Wells Fargo Funds
Central bank actions abroad diverged during the period to be more accommodative when compared with the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Allocation Funds for the six-month period that ended November 30, 2015. Among the most significant influences on investment markets during the period were low interest rates; low prices for oil, natural gas, and other commodities; a strong U.S. dollar; and shifting investor sentiment, which sparked volatility in equity and bond markets at higher levels than during recent years, pushing markets generally lower.
U.S. economic growth remained slow and uneven.
U.S. annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth was 2.1% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, a slower pace than the prior quarter that restrained investor activity during the third and fourth quarters of 2015. Investor concerns about economic growth in the U.S. were compounded by data on retail sales and industrial production. Retail sales increased in August but at a slightly slower pace than expected, and the overall trend remained constrained. Industrial production declined in August, and the trend remained fairly flat overall with the periodic exception of automobile manufacturing.
On a more positive note, unemployment eased to 5.0% in October 2015 and consumer spending was solid as housing demand improved, although corporate results, as measured by profits from current production, decreased in the third quarter after a second-quarter increase, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. Despite sometimes conflicting data, expectations grew throughout the period that the Federal Open Market Committee would announce the first increase in the federal funds rate since June 2006 after its December 2015 meeting. The S&P 500 Index1 was essentially flat for the period, recording a -0.21% return.
Overseas, central banks diverged from Federal Reserve policy due to economic concerns.
Central bank actions abroad diverged during the period to be more accommodative when compared with the U.S. Federal Reserve. Contentious negotiations between Greece and its debtors to refinance the country’s sovereign debt concerned investors in mid-2015 before the Greek government accepted additional reforms in order to secure new loan agreements with the European Central Bank (ECB). The ECB continued to encourage lending and investing in the region by making funds available to banks at low interest rates, imposing a negative interest rate on bank deposits it held, and purchasing bonds through its quantitative easing program.
During the summer of 2015, the Hang Seng Index2 in Hong Kong experienced a dramatic decline. The People’s Bank of China sought to spur growth by cutting interest rates six times in less than a year through October 2015; lowering bank reserve requirements to encourage lending; and allowing the renminbi to depreciate in support of exports and to advance government efforts to transition to a more market-driven economy. Slowing economic growth in China reduced its importing activity, which, combined with continued low prices for many commodities, negatively affected China’s trading partners, particularly emerging markets countries.
Although Japan’s third-quarter 2015 GDP was positive after contracting in the second quarter, the Bank of Japan expanded its economic stimulus programs to increase injections of liquidity into the economy through additional bond purchases. The Government Pension Investment Fund continued to reduce government bond investments and direct those assets to investments in the Japanese stock market.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Allocation Funds | | | 3 | |
Developed European and Asian equity markets returned -7.42%, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (Net),3 for the six-month period that ended November 30, 2015. U.S. investors in overseas markets saw the values of their investments fall as the U.S. dollar strengthened in comparison with other currencies.
Bond performance stumbled as investor concerns increased.
Bond investors were not spared the negative effects that stemmed from uncertain investor sentiment. While low interest rates restrained yields, periodic flights to the perceived quality of U.S. government bonds in the face of equity market volatility helped support domestic bond prices. As a result, U.S. bonds tended to fare better than bonds issued overseas. During the period, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 was essentially flat, recording a -0.12% return, while the Barclays Global Aggregate ex U.S. Dollar Bond Index5 recorded a -1.76% return.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds and other investments spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Funds
Bond investors were not spared the negative effects that stemmed from uncertain investor sentiment.

Balanced funds may invest in stocks and bonds. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest-rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to foreign investment risk, mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, and smaller-company securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.
1 | The Fund is a gateway blended fund that invests all of its assets in two or more affiliated master portfolios of Wells Fargo Master Trust in varying proportions.

2 | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through September 30, 2016, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at the amounts shown. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the cap. Expenses allocated from the affiliated master portfolios are included in the cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. |

After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the cap. Expenses allocated from the affiliated master portfolios are included in the cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. |

10 | | Wells Fargo Allocation Funds | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder 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 June 1, 2015 to November 30, 2015.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). 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 following funds: Wells Fargo Growth Balanced Fund (“Growth Balanced Fund”) and the Wells Fargo Moderate Balanced Fund (“Moderate Balanced Fund”) (each, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.
Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its investable assets in separate diversified portfolios (each, an “affiliated Master Portfolio”, collectively, the “affiliated Master Portfolios”) of Wells Fargo Master Trust, a registered open-end management investment company. Each affiliated Master Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities, and a Fund investing in an affiliated Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. Each Fund accounts for its investment in the affiliated Master Portfolios as partnership investments and records on a daily basis its share of the affiliated Master Portfolio’s income, expense and realized and unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements of the affiliated Master Portfolios for the six months ended November 30, 2015 are included in this report and should be read in conjunction with each Fund’s financial statements. As of November 30, 2015, the Funds own the following percentages of the affiliated Master Portfolios:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Growth Balanced Fund | | | Moderate Balanced Fund | |
Wells Fargo C&B Large Cap Value Portfolio | | | 4 | % | | | 2 | % |
Wells Fargo Core Bond Portfolio | | | 0 | * | | | 0 | * |
Wells Fargo Diversified Large Cap Growth Portfolio | | | 36 | | | | 16 | |
Wells Fargo Emerging Growth Portfolio | | | 0 | * | | | 0 | * |
Wells Fargo Index Portfolio | | | 2 | | | | 1 | |
Wells Fargo International Growth Portfolio | | | 8 | | | | 4 | |
Wells Fargo International Value Portfolio | | | 2 | | | | 1 | |
Wells Fargo Large Company Value Portfolio | | | 36 | | | | 16 | |

Wells Fargo Small Company Value Portfolio | | | 4 | | | | 2 | |
Wells Fargo Stable Income Portfolio | | | N/A | | | | 100 | |
* | The amount owned is less than 1%. |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).
Investments in the affiliated Master Portfolios are valued daily based on each Fund’s proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s net assets, which are also valued daily. Securities held in the affiliated Master Portfolios are valued as discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements of the affiliated Master Portfolios, which are included elsewhere in this report.
Futures that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price.
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.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Allocation Funds | | | 21 | |
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Funds. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Futures contracts
Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk, equity price risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis by each Fund and each affiliated Master Portfolio. Realized gains or losses in each Fund and each affiliated Master Portfolio are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income in each Fund and each affiliated Master Portfolio is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Dividend income in each affiliated Master Portfolio is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the custodian verifies the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities in each affiliated Master Portfolio is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
Each Fund records daily its proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s interest and dividend income and realized and unrealized gains or losses.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable 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 Allocation Funds | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
Each Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of May 31, 2015, Growth Balanced Fund had capital loss carryforwards that are available to offset future net realized capital gains in the amount of $144,529,745 with $3,749,870 expiring in 2016; $58,201,648 expiring in 2017; and $82,578,227 expiring in 2018.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by each Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Each Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At November 30, 2015, each Fund’s investments in affiliated Master Portfolios carried at fair valued were designated as Level 2 inputs.
The Funds recognize transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At November 30, 2015, the Funds did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of each 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 each Fund, supervising the applicable subadvisers, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with each Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of each Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.30% and declining to 0.22% as the average daily net assets of each 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 0.19% as the average daily net assets of each Fund increased. In addition, fund-level administrative services were provided by Funds Management under a separate administration agreement at an annual fee which started at 0.05% and declined to 0.03% as the average daily net assets of each Fund increased. For financial statement purposes, the advisory fee and fund-level administration fee for the six months ended November 30, 2015 have been included in management fee on the Statement of Operations.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Allocation Funds | | | 23 | |
For the six months ended November 30, 2015, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.30% of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management also serves as the adviser to each affiliated Master Portfolio and is entitled to receive a fee from each affiliated Master Portfolio for those services.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to each Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
| | Current rate | | | Rate prior to July 1, 2015 | |
Class A, Class B, Class C | | | 0.21 | % | | | 0.26 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.13 | | | | 0.10 | |
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 Funds. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through September 30, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap each Fund’s expenses as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Class A | | | Class B | | | Class C | | | Administrator Class | |
Growth Balanced Fund | | | 1.20 | % | | | 1.95 | % | | | 1.95 | % | | | 0.95 | % |
Moderate Balanced Fund | | | 1.15 | | | | 1.90 | | | | 1.90 | | | | 0.90 | |
After the expiration date, each expense 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 and Class C shares of the applicable Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to the Class B and Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter of each Fund, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares.
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 November 30, 2015, Funds Distributor received the following amounts in front-end sales charges.
| | | | |
| | Class A | |
|
Growth Balanced Fund | | $ | 9,444 | |
Moderate Balanced Fund | | | 11,737 | |
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class B, Class C and Administrator Class of each applicable Fund is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.

