In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) began normalizing monetary policy, raising the federal funds rate to between 0.25% and 0.50% in December 2015. Short-term municipal bond yields rose, but yields on longer-term bonds declined. In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index1, a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, returned 7.65% during the 12-month reporting period.
Monetary policy was accommodative.
The Fed continued an easy monetary policy in order to support the economy and the financial system. However, it raised the federal funds target rate in December because it believed the U.S. economy was strong enough to begin normalizing monetary policy. The European Central Bank cut all three of its short-term rates during the reporting period, increased its asset-purchase program from 60 billion euros per month to 80 billion, expanded the list of eligible securities to include investment-grade nonbank debt, and created a fund-to-lend program where banks could be paid to lend money. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Despite accommodative central-bank policies that helped keep interest rates at ultra-low levels, there were periods of volatility. Early in 2016, weakness in certain emerging markets economies and commodities hurt riskier assets and a vote in June 2016 by the U.K. to exit the European Union set off another round of global uncertainty. Municipal bonds benefited because they are perceived as a safe-haven asset. In addition, investor demand for yield helped lower-rated debt outperform. The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index2 returned 12.09% during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016.
Strong demand, modest supply, and solid credit fundamentals supported municipals.
Market technicals remained favorable. According to the Investment Company Institute, more than $33 billion was allocated to municipal mutual funds during the first half of 2016, which was more than double the inflows during all of 2015. Further, inflows during the second quarter of 2016 were the largest in nearly seven years. In contrast, less new supply helped make 2015 the fifth calendar year of negative net supply and supply in the first half of 2016 was about 4% less than the same period last year.
Municipal credit quality remained on an uptrend despite a number of high-profile negative credit situations. Idiosyncratic credit risks remain, however. With regard to Puerto Rico, the U.S. enacted legislation that prohibits bondholder lawsuits temporarily and instills a fiscal oversight board for Puerto Rico; Puerto Rico then declared a moratorium on paying its general obligation (GO) bonds and defaulted on $911 million in payments due (most of which were GOs) on July 1, 2016.

state of Illinois approved a six-month stopgap budget, a temporary but meaningful step. Under this stopgap budget for the state, the city of Chicago receives authority to raise property taxes for teacher pensions and low-income school districts would receive greater state funding. City of Chicago and school district debt rallied on the news.
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 trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appear to have functioned well over the past year with sufficient liquidity.
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,

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 2.00%. 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.
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 California municipal securities risk and high-yield securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund outperformed its benchmarks, the Barclays Municipal Bond 1–5 Year Blend Index and the Barclays California Municipal Bond 1–5 Year Blend Index, during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. |
n | | The main contributors to results were the Fund’s longer duration and its yield-curve positioning because interest rates fell and municipal bonds rallied. |
n | | The Fund’s sector and credit allocation also helped. It was overweight A-rated and BBB-rated credit categories, which outperformed because medium-quality credits outperformed higher-quality ones. |
n | | Security selection in the housing and transportation sectors detracted from results because the Fund’s holdings underperformed those in the index. |
|
Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20167 |
|
 |
Ultralow yields continued throughout the period.
With the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) poised to normalize its interest-rate policy, shorter-term maturities appeared less attractive at the beginning of the reporting period due to a potential backup in short-term yields. However, subdued inflation expectations, due in part to low oil prices, combined with a fragile European economy and softening Chinese economy, implied that longer maturities would outperform. As a result, we positioned the Fund to benefit from a flattening yield curve, which benefited results. The Fund was underweight the front end of the curve in maturities less than 3 years and overweight the 10-year segment. Longer-term maturities
outperformed shorter-term maturities by a wide margin as the municipal curve flattened more than 110 basis points (bps; 100 bps equals 1.00%) between 2- and 10-year maturities. The Fed raised the federal funds target rate in December 2015 but signaled that the pace of further increases would be gradual and data dependent. With the Fed likely on hold for an extended period, we kept the Fund’s duration longer than the index, and this contributed to results.
|
Credit quality as of June 30, 20168 |
|
 |
We kept the Fund overweight A-rated and BBB-rated bonds, which was beneficial as lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds amid strong demand from investors for yield. The Fund’s overweight allocations to the special tax, local general obligation (GO), and appropriation-debt sectors contributed to results. Issue selection detracted from results, however, because the Fund’s holdings in housing and transportation underperformed those in the index.
California benefited from economic growth and strong legal protections for bondholders.
California’s economy continues to improve, becoming the sixth-largest economy in the world in 2015 and
moving ahead of Brazil and France in ranking. The California 2016–2017 state budget was enacted, with $2 billion added to the rainy day fund, leaving the fund just over half its goal of being 10% of revenues. This was the second year in a row that California did not need to issue revenue anticipation notes for cash-flow purposes. California has a strong legal framework for municipal bonds, which we believe may benefit investors by increasing bondholder security. One example of this is legislation that California passed in July 2015 that requires voter-approved local GO bonds to be secured by a statutory lien on all revenues received for the purposes of repaying the principal and interest on the bonds. An important aspect of this legislation is that it clarifies that bondholders are secured by law and can expect to be first in line for repayment should a municipality enter bankruptcy. In addition to improving bondholder protection in the event of a bankruptcy, it contributed to a tightening in credit spreads in the local GO sector.

Rates may be lower for longer, making issue selection even more important.
Near the end of the reporting period, the U.K. voted to withdraw from the European Union, prompting considerable uncertainty about future political situations, financial markets, and economic growth. U.S. Treasuries and municipal bonds rallied significantly on the news, and both 10-year and 30-year municipal yields reached record-low levels. We expect volatility in rates but don’t see any catalyst for materially higher rates or a steeper yield curve in the near term. In terms of Fund positioning, we expect to remain long duration relative to the index and to focus purchases on the steeper part of the yield curve to benefit from the roll down, the natural decline in yields as maturities shorten. We also expect to maintain an overweight to the A-rated and BBB-rated credit tiers. Although we think rates may stay lower for longer, we recognize that an improvement in overseas economies, outflows in mutual funds, or a more hawkish tone from the Fed could lead to a spike in rates. In this record-low interest-rate environment, security selection is even more important as breakeven yields (the sell-off that a bond can endure before the total return drops to zero) decrease.

8 | | Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
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.

Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund | | | 33 | |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
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), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
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.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful
| | | | |
34 | | Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. At June 30, 2016, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:
| | |
Undistributed net investment income | | Accumulated net realized losses on investments |
$5,759 | | $(5,759) |
As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains in the amount of $844,942 with $734,586 expiring in 2018; $110,356 expiring in 2019.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund | | | 35 | |
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016:

The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.40% and declining to 0.28% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.39% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.05% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.80% for Class A shares, 1.55% for Class C shares, 0.60% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.50% for Institutional Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.

Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the year ended June 30, 2016, Funds Distributor received $2,844 from the sale of Class A shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C, and Administrator Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2016 were $161,189,004 and $169,274,132, respectively.
The Fund may purchase or sell investment securities to other Wells Fargo funds under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which generally do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown.
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 Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to September 1, 2015, the revolving credit agreement amount was $150,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.10% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid was $13,668,017 and $14,078,386 of tax-exempt income for the years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.
As of June 30, 2016, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Unrealized gains | | Capital loss carryforward |
$947,238 | | $31,626,457 | | $(844,942) |
8. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or territories of the U.S. Therefore, it may be more affected by economic and political developments in that state or region than would be a comparable general tax-exempt fund.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-25, 2016 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2016, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2016. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe.
| | | | |
42 | | Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was higher than the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than its benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond 1-5 Year Blend Index, for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than,in range of, or equal to the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or in range of the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo and Funds Management profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
| | | | | | |
Other information (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund | | �� | 43 | |
Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) began normalizing monetary policy, raising the federal funds rate to between 0.25% and 0.50% in December 2015. Short-term municipal bond yields rose, but yields on longer-term bonds declined. In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, returned 7.65% during the 12-month reporting period.
Monetary policy was accommodative.
The Fed continued an easy monetary policy in order to support the economy and the financial system. However, it raised the federal funds target rate in December because it believed the U.S. economy was strong enough to begin normalizing monetary policy. The European Central Bank cut all three of its short-term rates during the reporting period, increased its asset-purchase program from 60 billion euros per month to 80 billion, expanded the list of eligible securities to include investment-grade nonbank debt, and created a fund-to-lend program where banks could be paid to lend money. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Despite accommodative central-bank policies that helped keep interest rates at ultra-low levels, there were periods of volatility. Early in 2016, weakness in certain emerging markets economies and commodities hurt riskier assets and a vote in June 2016 by the U.K. to exit the European Union set off another round of global uncertainty. Municipal bonds benefited because they are perceived as a safe-haven asset. In addition, investor demand for yield helped lower-rated debt outperform. The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index2 returned 12.09% during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016.
Strong demand, modest supply, and solid credit fundamentals supported municipals.
Market technicals remained favorable. According to the Investment Company Institute, more than $33 billion was allocated to municipal mutual funds during the first half of 2016, which was more than double the inflows during all of 2015. Further, inflows during the second quarter of 2016 were the largest in nearly seven years. In contrast, less new supply helped make 2015 the fifth calendar year of negative net supply and supply in the first half of 2016 was about 4% less than the same period last year.
Municipal credit quality remained on an uptrend despite a number of high-profile negative credit situations. Idiosyncratic credit risks remain, however. With regard to Puerto Rico, the U.S. enacted legislation that prohibits bondholder lawsuits temporarily and instills a fiscal oversight board for Puerto Rico; Puerto Rico then declared a moratorium on paying its general obligation (GO) bonds and defaulted on $911 million in payments due (most of which were GOs) on July 1, 2016. The state of Illinois approved a six-month stopgap budget, a temporary but meaningful

step. Under this stopgap budget for the state, the city of Chicago receives authority to raise property taxes for teacher pensions and low-income school districts would receive greater state funding. City of Chicago and school district debt rallied on the news.
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 trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appear to have functioned well over the past year with sufficient liquidity.
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,

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 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). The Fund is exposed to California municipal securities risk, high-yield securities risk, and non-diversification risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund outperformed both its benchmarks, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index and the Barclays California Municipal Bond Index, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. |
n | | Security selection was the biggest contributor to the Fund’s outperformance, followed by duration and credit. The Fund’s exposure to the highest-quality segment underperformed that of the index, but its overweight to A-rated and BBB-rated bonds benefited from spread tightening as investors continued their search for income. Additionally, zero-coupon and 4%-coupon bonds were among the best performers during the period. |
n | | Fear of a global economic slowdown and mixed economic data within the U.S. pushed Treasury and municipal yields sharply lower and flattened both curves. |
Ultralow yields continued throughout the period
With the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) poised to normalize its interest-rate policy, shorter-term maturities appeared less attractive at the beginning of the reporting period due to a potential backup in short-term yields. However, subdued inflation expectations, due in part to low oil prices, combined with a fragile European economy and softening Chinese economy, implied that longer maturities would outperform. Therefore, early in the period, we extended the Fund’s duration in anticipation of lower yields and positioned the Fund for a flatter yield curve. The Fund’s yield-curve positioning, which was underweight short-term and intermediate-term maturities and overweight long-term maturities, helped results. Longer-term maturities outperformed shorter-term maturities by a wide margin because the municipal curve flattened almost 150 basis points (bps; 100 bps equals 1.00%) between the 2- and 30-year maturities.
|
Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20167 |
|
 |
The Fed tightened in December 2015 but signaled that the pace of further increases would be gradual. While the Fed was likely to take its time raising rates, U.S. inflation started to trend higher, unemployment remained below 5%, and economic growth was expected to remain at or above 2%. We kept the Fund’s duration longer than the benchmark’s and held more stable structured bonds. In addition to the flight-to-quality trade in Treasuries, municipals were also supported by the combination of strong demand from positive fund flows and lighter new-issue supply. The Fund benefited as 30-year municipals rallied almost 90 bps from the December 2015 Fed tightening until the end of the period.
|
Credit quality as of June 30, 20168 |
|
 |
The Fund’s overweight to bonds rated A and below contributed to results as lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds by a wide margin. The Fund’s overweight to the local general obligation, special tax, and lease revenue sectors performed well. Although the industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue and resource recovery sectors were among the best-performing sectors in the index, our issue selection within those sectors detracted from results. Additionally, we added longer-term, 4%-coupon bonds whose yield added to the income component of the Fund’s total return.

Performance highlights (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund | | | 7 | |
California’s economy continues to improve, becoming the sixth-largest economy in the world in 2015 and moving ahead of Brazil and France in ranking. Higher taxes from Proposition 30 (temporary higher taxes were enacted amid the Great Recession and may be extended in November) and improving fundamentals for many issuers have tightened spreads for both state and local bonds. The Fund does not own any Puerto Rico bonds.
Rates may be lower for longer, making issue selection even more important.
Near the end of the reporting period, the U.K. voted to withdraw from the European Union (E.U.), prompting considerable uncertainty about future political situations, financial markets, and economic growth. U.S. Treasuries and municipal bonds rallied significantly on the news, and both 10-year and 30-year municipal yields reached record-low levels. We expect volatility in rates but don’t see any catalyst for materially higher rates or a steeper yield curve in the near term. Expectations for future federal funds rate increases remain muted and data dependent. Global growth concerns in Europe and uncertainty regarding the effects of the U.K.’s withdrawal from the E.U. will likely keep rates low for some time. In terms of Fund positioning, we expect to remain long duration relative to the index and to focus purchases on the steeper part of the yield curve to benefit from the roll down. We also expect to maintain an overweight to the A-rated and BBB-rated credit tiers. Although we think rates may stay lower for longer, we recognize that an improvement in overseas economies, outflows in mutual funds, or a more hawkish tone from the Fed could lead to a spike in rates. In this record-low interest-rate environment, security selection is even more important as breakeven yields (the sell-off that a bond can endure before the total return drops to zero) decrease.

8 | | Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
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.

28 | | Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a non-diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
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), although a Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
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.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.

Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. At June 30, 2016, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:
| | |
Undistributed net investment income | | Accumulated net realized losses on investments |
$(1,543) | | $1,543 |
Capital loss carryforwards that do not expire are required to be utilized prior to capital loss carryforwards that expire. As of June 30, 2016, capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains were as follows through the indicated expiration dates:
| | |
2018 | | No expiration |
| | Short-term |
$4,667,645 | | $4,375,648 |
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
| | | | |

The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.40% and declining to 0.28% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.39% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Class B, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.75% for Class A shares, 1.50% for Class B shares, 1.50% for Class C shares, 0.55% for Administrator Class, and 0.48% for Institutional Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund | | | 31 | |
Distribution fees
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class B and Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to Class B and Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares.
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 year ended June 30, 2016, Funds Distributor received $33,137 from the sale of Class A shares and $1,784 in contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares.
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 the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2016 were $379,562,717 and $153,405,944, respectively.
The Fund may purchase or sell investment securities to other Wells Fargo funds under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which generally do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown.
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 Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to September 1, 2015, the revolving credit agreement amount was $150,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.10% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund
For the year ended June 30, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid was $29,991,986 and $27,212,446 of exempt-interest income for the years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.
As of June 30, 2016, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Unrealized gains | | Capital loss carryforward |
$623,498 | | $120,956,069 | | $(9,043,293) |
8. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or territories of the U.S. Therefore, it may be more affected by economic and political developments in that state or region than would be a comparable general tax-exempt fund.
| | | | |
32 | | Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of the Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund (formerly known as Wells Fargo Advantage California Tax-Free Fund) (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting the Wells Fargo Funds Trust, as of June 30, 2016, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2016, by correspondence with custodians and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund as of June 30, 2016, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-25, 2016 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2016, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2016. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe.
| | | | |
38 | | Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was higher than or in range of the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than its benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or in range of the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo and Funds Management profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Colorado Tax-Free Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) began normalizing monetary policy, raising the federal funds rate to between 0.25% and 0.50% in December 2015. Short-term municipal bond yields rose, but yields on longer-term bonds declined. In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, returned 7.65% during the 12-month reporting period.
Monetary policy was accommodative.
The Fed continued an easy monetary policy in order to support the economy and the financial system. However, it raised the federal funds target rate in December because it believed the U.S. economy was strong enough to begin normalizing monetary policy. The European Central Bank cut all three of its short-term rates during the reporting period, increased its asset-purchase program from 60 billion euros per month to 80 billion, expanded the list of eligible securities to include investment-grade nonbank debt, and created a fund-to-lend program where banks could be paid to lend money. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Despite accommodative central-bank policies that helped keep interest rates at ultra-low levels, there were periods of volatility. Early in 2016, weakness in certain emerging markets economies and commodities hurt riskier assets and a vote in June 2016 by the U.K. to exit the European Union set off another round of global uncertainty. Municipal bonds benefited because they are perceived as a safe-haven asset. In addition, investor demand for yield helped lower-rated debt outperform. The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index2 returned 12.09% during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016.
Strong demand, modest supply, and solid credit fundamentals supported municipals.
Market technicals remained favorable. According to the Investment Company Institute, more than $33 billion was allocated to municipal mutual funds during the first half of 2016, which was more than double the inflows during all of 2015. Further, inflows during the second quarter of 2016 were the largest in nearly seven years. In contrast, less new supply helped make 2015 the fifth calendar year of negative net supply and supply in the first half of 2016 was about 4% less than the same period last year.
Municipal credit quality remained on an uptrend despite a number of high-profile negative credit situations. Idiosyncratic credit risks remain, however. With regard to Puerto Rico, the U.S. enacted legislation that prohibits bondholder lawsuits temporarily and instills a fiscal oversight board for Puerto Rico; Puerto Rico then declared a moratorium on paying its general obligation (GO) bonds and defaulted

The index allows state and local general obligation, revenue, insured, and prerefunded bonds; however, historically the index has been composed of mostly revenue bonds.

on $911 million in payments due (most of which were GOs) on July 1, 2016. The state of Illinois approved a six-month stopgap budget, a temporary but meaningful step. Under this stopgap budget for the state, the city of Chicago receives authority to raise property taxes for teacher pensions and low-income school districts would receive greater state funding. City of Chicago and school district debt rallied on the news.
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 trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appear to have functioned well over the past year with sufficient liquidity.
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,

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 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. 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 Colorado municipal securities risk, high-yield securities risk, and non-diversification risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The Fund underperformed the Barclays Colorado Municipal Bond Index during the same period. |
n | | The main contributors to performance included security selection, longer duration, yield-curve positioning, and an overweight to BBB-rated bonds. Within security selection, the E-470 Toll Road and Colorado Springs Utility bonds did well. |
n | | Detractors from performance included an underweight to the industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue sector and poor security selection in the hospital sector. |
n | | Benign inflation expectations, global growth concerns, and the shape of the yield curve influenced our decision to extend duration and focus on bond purchases in the steeper portion of the yield curve. This resulted in an overweight to maturities 20 years and longer. |
|
Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20167 |
|
 |
Ultralow yields continued throughout the period.
With the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) poised to normalize its interest-rate policy, shorter-term maturities appeared less attractive at the beginning of the reporting period due to a potential rise in short-term yields. However, subdued inflation expectations, due in part to low oil prices, combined with a fragile European economy and softening Chinese economy, implied that longer maturities would outperform. The Fund’s yield-curve positioning, which was underweight the area less than 10 years and overweight the 20-year and greater area, helped results. Longer-term maturities outperformed shorter-term maturities by a wide
margin because the municipal curve flattened almost 150 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) between the 2- and 30-year maturities.
The Fed tightened in December 2015 but signaled that the pace of further increases would be gradual. While the Fed was likely to take its time raising rates, U.S. inflation started to trend higher, unemployment remained below 5%, and economic growth was expected to remain at or above 2%. With the Fed likely on hold for an extended period and continued benign inflation, we extended the Fund’s duration longer than the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, which contributed to results as yields fell.
|
Credit quality as of June 30, 20168 |
|
 |
Credit-quality allocation helped results.
The Fund’s overweight to A-rated and BBB-rated debt contributed to results because lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds by a wide margin during the period. Sector allocation also contributed to results due to the Fund’s overweight to strong-performing appropriation, education, and special tax sectors. The Fund’s underweight to the industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue sector detracted from results. Finally, issue selection was helped by E-470 Toll Road and Colorado Springs Utility bonds but certain hospital issues held by the Fund lagged.

