Wells Fargo Funds
Stocks drifted somewhat lower in the fall as the U.S. presidential campaign wore on toward the election.
Throughout the period, economic and business data, while sometimes uneven, appeared to be strengthening overall.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Alternative Strategies Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. During much of the period, positive economic data influenced global stock, bond, and commodity markets. Late in the period, stocks in the U.S. moved higher while they drifted lower in most international markets in reaction to the U.S. presidential election, production-cut agreements among Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) members intended to support higher oil prices, and an interest-rate increase in December announced by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed). As interest rates increased and sentiment for stock investments—particularly in the U.S.—improved, bond values globally fell.
The surprise Brexit vote rattled markets briefly before stocks rebounded.
A round of investment market volatility and losses followed the U.K. Brexit vote to leave the European Union (E.U.) at the end of June 2016. The equity sell-off proved temporary. During July 2016, better-than-expected corporate earnings, economic data, consumer confidence, and industrial output sent stocks higher.
Stocks drifted somewhat lower in the fall as the U.S. presidential campaign wore on toward the election. At the same time, political circumstances in countries outside of the U.S. challenged investor sentiment. In the U.K., a new prime minister took office following the Brexit vote and began setting the ground rules for the country’s exit from the E.U. In Brazil, the Senate removed the president from office, and the possibility of presidential impeachment emerged in South Korea due to a corruption scandal. The French president lost a primary election and endorsed his rival. An attempted coup in Turkey, continued escalation of conflicts in Syria and Iraq, and North Korea’s testing of nuclear weapons capabilities also caused uncertainty.
Investors sensed improving economic and business data as the period advanced.
Throughout the period, economic and business data, while sometimes uneven, appeared to be strengthening overall. After generating concern early in 2016, China’s economic growth demonstrated strength. The prime minister’s reelection in Japan offered the potential for new economic stimulus. India appointed a new central-bank governor who many expected would continue the outgoing governor’s policies, which were considered effective. OPEC members agreed to production cuts intended to support increased prices for oil, which could benefit commodities markets that are economically important to many international developed and emerging markets. In the U.S., the S&P 500 Index1 recorded a 7.8% return for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. Developed international markets, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index (ACWI) ex USA Index (Net),2 ended the period 5.6% higher. Stocks in emerging markets delivered a 4.5% gain for the period, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net).3

Letter to shareholders (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Alternative Strategies Fund | | | 3 | |
Fixed-income markets were volatile before the U.S. election and declined postelection.
Global fixed-income markets were volatile during the period, particularly following the U.S. election. Investors appeared to be anticipating U.S. interest-rate increases and waiting for clarity from central-bank policymakers outside of the U.S. When the Fed increased interest rates in December 2016, investors tended to favor equities and high-yield bonds, over investment-grade bonds.
Currency values in several European and Asian countries fell relative to the U.S. dollar during the period, restraining investor interest in foreign bond markets. While the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 lost 2.5% during the period, a 9.3% loss for the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex U.S. Dollar Bond Index5 reflected relatively more difficult conditions for bonds outside of the U.S.
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,

Andrew Owen

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.

1 | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses, which include the impact of 0.12% in acquired fund fees and expenses and 0.81% in dividend expense on securities sold short and prime broker fees. 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, 2017, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 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. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. |

5 | The ten largest long and short position holdings, excluding cash and cash equivalents, are calculated based on the value of the investments divided by total net assets of the Fund. Holdings are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | The chart shows the percentage of Fund holdings within a particular sector that was held long (securities owned by the Fund) or sold short (sale of borrowed securities). Gross exposure is the absolute value of the long positions and short positions combined. Net exposure is the percentage of long positions minus the percentage of positions sold short. |
7 | Strategy allocation is calculated based on the market value of total investments. Cash shown is the sweep cash position of the Fund, and excludes any cash or cash equivalents that may be pledged as collateral for other investments of the Fund.

Fund expenses (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Alternative Strategies Fund | | | 7 | |
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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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.

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 and swaps 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 December 31, 2016, such fair value pricing was not used in pricing foreign securities.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Management Valuation Team. The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Management Valuation Team which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange

or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the 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.
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.
Participation notes
The Fund may invest in participation notes to gain exposure to securities in certain foreign markets. Participation notes are issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to offer a return linked to a particular underlying foreign security. Participation notes involve transaction costs, which may be higher than those applicable to the underlying foreign security. The holder of the participation note is entitled to receive from the bank or broker-dealer, an amount equal to the dividend paid by the issuer of the underlying foreign security; however, the holder is not entitled to the same rights (i.e. dividends, voting rights) as an owner of the underlying foreign security. Investments in participation notes involve risks beyond those normally associated with a direct investment in an underlying security. The Fund has no rights against the issuer of the underlying foreign security and participation notes expose the Fund to counterparty risk in the event the counterparty does not perform. There is also no assurance there will be a secondary trading market for the participation note or that the trading price of the participation note will equal the underlying value of the foreign security that it seeks to replicate.
Forward foreign currency contracts
The Fund is subject to foreign currency 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 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.
| | | | |
40 | | Wells Fargo Alternative Strategies Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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 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. Premiums paid are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as investments, the values of which are subsequently adjusted based on the current market values of the options. 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
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Alternative Strategies Fund | | | 41 | |
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 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.
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.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had current year deferred post-October capital losses and a qualified late-year ordinary loss which were recognized on the first day of the current 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:
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | 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. Fair value pricing was used in pricing certain foreign securities at the previous period end but was not used at December 31, 2016. As a result, long positions valued at $14,671,913 and securities in short positions valued at $610,440 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1. The Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
Management fee

7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds and certain other funds) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $250,000,000 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 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to August 30, 2016, the revolving credit agreement amount was $200,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.20% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the six months ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
9. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
Stocks drifted somewhat lower in the fall as the U.S. presidential campaign wore on toward the election.
Throughout the period, economic and business data, while sometimes uneven, appeared to be strengthening overall.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. During much of the period, positive economic data influenced global stock, bond, and commodity markets. Late in the period, stocks in the U.S. moved higher while they drifted lower in most international markets in reaction to the U.S. presidential election, production-cut agreements among Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) members intended to support higher oil prices, and an interest-rate increase in December announced by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed). As interest rates increased and sentiment for stock investments—particularly in the U.S.—improved, bond values globally fell.
The surprise Brexit vote rattled markets briefly before stocks rebounded.
A round of investment market volatility and losses followed the U.K. Brexit vote to leave the European Union (E.U.) at the end of June 2016. The equity sell-off proved temporary. During July 2016, better-than-expected corporate earnings, economic data, consumer confidence, and industrial output sent stocks higher.
Stocks drifted somewhat lower in the fall as the U.S. presidential campaign wore on toward the election. At the same time, political circumstances in countries outside of the U.S. challenged investor sentiment. In the U.K., a new prime minister took office following the Brexit vote and began setting the ground rules for the country’s exit from the E.U. In Brazil, the Senate removed the president from office, and the possibility of presidential impeachment emerged in South Korea due to a corruption scandal. The French president lost a primary election and endorsed his rival. An attempted coup in Turkey, continued escalation of conflicts in Syria and Iraq, and North Korea’s testing of nuclear weapons capabilities also caused uncertainty.
Investors sensed improving economic and business data as the period advanced.
Throughout the period, economic and business data, while sometimes uneven, appeared to be strengthening overall. After generating concern early in 2016, China’s economic growth demonstrated strength. The prime minister’s reelection in Japan offered the potential for new economic stimulus. India appointed a new central-bank governor who many expected would continue the outgoing governor’s policies, which were considered effective. OPEC members agreed to production cuts intended to support increased prices for oil, which could benefit commodities markets that are economically important to many international developed and emerging markets. In the U.S., the S&P 500 Index1 recorded a 7.8% return for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. Developed international markets, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index (ACWI) ex USA Index (Net),2 ended the period 5.6% higher. Stocks in emerging markets delivered a 4.5% gain for the period, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net).3

Letter to shareholders (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund | | | 3 | |
Fixed-income markets were volatile before the U.S. election and declined postelection.
Global fixed-income markets were volatile during the period, particularly following the U.S. election. Investors appeared to be anticipating U.S. interest-rate increases and waiting for clarity from central-bank policymakers outside of the U.S. When the Fed increased interest rates in December 2016, investors tended to favor equities and high-yield bonds, over investment-grade bonds.
Currency values in several European and Asian countries fell relative to the U.S. dollar during the period, restraining investor interest in foreign bond markets. While the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 lost 2.5% during the period, a 9.3% loss for the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex U.S. Dollar Bond Index5 reflected relatively more difficult conditions for bonds outside of the U.S.
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,

Andrew Owen
President

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.

