Yields on money market funds benefited during the period.
During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April.
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2018. Yields on money market funds benefited during the period. As the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) moved toward a more normalized monetary policy after an extended term of low interest rates following the global financial crisis during 2007 and 2008, its steady pace of interest rate increases helped raise yields on short-term money market instruments.
Globally, stock markets followed a less consistent path during the period. After advancing during the summer and fall of 2017 in a roughly synchronized way, economic growth and stock markets globally diverged during the first seven months of 2018. For fixed-income investors, higher U.S. interest rates, rising inflation, and intensifying global geopolitical tensions tended to restrain taxable bond prices while high-yield and municipal bond investors generally enjoyed positive returns.
For the period, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 0.70%, and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 fell 6.66%. Emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 dropped 11.94%. In bond markets, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 declined 0.45% while fixed-income investments outside the U.S. fell 4.57%, according to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index.5 The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 added 1.18%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 was up 0.55%.
Volatility reemerged during the first quarter of 2018 as economic signals were mixed.
The first quarter of 2018 began with stock market gains in January following U.S. tax reform that lowered rates for individuals and corporations and deregulation advanced in some economic sectors. Then, investor optimism was supplanted by several concerns. Trade tensions intensified, particularly between the U.S. and China. The U.S. threatened to impose tariffs on a broad range of imported products. Increasing interest rates and inflation also caused concern. During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April. The S&P 500 Index closed the first quarter with a negative return, the first negative quarterly return for the index since 2014.

The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) in March 2018 and the rate of inflation reached the Fed’s 2% target for the first time in a year. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. The third revision of first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released during June 2018 was lowered to 2.0%.
Overseas, investment market returns reversed the strong returns of 2017. After having gained 27.19% for the 12-month period that ended on December 31, 2017, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) fell 1.46% for the seven-month period that ended July 31, 2018. The U.S. dollar strengthened relative to local currencies, which served to restrain returns.
Global trade tensions escalated during the second quarter and into the third quarter of 2018.
Global trade tensions escalated as the second quarter of 2018 opened and equity markets fell in response before resuming upward momentum later in April. The U.S. government imposed tariffs on products and commodities imported from other markets in North America, Europe, and Asia. In retaliation, governments imposed tariffs on U.S. products and commodities. In addition, the U.S. pushed its North American neighbors to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, furthering trade tensions and investor uncertainty.
The CPI-U8 added 0.2% in May after a similar increase in April. On a year-over-year basis, the all-items index rose 2.8% for the 12 months that ended May 31, continuing its upward trend since the beginning of the year. The index for all items less food and energy rose 2.2% for the same 12-month period. Interest rates generally increased and the bond markets tended to decline.
During June 2018, the Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps. Investment markets began to anticipate two more rate increases in 2018. Long-term interest rates in the U.S. trended higher—rates on the 10-year and 30-year Treasury bonds moved from 2.46% and 2.81%, respectively, on January 1, 2018, to 2.96% and 3.08%, respectively, on July 31, 2018. While higher at the end of the period, rates were off their peak levels on May 17, 2018, of 3.11% and 3.25%, respectively. Investors became more aware of and concerned about the potential for an inverted yield curve—sometimes a recession signal—as short-term rates increased more quickly than long-term rates.
The unemployment rate fell to 3.9% in July after ticking up slightly in June from May’s 3.8% level, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The annualized rate of GDP growth for the second quarter of 2018 was reported in July to be 4.1%, the highest level since the third quarter of 2014, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Internationally, the prospects for a smooth U.K. Brexit agreement was cast into doubt as members of Prime Minister Theresa May’s negotiating team resigned. Despite the uncertainty, the period closed with expectations that the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee in July would announce an increase in its key interest rate to 0.75%, which it did in early August.
Meanwhile, central banks in Europe and Japan maintained low interest rates and accommodative monetary policies. Amid rising trade uncertainty, People’s Bank of China monetary policies shifted with cuts to reserve requirement ratios and implementation of supportive measures such as accelerated infrastructure spending and tax cuts for small and medium enterprises and for individuals. Nevertheless, a strengthening U.S. dollar and the tensions associated with trade policies remained headwinds for investors overseas.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment returns will fluctuate. The Fund’s yield figures more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund than the total return figures. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wellsfargofunds.com.
Class A shares, Premier Class shares, and Service Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge. 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.
For retail money market funds: You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The Fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.

1 | Historical performance shown for Class C shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the former Class B shares. Historical performance shown for the Premier Class shares prior to its inception reflects the performance of Class A shares, and includes expenses that are not applicable to and higher than those of the Premier Class shares. Historical performance shown for Service 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 for Service Class shares would be higher. |
2 | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2019, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers 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 (if any), and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been 1.46%, 0.70%, 1.85%, 1.56%, and for Class A, Class C, Premier Class, and Service Class, respectively. The expense ratio paid by an investor is the net expense ratio (the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers) as stated in the prospectuses. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

8 | | Wells Fargo Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder 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 February 1, 2018 to July 31, 2018.
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 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 Money Market Fund | | | 21 | |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
Effective at the close of business on July 5, 2017, Class B shares were converted to Class A shares and are no longer offered by the Fund. Information for Class B shares reflected in the financial statements represents activity through July 5, 2017.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity.
Investments which are not valued using the method discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee at 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 Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadvisers. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Funds Management. Repurchase agreements are agreements where the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase that security from the Fund at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain a market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by U.S. government securities. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
| | | | |
22 | | Wells Fargo Money Market Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. 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 been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. 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 declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
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 July 31, 2018, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
As of January 31, 2018, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains in the amount of $375,638 expiring in 2019.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to 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, 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.

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:

Premier Class | | | 0.08 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund.

expenses before fund level expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.60% for Class A shares, 1.35% for Class C shares, 0.20% for Premier Class shares, and 0.50% for Service Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Prior to June 1, 2018, the Fund’s expenses were capped at 0.65% for Class A shares and 1.40% for Class C shares.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

In addition, Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class C shares for the six months ended July 31, 2018.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C, and Service Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of each class.

Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell investment securities to certain other Wells Fargo affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices.
5. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo Money Market Fund
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 22-23, 2018 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”), an affiliate of Funds Management; and (iii) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. d/b/a Wells Capital Management Singapore (“WellsCap Singapore”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The sub-advisory agreements with WellsCap and WellsCap Singapore (the “Sub-Advisers”) are collectively referred to as the Sub-Advisory Agreements, and the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2018, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2018. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and investment performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”), of which Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers are a part, a summary of investments made in the business of WFAM, a summary of certain organizational and personnel changes involving Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers, and a description of Funds Management’s and the Sub-Advisers’ business continuity planning programs and of their approaches to data privacy and cybersecurity. The Board also considered the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.

Fund investment performance and expenses
The Board considered the investment performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2017. The Board considered these results in comparison to the investment performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”) and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the investment performance of the Fund (Class A) was higher than or in range of the average investment performance of the Universe for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were in range of, lower than, or equal to the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for all share classes except Class C. The Board noted that the net operating expense ratio caps for the Fund’s Class A and Class C would be reduced.
The Board took into account the Fund’s investment performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include, among other things, class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Advisers for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or in range of the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes except Class A and Class C. The Board noted that the net operating expense ratio caps for the Fund’s Class A and Class C would be reduced. The Board also discussed and accepted Funds Management’s proposal to revise the Management Agreement to reduce the management fees paid by the Fund to Funds Management.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Advisers for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Advisers, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. Given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreements was reasonable.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of both WFAM and Wells Fargo & Co. (“Wells Fargo”) as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Advisers’ profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the WFAM and Wells Fargo profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses and recent enhancements made to the methodology. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management, WFAM or Wells Fargo from services provided to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