7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds and certain other 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 $25,000,000 with annual commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund. For the six months ended November 30, 2015, the Growth Balanced Fund and Moderate Balanced Fund paid $341 and $179, respectively, in commitment fees.
For the six months ended November 30, 2015, there were no borrowings by Funds under the agreement.
8. 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 Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Master Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). 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 following portfolios: the Wells Fargo C&B Large Cap Value Portfolio (“C&B Large Cap Value Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Diversified Large Cap Growth Portfolio (“Diversified Large Cap Growth Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Emerging Growth Portfolio (“Emerging Growth Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Index Portfolio (“Index Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo International Growth Portfolio (“International Growth Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo International Value Portfolio (“International Value Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Large Company Value Portfolio (“Large Company Value Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Small Company Growth Portfolio (“Small Company Growth Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Small Company Value Portfolio (“Small Company Value Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Core Bond Portfolio (“Core Bond Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Managed Fixed Income Portfolio (“Managed Fixed Income Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Real Return Portfolio (“Real Return Portfolio”), and the Wells Fargo Stable Income Portfolio (“Stable Income Portfolio”) (each, a “Portfolio”, collectively, the “Portfolios”). Each Portfolio is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Portfolios, which are master portfolios in a master/feeder structure, offer their shares to multiple feeder funds and other affiliated master portfolios rather than directly to the public.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Portfolio, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).
Equity securities and futures that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price. If no sale occurs on the primary exchange or market that day, the prior day’s price will be deemed “stale” and a fair value price will be determined in accordance with the Portfolio’s Valuation Procedures.
Equity securities that are not listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market, but have a public trading market, are valued at the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer that the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”) has determined is an acceptable source.
The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Management Valuation Team.
Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange and therefore may not fully reflect trading or events that occur after the close of the principal exchange in which the foreign securities are traded, but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. If such trading or events are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, then fair value pricing procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Portfolios are applied. These procedures take into account multiple factors including movements in U.S. securities markets after foreign exchanges close. Foreign securities that are fair valued under these procedures are categorized as Level 2 and the application of these procedures may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. Depending on market activity, such fair valuations may be frequent. Such fair value pricing may result in net asset values that are higher or lower than net asset values based on the last reported sales price or latest quoted bid price. On November 30, 2015, such fair value pricing was not used in pricing foreign securities.
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 in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Interests in non-registered investment vehicles that are redeemable at net asset value are fair valued at net asset value when available.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the
| | | | | | |

Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team. The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the adviser and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Foreign currency translation
The accounting records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Management Valuation Team. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are converted at the rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually paid or received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities resulting from changes in exchange rates. The changes in net assets arising from changes in exchange rates and the changes in net assets resulting from changes in market prices of securities are not separately presented. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.
Security loans
The Portfolios may lend their securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Portfolios continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The Portfolios receive collateral in the form of cash or securities with a value at least equal to the value of the securities on loan. The value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Portfolios on the next business day. In a securities lending transaction, the net asset value of the Portfolios will be affected by an increase or decrease in the value of the securities loaned and by an increase or decrease in the value of the instrument in which collateral is invested. The amount of securities lending activity undertaken by the Portfolios fluctuate from time to time, In the event of default or bankruptcy by the borrower, the Portfolios may be prevented from recovering the loaned securities or gaining access to the collateral or may experience delays or costs in doing so. In addition, the investment of any cash collateral received may lose all or part of its value. The Portfolios have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
The Portfolios lend their securities through an unaffiliated securities lending agent. Cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending transactions is invested in Securities Lending Cash Investments, LLC (the “Securities Lending Fund”). The Securities Lending Fund is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act and is managed by Funds Management and is subadvised by Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”). Funds Management receives an advisory fee starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Securities Lending Fund increase. All of the fees received by Funds Management are paid to WellsCap for its services as subadviser. The Securities Lending Fund seeks to provide a positive return compared to the daily Fed Funds Open rate by investing in high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated short-term money market instruments. Securities Lending Fund investments are fair valued based upon the amortized cost valuation technique. Income earned from investment in the Securities Lending Fund is included in securities lending income on the Statements of Operations.
When-issued transactions
The Portfolios may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. A Portfolio records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Portfolio’s commitment
| | | | |
132 | | Wells Fargo Allocation Funds | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Portfolio begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Loans
The Portfolios may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders by corporate or other borrowers. The loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. Investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. When the Portfolio purchases participations, it generally has no rights to enforce compliance with terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Portfolio assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. When the Portfolio purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan and may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. Loans may include fully funded term loans or unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding.
Futures contracts
The Portfolios are subject to interest rate risk or equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
TBA sale commitments
The Portfolios may enter into To Be Announced (“TBA”) sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities or offsetting TBA purchase commitments, which are deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as “cover” for the transaction. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under “Securities valuation”. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss. If the Portfolio delivers securities under the commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.
Inflation-indexed bonds and TIPS
The Portfolios may invest in inflation-indexed bonds, including Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS). Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds (other than municipal inflation indexed bonds and certain corporate inflation-indexed bonds) will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal. The value of inflation-indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. If nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates may rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds, including TIPS, decline in value when real interest rates rise. In certain interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, inflation-indexed bonds may experience greater losses than other fixed income securities with similar durations.
Mortgage dollar roll transactions
The Portfolios may engage in mortgage dollar roll transactions through TBA mortgage-backed securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Allocation Funds | | | 133 | |
Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC). In a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a Portfolio sells a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar security from the institution at a later date at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different pre-payment histories. During the roll period, a Portfolio foregoes principal and interest paid on the securities. A Portfolio is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase as well as by the earnings on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract. The Portfolios account for TBA dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales which, as a result, may increase its portfolio turnover rate.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the custodian verifies the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
Federal and other taxes
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The Portfolios are not required to pay federal income taxes on their net investment income and net capital gain as they are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. All interest, dividends, gains and losses of a Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the interestholders in proportion to their holdings of the Portfolio regardless of whether such interest, dividends and gains have been distributed by the Portfolio.
Each Portfolio’s income tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal revenue authority. Management has analyzed each Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Portfolio’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Each Portfolio’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Futures contracts are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Portfolio at that date. All other assets and liabilities are reported at their market value at measurement date.
The Portfolios recognize transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At November 30, 2015, the Portfolios did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1 or Level 2.
The following is a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:
| | | | |
Managed Fixed Income Portfolio | | Non-agency mortgage-backed securities | |
Balance as of May 31, 2015 | | $ | 1,351,797 | |
Accrued discounts (premiums) | | | 0 | |
Realized gains (losses) | | | 0 | |
Change in unrealized gains (losses) | | | 61,078 | |
Purchases | | | 0 | |