1 | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses, which include the impact of 0.05% in acquired fund fees and expenses and 0.71% in dividend expense on securities sold short and prime broker fees. 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, 2017, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 1.75% for Class A, 2.50% for Class C, 1.65% for Administrator Class, and 1.45% 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. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. |

6 | The ten largest long and short position holdings, excluding cash and cash equivalents, are calculated based on the value of the investments divided by total net assets of the Fund. Holdings are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
7 | The chart shows the percentage of Fund holdings within a particular sector or country that was held long (securities owned by the Fund) or sold short (sale of borrowed securities). Gross exposure is the absolute value of the long positions and short positions combined. Net exposure is the percentage of long positions minus the percentage of positions sold short. Short positions are represented by negative numbers. |

Fund expenses (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund | | | 7 | |
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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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 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 the 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 December 31, 2016 such fair value pricing was not 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. 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
| | | | |
20 | | Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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. Premiums paid are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as investments, the values of which are subsequently adjusted based on the current market values of the options. 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.
Participation notes
The Fund may invest in participation notes to gain exposure to securities in certain foreign markets. Participation notes are issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to offer a return linked to a particular underlying foreign security. Participation notes involve transaction costs, which may be higher than those applicable to the underlying foreign security. The holder of the participation note is entitled to receive from the bank or broker-dealer, an amount equal to the dividend paid by the issuer of the underlying foreign security; however, the holder is not entitled to the same rights (i.e. dividends, voting rights) as an owner of the underlying foreign security. Investments in participation notes involve risks
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund | | | 21 | |
beyond those normally associated with a direct investment in an underlying security. The Fund has no rights against the issuer of the underlying foreign security and participation notes expose the Fund to counterparty risk in the event the counterparty does not perform. There is also no assurance there will be a secondary trading market for the participation note or that the trading price of the participation note will equal the underlying value of the foreign security that it seeks to replicate.
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 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 are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted 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 was recognized on the first day of the current fiscal year.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
| | | | |
22 | | Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | 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 December 31, 2016:

Forward foreign currency contracts are reported at their unrealized gains at measurement date, 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. Fair value pricing was used in pricing certain foreign securities at the previous period end but was not used at December 31, 2016. As a result, long positions valued at $4,363,534 and securities in short positions valued at $497,062 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1. The Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
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 six months ended December 31, 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, 2017 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.
During the six months ended December 31, 2016, State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s custodian, reimbursed the Fund $3 for certain out-of-pocket expenses that were billed to the Fund in error from 1998-2015. This amount is included in dividend income on the Statement of Operations. In addition, Funds Management was also reimbursed $1,034 for waivers/reimbursements it made to the Fund during the period the Fund was erroneously billed.
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.

24 | | Wells Fargo Global Long/Short Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, 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 six months ended December 31, 2016 were $1,503,220 and $1,446,045, 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.

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 | |
Forward foreign currency contracts | | Morgan Stanley | | $13,321* | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 13,321 | |
| * | Amount represents net unrealized gains. | |
7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Fund has a uncommitted credit facility to provide leverage for investment purposes or to meet unanticipated redemptions. The Fund’s borrowings under the facility are charged interest at a rate to be determined at the time of the borrowing.
For the six months ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
9. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate in December by 0.25%. Municipal bond yields rose sharply in the fourth quarter. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Municipal bond yields rose during the reporting period.
The municipal market reversed course in the second half of 2016, with yields increasing and prices declining. Initially the sell-off was driven by negative supply and demand trends, also known as technical factors. By the fourth quarter, fund flows turned negative (reversing a trend of 54 weeks of positive flows) and municipal bond supply increased. These deteriorating technical factors, along with the expectation of an expansionary fiscal policy and lower tax rates under the new administration, drove market volatility; credit spreads widened and the yield curve steepened as the market sold-off.
Stronger economic indicators drove monetary policy.
On December 14, the Fed hiked the short-term interest rate by 0.25% to reach a target range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This was the second rate increase in more than 10 years, with the Fed citing job gains and lower than expected unemployment of 4.6%. The Fed confirmed the continuation of an accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger labor market and reiterated its long-term objective of a 2% inflation rate, which increased slightly during the fourth quarter but fell short of the benchmark. The Fed expressed confidence in the economy’s progress and expects this positive trajectory to continue. Both sentiments helped to bolster the Fed’s expectation of three additional rate increases during 2017.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England continued its quantitative-easing program and lowered the official bank rate to 0.25% in August 2016. The Bank of Japan maintained its negative interest rate put in place earlier in the year, and in September announced an interest rate target for 10-year government bonds—keeping the yield at zero—as it struggles to accelerate economic growth. In December, the European Central Bank announced that it will extend its quantitative-easing program and continue purchasing large amounts of eurozone corporate and government debt each month through December 2017.
U.S. economic data released during the fourth quarter showed that U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual 3.5% rate in the third quarter, the largest increase since mid-2014. Business investment by U.S. companies was mixed, with a 12.0% increase in structures and 4.5% decrease in equipment over the prior quarter on an annualized basis. Consumer confidence hit pre-recession levels for the first time in November, and increased again in December. The dollar strengthened during the quarter’s post-election period.
Supply and demand trends reflected volatility of municipals.
Demand for municipal debt, as measured by cash flows to municipal bond mutual funds, was negative for the reporting period. There were $19 billion of inflows from July through October, but a sharp reversal occurred post-election, with $26 billion of redemptions in the last two months of the year. This followed a

noteworthy 54 consecutive weeks of inflows. On the supply side, August through October saw 30-year record-breaking volumes each month; both refundings and new issuance were up. These levels were attributed to deals pulled forward in anticipation of higher interest rates. Not surprisingly, December volume was down 25% year-over-year to $19 billion. Total municipal bond issuance for the period was $219 billion; new issuance outpaced refundings by $18 billion.
Municipal credit fundamentals were solid.
Overall, municipal credit was sound for the period. The most significant development was the election of Ricardo Rossello as governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In the past, prices of Puerto Rico bonds reflected negative credit considerations, including defaults on its securities in 2015 and early 2016, but recent events point to a potentially more positive fiscal environment. Rossello campaigned, in part, on a platform that included promises to ultimately pay 100% of interest due on Puerto Rico’s outstanding municipal debt, negotiate with bondholders, and ration government expenditures. This stance is a major shift from his predecessor who focused on a bankruptcy mechanism.
Since the end of the financial crisis, structural changes in the fixed-income markets have reduced trading liquidity (the degree to which assets can be bought or sold without affecting the price). New regulations and capital requirements have caused traditional liquidity suppliers (banks and broker/dealers) to be more risk averse and hold less inventory. Meanwhile, corporate debt issuance has spiked as companies finance themselves at record-low yields, bond mutual funds hold larger amounts of this new debt supply, trading volumes are lower, and large-size trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appeared to function 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,

Andrew Owen

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.

1 | Historical performance shown for the Institutional Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the Administrator Class shares, and is not adjusted to reflect the Institutional Class expenses. If these expenses had been included, returns for the Institutional Class 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, 2017, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 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 Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond 1–5 Year Blend Index (formerly known as Barclays Municipal Bond 1–5 Year Blend Index) is the 1–5 Year Blend component of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (formerly known as Barclays Municipal Bond Index). The Bloomberg 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. |

You cannot invest directly in an index. |
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. |

6 | | 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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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 (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund | | | 29 | |
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 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.

30 | | Wells Fargo California Limited-Term 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.
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:
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | 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 December 31, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At December 31, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
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 six months ended December 31, 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, 2017 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.
During the six months ended December 31, 2016, State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s custodian, reimbursed the Fund $7 for certain out-of-pocket expenses that were billed to the Fund in error from 1998-2015. This amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. In addition, Funds Management was also reimbursed $3,059 for waivers/reimbursements it made to the Fund during the period the Fund was erroneously billed.
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 six months ended December 31, 2016, Funds Distributor received $1,062 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 six months ended December 31, 2016 were $48,469,899 and $152,610,492, 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 $250,000,000 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 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to August 30, 2016, the revolving credit agreement amount was $200,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.20% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the six month ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. 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.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
9. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate in December by 0.25%. Municipal bond yields rose sharply in the fourth quarter. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Municipal bond yields rose during the reporting period.
The municipal market reversed course in the second half of 2016, with yields increasing and prices declining. Initially the sell-off was driven by negative supply and demand trends, also known as technical factors. By the fourth quarter, fund flows turned negative (reversing a trend of 54 weeks of positive flows) and municipal bond supply increased. These deteriorating technical factors, along with the expectation of an expansionary fiscal policy and lower tax rates under the new administration, drove market volatility; credit spreads widened and the yield curve steepened as the market sold-off.
Stronger economic indicators drove monetary policy.
On December 14, the Fed hiked the short-term interest rate by 0.25% to reach a target range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This was the second rate increase in more than 10 years, with the Fed citing job gains and lower than expected unemployment of 4.6%. The Fed confirmed the continuation of an accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger labor market and reiterated its long-term objective of a 2% inflation rate, which increased slightly during the fourth quarter but fell short of the benchmark. The Fed expressed confidence in the economy’s progress and expects this positive trajectory to continue. Both sentiments helped to bolster the Fed’s expectation of three additional rate increases during 2017.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England continued its quantitative-easing program and lowered the official bank rate to 0.25% in August 2016. The Bank of Japan maintained its negative interest rate put in place earlier in the year, and in September announced an interest rate target for 10-year government bonds—keeping the yield at zero—as it struggles to accelerate economic growth. In December, the European Central Bank announced that it will extend its quantitative-easing program and continue purchasing large amounts of eurozone corporate and government debt each month through December 2017.
U.S. economic data released during the fourth quarter showed that U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual 3.5% rate in the third quarter, the largest increase since mid-2014. Business investment by U.S. companies was mixed, with a 12.0% increase in structures and 4.5% decrease in equipment over the prior quarter on an annualized basis. Consumer confidence hit pre-recession levels for the first time in November, and increased again in December. The dollar strengthened during the quarter’s post-election period.
Supply and demand trends reflected volatility of municipals.
Demand for municipal debt, as measured by cash flows to municipal bond mutual funds, was negative for the reporting period. There were $19 billion of inflows from July through October, but a sharp reversal occurred post-election, with $26 billion of redemptions in the last two months of the year. This followed a

noteworthy 54 consecutive weeks of inflows. On the supply side, August through October saw 30-year record-breaking volumes each month; both refundings and
new issuance were up. These levels were attributed to deals pulled forward in anticipation of higher interest rates. Not surprisingly, December volume was down 25% year-over-year to $19 billion. Total municipal bond issuance for the period was $219 billion; new issuance outpaced refundings by $18 billion.
Municipal credit fundamentals were solid.
Overall, municipal credit was sound for the period. The most significant development was the election of Ricardo Rossello as governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In the past, prices of Puerto Rico bonds reflected negative credit considerations, including defaults on its securities in 2015 and early 2016, but recent events point to a potentially more positive fiscal environment. Rossello campaigned, in part, on a platform that included promises to ultimately pay 100% of interest due on Puerto Rico’s outstanding municipal debt, negotiate with bondholders, and ration government expenditures. This stance is a major shift from his predecessor who focused on a bankruptcy mechanism.
Since the end of the financial crisis, structural changes in the fixed-income markets have reduced trading liquidity (the degree to which assets can be bought or sold without affecting the price). New regulations and capital requirements have caused traditional liquidity suppliers (banks and broker/dealers) to be more risk averse and hold less inventory. Meanwhile, corporate debt issuance has spiked as companies finance themselves at record-low yields, bond mutual funds hold larger amounts of this new debt supply, trading volumes are lower, and large-size trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appeared to function 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,

Andrew Owen

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 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.