Economies of scale
The Board considered the extent to which Funds Management may experience economies of scale in the provision of management services, and the extent to which scale benefits, if any, would be shared with shareholders. In particular, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints and fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, as well as investments in the business intended to enhance services available to Fund shareholders, are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund. The also Board discussed and accepted Funds Management’s proposal to revise the Management Agreement to reduce the management fees paid by the Fund to Funds Management.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Advisers, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Advisers’ business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Advisers, fees earned by Funds Management and WellsCap from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Advisers, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Yields on money market funds benefited during the period.
During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April.
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo National Tax-Free Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2018. Yields on money market funds benefited during the period. As the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) moved toward a more normalized monetary policy after an extended term of low interest rates following the global financial crisis during 2007 and 2008, its steady pace of interest rate increases helped raise yields on short-term money market instruments.
Globally, stock markets followed a less consistent path during the period. After advancing during the summer and fall of 2017 in a roughly synchronized way, economic growth and stock markets globally diverged during the first seven months of 2018. For fixed-income investors, higher U.S. interest rates, rising inflation, and intensifying global geopolitical tensions tended to restrain taxable bond prices while high-yield and municipal bond investors generally enjoyed positive returns.
For the period, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 0.70%, and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 fell 6.66%. Emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 dropped 11.94%. In bond markets, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 declined 0.45% while fixed-income investments outside the U.S. fell 4.57%, according to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index.5 The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 added 1.18%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 was up 0.55%.
Volatility reemerged during the first quarter of 2018 as economic signals were mixed.
The first quarter of 2018 began with stock market gains in January following U.S. tax reform that lowered rates for individuals and corporations and deregulation advanced in some economic sectors. Then, investor optimism was supplanted by several concerns. Trade tensions intensified, particularly between the U.S. and China. The U.S. threatened to impose tariffs on a broad range of imported products. Increasing interest rates and inflation also caused concern. During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April. The S&P 500 Index closed the first quarter with a negative return, the first negative quarterly return for the index since 2014.

The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) in March 2018 and the rate of inflation reached the Fed’s 2% target for the first time in a year. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. The third revision of first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released during June 2018 was lowered to 2.0%.
Overseas, investment market returns reversed the strong returns of 2017. After having gained 27.19% for the 12-month period that ended on December 31, 2017, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) fell 1.46% for the seven-month period that ended July 31, 2018. The U.S. dollar strengthened relative to local currencies, which served to restrain returns.
Global trade tensions escalated during the second quarter and into the third quarter of 2018.
Global trade tensions escalated as the second quarter of 2018 opened and equity markets fell in response before resuming upward momentum later in April. The U.S. government imposed tariffs on products and commodities imported from other markets in North America, Europe, and Asia. In retaliation, governments imposed tariffs on U.S. products and commodities. In addition, the U.S. pushed its North American neighbors to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, furthering trade tensions and investor uncertainty.
The CPI-U8 added 0.2% in May after a similar increase in April. On a year-over-year basis, the all-items index rose 2.8% for the 12 months that ended May 31, continuing its upward trend since the beginning of the year. The index for all items less food and energy rose 2.2% for the same 12-month period. Interest rates generally increased and the bond markets tended to decline.
During June 2018, the Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps. Investment markets began to anticipate two more rate increases in 2018. Long-term interest rates in the U.S. trended higher—rates on the 10-year and 30-year Treasury bonds moved from 2.46% and 2.81%, respectively, on January 1, 2018, to 2.96% and 3.08%, respectively, on July 31, 2018. While higher at the end of the period, rates were off their peak levels on May 17, 2018, of 3.11% and 3.25%, respectively. Investors became more aware of and concerned about the potential for an inverted yield curve—sometimes a recession signal—as short-term rates increased more quickly than long-term rates.
The unemployment rate fell to 3.9% in July after ticking up slightly in June from May’s 3.8% level, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The annualized rate of GDP growth for the second quarter of 2018 was reported in July to be 4.1%, the highest level since the third quarter of 2014, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Internationally, the prospects for a smooth U.K. Brexit agreement was cast into doubt as members of Prime Minister Theresa May’s negotiating team resigned. Despite the uncertainty, the period closed with expectations that the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee in July would announce an increase in its key interest rate to 0.75%, which it did in early August.
Meanwhile, central banks in Europe and Japan maintained low interest rates and accommodative monetary policies. Amid rising trade uncertainty, People’s Bank of China monetary policies shifted with cuts to reserve requirement ratios and implementation of supportive measures such as accelerated infrastructure spending and tax cuts for small and medium enterprises and for individuals. Nevertheless, a strengthening U.S. dollar and the tensions associated with trade policies remained headwinds for investors overseas.

Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses (if any), and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been 0.39%, 0.66%, 0.78%, and 0.49% for Class A, Administrator Class, Premier Class, and Service Class, respectively. The expense ratio paid by an investor is the net expense ratio (the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers) as stated in the prospectuses. |
3 | 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. |
4 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

8 | | Wells Fargo National Tax-Free Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 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 February 1, 2018 to July 31, 2018.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

26 | | Wells Fargo National Tax-Free Money Market Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo National Tax-Free Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity.
Investments which are not valued using the method discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Funds. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee at 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 Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Funds Management. Repurchase agreements are agreements where the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase that security from the Fund at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain a market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by instruments such as U.S. Treasury, federal agency, or high-grade corporate obligations. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. 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 been determined to be doubtful based on consistently
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo National Tax-Free Money Market Fund | | | 27 | |
applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. 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 declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
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 July 31, 2018, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in shareholder servicing and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to 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, 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 July 31, 2018:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 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 July 31, 2018, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser and providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.13% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the six months ended July 31, 2018, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15% 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 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers.
As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A | | | 0.22 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Premier Class | | | 0.08 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. When each class of the Fund has exceeded its expense cap, Funds Management has waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses; otherwise, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund level expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.60% for Class A shares, 0.30% for Administrator Class shares, 0.20% for Premier Class shares, and 0.45% for Service Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Prior to June 1, 2018, the Fund’s expenses were capped at 0.64% for Class A shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A and Service Class of the Fund is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of each class. Administrator Class is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain other Wells Fargo affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Pursuant to these procedures, the Fund had $755,003,000 and $530,802,000 in interfund purchases and sales, respectively, during the year ended July 31, 2018.

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

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo National Tax-Free Money Market Fund
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 22-23, 2018 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo National Tax-Free Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2018, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2018. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and investment performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”), of which Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser are a part, a summary of investments made in the business of WFAM, a summary of certain organizational and personnel changes involving Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, and a description of Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business continuity planning programs and of their approaches to data privacy and cybersecurity. The Board also considered the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.

Fund investment performance and expenses
The Board considered the investment performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2017. The Board considered these results in comparison to the investment performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”) and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the investment performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was higher than the average investment performance of the Universe for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than, equal to, or in range of the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for each share class except Class A. The Board noted that the net operating expense ratio cap for Class A would be reduced.
The Board took into account the Fund’s investment performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include, among other things, class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or in range of the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. Given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of both WFAM and Wells Fargo & Co. (“Wells Fargo”) as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the WFAM and Wells Fargo profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses and recent enhancements made to the methodology. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management, WFAM or Wells Fargo from services provided to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

Economies of scale
The Board considered the extent to which Funds Management may experience economies of scale in the provision of management services, and the extent to which scale benefits, if any, would be shared with shareholders. In particular, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints and fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, as well as investments in the business intended to enhance services available to Fund shareholders, are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Wells Fargo Funds
Yields on money market funds benefited during the period.
During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April.
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Cash Investment Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2018. Yields on money market funds benefited during the period. As the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) moved toward a more normalized monetary policy after an extended term of low interest rates following the global financial crisis during 2007 and 2008, its steady pace of interest rate increases helped raise yields on short-term money market instruments.
Globally, stock markets followed a less consistent path during the period. After advancing during the summer and fall of 2017 in a roughly synchronized way, economic growth and stock markets globally diverged during the first seven months of 2018. For fixed-income investors, higher U.S. interest rates, rising inflation, and intensifying global geopolitical tensions tended to restrain taxable bond prices while high-yield and municipal bond investors generally enjoyed positive returns.
For the period, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 0.70%, and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 fell 6.66%. Emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 dropped 11.94%. In bond markets, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 declined 0.45% while fixed-income investments outside the U.S. fell 4.57%, according to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index.5 The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 added 1.18%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 was up 0.55%.
Volatility reemerged during the first quarter of 2018 as economic signals were mixed.
The first quarter of 2018 began with stock market gains in January following U.S. tax reform that lowered rates for individuals and corporations and deregulation advanced in some economic sectors. Then, investor optimism was supplanted by several concerns. Trade tensions intensified, particularly between the U.S. and China. The U.S. threatened to impose tariffs on a broad range of imported products. Increasing interest rates and inflation also caused concern. During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April. The S&P 500 Index closed the first quarter with a negative return, the first negative quarterly return for the index since 2014.