Performance highlights (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Colorado Tax-Free Fund | | | 7 | |
Colorado felt the effect of weakness in energy but benefited from growth elsewhere.
With its status as seventh in the nation for oil production and ninth for concentration of oil- and gas-related employment, Colorado did experience weaker growth over the period. However, growth in other industries offset the decreases in the oil sector and the unemployment rate trended lower in the state. Migration to the state continued with 2015 marking the state’s largest increase since 2000.
Rates may be lower for longer, making issue selection even more important.
Near the end of the reporting period, the U.K. voted to withdraw from the European Union, prompting considerable uncertainty about future political situations, financial markets, and economic growth. U.S. Treasuries and municipal bonds rallied significantly on the news, and both 10-year and 30-year municipal yields reached record-low levels. We expect volatility in rates but don’t see any catalyst for materially higher rates or a steeper yield curve in the near term. Strong demand for municipals from both U.S. and global investors in search of yield alongside favorable supply/demand factors may continue to support the municipal market. In terms of Fund positioning, we expect to remain long duration relative to the Barclays Municipal Bond Index and to focus our purchases on the steeper part of the yield curve to benefit from the roll down, or the natural decline in yields as maturities shorten. We also expect to maintain an overweight to the A-rated and BBB-rated credit tiers. Although we think rates may stay lower for longer, we recognize that an improvement in overseas economies, outflows in mutual funds, or a more hawkish tone from the Fed could lead to a spike in rates. In this record-low interest-rate environment, security selection is even more important as breakeven yields (the sell-off that a bond can endure before the total return drops to zero) decrease.

8 | | Wells Fargo Colorado Tax-Free Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
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.

Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Colorado Tax-Free Fund | | | 19 | |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Colorado Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a non-diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
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), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
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.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.

Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Capital loss carryforwards that do not expire are required to be utilized prior to capital loss carryforwards that expire. As of June 30, 2016, capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains were as follows through the indicated expiration dates:
| | | | |
| | | | No expiration |
2018 | | 2019 | | Short-term |
$548,785 | | $57,793 | | $829,427 |
As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had current year deferred post-October capital losses consisting of $37,285 in long-term losses which will be recognized on the first day of the following fiscal year.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
| | | | | | |

The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.40% and declining to 0.28% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class level administration fee | |
Class A, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 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 Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.85% for Class A shares, 1.60% for Class C shares, and 0.60% for Administrator Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
| | | | |
22 | | Wells Fargo Colorado Tax-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the year ended June 30, 2016, Funds Distributor received $11,949 from the sale of Class A shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C, and Administrator Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2016 were $40,504,987 and $12,367,858, respectively.
The Fund may purchase or sell investment securities to other Wells Fargo funds under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which generally do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown.
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 Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to September 1, 2015, the revolving credit agreement amount was $150,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.10% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid was $3,085,095 and $2,765,609 of exempt-interest income for the years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.
As of June 30, 2016, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Unrealized gains | | Post-October capital losses
deferred
| | Capital loss carryforward |
$407,204 | | $10,250,034 | | $(37,285) | | $(1,436,005) |
8. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or territories of the U.S. Therefore, it may be more affected by economic and political developments in that state or region than would be a comparable general tax-exempt fund.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-25, 2016 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Colorado Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2016, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2016. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe.
| | | | |
28 | | Wells Fargo Colorado Tax-Free Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was higher than the average performance of the Universe for all periods under reviewexcept the ten-year period under review. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than its benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were in range of or equal to the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo and Funds Management profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) began normalizing monetary policy, raising the federal funds rate to between 0.25% and 0.50% in December 2015. Short-term municipal bond yields rose, but yields on longer-term bonds declined. In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, returned 7.65% during the 12-month reporting period.
Monetary policy was accommodative.
The Fed continued an easy monetary policy in order to support the economy and the financial system. However, it raised the federal funds target rate in December because it believed the U.S. economy was strong enough to begin normalizing monetary policy. The European Central Bank cut all three of its short-term rates during the reporting period, increased its asset-purchase program from 60 billion euros per month to 80 billion, expanded the list of eligible securities to include investment-grade nonbank debt, and created a fund-to-lend program where banks could be paid to lend money. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Despite accommodative central-bank policies that helped keep interest rates at ultra-low levels, there were periods of volatility. Early in 2016, weakness in certain emerging markets economies and commodities hurt riskier assets and a vote in June 2016 by the U.K. to exit the European Union set off another round of global uncertainty. Municipal bonds benefited because they are perceived as a safe-haven asset. In addition, investor demand for yield helped lower-rated debt outperform. The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index2 returned 12.09% during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016.
Strong demand, modest supply, and solid credit fundamentals supported municipals.
Market technicals remained favorable. According to the Investment Company Institute, more than $33 billion was allocated to municipal mutual funds during the first half of 2016, which was more than double the inflows during all of 2015. Further, inflows during the second quarter of 2016 were the largest in nearly seven years. In contrast, less new supply helped make 2015 the fifth calendar year of negative net supply and supply in the first half of 2016 was about 4% less than the same period last year.
Municipal credit quality remained on an uptrend despite a number of high-profile negative credit situations. Idiosyncratic credit risks remain, however. With regard to Puerto Rico, the U.S. enacted legislation that prohibits bondholder lawsuits temporarily and instills a fiscal oversight board for Puerto Rico; Puerto Rico then declared a moratorium on paying its general obligation (GO) bonds and defaulted on $911 million in payments due (most of which were GOs) on July 1, 2016. The

state of Illinois approved a six-month stopgap budget, a temporary but meaningful step. Under this stopgap budget for the state, the city of Chicago receives authority to raise property taxes for teacher pensions and low-income school districts would receive greater state funding. City of Chicago and school district debt rallied on the news.
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 trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appear to have functioned well over the past year with sufficient liquidity.
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,

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 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 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. High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. 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 municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The Fund, however, underperformed the Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index over that same period. |
n | | Investors continued their search for income in this low-yield environment, which caused lower-quality bonds to perform very well. The Fund’s overweight to A-rated, BBB-rated, and out-of-benchmark below-investment-grade debt was the biggest contributor to excess returns. |
n | | The Fund began the period with a duration that was longer than the benchmark. As rates rallied, we slowly reduced its duration and are now positioned for higher rates. We also began reducing the Fund’s bias for a flatter yield curve in the second quarter of 2016 given the amount of flattening that had already occurred. |
n | | Issue selection within the special tax, education, health care, and transportation sectors contributed to results, while corporate-backed and resource recovery holdings detracted. Our largest state overweight was to Illinois debt, and it was one of the best-performing states despite its prolonged budgetary crisis. |
|
Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20166 |
|
 |
Ultralow yields continued throughout the period.
With the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) poised to normalize its interest-rate policy, shorter-term maturities between one and five years appeared less attractive at the beginning of the reporting period due to the potential for them to rise. However, subdued inflation expectations, due in part to low oil prices, combined with a fragile European economy and softening Chinese economy, implied that longer maturities would outperform. We, therefore, extended the Fund’s duration in anticipation of lower yields and also positioned the Fund for a flatter yield curve. The Fund’s yield-curve positioning, which was underweight maturities between 1 and 7 years
and overweight the 10-year area, helped results. Longer-term maturities outperformed shorter-term maturities by a wide margin because the municipal curve flattened almost 150 basis points (bps; 100 bps equals 1.00%) between the 1- and 30-year maturities.
The Fed tightened in December 2015 but signaled that the pace of further increases would be gradual. While the Fed was likely to take its time raising rates, U.S. inflation started to trend higher, unemployment remained below 5%, and economic growth was expected to remain at or above 2%. We initially kept the Fund’s duration long but started to reduce it as the market rallied. The Fund’s short duration positioning hurt relative performance during the second half of the reporting period as U.S. rates continued to move lower in sympathy with declining global interest rates.

Credit quality as of June 30, 20167 |
|
 |
Credit-quality allocation helped results.
The Fund’s overweight to BBB-rated debt and its holdings in high-yield and nonrated debt contributed to results because lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds by a wide margin. The Fund’s holdings within the special tax, education, and transportation sectors performed well. Notably, within the education sector, smaller private universities outperformed. On the other hand, issue selection within resource recovery and corporate-backed sectors detracted from results. While we have been cautious about the health care sector because we believe credit fundamentals have peaked, the Fund’s lower-rated health care issues contributed to performance. Although taxable corporate bond spreads
increased dramatically during late 2015 and early 2016 as global fears spooked the market, spreads for corporate-backed municipal debt declined. We sold into this rally, but continued new-money flows into high-yield and longer-term municipal bonds funds caused these spreads to move even tighter. Issue selection within Illinois, Colorado, and Michigan added to results. Regarding sector allocations, we reduced exposure to Illinois debt, added New York debt, and increased exposure to senior care
Political noise and a lack of a state budget caused volatility within Illinois, but the state’s bonds had some of the highest returns. We have been overweight Illinois bonds since the Fund’s inception because we feel that the above-market income is compensating investors for the credit issues. We continue to believe that the state’s economic backdrop and ability to raise revenues, combined with Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner’s focus on cutting expenses, should ultimately lead to tighter spreads. During the past 12 months, Puerto Rico had several widely anticipated defaults on its debt. The lack of clarity surrounding the federal government’s restructuring legislation for Puerto Rico debt, the lack of financial statements, and a declining economy make it very hard to develop an investment opinion for the territory. As a result, we had minimal exposure to Puerto Rico bonds. Finally, the Fund ended the year with no exposure to tobacco bonds. While the sector continued to outperform, recent developments highlighted longer-term risks within the sector. Fitch recently withdrew its credit ratings on all tobacco issues, citing the problematic modeling of revenues going forward.
Rates may be lower for longer, making credit allocation and issue selection even more important.
Near the end of the reporting period, the U.K. voted to withdraw from the European Union, prompting considerable uncertainty about future political situations, financial markets, and economic growth. U.S. Treasuries and municipal bonds rallied significantly on the news, and both 10-year and 30-year municipal yields reached record-low levels. Although we think rates may stay lower for longer, we recognize that an improvement in overseas economies, outflows in mutual funds, or a more hawkish tone from the Fed could lead to a spike in rates. In the (we would hope unlikely) event of a materially weaker U.S. economy, that could be the catalyst for us to increase our duration exposure and reduce our credit exposure. In this record-low interest-rate environment, security selection is even more important as breakeven yields (the sell-off that a bond can endure before the total return drops to zero) decrease.

8 | | Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
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.

Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund | | | 25 | |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
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), although a Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
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 Fund’s Valuation Procedures.
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 Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (��Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Security loans
The Fund may lend its 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 Fund continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The Fund receives 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 Fund on the next business day. In a securities lending transaction, the net asset value of the Fund 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 Fund fluctuates from time to time. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the borrower, the Fund may be prevented from recovering the loaned securities or gaining access to the collateral or
| | | | |
26 | | Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
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 Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
The Fund lends its 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”), an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”). 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 Statement of Operations.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Futures contracts
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund | | | 27 | |
Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

Total assets | | $ | 333,375 | | | $ | 141,336,920 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 141,670,295 | |
Futures contracts are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to the Fund at that date. All other assets and liabilities are reported at their market value at measurement date.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1 or Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds
| | | | |
28 | | Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.50% and declining to 0.38% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. WellsCap is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.35% and declining to 0.20% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.85% for Class A shares, 1.60% for Class C shares, 0.75% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.60% for Institutional Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the year ended June 30, 2016, Funds Distributor received $5,591 from the sale of Class A shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C, and Administrator Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2016 were $72,132,384 and $65,711,558, respectively.
The Fund may purchase or sell investment securities to other Wells Fargo funds under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which generally do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown.
6. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into futures contracts to take advantage of the differences between municipal and treasury yields and to help manage the duration of the portfolio.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund | | | 29 | |
At June 30, 2016, the Fund had short futures contracts outstanding as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Expiration date | | Counterparty | | Contracts | | Type | | | Contract value at June 30, 2016 | | | Unrealized losses | |
9-21-2016 | | JPMorgan | | 10 Short | | | U.S. Treasury Bonds | | | $ | 1,723,438 | | | $ | (101,349 | ) |
The Fund had an average notional amount of $471,414 in futures contracts during the year ended June 30, 2016.
On June 30, 2016, the cumulative unrealized losses on futures contracts in the amount of $101,349 are reflected in net unrealized gains on investments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The receivable for daily variation margin on open futures contracts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities only represents the current day’s variation margin. The realized losses and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are reflected in the Statement of Operations.
For certain types of derivative transactions, the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, if any, are reported separately in the Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | | Collateral received | | | Net amount of assets | |
Futures – variation margin | | JPMorgan | | $6,563 | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 6,563 | |
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 the Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to September 1, 2015, the revolving credit agreement amount was $150,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.10% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
8. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended June 30 | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |

As of June 30, 2016, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Undistributed long-term gain | | Unrealized gains |
$324,047 | | $55,678 | | $537,092 | | $6,805,136 |
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-25, 2016 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2016, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2016. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance
| | | | |
36 | | Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
Universe. The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was higher than the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than its benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or equal to the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or in range of the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo and Funds Management profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) began normalizing monetary policy, raising the federal funds rate to between 0.25% and 0.50% in December 2015. Short-term municipal bond yields rose, but yields on longer-term bonds declined. In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, returned 7.65% during the 12-month reporting period.
Monetary policy was accommodative.
The Fed continued an easy monetary policy in order to support the economy and the financial system. However, it raised the federal funds target rate in December because it believed the U.S. economy was strong enough to begin normalizing monetary policy. The European Central Bank cut all three of its short-term rates during the reporting period, increased its asset-purchase program from 60 billion euros per month to 80 billion, expanded the list of eligible securities to include investment-grade nonbank debt, and created a fund-to-lend program where banks could be paid to lend money. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Despite accommodative central-bank policies that helped keep interest rates at ultra-low levels, there were periods of volatility. Early in 2016, weakness in certain emerging markets economies and commodities hurt riskier assets and a vote in June 2016 by the U.K. to exit the European Union set off another round of global uncertainty. Municipal bonds benefited because they are perceived as a safe-haven asset. In addition, investor demand for yield helped lower-rated debt outperform. The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index2 returned 12.09% during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016.
Strong demand, modest supply, and solid credit fundamentals supported municipals.
Market technicals remained favorable. According to the Investment Company Institute, more than $33 billion was allocated to municipal mutual funds during the first half of 2016, which was more than double the inflows during all of 2015. Further, inflows during the second quarter of 2016 were the largest in nearly seven years. In contrast, less new supply helped make 2015 the fifth calendar year of negative net supply and supply in the first half of 2016 was about 4% less than the same period last year.
Municipal credit quality remained on an uptrend despite a number of high-profile negative credit situations. Idiosyncratic credit risks remain, however. With regard to Puerto Rico, the U.S. enacted legislation that prohibits bondholder lawsuits temporarily and instills a fiscal oversight board for Puerto Rico; Puerto Rico then declared a moratorium on paying its general obligation (GO) bonds and defaulted on $911 million in payments due (most of which were GOs) on July 1, 2016. The

The index allows state and local general obligation, revenue, insured, and prerefunded bonds; however, historically the index has been composed of mostly revenue bonds.

state of Illinois approved a six-month stopgap budget, a temporary but meaningful step. Under this stopgap budget for the state, the city of Chicago receives authority to raise property taxes for teacher pensions and low-income school districts would receive greater state funding. City of Chicago and school district debt rallied on the news.
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 trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appear to have functioned well over the past year with sufficient liquidity.
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,

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 3.00%. 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 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. High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. 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 municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

Growth of $10,000 investment as of June 30, 20165 |
|
 |
1 | Historical performance shown for Class A shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the former Investor Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to the former Investor Class shares (except during those periods in which expenses of Class A shares would have been higher than those of the former Investor Class shares, no such adjustment is reflected). Historical performance shown for Class C shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the former Investor Class shares, adjusted to reflect the higher expenses applicable to Class C shares. Historical performance shown for Administrator Class and Institutional Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Class A shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to Class A shares. If these expenses had not been included, returns would be higher. |
2 | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through October 31, 2016, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at the amount 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 expense cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. |
4 | The Barclays Municipal Bond 1–15 Year Blend Index is the 1–15 Year Blend component of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index composed of tax-exempt bonds with maturities between six and eight years and a minimum credit rating of Baa. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
5 | The chart compares the performance of Class A shares for the most recent ten years with the Barclays Municipal Bond 1–15 Year Blend Index. The chart assumes a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Class A shares and reflects all operating expenses and assumes the maximum initial sales charge of 3.00%. |
6 | The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and/or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the Fund’s portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the total market value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. If a security was rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by two of three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond 1–15 Year Blend Index, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. |
n | | The Fund was short duration compared with the benchmark, which detracted from results as the market rallied. |
n | | Investors’ search for income, which favored higher yielding, lower-quality bonds in this low-yield environment, caused lower-quality bonds to perform very well. Consequently, the Fund’s overweight to A-rated, BBB-rated, and out-of-benchmark below-investment-grade debt was the biggest contributor to returns. |
n | | Sector and issue selection also contributed to performance. Our overweight to the essential service revenue bonds and local general obligation (GO) bonds was positive as these sectors outperformed. Our largest state overweight continues to be to Illinois, and it was one of the best-performing states. |
Ultralow-yields continued throughout the period.
With the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) poised to normalize its interest-rate policy, shorter-term maturities appeared less attractive at the beginning of the reporting period due to a potential for higher short-term yields. Subdued inflation expectations, due in part to low oil prices, combined with a fragile European economy and softening Chinese economy, implied that longer maturities would outperform. We, therefore, positioned the Fund for a flatter yield curve. While we owned bonds across the curve, the Fund had a concentration of positions in bonds with 20 years or more to maturity and in securities with less than 1 year to maturity. Overall, the Fund benefited from its flattening bias, with the longer-dated securities performing well. However, our allocation to the very short end of the yield curve somewhat muted performance.
The Fed tightened in December 2015 but signaled that the pace of further increases would be gradual. We began the period short duration relative to the benchmark, but with the Fed likely on hold for an extended period, we extended duration to near neutral. Less-than-benchmark duration hurt relative performance, especially during the second half of the period as U.S. rates continued to move lower in sympathy with declining global interest rates.

Credit quality as of June 30, 20166 |
|
 |
Credit-quality allocation helped results.
The Fund’s overweight to A-rated and BBB-rated debt and its out-of-benchmark holdings in high-yield and nonrated debt contributed to results because lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds by a wide margin during the period. The Fund’s holdings within the local GO, electric, transportation, water and sewer, leasing, and special tax sectors performed well. On the other hand, the health care and industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue (corporate-backed municipals) sectors within the index performed well, but our issue selection within those sectors lagged, largely because of their shorter duration profile. We have been
cautious within the health care sector for quite some time because we believe credit fundamentals have peaked. Our largest state overweight continues to be to Illinois, and it was one of the best-performing states. Issue selection within Illinois, California, and Michigan contributed to results, while issue selection within New Jersey detracted from results, even though the state did well. Although taxable corporate bond spreads increased dramatically during late 2015 and early 2016 as global fears spooked the market, spreads for corporate-backed municipal debt declined. We sold into this rally, but continued new-money flows into high-yield and longer-term municipal bond funds caused these spreads to move even tighter.
Political noise and a lack of a state budget caused volatility within Illinois, but the state’s bonds had some of the highest returns. We have been overweight Illinois bonds for several years because we feel that the above-market income is compensating investors for the credit issues. We continue to believe that the state’s economic backdrop and ability to raise revenues, combined with Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner’s focus on cutting expenses, should ultimately lead to

tighter spreads. New Jersey bonds also performed well as spreads tightened; however, issue selection within the state detracted from results, primarily due to our exposure to longer-dated floating-rate notes that repriced to reflect a protracted rate-hike cycle. During the past 12 months, Puerto Rico had several widely anticipated defaults on its debt. The lack of clarity surrounding the federal government’s restructuring legislation for Puerto Rico debt, the lack of financial statements, and a declining economy make it very hard to develop an investment opinion for the territory. As a result, we continue to have minimal exposure to Puerto Rico bonds.

Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20167 |
|

Rates may be lower for longer, making credit allocation and issue selection even more important.
Near the end of the reporting period, the U.K. voted to withdraw from the European Union, prompting considerable uncertainty about future political situations, financial markets, and economic growth. U.S. Treasuries and municipal bonds rallied significantly on the news, and both 10-year and 30-year municipal yields reached record-low levels. Although we think rates may stay lower for longer, we recognize that an improvement in overseas economies, outflows in mutual funds, or a more hawkish tone from the Fed could lead to a spike in rates. In the (we would hope unlikely) event of a materially weaker U.S. economy, that could be the catalyst for us to increase our duration exposure and reduce our credit exposure. In this record-low interest-rate environment, security selection is even more important as breakeven yields (the sell-off that a bond can endure before the total return drops to zero) decrease.