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. |

6 | | 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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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 California Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a non-diversified series of the Trust.
Effective December 6, 2016, Class B shares of the Fund are no longer offered. Information for Class B shares reflected in the financial statements represents activity through December 5, 2016.
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.
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.
| | | | |
26 | | Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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.
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 |
$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:
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund | | | 27 | |
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 December 31, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At December 31, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
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 six months ended December 31, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.38% 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, 2017 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 C shares, 0.55% 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.
| | | | |
28 | | Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
During the six months ended December 31, 2016, State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s custodian, reimbursed the Fund $6,340 for certain out-of-pocket expenses that were billed to the Fund in error from 1998-2015. This amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. In addition, Funds Management was also reimbursed $3,153 for waivers/reimbursements it made to the Fund during the period the Fund was erroneously billed.
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 six months ended December 31, 2016, Funds Distributor received $12,109 from the sale of Class A shares and $10,000 in contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions 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 six months ended December 31, 2016 were $367,581,894 and $342,129,439, 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 six months ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2016, the Fund did not have any open futures contracts. The Fund had an average notional amount of $5,230,694 in short futures contracts during the six months ended December 31, 2016.
The realized gains and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts, if any, are reflected in the Statement of Operations.
7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds and certain other funds) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $250,000,000 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 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to August 30, 2016, the revolving credit agreement amount was $200,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.20% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the six months ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
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.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund | | | 29 | |
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.
10. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Colorado Tax-Free Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate in December by 0.25%. Municipal bond yields rose sharply in the fourth quarter. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Municipal bond yields rose during the reporting period.
The municipal market reversed course in the second half of 2016, with yields increasing and prices declining. Initially the sell-off was driven by negative supply and demand trends, also known as technical factors. By the fourth quarter, fund flows turned negative (reversing a trend of 54 weeks of positive flows) and municipal bond supply increased. These deteriorating technical factors, along with the expectation of an expansionary fiscal policy and lower tax rates under the new administration, drove market volatility; credit spreads widened and the yield curve steepened as the market sold-off.
Stronger economic indicators drove monetary policy.
On December 14, the Fed hiked the short-term interest rate by 0.25% to reach a target range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This was the second rate increase in more than 10 years, with the Fed citing job gains and lower than expected unemployment of 4.6%. The Fed confirmed the continuation of an accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger labor market and reiterated its long-term objective of a 2% inflation rate, which increased slightly during the fourth quarter but fell short of the benchmark. The Fed expressed confidence in the economy’s progress and expects this positive trajectory to continue. Both sentiments helped to bolster the Fed’s expectation of three additional rate increases during 2017.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England continued its quantitative-easing program and lowered the official bank rate to 0.25% in August 2016. The Bank of Japan maintained its negative interest rate put in place earlier in the year, and in September announced an interest rate target for 10-year government bonds—keeping the yield at zero—as it struggles to accelerate economic growth. In December, the European Central Bank announced that it will extend its quantitative-easing program and continue purchasing large amounts of eurozone corporate and government debt each month through December 2017.
U.S. economic data released during the fourth quarter showed that U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual 3.5% rate in the third quarter, the largest increase since mid-2014. Business investment by U.S. companies was mixed, with a 12.0% increase in structures and 4.5% decrease in equipment over the prior quarter on an annualized basis. Consumer confidence hit pre-recession levels for the first time in November, and increased again in December. The dollar strengthened during the quarter’s post-election period.
Supply and demand trends reflected volatility of municipals.
Demand for municipal debt, as measured by cash flows to municipal bond mutual funds, was negative for the reporting period. There were $19 billion of inflows from July through October, but a sharp reversal occurred post-election, with $26 billion of redemptions in the last two months of the year. This followed a

noteworthy 54 consecutive weeks of inflows. On the supply side, August through October saw 30-year record-breaking volumes each month; both refundings and new issuance were up. These levels were attributed to deals pulled forward in anticipation of higher interest rates. Not surprisingly, December volume was down 25% year-over-year to $19 billion. Total municipal bond issuance for the period was $219 billion; new issuance outpaced refundings by $18 billion.
Municipal credit fundamentals were solid.
Overall, municipal credit was sound for the period. The most significant development was the election of Ricardo Rossello as governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In the past, prices of Puerto Rico bonds reflected negative credit considerations, including defaults on its securities in 2015 and early 2016, but recent events point to a potentially more positive fiscal environment. Rossello campaigned, in part, on a platform that included promises to ultimately pay 100% of interest due on Puerto Rico’s outstanding municipal debt, negotiate with bondholders, and ration government expenditures. This stance is a major shift from his predecessor who focused on a bankruptcy mechanism.
Since the end of the financial crisis, structural changes in the fixed-income markets have reduced trading liquidity (the degree to which assets can be bought or sold without affecting the price). New regulations and capital requirements have caused traditional liquidity suppliers (banks and broker/dealers) to be more risk averse and hold less inventory. Meanwhile, corporate debt issuance has spiked as companies finance themselves at record-low yields, bond mutual funds hold larger amounts of this new debt supply, trading volumes are lower, and large-size trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appeared to function 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,

Andrew Owen

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 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.

6 | | 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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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 Colorado Tax-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo 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 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 $37,825 in long-term losses which were recognized on the first day of the current fiscal year.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | 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 December 31, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
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 six months ended December 31, 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 | |
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, 2017 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, 0.60% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.52% 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.
During the six months ended December 31, 2016, State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s custodian, reimbursed the Fund $7 for certain out-of-pocket expenses that were billed to the Fund in error from 1998-2015. This amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. In addition, Funds Management was also reimbursed $3,035 for waivers/reimbursements it made to the Fund during the period the Fund was erroneously billed.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Colorado Tax-Free Fund | | | 21 | |
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 six months ended December 31, 2016, Funds Distributor received $6,653 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 six months ended December 31, 2016 were $16,072,628 and $14,405,041, 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 $250,000,000 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 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to August 30, 2016, the revolving credit agreement amount was $200,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.20% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the six months ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. 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.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
9. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate in December by 0.25%. Municipal bond yields rose sharply in the fourth quarter. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Municipal bond yields rose during the reporting period.
The municipal market reversed course in the second half of 2016, with yields increasing and prices declining. Initially the sell-off was driven by negative supply and demand trends, also known as technical factors. By the fourth quarter, fund flows turned negative (reversing a trend of 54 weeks of positive flows) and municipal bond supply increased. These deteriorating technical factors, along with the expectation of an expansionary fiscal policy and lower tax rates under the new administration, drove market volatility; credit spreads widened and the yield curve steepened as the market sold-off.
Stronger economic indicators drove monetary policy.
On December 14, the Fed hiked the short-term interest rate by 0.25% to reach a target range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This was the second rate increase in more than 10 years, with the Fed citing job gains and lower than expected unemployment of 4.6%. The Fed confirmed the continuation of an accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger labor market and reiterated its long-term objective of a 2% inflation rate, which increased slightly during the fourth quarter but fell short of the benchmark. The Fed expressed confidence in the economy’s progress and expects this positive trajectory to continue. Both sentiments helped to bolster the Fed’s expectation of three additional rate increases during 2017.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England continued its quantitative-easing program and lowered the official bank rate to 0.25% in August 2016. The Bank of Japan maintained its negative interest rate put in place earlier in the year, and in September announced an interest rate target for 10-year government bonds—keeping the yield at zero—as it struggles to accelerate economic growth. In December, the European Central Bank announced that it will extend its quantitative-easing program and continue purchasing large amounts of eurozone corporate and government debt each month through December 2017.
U.S. economic data released during the fourth quarter showed that U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual 3.5% rate in the third quarter, the largest increase since mid-2014. Business investment by U.S. companies was mixed, with a 12.0% increase in structures and 4.5% decrease in equipment over the prior quarter on an annualized basis. Consumer confidence hit pre-recession levels for the first time in November, and increased again in December. The dollar strengthened during the quarter’s post-election period.
Supply and demand trends reflected volatility of municipals.
Demand for municipal debt, as measured by cash flows to municipal bond mutual funds, was negative for the reporting period. There were $19 billion of inflows from July through October, but a sharp reversal occurred post-election, with $26 billion of redemptions in the last two months of the year. This followed a

noteworthy 54 consecutive weeks of inflows. On the supply side, August through October saw 30-year record-breaking volumes each month; both refundings and new issuance were up. These levels were attributed to deals pulled forward in anticipation of higher interest rates. Not surprisingly, December volume was down 25% year-over-year to $19 billion. Total municipal bond issuance for the period was $219 billion; new issuance outpaced refundings by $18 billion.
Municipal credit fundamentals were solid.
Overall, municipal credit was sound for the period. The most significant development was the election of Ricardo Rossello as governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In the past, prices of Puerto Rico bonds reflected negative credit considerations, including defaults on its securities in 2015 and early 2016, but recent events point to a potentially more positive fiscal environment. Rossello campaigned, in part, on a platform that included promises to ultimately pay 100% of interest due on Puerto Rico’s outstanding municipal debt, negotiate with bondholders, and ration government expenditures. This stance is a major shift from his predecessor who focused on a bankruptcy mechanism.
Since the end of the financial crisis, structural changes in the fixed-income markets have reduced trading liquidity (the degree to which assets can be bought or sold without affecting the price). New regulations and capital requirements have caused traditional liquidity suppliers (banks and broker/dealers) to be more risk averse and hold less inventory. Meanwhile, corporate debt issuance has spiked as companies finance themselves at record-low yields, bond mutual funds hold larger amounts of this new debt supply, trading volumes are lower, and large-size trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appeared to function 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. 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.