The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) in March 2018 and the rate of inflation reached the Fed’s 2% target for the first time in a year. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. The third revision of first- quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released during June 2018 was lowered to 2.0%.
Overseas, investment market returns reversed the strong returns of 2017. After having gained 27.19% for the 12-month period that ended on December 31, 2017, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) fell 1.46% for the seven-month period that ended July 31, 2018. The U.S. dollar strengthened relative to local currencies, which served to restrain returns.
Global trade tensions escalated during the second quarter and into the third quarter of 2018.
Global trade tensions escalated as the second quarter of 2018 opened and equity markets fell in response before resuming upward momentum later in April. The U.S. government imposed tariffs on products and commodities imported from other markets in North America, Europe, and Asia. In retaliation, governments imposed tariffs on U.S. products and commodities. In addition, the U.S. pushed its North American neighbors to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, furthering trade tensions and investor uncertainty.
The CPI-U8 added 0.2% in May after a similar increase in April. On a year-over-year basis, the all-items index rose 2.8% for the 12 months that ended May 31, continuing its upward trend since the beginning of the year. The index for all items less food and energy rose 2.2% for the same 12-month period. Interest rates generally increased and the bond markets tended to decline.
During June 2018, the Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps. Investment markets began to anticipate two more rate increases in 2018. Long-term interest rates in the U.S. trended higher—rates on the 10-year and 30-year Treasury bonds moved from 2.46% and 2.81%, respectively, on January 1, 2018, to 2.96% and 3.08%, respectively, on July 31, 2018. While higher at the end of the period, rates were off their peak levels on May 17, 2018, of 3.11% and 3.25%, respectively. Investors became more aware of and concerned about the potential for an inverted yield curve—sometimes a recession signal—as short-term rates increased more quickly than long-term rates.
The unemployment rate fell to 3.9% in July after ticking up slightly in June from May’s 3.8% level, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The annualized rate of GDP growth for the second quarter of 2018 was reported in July to be 4.1%, the highest level since the third quarter of 2014, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Internationally, the prospects for a smooth U.K. Brexit agreement was cast into doubt as members of Prime Minister Theresa May’s negotiating team resigned. Despite the uncertainty, the period closed with expectations that the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee in July would announce an increase in its key interest rate to 0.75%, which it did in early August.
Meanwhile, central banks in Europe and Japan maintained low interest rates and accommodative monetary policies. Amid rising trade uncertainty, People’s Bank of China monetary policies shifted with cuts to reserve requirement ratios and implementation of supportive measures such as accelerated infrastructure spending and tax cuts for small and medium enterprises and for individuals. Nevertheless, a strengthening U.S. dollar and the tensions associated with trade policies remained headwinds for investors overseas.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment returns will fluctuate. The Fund’s yield figures more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund than the total return figures. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wellsfargofunds.com.
Each class is sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
For floating NAV money market funds: You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Because the share price of the Fund will fluctuate, when you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you originally paid for them. The Fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.

1 | 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. |
2 | The manager has contractually committed through May 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 Waivers 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 (if any), and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been 1.86%, 1.98%, 2.02%, and 1.69% for Administrator Class, Institutional Class, Select Class, and Service Class, respectively. The expense ratio paid by an investor is the net expense ratio (the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers) as stated in the prospectuses. |
3 | 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. |
4 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

8 | | Wells Fargo Cash Investment Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 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 February 1, 2018 to July 31, 2018.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Cash Investment Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
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 Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee at 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 Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Funds Management. Repurchase agreements are agreements where the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase that security from the Fund at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain a market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by U.S. government securities. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. 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 been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. 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 accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital.
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 July 31, 2018, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,414,754,443 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
| | | | |
Gross unrealized gains | | $ | 138,056 | |
Gross unrealized losses | | | (5,708 | ) |
Net unrealized gains | | $ | 132,348 | |
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in shareholder servicing and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized 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 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, 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 subadvisers and providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.13% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the six months ended July 31, 2018, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of certain subadvisers to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”), an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is a subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. Wells Capital Management Singapore, a separately identifiable department of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., an affiliate of Funds Management and wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is also a subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from WellsCap at an annual rate starting at 0.0025% and declining to 0.0005% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | % |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Select Class | | | 0.04 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
| | | | | | |
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Cash Investment Money Market Fund | | | 25 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. Waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses by Funds Management were made first from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.35% for Administrator Class shares, 0.20% for Institutional Class shares, 0.13% for Select Class shares, and 0.50% for Service Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. During the six months ended July 31, 2018, Funds Management voluntarily waived additional expenses beyond the contractual expense caps.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents whereby Administrator Class and Service Class of the Fund are each charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% and 0.25% of their respective average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain other Wells Fargo affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices.
5. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 22-23, 2018 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Cash Investment Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”), an affiliate of Funds Management; and (iii) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. d/b/a Wells Capital Management Singapore (“WellsCap Singapore”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The sub-advisory agreements with WellsCap and WellsCap Singapore (the “Sub-Advisers”) are collectively referred to as the Sub-Advisory Agreements, and the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2018, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2018. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and investment performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”), of which Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers are a part, a summary of investments made in the business of WFAM, a summary of certain organizational and personnel changes involving Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers, and a description of Funds Management’s and the Sub-Advisers’ business continuity planning programs and of their approaches to data privacy and cybersecurity. The Board also considered the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.

The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund investment performance and expenses
The Board considered the investment performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2017. The Board considered these results in comparison to the investment performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the investment performance Universe. The Board noted that the investment performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was higher than or in range of the average investment performance of the Universe for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or in range of the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board took into account the Fund’s investment performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include, among other things, class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Advisers for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or in range of the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Advisers for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Advisers, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. Given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreements was reasonable.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of both WFAM and Wells Fargo & Co. (“Wells Fargo”) as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Advisers’ profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the WFAM and Wells Fargo profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses and recent enhancements made to the methodology. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely,
| | | | |
32 | | Wells Fargo Cash Investment Money Market Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management, WFAM or Wells Fargo from services provided to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
The Board considered the extent to which Funds Management may experience economies of scale in the provision of management services, and the extent to which scale benefits, if any, would be shared with shareholders. In particular, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints and fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, as well as investments in the business intended to enhance services available to Fund shareholders, are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Advisers, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Advisers’ business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Advisers, fees earned by Funds Management and WellsCap from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Advisers, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Yields on money market funds benefited during the period.
During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April.
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Heritage Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2018. Yields on money market funds benefited during the period. As the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) moved toward a more normalized monetary policy after an extended term of low interest rates following the global financial crisis during 2007 and 2008, its steady pace of interest rate increases helped raise yields on short-term money market instruments.
Globally, stock markets followed a less consistent path during the period. After advancing during the summer and fall of 2017 in a roughly synchronized way, economic growth and stock markets globally diverged during the first seven months of 2018. For fixed-income investors, higher U.S. interest rates, rising inflation, and intensifying global geopolitical tensions tended to restrain taxable bond prices while high-yield and municipal bond investors generally enjoyed positive returns.
For the period, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 0.70%, and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 fell 6.66%. Emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 dropped 11.94%. In bond markets, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 declined 0.45% while fixed-income investments outside the U.S. fell 4.57%, according to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index.5 The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 added 1.18%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 was up 0.55%.
Volatility reemerged during the first quarter of 2018 as economic signals were mixed.
The first quarter of 2018 began with stock market gains in January following U.S. tax reform that lowered rates for individuals and corporations and deregulation advanced in some economic sectors. Then, investor optimism was supplanted by several concerns. Trade tensions intensified, particularly between the U.S. and China. The U.S. threatened to impose tariffs on a broad range of imported products. Increasing interest rates and inflation also caused concern. During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April. The S&P 500 Index closed the first quarter with a negative return, the first negative quarterly return for the index since 2014.