Transfers out of Level 3 | | | 0 | |
Transfers in from acquisition | | | 0 | |

Change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to securities still held at November 30, 2015 | | $ | 19,795 | |
The investment type categorized above was valued using an indicative broker quote. The indicative broker quote is considered a Level 3 input. Quantitative unobservable inputs used by the brokers are often proprietary and not provided to the Portfolio and therefore the disclosure that would address these inputs is not included above.

| | | | |
142 | | Wells Fargo Allocation Funds | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
For certain types of derivative transactions, the Portfolios have entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) or similar agreements with approved counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities or cash to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral and allows the Portfolio to offset, with each counterparty, certain derivative financial instrument’s assets and/or liabilities with collateral held or pledged. Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange traded derivatives while collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded derivatives. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Portfolios under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, if any, are reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, are noted in the Portfolio of Investments or Summary Portfolio of Investments. With respect to balance sheet offsetting, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between the Portfolio and the applicable counterparty. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to the net amounts by derivative type, including any collateral exposure, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Derivative type | | Counterparty | | Gross amounts of assets in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities | | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | | Collateral received | | | Net amount of assets | |
Stable Income Portfolio | | Futures – variation margin | | JPMorgan | | $ | 703 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 703 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Derivative type | | Counterparty | | Gross amounts of liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities | | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | | Collateral pledged1 | | | Net amount of liabilities | |
Index Portfolio | | Futures – variation margin | | Societe Generale | | $ | 181,800 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | (181,800 | ) | | $ | 0 | |
Real Return Portfolio | | Futures – variation margin | | JPMorgan | | | 406 | | | | 0 | | | | (406 | ) | | | 0 | |
| 1 | Collateral pledged within this table is limited to the collateral for the net transaction with the counterparty. | |
7. CONCENTRATION RISK
Concentration risks result from exposure to a limited number of sectors. Portfolios that invest a substantial portion of their assets in a sector may be more affected by changes in that sector than would be a portfolio whose investments are not heavily weighted in any sector. The Portfolio of Investments or Summary Portfolio of Investments includes information on each Portfolio’s holdings, including sector composition, country and/or geographical composition as relevant.
8. 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 Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Funds
Central bank actions abroad diverged during the period to be more accommodative when compared with the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Equity Gateway Funds for the six-month period that ended November 30, 2015. Among the most significant influences on equity markets during the period were low interest rates; low prices for oil, natural gas, and other commodities; a strong U.S. dollar; and shifting investor sentiment, which sparked volatility in equity and bond markets at higher levels than during recent years, pushing markets generally lower for the period.
U.S. economic growth remained slow and uneven.
U.S. annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth was 2.1% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, a slower pace than the prior quarter that restrained investor activity during the third and fourth quarters of 2015. Investor concerns about economic growth in the U.S. were compounded by data on retail sales and industrial production. Retail sales increased in August but at a slightly slower pace than expected, and the overall trend remained constrained. Industrial production declined in August, and the trend remained fairly flat overall with the periodic exception of automobile manufacturing.
On a more positive note, unemployment eased to 5.0% in October 2015 and consumer spending was solid as housing demand improved, although corporate results, as measured by profits from current production, decreased in the third quarter after a second-quarter increase, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. The S&P 500 Index,1 a common gauge of U.S. large-cap stock performance, was essentially flat for the period, recording a -0.21% return. U.S. small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2500TM Index,2 felt the effects of investor uncertainty more severely than large-cap domestic stocks, recording a -4.09% return for the period. Despite sometimes conflicting data, expectations grew throughout the period that the Federal Open Market Committee would announce the first increase in the federal funds rate since June 2006 after its December 2015 meeting.
Overseas, central banks diverged from Federal Reserve policy due to economic concerns.
Central bank actions abroad diverged during the period to be more accommodative when compared with the U.S. Federal Reserve. Contentious negotiations between Greece and its debtors to refinance the country’s sovereign debt concerned investors in mid-2015 before the Greek government accepted additional reforms in order to secure new loan agreements with the European Central Bank (ECB). The ECB continued to encourage lending and investing in the region by making funds available to banks at low interest rates, imposing a negative interest rate on bank deposits it held, and purchasing bonds through its quantitative easing program.
During the summer of 2015, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index3 experienced a dramatic decline. The People’s Bank of China sought to spur growth by cutting interest rates six times in less than a year through October 2015; lowering bank reserve requirements to encourage lending; and allowing the renminbi to depreciate in support of exports and to advance government efforts to transition to a more market-driven economy. Slowing economic growth in China reduced its importing activity, which, combined with continued low prices for many commodities, negatively affected China’s trading partners, particularly emerging markets countries.

2 | The Russell 2500 Index measures the performance of the 2,500 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index, which represents approximately 16% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
3 | 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.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Equity Gateway Funds | | | 3 | |
Although Japan’s third-quarter 2015 GDP was positive after contracting in the second quarter, the Bank of Japan expanded its economic stimulus programs to increase injections of liquidity into the economy through additional bond purchases. The Government Pension Investment Fund continued to reduce government bond investments and direct those assets to investments in the Japanese stock market.
Developed European and Asian equity markets returned -7.42%, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (Net)4 for the six-month period that ended November 30, 2015. U.S. investors in overseas markets saw the values of their investments fall as the U.S. dollar strengthened in comparison with other currencies. Emerging markets tended to bear the negative effects of investor uncertainty, a strong U.S. dollar, and sustained commodity-price weakness to a greater degree than developed markets. For the period, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net)5 recorded a return of -17.67%.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds and other investments spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,

Karla M. Rabusch

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. Administrator Class and Institutional Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Foreign investments are especially volatile and can rise or fall dramatically due to differences in the political and economic conditions of the host country. These risks are generally intensified in emerging markets. 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 smaller company securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

18 | | Wells Fargo Equity Gateway Funds | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder 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 June 1, 2015 to November 30, 2015.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs 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.

Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all investable assets in one or more separate diversified portfolios (each, an “affiliated Master Portfolio”, collectively, the “affiliated Master Portfolios”) of Wells Fargo Master Trust, a registered open-end management investment company. Each affiliated Master Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities, and a Fund investing in an affiliated Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. Each Fund accounts for its investment in the affiliated Master Portfolios as partnership investments and records on a daily basis its share of the affiliated Master Portfolio’s income, expense and realized and unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements of the affiliated Master Portfolios for the six months ended November 30, 2015 are included in this report and should be read in conjunction with each Fund’s financial statements. As of November 30, 2015, the Funds own the following percentages of the affiliated Master Portfolios:

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).
Investments in the affiliated Master Portfolios are valued daily based on each Fund’s proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s net assets, which are also valued daily. Securities held in the affiliated Master Portfolios are valued as discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements of the affiliated Master Portfolios, which are included elsewhere in this report.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Equity Gateway Funds | | | 53 | |
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis in each affiliated Master Portfolio. Realized gains or losses in each affiliated Master Portfolio are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method by each affiliated Master Portfolio. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Dividend income in each affiliated Master Portfolio is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the custodian verifies the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities in each affiliated Master Portfolio is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
Each Fund records daily its proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s interest and dividend income and realized and unrealized gains or losses.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
Each Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
At May 31, 2015, capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains were as follows through the indicated expiration dates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2017 | | | 2018 | | | 2019 | |
C&B Large Cap Value Fund | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 2,818,684 | |
International Value Fund | | | 0 | | | | 0 | | | | 31,783,032 | | | | 4,561,591 | |
Small Company Growth Fund | | | 273,409 | | | | 273,409 | | | | 0 | | | | 0 | |
Small Company Value Fund | | | 0 | | | | 550,192 | | | | 80,412,918 | | | | 0 | |
At May 31, 2015, qualified late-year ordinary losses which were recognized on the first day of the current fiscal year were as follows:
| | | | |
| | Late-year ordinary loss | |
Emerging Growth Fund | | $ | 3,804,464 | |
Small Company Growth Fund | | | 977,160 | |
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by each Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.

