index is a free-float-adjusted market-capitalization-weighted stock market index in Hong Kong. It is used to record and monitor daily changes of the largest companies of the Hong Kong stock market and is the main indicator of the overall market performance in Hong Kong. You cannot invest directly in an index.

⁷  The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (Net) is a free-float-adjusted market-capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The MSCI EAFE Index (Net) consists of the following 21 developed markets country indexes: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

The MSCI data may not be further redistributed or used as a basis for other indexes or any securities or financial products. This report is not approved, reviewed, or produced by MSCI.

⁸  The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) is a free-float-adjusted market-capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of emerging markets.

You cannot invest directly in an index.

⁹  The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment-grade, U.S. dollar–denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS, and CMBS.

* Class B shares are closed to investment, except in connection with the reinvestment of any distributions and permitted exchanges.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wellsfargofunds.com.

Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 5.75%. For Class B shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 5.00%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Class R, Administrator Class, and Institutional Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

Balanced funds may invest in stocks and bonds. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest-rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. Alternative investments, such as short sales, are speculative and entail a high degree of risk. Foreign investments are especially volatile and can rise or fall dramatically due to differences in the political and economic conditions of the host country. The Fund will indirectly be exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds and will indirectly bear expenses of the underlying funds. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to high-yield securities risk, mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, geographic risk, and smaller-company securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in Asset Allocation Trust, an open-end management investment company having the same investment objective and strategy as the Fund. Any portfolio data shown for the Fund represents that of the Asset Allocation Trust.

8 Wells Fargo Asset Allocation Fund Fund expenses (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing 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 May 1, 2015 to October 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 sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

20 Wells Fargo Asset Allocation 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 Asset Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.

The Fund invests all of its investable assets in Asset Allocation Trust, an investment company managed by Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (“GMO”). Asset Allocation Trust in turn invests its assets in GMO-managed mutual funds (“underlying funds”) and may be exposed to any asset class, including U.S. and foreign equities (including emerging country equities), U.S. and foreign fixed income securities (including emerging country debt securities), and, from time to time, other alternative asset classes. At October 31, 2015, the Fund owned 100% of Asset Allocation Trust. Because the Fund invests all of its assets in Asset Allocation Trust, the shareholders of the Fund bear the fees and expenses of Asset Allocation Trust which are not included in the Statement of Operations but are incurred indirectly because they are considered in the calculation of the net asset value of Asset Allocation Trust. As a result, the Fund’s actual expenses may be higher than those of other mutual funds that invest directly in securities. The financial statements of Asset Allocation Trust, including the Portfolio of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.

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.

Valuation

All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).

The Fund values its investment in Asset Allocation Trust at net asset value. The valuation of investments in securities and the underlying funds held by Asset Allocation Trust is discussed in its Notes to Financial Statements, which is included elsewhere in this report.

Investment transactions and income recognition

Investment transactions in Asset Allocation Trust are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses resulting from investment transactions in Asset Allocation Trust are determined on the identified cost basis. Income dividends and capital gain distributions from Asset Allocation Trust are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions from Asset Allocation Trust are treated as realized gains.

Distributions to shareholders

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net investment income is primarily derived from redemptions in Asset Allocation Trust which are deemed dividends to the Fund. 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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) Wells Fargo Asset Allocation Fund 21

As of April 30, 2015, the Fund had a qualified late-year ordinary loss of $20,057,908 which was recognized on the first day of the current fiscal year.

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 and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.

3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of 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 October 31, 2015, Level 2 inputs were used in valuing the Fund’s investment in Asset Allocation Trust.

The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At October 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

The Trust has entered into an advisory contract with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”). The adviser is responsible for implementing investment policies and guidelines of the 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 0.235% 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 0.25% and declined to 0.175% 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 0.10% and declined to 0.06% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased. For financial statement purposes, the advisory fee and fund-level administration fee for the six months ended October 31, 2015 have been included in management fee on the Statement of Operations.