8 | | Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
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 Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
Effective at the close of business on October 23, 2015, Investor Class shares became Class A shares in a tax-free conversion. Shareholders of Investor Class 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 the Fund.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Futures that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund | | | 23 | |
Futures contracts
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
| | | | |
24 | | Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs

Total Liabilities | | $ | 38,081 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 38,081 | |
Futures contracts are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due from the Fund at that date. All other assets and liabilities are reported at their market value at measurement date.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1. The Fund had no material transfers between Level 2 and Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.40% and declining to 0.28% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.37% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is subadviser to the Fund 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 the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Investor Class | | | 0.19 | |
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund | | | 25 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.70% for Class A shares, 1.45% for Class C shares, 0.60% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.45% for Institutional Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Prior to November 1, 2015, the Fund’s expenses were capped at 0.42% for Institutional Class shares.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of 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 Class C shares. For the year ended June 30, 2016, Funds Distributor received $15,906 from the sale of Class A shares and $500 in contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C share.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C, Administrator Class, and Investor Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2016 were $787,876,437 and $293,412,851, respectively.
The Fund may purchase or sell investment securities to other Wells Fargo funds under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which generally do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown.
6. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into futures contracts to take advantage of the differences between municipal and treasury yields and to help manage the duration of the Fund.
At June 30, 2016, the Fund had short futures contracts outstanding as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Expiration date | | Counterparty | | Contracts | | Type | | Contract value at June 30, 2016 | | | Unrealized gains | |
9-30-2016 | | JPMorgan | | 625 Short | | 5-Year U.S. Treasury Notes | | $ | 76,352,539 | | | $ | 39,009 | |
The Fund had an average notional amount of $734,722 in short futures contracts during the year ended June 30, 2016.
On June 30, 2016, the cumulative unrealized gains on futures contracts in the amount of $39,009 are reflected in net unrealized gains on investments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The payable for daily variation margin on open futures contracts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities only represents the current day’s variation margin. The change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are reflected in the Statement of Operations.
For certain types of derivative transactions, the Fund 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 Fund 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
| | | | |
26 | | Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded derivatives. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, if any, are reported separately in the Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | | Collateral pledged1 | | | Net amount of liabilities | |
Futures – variation margin | | JPMorgan | | $38,081 | | $ | 0 | | | $ | (38,081 | ) | | $ | 0 | |
| 1 | Collateral pledged within this table is limited to the collateral for the net transaction with the counterparty. | |
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 the Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to September 1, 2015, the revolving credit agreement amount was $150,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.10% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.

Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Undistributed long-term gain | | Unrealized gains |
$1,257,535 | | $2,015,768 | | $151,915,576 |
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-25, 2016 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund (the “Fund”):(i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2016, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2016. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe.
| | | | |
32 | | Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was higher than or in range of the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than or in range of its benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond 1-15 Year Blend Index, for all periods under review except the one-year period.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or in range of the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo and Funds Management profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

Other information (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund | | | 33 | |
Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other Benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) began normalizing monetary policy, raising the federal funds rate to between 0.25% and 0.50% in December 2015. Short-term municipal bond yields rose, but yields on longer-term bonds declined. In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, returned 7.65% during the 12-month reporting period.
Monetary policy was accommodative.
The Fed continued an easy monetary policy in order to support the economy and the financial system. However, it raised the federal funds target rate in December because it believed the U.S. economy was strong enough to begin normalizing monetary policy. The European Central Bank cut all three of its short-term rates during the reporting period, increased its asset-purchase program from 60 billion euros per month to 80 billion, expanded the list of eligible securities to include investment-grade nonbank debt, and created a fund-to-lend program where banks could be paid to lend money. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Despite accommodative central-bank policies that helped keep interest rates at ultra-low levels, there were periods of volatility. Early in 2016, weakness in certain emerging markets economies and commodities hurt riskier assets and a vote in June 2016 by the U.K. to exit the European Union set off another round of global uncertainty. Municipal bonds benefited because they are perceived as a safe-haven asset. In addition, investor demand for yield helped lower-rated debt outperform. The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index2 returned 12.09% during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016.
Strong demand, modest supply, and solid credit fundamentals supported municipals.
Market technicals remained favorable. According to the Investment Company Institute, more than $33 billion was allocated to municipal mutual funds during the first half of 2016, which was more than double the inflows during all of 2015. Further, inflows during the second quarter of 2016 were the largest in nearly seven years. In contrast, less new supply helped make 2015 the fifth calendar year of negative net supply and supply in the first half of 2016 was about 4% less than the same period last year.
Municipal credit quality remained on an uptrend despite a number of high-profile negative credit situations. Idiosyncratic credit risks remain, however. With regard to Puerto Rico, the U.S. enacted legislation that prohibits bondholder lawsuits temporarily and instills a fiscal oversight board for Puerto Rico; Puerto Rico then declared a moratorium on paying its general obligation (GO) bonds and defaulted on $911 million in payments due (most of which were GOs) on July 1, 2016. The

The index allows state and local general obligation, revenue, insured, and prerefunded bonds; however, historically the index has been composed of mostly revenue bonds.

state of Illinois approved a six-month stopgap budget, a temporary but meaningful step. Under this stopgap budget for the state, the city of Chicago receives authority to raise property taxes for teacher pensions and low-income school districts would receive greater state funding. City of Chicago and school district debt rallied on the news.
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 trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appear to have functioned well over the past year with sufficient liquidity.
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,

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 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. 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 Minnesota municipal securities risk and high-yield securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

4 | The Barclays Minnesota Municipal Bond Index is the Minnesota component of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
5 | The chart compares the performance of Class A shares for the most recent ten years with the Barclays Municipal Bond Index and the Barclays Minnesota Municipal Bond Index. The chart assumes a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Class A shares and reflects all operating expenses and assumes the maximum initial sales charge of 4.50%. |
6 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
7 | The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and/or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the Fund’s portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the total market value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. If a security was rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by two of three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund underperformed both its benchmarks, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index and the Barclays Minnesota Municipal Bond Index, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. |
n | | While we opportunistically extended the Fund’s duration when opportunities presented themselves, the Fund remained short duration and underweight the long end of the curve during the entire reporting period. This detracted from performance as rates moved lower and the curve flattened. |
n | | The Fund was overweight lower-rated investment-grade bonds (A-rated and BBB-rated), which outperformed higher-rated credit tiers (AAA-rated and AA-rated) and contributed to performance. |
n | | Sector allocation contributed to performance because we were overweight outperforming revenue bonds and underweight general obligation (GO) and prerefunded bonds. |
Ultralow yields continued throughout the period.
With the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) poised to normalize its interest-rate policy, shorter-term maturities appeared less attractive at the beginning of the reporting period due to a potential backup in short-term yields. However, subdued inflation expectations, due in part to low oil prices, combined with a fragile European economy and softening Chinese economy, implied that longer maturities would outperform. The Fed tightened in December 2015 but signaled that the pace of further increases would be gradual. While the Fed was likely to take its time raising rates, U.S. inflation started to trend higher, unemployment remained below 5%, and economic growth was expected to remain at or above 2%.

 |
With the Fed likely on hold for an extended period, we initially purchased some longer-dated, national municipal securities to extend the Fund’s duration but later allowed duration to shorten as the market rallied and U.S. inflation measures started to move higher. Our below-benchmark duration exposure hurt relative performance during the period as U.S. interest rates continued to move lower in sympathy with declining global interest rates.
Credit-quality allocation helped results.
The Fund’s overweight to A-rated and BBB-rated debt and its holdings in high-yield and nonrated debt contributed to results because lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds by a wide margin during the period. Its exposure to lower-quality Minnesota health care issuers and a local charter school were some of our best-performing issues. Other issues that performed well included longer-dated, double-exempt Minnesota municipal securities and several national issues we purchased, such as city of Chicago GO bonds and Chicago Board of Education bonds. While the national municipal debt did not generate state-exempt income, it produced some of the Fund’s highest total returns. We sold some of these national names as we found opportunities to reinvest in double-exempt issues, such as the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Performance highlights (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund | | | 7 | |
Minnesota’s financial position was supported by its strong economy, stable debt and pension liabilities, and recent tax reform. The state’s economy is characterized by low unemployment, diversity in the employer base, and above-average income levels. Economic expansion and the implementation of a new tax bracket for the highest earners resulted in increased income-tax collections and allowed the state to operate with a balanced budget. The improved revenue collections have also allowed the state to build reserves and pay down deferred liabilities to local governments. The paydown of deferred liabilities has directly improved the liquidity position of school districts throughout the state. Looking ahead, low commodity prices and a strong dollar are expected to pressure Minnesota’s mining and manufacturing sectors, potentially dampening the state’s economy expansion. The municipal market within Minnesota is dominated by the state GOs and the health care sector. Health care debt has performed well because of the state’s election to participate in Medicaid expansion as well as the additional income the sector offered. At the end of the reporting period, the state of Minnesota credit ratings were Aa1/AA+/AA+ by Moody’s Investors Service, Incorporated; Standard & Poor’s; and Fitch, respectively. Citing a reduction in deferred liabilities and improved structural balance, Standard & Poor’s assigned a positive outlook to the state’s rating in mid-to-late 2015.
With the economy continuing to improve and the Fed wanting to normalize monetary policy but concerned with overall global growth and interest rates, we are monitoring macroeconomic trends and municipal-specific events for tactical opportunities. We expect the process of interest-rate increases will be slower than past cycles. If economic growth continues to accelerate and global markets remain constant, we expect the Fed could raise its target rate in early 2017. As a result, we anticipate having a more neutral duration compared with the Barclays Minnesota Municipal Bond Index and being overweight medium- and lower-quality bonds.

8 | | Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
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.

Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund | | | 21 | |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
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), although a Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
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 Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.

22 | | Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The primary permanent difference causing such reclassification is due to market discount. At June 30, 2016, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:
| | |
Undistributed net investment income | | Accumulated net realized gains on investments |
$51,329 | | $(51,329) |
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
| | | | | | |

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |
Assets | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | |
Municipal obligations | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 178,653,669 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 178,653,669 | |
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1. The Fund had no material transfers between Level 2 and Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.40% and declining to 0.28% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 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 Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.85% for Class A shares, 1.60% for Class C shares, and 0.60 for Administrator Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
| | | | |
24 | | Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the year ended June 30, 2016, Funds Distributor received $4,408 from the sale of Class A shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C, and Administrator Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2016 were $41,427,030 and $27,198,046, respectively.
The Fund may purchase or sell investment securities to other Wells Fargo funds under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which generally do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown.
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 Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to September 1, 2015, the revolving credit agreement amount was $150,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.10% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund
For the year ended June 30, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended June 30 | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 13,326 | | | $ | 130,687 | |
Tax-exempt income | | | 5,318,450 | | | | 5,061,230 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 45,242 | | | | 355,869 | |
As of June 30, 2016, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Undistributed long-term gain | | Unrealized gains |
$717,631 | | $230,722 | | $11,268,578 |
8. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or territories of the U.S. Therefore, it may be more affected by economic and political developments in that state or region than would be a comparable general tax-exempt fund.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-25, 2016 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2016, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2016. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe.
| | | | |
30 | | Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was higher than or in range of the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was lower than its benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were in range of or equal to the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or equal to the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo and Funds Management profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) began normalizing monetary policy, raising the federal funds rate to between 0.25% and 0.50% in December 2015. Short-term municipal bond yields rose, but yields on longer-term bonds declined. In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, returned 7.65% during the 12-month reporting period.
Monetary policy was accommodative.
The Fed continued an easy monetary policy in order to support the economy and the financial system. However, it raised the federal funds target rate in December because it believed the U.S. economy was strong enough to begin normalizing monetary policy. The European Central Bank cut all three of its short-term rates during the reporting period, increased its asset-purchase program from 60 billion euros per month to 80 billion, expanded the list of eligible securities to include investment-grade nonbank debt, and created a fund-to-lend program where banks could be paid to lend money. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Despite accommodative central-bank policies that helped keep interest rates at ultra-low levels, there were periods of volatility. Early in 2016, weakness in certain emerging markets economies and commodities hurt riskier assets and a vote in June 2016 by the U.K. to exit the European Union set off another round of global uncertainty. Municipal bonds benefited because they are perceived as a safe-haven asset. In addition, investor demand for yield helped lower-rated debt outperform. The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index2 returned 12.09% during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016.
Strong demand, modest supply, and solid credit fundamentals supported municipals.
Market technicals remained favorable. According to the Investment Company Institute, more than $33 billion was allocated to municipal mutual funds during the first half of 2016, which was more than double the inflows during all of 2015. Further, inflows during the second quarter of 2016 were the largest in nearly seven years. In contrast, less new supply helped make 2015 the fifth calendar year of negative net supply and supply in the first half of 2016 was about 4% less than the same period last year.
Municipal credit quality remained on an uptrend despite a number of high-profile negative credit situations. Idiosyncratic credit risks remain, however. With regard to Puerto Rico, the U.S. enacted legislation that prohibits bondholder lawsuits temporarily and instills a fiscal oversight board for Puerto Rico; Puerto Rico then declared a moratorium on paying its general obligation (GO) bonds and defaulted
1 | The Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index composed of long-term tax-exempt bonds with a minimum credit rating of Baa. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
2 | The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index measures the non-investment-grade and nonrated U.S. dollar–denominated, fixed-rate, tax-exempt bond market within the 50 United States and four other qualifying regions (Washington, D.C.; Puerto Rico; Guam; and the Virgin Islands). The index allows state and local general obligation, revenue, insured, and prerefunded bonds; however, historically the index has been composed of mostly revenue bonds.

on $911 million in payments due (most of which were GOs) on July 1, 2016. The state of Illinois approved a six-month stopgap budget, a temporary but meaningful step. Under this stopgap budget for the state, the city of Chicago receives authority to raise property taxes for teacher pensions and low-income school districts would receive greater state funding. City of Chicago and school district debt rallied on the news.
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 trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appear to have functioned well over the past year with sufficient liquidity.
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,

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 and Institutional shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest-rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to high-yield securities risk and municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund (Class A, excluding sales charges) outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. |
n | | Investors continued their search for income in this low-yield environment, which caused lower-quality bonds to perform very well. The Fund’s overweight to A-rated, BBB-rated, and out-of-benchmark below-investment-grade debt was the biggest contributor to excess returns. |
n | | The Fund began the period with a duration that was longer than the benchmark. As rates rallied, we slowly reduced its duration and are now positioned for higher rates. We also began reducing the Fund’s bias for a flatter yield curve in the second quarter of 2016 given the amount of flattening that had already occurred. |
n | | The Fund’s exposure to local general obligation (GO), education, special tax, and transportation issues did well, while corporate-backed and health care holdings didn’t perform as well. Our largest state overweight continues to be to Illinois, and it was one of the best-performing states. |
Ultralow yields continued throughout the period.
With the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) poised to normalize its interest-rate policy, shorter-term maturities appeared less attractive at the beginning of the reporting period due to a potential backup in short-term yields. However, subdued inflation expectations, due in part to low oil prices, combined with a fragile European economy and softening Chinese economy, implied that longer maturities would outperform. We, therefore, extended the Fund’s duration in anticipation of lower yields and also positioned the Fund for a flatter yield curve. The Fund’s yield-curve positioning, which was underweight maturities between 1 and 7 years and overweight the 10-year area, helped results. Longer-term maturities outperformed shorter-term maturities by a wide margin because the municipal curve flattened almost 150 basis points (bps; 100 bps equals 1.00%) between the 1- and 30-year maturities. The Fund also held variable-rate demand notes, which provided liquidity but weighed on results.
The Fed tightened in December 2015 but signaled that the pace of further increases would be gradual. While the Fed was likely to take its time raising rates, U.S. inflation started to trend higher, unemployment remained below 5%, and economic growth was expected to remain at or above 2%, and we reduced duration as the market rallied. The Fund’s short duration hurt results in the second half of the reporting period because yields continued to decline.
|
Credit quality as of June 30, 20166 |
|
 |
Credit-quality allocation helped results.
The Fund’s overweight to A-rated and BBB-rated debt and its out-of-benchmark holdings in high-yield and nonrated debt contributed to results because lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds by a wide margin during the period. The Fund’s holdings within the local GO, special tax, education, and transportation sectors performed well. On the other hand, issue selection within the health care and corporate-backed sectors detracted from results, largely because of their shorter duration profile. We have been cautious within the health care sector for quite some time because we believe credit fundamentals have peaked. Although taxable corporate bond spreads increased dramatically during late 2015 and early 2016 as global fears spooked the market, spreads for corporate-backed municipal debt declined. We sold into this rally, but continued new-money flows into high-yield and longer-term municipal bond funds caused these spreads to move even tighter.
Please see footnotes on page 5.
| | | | | | |
Performance highlights (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund | | | 7 | |
Political noise and a lack of a state budget caused volatility within Illinois, but the state’s bonds had some of the highest returns. We have been overweight Illinois bonds for several years because we feel that the above-market income is compensating investors for the credit issues. We continue to believe that the state’s economic backdrop and ability to raise revenues, combined with Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner’s focus on cutting expenses, should ultimately lead to tighter spreads. New Jersey bonds also performed well as spreads tightened; however, issue selection within the state detracted from results, primarily due to our exposure to longer-dated floating-rate notes that repriced to reflect a protracted rate-hike cycle. During the past 12 months, Puerto Rico had several widely anticipated defaults on its debt. The lack of clarity surrounding the federal government’s restructuring legislation for Puerto Rico debt, the lack of financial statements, and a declining economy make it very hard to develop an investment opinion for the territory. As a result, we continue to have minimal exposure to Puerto Rico bonds.
|
Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20167 |
|
 |
Rates may be lower for longer, making credit allocation and issue selection even more important.
Near the end of the reporting period, the U.K. voted to withdraw from the European Union, prompting considerable uncertainty about future political situations, financial markets, and economic growth. U.S. Treasuries and municipal bonds rallied significantly on the news, and both 10-year and 30-year municipal yields reached record-low levels. Although we think rates may stay lower for longer, we recognize that an improvement in overseas economies, outflows in mutual funds, or a more hawkish tone from the Fed could lead to a spike in rates. However, if the U.S. economy does weaken materially, this could be the catalyst for us to increase our duration exposure and reduce our credit exposure. In this record-low interest-rate environment, security selection is even more important as breakeven yields (the sell-off that a bond can endure before the total return drops to zero) decrease.

8 | | Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
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.

Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund | | | 25 | |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
Effective at the close of business on October 23, 2015, Investor Class shares became Class A shares in a tax-free conversion. Shareholders of Investor Class 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 the Fund.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although a Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
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 principal 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 Fund’s Valuation Procedures.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Futures contracts
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in security values and interest rates. The
| | | | |
26 | | Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Inverse floating-rate obligations
The Fund may participate in inverse floating-rate obligation (“Inverse Floater”) structures whereby a fixed-rate bond (“Fixed-Rate Bond”) purchased by the Fund is transferred to a tender option bond trust (“TOB Trust”). The TOB Trust issues floating-rate notes (“Floating-Rate Notes”) to third-parties, which are collateralized by the Fixed-Rate Bond, and the Fund buys a residual interest in the TOB Trust’s assets and cash flows. The Inverse Floater held by the Fund gives the Fund the right (1) to cause the holders of the Floating-Rate Notes to tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the Fixed-Rate Bond held by the TOB Trust transferred back to the Fund, thereby collapsing the TOB Trust. The Fund accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed-Rate Bond in its Portfolio of Investments, and by recording the Floating-Rate Notes as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund also records the interest paid on Floating-Rate Notes as interest expense. The Floating-Rate Notes have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender their notes for redemption at par at each reset date. Inverse Floaters held by the Fund are securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
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.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. At June 30, 2016, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:
| | |
Paid-in capital | | Accumulated net realized gains on investments |
$(50,229) | | $50,229 |
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund | | | 27 | |
As of June 30, 2016, capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains were as follows through the indicated expiration dates:
| | | | |
2017 | | 2018 | | 2019 |
$5,924,646 | | $5,924,646 | | $130,027 |
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

Total assets | | $ | 5,527,544 | | | $ | 2,908,135,120 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 2,913,662,664 | |
Futures contracts are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to the Fund at that date. All other assets and liabilities are reported at their market value at measurement date.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1. The Fund had no material transfers between Level 2 and Level 3.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.40% and declining to 0.28% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.36% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Class B, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
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 Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.75% for Class A shares, 1.50% for Class B shares, 1.50% for Class C shares, 0.60% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.48% for Institutional Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fees
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class B and Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to Class B and Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares.
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 year ended June 30, 2016, Funds Distributor received $61,000 from the sale of Class A shares and $266 in contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class B, Class C, Administrator Class, and Investor Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund | | | 29 | |
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2016 were $420,264,951 and $1,071,548,125, respectively.
The Fund may purchase or sell investment securities to other Wells Fargo funds under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which generally do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown.
6. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into futures contracts to take advantage of the differences between municipal and treasury yields and to help manage the duration of the portfolio.
At June 30, 2016, the Fund had short futures contracts outstanding as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Expiration date | | Counterparty | | Contracts | | Type | | | Contract value at June 30, 2016 | | | Unrealized gains (losses) | |
9-21-2016 | | JPMorgan | | 200 Short | | | U.S. Treasury Bonds | | | $ | 34,468,750 | | | $ | (1,832,441 | ) |
9-30-2016 | | JPMorgan | | 600 Short | | | 5-Year U.S. Treasury Notes | | | | 73,298,438 | | | | 17,609 | |
The Fund had an average notional amount of $279,000 in long futures contracts and $69,364,673 in short futures contracts during the year ended June 30, 2016.
On June 30, 2016, the cumulative unrealized losses on futures contracts in the amount of $1,814,832 are reflected in net unrealized gains on investments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The receivable for daily variation margin on open futures contracts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities only represents the current day’s variation margin. The realized losses and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are reflected in the Statement of Operations.
For certain types of derivative transactions, the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, if any, are reported separately in the Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | | Collateral received | | | Net amount of assets | |
Futures – variation margin | | JPMorgan | | $148,859 | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 148,859 | |
7. 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 Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the
| | | | |
30 | | Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
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 year ended June 30, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Fund participated in Inverse Floaters which are accounted for as a secured borrowing. At June 30, 2016, the value of Floating-Rate Notes outstanding and the related collateral were $5,025,000 and $11,373,484, respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Fund held Floating-Rate Notes that had an average daily balance outstanding of $5,025,000 and incurred interest and fee expense in the amount of $42,771.
8. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended June 30, | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 2,352,986 | | | $ | 883,048 | |
Tax-exempt income | | | 89,031,195 | | | | 85,661,250 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 14,466,844 | | | | 26,759,194 | |
As of June 30, 2016, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Unrealized gains | | Undistributed long-term gain | | Capital loss carryforward |
$906,459 | | $212,075,618 | | $18,063,743 | | $(11,979,319) |
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm | | Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund | | | 31 | |
BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the summary portfolio of investments, of the Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund (formerly known as Wells Fargo Advantage Municipal Bond Fund) (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting the Wells Fargo Funds Trust, as of June 30, 2016, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2016, by correspondence with custodians and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund as of June 30, 2016, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-25, 2016 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2016, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2016. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe��), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe.
| | | | |
36 | | Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was higher than the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than its benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or equal to the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or in range of the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo and Funds Management profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
| | | | | | |
Other information (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund | | | 37 | |
Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Funds
In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo North Carolina Tax-Free Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) began normalizing monetary policy, raising the federal funds rate to between 0.25% and 0.50% in December 2015. Short-term municipal bond yields rose, but yields on longer-term bonds declined. In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, returned 7.65% during the 12-month reporting period.
Monetary policy was accommodative.
The Fed continued an easy monetary policy in order to support the economy and the financial system. However, it raised the federal funds target rate in December because it believed the U.S. economy was strong enough to begin normalizing monetary policy. The European Central Bank cut all three of its short-term rates during the reporting period, increased its asset-purchase program from 60 billion euros per month to 80 billion, expanded the list of eligible securities to include investment-grade nonbank debt, and created a fund-to-lend program where banks could be paid to lend money. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Despite accommodative central-bank policies that helped keep interest rates at ultra-low levels, there were periods of volatility. Early in 2016, weakness in certain emerging markets economies and commodities hurt riskier assets and a vote in June 2016 by the U.K. to exit the European Union set off another round of global uncertainty. Municipal bonds benefited because they are perceived as a safe-haven asset. In addition, investor demand for yield helped lower-rated debt outperform. The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index2 returned 12.09% during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016.
Strong demand, modest supply, and solid credit fundamentals supported municipals.
Market technicals remained favorable. According to the Investment Company Institute, more than $33 billion was allocated to municipal mutual funds during the first half of 2016, which was more than double the inflows during all of 2015. Further, inflows during the second quarter of 2016 were the largest in nearly seven years. In contrast, less new supply helped make 2015 the fifth calendar year of negative net supply and supply in the first half of 2016 was about 4% less than the same period last year.
Municipal credit quality remained on an uptrend despite a number of high-profile negative credit situations. Idiosyncratic credit risks remain, however. With regard to Puerto Rico, the U.S. enacted legislation that prohibits bondholder lawsuits temporarily and instills a fiscal oversight board for Puerto Rico; Puerto Rico then declared a moratorium on paying its general obligation (GO) bonds and defaulted on $911 million in payments due (most of which were GOs) on July 1, 2016.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo North Carolina Tax-Free Fund | | | 3 | |
state of Illinois approved a six-month stopgap budget, a temporary but meaningful step. Under this stopgap budget for the state, the city of Chicago receives authority to raise property taxes for teacher pensions and low-income school districts would receive greater state funding. City of Chicago and school district debt rallied on the news.
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 trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appear to have functioned well over the past year with sufficient liquidity.

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 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. 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). The Fund is exposed to North Carolina municipal securities risk, high-yield securities risk, and non-diversification risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

Growth of $10,000 investment as of June 30, 20166 |
|
 |
1 | Historical performance shown for all classes of the Fund prior to July 12, 2010, is based on the performance of the Fund’s predecessor, Evergreen North Carolina Municipal Bond Fund. |
2 | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through October 31, 2016, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at the amounts shown. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. |
4 | The Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index composed of long-term tax-exempt bonds with a minimum credit rating of Baa. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
5 | The Barclays North Carolina Municipal Bond Index is the North Carolina component of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
6 | The chart compares the performance of Class A shares for the most recent ten years with the Barclays Municipal Bond Index and the Barclays North Carolina Municipal Bond Index. The chart assumes a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Class A shares and reflects all operating expenses and assumes the maximum initial sales charge of 4.50%. |
7 | The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and/or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the Fund’s portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the total market value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. If a security was rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by two of three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund underperformed both of its benchmarks, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index and the Barclays North Carolina Municipal Bond Index, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. |
n | | We focused on defensively structured bonds in credits that we believed would outperform if interest rates rose. A short duration detracted from performance as yields fell and the market rallied. Yield-curve positioning also detracted from performance because it was underweight the long end of the yield curve, which was the best-performing part. |
n | | Investors reached for income in an ultralow-yield environment, which resulted in a strong technical rally in credit. The Fund’s overweight to BBB-rated and A-rated bonds was the largest contributor to performance for the period. Sector allocation and security selection contributed to performance. |
The period was marked by the long-term bonds outperforming.
The period began with the federal funds target rate expected to increase by late 2015, which made shorter maturities between one and five years less attractive due to a potential backup in municipal rates. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) tightened in December 2015 but signaled that the pace of further increases would be gradual. While the Fed was likely to take its time raising rates, U.S. inflation started to trend higher, unemployment dropped below 5% and economic growth was expected to remain at or above 2%. Municipal yields declined with longer-dated maturities outperforming by a significant margin. Less new-issue supply and strong demand (as evidenced by positive inflows to municipal bond funds) helped support the market. As investors reached for yield, credit spreads fell to near their lowest historical levels and the long end rallied to an all-time low of 2% on June 27, 2016.
|
Credit quality as of as of June 30, 20167 |
|
 |
The Fund’s credit positioning contributed to performance.
The Fund’s overweight to bonds A-rated and below was beneficial as lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds. As credit spreads contracted, we moved up in credit quality because we believed higher-rated bonds represented better relative value compared with lower-rated bonds. Many state-specific funds have exposure to Puerto Rico debt due to its triple tax exemption; however, we hold no Puerto Rico debt in the Fund. While the credit performed well over the past year, significant challenges remain and additional defaults are highly likely. The Fund was overweight essential-service revenue bonds, which outperformed, and underweight general obligation (GO) bonds, which underperformed. We saw more relative value in revenue bonds with predictable revenue streams that offered higher income than we did in GO bonds.

|
Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20168 |
|
 |
The Fund was positioned in a defensive manner, which was a detractor to performance.
We kept the Fund’s duration short throughout the period, which detracted from results as yields declined. Yield-curve positioning was suboptimal. The Fund was concentrated in the 10-year to 20-year part of the curve because we felt it offered the best risk-adjusted returns. While this part of the curve performed well, it was not enough to offset our underweight to the long end of the yield curve, which was the best-performing part of the curve.
North Carolina continues to improve in credit quality.
The state of North Carolina is rated Aaa/AAA/AAA (stable) by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch Ratings, respectively, based on conservative fiscal practices, moderate debt levels, and a well-funded pension system. The governor serves as the budget director, which allows for quick response when needed to balance operations. The state’s debt burden is a low 1.7% of personal income at $656 per capita with 80% of principal retired in 10 years. The state’s savings reserve account (rainy day fund) improved to 5% of operating expenses in 2016. Sales tax revenue is forecast to increase 6.1% in fiscal-year 2017, with income tax budgeted to increase 1.3%. We expect the state’s economy to continue to recover and expand while maintaining moderate debt levels.
Rates may be lower for longer, making credit allocation and issue selection even more important.
Near the end of the reporting period, the U.K. voted to withdraw from the European Union, prompting considerable uncertainty about future political situations, financial markets, and economic growth. U.S. Treasuries and municipal bonds rallied significantly on the news, and both 10-year and 30-year municipal yields reached record-low levels. Although we think rates may stay lower for longer, we recognize that an improvement in overseas economies, outflows in mutual funds, or a more hawkish tone from the Fed could lead to a spike in rates. However, if the U.S. economy does weaken materially, this could be the catalyst for us to increase our duration exposure and reduce our credit exposure. In this record-low interest-rate environment, security selection is even more important as breakeven yields (the sell-off that a bond can endure before the total return drops to zero) decrease.

8 | | Wells Fargo North Carolina Tax-Free Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
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.

18 | | Wells Fargo North Carolina Tax-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo North Carolina Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a non-diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
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), although a Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
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.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo North Carolina Tax-Free Fund | | | 19 | |
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Capital loss carryforwards that do not expire are required to be utilized prior to capital loss carryforwards that expire. As of June 30, 2016, capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains were as follows through the indicated expiration dates:
| | | | |
| | | | No expiration |
2017 | | 2018 | | Long-term |
$6,610,328 | | $3,623,438 | | $21,451 |
As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had current year deferred post-October capital losses consisting of $34,248 in long-term losses which will be recognized on the first day of the following fiscal year.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
| | | | |

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Total assets | | $ | 143,783 | | | $ | 104,469,168 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 104,612,951 | |
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.40% and declining to 0.28% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.85% for Class A shares, 1.60% for Class C shares, and 0.54% for Institutional Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo North Carolina Tax-Free Fund | | | 21 | |
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the year ended June 30, 2016, Funds Distributor received $3,365 from the sale of Class A shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A and Class C of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2016 were $11,242,248 and $6,639,692, respectively.
The Fund may purchase or sell investment securities to other Wells Fargo funds under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which generally do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown.
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 Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to September 1, 2015, the revolving credit agreement amount was $150,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.10% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended June 30 | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Tax-exempt income | | $ | 3,164,807 | | | $ | 3,345,284 | |
As of June 30, 2016, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Unrealized gains | | Post-October capital losses deferred | | Capital loss carryforward |
$84,678 | | $9,496,581 | | $(34,248) | | $(10,255,217) |
8. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or territories of the U.S. Therefore, it may be more affected by economic and political developments in that state or region than would be a comparable general tax-exempt fund.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-25, 2016 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo North Carolina Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2016, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2016. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe.

The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Class A) was higher than or in range of the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was in range of its benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for all periods under review except the one, five and ten-year periods.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or in range of the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo and Funds Management profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) began normalizing monetary policy, raising the federal funds rate to between 0.25% and 0.50% in December 2015. Short-term municipal bond yields rose, but yields on longer-term bonds declined. In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, returned 7.65% during the 12-month reporting period.
Monetary policy was accommodative.
The Fed continued an easy monetary policy in order to support the economy and the financial system. However, it raised the federal funds target rate in December because it believed the U.S. economy was strong enough to begin normalizing monetary policy. The European Central Bank cut all three of its short-term rates during the reporting period, increased its asset-purchase program from 60 billion euros per month to 80 billion, expanded the list of eligible securities to include investment-grade nonbank debt, and created a fund-to-lend program where banks could be paid to lend money. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Despite accommodative central-bank policies that helped keep interest rates at ultra-low levels, there were periods of volatility. Early in 2016, weakness in certain emerging markets economies and commodities hurt riskier assets and a vote in June 2016 by the U.K. to exit the European Union set off another round of global uncertainty. Municipal bonds benefited because they are perceived as a safe-haven asset. In addition, investor demand for yield helped lower-rated debt outperform. The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index2 returned 12.09% during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016.
Strong demand, modest supply, and solid credit fundamentals supported municipals.
Market technicals remained favorable. According to the Investment Company Institute, more than $33 billion was allocated to municipal mutual funds during the first half of 2016, which was more than double the inflows during all of 2015. Further, inflows during the second quarter of 2016 were the largest in nearly seven years. In contrast, less new supply helped make 2015 the fifth calendar year of negative net supply and supply in the first half of 2016 was about 4% less than the same period last year.
Municipal credit quality remained on an uptrend despite a number of high-profile negative credit situations. Idiosyncratic credit risks remain, however. With regard to Puerto Rico, the U.S. enacted legislation that prohibits bondholder lawsuits temporarily and instills a fiscal oversight board for Puerto Rico; Puerto Rico then declared a moratorium on paying its general obligation (GO) bonds and defaulted on $911 million in payments due (most of which were GOs) on July 1, 2016. The state of Illinois approved a six-month stopgap budget, a temporary but

2 | The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index measures the non-investment-grade and nonrated U.S. dollar–denominated, fixed-rate, tax-exempt bond market within the 50 United States and four other qualifying regions (Washington, D.C.; Puerto Rico; Guam; and the Virgin Islands). The index allows state and local general obligation, revenue, insured, and prerefunded bonds; however, historically the index has been composed of mostly revenue bonds. You cannot invest directly in an index. |

meaningful step. Under this stopgap budget for the state, the city of Chicago receives authority to raise property taxes for teacher pensions and low-income school districts would receive greater state funding. City of Chicago and school district debt rallied on the news.
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 trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appear to have functioned well over the past year with sufficient liquidity.
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,

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. 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). The Fund is exposed to Pennsylvania municipal securities risk and high-yield securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund underperformed both of its benchmarks, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index and the Barclays Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Index, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. |
n | | The Fund was positioned to help protect against higher interest rates. The Fund also maintained a defensive credit positioning, moving up in credit quality as credit spreads contracted. We kept the Fund’s duration short compared with both its benchmarks, which detracted from performance as yields fell and the market rallied. Yield-curve positioning also detracted from performance because the Fund was underweight the longest part of the yield curve, which was the best-performing part. |
n | | Investors reached for income in an ultralow-yield environment, which resulted in a strong rally in higher-yielding bonds. The Fund’s overweight to BBB-rated and A-rated bonds as well as a modest allocation to high yield were the largest contributors to performance. |
The period was marked by the long-term bonds outperforming.
At the beginning of the period, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) was expected to begin raising its federal funds target rate by late 2015, which made shorter-term maturities less attractive due to a potential backup in rates. The Fed tightened in December 2015 but signaled that the pace of further increases would be gradual. While the Fed was likely to take its time raising rates, U.S. inflation started to trend higher, unemployment remained below 5%, and economic growth was expected to remain at or above 2%. Municipal yields declined with longer-dated maturities outperforming by a significant margin.

The Fund was positioned in a defensive manner, which detracted from performance.
We kept the Fund’s duration short relative to the benchmark, which detracted from performance as the market rallied. Yield-curve positioning proved to be suboptimal. The Fund was concentrated in the 6- to 17-year part of the curve because we felt it offered the best risk-adjusted returns. While this part of the curve performed well, it was not enough to offset an underweight to the best-performing long end of the yield curve.
The Fund’s credit positioning contributed to performance.
The Fund was overweight A-rated and BBB-rated bonds, which contributed to results. As credit spreads contracted, we moved up in quality because we believed higher-rated bonds represented better relative value than lower-rated bonds. Many state-specific funds have exposure to Puerto Rico debt due to its triple tax exemption; however, we hold no Puerto Rico debt in the Fund. While the credit performed well over the last year, significant challenges remain and additional defaults are highly likely.
Sector allocation also benefited results. The Fund was overweight essential-service revenue bonds, which outperformed, and underweight general obligation (GO) bonds, which underperformed. We saw more relative value in revenue bonds with predictable revenue streams that offered higher income than we did in GO bonds.
While the Fund remained underweight state and local GOs, we selectively added some local GOs that represented relative-value opportunities.

Performance highlights (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund | | | 7 | |
Pennsylvania remained challenged by political gridlock.
The commonwealth of Pennsylvania is rated Aa3/AA-/ AA- by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch Ratings, respectively. With 12.8 million people, Pennsylvania is the sixth-largest state by population. Its economy is supported by the relative stability of the health care and higher education sectors, primarily in the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, which account for 40% of state population. Revenue growth was a modest 2.5% in 2016 with a moderate debt structure at 2.3% of personal income and $1,116 per capita. Political negotiations were contentious in 2016, and a budget was not approved until nine months into the fiscal year. The magnitude of structural budget challenges is not insurmountable, in our view; however, political gridlock calls into question lawmakers’ ability to resolve structural imbalances and continues to be a credit risk and the reason for our negative outlook.
Rates may be lower for longer, making credit allocation and issue selection even more important.
Near the end of the reporting period, the U.K. voted to withdraw from the European Union, prompting considerable uncertainty about future political situations, financial markets, and economic growth. U.S. Treasuries and municipal bonds rallied significantly on the news, and both 10-year and 30-year municipal yields reached record-low levels. Although we think rates may stay lower for longer, we recognize that an improvement in overseas economies, outflows in mutual funds, or a more hawkish tone from the Fed could lead to a spike in rates. However, if the U.S. economy does weaken materially, this could be the catalyst for us to increase our duration exposure and reduce our credit exposure. In this record-low interest-rate environment, security selection is even more important as breakeven yields (the sell-off that a bond can endure before the total return drops to zero) decrease.

8 | | Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
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.

Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund | | | 21 | |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
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), although a Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
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.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.