The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) in March 2018 and the rate of inflation reached the Fed’s 2% target for the first time in a year. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. The third revision of first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released during June 2018 was lowered to 2.0%.
Overseas, investment market returns reversed the strong returns of 2017. After having gained 27.19% for the 12-month period that ended on December 31, 2017, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) fell 1.46% for the seven-month period that ended July 31, 2018. The U.S. dollar strengthened relative to local currencies, which served to restrain returns.
Global trade tensions escalated during the second quarter and into the third quarter of 2018.
Global trade tensions escalated as the second quarter of 2018 opened and equity markets fell in response before resuming upward momentum later in April. The U.S. government imposed tariffs on products and commodities imported from other markets in North America, Europe, and Asia. In retaliation, governments imposed tariffs on U.S. products and commodities. In addition, the U.S. pushed its North American neighbors to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, furthering trade tensions and investor uncertainty.
The CPI-U8 added 0.2% in May after a similar increase in April. On a year-over-year basis, the all-items index rose 2.8% for the 12 months that ended May 31, continuing its upward trend since the beginning of the year. The index for all items less food and energy rose 2.2% for the same 12-month period. Interest rates generally increased and the bond markets tended to decline.
During June 2018, the Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps. Investment markets began to anticipate two more rate increases in 2018. Long-term interest rates in the U.S. trended higher—rates on the 10-year and 30-year Treasury bonds moved from 2.46% and 2.81%, respectively, on January 1, 2018, to 2.96% and 3.08%, respectively, on July 31, 2018. While higher at the end of the period, rates were off their peak levels on May 17, 2018, of 3.11% and 3.25%, respectively. Investors became more aware of and concerned about the potential for an inverted yield curve—sometimes a recession signal—as short-term rates increased more quickly than long-term rates.
The unemployment rate fell to 3.9% in July after ticking up slightly in June from May’s 3.8% level, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The annualized rate of GDP growth for the second quarter of 2018 was reported in July to be 4.1%, the highest level since the third quarter of 2014, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Internationally, the prospects for a smooth U.K. Brexit agreement was cast into doubt as members of Prime Minister Theresa May’s negotiating team resigned. Despite the uncertainty, the period closed with expectations that the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee in July would announce an increase in its key interest rate to 0.75%, which it did in early August.
Meanwhile, central banks in Europe and Japan maintained low interest rates and accommodative monetary policies. Amid rising trade uncertainty, People’s Bank of China monetary policies shifted with cuts to reserve requirement ratios and implementation of supportive measures such as accelerated infrastructure spending and tax cuts for small and medium enterprises and for individuals. Nevertheless, a strengthening U.S. dollar and the tensions associated with trade policies remained headwinds for investors overseas.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment returns will fluctuate. The Fund’s yield figures more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund than the total return figures. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wellsfargofunds.com.
Each class is sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
For floating NAV money market funds: You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Because the share price of the Fund will fluctuate, when you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you originally paid for them. The Fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

3 | The manager has contractually committed through May 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 Waivers 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 (if any), and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been 1.88.%, 2.00%, 2.04%, and 1.75% for Administrator Class, Institutional Class, Select Class, and Service Class, respectively. The expense ratio paid by an investor is the net expense ratio (the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers) as stated in the prospectuses. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 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 February 1, 2018 to July 31, 2018.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Heritage Money Market Fund | | | 23 | |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Heritage Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
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 Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee at 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 Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadvisers. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Funds Management. Repurchase agreements are agreements where the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase that security from the Fund at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain a market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by U.S. government securities. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
| | | | |
24 | | Wells Fargo Heritage Money Market Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. 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 been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. 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 declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
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 July 31, 2018, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $7,855,498,507 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
| | | | |
Gross unrealized gains | | $ | 756,594 | |
Gross unrealized losses | | | (31,601 | ) |
Net unrealized gains | | $ | 724,993 | |
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in shareholder servicing and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized 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 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, 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 subadvisers and providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.13% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the six months ended July 31, 2018, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a certain subadvisers to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”), an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is a subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.

Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | % |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Select Class | | | 0.04 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
| | | | |
26 | | Wells Fargo Heritage Money Market Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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. When each class of the Fund has exceeded its expense cap, Funds Management has waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses; otherwise, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund level expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.35% for Administrator Class shares, 0.20% for Institutional Class shares, 0.13% for Select Class shares, and 0.43% for Service Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. During the six months ended July 31, 2018, Funds Management voluntarily waived additional expenses beyond the contractual expense caps.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Administrator Class and Service Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% and 0.25%, respectively, of their average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell investment securities to other Wells Fargo affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices.
5. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo Heritage Money Market Fund
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 22-23, 2018 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Heritage Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”), an affiliate of Funds Management; and (iii) an investment sub-advisory agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. d/b/a Wells Capital Management Singapore (“WellsCap Singapore”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The sub-advisory agreements with WellsCap and WellsCap Singapore (the “Sub-Advisers”) are collectively referred to as the Sub-Advisory Agreements, and the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2018, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2018. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and investment performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”), of which Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers are a part, a summary of investments made in the business of WFAM, a summary of certain organizational and personnel changes involving Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers, and a description of Funds Management’s and the Sub-Advisers’ business continuity planning programs and of their approaches to data privacy and cybersecurity. The Board also considered the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance

programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.
Fund investment performance and expenses
The Board considered the investment performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2017. The Board considered these results in comparison to the investment performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the investment performance Universe. The Board noted that the investment performance of the Fund (Administrator Class) was higher than, equal to, or in range of the average investment performance of the Universe for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or in range of the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board took into account the Fund’s investment performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include, among other things, class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Advisers for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were equal to or in range of the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Advisers for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Advisers, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. Given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreements was reasonable.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of both WFAM and Wells Fargo & Co. (“Wells Fargo”) as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Advisers’ profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the WFAM and Wells Fargo profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses and recent enhancements made to the methodology. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management, WFAM or Wells Fargo from services provided to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

Economies of scale
The Board considered the extent to which Funds Management may experience economies of scale in the provision of management services, and the extent to which scale benefits, if any, would be shared with shareholders. In particular, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints and fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, as well as investments in the business intended to enhance services available to Fund shareholders, are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Advisers, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Advisers’ business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Advisers, fees earned by Funds Management and WellsCap from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Advisers, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Advisers under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Yields on money market funds benefited during the period.
During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April.
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2018. Yields on money market funds benefited during the period. As the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) moved toward a more normalized monetary policy after an extended term of low interest rates following the global financial crisis during 2007 and 2008, its steady pace of interest rate increases helped raise yields on short-term money market instruments.
Globally, stock markets followed a less consistent path during the period. After advancing during the summer and fall of 2017 in a roughly synchronized way, economic growth and stock markets globally diverged during the first seven months of 2018. For fixed-income investors, higher U.S. interest rates, rising inflation, and intensifying global geopolitical tensions tended to restrain taxable bond prices while high-yield and municipal bond investors generally enjoyed positive returns.
For the period, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 0.70%, and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 fell 6.66%. Emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 dropped 11.94%. In bond markets, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 declined 0.45% while fixed-income investments outside the U.S. fell 4.57%, according to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index.5 The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond added 1.18%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 was up 0.55%.
Volatility reemerged during the first quarter of 2018 as economic signals were mixed.
The first quarter of 2018 began with stock market gains in January following U.S. tax reform that lowered rates for individuals and corporations and deregulation advanced in some economic sectors. Then, investor optimism was supplanted by several concerns. Trade tensions intensified, particularly between the U.S. and China. The U.S. threatened to impose tariffs on a broad range of imported products. Increasing interest rates and inflation also caused concern. During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April. The S&P 500 Index closed the first quarter with a negative return, the first negative quarterly return for the index since 2014.