For the six months ended October 31, 2015, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.33% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

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

22 Wells Fargo Asset Allocation Fund Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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
	Current rate			Rate prior to July 1, 2015
Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R		0.21	%		0.26	%
Administrator Class		0.13			0.10
Institutional Class		0.13			0.08

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 August 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.87% for Class A shares, 1.62% for Class B shares, 1.62% for Class C shares, 1.12% for Class R shares, 0.64% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.44% for Institutional 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.

Distribution fees

The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan for Class B, Class C, and Class R shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to Class B, Class C, and Class R 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 of Class R shares.

In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class B and Class C shares. For the six months ended October 31, 2015, Funds Distributor received $83,204 from the sale of Class A shares and $4,217 and $8,480 in contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

Shareholder servicing fees

The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, and Administrator Class of the Fund is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.

A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.

5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

For the six months ended October 31, 2015, the Fund made aggregate purchases and sales of $2,552,474 and $534,915,804, respectively, in its investment into Asset Allocation Trust.

6. BANK BORROWINGS

The Trust (excluding the money market funds) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $200,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby each Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to each Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to September 1, 2015, the revolving credit agreement amount was $150,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.10% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. For the six months ended October 31, 2015, the Funds paid $5,227 in commitment fees.

During the six months ended October 31, 2015, the Fund had average borrowings outstanding of $88,369 (on an annualized basis) at an average rate of 1.41% and paid interest in the amount of $1,246.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) Wells Fargo Asset Allocation Fund 23

7. 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.

8. SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTIONS

On December 11, 2015, the Fund declared distributions from long-term capital gains to shareholders of record on December 10, 2015. The per share amounts payable on December 14, 2015 were as follows:

	Long-term capital gains
Class A	$0.18824
Class B	0.18824
Class C	0.18824
Class R	0.18824
Administrator Class	0.18824
Institutional Class	0.18824

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

32 Asset Allocation Trust Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

Asset Allocation Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a statutory trust under the laws of the state of Delaware on June 14, 2005 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load, open-end management investment company. 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. The Trust issues its shares of beneficial interest solely in private placement transactions that do not involve any “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Trust is only offered to the Wells Fargo Asset Allocation Fund, a diversified series of Wells Fargo Funds Trust, an open-end management investment company, which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on March 10, 1999.

The Trust operates as a “fund-of-funds” which primarily invests in shares of open-end mutual funds (“underlying funds”) managed by Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (“GMO”). Each underlying fund’s accounting policies are outlined in the underlying fund’s financial statements, which are available upon request.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Trust, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities valuation

All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).

Investments in each class of the underlying funds are valued at the net asset value per share as reported by the underlying funds. Some of the classes of the underlying funds are not publicly available.

Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.

Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.

Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the adviser and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.

Investment transactions and income recognition

Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions from underlying funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions from the underlying funds are treated as realized gains.

Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) Asset Allocation Trust 33

Distributions to shareholders

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Federal and other taxes

The Trust 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 Trust’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 Trust’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Trust’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 Trust’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 Trust’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Trust’s assets and liabilities as of October 31, 2015:

Investments in securities	Quoted prices (Level 1)		Other significant observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)		Total
Assets
Investments in:
Investment companies	$	4,954,017,152	$	0	$	0	$	4,954,017,152
Short-term investments
Time deposit		0		13,532,633		0		13,532,633
Total assets	$	4,954,017,152	$	13,532,633	$	0	$	4,967,549,785

The Trust recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At October 31, 2015, the Trust did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

GMO, a private company founded in 1977, is the adviser to the Trust. GMO also serves as adviser to each of the underlying funds. GMO does not receive a fee from the Trust for its advisory services. However, the Trust incurs fees and expenses indirectly as a shareholder of the underlying GMO–managed funds, including its indirect share of management or other fees paid to GMO.

34 Asset Allocation Trust Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), serves as the administrator to the Trust. As administrator, Funds Management provides the Trust with facilities, equipment, and personnel. Funds Management receives no compensation from the Trust for its services. During the six months ended October 31, 2015, Funds Management voluntarily reimbursed the Trust for expenses in the amount of $42,853.