22 | | Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications are due to expiration of capital loss carryforwards. At June 30, 2016, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:
| | |
Paid-in capital | | Accumulated net realized losses on investments |
(4,125,739) | | $4,125,739 |
As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains in the amount of $5,875,768 expiring in 2017.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund | | | 23 | |
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

Total assets | | $ | 1,714,696 | | | $ | 209,622,650 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 211,337,346 | |
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.40% and declining to 0.28% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Class B, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.74% for Class A shares, 1.49% for Class B shares, 1.49% for Class C shares, and 0.49% for Institutional Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fees
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class B and Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to Class B and Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares.
| | | | |
24 | | Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
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 year ended June 30, 2016, Funds Distributor received $18,749 from the sale of Class A shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class B, and Class C of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class. A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2016 were $73,067,034 and $24,116,368, respectively.
The Fund may purchase or sell investment securities to other Wells Fargo funds under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which generally do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown.
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 Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to September 1, 2015, the revolving credit agreement amount was $150,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.10% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended June 30, | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 56,319 | |
Tax-exempt income | | | 6,202,910 | | | | 6,255,064 | |
As of June 30, 2016, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Unrealized gains | | Capital loss carryforward |
$62,036 | | $15,512,343 | | $(5,875,768) |
8. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or territories of the U.S. Therefore, it may be more affected by economic and political developments in that state or region than would be a comparable general tax-exempt fund.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-25, 2016 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2016, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2016. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance
| | | | |
30 | | Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
Universe. The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Class A) was higher than the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than or in range of its benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo and Funds Management profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) began normalizing monetary policy, raising the federal funds rate to between 0.25% and 0.50% in December 2015. Short-term municipal bond yields rose, but yields on longer-term bonds declined. In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, returned 7.65% during the 12-month reporting period.
Monetary policy was accommodative.
The Fed continued an easy monetary policy in order to support the economy and the financial system. However, it raised the federal funds target rate in December because it believed the U.S. economy was strong enough to begin normalizing monetary policy. The European Central Bank cut all three of its short-term rates during the reporting period, increased its asset-purchase program from 60 billion euros per month to 80 billion, expanded the list of eligible securities to include investment-grade nonbank debt, and created a fund-to-lend program where banks could be paid to lend money. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Despite accommodative central-bank policies that helped keep interest rates at ultra-low levels, there were periods of volatility. Early in 2016, weakness in certain emerging markets economies and commodities hurt riskier assets and a vote in June 2016 by the U.K. to exit the European Union set off another round of global uncertainty. Municipal bonds benefited because they are perceived as a safe-haven asset. In addition, investor demand for yield helped lower-rated debt outperform. The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index2 returned 12.09% during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016.
Strong demand, modest supply, and solid credit fundamentals supported municipals.
Market technicals remained favorable. According to the Investment Company Institute, more than $33 billion was allocated to municipal mutual funds during the first half of 2016, which was more than double the inflows during all of 2015. Further, inflows during the second quarter of 2016 were the largest in nearly seven years. In contrast, less new supply helped make 2015 the fifth calendar year of negative net supply and supply in the first half of 2016 was about 4% less than the same period last year.
Municipal credit quality remained on an uptrend despite a number of high-profile negative credit situations. Idiosyncratic credit risks remain, however. With regard to Puerto Rico, the U.S. enacted legislation that prohibits bondholder lawsuits temporarily and instills a fiscal oversight board for Puerto Rico; Puerto Rico then declared a moratorium on paying its general obligation (GO) bonds and defaulted on $911 million in payments due (most of which were GOs) on July 1, 2016. The state of Illinois approved a six-month stopgap budget, a temporary but

The index allows state and local general obligation, revenue, insured, and prerefunded bonds; however, historically the index has been composed of mostly revenue bonds.

meaningful step. Under this stopgap budget for the state, the city of Chicago receives authority to raise property taxes for teacher pensions and low-income school districts would receive greater state funding. City of Chicago and school district debt rallied on the news.
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 trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appear to have functioned well over the past year with sufficient liquidity.
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,

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 2.00%. 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.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest-rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to high-yield securities risk and municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

1 | Historical performance shown for Class A shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the former Investor Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to the former Investor Class shares (except during those periods in which expenses of Class A shares would have been higher than those of the former Investor Class shares). If these expenses had not been included, returns would be higher. Historical performance shown for Administrator Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Institutional Class shares, adjusted to reflect the higher expenses applicable to Administrator Class shares. Historical performance shown for Institutional Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the former Investor Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to the former Investor Class shares. If these expenses had not been included, returns would be higher. |
2 | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through October 31, 2016, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at the amounts shown. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. |
4 | The Barclays 1-3 Year Composite Municipal Bond Index is a blended index weighted 50% in the Barclays 1-Year Municipal Bond Index and 50% in the Barclays 3-Year Municipal Bond Index. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
5 | The chart compares the performance of Class A shares for the most recent ten years with the Barclays 1-3 Year Composite Municipal Bond Index. The chart assumes a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Class A shares and reflects all operating expenses and assumes the maximum initial sales charge of 2.00%. |
6 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
7 | The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and/or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the Fund’s portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the total market value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. If a security was rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by two of three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays 1–3 Year Composite Municipal Bond Index, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. |
n | | Security selection within industrial development revenue and health care detracted from performance. On the flip side, exposure to Illinois and New Jersey-related debt added to performance as investors looked for yield. |
n | | Because we expected interest rates would gradually increase, we kept the Fund’s duration short throughout the year, which detracted from performance. We positioned the Fund along the steeper part of the front end of the yield curve while keeping a large liquidity position to redeploy in a higher-interest-rate environment, and this yield-curve positioning contributed to results. |
|
Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20166 |
|
 |
Ultralow yields continued throughout the period.
With the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) poised to normalize its interest-rate policy, shorter-term maturities appeared less attractive at the beginning of the reporting period due to a potential backup in short-term yields. However, subdued inflation expectations, due in part to low oil prices, combined with a fragile European economy and softening Chinese economy, implied that longer maturities would outperform. We, therefore, extended the Fund’s duration in anticipation of lower yields and also positioned the Fund for a flatter yield curve. The Fund’s yield-curve positioning, which was underweight maturities between one and four years and overweight the five- to seven-year area, helped results. Longer-term
maturities outperformed shorter-term maturities by a wide margin because the municipal curve flattened 100 basis points (bps; 100 bps equals 1.00%) between one-and seven-year maturities.
The Fed tightened in December 2015 but signaled that the pace of further increases would be gradual. While the Fed was likely to take its time raising rates, U.S. inflation started to trend higher, unemployment remained below 5%, and economic growth was expected to remain at or above 2%. We reduced duration as the market rallied. The Fund’s short duration hurt results during 2016 because yields continued to decline
|
Credit quality as of June 30, 20167 |
|
 |
Credit-quality allocation helped results.
The Fund’s overweight to A-rated and BBB-rated debt and its out-of-benchmark holdings in high-yield and nonrated debt contributed to results because lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds by a wide margin during the period. In addition, its overweight to BBB-rated bonds with relatively short maturities allowed it to maintain a competitive yield without taking on significant duration risk. The Fund’s holdings within the local general obligation, special tax, education, and transportation sectors performed well. On the other hand, issue selection within the health care and industrial development revenue sectors detracted from results, largely because of their shorter duration profile. We have
been cautious within the health care sector for quite
some time because we believe credit fundamentals have peaked. Although taxable corporate bond spreads increased dramatically during late 2015 and early 2016 as global fears spooked the market, spreads for corporate-backed municipal debt declined. We sold into this rally, but continued new-money flows into municipal bonds funds caused these spreads to move even tighter. Finally, sector allocation also benefited performance, particularly because the Fund was underweight prerefunded bonds.

Performance highlights (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | | | 7 | |
Political noise and a lack of a state budget caused volatility within Illinois, but the state’s bonds had some of the highest returns. We have been overweight Illinois bonds for several years because we feel that the above-market income is compensating investors for the credit issues. We continue to believe that the state’s economic backdrop and ability to raise revenues, combined with Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner’s focus on cutting expenses, should ultimately lead to tighter spreads. New Jersey bonds also performed well as spreads tightened; however, issue selection within the state detracted from results, primarily due to our exposure to longer-dated floating-rate notes that repriced to reflect a protracted rate-hike cycle. During the past 12 months, Puerto Rico had several widely anticipated defaults on its debt. The lack of clarity surrounding the federal government’s restructuring legislation for Puerto Rico debt, the lack of financial statements, and a declining economy make it hard to develop an investment opinion for the territory. As a result, we had minimal exposure to Puerto Rico bonds.
Rates may be lower for longer, making credit allocation and issue selection even more important.
Near the end of the reporting period, the U.K. voted to withdraw from the European Union, prompting considerable uncertainty about future political situations, financial markets, and economic growth. U.S. Treasuries and municipal bonds rallied significantly on the news, and both 10-year and 30-year municipal yields reached record-low levels. Although we think rates may stay lower for longer, we recognize that an improvement in overseas economies, outflows in mutual funds, or a more hawkish tone from the Fed could lead to a spike in rates. However, if the U.S. economy does weaken materially, this could be the catalyst for us to increase our duration exposure and reduce our credit exposure. In this record-low interest-rate environment, security selection is even more important as breakeven yields (the sell-off that a bond can endure before the total return drops to zero) decrease.

8 | | Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
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 Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
Effective at the close of business on October 23, 2015, Investor Class shares became Class A shares in a tax-free conversion. Shareholders of Investor Class 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 the Fund.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although a Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Futures that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | | | 43 | |
Futures contracts
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. At June 30, 2016, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:
| | |
Undistributed net investment income | | Accumulated net realized gains on investments |
$91,146 | | $(91,146) |
As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had current year deferred post-October capital losses consisting of $2,044,486 in long-term losses which will be recognized on the first day of the following fiscal year.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.

3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

Futures contracts are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due from the Fund at that date. All other assets and liabilities are reported at their market value at measurement date.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1. The Fund had no material transfers between Level 2 and Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.35% and declining to 0.255% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.32% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | | | 45 | |
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.05% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class, | | | 0.08 | |
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 Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.63% for Class A shares, 1.38% for Class C shares, 0.60% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.40% for Institutional Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Prior to November 1, 2015, the Fund’s expenses were capped at 0.60% for Class A shares and 1.35% for Class C shares.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of 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 C shares. For the year ended June 30, 2016, Funds Distributor received $6,740 from the sale of Class A shares and $673 in contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares, respectively.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C, Administrator Class, and Investor Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2016 were $1,460,013,620 and $862,182,669, respectively.
The Fund may purchase or sell investment securities to other Wells Fargo funds under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which generally do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown.

6. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into futures contracts to take advantage of the differences between municipal and treasury yields and to help manage the duration of the portfolio.
At June 30, 2016, the Fund had short futures contracts outstanding as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Expiration date | | Counterparty | | Contracts | | Type | | | Contract value at June 30, 2016 | | | Unrealized losses | |
9-30-2016 | | JPMorgan | | 1,000 Short | | | 5-Year U.S. Treasury Notes | | | $ | 122,164,063 | | | $ | (2,244,088 | ) |
The Fund had an average notional amount of $54,386,336 in short futures contracts during the year ended June 30, 2016.
On June 30, 2016, the cumulative unrealized losses on futures contracts in the amount of $2,244,088 are reflected in net unrealized gains on investments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The payable for daily variation margin on open futures contracts reflected in the Statement 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 Statement of Operations.
For certain types of derivative transactions, the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, if any, are reported separately in the Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities | | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | | Collateral pledged1 | | | Net amount of liabilities | |
Futures – variation margin | | | JPMorgan | | | $ | 78,125 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | (78,125 | ) | | $ | 0 | |
| 1 | Collateral pledged within this table is limited to the collateral for the net transaction with the counterparty. | |
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 the Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to September 1, 2015, the revolving credit agreement amount was $150,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.10% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.

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

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-25, 2016 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2016, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2016. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe.
| | | | | | |
Other information (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | | | 53 | |
The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Class A) was higher than the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than or in range of its benchmark, the Barclays 1-3 Year Composite Municipal Bond Index, for all periods under review except the one-year period.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or equal to the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo and Funds Management profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

Economies of Scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Karla M. Rabusch
President
Wells Fargo Funds
Despite significant market fluctuations over the course of the year, U.S. stocks generally delivered positive results overall for the 12-month reporting period; large- and mid-cap stocks generally outperformed small-cap stocks, which delivered negative results for the period.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Small Cap Core Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. Please note that the Fund acquired the assets of the former Golden Small Cap Core Fund in a merger transaction on May 20, 2016 and has also adopted its accounting and performance history. During the 12-month period, which began with the third quarter of 2015, U.S. and international stock markets experienced heightened volatility, with intermittent rebounds interspersed with sell-offs. The U.S. economy displayed resilience throughout the period, although growth was somewhat sluggish amid ongoing pressures that included slowing growth in China, a strengthening U.S. dollar, and uncertainty regarding interest-rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed); international economies faced deeper ongoing challenges. During June 2016, global markets became especially volatile as the U.K.’s vote over whether to leave the European Union (E.U.) approached. Despite significant market fluctuations over the course of the year, U.S. stocks generally delivered positive results overall for the 12-month reporting period; large- and mid-cap stocks generally outperformed small-cap stocks, which delivered negative results for the period. International markets generally declined as well.
In the third quarter of 2015, China’s slowdown took a toll on economies and markets worldwide.
U.S. stocks sagged during the quarter, experiencing the most volatility since 2011. Economic data released during the quarter suggested the U.S. economy remained solid but had lost some steam, burdened by the drag of the U.S. dollar’s strength coupled with global economic turmoil. The fact that the Fed left the federal funds interest rate unchanged at its September 2015 meeting surprised investors and fueled increased uncertainty about the U.S. economy’s stamina to remain healthy while facing the challenges of slowing in China and troubles elsewhere in the world. Outside the U.S., markets were even more volatile and delivered generally weaker quarterly results, also largely due to investors’ increasing anxiety over China’s weakened economy. Because China is the world’s largest importer of many commodities, a number of emerging markets—key commodities exporters—struggled under the dual strains of reduced demand for commodities and, because of weaker demand, lower prices for the commodities they did sell. In the eurozone, however, where only about 3% of exports are sent to China, household spending and business investment appeared relatively unaffected by troubles elsewhere. However, the European Central Bank (ECB) warned that China’s slowing could lead to slower growth and lower inflation rates in the eurozone than previously forecast and indicated additional stimulus could be provided should this occur.
Despite ongoing concerns, U.S. stocks generally rose in the fourth quarter of 2015; international markets lagged.
While the broad U.S. stock market bounced back in the quarter, stock markets outside the U.S. failed to keep pace as economic concerns, including China’s ongoing slowdown, continued to affect many countries. U.S. economic data released during the quarter indicated the economy remained solid, although the strong U.S. dollar and weakness in international economies remained headwinds. In December, the Fed, as expected, raised its target interest rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equals 1.00%) after keeping it near zero for seven years. The move reflected confidence in the U.S. economy’s ability to stay healthy with less central-bank support. The Fed also clarified that future interest-rate increases would be gradual.
In the first quarter of 2016, market volatility increased globally amid ongoing concerns.
Stock markets worldwide fluctuated widely in the first quarter of 2016. Most declined sharply in the first six weeks of the year on concerns such as weak global growth, falling commodity prices, and uncertainty over the timing and impact of the Fed’s interest-rate increases. As the quarter progressed, fears abated

Letter to shareholders (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Small Cap Core Fund | | | 3 | |
somewhat and global markets generally rallied back. The U.S. economy ended the quarter on a positive note as much of the quarter’s data reflected resiliency. With ongoing uncertainties about global growth and financial markets, however, the Fed held off from raising the target interest rate during the quarter. Outside the U.S., the eurozone fell into deflation in February; in response, the ECB announced an expansion of its stimulus program. In China, the government in March set a growth rate of 6.5% to 7.0% for 2016, an acknowledgment of weakening growth. In emerging markets, although central-bank stimulus and improved prices for oil and other commodities led to stock-market rallies in the quarter, many of these countries’ economies face credit downgrades due to challenges such as the likelihood of a stronger U.S. dollar, which would make dollar-denominated debt more expensive.
Worries over interest rates and the U.K.’s vote largely drove the markets during the second quarter of 2016.
U.S. stocks began the quarter in positive territory but started to lose steam in early May on worries that a possible June interest-rate increase by the Fed could hurt the market. In mid-May, stocks briefly plunged following comments by Fed officials noting that a June interest-rate increase remained on the table. But once investors had processed this information, stocks again rallied, finishing up for the month. The first three weeks of June brought heightened volatility, spurred largely by a disappointing jobs report and uncertainty over whether the U.K. would remain in the E.U. The U.K.’s Brexit vote on June 23 shocked countries in Europe and much of the rest of the world. Stock markets plummeted as investors worried that the U.K.’s departure from the E.U. would slow global growth and prolong the low-interest-rate environment. Following the initial rout, however, U.S. stocks rallied as investors seemed to decide that any negative effects would be more localized and not create a serious risk for global growth. By quarter-end, the broad U.S. stock market had moved back into positive territory.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wellsfargofunds.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 5.75%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Class R6, 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. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to foreign investment risk and smaller-company securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

1 | Historical performance shown for the Class A, Class C and Administrator Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the Institutional Class shares, and are adjusted to reflect Class A, Class C and Administrator shares expenses, respectively. Historical performance shown for the Class R6 shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the Institutional Class shares, and has not been adjusted to reflect Class R6 shares expenses. If these expenses had been included, returns for Class R6 shares would be higher. Historical performance shown for all classes of the Fund prior to May 20, 2016 is based on the performance of the Fund’s predecessor, Golden Small Cap Core Fund. |
2 | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through July 31, 2019, 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 expense cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. |
4 | The Russell 2000® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index, which represents approximately 8% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000® Index. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
5 | The chart compares the performance of Class A shares for the most recent ten years with the Russell 2000® Index . The chart assumes a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Class A shares and reflects all operating expenses and assumes the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%. |

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund underperformed the Russell 2000® Index for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. |
n | | From a sector-weighting perspective, the largest detractors included underweights to the utilities and financials sectors and overweights to the health care and energy sectors. |
n | | As market volatility increased during the period, we remained focused on identifying strong companies with solid fundamentals and attractive valuations that would offer potential for capital appreciation over time. |
Market volatility in the second half of 2015 and the beginning of 2016, coupled with a very-low-interest-rate environment, drove many investors into lower-risk sectors, such as utilities and telecommunication services. Also, continued weakness in oil prices compared with prior-year levels caused many energy-related companies to sell off sharply. The Fund, while broadly diversified, was not positioned for the themes that dominated the market during the reporting period.
Fund positioning drove underperformance for the period.
The Fund’s underweights to the utilities sector and to the real estate investment trust (REIT) industry within the financials sector detracted significantly from performance. Investors seeking yield drove stock prices for both utilities and REITs far above market averages for the 12-month period. Overweights to two of the weakest-performing sectors for the period, energy and health care, also hindered results. Within energy, the Fund primarily was focused on companies in the oil-tanker storage segment, such as Teekay Tankers Limited and Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation. These companies experienced weakness as tanker lease rates began weakening due to concerns of oversupply in the market. Within health care, pharmaceutical companies Lannett Company, Incorporated, and Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Incorporated, drove relative underperformance; weakening fundamentals and analyst downgrades led to stock declines for both companies.
The Fund benefited from stock selection within the materials sector. Trinseo S.A., a manufacturer of plastic, latex, and rubber products for the automotive industry, consumer electronics, and portable appliances, rallied strongly in response to strong earnings growth and the announcement of a share buy-back plan.
Current Fund positioning includes overweights to the health care, information technology, and industrials sectors and underweights to the financials, utilities, and consumer discretionary sectors.

Our investment process seeks attractively valued companies likely to exceed earnings expectations.
Our investment process, which we refer to as an active-quant approach, combines quantitative and qualitative evaluations of each company being considered. Our quantitative evaluation looks at valuation, earnings, and momentum related factors to produce an objective, unbiased review of each company in the investment universe and its ranking compared with other companies being considered. A company’s ranking is the primary basis for our buy and sell decisions. We also place a high value on qualitative analysis; our investment professionals evaluate each company in light of overall market conditions and the company’s potential impact on the Fund from a risk/reward perspective. We have developed measurement tools and tailored our investment process in support of two key tenets of our investment philosophy: Companies purchased should be available at a reasonable price, and they should be profitable and capable of increasing revenues and earnings.

Despite recent and possible future risks, we believe our process will continue uncovering potentially attractive investment opportunities.
As we enter the third quarter of 2016, investors have appeared most concerned about geopolitical risks and potential contagion in the financials markets. The Brexit vote has set off a new round of global market volatility that likely will remain elevated for a while. Only time will tell if current fears will be realized; historically, many geopolitical shocks have been short term in nature, and economies and markets have adjusted to new realities.
While heightened volatility has been affecting all asset classes, we believe the impact on currencies and central banks’ responses to currency moves are likely to be the most significant factors influencing the U.S. economy and markets over the near term. The British pound already has depreciated significantly in response to the Brexit vote and could weaken further, which would make goods from the U.K. cheaper and thus more attractive to global consumers. In turn, global central banks could be compelled to take steps to make their currencies and goods more competitively priced in global markets. The U.S. dollar’s position as the global reserve currency may lead to defensive flows into dollar-denominated assets, which then may cause the dollar to strengthen. As a result, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) could delay interest-rate increases due to the heightened risks and uncertainty in global markets. If the Fed does delay rate increases and other major central banks continue to pursue monetary-stimulus measures, we believe that monetary authorities would be doing the best they can to create a supportive environment for risk assets like stocks.
As a result of the increased volatility, risk aversion, and low-interest-rate environment, we believe investors may have been overpaying for lower-volatility and higher-yielding stocks in recent months. Although the market has not been rewarding companies displaying the traditional value metrics on which we focus, we believe companies with attractive valuations that potentially would benefit from positive economic growth remain the most attractive investment opportunities. We will stick to our investment philosophy centered on a disciplined, objective, and repeatable stock-selection process and emphasize firms we view as attractively valued and most likely to exceed earnings expectations.