The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) in March 2018 and the rate of inflation reached the Fed’s 2% target for the first time in a year. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. The third revision of first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released during June 2018 was lowered to 2.0%.
Overseas, investment market returns reversed the strong returns of 2017. After having gained 27.19% for the 12-month period that ended on December 31, 2017, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) fell 1.46% for the seven-month period that ended July 31, 2018. The U.S. dollar strengthened relative to local currencies, which served to restrain returns.
Global trade tensions escalated during the second quarter and into the third quarter of 2018.
Global trade tensions escalated as the second quarter of 2018 opened and equity markets fell in response before resuming upward momentum later in April. The U.S. government imposed tariffs on products and commodities imported from other markets in North America, Europe, and Asia. In retaliation, governments imposed tariffs on U.S. products and commodities. In addition, the U.S. pushed its North American neighbors to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, furthering trade tensions and investor uncertainty.
The CPI-U8 added 0.2% in May after a similar increase in April. On a year-over-year basis, the all-items index rose 2.8% for the 12 months that ended May 31, continuing its upward trend since the beginning of the year. The index for all items less food and energy rose 2.2% for the same 12-month period. Interest rates generally increased and the bond markets tended to decline.
During June 2018, the Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps. Investment markets began to anticipate two more rate increases in 2018. Long-term interest rates in the U.S. trended higher—rates on the 10-year and 30-year Treasury bonds moved from 2.46% and 2.81%, respectively, on January 1, 2018, to 2.96% and 3.08%, respectively, on July 31, 2018. While higher at the end of the period, rates were off their peak levels on May 17, 2018, of 3.11% and 3.25%, respectively. Investors became more aware of and concerned about the potential for an inverted yield curve—sometimes a recession signal—as short-term rates increased more quickly than long-term rates.
The unemployment rate fell to 3.9% in July after ticking up slightly in June from May’s 3.8% level, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The annualized rate of GDP growth for the second quarter of 2018 was reported in July to be 4.1%, the highest level since the third quarter of 2014, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Internationally, the prospects for a smooth U.K. Brexit agreement was cast into doubt as members of Prime Minister Theresa May’s negotiating team resigned. Despite the uncertainty, the period closed with expectations that the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee in July would announce an increase in its key interest rate to 0.75%, which it did in early August.
Meanwhile, central banks in Europe and Japan maintained low interest rates and accommodative monetary policies. Amid rising trade uncertainty, People’s Bank of China monetary policies shifted with cuts to reserve requirement ratios and implementation of supportive measures such as accelerated infrastructure spending and tax cuts for small and medium enterprises and for individuals. Nevertheless, a strengthening U.S. dollar and the tensions associated with trade policies remained headwinds for investors overseas.

3 | The manager has contractually committed through May 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 Waivers 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 (if any), and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been 0.70%, 0.82%, and 0.53% for Administrator Class, Institutional Class, and Service Class, respectively. The expense ratio paid by an investor is the net expense ratio (the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers) as stated in the prospectuses. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

8 | | Wells Fargo Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, 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 February 1, 2018 to July 31, 2018.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund | | | 21 | |
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
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 Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee at 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 Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Funds Management. Repurchase agreements are agreements where the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase that security from the Fund at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain a market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by U.S. government securities. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. 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 been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. 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 declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
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 July 31, 2018, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in shareholder servicing and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized 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 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, 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 July 31, 2018:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

Total assets | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 201,010,000 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 201,010,000 | |
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At July 31, 2018, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser and providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.13% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the six months ended July 31, 2018, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15% 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 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | % |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. When each class of the Fund has exceeded its expense cap, Funds Management has waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses; otherwise, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund level expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.30% for Administrator Class shares, 0.20% for Institutional Class shares and 0.45% for Service Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents. Administrator Class and Service Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% and 0.25%, respectively, of their average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain other Wells Fargo affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Pursuant to these procedures, the Fund had $500,170,000 and $661,635,000 in interfund purchases and sales, respectively, during the six months ended July 31, 2018.
5. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 22-23, 2018 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2018, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2018. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and investment performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”), of which Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser are a part, a summary of investments made in the business of WFAM, a summary of certain organizational and personnel changes involving Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, and a description of Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business continuity planning programs and of their approaches to data privacy and cybersecurity. The Board also considered the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.

Fund investment performance and expenses
The Board considered the investment performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2017. The Board considered these results in comparison to the investment performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”) and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the investment performance of the Fund (Institutional Class) was higher than the average investment performance of the Universe for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were in range of the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for the Administrator Class and Institutional Class, but higher than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Group for the Service Class.
The Board took into account the Fund’s investment performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include, among other things, class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than, equal to, or in range of the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. Given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of both WFAM and Wells Fargo & Co. (“Wells Fargo”) as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the WFAM and Wells Fargo profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses and recent enhancements made to the methodology. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management, WFAM or Wells Fargo from services provided to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

Economies of scale
The Board considered the extent to which Funds Management may experience economies of scale in the provision of management services, and the extent to which scale benefits, if any, would be shared with shareholders. In particular, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints and fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, as well as investments in the business intended to enhance services available to Fund shareholders, are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Yields on money market funds benefited during the period.
During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April.
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Government Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2018. Yields on money market funds benefited during the period. As the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) moved toward a more normalized monetary policy after an extended term of low interest rates following the global financial crisis during 2007 and 2008, its steady pace of interest rate increases helped raise yields on short-term money market instruments.
Globally, stock markets followed a less consistent path during the period. After advancing during the summer and fall of 2017 in a roughly synchronized way, economic growth and stock markets globally diverged during the first seven months of 2018. For fixed-income investors, higher U.S. interest rates, rising inflation, and intensifying global geopolitical tensions tended to restrain taxable bond prices while high-yield and municipal bond investors generally enjoyed positive returns.
For the period, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 0.70%, and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 fell 6.66%. Emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 dropped 11.94%. In bond markets, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 declined 0.45% while fixed-income investments outside the U.S. fell 4.57%, according to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index.5 The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 added 1.18%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 was up 0.55%.
Volatility reemerged during the first quarter of 2018 as economic signals were mixed.
The first quarter of 2018 began with stock market gains in January following U.S. tax reform that lowered rates for individuals and corporations and deregulation advanced in some economic sectors. Then, investor optimism was supplanted by several concerns. Trade tensions intensified, particularly between the U.S. and China. The U.S. threatened to impose tariffs on a broad range of imported products. Increasing interest rates and inflation also caused concern. During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April. The S&P 500 Index closed the first quarter with a negative return, the first negative quarterly return for the index since 2014.