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, 2017, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 0.85% for Class A, 1.60% for Class C, 0.75% for Administrator Class, and 0.60% 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, and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. |

5 | 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. |
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. |

6 | | 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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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 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 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.
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. Interests in non-registered investment vehicles that are redeemable at net asset value are fair valued normally 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 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 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 valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service. Income earned from investment in the Securities Lending Fund is included in securities lending income on the Statement of Operations.
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.
| | | | |
24 | | Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
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:
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | 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 December 31, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At December 31, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
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 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 six months ended December 31, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund | | | 25 | |
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, 2017 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.
During the six months ended December 31, 2016, Funds Management received $1,311 from State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s custodian, for certain out-of-pocket expenses that were billed to the Fund in error from 1998-2015 that increased waivers/reimbursements made by Funds Management for the Fund during the period.
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 six months ended December 31, 2016, Funds Distributor received $1,978 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 six months ended December 31, 2016 were $66,883,390 and $63,546,661, 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 six months ended December 31, 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.

26 | | Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
As of December 31, 2016, the Fund did not have any open futures contracts. The Fund had an average notional amount of $688,937 in short futures contracts during the six months ended December 31, 2016.
The realized losses and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are reflected in the Statement of Operations.
7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds and certain other funds) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $250,000,000 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 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to August 30, 2016, the revolving credit agreement amount was $200,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.20% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the six months ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
9. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate in December by 0.25%. Municipal bond yields rose sharply in the fourth quarter. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Municipal bond yields rose during the reporting period.
The municipal market reversed course in the second half of 2016, with yields increasing and prices declining. Initially the sell-off was driven by negative supply and demand trends, also known as technical factors. By the fourth quarter, fund flows turned negative (reversing a trend of 54 weeks of positive flows) and municipal bond supply increased. These deteriorating technical factors, along with the expectation of an expansionary fiscal policy and lower tax rates under the new administration, drove market volatility; credit spreads widened and the yield curve steepened as the market sold-off.
Stronger economic indicators drove monetary policy.
On December 14, the Fed hiked the short-term interest rate by 0.25% to reach a target range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This was the second rate increase in more than 10 years, with the Fed citing job gains and lower than expected unemployment of 4.6%. The Fed confirmed the continuation of an accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger labor market and reiterated its long-term objective of a 2% inflation rate, which increased slightly during the fourth quarter but fell short of the benchmark. The Fed expressed confidence in the economy’s progress and expects this positive trajectory to continue. Both sentiments helped to bolster the Fed’s expectation of three additional rate increases during 2017.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England continued its quantitative-easing program and lowered the official bank rate to 0.25% in August 2016. The Bank of Japan maintained its negative interest rate put in place earlier in the year, and in September announced an interest rate target for 10-year government bonds—keeping the yield at zero—as it struggles to accelerate economic growth. In December, the European Central Bank announced that it will extend its quantitative-easing program and continue purchasing large amounts of eurozone corporate and government debt each month through December 2017.
U.S. economic data released during the fourth quarter showed that U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual 3.5% rate in the third quarter, the largest increase since mid-2014. Business investment by U.S. companies was mixed, with a 12.0% increase in structures and 4.5% decrease in equipment over the prior quarter on an annualized basis. Consumer confidence hit pre-recession levels for the first time in November, and increased again in December. The dollar strengthened during the quarter’s post-election period.
Supply and demand trends reflected volatility of municipals.
Demand for municipal debt, as measured by cash flows to municipal bond mutual funds, was negative for the reporting period. There were $19 billion of inflows from July through October, but a sharp reversal occurred post-election, with $26 billion of redemptions in the last two months of the year. This followed a

noteworthy 54 consecutive weeks of inflows. On the supply side, August through October saw 30-year record-breaking volumes each month; both refundings and new issuance were up. These levels were attributed to deals pulled forward in anticipation of higher interest rates. Not surprisingly, December volume was down 25% year-over-year to $19 billion. Total municipal bond issuance for the period was $219 billion; new issuance outpaced refundings by $18 billion.
Municipal credit fundamentals were solid.
Overall, municipal credit was sound for the period. The most significant development was the election of Ricardo Rossello as governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In the past, prices of Puerto Rico bonds reflected negative credit considerations, including defaults on its securities in 2015 and early 2016, but recent events point to a potentially more positive fiscal environment. Rossello campaigned, in part, on a platform that included promises to ultimately pay 100% of interest due on Puerto Rico’s outstanding municipal debt, negotiate with bondholders, and ration government expenditures. This stance is a major shift from his predecessor who focused on a bankruptcy mechanism.
Since the end of the financial crisis, structural changes in the fixed-income markets have reduced trading liquidity (the degree to which assets can be bought or sold without affecting the price). New regulations and capital requirements have caused traditional liquidity suppliers (banks and broker/dealers) to be more risk averse and hold less inventory. Meanwhile, corporate debt issuance has spiked as companies finance themselves at record-low yields, bond mutual funds hold larger amounts of this new debt supply, trading volumes are lower, and large-size trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appeared to function 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,

Andrew Owen

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 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.

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 the Administrator Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the former Investor Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to the Investor Class shares. Historical performance shown for the Institutional Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the former Investor Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to the 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, 2017, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 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 Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond 1–15 Year Blend Index (formerly known as Barclays Municipal Bond 1–15 Year Blend Index) is the 1–15 Year Blend component of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (formerly known as Barclays Municipal Bond Index). The Bloomberg 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 | 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. |
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. |

6 | | 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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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.
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
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund | | | 21 | |
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:
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | 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.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
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 six months ended December 31, 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 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, 2017 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.
During the six months ended December 31, 2016, State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s custodian, reimbursed the Fund $6,430 for certain out-of-pocket expenses that were billed to the Fund in error from 1998-2015. This amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. In addition, Funds Management was also reimbursed $3,233 for waivers/reimbursements it made to the Fund during the period the Fund was erroneously billed.

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 six months ended December 31, 2016, Funds Distributor received $4,253 from the sale of Class A shares and $449 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 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 six months ended December 31, 2016 were $269,317,620 and $251,787,885, 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 six months ended December 31, 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.
As of December 31, 2016, the Fund did not have any open futures contracts. The Fund had an average notional amount of $3,071,999 in short futures contracts during the six months ended December 31, 2016.
The realized losses and change in unrealized gains or losses on futures contracts are reflected in the Statement of Operations.
7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds and certain other funds) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $250,000,000 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 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to August 30, 2016, the revolving credit agreement amount was $200,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.20% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the six months ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

9. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax -Free Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate in December by 0.25%. Municipal bond yields rose sharply in the fourth quarter. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Municipal bond yields rose during the reporting period.
The municipal market reversed course in the second half of 2016, with yields increasing and prices declining. Initially the sell-off was driven by negative supply and demand trends, also known as technical factors. By the fourth quarter, fund flows turned negative (reversing a trend of 54 weeks of positive flows) and municipal bond supply increased. These deteriorating technical factors, along with the expectation of an expansionary fiscal policy and lower tax rates under the new administration, drove market volatility; credit spreads widened and the yield curve steepened as the market sold-off.
Stronger economic indicators drove monetary policy.
On December 14, the Fed hiked the short-term interest rate by 0.25% to reach a target range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This was the second rate increase in more than 10 years, with the Fed citing job gains and lower than expected unemployment of 4.6%. The Fed confirmed the continuation of an accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger labor market and reiterated its long-term objective of a 2% inflation rate, which increased slightly during the fourth quarter but fell short of the benchmark. The Fed expressed confidence in the economy’s progress and expects this positive trajectory to continue. Both sentiments helped to bolster the Fed’s expectation of three additional rate increases during 2017.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England continued its quantitative-easing program and lowered the official bank rate to 0.25% in August 2016. The Bank of Japan maintained its negative interest rate put in place earlier in the year, and in September announced an interest rate target for 10-year government bonds—keeping the yield at zero—as it struggles to accelerate economic growth. In December, the European Central Bank announced that it will extend its quantitative-easing program and continue purchasing large amounts of eurozone corporate and government debt each month through December 2017.
U.S. economic data released during the fourth quarter that U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual 3.5% rate in the third quarter, the largest increase since mid-2014. Business investment by U.S. companies was mixed, with a 12.0% increase in structures and 4.5% decrease in equipment over the prior quarter on an annualized basis. Consumer confidence hit pre-recession levels for the first time in November, and increased again in December. The dollar strengthened during the quarter’s post-election period.
Supply and demand trends reflected volatility of municipals.
Demand for municipal debt, as measured by cash flows to municipal bond mutual funds, was negative for the reporting period. There were $19 billion of inflows from July through October, but a sharp reversal occurred post-election, with $26 billion of redemptions in the last two months of the year. This followed a

noteworthy 54 consecutive weeks of inflows. On the supply side, August through October saw 30-year record-breaking volumes each month; both refundings and new issuance were up. These levels were attributed to deals pulled forward in anticipation of higher interest rates. Not surprisingly, December volume was down 25% year-over-year to $19 billion. Total municipal bond issuance for the period was $219 billion; new issuance outpaced refundings by $18 billion.
Municipal credit fundamentals were solid.
Overall, municipal credit was sound for the period. The most significant development was the election of Ricardo Rossello as governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In the past, prices of Puerto Rico bonds reflected negative credit considerations, including defaults on its securities in 2015 and early 2016, but recent events point to a potentially more positive fiscal environment. Rossello campaigned, in part, on a platform that included promises to ultimately pay 100% of interest due on Puerto Rico’s outstanding municipal debt, negotiate with bondholders, and ration government expenditures. This stance is a major shift from his predecessor who focused on a bankruptcy mechanism.
Since the end of the financial crisis, structural changes in the fixed-income markets have reduced trading liquidity (the degree to which assets can be bought or sold without affecting the price). New regulations and capital requirements have caused traditional liquidity suppliers (banks and broker/dealers) to be more risk averse and hold less inventory. Meanwhile, corporate debt issuance has spiked as companies finance themselves at record-low yields, bond mutual funds hold larger amounts of this new debt supply, trading volumes are lower, and large-size trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appeared to function 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,

Andrew Owen
President

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 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.