3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Each Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At November 30, 2015, each Fund’s investments in an affiliated Master Portfolio carried at fair value were designated as Level 2 inputs. Further details on the investments of the affiliated Master Portfolios can be found in the Portfolio of Investments or Summary Portfolio of Investments of each affiliated Master Portfolio which is contained elsewhere in this report.
The Funds recognize transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At November 30, 2015, the Funds 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 each Fund.

For each Fund that invested all of its assets in a single affiliated Master Portfolio prior to July 1, 2015, Funds Management did not receive an advisory fee. For financial statement purposes, the advisory fee and fund-level administration fee for the six months ended November 30,2015 have been included in management fee on the Statement of Operations for Diversified Equity Fund.
For the six months ended November 30, 2015, the management fee for Diversified Equity Fund was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.30% of its average daily net assets.

* | The Funds seek to achieve their investment objective by investing all of their investable assets in affiliated Master Portfolios. Purchases and sales related to these investments have been calculated by multiplying each Fund’s ownership percentage of the respective affiliated Master Portfolio by the corresponding affiliated Master Portfolio’s purchases and sales. The results of these amounts are then aggregated. |
6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds and certain other funds) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $200,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby the Funds are permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to each Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund.
Prior to September 1, 2015, the Funds, except Diversified Equity Fund, were are parties to a $150,000,000 revolving credit agreement. Diversified Equity Fund and certain other funds in the Trust were parties to a $25,000,000 revolving credit agreement. Interest under each credit agreement was charged to each Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, the applicable Funds paid an annual commitment fee equal to 0.10% under the $150,000,000 credit agreement and an annual commitment fee equal to 0.15% under the $25,000,000 credit agreement. The annual commitment fee applied on the unused balance for each credit agreement was allocated to each participating fund.

For the six months ended November 30, 2015, the Funds paid the following amounts in commitment fees:
| | | | |
| | Commitment fee | |
C&B Large Cap Value Fund | | $ | 285 | |
Diversified Equity Fund | | | 326 | |
Emerging Growth Fund | | | 1,004 | |

During the six months ended November 30, 2015, the Index Fund had average borrowings outstanding of $36,187 (on an annualized basis) at an average rate of 1.39% and paid interest in the amount of $510.
7. CONCENTRATION RISK
Concentration risks result from exposure to a limited number of sectors. Through their investments in affiliated Master Portfolio(s), Funds that invest a substantial portion of their assets in a sector may be more affected by changes in that sector than would be a fund whose investments are not heavily weighted in any sector.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and 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 Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
9. SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTIONS

1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Master Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). 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 following portfolios: the Wells Fargo C&B Large Cap Value Portfolio (“C&B Large Cap Value Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Diversified Large Cap Growth Portfolio (“Diversified Large Cap Growth Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Emerging Growth Portfolio (“Emerging Growth Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Index Portfolio (“Index Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo International Growth Portfolio (“International Growth Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo International Value Portfolio (“International Value Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Large Company Value Portfolio (“Large Company Value Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo Small Company Growth Portfolio (“Small Company Growth Portfolio”), and the Wells Fargo Small Company Value Portfolio (“Small Company Value Portfolio) (each, a “Portfolio”, collectively, the “Portfolios”). Each Portfolio is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Portfolios, which are master portfolios in a master/feeder structure, offer their shares to multiple feeder funds and other affiliated master portfolios rather than directly to the public.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Portfolio, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).
Equity securities and futures that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price. If no sale occurs on the primary exchange or market that day, the prior day’s price will be deemed “stale” and a fair value price will be determined in accordance with the Portfolio’s Valuation Procedures.
Equity securities that are not listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market, but have a public trading market, are valued at the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer that the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”) has determined is an acceptable source.
The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Management Valuation Team.
Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange and therefore may not fully reflect trading or events that occur after the close of the principal exchange in which the foreign securities are traded, but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. If such trading or events are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, then fair value pricing procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Portfolios are applied. These procedures take into account multiple factors including movements in U.S. securities markets after foreign exchanges close. Foreign securities that are fair valued under these procedures are categorized as Level 2 and the application of these procedures may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. Depending on market activity, such fair valuations may be frequent. Such fair value pricing may result in net asset values that are higher or lower than net asset values based on the last reported sales price or latest quoted bid price. On November 30, 2015, such fair value pricing was not used in pricing foreign securities.
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 in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Interests in non-registered investment vehicles that are redeemable at net asset value are fair valued at net asset value when available.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless
| | | | |
122 | | Wells Fargo Equity Gateway Funds | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team. The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the adviser and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Foreign currency translation
The accounting records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Management Valuation Team. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are converted at the rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually paid or received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities resulting from changes in exchange rates. The changes in net assets arising from changes in exchange rates and the changes in net assets resulting from changes in market prices of securities are not separately presented. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.
Security loans
The Portfolios may lend their securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Portfolios continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The Portfolios receive collateral in the form of cash or securities with a value at least equal to the value of the securities on loan. The value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Portfolios on the next business day. In a securities lending transaction, the net asset value of the Portfolios will be affected by an increase or decrease in the value of the securities loaned and by an increase or decrease in the value of the instrument in which collateral is invested. The amount of securities lending activity undertaken by the Portfolios fluctuate from time to time, In the event of default or bankruptcy by the borrower, the Portfolios may be prevented from recovering the loaned securities or gaining access to the collateral or may experience delays or costs in doing so. In addition, the investment of any cash collateral received may lose all or part of its value. The Portfolios have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
The Portfolios lend their securities through an unaffiliated securities lending agent. Cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending transactions is invested in Securities Lending Cash Investments, LLC (the “Securities Lending Fund”). The Securities Lending Fund is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act and is managed by Funds Management and is subadvised by Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”). Funds Management receives an advisory fee starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Securities Lending Fund increase. All of the fees received by Funds Management are paid to WellsCap for its services as subadviser. The Securities Lending Fund seeks to provide a positive return compared to the daily Fed Funds Open rate by investing in high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated short-term money market instruments. Securities Lending Fund investments are fair valued based upon the amortized cost valuation technique. Income earned from investment in the Securities Lending Fund is included in securities lending income on the Statements of Operations.
Futures contracts
The Portfolios are subject to interest rate risk or equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Equity Gateway Funds | | | 123 | |
The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the custodian verifies the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
Federal and other taxes
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The Portfolios are not required to pay federal income taxes on their net investment income and net capital gain as they are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. All interest, dividends, gains and losses of a Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the interestholders in proportion to their holdings of the Portfolio regardless of whether such interest, dividends and gains have been distributed by the Portfolio.
Each Portfolio’s income tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal revenue authority. Management has analyzed each Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Portfolio’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Each Portfolio’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Futures contracts are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due from the Index Portfolio at that date. All other assets and liabilities are reported at their market value at measurement date.
The Portfolios recognize transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At November 30, 2015, the Portfolios did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
Advisory fee
The Trust has entered into an advisory contract with Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”). The adviser is responsible for implementing investment policies and guidelines and for supervising the subadvisers, who are responsible for day-to-day portfolio management of the Portfolios. Pursuant to the contract, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual advisory fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each Portfolio.