The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) in March 2018 and the rate of inflation reached the Fed’s 2% target for the first time in a year. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. The third revision of first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released during June 2018 was lowered to 2.0%.
Overseas, investment market returns reversed the strong returns of 2017. After having gained 27.19% for the 12-month period that ended on December 31, 2017, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) fell 1.46% for the seven-month period that ended July 31, 2018. The U.S. dollar strengthened relative to local currencies, which served to restrain returns.
Global trade tensions escalated during the second quarter and into the third quarter of 2018.
Global trade tensions escalated as the second quarter of 2018 opened and equity markets fell in response before resuming upward momentum later in April. The U.S. government imposed tariffs on products and commodities imported from other markets in North America, Europe, and Asia. In retaliation, governments imposed tariffs on U.S. products and commodities. In addition, the U.S. pushed its North American neighbors to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, furthering trade tensions and investor uncertainty.
The CPI-U8 added 0.2% in May after a similar increase in April. On a year-over-year basis, the all-items index rose 2.8% for the 12 months that ended May 31, continuing its upward trend since the beginning of the year. The index for all items less food and energy rose 2.2% for the same 12-month period. Interest rates generally increased and the bond markets tended to decline.
During June 2018, the Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps. Investment markets began to anticipate two more rate increases in 2018. Long-term interest rates in the U.S. trended higher—rates on the 10-year and 30-year Treasury bonds moved from 2.46% and 2.81%, respectively, on January 1, 2018, to 2.96% and 3.08%, respectively, on July 31, 2018. While higher at the end of the period, rates were off their peak levels on May 17, 2018, of 3.11% and 3.25%, respectively. Investors became more aware of and concerned about the potential for an inverted yield curve—sometimes a recession signal—as short-term rates increased more quickly than long-term rates.
The unemployment rate fell to 3.9% in July after ticking up slightly in June from May’s 3.8% level, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The annualized rate of GDP growth for the second quarter of 2018 was reported in July to be 4.1%, the highest level since the third quarter of 2014, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Internationally, the prospects for a smooth U.K. Brexit agreement was cast into doubt as members of Prime Minister Theresa May’s negotiating team resigned. Despite the uncertainty, the period closed with expectations that the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee in July would announce an increase in its key interest rate to 0.75%, which it did in early August.
Meanwhile, central banks in Europe and Japan maintained low interest rates and accommodative monetary policies. Amid rising trade uncertainty, People’s Bank of China monetary policies shifted with cuts to reserve requirement ratios and implementation of supportive measures such as accelerated infrastructure spending and tax cuts for small and medium enterprises and for individuals. Nevertheless, a strengthening U.S. dollar and the tensions associated with trade policies remained headwinds for investors overseas.

3 | The manager has contractually committed through May 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 Waivers at 0.60% for Class A, 0.35% for Administrator Class, 0.20% for Institutional Class, 0.14% for Select Class, 0.50% for Service Class, and 0.77% for Sweep Class. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses (if any), and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been 1.36%, 1.63%, 1.75%, 1.79%, 1.46%, and 1.20% for Class A, Administrator Class, Institutional Class, Select Class, Service Class, and Sweep Class, respectively. The expense ratio paid by an investor is the net expense ratio (the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers) as stated in the prospectuses. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

8 | | Wells Fargo Government Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder 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 February 1, 2018 to July 31, 2018.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Government Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity.
Investments which are not valued using the method discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the 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 Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee at 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 Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Funds Management. Repurchase agreements are agreements where the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase that security from the Fund at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain a market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by U.S. government securities. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.

Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily.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 been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. 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 declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
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 July 31, 2018, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to 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 |

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 and providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.13% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the six months ended July 31, 2018, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.13% 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 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A | | | 0.22 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Select Class | | | 0.04 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Sweep Class | | | 0.03 | |
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. When each class of the Fund has exceeded its expense cap, Funds Management has waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses; otherwise, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund level expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.60% for Class A shares, 0.35% for Administrator Class shares, 0.20% for Institutional Class shares, 0.14% for Select Class shares, 0.50% for Service Class shares, and 0.77% for Sweep Class shares. Prior to June 1, 2018, the Fund’s expenses were capped at 0.65% for Class A shares, 0.16% for Select Class shares, and 0.79% for Sweep Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Sweep Class shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Sweep Class shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.35% of the average daily net assets of Sweep Class shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Service Class, and Sweep Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of each class. Administrator Class is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.

Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell investment securities to other Wells Fargo affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices.
5. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo Government Money Market Fund
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 22-23, 2018 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Government Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2018, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2018. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and investment performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”), of which Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser are a part, a summary of investments made in the business of WFAM, a summary of certain organizational and personnel changes involving Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, and a description of Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business continuity planning programs and of their approaches to data privacy and cybersecurity. The Board also considered the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.

Fund investment performance and expenses
The Board considered the investment performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2017. The Board considered these results in comparison to the investment performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the investment performance of the Fund (Class Admin) was higher than or in range of the average investment performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the investment performance of the Fund was higher than its benchmark index, the Lipper U.S. Government Money Market Funds Index, for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or in range of the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for the Administrator, Institutional, Service and Select share classes, but higher than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for Class A and Sweep Class. The Board noted that the net operating expense ratio caps for the Fund’s Sweep Class, Select Class, and Class A would be reduced.
The Board took into account the Fund’s investment performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include, among other things, class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than, equal to, or in range of the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. Given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of both WFAM and Wells Fargo & Co. (“Wells Fargo”) as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the WFAM and Wells Fargo profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses and recent enhancements made to the methodology. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management, WFAM or Wells Fargo from services provided to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

Economies of scale
The Board considered the extent to which Funds Management may experience economies of scale in the provision of management services, and the extent to which scale benefits, if any, would be shared with shareholders. In particular, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints and fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, as well as investments in the business intended to enhance services available to Fund shareholders, are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Yields on money market funds benefited during the period.
During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April.
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo 100% Treasury Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2018. Yields on money market funds benefited during the period. As the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) moved toward a more normalized monetary policy after an extended term of low interest rates following the global financial crisis during 2007 and 2008, its steady pace of interest rate increases helped raise yields on short-term money market instruments.
Globally, stock markets followed a less consistent path during the period. After advancing during the summer and fall of 2017 in a roughly synchronized way, economic growth and stock markets globally diverged during the first seven months of 2018. For fixed-income investors, higher U.S. interest rates, rising inflation, and intensifying global geopolitical tensions tended to restrain taxable bond prices while high-yield and municipal bond investors generally enjoyed positive returns.
For the period, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 0.70%, and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 fell 6.66%. Emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 dropped 11.94%. In bond markets, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 declined 0.45% while fixed-income investments outside the U.S. fell 4.57%, according to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index.5 The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 added 1.18%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 was up 0.55%.
Volatility reemerged during the first quarter of 2018 as economic signals were mixed.
The first quarter of 2018 began with stock market gains in January following U.S. tax reform that lowered rates for individuals and corporations and deregulation advanced in some economic sectors. Then, investor optimism was supplanted by several concerns. Trade tensions intensified, particularly between the U.S. and China. The U.S. threatened to impose tariffs on a broad range of imported products. Increasing interest rates and inflation also caused concern. During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April. The S&P 500 Index closed the first quarter with a negative return, the first negative quarterly return for the index since 2014.