1 | Historical performance shown for the Institutional Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the Administrator Class shares, and is not adjusted to reflect Institutional Class expenses. If these expenses had been included, returns for Institutional Class 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, 2017, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 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 Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (formerly known as 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 Bloomberg Barclays Minnesota Municipal Bond Index (formerly known as Barclays Minnesota Municipal Bond Index) is the Minnesota component of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
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. |

6 | | 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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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 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 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 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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund | | | 21 | |
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:
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | 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 December 31, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |
Assets | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Investments in: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
Municipal obligations | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 153,433,496 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 153,433,496 | |
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At December 31, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
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
| | | | |
22 | | Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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 six months ended December 31, 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 | |
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, 2017 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, 0.60% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.52% 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.
During the six months ended December 31, 2016, State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s custodian, reimbursed the Fund $7 for certain out-of-pocket expenses that were billed to the Fund in error from 1998-2015. This amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. In addition, Funds Management was also reimbursed $3,049 for waivers/reimbursements it made to the Fund during the period the Fund was erroneously billed.
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 six months ended December 31, 2016, Funds Distributor received $2,050 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 $14,871,288 and $31,676,311, respectively.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Minnesota 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 $250,000,000 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 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to August 30, 2016, the revolving credit agreement amount was $200,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.20% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the six months ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. 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.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
9. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate in December by 0.25%. Municipal bond yields rose sharply in the fourth quarter. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Municipal bond yields rose during the reporting period.
The municipal market reversed course in the second half of 2016, with yields increasing and prices declining. Initially the sell-off was driven by negative supply and demand trends, also known as technical factors. By the fourth quarter, fund flows turned negative (reversing a trend of 54 weeks of positive flows) and municipal bond supply increased. These deteriorating technical factors, along with the expectation of an expansionary fiscal policy and lower tax rates under the new administration, drove market volatility; credit spreads widened and the yield curve steepened as the market sold-off.
Stronger economic indicators drove monetary policy.
On December 14, the Fed hiked the short-term interest rate by 0.25% to reach a target range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This was the second rate increase in more than 10 years, with the Fed citing job gains and lower than expected unemployment of 4.6%. The Fed confirmed the continuation of an accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger labor market and reiterated its long-term objective of a 2% inflation rate, which increased slightly during the fourth quarter but fell short of the benchmark. The Fed expressed confidence in the economy’s progress and expects this positive trajectory to continue. Both sentiments helped to bolster the Fed’s expectation of three additional rate increases during 2017.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England continued its quantitative-easing program and lowered the official bank rate to 0.25% in August 2016. The Bank of Japan maintained its negative interest rate put in place earlier in the year, and in September announced an interest rate target for 10-year government bonds—keeping the yield at zero—as it struggles to accelerate economic growth. In December, the European Central Bank announced that it will extend its quantitative-easing program and continue purchasing large amounts of eurozone corporate and government debt each month through December 2017.
U.S. economic data released during the fourth quarter showed that U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual 3.5% rate in the third quarter, the largest increase since mid-2014. Business investment by U.S. companies was mixed, with a 12.0% increase in structures and 4.5% decrease in equipment over the prior quarter on an annualized basis. Consumer confidence hit pre-recession levels for the first time in November, and increased again in December. The dollar strengthened during the quarter’s post-election period.
Supply and demand trends reflected volatility of municipals.
Demand for municipal debt, as measured by cash flows to municipal bond mutual funds, was negative for the reporting period. There were $19 billion of inflows from July through October, but a sharp reversal occurred post-election, with $26 billion of redemptions in the last two months of the year. This followed a

noteworthy 54 consecutive weeks of inflows. On the supply side, August through October saw 30-year record-breaking volumes each month; both refundings and new issuance were up. These levels were attributed to deals pulled forward in anticipation of higher interest rates. Not surprisingly, December volume was down 25% year-over-year to $19 billion. Total municipal bond issuance for the period was $219 billion; new issuance outpaced refundings by $18 billion.
Municipal credit fundamentals were solid.
Overall, municipal credit was sound for the period. The most significant development was the election of Ricardo Rossello as governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In the past, prices of Puerto Rico bonds reflected negative credit considerations, including defaults on its securities in 2015 and early 2016, but recent events point to a potentially more positive fiscal environment. Rossello campaigned, in part, on a platform that included promises to ultimately pay 100% of interest due on Puerto Rico’s outstanding municipal debt, negotiate with bondholders, and ration government expenditures. This stance is a major shift from his predecessor who focused on a bankruptcy mechanism.
Since the end of the financial crisis, structural changes in the fixed-income markets have reduced trading liquidity (the degree to which assets can be bought or sold without affecting the price). New regulations and capital requirements have caused traditional liquidity suppliers (banks and broker/dealers) to be more risk averse and hold less inventory. Meanwhile, corporate debt issuance has spiked as companies finance themselves at record-low yields, bond mutual funds hold larger amounts of this new debt supply, trading volumes are lower, and large-size trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appeared to function 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,

Andrew Owen

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 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.

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. |

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. |

6 | | 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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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 (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Municipal Bond 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 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.
Effective December 6, 2016, Class B shares of the Fund are no longer offered. Information for Class B shares reflected in the financial statements represents activity through December 5, 2016.
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.
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.
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.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of 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:
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | 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 December 31, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At December 31, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
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 six months ended December 31, 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 | |
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, 2017 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 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.
During the six months ended December 31, 2016, State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s custodian, reimbursed the Fund $45,290 for certain out-of-pocket expenses that were billed to the Fund in error from 1998-2015. This amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. In addition, Funds Management was also reimbursed $8,295 for waivers/reimbursements it made to the Fund during the period the Fund was erroneously billed.
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 six months ended December 31, 2016, Funds Distributor received $20,194 from the sale of Class A shares and $99 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 six months ended December 31, 2016 were $485,129,814 and $149,473,534, 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 six months ended December 31, 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 (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund | | | 25 | |
As of December 31, 2016, the Fund did not have any open futures contracts. The Fund had an average notional amount of $35,053,429 in short futures contracts during the six months ended December 31, 2016.
The realized gains and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are reflected in the Statement of Operations.
7. BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds and certain other funds) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $250,000,000 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 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to August 30, 2016, the revolving credit agreement amount was $200,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.20% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the six months ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
During the six months ended December 31, 2016, the Fund participated in Inverse Floaters which are accounted for as a secured borrowing. During the six months ended December 31, 2016, the Fund held Floating-Rate Notes that had an average daily balance outstanding of $2,215,323 (on an annualized basis) and incurred interest and fee expense in the amount of $3,227.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
9. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo North Carolina Tax-Free Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate in December by 0.25%. Municipal bond yields rose sharply in the fourth quarter. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Municipal bond yields rose during the reporting period.
The municipal market reversed course in the second half of 2016, with yields increasing and prices declining. Initially the sell-off was driven by negative supply and demand trends, also known as technical factors. By the fourth quarter, fund flows turned negative (reversing a trend of 54 weeks of positive flows) and municipal bond supply increased. These deteriorating technical factors, along with the expectation of an expansionary fiscal policy and lower tax rates under the new administration, drove market volatility; credit spreads widened and the yield curve steepened as the market sold-off.
Stronger economic indicators drove monetary policy.
On December 14, the Fed hiked the short-term interest rate by 0.25% to reach a target range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This was the second rate increase in more than 10 years, with the Fed citing job gains and lower than expected unemployment of 4.6%. The Fed confirmed the continuation of an accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger labor market and reiterated its long-term objective of a 2% inflation rate, which increased slightly during the fourth quarter but fell short of the benchmark. The Fed expressed confidence in the economy’s progress and expects this positive trajectory to continue. Both sentiments helped to bolster the Fed’s expectation of three additional rate increases during 2017.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England continued its quantitative-easing program and lowered the official bank rate to 0.25% in August 2016. The Bank of Japan maintained its negative interest rate put in place earlier in the year, and in September announced an interest rate target for 10-year government bonds—keeping the yield at zero—as it struggles to accelerate economic growth. In December, the European Central Bank announced that it will extend its quantitative-easing program and continue purchasing large amounts of eurozone corporate and government debt each month through December 2017.
U.S. economic data released during the fourth quarter showed that U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual 3.5% rate in the third quarter, the largest increase since mid-2014. Business investment by U.S. companies was mixed, with a 12.0% increase in structures and 4.5% decrease in equipment over the prior quarter on an annualized basis. Consumer confidence hit pre-recession levels for the first time in November, and increased again in December. The dollar strengthened during the quarter’s post-election period.
Supply and demand trends reflected volatility of municipals.
Demand for municipal debt, as measured by cash flows to municipal bond mutual funds, was negative for the reporting period. There were $19 billion of inflows from July through October, but a sharp reversal occurred post-election, with $26 billion of redemptions in the last two months of the year. This followed a

noteworthy 54 consecutive weeks of inflows. On the supply side, August through October saw 30-year record-breaking volumes each month; both refundings and new issuance were up. These levels were attributed to deals pulled forward in anticipation of higher interest rates. Not surprisingly, December volume was down 25% year-over-year to $19 billion. Total municipal bond issuance for the period was $219 billion; new issuance outpaced refundings by $18 billion.
Municipal credit fundamentals were solid.
Overall, municipal credit was sound for the period. The most significant development was the election of Ricardo Rossello as governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In the past, prices of Puerto Rico bonds reflected negative credit considerations, including defaults on its securities in 2015 and early 2016, but recent events point to a potentially more positive fiscal environment. Rossello campaigned, in part, on a platform that included promises to ultimately pay 100% of interest due on Puerto Rico’s outstanding municipal debt, negotiate with bondholders, and ration government expenditures. This stance is a major shift from his predecessor who focused on a bankruptcy mechanism.
Since the end of the financial crisis, structural changes in the fixed-income markets have reduced trading liquidity (the degree to which assets can be bought or sold without affecting the price). New regulations and capital requirements have caused traditional liquidity suppliers (banks and broker/dealers) to be more risk averse and hold less inventory. Meanwhile, corporate debt issuance has spiked as companies finance themselves at record-low yields, bond mutual funds hold larger amounts of this new debt supply, trading volumes are lower, and large-size trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appeared to function 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.