Funds Management has engaged WellsCap (an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo), Peregrine Capital Management, Inc. (an affiliate of Funds Management and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo), Artisan Partners Limited Partnership, Cooke & Bieler, L.P., Golden Capital Management, LLC (an affiliate of Funds Management), LSV Asset Management and Phocas Financial Corporation as subadvisers.
The fees for subadvisory services are borne by Funds Management. The subadvisers are each entitled to receive from Funds Management an annual subadvisory fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each Portfolio.
The annual advisory and subadvisory fee rates for each Portfolio are as follows:

6. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS
During the six months ended November 30, 2015, Index Portfolio used uninvested cash to enter into futures contracts to gain market exposure.
At November 30, 2015, Index Portfolio had long futures contracts outstanding as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Expiration date | | Counterparty | | Contracts | | | Type | | | Contract value at November 30, 2015 | | | Unrealized gains | |
12-17-2015 | | Societe Generale | | | 72 Long | | | | S&P 500 Index | | | $ | 37,436,400 | | | $ | 168,015 | |
Index Portfolio had an average notional amount of $28,358,824 in long futures contracts outstanding during the six months ended November 30, 2015.
The payable for daily variation margin on open futures contracts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities only represents the current day’s variation margin. The realized gains or losses and change in unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments are reflected in the Statements of Operations.
For certain types of derivative transactions, Index Portfolio has entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) or similar agreements with approved counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities or cash to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral and allows the Portfolio to offset, with each counterparty, certain derivative financial instrument’s assets and/or liabilities with collateral held or pledged. Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange traded derivatives while collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded derivatives. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Portfolio under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, if any, are reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, are noted in the Summary Portfolio of Investments. With respect to balance sheet offsetting, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between the Portfolio and the applicable counterparty. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to the net amounts by derivative type, including any collateral exposure, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Derivative type | | Counterparty | | Gross amounts of liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities | | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | | Collateral pledged1 | | | Net amount of liabilities | |
Index Portfolio | | Futures – variation margin | | Societe Generale | | $ | 181,800 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | (181,800 | ) | | $ | 0 | |
| 1 | Collateral pledged within this table is limited to the collateral for the net transaction with the counterparty. | |

7. CONCENTRATION RISK
Concentration risks result from exposure to a limited number of sectors. Portfolios that invest a substantial portion of their assets in a sector may be more affected by changes in that sector than would be a portfolio whose investments are not heavily weighted in any sector. The Portfolio of Investments or Summary Portfolio of Investments include information on each Portfolio’s holdings, including sector composition, country and/or geographical composition as relevant.
8. 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 Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

Wells Fargo Funds
Major central banks continued to inject liquidity into global banks and markets through various accommodative monetary policies, including quantitative easing.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Income Funds for the six-month period that ended November 30, 2015. The period was marked by low interest rates, sustained weakness in commodity prices, and moderate U.S. economic growth. Investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index,1 returned -0.12% during the period.
Major central banks continued to provide stimulus.
Major central banks continued to inject liquidity into global banks and markets through various accommodative monetary policies, including quantitative easing. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve (Fed) kept its key interest rate near zero in order to support the economy and the financial system. It set expectations for it to begin normalizing monetary policy with higher target ranges for the federal funds rate by the end of 2015 but also emphasized that any action would be slow and cautious. Meanwhile, European markets continued to benefit from the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) willingness to maintain low interest rates. The ECB held its key rate at a historical low of 0.05%. In addition to its targeted longer-term refinancing operations that are designed to increase bank lending, the ECB expanded its quantitative easing program to include the buying of eurozone government bonds. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Global economic growth was below trend, and oil prices plummeted.
Developed countries experienced subtrend growth and subdued inflation, with commodity prices trending even lower over the course of the year. In the U.S., however, economic growth advanced during the reporting period, the unemployment rate ticked lower to 5.0% as of November 2015, and inflation remained below the Fed’s longer-run objective of a 2% pace. The Consumer Price Index remained in a range between 0.0% and 0.3% on a year-over-year percent-change basis. The period was also marked by dramatically lower oil prices, which fell to less than $42 per barrel at the end of November 2015. While lower oil prices benefited consumers of oil products, the lower prices pressured companies within the energy sector.
Higher-rated credits were top performers, while high yield was challenged.
Ten-year U.S. Treasury yields ranged between 2.00% and 2.50% during the period, ending with a yield of 2.21%. Treasuries benefited both from their safe-haven status as well as their relative attractiveness to global investors considering other developed-country government bond yields were significantly lower. Mortgage-backed securities did the best among the investment-grade sectors. Looking at the credit categories, AAA-rated bonds outperformed BBB-rated bonds. Meanwhile, high-yield bonds returned -5.84%, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index,2 dragged down by the energy and mining-related sectors that were negatively affected by lower oil prices. Investor trepidation about weak global growth caused both investment-grade spreads and high-yield spreads to widen over the reporting period.
Since the end of the financial crisis, structural changes in the fixed-income markets have reduced trading liquidity (the degree to which assets can be bought or sold

without affecting the price). New regulations and capital requirements have caused traditional liquidity suppliers (banks and broker/dealers) to be more risk-averse and hold less inventory. Meanwhile, corporate-debt issuance has spiked as companies finance themselves at record-low yields, bond mutual funds hold larger amounts of this new debt supply, trading volumes are lower, and large-size trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appear to have functioned well over the past year with sufficient liquidity and muted volatility.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest in Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,

Karla M. Rabusch

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 4.50%. For Class B shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 5.00%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Class R, Class R4, Class R6, Administrator Class, and Institutional Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest-rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). Securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored entities may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Fund is exposed to foreign investment risk and mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

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 4.50%. For Class B shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 5.00%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Administrator Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest-rate changes and their impact on the fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. Loans are subject to risks similar to those associated with other below-investment-grade bond investments, such as credit risk (for example, risk of issuer default), below-investment-grade bond risk (for example, risk of greater volatility in value), and risk that the loan may become illiquid or difficult to price. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Foreign investments are especially volatile and can rise or fall dramatically due to differences in the political and economic conditions of the host country. These risks are generally intensified in emerging markets. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored entities may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Fund is exposed to mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk and small-company securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