The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) in March 2018 and the rate of inflation reached the Fed’s 2% target for the first time in a year. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. The third revision of first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released during June 2018 was lowered to 2.0%.
Overseas, investment market returns reversed the strong returns of 2017. After having gained 27.19% for the 12-month period that ended on December 31, 2017, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) fell 1.46% for the seven-month period that ended July 31, 2018. The U.S. dollar strengthened relative to local currencies, which served to restrain returns.
Global trade tensions escalated during the second quarter and into the third quarter of 2018.
Global trade tensions escalated as the second quarter of 2018 opened and equity markets fell in response before resuming upward momentum later in April. The U.S. government imposed tariffs on products and commodities imported from other markets in North America, Europe, and Asia. In retaliation, governments imposed tariffs on U.S. products and commodities. In addition, the U.S. pushed its North American neighbors to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, furthering trade tensions and investor uncertainty.
The CPI-U8 added 0.2% in May after a similar increase in April. On a year-over-year basis, the all-items index rose 2.8% for the 12 months that ended May 31, continuing its upward trend since the beginning of the year. The index for all items less food and energy rose 2.2% for the same 12-month period. Interest rates generally increased and the bond markets tended to decline.
During June 2018, the Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps. Investment markets began to anticipate two more rate increases in 2018. Long-term interest rates in the U.S. trended higher—rates on the 10-year and 30-year Treasury bonds moved from 2.46% and 2.81%, respectively, on January 1, 2018, to 2.96% and 3.08%, respectively, on July 31, 2018. While higher at the end of the period, rates were off their peak levels on May 17, 2018, of 3.11% and 3.25%, respectively. Investors became more aware of and concerned about the potential for an inverted yield curve—sometimes a recession signal—as short-term rates increased more quickly than long-term rates.
The unemployment rate fell to 3.9% in July after ticking up slightly in June from May’s 3.8% level, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The annualized rate of GDP growth for the second quarter of 2018 was reported in July to be 4.1%, the highest level since the third quarter of 2014, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Internationally, the prospects for a smooth U.K. Brexit agreement was cast into doubt as members of Prime Minister Theresa May’s negotiating team resigned. Despite the uncertainty, the period closed with expectations that the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee in July would announce an increase in its key interest rate to 0.75%, which it did in early August.
Meanwhile, central banks in Europe and Japan maintained low interest rates and accommodative monetary policies. Amid rising trade uncertainty, People’s Bank of China monetary policies shifted with cuts to reserve requirement ratios and implementation of supportive measures such as accelerated infrastructure spending and tax cuts for small and medium enterprises and for individuals. Nevertheless, a strengthening U.S. dollar and the tensions associated with trade policies remained headwinds for investors overseas.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment returns will fluctuate. The Fund’s yield figures more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund than the total return figures. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

Each class is sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
For government money market funds: You could lose money by investing in the Fund.

1 | Historical performance shown for Administrator Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Service Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to Service Class shares. If these expenses had not been included, returns for Administrator Class shares would be higher. Historical performance shown for Institutional Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Administrator Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to Administrator Class shares. If these expenses had not been included, returns for Institutional Class shares would be higher. Historical performance shown for Sweep Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Service Class shares, and has not been adjusted to reflect the higher expenses applicable to Sweep Class shares. If these expenses had been adjusted, returns for Sweep Class shares would be lower. |
2 | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2019, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers 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 (if any), and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been 1.28%, 1.55%, 1.67%, 1.38%, and 1.12% for Class A, Administrator Class, Institutional Class, Service Class, and Sweep Class, respectively. The expense ratio paid by an investor is the net expense ratio (the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers) as stated in the prospectuses. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

8 | | Wells Fargo 100% Treasury Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder 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 February 1, 2018 to July 31, 2018.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo 100% Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity.
Investments which are not valued using the method discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee at 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 Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee 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.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 been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. 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 declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax egulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.

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 July 31, 2018, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to 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, 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 July 31, 2018:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |
Assets | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Treasury debt | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 10,793,717,307 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 10,793,717,307 | |
The Fund recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. At July 31, 2018, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management fee
Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the manager of the Fund and provides advisory and fund-level administrative services under an investment management agreement. Under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is responsible for, among other services, implementing the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund, supervising the subadviser and providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.18%
| | | | |
20 | | Wells Fargo 100% Treasury Money Market Fund | | Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. Prior to June 1, 2018, Fund Management received a fee at an annual rate which started at 0.35% and declined to 0.23% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increased. For the six months ended July 31, 2018, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.27% 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 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A | | | 0.22 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Sweep Class | | | 0.03 | |
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. When each class of the Fund has exceeded its expense cap, Funds Management has waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses; otherwise, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund level expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.60% for Class A shares, 0.30% for Administrator Class shares, 0.20% for Institutional Class shares, 0.50% for Service Class shares, and 0.83% for Sweep Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Prior to June 1, 2018, the Fund’s expenses were capped at 0.65% for Class A shares.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Sweep Class shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Sweep Class shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.35% of the average daily net assets of Sweep Class shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Service Class, and Sweep Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class. Administrator Class is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain other Wells Fargo affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices.
5. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo 100% Treasury Money Market Fund
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 22-23, 2018 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo 100% Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2018, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2018. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and investment performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”), of which Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser are a part, a summary of investments made in the business of WFAM, a summary of certain organizational and personnel changes involving Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, and a description of Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business continuity planning programs and of their approaches to data privacy and cybersecurity. The Board also considered the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.

Fund investment performance and expenses
The Board considered the investment performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2017. The Board considered these results in comparison to the investment performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the investment performance of the Fund (Service Class) was higher than or equal to the average investment performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the investment performance of the Fund was higher than or equal to its benchmark index, the Lipper U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds Index, for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were equal to or in range of the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for Administrator Class and Institutional Class shares, but higher than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for the Fund’s Class A, Sweep Class and Service Class. The Board noted that the net operating expense ratio cap for Class A would be reduced.
The Board took into account the Fund’s investment performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include, among other things, class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were in range of the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Group for Sweep Class, but higher than the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for Class A, Administrator Class, Institutional Class, and Service Class. The also Board discussed and accepted Funds Management’s proposal to revise the Management Agreement to reduce the management fees paid by the Fund to Funds Management.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. Given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of both WFAM and Wells Fargo & Co. (“Wells Fargo”) as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the WFAM and Wells Fargo profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses and recent enhancements made to the methodology.
| | | | | | |
Other information (unaudited) | | Wells Fargo 100% Treasury Money Market Fund | | | 27 | |
Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Funds Management, WFAM or Wells Fargo from services provided to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
The Board considered the extent to which Funds Management may experience economies of scale in the provision of management services, and the extent to which scale benefits, if any, would be shared with shareholders. In particular, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints and fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, as well as investments in the business intended to enhance services available to Fund shareholders, are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund. The also Board discussed and accepted Funds Management’s proposal to revise the Management Agreement to reduce the management fees paid by the Fund to Funds Management.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Wells Fargo Funds
Yields on money market funds benefited during the period.
During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April.
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Treasury Plus Money Market Fund for the six-month period that ended July 31, 2018. Yields on money market funds benefited during the period. As the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) moved toward a more normalized monetary policy after an extended term of low interest rates following the global financial crisis during 2007 and 2008, its steady pace of interest rate increases helped raise yields on short-term money market instruments.
Globally, stock markets followed a less consistent path during the period. After advancing during the summer and fall of 2017 in a roughly synchronized way, economic growth and stock markets globally diverged during the first seven months of 2018. For fixed-income investors, higher U.S. interest rates, rising inflation, and intensifying global geopolitical tensions tended to restrain taxable bond prices while high-yield and municipal bond investors generally enjoyed positive returns.
For the period, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 0.70%, and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 fell 6.66%. Emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 dropped 11.94%. In bond markets, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 declined 0.45% while fixed-income investments outside the U.S. fell 4.57%, according to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index.5 The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 added 1.18%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 was up 0.55%.
Volatility reemerged during the first quarter of 2018 as economic signals were mixed.
The first quarter of 2018 began with stock market gains in January following U.S. tax reform that lowered rates for individuals and corporations and deregulation advanced in some economic sectors. Then, investor optimism was supplanted by several concerns. Trade tensions intensified, particularly between the U.S. and China. The U.S. threatened to impose tariffs on a broad range of imported products. Increasing interest rates and inflation also caused concern. During February 2018, the U.S. stock market endured a loss of more than 10% before recovering in March and April. The S&P 500 Index closed the first quarter with a negative return, the first negative quarterly return for the index since 2014.