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. |

6 | | 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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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.

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 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.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
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 | | Short-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 short-term losses which were be recognized on the first day of the current fiscal year.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | 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 December 31, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs

The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At December 31, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
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 six months ended December 31, 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, 2017 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.
During the six months ended December 31, 2016, State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s custodian, reimbursed the Fund $5,341 for certain out-of-pocket expenses that were billed to the Fund in error from 1998-2015. This amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. In addition, Funds Management was also reimbursed $4,307 for waivers/reimbursements it made to the Fund during the period the Fund was erroneously billed.
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 six months ended December 31, 2016, Funds Distributor received $212 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.
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo North Carolina Tax-Free Fund | | | 19 | |
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 six months ended December 31, 2016 were $7,041,420 and $21,186,781, 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 $250,000,000 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 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to August 30, 2016, the revolving credit agreement amount was $200,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.20% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the six months ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. 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.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
9. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.

The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate in December by 0.25%. Municipal bond yields rose sharply in the fourth quarter. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Municipal bond yields rose during the reporting period.
The municipal market reversed course in the second half of 2016, with yields increasing and prices declining. Initially the sell-off was driven by negative supply and demand trends, also known as technical factors. By the fourth quarter, fund flows turned negative (reversing a trend of 54 weeks of positive flows) and municipal bond supply increased. These deteriorating technical factors, along with the expectation of an expansionary fiscal policy and lower tax rates under the new administration, drove market volatility; credit spreads widened and the yield curve steepened as the market sold-off.
Stronger economic indicators drove monetary policy.
On December 14, the Fed hiked the short-term interest rate by 0.25% to reach a target range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This was the second rate increase in more than 10 years, with the Fed citing job gains and lower than expected unemployment of 4.6%. The Fed confirmed the continuation of an accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger labor market and reiterated its long-term objective of a 2% inflation rate, which increased slightly during the fourth quarter but fell short of the benchmark. The Fed expressed confidence in the economy’s progress and expects this positive trajectory to continue. Both sentiments helped to bolster the Fed’s expectation of three additional rate increases during 2017.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England continued its quantitative-easing program and lowered the official bank rate to 0.25% in August 2016. The Bank of Japan maintained its negative interest rate put in place earlier in the year, and in September announced an interest rate target for 10-year government bonds—keeping the yield at zero—as it struggles to accelerate economic growth. In December, the European Central Bank announced that it will extend its quantitative-easing program and continue purchasing large amounts of eurozone corporate and government debt each month through December 2017.
U.S. economic data released during the fourth quarter showed that U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual 3.5% rate in the third quarter, the largest increase since mid-2014. Business investment by U.S. companies was mixed, with a 12.0% increase in structures and 4.5% decrease in equipment over the prior quarter on an annualized basis. Consumer confidence hit pre-recession levels for the first time in November, and increased again in December. The dollar strengthened during the quarter’s post-election period.
Supply and demand trends reflected volatility of municipals.
Demand for municipal debt, as measured by cash flows to municipal bond mutual funds, was negative for the reporting period. There were $19 billion of inflows from July through October, but a sharp reversal occurred post-election, with $26 billion of redemptions in the last two months of the year. This followed a

noteworthy 54 consecutive weeks of inflows. On the supply side, August through October saw 30-year record-breaking volumes each month; both refundings and new issuance were up. These levels were attributed to deals pulled forward in anticipation of higher interest rates. Not surprisingly, December volume was down 25% year-over-year to $19 billion. Total municipal bond issuance for the period was $219 billion; new issuance outpaced refundings by $18 billion.
Municipal credit fundamentals were solid.
Overall, municipal credit was sound for the period. The most significant development was the election of Ricardo Rossello as governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In the past, prices of Puerto Rico bonds reflected negative credit considerations, including defaults on its securities in 2015 and early 2016, but recent events point to a potentially more positive fiscal environment. Rossello campaigned, in part, on a platform that included promises to ultimately pay 100% of interest due on Puerto Rico’s outstanding municipal debt, negotiate with bondholders, and ration government expenditures. This stance is a major shift from his predecessor who focused on a bankruptcy mechanism.
Since the end of the financial crisis, structural changes in the fixed-income markets have reduced trading liquidity (the degree to which assets can be bought or sold without affecting the price). New regulations and capital requirements have caused traditional liquidity suppliers (banks and broker/dealers) to be more risk averse and hold less inventory. Meanwhile, corporate debt issuance has spiked as companies finance themselves at record-low yields, bond mutual funds hold larger amounts of this new debt supply, trading volumes are lower, and large-size trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appeared to function 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,

Andrew Owen

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 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.

6 | | 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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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 (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund | | | 17 | |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
Effective December 6, 2016, Class B shares of the Fund are no longer offered. Information for Class B shares reflected in the financial statements represents activity through December 5, 2016.
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
| | | | |
18 | | Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of 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:
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | 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 December 31, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At December 31, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
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 six months ended December 31, 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, 2017 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 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.
During the six months ended December 31, 2016, State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s custodian, reimbursed the Fund $5,249 for certain out-of-pocket expenses that were billed to the Fund in error from 1998-2015. This amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. In addition, Funds Management was also reimbursed $4,188 for waivers/reimbursements it made to the Fund during the period the Fund was erroneously billed.
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 six months ended December 31, 2016, Funds Distributor received $3,187 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.

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended December 31, 2016 were $19,751,119 and $38,774,741, 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 $250,000,000 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 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to August 30, 2016, the revolving credit agreement amount was $200,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.20% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the six months ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. 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.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
9. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate in December by 0.25%. Municipal bond yields rose sharply in the fourth quarter. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Municipal bond yields rose during the reporting period.
The municipal market reversed course in the second half of 2016, with yields increasing and prices declining. Initially the sell-off was driven by negative supply and demand trends, also known as technical factors. By the fourth quarter, fund flows turned negative (reversing a trend of 54 weeks of positive flows) and municipal bond supply increased. These deteriorating technical factors, along with the expectation of an expansionary fiscal policy and lower tax rates under the new administration, drove market volatility; credit spreads widened and the yield curve steepened as the market sold-off.
Stronger economic indicators drove monetary policy.
On December 14, the Fed hiked the short-term interest rate by 0.25% to reach a target range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This was the second rate increase in more than 10 years, with the Fed citing job gains and lower than expected unemployment of 4.6%. The Fed confirmed the continuation of an accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger labor market and reiterated its long-term objective of a 2% inflation rate, which increased slightly during the fourth quarter but fell short of the benchmark. The Fed expressed confidence in the economy’s progress and expects this positive trajectory to continue. Both sentiments helped to bolster the Fed’s expectation of three additional rate increases during 2017.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England continued its quantitative-easing program and lowered the official bank rate to 0.25% in August 2016. The Bank of Japan maintained its negative interest rate put in place earlier in the year, and in September announced an interest rate target for 10-year government bonds—keeping the yield at zero—as it struggles to accelerate economic growth. In December, the European Central Bank announced that it will extend its quantitative-easing program and continue purchasing large amounts of eurozone corporate and government debt each month through December 2017.
U.S. economic data released during the fourth quarter showed that U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual 3.5% rate in the third quarter, the largest increase since mid-2014. Business investment by U.S. companies was mixed, with a 12.0% increase in structures and 4.5% decrease in equipment over the prior quarter on an annualized basis. Consumer confidence hit pre-recession levels for the first time in November, and increased again in December. The dollar strengthened during the quarter’s post-election period.
Supply and demand trends reflected volatility of municipals.
Demand for municipal debt, as measured by cash flows to municipal bond mutual funds, was negative for the reporting period. There were $19 billion of inflows from July through October, but a sharp reversal occurred post-election, with $26 billion of redemptions in the last two months of the year. This followed a noteworthy 54 consecutive weeks of inflows. On the supply side, August through

October saw 30-year record-breaking volumes each month; both refundings and new issuance were up. These levels were attributed to deals pulled forward in anticipation of higher interest rates. Not surprisingly, December volume was down 25% year-over-year to $19 billion. Total municipal bond issuance for the period was $219 billion; new issuance outpaced refundings by $18 billion.
Municipal credit fundamentals were solid.
Overall, municipal credit was sound for the period. The most significant development was the election of Ricardo Rossello as governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In the past, prices of Puerto Rico bonds reflected negative credit considerations, including defaults on its securities in 2015 and early 2016, but recent events point to a potentially more positive fiscal environment. Rossello campaigned, in part, on a platform that included promises to ultimately pay 100% of interest due on Puerto Rico’s outstanding municipal debt, negotiate with bondholders, and ration government expenditures. This stance is a major shift from his predecessor who focused on a bankruptcy mechanism.
Since the end of the financial crisis, structural changes in the fixed-income markets have reduced trading liquidity (the degree to which assets can be bought or sold without affecting the price). New regulations and capital requirements have caused traditional liquidity suppliers (banks and broker/dealers) to be more risk averse and hold less inventory. Meanwhile, corporate debt issuance has spiked as companies finance themselves at record-low yields, bond mutual funds hold larger amounts of this new debt supply, trading volumes are lower, and large-size trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appeared to function 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,

Andrew Owen

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. 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 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, 2017, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver at 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 Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year Composite Municipal Bond Index (formerly known as Barclays 1-3 Year Composite Municipal Bond Index) is a blended index weighted 50% in the Bloomberg Barclays 1-Year Municipal Bond Index (fomerly known as Barclays 1-Year Municipal Bond Index) and 50% in the Bloomberg Barclays 3-Year Municipal Bond Index (fomerly known as Barclays 3-Year Municipal Bond Index). You cannot invest directly in an index. |
5 | 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. |
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. |

6 | | 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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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 (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | | | 39 | |
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 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.