8 | | Wells Fargo Income Funds | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on
purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including
management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder 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 June 1, 2015 to November 30, 2015.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use
the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical
expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which
is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual
ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs
of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). 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 following funds: Wells Fargo Core Bond Fund (“Core Bond Fund”) and Wells Fargo Real Return Fund (“Real Return Fund”) (each, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.
After the close of business on October 23, 2015, Investor Class shares became Class A shares in a tax-free conversion. Investor Class shareholders of Core Bond Fund received Class A shares at a value equal to the value of their Investor Class shares immediately prior to the conversion. Investor Class shares are no longer offered by Core Bond Fund.
Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all investable assets in a separate diversified portfolio (an “affiliated Master Portfolio”) of Wells Fargo Master Trust, a registered open-end management investment company. Each affiliated Master Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities, and a Fund investing in an affiliated Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. Each Fund accounts for its investment in the affiliated Master Portfolios as partnership investments and records on a daily basis its share of the affiliated Master Portfolio’s income, expense and realized and unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements of each affiliated Master Portfolio for the six months ended November 30, 2015 are included in this report and should be read in conjunction with each Fund’s financial statements. As of November 30, 2015, Core Bond Fund owned 88% of Wells Fargo Core Bond Portfolio and Real Return Fund owned 66% of Wells Fargo Real Return Portfolio.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).
An investment in the affiliated Master Portfolio is valued daily based on the Fund’s proportionate share of the affiliated Master Portfolio’s net assets, which are also valued daily. Securities held in the affiliated Master Portfolios are valued as discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements of the affiliated Master Portfolios, which are included elsewhere in this report.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis in each affiliated Master Portfolio. Realized gains or losses in each affiliated Master Portfolio are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method by each affiliated Master Portfolio. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Dividend income in each affiliated Master Portfolio is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the custodian verifies the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities in each affiliated Master Portfolio is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
Each Fund records daily its proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s interest and dividend income and realized and unrealized gains or losses.
Distributions to shareholders
For Core Bond Fund, distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. For Real Return Fund, distributions to shareholders from net investment income are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Income Funds | | | 21 | |
Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
Each Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by each Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Each Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At November 30, 2015, each Fund’s investments in an affiliated Master Portfolio carried at fair value were designated as Level 2 inputs.
Further details on the investments of the affiliated Master Portfolios can be found in the Portfolio of Investments or Summary Portfolio of Investments of each affiliated Master Portfolio which is contained elsewhere in this report.
The Funds recognize transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At November 30, 2015, the Funds 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 (“Funds Management”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of each 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 each Fund, supervising the applicable subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with each Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of each Fund. As long as each Fund continues to invest substantially all of its assets in a single affiliated Master Portfolio, each Fund pays Funds Management an investment management fee only for fund-level administrative services. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.05% and
| | | | |
22 | | Wells Fargo Income Funds | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
declining to 0.03% as the average daily net assets of each Fund increase. For the six months ended November 30 ,2015, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.05% of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
Prior to July 1, 2015, fund-level administrative services were provided by Funds Management under a separate administration agreement at an annual fee which started at 0.05% and declined to 0.03% as the average daily net assets of each Fund increased. For financial statement purposes, the fund-level administration fee under the prior administration agreement for each Fund has been included in management fee on the Statements of Operations.
Funds Management also serves as the adviser to each affiliated Master Portfolio and is entitled to receive a fee from each affiliated Master Portfolio for those services.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to each Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R | | | 0.16 | % |
Class R4, Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Class R6 | | | 0.03 | |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Investor Class | | | 0.19 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Funds. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through September 30, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap each Fund’s expenses as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Class A | | | Class B | | | Class C | | | Class R | | | Class R4 | | | Class R6 | | | Administrator Class | | | Institutional Class | |
Core Bond Fund | | | 0.78% | | | | 1.53% | | | | 1.53% | | | | 1.03% | | | | 0.52% | | | | 0.37% | | | | 0.70% | | | | 0.42% | |
Real Return Fund | | | 0.85% | | | | 1.60% | | | | 1.60% | | | | N/A | | | | N/A | | | | N/A | | | | 0.60% | | | | N/A | |
After the expiration date, each expense 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 applicable Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to the Class B, Class C and Class R shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter of each Fund, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain 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 November 30, 2015, Funds Distributor received the following amounts in front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges.
| | | | | | | | |
| | Front-end sales charges | | | Contingent deferred sales charges | |

6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds and certain other 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 which was allocated to each participating fund. For the six months ended November 30, 2015, the Core Bond Fund and Real Return Fund paid $2,381 and $23, respectively, in commitment fees.
For the six months ended November 30, 2015, there were no borrowings by the Funds under the agreement.
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 Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
8. REDEMPTION IN-KIND
After the close of business on October 29, 2015, Core Bond Fund redeemed assets through an in-kind redemption. In the redemption transaction, Core Bond Fund issued securities with a value of $223,656,162 and cash in the amount of $20,349,815. Core Bond Fund recognized losses in the amount of $525,821, which are reflected on the Statements of Operations. The redemption in-kind by a shareholder of Class R6 represented 7.17% of Core Bond Fund and is reflected on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Master Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). 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 following portfolios: the Wells Fargo Core Bond Portfolio (“Core Bond Portfolio”) and Wells Fargo Real Return Portfolio (“Real Return Portfolio”) (each, a “Portfolio”, collectively, the “Portfolios”). Each Portfolio is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Portfolios, which are master portfolios in a master/feeder structure, offer their shares to multiple feeder funds and
other affiliated master portfolios rather than directly to the public.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Portfolio, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).
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.
Equity securities and futures that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price. If no sale occurs on the primary exchange or market that day, the prior day’s price will be deemed “stale” and a fair value price will be determined in accordance with the Portfolio’s Valuation Procedures.
Equity securities that are not listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market, but have a public trading market, are valued at the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer that the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”) has determined is an acceptable source.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Interests in non-registered investment vehicles that are redeemable at net asset value are fair valued at net asset value when available.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Portfolios. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team. The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the adviser and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Security loans
The Portfolios may lend their securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Portfolios continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The Portfolios receive collateral in the form of cash or securities with a
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Income Funds | | | 45 | |
value at least equal to the value of the securities on loan. The value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Portfolios on the next business day. In a securities lending transaction, the net asset value of the Portfolios will be affected by an increase or decrease in the value of the securities loaned and by an increase or decrease in the value of the instrument in which collateral is invested. The amount of securities lending activity undertaken by the Portfolios fluctuate from time to time, In the event of default or bankruptcy by the borrower, the Portfolios may be prevented from recovering the loaned securities or gaining access to the collateral or may experience delays or costs in doing so. In addition, the investment of any cash collateral received may lose all or part of its value. The Portfolios have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
The Portfolios lend their securities through an unaffiliated securities lending agent. Cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending transactions is invested in Securities Lending Cash Investments, LLC (the “Securities Lending Fund”). The Securities Lending Fund is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act and is managed by Funds Management and is subadvised by Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”). Funds Management receives an advisory fee starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Securities Lending Fund increase. All of the fees received by Funds Management are paid to WellsCap for its services as subadviser. The Securities Lending Fund seeks to provide a positive return compared to the daily Fed Funds Open rate by investing in high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated short-term money market instruments. Securities Lending Fund investments are fair valued based upon the amortized cost valuation technique. Income earned from investment in the Securities Lending Fund is included in securities lending income on the Statements of Operations.
When-issued transactions
Each Portfolio may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. A Portfolio records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Portfolio’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Portfolio begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Loans
The Portfolios may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders by corporate or other borrowers. The loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. Investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. When the Portfolio purchases participations, it generally has no rights to enforce compliance with terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Portfolio assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. When the Portfolio purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan and may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. Loans may include fully funded term loans or unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding.
Futures contracts
Each Portfolio is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
TBA sale commitments
The Portfolio may enter into To Be Announced (“TBA”) sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities or offsetting TBA purchase commitments, which are deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as ���cover” for the transaction. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the current market value of
| | | | |
46 | | Wells Fargo Income Funds | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under “Securities valuation”. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss. If the Portfolio delivers securities under the commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.
Inflation-indexed bonds and TIPS
The Portfolios may invest in inflation-indexed bonds, including Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS). Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds (other than municipal inflation indexed bonds and certain corporate inflation-indexed bonds) will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal. The value of inflation-indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. If nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates may rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds, including TIPS, decline in value when real interest rates rise. In certain interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, inflation-indexed bonds may experience greater losses than other fixed income securities with similar durations.
Mortgage dollar roll transactions
Each Portfolio may engage in mortgage dollar roll transactions through TBA mortgage-backed securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC). In a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a Portfolio sells a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar security from the institution at a later date at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different pre-payment histories. During the roll period, a Portfolio foregoes principal and interest paid on the securities. A Portfolio is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase as well as by the earnings on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract. The Portfolios account for TBA dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales which, as a result, may increase its portfolio turnover rate.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.
Income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
Federal and other taxes
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The Portfolios are not required to pay federal income taxes on their net investment income and net capital gain as they are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. All interest, dividends, gains and losses of a Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the interestholders in proportion to their holdings of the Portfolio regardless of whether such interest, dividends and gains have been distributed by the Portfolio.
Each Portfolio’s income tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal revenue authority. Management has analyzed each Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Portfolio’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Each Portfolio’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing each Portfolio’s assets and liabilities as of November 30, 2015:

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Advisory fee
The Trust has entered into an advisory contract with Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”). The adviser is responsible for implementing investment policies and guidelines and for supervising the subadvisers, who are responsible for day-to-day portfolio management of the Portfolios.
Pursuant to the contract, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual advisory fee starting at 0.40% and declining to 0.30% as the average daily net assets of each Portfolio increase. For the six months ended November 30, 2015, the advisory fee for Core Bond Portfolio and Real Return Portfolio was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.35% and 0.40%, respectively, of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Funds. The fees for subadvisory services are borne by Funds Management. WellsCap, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to each Portfolio and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of Core Bond Portfolio increase, and an annual rate starting at 0.28% and declining to 0.18% as the average daily net assets of Real Return Portfolio increase.
Funds Management has voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed advisory fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Portfolios.

6. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS
During the six months ended November 30, 2015, Real Return Portfolio entered into futures contracts to speculate on interest rates and to help manage the duration of the portfolio.
At November 30, 2015, the Real Return Portfolio had long and short futures contracts outstanding as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Expiration date | | Counterparty | | Contracts | | Type | | Contract value at November 30, 2015 | | | Unrealized gains (losses) | |
03-21-2016 | | JPMorgan | | 2 Short | | U.S. Treasury Bonds | | $ | 308,000 | | | $ | (3,066 | ) |
03-21-2016 | | JPMorgan | | 2 Long | | 5 Year U.S. Treasury Notes | | | 237,359 | | | | 215 | |
Real Return Portfolio had an average notional amount of $143,629 and $454,141 in long and short futures contracts during the six months ended November 30, 2015.
The payable for daily variation margin on open futures contracts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities only represents the current day’s variation margin. The realized gains or losses and change in unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments are reflected in the Statements of Operations.
For certain types of derivative transactions, the Portfolios have entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) or similar agreements with approved counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities or cash to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral and allows the Portfolio to offset, with each counterparty, certain derivative financial instrument’s assets and/or liabilities with collateral held or pledged. Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange traded
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Income Funds | | | 49 | |
derivatives while collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded derivatives. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Portfolios under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, if any, are reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, are noted in the Portfolio of Investments or Summary Portfolio of Investments. With respect to balance sheet offsetting, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between the Portfolio and the applicable counterparty. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to the net amounts by derivative type, including any collateral exposure, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Derivative type | | Counterparty | | Gross amounts of liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities | | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | | Collateral pledged1 | | | Net amount of liabilities | |
Real Return Portfolio | | Futures – variation margin | | JPMorgan | | $ | 406 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | (406 | ) | | $ | 0 | |
1 | | Collateral pledged within this table is limited to the collateral for the net transaction with the counterparty. |
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 Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Funds
Central bank actions abroad diverged during the period to be more accommodative when compared with the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo WealthBuilderSM Portfolios for the six-month period that ended November 30, 2015. Among the most significant influences on investment markets during the period were low interest rates; low prices for oil, natural gas, and other commodities; a strong U.S. dollar; and shifting investor sentiment, which sparked volatility in equity and bond markets at higher levels than during recent years, pushing markets generally lower.
U.S. economic growth remained slow and uneven.
U.S. annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth was 2.1% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, a slower pace than the prior quarter that restrained investor activity during the third and fourth quarters of 2015. Investor concerns about economic growth in the U.S. were compounded by data on retail sales and industrial production. Retail sales increased in August but at a slightly slower pace than expected, and the overall trend remained constrained. Industrial production declined in August, and the trend remained fairly flat overall with the periodic exception of automobile manufacturing.
On a more positive note, unemployment eased to 5.0% in October 2015 and consumer spending was solid as housing demand improved, although corporate results, as measured by profits from current production, decreased in the third quarter after a second-quarter increase, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. Despite sometimes conflicting data, expectations grew throughout the period that the Federal Open Market Committee would announce the first increase in the federal funds rate since June 2006 after its December 2015 meeting. The S&P 500 Index1 was essentially flat for the period, recording a -0.21% return.
Overseas, central banks diverged from Federal Reserve policy due to economic concerns.
Central bank actions abroad diverged during the period to be more accommodative when compared with the U.S. Federal Reserve. Contentious negotiations between Greece and its debtors to refinance the country’s sovereign debt concerned investors in mid-2015 before the Greek government accepted additional reforms in order to secure new loan agreements with the European Central Bank (ECB). The ECB continued to encourage lending and investing in the region by making funds available to banks at low interest rates, imposing a negative interest rate on bank deposits it held, and purchasing bonds through its quantitative easing program.
During the summer of 2015, the Hang Seng Index2 in Hong Kong experienced a dramatic decline. The People’s Bank of China sought to spur growth by cutting interest rates six times in less than a year through October 2015; lowering bank reserve requirements to encourage lending; and allowing the renminbi to depreciate in support of exports and to advance government efforts to transition to a more market-driven economy. Slowing economic growth in China reduced its importing activity, which, combined with continued low prices for many commodities, negatively affected China’s trading partners, particularly emerging markets countries.

Although Japan’s third-quarter 2015 GDP was positive after contracting in the second quarter, the Bank of Japan expanded its economic stimulus programs to increase injections of liquidity into the economy through additional bond purchases. The Government Pension Investment Fund continued to reduce government bond investments and direct those assets to investments in the Japanese stock market.
Developed European and Asian equity markets returned -7.42%, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (Net)3 for the six-month period that ended November 30, 2015. U.S. investors in overseas markets saw the values of their investments fall as the U.S. dollar strengthened in comparison with other currencies.
Bond performance stumbled as investor concerns increased.
Bond investors were not spared the negative effects that stemmed from uncertain investor sentiment. While low interest rates restrained yields, periodic flights to the perceived quality of U.S. government bonds in the face of equity market volatility helped support domestic bond prices. As a result, U.S. bonds tended to fare better than bonds issued overseas. During the period, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 was essentially flat, recording a -0.12% return, while the Barclays Global Aggregate ex U.S. Dollar Bond Index5 recorded a -1.76% return.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds and other investments spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Funds

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Portfolio’s website, 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 WealthBuilder Portfolios, the maximum front-end sales charge is 1.50%.
Balanced funds may invest in stocks and bonds. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Portfolio. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest-rate changes and their impact on the Portfolio and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. The Portfolio will indirectly be exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds and will indirectly bear expenses of the underlying funds. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Portfolio is exposed to alternative investment risk, foreign investment risk, high-yield securities risk, mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, and smaller-company investment risk. Consult the Portfolio’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Portfolio’s website, 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 WealthBuilder Portfolios, the maximum front-end sales charge is 1.50%.
Balanced funds may invest in stocks and bonds. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Portfolio. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest-rate changes and their impact on the Portfolio and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The Portfolio will indirectly be exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds and will indirectly bear expenses of the underlying funds. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Portfolio is exposed to alternative investment risk, foreign investment risk, high-yield securities risk, mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, and smaller-company investment risk. Consult the Portfolio’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