8 | | Wells Fargo Small Cap Core Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
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 Wells Fargo Small Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
After the close of business on May 20, 2016, the net assets of Golden Small Cap Core Fund were acquired by the Fund, which was created to receive the assets of Golden Small Cap Core Fund, in an exchange for shares of the Fund. Institutional shareholders of Golden Small Cap Core Fund received shares of Institutional Class of the Fund in the transaction. Since Golden Small Cap Core Fund contributed all of the net assets and shareholders to the newly created Wells Fargo fund, the accounting and performance history of Golden Small Cap Core Fund has been carried forward in the financial statements contained herein.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
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 principal 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 Fund’s Valuation Procedures.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
| | | | |
22 | | Wells Fargo Small Cap Core Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The primary permanent difference causing such reclassifications is due to dividends from certain securities. At June 30, 2016, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:
| | |
Undistributed net investment income | | Accumulated net realized losses on investments |
$(69,021) | | $69,021 |
Capital loss carryforwards that do not expire are required to be utilized prior to capital loss carryforwards that expire. As of June 30, 2016, capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains were as follows through the indicated expiration dates:
| | | | |
| | No expiration |
2018 | | Short-term | | Long-term |
$49,578,591 | | $9,232,422 | | $712,049 |
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Small Cap Core Fund | | | 23 | |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.85% and declining to 0.71% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Prior to May 20, 2016, Golden Capital Management, LLC, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo was the investment adviser to the predecessor fund and received an advisory fee at an annual rate of 1.10% of the average daily net assets of the predecessor fund.

Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Class C | | | 0.21 | % |
Class R6 | | | 0.03 | |
Administrator Class, Institutional Class | | | 0.13 | |
Prior to May 20, 2016, the Institutional Class of the predecessor fund did not incur any administration fees.
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through July 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 1.35% for Class A shares, 2.10% for Class C shares, 0.90% for Class R6 shares, 1.25% for Administrator Class and 1.00% for Institutional Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Prior to May 20, 2016, the adviser of the predecessor fund had capped the expenses of Institutional Class at 1.10% through October 31, 2015.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fees is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. Prior to May 20, 2016, the predecessor fund did not have a distribution plan.
Funds Distributor is also 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
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C, and Administrator Class, of the Fund are 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. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) began normalizing monetary policy, raising the federal funds rate to between 0.25% and 0.50% in December 2015. Short-term municipal bond yields rose, but yields on longer-term bonds declined. In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, returned 7.65% during the 12-month reporting period.
Monetary policy was accommodative.
The Fed continued an easy monetary policy in order to support the economy and the financial system. However, it raised the federal funds target rate in December because it believed the U.S. economy was strong enough to begin normalizing monetary policy. The European Central Bank cut all three of its short-term rates during the reporting period, increased its asset-purchase program from 60 billion euros per month to 80 billion, expanded the list of eligible securities to include investment-grade nonbank debt, and created a fund-to-lend program where banks could be paid to lend money. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Despite accommodative central-bank policies that helped keep interest rates at ultra-low levels, there were periods of volatility. Early in 2016, weakness in certain emerging markets economies and commodities hurt riskier assets and a vote in June 2016 by the U.K. to exit the European Union set off another round of global uncertainty. Municipal bonds benefited because they are perceived as a safe-haven asset. In addition, investor demand for yield helped lower-rated debt outperform. The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index2 returned 12.09% during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016.
Strong demand, modest supply, and solid credit fundamentals supported municipals.
Market technicals remained favorable. According to the Investment Company Institute, more than $33 billion was allocated to municipal mutual funds during the first half of 2016, which was more than double the inflows during all of 2015. Further, inflows during the second quarter of 2016 were the largest in nearly seven years. In contrast, less new supply helped make 2015 the fifth calendar year of negative net supply and supply in the first half of 2016 was about 4% less than the same period last year.
Municipal credit quality remained on an uptrend despite a number of high-profile negative credit situations. Idiosyncratic credit risks remain, however. With regard to Puerto Rico, the U.S. enacted legislation that prohibits bondholder lawsuits temporarily and instills a fiscal oversight board for Puerto Rico; Puerto Rico then declared a moratorium on paying its general obligation (GO) bonds and defaulted on $911 million in payments due (most of which were GOs) on July 1, 2016. The state of Illinois approved a six-month stopgap budget, a temporary but

2 | The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index measures the non-investment-grade and nonrated U.S. dollar–denominated, fixed-rate, tax-exempt bond market within the 50 United States and four other qualifying regions (Washington, D.C.; Puerto Rico; Guam; and the Virgin Islands). The index allows state and local general obligation, revenue, insured, and prerefunded bonds; however, historically the index has been composed of mostly revenue bonds. You cannot invest directly in an index. |

meaningful step. Under this stopgap budget for the state, the city of Chicago receives authority to raise property taxes for teacher pensions and low-income school districts would receive greater state funding. City of Chicago and school district debt rallied on the news.
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 trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appear to have functioned well over the past year with sufficient liquidity.
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,

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 4.00%. 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.
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. High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. 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 municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

7 | The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and/or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the Fund’s portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the total market value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. If a security was rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by two of three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Short-Intermediate Municipal Bond Index, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. |
n | | We extended the Fund’s duration at the beginning of the period but remained short relative to the benchmark. As interest rates fell, we reduced the Fund’s interest-rate exposure and ended the period at the lower end of our targeted range. A short duration detracted from results as yields fell. |
n | | Investors continued their search for income in this low-yield environment, which caused lower-quality bonds to perform very well. The Fund’s overweight to A-rated, BBB-rated, and out-of-benchmark below-investment-grade debt was the biggest contributor to returns. |
n | | Sector allocation and security selection within the better-performing local general obligation (GO), education, and corporate-backed sectors contributed to results, whereas allocations to the health care and electric revenue sectors detracted. |
|
Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20166 |
|
 |
With the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) poised to normalize its interest-rate policy, shorter-term maturities appeared less attractive at the beginning of the reporting period due to a potential backup in short-term yields. However, subdued inflation expectations, due in part to low oil prices, combined with a fragile European economy and softening Chinese economy, implied that longer maturities would outperform. We, therefore, extended the Fund’s duration in anticipation of lower yields and also positioned the Fund for a flatter yield curve. The Fund’s yield-curve positioning, which was underweight maturities between one and four years and overweight the seven-year and greater area, helped results. Longer-term maturities outperformed shorter-term maturities by a wide margin because the municipal curve flattened almost 115 basis points (bps; 100 bps equals 1.00%) between the 1- and 10-year maturities.
The Fed tightened in December 2015 but signaled that the pace of further increases would be gradual. While the Fed was likely to take its time raising rates, U.S. inflation started to trend higher, unemployment remained below 5%, and economic growth was expected to remain at or above 2%, and we reduced duration as the market rallied. The Fund’s short duration hurt results because yields continued to decline. By the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s duration was about 1.5 years.

Credit-quality allocation helped results.
The Fund’s overweight to A-rated and BBB-rated debt and its out-of-benchmark holdings in high-yield and nonrated debt contributed to results because lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds by a wide margin during the period. The Fund’s holdings within the local GO, education, and corporate-backed sectors contributed to results. On the other hand, issue selection within the health care and electric revenue sectors detracted from results. We have been cautious within the health care sector for quite some time because we believe credit fundamentals have peaked. Overweight allocations to Illinois and New Jersey, two of the

best-performing states, helped results, while an underweight to California also benefited results because the state lagged the broader index. Although taxable corporate bond spreads increased dramatically during late 2015 and early 2016 as global fears spooked the market, spreads for corporate-backed municipal debt declined. We put on a relative-value trade by selling some corporate-backed municipal debt into this rally and buying taxable corporate debt. Corporate debt spreads then narrowed between February and May 2016, and we sold most of these taxable issues by the end of the reporting period.
Political noise and a lack of a state budget caused volatility within Illinois, but the state’s bonds had some of the highest returns. We have been overweight Illinois bonds for several years because we feel that the above-market income is compensating investors for the credit issues. We continue to believe that the state’s economic backdrop and ability to raise revenues, combined with Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner’s focus on cutting expenses, should ultimately lead to tighter spreads. New Jersey bonds also performed well as spreads tightened; however, issue selection within the state detracted from results, primarily due to our exposure to longer-dated floating-rate notes that repriced to reflect a protracted rate-hike cycle. During the past 12 months, Puerto Rico had several widely anticipated defaults on its debt. The lack of clarity surrounding the federal government’s restructuring legislation for Puerto Rico debt, the lack of financial statements, and a declining economy make it very hard to develop an investment opinion for the territory. As a result, we had minimal exposure to Puerto Rico bonds.
Rates may be lower for longer, making credit allocation and issue selection even more important.
Near the end of the reporting period, the U.K. voted to withdraw from the European Union, prompting considerable uncertainty about future political situations, financial markets, and economic growth. U.S. Treasuries and municipal bonds rallied significantly on the news, and both 10-year and 30-year municipal yields reached record-low levels. Although we think rates may stay lower for longer, we recognize that an improvement in overseas economies, outflows in mutual funds, or a more hawkish tone from the Fed could lead to a spike in rates. However, if the U.S. economy does weaken materially, this could be the catalyst for us to increase our duration exposure and reduce our credit exposure. In this record-low interest-rate environment, security selection is even more important as breakeven yields (the sell-off that a bond can endure before the total return drops to zero) decrease.

8 | | Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
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 Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
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), although a Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
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 principal 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 Fund’s Valuation Procedures.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Futures contracts
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | | | 37 | |
The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. At June 30, 2016, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:
| | |
Overdistributed net investment income | | Accumulated net realized gains on investments |
$381,355 | | $(381,355) |
As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had current year deferred post-October capital losses consisting of $1,483,657 in long-term losses which will be recognized on the first day of the following fiscal year.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.

3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

Futures contracts are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Fund at that date.
All other assets and liabilities are reported at their market value at measurement date.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1. The Fund had no material transfers between Level 2 and Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement.

| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | | | 39 | |
services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.40% and declining to 0.28% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.37% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Class B, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.82% for Class A shares, 1.57% for Class B shares, 1.57% for Class C shares, 0.68% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.48% for Institutional Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fees
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class B and Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to Class B and Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares.
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 year ended June 30, 2016, Funds Distributor received $20,894 from the sale of Class A shares.
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 the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2016 were $716,910,614 and $699,736,260, respectively.
The Fund may purchase or sell investment securities to other Wells Fargo funds under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which generally do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown.

6. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Fund entered into futures contracts to take advantage of the differences between municipal and treasury yields and to help manage the duration of the portfolio.
As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had short futures contracts outstanding as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Expiration date | | Counterparty | | Contracts | | Type | | | Contract Value at June 30, 2016 | | | Unrealized losses | |
9-21-2016 | | JPMorgan | | 650 Short | | | 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note | | | $ | 86,439,844 | | | $ | (2,347,394 | ) |
9-30-2016 | | JPMorgan | | 337 Short | | | 5-Year U.S. Treasury Note | | | | 41,169,289 | | | | (301,570 | ) |
The Fund had an average notional amount of $1,626,484 and $70,940,237 in long and short futures contracts, respectively, during the year ended June 30, 2016.
On June 30, 2016, the cumulative unrealized losses on futures contracts in the amount of $2,648,964 are reflected in net unrealized gains on investments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The receivable/payable for daily variation margin on open futures contracts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities only represents the current day’s variation margin. The realized losses and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are reflected in the Statement of Operations.
For certain types of derivative transactions, the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, if any, are reported separately in the Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | | Collateral received | | | Net amount of assets | |
Futures – variation margin | | JPMorgan | | $56,651 | | $ | (10,703 | ) | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 45,948 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Derivative type | | Counterparty | | Gross amounts of liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | | Collateral pledged | | | Net amount of liabilities | |
Futures – variation margin | | JPMorgan | | $10,703 | | $ | (10,703 | ) | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 0 | |
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 the Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to September 1, 2015, the revolving credit agreement amount was $150,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.10% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of the Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund (formerly known as Wells Fargo Advantage Strategic Municipal Bond Fund) (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting the Wells Fargo Funds Trust, as of June 30, 2016, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2016, by correspondence with custodians and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund as of June 30, 2016, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-25, 2016 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2016, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2016. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe.
| | | | | | |
Other information (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | | | 47 | |
The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was higher than the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than its benchmark, the Barclays Short-Intermediate Municipal Bond Index, for all periods under review except the one- and ten-year periods.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or in range of the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or in range of the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo and Funds Management profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
| | | | |
48 | | Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
Economies of Scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Wells Fargo Funds
In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) began normalizing monetary policy, raising the federal funds rate to between 0.25% and 0.50% in December 2015. Short-term municipal bond yields rose, but yields on longer-term bonds declined. In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, returned 7.65% during the 12-month reporting period.
Monetary policy was accommodative.
The Fed continued an easy monetary policy in order to support the economy and the financial system. However, it raised the federal funds target rate in December because it believed the U.S. economy was strong enough to begin normalizing monetary policy. The European Central Bank cut all three of its short-term rates during the reporting period, increased its asset-purchase program from 60 billion euros per month to 80 billion, expanded the list of eligible securities to include investment-grade nonbank debt, and created a fund-to-lend program where banks could be paid to lend money. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Despite accommodative central-bank policies that helped keep interest rates at ultra-low levels, there were periods of volatility. Early in 2016, weakness in certain emerging markets economies and commodities hurt riskier assets and a vote in June 2016 by the U.K. to exit the European Union set off another round of global uncertainty. Municipal bonds benefited because they are perceived as a safe-haven asset. In addition, investor demand for yield helped lower-rated debt outperform. The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index2 returned 12.09% during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016.
Strong demand, modest supply, and solid credit fundamentals supported municipals.
Market technicals remained favorable. According to the Investment Company Institute, more than $33 billion was allocated to municipal mutual funds during the first half of 2016, which was more than double the inflows during all of 2015. Further, inflows during the second quarter of 2016 were the largest in nearly seven years. In contrast, less new supply helped make 2015 the fifth calendar year of negative net supply and supply in the first half of 2016 was about 4% less than the same period last year.
Municipal credit quality remained on an uptrend despite a number of high-profile negative credit situations. Idiosyncratic credit risks remain, however. With regard to Puerto Rico, the U.S. enacted legislation that prohibits bondholder lawsuits temporarily and instills a fiscal oversight board for Puerto Rico; Puerto Rico then declared a moratorium on paying its general obligation (GO) bonds and defaulted on $911 million in payments due (most of which were GOs) on July 1, 2016.
1 | The Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index composed of long-term tax-exempt bonds with a minimum credit rating of Baa. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
2 | The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index measures the non-investment-grade and nonrated U.S. dollar–denominated, fixed-rate, tax-exempt bond market within the 50 United States and four other qualifying regions (Washington, D.C.; Puerto Rico; Guam; and the Virgin Islands). The index allows state and local general obligation, revenue, insured, and prerefunded bonds; however, historically the index has been composed of mostly revenue bonds.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund | | | 3 | |
The state of Illinois approved a six-month stopgap budget, a temporary but meaningful step. Under this stopgap budget for the state, the city of Chicago receives authority to raise property taxes for teacher pensions and low-income school districts would receive greater state funding. City of Chicago and school district debt rallied on the news.
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 trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appear to have functioned well over the past year with sufficient liquidity.

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 2.00%. 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.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest-rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to high-yield securities risk and municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays 1-Year Municipal Bond Index, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. |
n | | Security selection was the main detractor from performance. The Fund was overweight the outperforming industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue and hospital sectors, but its holdings within those sectors slightly underperformed the index. |
n | | Duration was significantly shorter than the benchmark’s duration because of the Fund’s ultra-short mandate, which helped results as short-term interest rates rose. Yield-curve positioning contributed to performance. At the front end, variable-rate demand note (VRDN) and floating-rate note (FRN) yields, with either daily or weekly coupon resets, benefited from higher short-term rates. Further out the curve, bond yields in the four- and five-year maturity range decreased, adding to performance. |
n | | An overweight to A-rated and BBB-rated bonds, combined with an underweight to higher-rated and prerefunded bonds, helped performance. |
In a period of ultralow yields, short-term rates rose and longer-term rates declined.
At the beginning of the period, the base-case projection for an increase in the federal funds target rate was late 2015, which made bonds with shorter-term maturities less attractive due to a potential backup in municipal rates as the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) normalized its interest-rate policy. Also, money market reform is scheduled to take effect in October 2016. As a result, demand for municipal-money-market eligible paper declined and yields on the very front end of the yield curve rose. Consequently, the municipal yield curve flattened due to the underperformance of the short end of the curve and the outperformance of the longer end of the curve. Inflows into municipal bond funds remained positive as yields in other parts of the world have drifted into negative territory and investors are looking for alternatives.

Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20166 |
|
 |
During the past year, we managed the Fund in a conservative manner from a duration perspective. We held duration short relative to the benchmark by keeping nearly half of the Fund invested in VRDNs and FRNs. We believe both of these structures have the potential to benefit from a rise in interest rates while maintaining fairly stable prices and high levels of liquidity and adding little duration. We like the defensive nature of these structures and intend to maintain an overweight exposure. The balance of the portfolio was invested in securities with maturities in the four- to five-year part of the curve. We believe the steepness of the front-end of the yield curve is likely to provide nice total return opportunities as the securities roll down the yield curve, benefiting from a natural increase in price as maturities shorten while potentially providing higher levels of income.

|
Credit quality as of June 30, 20167 |
|
 |
Credit-quality allocation helped results.
Lower-rated bonds on the shorter end of the yield curve did well during the past year. We believe lower-rated credits should continue to experience good performance as investors search for income and municipal credit trends improve. Some of our sector tactics included increasing the Fund’s exposure to short-term local general obligation bonds and corporate-backed municipal bonds because we believe near-term fundamentals continue to look favorable and yield spreads are attractive from a longer-term perspective. On the other hand, we have increased our exposure to housing bonds that are backed by an escrow invested in
Treasury bonds. This high-quality structure has provided a nice level of income while it increased the overall credit quality of the Fund.
Political noise and a lack of a state budget caused volatility within the state of Illinois, but the state’s bonds had some of the highest returns. We have been overweight Illinois bonds because we feel that the above-market income is compensating investors for the credit uncertainty. We continue to believe that the state’s economic backdrop and ability to raise revenues, combined with Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner’s focus on cutting expenses, should lead to tighter spreads. New Jersey bonds also performed well as spreads tightened. Finally, short-term insured Puerto Rico debt performed well over the period.
Rates may be lower for longer.
Near the end of the reporting period, the U.K. voted to withdraw from the European Union, prompting considerable uncertainty about future political situations, financial markets, and economic growth. U.S. Treasuries and municipal bonds rallied significantly on the news, and both 10-year and 30-year municipal yields reached record-low levels. It remains to be seen whether the spike down in rates is an overreaction. At this point, we still believe the U.S. economy should grow at about a 2% pace. With inflation close to the target 2% rate and the unemployment rate below 5%, it is clear that central-bank policies are keeping U.S. rates artificially low. Although we now think rates will stay lower for longer, we recognize that an improvement in overseas economies, outflows in mutual funds, or a more hawkish tone from the Fed could lead to an increase in rates.

8 | | Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
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.

Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund | | | 23 | |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
Effective at the close of business on October 23, 2015, Investor Class shares became Class A shares in a tax-free conversion. Shareholders of Investor Class 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 the Fund.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
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.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Futures contracts
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in security values and interest rates. The
| | | | |
24 | | Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
| | | | | | |

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016:

Futures contracts are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due from the Fund at that date. All other assets and liabilities are reported at their market value at measurement date.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1. The Fund had no material transfers between Level 2 and Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.35% and declining to 0.255% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.33% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.05% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class level administration fee | |
Class A, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Investor Class | | | 0.19 | |
| | | | |
26 | | Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.67% for Class A shares, 1.42% for Class C shares, 0.60% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.37% for Institutional Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
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.

cover obligations of the Fund under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, if any, will be reported separately in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, for the same purpose are noted in the Portfolio of Investments. With respect to balance sheet offsetting, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities to the net amounts by derivative type, including any collateral exposure, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-25, 2016 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2016, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2016. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance
| | | | | | |
Other information (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund | | | 33 | |
Universe. The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Class A) was lower than the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review except the ten-year period under review. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was lower than its benchmark, the Barclays 1 Year Municipal Bond Index (1-2), for all periods under review except for the ten-year period.
The Board received information concerning, and discussed factors contributing to, the underperformance of the Fund relative to the Universe and benchmark for the periods noted above. The Board took note of the explanations for the relative underperformance in these periods, including with respect to market factors and investment decisions that affected the Fund’s performance and of recent outperformance.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or in range of the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services.. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo and Funds Management profitability analysis.
| | | | |
34 | | Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) began normalizing monetary policy, raising the federal funds rate to between 0.25% and 0.50% in December 2015. Short-term municipal bond yields rose, but yields on longer-term bonds declined. In fact, yields on municipal bonds that matured in 10 years or more experienced yield declines of more than 100 basis points (100 basis points equals 1.00%) during the reporting period. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, returned 7.65% during the 12-month reporting period.
Monetary policy was accommodative.
The Fed continued an easy monetary policy in order to support the economy and the financial system. However, it raised the federal funds target rate in December because it believed the U.S. economy was strong enough to begin normalizing monetary policy. The European Central Bank cut all three of its short-term rates during the reporting period, increased its asset-purchase program from 60 billion euros per month to 80 billion, expanded the list of eligible securities to include investment-grade nonbank debt, and created a fund-to-lend program where banks could be paid to lend money. In Japan, the Bank of Japan maintained an aggressive monetary program aimed at combating deflation.
Despite accommodative central-bank policies that helped keep interest rates at ultra-low levels, there were periods of volatility. Early in 2016, weakness in certain emerging markets economies and commodities hurt riskier assets and a vote in June 2016 by the U.K. to exit the European Union set off another round of global uncertainty. Municipal bonds benefited because they are perceived as a safe-haven asset. In addition, investor demand for yield helped lower-rated debt outperform. The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index2 returned 12.09% during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016.
Strong demand, modest supply, and solid credit fundamentals supported municipals.
Market technicals remained favorable. According to the Investment Company Institute, more than $33 billion was allocated to municipal mutual funds during the first half of 2016, which was more than double the inflows during all of 2015. Further, inflows during the second quarter of 2016 were the largest in nearly seven years. In contrast, less new supply helped make 2015 the fifth calendar year of negative net supply and supply in the first half of 2016 was about 4% less than the same period last year.
Municipal credit quality remained on an uptrend despite a number of high-profile negative credit situations. Idiosyncratic credit risks remain, however. With regard to Puerto Rico, the U.S. enacted legislation that prohibits bondholder lawsuits temporarily and instills a fiscal oversight board for Puerto Rico; Puerto Rico then declared a moratorium on paying its general obligation (GO) bonds and defaulted on $911 million in payments due (most of which were GOs) on July 1, 2016. The state of Illinois approved a six-month stopgap budget, a temporary but meaningful

step. Under this stopgap budget for the state, the city of Chicago receives authority to raise property taxes for teacher pensions and low-income school districts would receive greater state funding. City of Chicago and school district debt rallied on the news.
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 trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appear to have functioned well over the past year with sufficient liquidity.
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,

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 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.
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 Wisconsin and Puerto Rico municipal securities risk, high-yield securities, and non-diversification risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

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 expense cap.

7 | The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and/or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the Fund’s portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the total market value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. If a security was rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by two of three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund underperformed its benchmarks, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index and the Barclays Wisconsin Municipal Bond Index, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. |
n | | Supply of Wisconsin double-tax-exempt (both national and state exempt) municipal debt was limited during the first half of the period. Therefore, in order to extend duration and also invest some cash, the Fund purchased longer-term national and short-term Virgin Island and Guam municipal issues. (Because the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam are U.S. territories, their debt is tax exempt.) |
n | | While we opportunistically extended the Fund’s duration when opportunities presented themselves, the Fund remained short duration and underweight the long end of the curve during the entire period. This detracted from performance as rates moved lower and the curve flattened. |
n | | As bond yields moved lower, investors continued their search for income. This caused lower-quality bonds to outperform. The Fund’s overweight to these types of bonds (as well as below-investment-grade) had the largest positive impact on relative performance. |
Ultralow yields continued throughout the period.
With the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) poised to normalize its interest-rate policy, shorter-term maturities between one and five years appeared less attractive at the beginning of the reporting period due to a potential backup in short-term yields. However, subdued inflation expectations, due in part to low oil prices, combined with a fragile European economy and softening Chinese economy, implied that longer maturities would outperform. The Fed tightened in December 2015 but signaled that the pace of further increases would be gradual.
While the Fed was likely to take its time raising rates, U.S. inflation started to trend higher, unemployment remained below 5%, and economic growth was expected to remain at or above 2%. We initially purchased some longer-dated, national municipal debt to extend the Fund’s duration but later allowed duration to drift lower as the market rallied and U.S. inflation measures started to move higher. Our below-benchmark duration exposure hurt relative performance during the period as U.S. rates moved lower in sympathy with declining global interest rates.
| | |
Credit quality as of June 30, 20167 |
|
 |
Credit-quality allocation helped results.
The Fund’s overweight to A-rated and BBB-rated debt and its out-of-benchmark holdings in high-yield and nonrated debt contributed to results because lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds by a wide margin during the period. Our exposure to some lower-quality Wisconsin health care issuers and a local charter school were some of the Fund’s best-performing issues. Other issues that performed well included longer-dated, double-tax-exempt Wisconsin issues and also several of the national issues, such as Chicago Sales Tax, New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund Authority, and Illinois Sports Facilities Authority. While the national municipal bonds
do not generate state-exempt income, they produced some of the Fund’s highest total returns. We sold some of them as we found opportunities to reinvest in double-tax-exempt issues. For example, we bought Wisconsin Center District bonds, which were issued to help finance the new arena for the Milwaukee Bucks and were backed by an appropriation from the state of Wisconsin.
With continued uncertainty surrounding Puerto Rico, our exposure has drifted lower as the shorter-term bonds we own mature. The Fund continues to focus its exposure within Puerto Rico on shorter-term, insured bonds or dedicated revenue bonds. However, we increased our exposure to the Virgin Islands and Guam bonds. Our focus within these two territories is similar to the approach we took in Puerto Rico, buying shorter-insured bonds or bonds backed by dedicated revenue streams.

Wisconsin’s financial position is expected to remain stable.
Following the significant budgetary improvement resulting in operating surpluses over the prior three years, Wisconsin posted an anticipated deficit during the most recent fiscal year as stagnant revenues were overcome by increasing expenses. Despite the deficit, the budget stabilization fund remained steady and is expected to do so moving forward. Additionally, the remainder of the current biennium budget is expected to be balanced as economic growth drives improved revenue collections. When faced with softening revenues, the state legislature has shown the willingness to make the difficult spending cuts necessary to maintain fiscal balance and stabilize the state’s financial position. Debt levels have been stable, and the pension system continues to be fully funded. From an economic perspective, the state’s economy appears to be performing in line with national averages, economic growth has lagged the rest of the nation as the recovery in manufacturing jobs has been weak, and population growth is roughly half of the national average.
Rates may be lower for longer, making credit allocation and issue selection even more important.
Near the end of the reporting period, the U.K. voted to withdraw from the European Union, prompting considerable uncertainty about future political situations, financial markets, and economic growth. U.S. Treasuries and municipal bonds rallied significantly on the news, and both 10-year and 30-year municipal yields reached record-low levels. Although we think rates may stay lower for longer, we recognize that an improvement in overseas economies, outflows in mutual funds, or a more hawkish tone from the Fed could lead to a spike in rates. However, if the U.S. economy does

weaken materially, this could be the catalyst for us to increase our duration exposure and reduce our credit exposure. In this record-low interest-rate environment, security selection is even more important as breakeven yields (the sell-off that a bond can endure before the total return drops to zero) decrease.

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 January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

20 | | Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a non-diversified series of the Trust.
Effective at the close of business on October 23, 2015, Investor Class shares became Class A shares in a tax-free conversion. Shareholders of Investor Class 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 the Fund.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although a Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
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 Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund | | | 21 | |
may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |
Assets | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Investments in: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
Municipal obligations | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 169,452,580 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 169,452,580 | |
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.40% and declining to 0.28% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
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 Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.70% for Class A shares and 1.45% for Class C shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the year ended June 30, 2016, Funds Distributor received $2,810 from the sale of Class A shares and $779 in contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C, and Investor Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2016 were $36,734,371 and $22,891,727, respectively.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund | | | 23 | |
The Fund may purchase or sell investment securities to other Wells Fargo funds under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which generally do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown.
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 Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to September 1, 2015, the revolving credit agreement amount was $150,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.10% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended June 30 | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 140 | | | $ | 896,413 | |
Tax-exempt income | | | 3,620,411 | | | | 3,238,756 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 49,214 | | | | 594,345 | |
As of June 30, 2016, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Unrealized gains |
$152,828 | | $19,112 | | $7,930,325 |
8. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or territories of the U.S. Therefore, it may be more affected by economic and political developments in that state or region than would be a comparable general tax-exempt fund.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-25, 2016 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2016, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2016. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board
| | | | | | |
Other information (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund | | | 29 | |
received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Class A) was higher than the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review except the five-year period under review. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was lower than its benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo and Funds Management profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Wells Fargo Funds
During much of the period, global equity, bond, and currency markets were volatile as recessionary pressures and diverging central bank policies concerned investors.
During the fourth quarter of 2015, Japan’s economy contracted, China’s manufacturing sector retrenched, and growth appeared to slow in Europe.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Alternative Strategies Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. During much of the period, global equity, bond, and currency markets were volatile as recessionary pressures and diverging central bank policies concerned investors. As the period ended, voters in the U.K. approved a referendum to leave the European Union, injecting new uncertainty into the markets and sending stock prices and bond yields significantly lower. Equity markets soon recovered to varying degrees, but bond prices remained elevated and yields lower as investors sought lower-volatility assets due to short-term fears.
Shifting investor sentiment reflected changing economic and business data.
Early in the period, oil prices declined after a spring 2015 rally, negotiations about Greece’s ability to repay its sovereign debt grew contentious, and the U.S. dollar strengthened. By July 2015, equity markets were declining, led by stocks in China, which endured the largest one-day drop in eight years on July 27, 2015.
The S&P 500 Index,1 a common measure of U.S. stock performance, fell into correction territory—defined as a loss of 10% or more—during August 2015 before recovering somewhat. The index retested its August lows in late September 2015 before recovering most of its year-to-date losses from October through December 2015. As anticipated, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) increased the federal funds rate in December and suggested that it planned to pursue additional increases in 2016. During the first six weeks of 2016, the index suffered the worst loss to open a year on record before trending higher. By the end of the 12-month reporting period, the index recorded a 3.99% gain.
Overseas, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index (ACWI) ex USA Index (Net)2 and the MSCI Emerging Markets (EM) Index (Net)3 recorded negative returns. In August 2015, China allowed its currency’s value to decline in an attempt to bolster exports. The U.S. dollar strengthened, which negatively affected investment returns and U.S. corporate profits earned overseas. During the fourth quarter of 2015, Japan’s economy contracted, China’s manufacturing sector retrenched, and growth appeared to slow in Europe.
Global equity markets hit low points before starting to rebound in the middle of February 2016 when business data improved and central bankers reasserted their commitment to initiatives intended to encourage economic activity. The European Central Bank (ECB) pushed the deposit interest-rate further into negative territory. The Bank of Japan (BOJ) followed the ECB’s lead by setting a negative deposit rate. Negative deposit interest rates are intended to encourage banks to lend assets rather than keep them on deposit. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) reduced reserve ratios, which also was intended to encourage lending. The ECB expanded its bond-buying program, which injects liquidity into the markets and encourages investment.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Alternative Strategies Fund | | | 3 | |
For the 12-month reporting period, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) and MSCI EM Index (Net) recorded returns of -10.24% and -12.06%, respectively.
A December federal funds rate increase marked divergence of central bank policies.
Bond markets were volatile as well. The Fed’s decision to tighten credit conditions through higher interest rates contrasted with actions by the ECB, the PBOC, and the BOJ. Data released in January 2016 indicated that U.S. corporate profits fell in the fourth quarter of 2015, the second consecutive quarter of decline. The Fed expressed hesitancy about additional credit tightening in the near term, which investors appeared to read as accommodative of business activity. Overall, policy actions of central banks and intermittently positive economic data heartened investors as the period drew to a close.
Bond markets, particularly international bonds, benefited during the period, with the Barclays Global Aggregate ex U.S. Dollar Bond Index4 gaining 11.24% and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index5 gaining 6.00%.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment 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 with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,

Karla M. Rabusch

* | | Total return differs from the return in the Financial Highlights in this report. The total return presented is calculated based on the NAV at which shareholder transactions were processed. The NAV and total return presented in the Financial Highlights reflects certain adjustments made to the net assets of the Fund that are necessary under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. |
Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wellsfargofunds.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 5.75%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent 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.
The Fund does not invest directly in hedge funds but pursues similar strategies to those typically used by hedge funds. The Fund invests using alternative investment strategies such as equity hedged, event driven, global macro, and relative value, which are speculative and entail a high degree of risk. 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. 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. Borrowing money to purchase securities or cover short positions magnifies losses and incurs expenses. Short selling is generally considered speculative, has the potential for unlimited loss, and may involve leverage. 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 high-yield securities risk, mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, convertible securities risk, loan risk, regulatory risk, and smaller-company securities risk. Consult a Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report, which do not include acquired fund fees and expenses. |
2 | The manager has contractually committed through October 31, 2016, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 2.22% for Class A, 2.97% for Class C, 2.07% for Administrator Class, and 1.97% for Institutional Class. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, prime broker fees, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense cap. Acquired fund fees and expenses incurred by investments made by The Rock Creek Group, LP, a subadviser of the Fund, are included in the expense cap.

MANAGERS’ DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. The Fund also underperformed the Credit Suisse Liquid Alternatives Beta Index. (The Fund invests assets across a number of alternative investment strategies in an effort to achieve relatively low sensitivity and low volatility relative to major equity markets. It thus benchmarks itself against the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, despite investing in a number of equity strategies.) |
n | | A general flight away from volatility benefited the Fund’s fixed-income benchmark but led to losses from the Fund’s two most directional strategies: equity hedged and event driven. |
n | | The trend-following component within the global macro sleeve, which tends to be least correlated with market direction, was the single largest contributor to Fund performance. |
n | | The Fund’s underlying subadvisors decreased the market sensitivity of their portfolios in line with our market outlook, but strategy allocations were mostly unchanged. |
Markets were quite volatile over the past 12 months, driven by worries over the Chinese economy; lower commodity prices; negative interest rates; and, most recently, the fallout from the Brexit referendum vote by which voters in the U.K. decided to exit the European Union. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index (Net)6 declined 2.8% for the period, with considerable variance across regions. The MSCI Europe, Asia, Far East (EAFE) Index7 was down more than 10% and emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets (EM) Index (Net),8 were down more than 12%, versus a 4% gain for the S&P 500 Index.9 Commodity markets were volatile, with oil ending lower while the Brexit paved the way for significant weakening in the British pound and strengthened the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen. Meanwhile, fixed-income yields on most sovereign and higher-quality corporate bonds continued to trend lower as investors gravitated toward bonds with relatively low credit risk.
The equity hedged sleeve was the largest detractor from performance for the Fund. The U.S. equity market saw a massive rotation to value as evidenced by strong outperformance of the utilities and telecommunication services sectors, which were underweighted in the Fund. Subadvisors with a growth bias were more negatively affected by this rotation of capital. In particular, financials sector investments saw sharp drawdowns as a result of increasing uncertainty about future interest rates in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. Global equity hedged strategies with a long bias toward Europe and Japan were weighed down by China-related fears throughout the period and by volatility following the Brexit vote. These losses were partially offset by short exposure to energy- and materials-related stocks, as well as emerging markets stocks. Additionally, long positions in U.S. consumer stocks outperformed on the back of lower oil prices and signs of an improving labor market.

We continue to have a bias toward equity hedged and relative value strategies that rely on fundamental-based research to identify high- and low-quality companies to go long and sell short. Unfortunately, with ongoing central bank intervention and episodic deleveraging, the past 12-month period did not witness any meaningful outperformance by strong secular growth stocks over those with poorer earnings quality. This market environment affected both the equity hedged and relative value sleeves. However, we believe that the Fund’s equity hedged and relative value sleeves now incorporate significant embedded value and are well-positioned to benefit as prices converge with fundamentals.
We maintained a relatively low weight to the event-driven strategy throughout the period based on a conviction that special situation value equities and credit securities would underperform in an environment of slow and uncertain economic growth. While the event driven

strategy did detract from performance, its impact was contained by the lower allocation. Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) positioning was profitable in the second half of the period but the strategy was unable to regain the ground lost earlier in the year on corporate credit and deep-value equities. We believe the risk/reward trade-off in corporate credit remains poor, and we have shifted more of the Fund’s exposure to structured credit opportunities. Non-agency RMBS credit fundamentals have improved since 2008 as homeowners have accumulated more equity in their homes. Non-agency RMBS are typically low-duration securities with low sensitivity to interest rates, making them more attractive at this time relative to other fixed-income sectors.
Performance within the global macro sleeve was mixed, with commodity trading advisor (CTA) allocations generating strong results that were offset by losses from valuation-driven models. Losses came predominantly from equity positions, notably long the Japanese TOPIX and German DAX markets and short the S&P 500 Index. The Japanese equity market is currently trading at a discount relative to other developed markets partly because of fatigue Abenomics. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s policies intended to spark economic growth and partly because of a strengthening yen that has fueled doubts about the country’s ability to overcome its deflation troubles. Europe was showing signs of economic improvement despite China’s economic slowdown but now has had to contend with uncertainty and fallout of the Brexit vote. On the other hand, CTA models benefited from strong trends that persisted through the year. Early in the year, short positioning in energy-related commodities was profitable but the subsequent upturn in oil prices reversed some of those gains. Contributing to performance were long gold and short emerging markets currency positions. Long yen and short British pound and euro positions were additive at the end of the year.

Strategy allocation as of June 30, 201611 |

The Fund’s subadvisors have maintained conviction in most of their core positions but have tempered conviction by increasing portfolio hedges. As a result, the Fund’s gross exposure has been fairly steady while its net exposure has gradually trended down over the past year. This is consistent with our macro perspective that it is prudent to take less directional exposure because of the headwinds to global growth and unusually high valuations in the U.S. At present, the S&P 500 Index is trading at about a 25 times price/earnings multiple, which is a higher multiple than it has been for 90% of the time in the past eight decades. Easy monetary policy appears to be nearing its limits to inflate the prices of risk assets. We believe the Fund is well-positioned to resume generating strong risk-adjusted returns as the effects of central bank stimulus moderate and markets start reflecting corporate fundamentals.

8 | | Wells Fargo Alternative Strategies Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.
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.

40 | | Wells Fargo Alternative Strategies Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Alternative Strategies Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
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), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Equity securities, options 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 principal 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 Fund’s Valuation Procedures.
Non-listed options, swaps and exotics (i.e. caps, floors, etc.) are valued at the evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”).
Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange and therefore may not fully reflect trading or events that occur after the close of the principal exchange in which the foreign securities are traded, but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. If such trading or events are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, then fair value pricing procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund 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 June 30, 2016, such fair value pricing was 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.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team. The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.

Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadvisers. 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 Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values 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.
Forward foreign currency contracts
The Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund enters into forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities and to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. Forward foreign currency contracts are recorded at the forward rate and marked-to-market daily. When the contracts are closed, realized gains and losses arising from such transactions are recorded as realized gains or losses on forward foreign currency contract transactions. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the unrealized gains on the contracts. This risk may be mitigated if there is a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Futures contracts
The 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Options
The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may write covered call options or secured put options on individual securities and/or indexes. When the Fund writes an option, an
| | | | |
42 | | Wells Fargo Alternative Strategies Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the written option. Premiums received from written options that expire unexercised are recognized as realized gains on the expiration date. For exercised options, the difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as a realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in calculating the realized gain or loss on the sale. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost of the security purchased. The Fund, as a writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security and/or index underlying the written option.
The Fund may also purchase call or put options. The premium is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment, the value of which is subsequently adjusted based on the current market value of the option. Premiums paid for purchased options that expire are recognized as realized losses on the expiration date. Premiums paid for purchased options that are exercised or closed are added to the amount paid or offset against the proceeds received for the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. The risk of loss associated with purchased options is limited to the premium paid.
Options traded on an exchange are regulated and terms of the options are standardized. Purchased options traded over-the-counter expose the Fund to counterparty risk in the event the counterparty does not perform. This risk can be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
Short sales
The Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security (short sale). When the Fund makes a short sale, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the buyer. The Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of replacement.
The Fund records the proceeds as a liability which is marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or an independent broker-dealer and any change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Any interest or dividends accrued on such borrowed securities during the period of the loan are recorded as an expense on the Statement of Operations. To borrow the security, the Fund may be required to pay a premium, which would decrease the proceeds of the security sold. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the closing of a short sale if the market price at the closing is less than or greater than, respectively, the proceeds originally received. Until the short sale is closed or the borrowed security is replaced, the Fund maintains a segregated account of cash or liquid securities, the dollar value of which is at least equal to the market value of the security at the time of the short sale.
Credit default swaps
The Fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may enter into credit default swap contracts for hedging or speculative purposes to provide or receive a measure of protection against default on a referenced entity, obligation or index or for investment gains. Credit default swaps involve an exchange of a stream of payments for protection against the loss in value of an underlying security or index. Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a guarantor (referred to as the seller of protection) and receives a periodic stream of payments, provided that there is no credit event, from another party (referred to as the buyer of protection) that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount over the term of the swap. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if a credit event is triggered, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. A credit event includes bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation default, obligation acceleration, repudiation/moratorium, and restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps as either the seller of protection or the buyer of protection. As the seller of protection, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap and has assumed the risk of default of the underlying security or index. As the buyer of protection, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the seller of the protection defaults on its obligation to perform, or if there are unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as the seller of protection could be required to make under the credit default swap contract would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap contract. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
If the Fund is the seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will pay to the buyer of protection the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Alternative Strategies Fund | | | 43 | |
referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If the Fund is the buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will receive from the seller of protection the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
Any premiums paid or received on the transactions are recorded as an asset or liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized. The value of the swap contract is marked-to-market daily based on quotations from an independent pricing service or an independent broker-dealer and any change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Periodic payments made or received are recorded as realized gains or losses. In addition, payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized as realized gains or losses.
Certain credit default swap contracts entered into by the Fund provide for conditions that result in events of default or termination that enable the counterparty to the agreement to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty to terminate early may impact the amounts reported on the financial statements.
Total return swaps
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may enter into total return swap contracts for hedging or speculative purposes. Total return swaps involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from, or make a payment to, the counterparty.
The value of the swap contract is marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or an independent broker-dealer and any change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Periodic payments made or received are recorded as realized gains or losses. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparty defaults on its obligation to perform, or if there are unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or in the price of the underlying security or index. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
Certain total return swap contracts entered into by the Fund provide for conditions that result in events of default or termination that enable the counterparty to the agreement to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty to terminate early may impact the amounts reported on the financial statements.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the custodian verifies the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
| | | | |
44 | | Wells Fargo Alternative Strategies Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications are due to certain distributions paid, dividends from certain securities, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, and securities sold short. At June 30, 2016, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:
| | | | |
Paid-in capital | | Accumulated net investment loss | | Accumulated net realized losses on investments |
$(852,321) | | $505,374 | | $346,947 |
As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had current year deferred post-October capital losses and a qualified late-year ordinary loss which will both be recognized on the first day of the following fiscal year in the following amounts:
| | | | |
Deferred post-October capital losses | | Late-year ordinary losses deferred |
Short-term | | Long-term | |
$(1,239,705) | | $(621,036) | | $(1,283,264) |
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
| | | | | | |

Forward foreign currency contracts are reported at their unrealized gains (losses) at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. Futures contracts are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Fund at that date. Swap contracts consists of unrealized gains (losses) and premiums paid or received on swap contracts, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. All other assets and liabilities are reported at their market value at measurement date.
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2016, fair value pricing was used in pricing certain foreign securities and securities in long positions valued at $13,374,984 were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES

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 the Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.20% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to September 1, 2015, the revolving credit agreement amount was $150,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.10% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
The Fund also had a committed credit facility to provide leverage for investment purposes. The credit facility had a commitment amount of $10 million which expired on March 2, 2016. During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not borrow under the credit facility but paid a commitment fee at an annual rate equal to 0.25% on the unutilized portion of the credit facility.
During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not borrow under either credit facility.
8. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended June 30 | | | Year ended July 31, 2014** | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015* | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 3,032,012 | | | $ | 1,057,252 | | | $ | 0 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 1,232,977 | | | | 501,247 | | | | 0 | |
* | For the eleven months ended June 30, 2015. The Fund changed its fiscal year end from July 31 to June 30, effective June 30, 2015. |
** | For the period from April 30, 2014 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2014 |
As of June 30, 2016, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Unrealized losses | | Late-year ordinary losses deferred | | Post-October capital losses deferred |
$(248,363) | | $(1,283,264) | | $(1,860,741) |
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2016, by correspondence with custodians and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-25, 2016 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Alternative Strategies Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement with The Rock Creek Group LP (“Rock Creek”), an affiliate of Funds Management; (iii) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Rock Creek and Chilton Investment Company, LLC (“Chilton”); (iv) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Rock Creek and Mellon Capital Management Corporation (“Mellon”); (v) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Rock Creek and Passport Capital, LLC (“Passport”); (vi) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Rock Creek and Pine River Capital Management L.P. (“Pine River”); (vii) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Rock Creek and River Canyon Fund Management LLC (“River Canyon”); (viii) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Rock Creek and Sirios Capital Management, L.P. (“Sirios”); and (ix) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Rock Creek and Wellington Management Company, LLC (“Wellington”). The sub-advisory agreements with Rock Creek, Chilton, Mellon, Passport, Pine River, River Canyon, Sirios, and Wellington (the “Sub-Advisers”) are collectively referred to as the “Sub-Advisory Agreements,” and the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2016, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2016. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
| | | | | | |
Other information (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Alternative Strategies Fund | | | 59 | |
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was higher than the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, for all periods under review. The Board noted the short performance history of the Fund.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than, equal to, or in range of the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to each of the Sub-Advisers for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were higher than the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes. The Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than, equal to, or in range of the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Advisers for sub-advisory services. The Board considered this amount in comparison to the median amount retained by advisers to funds in a sub-advised expense universe that was determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Advisers, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and Rock Creek, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them. The Board also considered that the sub-advisory fees paid to Chilton, Mellon, Passport, Pine River, River Canyon, Sirios and Wellington had been negotiated by Funds Management on an arm’s length basis.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.

Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreements was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of Rock Creek from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that Rock Creek’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo and Funds Management profitability analysis. The Board did not receive or consider profitability information with respect to Chilton, Mellon, Passport, Pine River, River Canyon, Sirios and Wellington, as the sub-advisory fees paid to them had been negotiated by Funds Management on an arm’s-length basis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management, the Sub-Advisers, and their affiliates as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Advisers’ business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by Chilton, Passport, Pine River, River Canyon, Sirios and Wellington, fees earned by Funds Management and its affiliate from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management, the Sub-Advisers, and their affiliates were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Wells Fargo Funds
During much of the period, global equity, bond, and currency markets were volatile as recessionary pressures and diverging central bank policies concerned investors.
During the fourth quarter of 2015, Japan’s economy contracted, China’s manufacturing sector retrenched, and growth appeared to slow in Europe.
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. During much of the period, global equity, bond, and currency markets were volatile as recessionary pressures and diverging central bank policies concerned investors. As the period ended, voters in the U.K. approved a referendum to leave the European Union, injecting new uncertainty into the markets and sending stock prices and bond yields significantly lower. Equity markets soon recovered to varying degrees, but bond prices remained elevated and yields lower as investors sought lower-volatility assets due to short-term fears.
Shifting investor sentiment reflected changing economic and business data.
Early in the period, oil prices declined after a spring 2015 rally, negotiations about Greece’s ability to repay its sovereign debt grew contentious, and the U.S. dollar strengthened. By July 2015, equity markets were declining, led by stocks in China, which endured the largest one-day drop in eight years on July 27, 2015.
The S&P 500 Index,1 a common measure of U.S. stock performance, fell into correction territory—defined as a loss of 10% or more—during August 2015 before recovering somewhat. The index retested its August lows in late September 2015 before recovering most of its year-to-date losses from October through December 2015. As anticipated, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) increased the federal funds rate in December and suggested that it planned to pursue additional increases in 2016. During the first six weeks of 2016, the index suffered the worst loss to open a year on record before trending higher. By the end of the 12-month reporting period, the index recorded a 3.99% gain.
Overseas, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index (ACWI) ex USA Index (Net)2 and the MSCI Emerging Markets (EM) Index (Net)3 recorded negative returns. In August 2015, China allowed its currency’s value to decline in an attempt to bolster exports. The U.S. dollar strengthened, which negatively affected investment returns and U.S. corporate profits earned overseas. During the fourth quarter of 2015, Japan’s economy contracted, China’s manufacturing sector retrenched, and growth appeared to slow in Europe.
Global equity markets hit low points before starting to rebound in the middle of February 2016 when business data improved and central bankers reasserted their commitment to initiatives intended to encourage economic activity. The European Central Bank (ECB) pushed the deposit interest-rate further into negative territory. The Bank of Japan (BOJ) followed the ECB’s lead by setting a negative deposit rate. Negative deposit interest rates are intended to encourage banks to lend assets rather than keep them on deposit. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) reduced reserve ratios, which also was intended to encourage lending. The ECB expanded its bond-buying program, which injects liquidity into the markets and encourages investment.

For the 12-month reporting period, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) and MSCI EM Index (Net) recorded returns of -10.24% and -12.06%, respectively.
A December federal funds rate increase marked divergence of central bank policies.
Bond markets were volatile as well. The Fed’s decision to tighten credit conditions through higher interest rates contrasted with actions by the ECB, the PBOC, and the BOJ. Data released in January 2016 indicated that U.S. corporate profits fell in the fourth quarter of 2015, the second consecutive quarter of decline. The Fed expressed hesitancy about additional credit tightening in the near term, which investors appeared to read as accommodative of business activity. Overall, policy actions of central banks and intermittently positive economic data heartened investors as the period drew to a close.
Bond markets, particularly international bonds, benefited during the period, with the Barclays Global Aggregate ex U.S. Dollar Bond Index4 gaining 11.24% and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index5 gaining 6.00%.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment 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 with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wellsfargofunds.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 5.75%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent 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. There are numerous risks associated with transactions in options on securities. Borrowing money to purchase securities or cover short positions magnifies losses and incurs expenses. Short selling is generally considered speculative, has the potential for unlimited loss, and may involve leverage. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to regulatory and smaller-company securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

MANAGERS’ DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
n | | The Fund underperformed its benchmark the Global Long/Short Composite Index for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2016. (The Fund’s securities were either held long, as in securities owned by the fund, or sold short, as in the sale of borrowed securities.) The Fund’s underperformance was due primarily to notable stock-specific losses in each region globally during an unusually volatile period for global equities characterized by persistent momentum trading rather than a focus on fundamental value. |
n | | Overall attribution gains primarily from long and short positions in the U.K. and China, as well as regional equity hedges globally and hedges of European and Japanese currency risk, were more than offset by losses in stock positions primarily in Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, and Italy, as well as underweights in U.S. equities. |
n | | Notable gains were generated among consumer durables and producer manufacturing industries, but they were more than offset by stock positions in finance, consumer nondurables, and technology services. |
n | | We continue to find fundamental long and short stock investment ideas as overall macroeconomic volatility persists, primarily across Asia and Europe. |
While the Fund underperformed its benchmark during this period, we believe that our fundamental research-driven long and short positions will accrue value as global equity markets begin to normalize, rewarding fundamental valuations more than momentum. Results were derived from our research and risk management processes as we focused on fundamentals among nonconsensus ideas and sought low valuations underpinned by well-researched risk management.
Overall, Fund net exposures have concentrated across developed markets—notably Japan, the U.K., Hong Kong, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands—with lower exposures across emerging markets other than China and South Korea. As we look globally, we continue to find compelling values internationally as the impacts of self-help restructuring, targeted regional reforms, and reflationary efforts allow select companies to engage in differentiated actions to potentially generate shareholder value, while others remain mired in unsustainable and uncompetitive business models more vulnerable to adverse volatility. At the same time, we recognize that a transition to more normalized monetary policy in the U.S. relative to expanding monetary and credit easing in Europe and the U.K., in particular, places pressures on domestic currencies. This contributes to our partial hedges of foreign-exchange risk of net long exposures in European and British currency-denominated net equity exposures. We covered our Japanese yen hedges early in 2016 based on a determination of diminishing returns from Japanese efforts to deflate its local currency.

Strong performance from international equity markets in the U.K. and China and hedges in Japan, non-Japan Asia, Europe, and Canada helped add to overall returns. Performance of those positions was notably enhanced by net long exposure in individual stocks that are consumption and financial reform beneficiaries as well as self-help restructuring-oriented developments. Top-performing long positions included Rheinmetall AG in Germany; Alphabet Incorporated in the U.S.; Daiwa House Industry Company, Limited, Coca-Cola East Japan Company, Limited, in Japan; and Xinyi Glass Holdings Limited in China. Top-performing stock shorts included a French automaker, a Swedish consumer discretionary

investment, a Japanese department store, and an unrelated trading company, as well as a U.S. asset manager. These gains were more than offset by losses from longs in Nomura Holdings, Incorporated; Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Incorporated; Volkswagen AG; Hitachi, Limited; and China Everbright Limited, while losses from shorts were limited, largely composed of diversified shorts in expensive and vulnerable European and Japanese staples stocks.
Difficult performance during the past two quarters was exacerbated by extreme liquidations of Japanese equities during the first quarter of 2016 as investors grappled with the implications of negative interest rates for financial services industry profitability and a surprise U.K. referendum voting in favor of exiting the European Union (E.U.) during the second quarter of 2016. We expect this volatility to create long and short opportunities for us globally.

Divergences in economies and markets create equity investment opportunities.
As we look forward at risks and opportunities, we continue to witness wide divergences in regional and national economies and policymaker actions as well as corporate prospects in an environment of increased differentiation between public equities within sectors and regions. In the U.K., Europe, China/Hong Kong, and Japan markets, there is a growing gulf separating reform-minded and shareholder-sensitive companies from other companies that we view as being in secular decline. In developed markets, a number of firms continue to stand out positively for their self-imposed restructurings and efforts to enhance profitability, while others are more challenged, unable to confront adverse headwinds from more competitive markets and/or moderating business trends.
We expect sustained volatility attributable to instability in the E.U.’s efforts to manage the economic and monetary union, China’s ability to gradually experiment with and progress toward a more market-oriented financial market, and Japan’s efforts to reflate its domestic economy to create additional long and short opportunities. In our view, a ready European Central Bank focused on helping contain credit risks arising from apparently intractable negotiations between Greece and its creditors; Chinese central authorities committed to easing the strains of deleveraging by promoting domestic consumption and financial reforms; and Japanese officials coordinating monetary, fiscal, and structural reform efforts to positively stimulate local investor sentiment all will provide the macro backdrop for continued market volatility that may reward fundamental stock pickers who can distinguish between fair market values and true micro fundamentals.

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 January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

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

20 | | Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
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), although a Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Equity securities and options 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 principal 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 Fund’s Valuation Procedures.
Non-listed options are valued at the evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Management Valuation Team of Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”).
Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange and therefore may not fully reflect trading or events that occur after the close of the principal exchange in which the foreign securities are traded, but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. If such trading or events are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, then fair value pricing procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund 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 June 30, 2016, such fair value pricing was used in pricing foreign securities.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team. The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements | | Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund | | | 21 | |
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 Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values 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.
Forward foreign currency contracts
The Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund enters into forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities and to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. Forward foreign currency contracts are recorded at the forward rate and marked-to-market daily. When the contracts are closed, realized gains and losses arising from such transactions are recorded as realized gains or losses on forward foreign currency contract transactions. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the unrealized gains on the contracts. This risk may be mitigated if there is a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty.
Options
The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may write covered call options or secured put options on individual securities and/or indexes. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the written option. Premiums received from written options that expire unexercised are recognized as realized gains on the expiration date. For exercised options, the difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as a realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in calculating the realized gain or loss on the sale. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost of the security purchased. The Fund, as a writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security and/or index underlying the written option.
The Fund may also purchase call or put options. The premium is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment, the value of which is subsequently adjusted based on the current market value of the option. Premiums paid for purchased options that expire are recognized as realized losses on the expiration date. Premiums paid for purchased options that are exercised or closed are added to the amount paid or offset against the proceeds received for the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. The risk of loss associated with purchased options is limited to the premium paid.
Options traded on an exchange are regulated and terms of the options are standardized. Purchased options traded over-the-counter expose the Fund to counterparty risk in the event the counterparty does not perform. This risk can be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
Short sales
The Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security (short sale). When the Fund makes a short sale, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the buyer. The Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of replacement.
The Fund records the proceeds as a liability which is marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or from brokers, which use prices provided by market makers, and any change in value is
| | | | |
22 | | Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Any interest or dividends accrued on such borrowed securities during the period of the loan are recorded as an expense on the Statement of Operations. To borrow the security, the Fund may be required to pay a premium, which would decrease the proceeds of the security sold. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the closing of a short sale if the market price at the closing is less than or greater than, respectively, the proceeds originally received. Until the short sale is closed or the borrowed security is replaced, the Fund maintains a segregated account of cash or liquid securities, the dollar value of which is at least equal to the market value of the security at the time of the short sale.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the custodian verifies the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
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.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the fiscal years since commencement of operations will be subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. The Fund is not subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities for tax years before 2014, the year the Fund commenced operations.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications are due to foreign currency transactions and recognition of partnership income. At June 30, 2016, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:
| | |
Accumulated net investment loss | | Accumulated net realized losses on investments |
$(37,152) | | $37,152 |
As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consist of $97,711 in short-term capital losses and $234,944 in long-term capital losses.
As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had a qualified late-year ordinary loss of $325 which will be recognized on the first day of the following fiscal year.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy

gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
n | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016:

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser, providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations, and providing any other fund-level administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 1.30% and declining to 1.13% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 1.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 1.00% and declining to 0.90% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A, Class C | | | 0.21 | % |
Administrator Class, Institutional Class | | | 0.13 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2016 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 1.75% for Class A shares, 2.50% for Class C shares, 1.65% for Administrator Class shares and 1.45% for Institutional Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Prime broker fees and dividend expense on securities sold short are excluded from the expense caps.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the year ended June 30, 2016, Funds Distributor received $72 from the sale of Class A shares.

26 | | Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund | | Notes to financial statements |
For certain types of derivative transactions, the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, if any, are reported separately in the Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities | | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | | Collateral received | | | Net amount of assets | |

Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund as of June 30, 2016, and the results of its operations for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and the period from November 28, 2014 (commencement of operations) to June 30, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-25, 2016 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2016, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2016. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Funds Management, and the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund performance and expenses
The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board considered these results in comparison to the performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe.
| | | | |
32 | | Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
The Board noted that the performance of the Fund (Administrator Class A) was lower than the average performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was lower than its benchmark, the Global Long/Short Composite Index, for all periods under review. The Board noted the short performance history of the Fund.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or equal to the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board took into account the Fund performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were higher than the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes except Institutional Class. The Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or equal to the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. However, given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-mutual fund clients such as collective funds or institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable, in light of the services covered by the Advisory Agreements.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Wells Fargo as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board also received and considered information concerning the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from providing services to the fund family as a whole, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the Wells Fargo and Funds Management profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management or Wells Fargo from its services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

Economies of scale
With respect to possible economies of scale, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements and competitive fee rates at the outset are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board considered Funds Management’s view that any analyses of potential economies of scale in managing a particular fund are inherently limited in light of the joint and common costs and investments that Funds Management incurs across the fund family as a whole.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Wells Fargo Funds Trust:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the summary portfolio of investments, of the Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund (formerly known as Wells Fargo Advantage Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund) (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting the Wells Fargo Funds Trust, as of June 30, 2016, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended (collectively, the “financial statements”), the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended (the financial statements and financial highlights are included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR), and the portfolio of investments as of June 30, 2016 (included in Item 6 of this Form N-CSR). These financial statements, financial highlights and portfolio of investments are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, financial highlights and portfolio of investments based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, financial highlights, and portfolio of investments are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and portfolio of investments. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements, financial highlights, and portfolio of investments referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund (formerly known as Wells Fargo Advantage Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund), as of June 30, 2016, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