Futures contracts
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains recognized for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had current year deferred post-October capital losses consisting of $2,044,486 in long-term losses which was recognized on the first day of the current fiscal year.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | 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 December 31, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At December 31, 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 AND OTHER EXPENSES
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 six months ended December 31, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.32% 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, 2017 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%
| | | | |
42 | | Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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.
During the six months ended December 31, 2016, State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s custodian, reimbursed the Fund $6,280 for certain out-of-pocket expenses that were billed to the Fund in error from 1998-2015. This amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. In addition, Funds Management was also reimbursed $3,206 for waivers/reimbursements it made to the Fund during the period the Fund was erroneously billed.
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 six months ended December 31, 2016, Funds Distributor received $3,521 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 six months ended December 31, 2016 were $637,875,326 and $585,699,260, 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 six months ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2016, the Fund did not have any open futures contracts. The Fund had an average notional amount of $58,820,022 in short futures contracts during the six months ended December 31, 2016.
The realized losses and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are reflected in the Statement of Operations.
7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds and certain other funds) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $250,000,000 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 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to August 30, 2016, the revolving credit agreement amount was $200,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.20% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the six months ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

9. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.

U.S. small-cap stocks returned 18.68% for the six-month period.
In December, the Fed hiked the short-term interest rate by 0.25% to reach a target range of 0.50% to 0.75%.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Small Cap Core Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. The U.S. economy ticked up as the period progressed. As expected, the Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate in December by 0.25%. U.S. small-cap stocks returned 18.68% for the six-month period, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index.1
U.S. stocks rose sharply after the U.S. presidential election.
In July, the stock market rallied from a low following the Brexit vote in June; a mostly steady trajectory continued in the U.S. stock market after that inflection point. However, stocks rose significantly immediately after the U.S. presidential election. The promise of pro-growth policies by the incoming administration—lower tax rates, less regulation, investments in infrastructure, better trade deals—set the momentum for this surge.
The types of companies leading the rally leaned toward ones that typically do well in a rising-rate environment, such as banks, and businesses likely to benefit from infrastructure spending and reduced regulations. Sectors that could be negatively affected by rising interest rates, such as utilities, delivered weaker results. Consumer confidence hit pre-recession levels for the first time in November and increased again in December. The dollar appreciated throughout the period; its strongest performance occurred in the post-election period.
Stronger economic indicators drove U.S. monetary policy.
In December, the Fed hiked the short-term interest rate by 0.25% to reach a target range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This was the second rate increase in more than 10 years, with the Fed citing job gains and lower than expected unemployment of 4.6%, down 0.3% from October. The Fed confirmed the continuation of an accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger labor market and reiterated its long-term objective of a 2% inflation rate, which increased slightly during the quarter but fell short of the benchmark. The Fed expressed confidence in the economy’s progress during the quarter and expects this positive trajectory to continue. Both of these sentiments helped to bolster the Fed’s expectation of three additional rate increases during 2017.
U.S. economic data released during the fourth quarter showed that U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual rate of 3.5% in the third quarter, the largest increase since mid-2014. Business investment by U.S. companies was mixed, with a 12.0% increase in structures and 4.5% decrease in equipment over the prior quarter on an annualized basis. Consumer spending slowed somewhat from the prior quarter, but late-December estimates from retail-research firms suggest that sales growth during the 2016 holiday season may outpace that of recent years.
Central banks continued with stimulus programs during 2016.
After voters in the U.K. approved a referendum in June to leave the European Union, the Bank of England lowered its interest rate in August to 0.25% and continued its quantitative easing program. The Bank of Japan maintained its negative interest rate put in place earlier in the year, and in September announced an interest rate target for 10-year government bonds—keeping the yield at zero—as it struggled to accelerate economic growth. In December, the European Central

Bank stated that it will extend its quantitative-easing program and continue purchasing large amounts of eurozone corporate and government debt each month through December 2017.

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 1.35% for Class A, 2.10% for Class C, 0.90% for Class R6, 1.25% for Administrator Class, and 1.00% 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, and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. |

6 | | 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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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 shares 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.
| | | | |
20 | | Wells Fargo Small Cap Core Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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.
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:
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | 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.

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 0.85% and declining to 0.71% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the six months ended December 31, 2016, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.85% 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. Golden Capital Management, LLC, an affiliate of Funds Management, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.55% and declining to 0.45% 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 | % |
Class R6 | | | 0.03 | |
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
| | | | |
22 | | Wells Fargo Small Cap Core Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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.
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 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.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended December 31, 2016 were $13,841,773 and $52,209,503, 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 $250,000,000 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 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to August 30, 2016, the revolving credit agreement amount was $200,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.20% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the six months ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
8. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate in December by 0.25%. Municipal bond yields rose sharply in the fourth quarter. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Municipal bond yields rose during the reporting period.
The municipal market reversed course in the second half of 2016, with yields increasing and prices declining. Initially the sell-off was driven by negative supply and demand trends, also known as technical factors. By the fourth quarter, fund flows turned negative (reversing a trend of 54 weeks of positive flows) and municipal bond supply increased. These deteriorating technical factors, along with the expectation of an expansionary fiscal policy and lower tax rates under the new administration, drove market volatility; credit spreads widened and the yield curve steepened as the market sold-off.
Stronger economic indicators drove monetary policy.
On December 14, the Fed hiked the short-term interest rate by 0.25% to reach a target range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This was the second rate increase in more than 10 years, with the Fed citing job gains and lower than expected unemployment of 4.6%. The Fed confirmed the continuation of an accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger labor market and reiterated its long-term objective of a 2% inflation rate, which increased slightly during the fourth quarter but fell short of the benchmark. The Fed expressed confidence in the economy’s progress and expects this positive trajectory to continue. Both sentiments helped to bolster the Fed’s expectation of three additional rate increases during 2017.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England continued its quantitative easing program and lowered the official bank rate to 0.25% in August 2016. The Bank of Japan maintained its negative interest rate put in place earlier in the year, and in September announced an interest rate target for 10-year government bonds—keeping the yield at zero—as it struggles to accelerate economic growth. In December, the European Central Bank announced that it will extend its quantitative-easing program and continue purchasing large amounts of eurozone corporate and government debt each month through December 2017.
U.S. economic data released during the fourth quarter showed that U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual 3.5% rate in the third quarter, the largest increase since mid-2014. Business investment by U.S. companies was mixed, with a 12.0% increase in structures and 4.5% decrease in equipment over the prior quarter on an annualized basis. Consumer confidence hit pre-recession levels for the first time in November, and increased again in December. The dollar strengthened during the quarter’s post-election period.
Supply and demand trends reflected volatility of municipals.
Demand for municipal debt, as measured by cash flows to municipal bond mutual funds, was negative for the reporting period. There were $19 billion of inflows from July through October, but a sharp reversal occurred post-election, with $26 billion of redemptions in the last two months of the year. This followed a

noteworthy 54 consecutive weeks of inflows. On the supply side, August through October saw 30-year record-breaking volumes each month; both refundings and new issuance were up. These levels were attributed to deals pulled forward in anticipation of higher interest rates. Not surprisingly, December volume was down 25% year-over-year to $19 billion. Total municipal bond issuance for the period was $219 billion; new issuance outpaced refundings by $18 billion.
Municipal credit fundamentals were solid.
Overall, municipal credit was sound for the period. The most significant development was the election of Ricardo Rossello as governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In the past, prices of Puerto Rico bonds reflected negative credit considerations, including defaults on its securities in 2015 and early 2016, but recent events point to a potentially more positive fiscal environment. Rossello campaigned, in part, on a platform that included promises to ultimately pay 100% of interest due on Puerto Rico’s outstanding municipal debt, negotiate with bondholders, and ration government expenditures. This stance is a major shift from his predecessor who focused on a bankruptcy mechanism.
Since the end of the financial crisis, structural changes in the fixed-income markets have reduced trading liquidity (the degree to which assets can be bought or sold without affecting the price). New regulations and capital requirements have caused traditional liquidity suppliers (banks and broker/dealers) to be more risk averse and hold less inventory. Meanwhile, corporate debt issuance has spiked as companies finance themselves at record-low yields, bond mutual funds hold larger amounts of this new debt supply, trading volumes are lower, and large-size trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appeared to function 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,

Andrew Owen

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.