5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended October 31, 2015 were $841,540,236 and $1,230,010,854, respectively.

7. INDEMNIFICATION

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Trust and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT:

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (each a “Board” and collectively the “Boards”) of each of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (“Funds Trust”) and Asset Allocation Trust (collectively with Funds Trust, the “Trusts”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trusts’ investment advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 19-20, 2015 (the “Meeting”), the Funds Trust Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trusts, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Advantage Asset Allocation Fund (the “Asset Allocation Fund”): (i) an investment advisory agreement (the “Fund Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Funds Management. The Management Agreement combines the terms of the Fund Advisory Agreement with the terms of the Asset Allocation Fund’s Amended and Restated Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) applicable to Fund-level administrative services. The Asset Allocation Trust Board, all the members of which are Independent Trustees, reviewed and approved an investment advisory agreement (the “Trust Advisory Agreement”) with Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (“GMO”) for the Asset Allocation Trust. The Asset Allocation Fund and the Asset Allocation Trust are collectively referred to as the “Funds” and individually as a “Fund.” The Fund Advisory Agreement, the Management Agreement and the Trust Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”

At the Meeting, the Boards considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and GMO, as applicable, 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 Boards have adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist them in the discharge of their 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.

The Asset Allocation Fund is a gateway fund advised by Funds Management that invests substantially all of its assets in the Asset Allocation Trust, which in turn invests in underlying funds that are advised by GMO. The Asset Allocation Trust’s investment objective and investment strategies are substantially similar to those of the Asset Allocation Fund. Information provided to the Boards regarding the Asset Allocation Fund is also applicable to the Asset Allocation Trust, as relevant.

In providing information to the Boards, Funds Management and GMO 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 Boards’ 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 Boards 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 GMO about various topics. In this regard, the Boards reviewed reports at each of their quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Boards and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Boards 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. The Boards evaluated information provided to them about both Funds together and with respect to each Fund separately as they considered appropriate.

After its deliberations, the Funds Trust Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Fund Advisory Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, and approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016. After its deliberations, the Asset Allocation Trust Board approved the continuation of the Trust Advisory Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016. The Boards also determined that the compensation payable under the Advisory Agreements, if any, was reasonable. The Boards considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Funds as part of their consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but their approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Boards in support of their approvals.

Other information (unaudited) Wells Fargo Asset Allocation Fund 39

Nature, extent and quality of services

The Boards received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the respective Funds by Funds Management and GMO under the respective Advisory Agreements. This information included, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management and GMO, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers of GMO primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Asset Allocation Trust. The Funds Trust Board noted that the services to be provided to the Asset Allocation Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement combined the advisory services previously provided to the Asset Allocation Fund pursuant to the Fund Advisory Agreement with the Fund-level administrative services previously provided to the Asset Allocation Fund pursuant to the Asset Allocation Fund’s Administration Agreement. The Asset Allocation 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 Asset Allocation Fund.

The Boards evaluated the ability of Funds Management and GMO to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Boards further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and GMO. In addition, the Boards took into account the full range of services provided to the Funds by Funds Management and its affiliates.

Fund performance and expenses

The Boards considered the performance results for the Asset Allocation Fund over various time periods ended March 31, 2015. The Boards 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 Asset Allocation Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Asset Allocation Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Lipper is an independent provider of investment company data. The Boards received a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe.

The Boards noted that the performance of the Asset Allocation Fund (Administrator Class) was lower than the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Boards also noted that the performance of the Asset Allocation Fund was lower than its benchmark, the GMO Global Asset Allocation Index, for all periods under review.

The Boards received information concerning, and discussed factors contributing to, the underperformance of the Asset Allocation Fund relative to the Universe and benchmark for the periods noted above. The Boards took note of the explanations for the relative underperformance in these periods, including with respect to the investment process generaly and investment decisions that affected the Asset Allocation Fund’s performance.