The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) in March 2018 and the rate of inflation reached the Fed’s 2% target for the first time in a year. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. The third revision of first- quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released during June 2018 was lowered to 2.0%.
Overseas, investment market returns reversed the strong returns of 2017. After having gained 27.19% for the 12-month period that ended on December 31, 2017, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) fell 1.46% for the seven-month period that ended July 31, 2018. The U.S. dollar strengthened relative to local currencies, which served to restrain returns.
Global trade tensions escalated during the second quarter and into the third quarter of 2018.
Global trade tensions escalated as the second quarter of 2018 opened and equity markets fell in response before resuming upward momentum later in April. The U.S. government imposed tariffs on products and commodities imported from other markets in North America, Europe, and Asia. In retaliation, governments imposed tariffs on U.S. products and commodities. In addition, the U.S. pushed its North American neighbors to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, furthering trade tensions and investor uncertainty.
The CPI-U8 added 0.2% in May after a similar increase in April. On a year-over-year basis, the all-items index rose 2.8% for the 12 months that ended May 31, continuing its upward trend since the beginning of the year. The index for all items less food and energy rose 2.2% for the same 12-month period. Interest rates generally increased and the bond markets tended to decline.
During June 2018, the Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps. Investment markets began to anticipate two more rate increases in 2018. Long-term interest rates in the U.S. trended higher—rates on the 10-year and 30-year Treasury bonds moved from 2.46% and 2.81%, respectively, on January 1, 2018, to 2.96% and 3.08%, respectively, on July 31, 2018. While higher at the end of the period, rates were off their peak levels on May 17, 2018, of 3.11% and 3.25%, respectively. Investors became more aware of and concerned about the potential for an inverted yield curve—sometimes a recession signal—as short-term rates increased more quickly than long-term rates.
The unemployment rate fell to 3.9% in July after ticking up slightly in June from May’s 3.8% level, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The annualized rate of GDP growth for the second quarter of 2018 was reported in July to be 4.1%, the highest level since the third quarter of 2014, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Internationally, the prospects for a smooth U.K. Brexit agreement was cast into doubt as members of Prime Minister Theresa May’s negotiating team resigned. Despite the uncertainty, the period closed with expectations that the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee in July would announce an increase in its key interest rate to 0.75%, which it did in early August.
Meanwhile, central banks in Europe and Japan maintained low interest rates and accommodative monetary policies. Amid rising trade uncertainty, People’s Bank of China monetary policies shifted with cuts to reserve requirement ratios and implementation of supportive measures such as accelerated infrastructure spending and tax cuts for small and medium enterprises and for individuals. Nevertheless, a strengthening U.S. dollar and the tensions associated with trade policies remained headwinds for investors overseas.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment returns will fluctuate. The Fund’s yield figures more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund than the total return figures. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wellsfargofunds.com.
Each class is sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
For government money market funds: You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.

1 | Historical performance shown for Sweep Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of Class A shares, and has not been adjusted to include the higher expenses applicable to Sweep Class shares. If these expenses had been adjusted, returns for Sweep Class shares would be lower. |
2 | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report. |
3 | The manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2019, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers at 0.60% for Class A, 0.35% for Administrator Class, 0.20% for Institutional Class, 0.45% for Service Class, and 0.83% for Sweep Class. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses (if any), and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the cap. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. Without waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, the Fund’s 7-day current yield would have been 1.33%, 1.60%, 1.72%, 1.43%, and 1.18% for Class A, Administrator Class, Institutional Class, Service Class, and Sweep Class, respectively. The expense ratio paid by an investor is the net expense ratio (the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers) as stated in the prospectuses. |
4 | Amounts are calculated based on the total investments of the Fund. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

8 | | Wells Fargo Treasury Plus Money Market Fund | | Fund expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder 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 February 1, 2018 to July 31, 2018.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Treasury Plus Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity.
Investments which are not valued using the method discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee at 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 Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee which may include items for ratification.
Valuations of fair valued securities are compared to the next actual sales price when available, or other appropriate market values, to assess the continued appropriateness of the fair valuation methodologies used. These securities are fair valued on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration changes to appropriate market information and any significant changes to the inputs considered in the valuation process until there is a readily available price provided on an exchange or by an independent pricing service. Valuations received from an independent pricing service or independent broker-dealer quotes are periodically validated by comparisons to most recent trades and valuations provided by other independent pricing services in addition to the review of prices by the manager and/or subadviser. Unobservable inputs used in determining fair valuations are identified based on the type of security, taking into consideration factors utilized by market participants in valuing the investment, knowledge about the issuer and the current market environment.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Funds Management. Repurchase agreements are agreements where the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase that security from the Fund at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain a market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by U.S. government securities. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily.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 been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. 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 declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
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 July 31, 2018, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common expenses, and realized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to 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, 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 and providing fund-level administrative services in connection with the Fund’s operations. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual management fee starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.13% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. For the six months ended July 31, 2018, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.14% 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 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
Class A | | | 0.22 | % |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Service Class | | | 0.12 | |
Sweep Class | | | 0.03 | |
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. When each class of the Fund has exceeded its expense cap, Funds Management has waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses from fund level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses; otherwise, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund level expenses. Funds Management has committed through May 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.60% for Class A shares, 0.35% for Administrator Class shares, 0.20% for Institutional Class shares, 0.45% for Service Class shares, and 0.83% for Sweep Class shares. After this time, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Prior to June 1, 2018, the Fund’s expenses were capped at 0.65% for Class A shares.

Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Sweep Class shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Sweep Class shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.35% of the average daily net assets of Sweep Class shares.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Service Class, and Sweep Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of each class. Administrator Class is charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.
A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain other Wells Fargo affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices.
5. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo Treasury Plus Money Market Fund
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 22-23, 2018 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Treasury Plus Money Market Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2018, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Funds Management about these matters. Also, the Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2018. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and investment performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”), of which Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser are a part, a summary of investments made in the business of WFAM, a summary of certain organizational and personnel changes involving Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, and a description of Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business continuity planning programs and of their approaches to data privacy and cybersecurity. The Board also considered the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the full range of services provided to the Fund by Funds Management and its affiliates.

Fund investment performance and expenses
The Board considered the investment performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2017. The Board considered these results in comparison to the investment performance of funds in a universe that was determined by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) to be similar to the Fund (the “Universe”), and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and to other comparative data. Broadridge is an independent provider of investment company data. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the performance Universe. The Board noted that the investment performance of the Fund (Institutional Class) was higher than the average investment performance of the Universe for all periods under review. The Board also noted that the investment performance of the Fund was higher than its benchmark index, the Lipper U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds Index, for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were in range of than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for Service Class, Institutional Class, and Administrator Class, but higher than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for the Class A and Sweep Class. The Board noted that the net operating expense ratio caps for Class A would be reduced.
The Board took into account the Fund’s investment performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management under the Management Agreement, as well as the contractual fee rates payable by the Fund to Funds Management for class-level administrative services under a Class-Level Administration Agreement, which include, among other things, class-level transfer agency and sub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investment sub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or in range of the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. Given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Funds Management, as well as the profitability of both WFAM and Wells Fargo & Co. (“Wells Fargo”) as a whole, from providing services to the Fund and the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund was subsumed in the WFAM and Wells Fargo profitability analysis.
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses and recent enhancements made to the methodology. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size and type of fund. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported
| | | | |
30 | | Wells Fargo Treasury Plus Money Market Fund | | Other information (unaudited) |
by Funds Management, WFAM or Wells Fargo from services provided to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
The Board considered the extent to which Funds Management may experience economies of scale in the provision of management services, and the extent to which scale benefits, if any, would be shared with shareholders. In particular, the Board noted the existence of breakpoints in the Fund’s management fee structure, which operate generally to reduce the Fund’s expense ratios as the Fund grows in size. It considered that, for a small fund or a fund that shrinks in size, breakpoints conversely can result in higher fee levels. The Board also considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints and fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, as well as investments in the business intended to enhance services available to Fund shareholders, are means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders of the Fund.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee and expense arrangements, including contractual breakpoints, constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other benefits to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that various affiliates of Funds Management may receive distribution-related fees, shareholder servicing payments and sub-transfer agency fees in respect of shares sold or held through them and services provided.
The Board also reviewed information about soft dollar credits earned and utilized by the Sub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser from managing a private investment vehicle for the fund family’s securities lending collateral and commissions earned by an affiliated broker from portfolio transactions.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.