You cannot invest directly in an index. |
5 | 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. |
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. |

6 | | 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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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 (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | | | 35 | |
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 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.
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.
| | | | |
36 | | Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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.
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 were recognized on the first day of the current fiscal year.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
| | | | | | |

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
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 six months ended December 31, 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, 2017 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,
| | | | |
38 | | Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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.
During the six months ended December 31, 2016, State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s custodian, reimbursed the Fund $5,336 for certain out-of-pocket expenses that were billed to the Fund in error from 1998-2015. This amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. In addition, Funds Management was also reimbursed $4,438 for waivers/reimbursements it made to the Fund during the period the Fund was erroneously billed.
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 six months ended December 31, 2016, Funds Distributor received $10,606 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 six months ended December 31, 2016 were $434,986,256 and $150,933,051, 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 six months ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2016, the Fund did not have any open futures contracts. The Fund had an average notional amount of $68,327,149 in short futures contracts during the six months ended December 31, 2016.
The realized gains and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts are reflected in the Statement of Operations.
7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds and certain other funds) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $250,000,000 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 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to August 30, 2016, the revolving credit agreement amount was $200,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.20% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the six months ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

9. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate in December by 0.25%. Municipal bond yields rose sharply in the fourth quarter. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Municipal bond yields rose during the reporting period.
The municipal market reversed course in the second half of 2016, with yields increasing and prices declining. Initially the sell-off was driven by negative supply and demand trends, also known as technical factors. By the fourth quarter, fund flows turned negative (reversing a trend of 54 weeks of positive flows) and municipal bond supply increased. These deteriorating technical factors, along with the expectation of an expansionary fiscal policy and lower tax rates under the new administration, drove market volatility; credit spreads widened and the yield curve steepened as the market sold-off.
Stronger economic indicators drove monetary policy.
On December 14, the Fed hiked the short-term interest rate by 0.25% to reach a target range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This was the second rate increase in more than 10 years, with the Fed citing job gains and lower than expected unemployment of 4.6%. The Fed confirmed the continuation of an accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger labor market and reiterated its long-term objective of a 2% inflation rate, which increased slightly during the fourth quarter but fell short of the benchmark. The Fed expressed confidence in the economy’s progress and expects this positive trajectory to continue. Both sentiments helped to bolster the Fed’s expectation of three additional rate increases during 2017.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England continued its quantitative-easing program and lowered the official bank rate to 0.25% in August 2016. The Bank of Japan maintained its negative interest rate put in place earlier in the year, and in September announced an interest rate target for 10-year government bonds—keeping the yield at zero—as it struggles to accelerate economic growth. In December, the European Central Bank announced that it will extend its quantitative-easing program and continue purchasing large amounts of eurozone corporate and government debt each month through December 2017.
U.S. economic data released during the fourth quarter showed that U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual 3.5% rate in the third quarter, the largest increase since mid-2014. Business investment by U.S. companies was mixed, with a 12.0% increase in structures and 4.5% decrease in equipment over the prior quarter on an annualized basis. Consumer confidence hit pre-recession levels for the first time in November, and increased again in December. The dollar strengthened during the quarter’s post-election period.
Supply and demand trends reflected volatility of municipals.
Demand for municipal debt, as measured by cash flows to municipal bond mutual funds, was negative for the reporting period. There were $19 billion of inflows from July through October, but a sharp reversal occurred post-election, with
$26 billion of redemptions in the last two months of the year. This followed a

noteworthy 54 consecutive weeks of inflows. On the supply side, August through October saw 30-year record-breaking volumes each month; both refundings and new issuance were up. These levels were attributed to deals pulled forward in anticipation of higher interest rates. Not surprisingly, December volume was down 25% year-over-year to $19 billion. Total municipal bond issuance for the period was $219 billion; new issuance outpaced refundings by $18 billion.
Municipal credit fundamentals were solid.
Overall, municipal credit was sound for the period. The most significant development was the election of Ricardo Rossello as governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In the past, prices of Puerto Rico bonds reflected negative credit considerations, including defaults on its securities in 2015 and early 2016, but recent events point to a potentially more positive fiscal environment. Rossello campaigned, in part, on a platform that included promises to ultimately pay 100% of interest due on Puerto Rico’s outstanding municipal debt, negotiate with bondholders, and ration government expenditures. This stance is a major shift from his predecessor who focused on a bankruptcy mechanism.
Since the end of the financial crisis, structural changes in the fixed-income markets have reduced trading liquidity (the degree to which assets can be bought or sold without affecting the price). New regulations and capital requirements have caused traditional liquidity suppliers (banks and broker/dealers) to be more risk averse and hold less inventory. Meanwhile, corporate debt issuance has spiked as companies finance themselves at record-low yields, bond mutual funds hold larger amounts of this new debt supply, trading volumes are lower, and large-size trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appeared to function 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.

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 Bloomberg Barclays 1-Year Municipal Bond Index (formerly known as Barclays 1-Year Municipal Bond Index) is the one-year component of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (fomerly known as Barclays Municipal Bond Index), which 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 | 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. |
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. |

6 | | 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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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 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
| | | | |
22 | | Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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:
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | 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.
| | | | | | |

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
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 six months ended December 31, 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 | |
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, 2017 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.

During the six months ended December 31, 2016, State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s custodian, reimbursed the Fund $7 for certain out-of-pocket expenses that were billed to the Fund in error from 1998-2015. This amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. In addition, Funds Management was also reimbursed $3,129 for waivers/reimbursements it made to the Fund during the period the Fund was erroneously billed.
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 six months ended December 31, 2016, Funds Distributor received $2,689 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

Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown.
6. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS
During the six months ended December 31, 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.

The fair value, realized gains or losses and change in unrealized gains or losses, if any, on derivative instruments are reflected in the appropriate financial statements.
7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds and certain other funds) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $250,000,000 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 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to August 30, 2016, the revolving credit agreement amount was $200,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.20% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the six months ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

9. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Dear Shareholder:
As the new president of Wells Fargo Funds now that Karla Rabusch is retiring from that position after nearly 14 years, I am pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2016. The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate in December by 0.25%. Municipal bond yields rose sharply in the fourth quarter. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,1 a broad measure tracking investment-grade municipal bonds, lost 3.91% during the six-month reporting period.
Municipal bond yields rose during the reporting period.
The municipal market reversed course in the second half of 2016, with yields increasing and prices declining. Initially the sell-off was driven by negative supply and demand trends, also known as technical factors. By the fourth quarter, fund flows turned negative (reversing a trend of 54 weeks of positive flows) and municipal bond supply increased. These deteriorating technical factors, along with the expectation of an expansionary fiscal policy and lower tax rates under the new administration, drove market volatility; credit spreads widened and the yield curve steepened as the market sold-off.
Stronger economic indicators drove monetary policy.
On December 14, the Fed hiked the short-term interest rate by 0.25% to reach a target range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This was the second rate increase in more than 10 years, with the Fed citing job gains and lower than expected unemployment of 4.6%. The Fed confirmed the continuation of an accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger labor market and reiterated its long-term objective of a 2% inflation rate, which increased slightly during the fourth quarter but fell short of the benchmark. The Fed expressed confidence in the economy’s progress and expects this positive trajectory to continue. Both sentiments helped to bolster the Fed’s expectation of three additional rate increases during 2017.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England continued its quantitative-easing program and lowered the official bank rate to 0.25% in August 2016. The Bank of Japan maintained its negative interest rate put in place earlier in the year, and in September announced an interest rate target for 10-year government bonds—keeping the yield at zero—as it struggles to accelerate economic growth. In December, the European Central Bank announced that it will extend its quantitative-easing program and continue purchasing large amounts of eurozone corporate and government debt each month through December 2017.
U.S. economic data released during the fourth quarter showed that U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual 3.5% rate in the third quarter, the largest increase since mid-2014. Business investment by U.S. companies was mixed, with a 12.0% increase in structures and 4.5% decrease in equipment over the prior quarter on an annualized basis. Consumer confidence hit pre-recession levels for the first time in November, and increased again in December. The dollar strengthened during the quarter’s post-election period.
Supply and demand trends reflected volatility of municipals.
Demand for municipal debt, as measured by cash flows to municipal bond mutual funds, was negative for the reporting period. There were $19 billion of inflows from July through October, but a sharp reversal occurred post-election, with $26 billion of redemptions in the last two months of the year. This followed a

noteworthy 54 consecutive weeks of inflows. On the supply side, August through October saw 30-year record-breaking volumes each month; both refundings and new issuance were up. These levels were attributed to deals pulled forward in anticipation of higher interest rates. Not surprisingly, December volume was down 25% year-over-year to $19 billion. Total municipal bond issuance for the period was $219 billion; new issuance outpaced refundings by $18 billion.
Municipal credit fundamentals were solid.
Overall, municipal credit was sound for the period. The most significant development was the election of Ricardo Rossello as governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In the past, prices of Puerto Rico bonds reflected negative credit considerations, including defaults on its securities in 2015 and early 2016, but recent events point to a potentially more positive fiscal environment. Rossello campaigned, in part, on a platform that included promises to ultimately pay 100% of interest due on Puerto Rico’s outstanding municipal debt, negotiate with bondholders, and ration government expenditures. This stance is a major shift from his predecessor who focused on a bankruptcy mechanism.
Since the end of the financial crisis, structural changes in the fixed-income markets have reduced trading liquidity (the degree to which assets can be bought or sold without affecting the price). New regulations and capital requirements have caused traditional liquidity suppliers (banks and broker/dealers) to be more risk averse and hold less inventory. Meanwhile, corporate debt issuance has spiked as companies finance themselves at record-low yields, bond mutual funds hold larger amounts of this new debt supply, trading volumes are lower, and large-size trades are more difficult to execute. However, fixed-income markets appeared to function 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,

Andrew Owen

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 Wisconsin and Puerto Rico 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.

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 Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (formerly known as 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 Bloomberg Barclays Wisconsin Municipal Bond Index (formerly known as Barclays Wisconsin Municipal Bond Index) is the Wisconsin component of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
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. |

6 | | Wells Fargo Wisconsin 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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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 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 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 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 (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund | | | 19 | |
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:
∎ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
∎ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, use of amortized cost, etc.) |
∎ | | 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 December 31, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |
Assets | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Investments in : | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Municipal obligations | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 156,604,009 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 156,604,009 | |
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At December 31, 2016, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
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 six months ended December 31, 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, 2017 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, and 0.52% 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.
During the six months ended December 31, 2016, State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s custodian, reimbursed the Fund $7 for certain out-of-pocket expenses that were billed to the Fund in error from 1998-2015. This amount is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. In addition, Funds Management was also reimbursed $3,045 for waivers/reimbursements it made to the Fund during the period the Fund was erroneously billed.
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 six months ended December 31, 2016, Funds Distributor received $1,374 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 six months ended December 31, 2016 were $20,236,551 and $15,110,000, 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 $250,000,000 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 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund. Prior to August 30, 2016, the revolving credit agreement amount was $200,000,000 and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.20% of the unused balance which was allocated to each participating fund.
For the six months ended December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. 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.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
9. REGULATORY CHANGES
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms and amended existing rules and forms (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The final rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the Fund’s financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017 while the compliance date for the new form types is June 1, 2018 and the compliance date for the liquidity risk management program requirements is December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these enhancements and their impact on the financial statement disclosures and reporting requirements.