The Funds Trust Board also received and considered information regarding the Asset Allocation 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, acquired fund fees and expenses, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees. The Funds Trust 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 Asset Allocation Fund (the “Groups”). The Funds Trust 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 Funds Trust Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Asset Allocation Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.

The Boards took into account the Asset Allocation Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Fund Advisory Agreement and the Trust Advisory Agreement and approve the Management Agreement.

Investment advisory fee rates

The Funds Trust Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rates that are payable by the Asset Allocation 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 Asset Allocation Fund’s fund-level and class-level contractual administration fee rates (the “Management Rates”). The Funds Trust Board noted that the Management Rates include transfer agency costs and that, in light of the administration fees payable by the Asset Allocation Fund to Funds Management, Asset Allocation Trust does not pay Funds Management a separate fee for administrative services provided by it to the Asset Allocation Trust. The Funds Trust Board also noted that the fee rate to be paid by the Asset Allocation

40 Wells Fargo Asset Allocation Fund Other information (unaudited)

Fund under the Management Agreement will incorporate the advisory fee and Fund-level administration fee previously payable separately by the Asset Allocation Fund under the Fund Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement with Funds Management.

Among other information reviewed by the Funds Trust Board was a comparison of the Management Rates of the Asset Allocation Fund with those of other funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level. The Funds Trust Board noted that the Management Rates of the Asset Allocation Fund were lower than or in range of the average rates for the Asset Allocation Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.

The Asset Allocation Trust Board noted that the Asset Allocation Trust does not pay a fee to GMO for its advisory services and that GMO earns advisory fees from the underlying GMO funds in which the Asset Allocation Trust invests. The Asset Allocation Trust Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by GMO to other clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Asset Allocation Trust. In this regard, GMO reported that, like the Asset Allocation Trust, these other clients do not pay an advisory fee to GMO and GMO earns advisory fees from the underlying GMO Funds in which the clients invest.

Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, each Board determined that the compensation payable under the applicable Advisory Agreement, if any, was reasonable.

Profitability

The Funds Trust 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 Asset Allocation Fund and the fund family as a whole.

Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Funds Trust 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 Funds Trust Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Fund Advisory Agreement with Funds Management.

The Asset Allocation Trust Board noted that the Asset Allocation Trust does not pay fees to GMO for its advisory services and, thus, that GMO’s profitability from its relationship with the Asset Allocation Trust was not a material factor in determining whether to renew the Trust Advisory Agreement with GMO.

Economies of scale

With respect to possible economies of scale, the Funds Trust Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Asset Allocation Fund’s advisory and management fee structures, and the Asset Allocation Fund’s administration fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Asset Allocation Fund’s expense ratios as the Asset Allocation Fund grows in size. The Funds Trust Board considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Funds Trust 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 Asset Allocation Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Funds Trust 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 Funds Trust Board concluded that the Asset Allocation Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Asset Allocation Fund and its shareholders.

The Asset Allocation Trust Board noted that the Asset Allocation Trust does not pay fees to GMO for its advisory services and thus that any possible economies of scale were not a material factor in determining whether to renew the Trust Advisory Agreement with GMO.

Other benefits to Funds Management and GMO

The Boards received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates and GMO as a result of their relationships with the Funds. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Funds and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and GMO’s business as a result of their relationships with the Funds. The Boards received information about fees received by GMO from the underlying GMO funds held by Asset Allocation Trust and about benefits to GMO from soft dollar credits generated by those underlying funds. The Funds Trust Board also 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.

Other information (unaudited) Wells Fargo Asset Allocation Fund 41

Based on their consideration of the factors and information they deemed relevant, including those described here, the Boards did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates and GMO were unreasonable.

Conclusion

At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and evaluation of the information described above, the Funds Trust Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Fund Advisory Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, and approved the Management Agreement for the period from July 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016. At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and evaluation of the information described above, the Asset Allocation Trust Board approved the continuation of the Trust Advisory Agreement for the period from June 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016. The Boards also determined that the compensation payable under the Advisory Agreements, if any, was reasonable.