Fund expenses (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo WealthBuilder Portfolios | | | 17 | |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on
purchase payments 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 June 1, 2015 to November 30, 2015.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). 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 following portfolios: the Wells Fargo WealthBuilder Conservative Allocation Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Conservative Allocation Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo WealthBuilder Moderate Balanced Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Moderate Balanced Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo WealthBuilder Growth Balanced Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Growth Balanced Portfolio”), the Wells Fargo WealthBuilder Growth Allocation Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Growth Allocation Portfolio” ), the Wells Fargo WealthBuilder Equity Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Equity Portfolio” ), and the Wells Fargo WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio (“WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio”) (each, a “Portfolio”, collectively, the “Portfolios”). Each Portfolio is a diversified series of the Trust.
Each Portfolio is a fund-of-funds that invests in various affiliated mutual funds, unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”) to pursue its investment objective. The Underlying Funds incur separate expenses in seeking to achieve their investment objectives. Investments in affiliated funds may also include investments in one or more separate diversified portfolios (each, an “affiliated Master Portfolio”, collectively, the “affiliated Master Portfolios”) of Wells Fargo Master Trust, a registered open-end management investment company. Each affiliated Master Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities, and a Portfolio investing in an affiliated Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. Each Portfolio accounts for its investment in the affiliated Master Portfolios as partnership investments and records on a daily basis its share of the affiliated Master Portfolio’s income, expense, and realized and unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements and financial highlights for the Underlying Funds are presented in separate financial statements and may be obtained by contacting Investor Services for the Wells Fargo Funds or by contacting the servicing agent of the unaffiliated mutual funds.
As of November 30, 2015, the Portfolios own the following percentages of the affiliated Master Portfolios:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Wells Fargo Core Bond Portfolio | | | Wells Fargo Emerging Growth Portfolio | | | Wells Fargo International Growth Portfolio | | | Wells Fargo Small Company Value Portfolio | |
WealthBuilder Conservative Allocation Portfolio | | | 3 | % | | | 0 | %* | | | 4 | % | | | 2 | % |
WealthBuilder Moderate Balanced Portfolio | | | 4 | % | | | 1 | % | | | 13 | % | | | 6 | % |
WealthBuilder Growth Balanced Portfolio | | | 3 | % | | | 2 | % | | | 23 | % | | | 11 | % |
WealthBuilder Growth Allocation Portfolio | | | 1 | % | | | 1 | % | | | 14 | % | | | 7 | % |
WealthBuilder Equity Portfolio | | | N/A | | | | 0 | %* | | | 6 | % | | | 2 | % |
WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio | | | N/A | | | | 2 | % | | | 17 | % | | | 8 | % |
* | The amount owned is less than 1%. |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Portfolio, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).
Investments in underlying open-end investment companies are valued at net asset per share as reported by the Underlying Funds as of the close of the regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading. Investments in affiliated Master Portfolios are valued daily based on each Portfolio’s proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s net assets, which are also valued daily.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo WealthBuilder Portfolios | | | 43 | |
Equity securities and futures that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price. If no sale occurs on the primary exchange or market that day, the prior day’s price will be deemed “stale” and a fair value price will be determined in accordance with the Portfolio’s Valuation Procedures.
Equity securities that are not listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market, but have a public trading market, are valued at the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer that the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”) has determined is an acceptable source.
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 Portfolios. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team. The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Futures contracts
Each Portfolio is subject to interest rate risk, equity price risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts in order to effect tactical allocations changes in a Portfolio. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions from Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions from Underlying Funds are treated as realized gains.
Interest income for each Portfolio and each affiliated Master Portfolio is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Each Portfolio records on a daily basis its proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s interest and dividend income, in addition to expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses.

44 | | Wells Fargo WealthBuilder Portfolios | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
Each Portfolio’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed each Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
At May 31, 2015, capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains were as follows through the indicated expiration date:
| | | | |
| | 2018 | |
WealthBuilder Equity Portfolio | | $ | 5,980,330 | |
WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio | | | 46,775,643 | |
At May 31, 2015, late-year ordinary losses, which will be recognized on the first day of the following fiscal year were as follows:
| | | | |
| | Late-year ordinary loss | |
WealthBuilder Growth Allocation Portfolio | | $ | (311,623 | ) |
WealthBuilder Equity Portfolio | | | (223,510 | ) |
WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio | | | (1,084,514 | ) |
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Portfolio’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Each Portfolio’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of each Portfolio and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement.

For WealthBuilder Tactical Equity Portfolio, the receivable for daily variation margin on open futures contracts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities only represents the current day’s variation margin. The realized gains and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are reflected in the Statements of Operations.
For certain types of derivative transactions, the Portfolio has entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) or similar agreements with approved counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities or cash to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral and allows the Portfolio to offset, with each counterparty, certain derivative financial instrument’s assets and/or liabilities with collateral held or pledged. Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange traded derivatives while collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded derivatives. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Portfolio under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, if any, are reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, are noted in the Portfolio of Investments. With respect to balance sheet offsetting, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between the Portfolio and the applicable counterparty. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to the net amounts by derivative type, including any collateral exposure, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The Trust (excluding the money market funds and certain other funds in the Trust) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $200,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby the Portfolios are permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to each Portfolio based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating Portfolio. 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 Portfolio.

9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses.

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 following funds: Wells Fargo Dynamic Target Today Fund (“Dynamic Target Today Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2015 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2015 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2020 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2020 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2025 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2025 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2030 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2030 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2035 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2035 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2040 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2040 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2045 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2045 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2050 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2050 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2055 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2055 Fund”) and Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2060 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2060 Fund”) (each, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.
Each Fund is a fund-of-funds that primarily invests in various affiliated mutual funds, unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”) to pursue its invesetment objective. The Underlying Funds incur separate expenses in seeking to achieve their investment objectives. The investment in affiliated funds may also include investments in one or more separate diversified portfolios (each, an “affiliated Master Portfolio”, collectively, the “affiliated Master Portfolios”) of Wells Fargo Master Trust, a registered open-end management investment company. Each affiliated Master Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities, and a Fund investing in an affiliated Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. Each Fund accounts for its investment in an affiliated Master Portfolios as partnership investments and records on a daily basis its share of the affiliated Master Portfolio’s income, expense and realized and unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements and financial highlights for the Underlying Funds are presented in separate financial statements and may be obtained by contacting Investor Services for the Wells Fargo Funds or by contacting the servicing agent of the unaffiliated mutual funds.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time).
Investments in underlying open-end mutual fund are valued at net asset per share as reported by the Underlying Funds as of the close of the regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading. Investments in affiliated Master Portfolios are valued daily based on each Fund’s proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s net assets, which are also valued daily.
Equity securities that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price. If no sale occurs on the primary exchange or market that day, the prior day’s price will be deemed “stale” and a fair value price will be determined in accordance with each Fund’s Valuation Procedures.
Equity securities that are not listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market, but have a public trading market, are valued at the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer that the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”) has determined is an acceptable source.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Funds. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team. The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Dynamic Target Date Funds |
used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions from Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions from Underlying Funds are treated as realized gains.
Each Fund records on a daily basis its proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s interest and dividend income, in addition to expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
Each Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns will be subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by each Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of each Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement.

Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to each Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record- keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:

Distribution fees
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan for Class C and Class R shares of each Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to the Class C and Class R shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter of each Fund, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class 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.
Shareholder servicing fees

A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees are paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
4. 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 Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
